Li Shimin only waited for the ministers to agree with him, let Li Tai be in charge of building Yong'an Palace, and then take advantage of the situation to improve Li Tai's status.

Li Shimin looked at the ministers with confidence.

Quiet, quiet, silent.

No one spoke in the hall, and there was silence. In this weird atmosphere, even Shang Wenqi and Xu Jingzong shut up.

Li Shimin's enthusiasm was directly poured with a scoop of cold water, and he immediately became embarrassed. He was furious and asked aloud, "Why don't you speak?" ”

The ministers remained silent.

"Fang Xuanling." Li Shimin shouted sharply. He intends to break each one, and as long as someone is in favor, there will be a chain reaction.

"The minister is here." Fang Xuanling stood up honestly.

Li Shimin asked, "I decided that Li Tai would be responsible for the construction of Yong'an Palace, do you agree?" “

The persimmon picked up the soft pinch, Fang Xuanling is getting older and more timid, just now he apologized to Li Shimin in public under the pressure of Li Shimin. Li Shimin believed that Fang Xuanling would definitely succumb to his pressure, so he first named Fang Xuanling to express his position.

"Your Majesty, the minister does not agree." Fang Xuanling's voice was not high, and his speech speed was also very slow, but the tone he conveyed was extremely firm.

"Why?" Li Shimin suppressed his anger and asked.

"Li Jungong has never had experience in building palaces, and he is not capable of such a huge project." Fang Xuanling said quietly.

Fang Xuanling is old and refined, he grasped that Li Tai was not familiar with the construction of things, and said his reasons, so that Li Shimin had nothing to say.

Li Shimin looked at Wen Qi, the new Shangshang of the Ministry of Industry, and asked him to come out and speak.

Shang Wenqi hurriedly came out and said: "The minister is the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, and the minister is willing to assist Li Jungong in building Yong'an Palace." ”

Although Huang Furui, Li Jing and Xiao Qian were announced to be retired, they did not leave the Taiji Hall now. Huang Furui said disdainfully: "Lord Shang, you are the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, do you know how to build?" ”

"I don't understand this, but someone in the Ministry of Engineering does." Shang Wenqi was transferred from Taichang Temple, and he really didn't know how to build.

Huang Fu Rui sneered: "Since the establishment of our dynasty, Your Majesty has been diligent and thrifty, and the Ministry of Industry has never built a large palace, who in the Ministry of Industry can take on this responsibility?" ”

Huang Furui is very confident, because he was a squire of the Ministry of Works in the Sui Dynasty, and built more than a dozen palaces for Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty, so it can be said that he is the most experienced construction master in the Tang Dynasty.

At this time, Gao Jingming, who had just been reprimanded, came out and said, "Your Majesty, where did the money come from to build Yong'an Palace?" ”

Li Shimin said: "Li Tai decided to sell Furong Garden and his property in Luoyang, at least a few million yuan, with this money, isn't it enough to withdraw some of the money from the household department?" ”

Yin Hongzhi said: "Your Majesty, Li Jungong's Furong Garden and his property in Luoyang are all rewarded to him by Your Majesty, and they are the properties in his name, but these properties are all royal properties, and Li Jungong has no right to dispose of them. ”

Li Shimin said angrily: "Since it is a royal property, I agree to sell it, can you manage it?" "This is already a bit unreasonable, Li You, Li Ke and the others have no right to dispose of it privately, can they just go to Li Tai?

Gao Jingming said: "Your Majesty, even if you agree with Li Jungong to sell Furong Garden and his property in Luoyang, but according to the hierarchy of the imperial court, who would dare to buy these royal properties?" And who would dare to live in it?

Chen thought that the so-called Li Jungong sold Furong Garden and his property in Luoyang to raise funds was empty talk and would not work at all. ”

"That's it, the words are beautiful, but in fact, they are empty words."

"No wonder, he didn't really want to pay, he was just putting on a show."

"Also, he has a problem doing this, if he does this, what will happen to the other princes and princesses? What about us people? Isn't this forcing everyone to donate money to fulfill his filial piety? ”

"It's just, it's too much."

"Buzz." There was a lot of discussion in the main hall.

Li Shimin didn't expect that these people would put forward such a reason, but he couldn't refute it. He said angrily: "Can't I build Yong'an Palace? ”

"Your Majesty." At this time, Yan Liben stepped forward. He said: "If you want to build Yong'an Palace, none of the ministers and others oppose it, but the construction of Yong'an Palace is huge, and the person in charge of building it must have rich experience and overall planning ability, as well as the ability to raise funds."

The Ministry of Household approved the project to fund the construction of Yong'an Palace, and the ministers had no opinion, but if such a huge project was not careful, it would cause a lot of money, and a large amount of additional funds would be added at that time, and it would become a bottomless pit if it was not done well.

Chen used to be the master of Li Jungong, and he couldn't be more familiar with his abilities. The minister believed that Li Jungong did not have the ability to be responsible for the construction of Yong'an Palace. ”

"Yes, Lord Yan has a point." The ministers chimed in.

Li Shimin couldn't cry or laugh, he understood that everyone was not against building Yong'an Palace for himself, and he could be regarded as loyal to himself, but he didn't agree that Li Tai was responsible.

What everyone said was very reasonable, and Li Shimin couldn't refute it for a while, so he had to look at the eldest grandson Wuji, hoping that he would come out and speak.

The eldest grandson Wuji stood up, and he said: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the construction of Yong'an Palace is a major event, and it needs a prestigious and experienced minister to be in charge, although Li Jungong is a relative of the minister, but the minister also thinks that he is not suitable for this position. ”

At this time, Li Shimin could not find anyone to support his opinion, and he looked at Cen Wenwen.

Cen Wenwen was very embarrassed, although he wanted to curry favor with Li Shimin, but the ministers were against Li Tai, if he supported Li Tai, it would be tantamount to offending all the ministers, and it would also be equivalent to setting up a large number of opponents for Li Ke, and he couldn't do it.

He pondered and said: "Your Majesty, your achievements are high, and your ministers are loyal to you, and all of them are in favor of building Yong'an Palace, which you deserve."

However, because of this, the ministers hope that the Yong'an Palace can be built to be as beautiful as possible, so they should be more cautious in the selection of people to build the Yong'an Palace. ”

His words did not offend anyone, but they showed his attitude against Li Tai.

Hou Junji, Wei Chigong, Li Daozong and others were worried that Li Shimin would ask him alone, and they didn't have the level to answer questions like Cen Wenwen, so they came out together and said, "The ministers agree with Lord Cen's opinion. ”

Li Shimin was very embarrassed and didn't know how to proceed for a while.

Xu Jingzong knew Li Shimin's thoughts, and also saw the attitude of the ministers, he didn't care about the attitude of the ministers, he just wanted to hold Li Shimin's thighs firmly. Li Shimin gave him the opportunity to make meritorious contributions, and he decided to seize it firmly.

He came out and said: "Your Majesty, the ministers oppose the opinions of Lord Gao, Datang can have today's brilliant achievements, all thanks to His Majesty's wise leadership, and any decision of His Majesty is wise."

The minister also disagrees with Lord Yan's opinion, as the saying goes, knowing the son is better than the father, can your Lord Yan's understanding of Li Jungong exceed His Majesty's understanding of his own son?

His Majesty thinks that King Li Junwang has the ability to be responsible for the construction of Yong'an Palace, so he must be able to do so.

Besides, the construction of Yong'an Palace for Your Majesty is Your Majesty's own business, can Your Majesty use whoever he wants, what is in your troubles, and can you oppose it? ”

Xu Jingzong's words seem to be a scoundrel, but they are not easy to refute, and whoever refutes them is directly against Li Shimin.

However, the ministers of the Zhenguan period were not intimidated.

"Xu Jingzong, what kind of bastard are you talking about?" Wei Zheng came out to speak. He couldn't get used to Xu Jingzong's villain's face, so he didn't give him face directly.

He said: "Your Majesty, no one among the ministers opposes the construction of Yong'an Palace, and everyone's opinion is also responsible for this matter, Xu Jingzong is sowing discord when he says this." The minister believed that his behavior should be punished. ”

"Yes, Xu Jingzong has gone too far, and he should be punished." The ministers said one after another.

Xu Jingzong immediately retorted: "Wei Zheng, you are clearly dissatisfied with Your Majesty's removal of your position as a provincial servant, and you are deliberately attacking Your Majesty. "As soon as this product speaks, it will be on the line.

Yan Liben's mouth was fast, and he said: "Xu Jingzong, you are talking every word to provoke the relationship between His Majesty and the ministers, which shows that you have ill intentions and harbor evil intentions. What exactly do you want to do? ”

"yes, this guy has a character problem."

"Yes, he's a traitor."

"Buzz." The ministers were talking again. Everyone was disgusted by his villainous face.

"Your Majesty." Xu Jingzong was anxious, he roared loudly and threw out a killer move.

He said: "Your Majesty, you have seen that it is no accident that many people oppose your opinion today, and it is someone who instructed them to do it behind their backs. ”

As soon as these words came out, the hall was silent.
