The warm carriage makes people a little drowsy, and returning to the cage is always full of temptation, but Jia Yi woke up suddenly after two dozes, because he dreamed of an inkstone flying over because of the drowsiness just now, in order not to be cleaned up by Li Er, Jia Yi felt that it was worth it even if he didn't sleep for a few days and nights.

The carriage soon came to the gate of the palace, the carriage was forbidden to enter without special permission, Jia Yi walked down from the carriage, only to find that there were already a lot of people standing in front of the palace gate, but the discerning person could see at a glance that these were two distinct legions, the civil and military attachés formed two different collectives, Jia Yi looked around, and plunged directly into the circle of military attachés without any hesitation.

"Boy, don't talk too much after going to court for a while, just watch quietly." Qin Qiong looked at Jia Yi with a calm face, and gave such a sentence for no reason, which made Jia Yi's head rise a big question, looking at the others, he found that their expressions were not much different, and then he was sure that something must have happened that he didn't know about something.

"Uncle Qin, what's wrong?"

"It's not a big deal, Tuyuhun, Goguryeo, Gaochang and other countries jointly put pressure on Datang to return the money they were cheated of."

Jia Yi understood in an instant, it turned out that this was the case, judging from their attitude, the merchants who went to their country to peddle glass should have made a lot of money, otherwise it would not have caused them so much anger.

In fact, Jia Yi had already guessed such an ending, and even the emperor's attitude he guessed was not far from ten, but now that he was about to face the turmoil caused by himself, he was still a little weak-hearted, for fear that Li Eryi would not be able to hold on and push himself out, then everything would be over.

"Squeak"

The gate of the palace, which had long been untied, slowly opened, and the harsh sound made Jia Yi's brows furrow tightly, if he could pass smoothly today, he would definitely tell the gatekeeper a good way to make the gate silent for eternity.

The ministers lined up in two columns, slowly stepped into the palace gate, no one spoke, the quiet environment made people feel full of awe of this palace from the bottom of their hearts, full of majestic buildings, so that Jia Yi wanted to turn around and run, such a home, he didn't want to stay for a quarter of an hour, impersonal building, more like a temple.

Officials above the fifth rank were fortunate to stand in the palace, and others wearing green official uniforms could only stand outside the palace blowing the cold wind and basking in the cold sun, trembling and waiting for the emperor to finish the meeting, so that they could hear from the mouth of the chief about the recent court affairs.

I found a place close to the stove, the whole hall was empty, although there were many stoves, but it was particularly cold, only by leaning on the edge of the stove could you feel a little warmth.

With a long reading from the eunuch, Li Erlong walked from behind the curtain to the dragon chair, sat down with the golden sword, and the court meeting officially began.

"Your Majesty, the battle report of the border pass, Goguryeo, Gaochang, Tuyuhun and other national armies pressed the border, and threatened to ask my Datang to give them justice."

Du Ruhui as the secretary of the military department, this kind of war report from the border pass naturally mentioned by him, although this is about Jia Yi, but Jia Yi did not show any dissatisfaction with Du Ruhui, the army pressure is not something that can be concealed, if it is not handled well, it is really the beginning of a battle.

"What do you want justice?" Li Er asked knowingly.

"My Tang Dynasty businessman deceived their envoys and induced them to buy glaze at a high price."

Soon, the court became lively, although Jia Yi has bought the glass abroad for the price of cabbage, but in China, the glass is still a scarce thing, larger than the glass manufacturing plant, the ability to produce glass is also very limited, some time ago I was busy transferring foreign money, so naturally I didn't care about giving people a little glass to try.

In fact, if those deceived foreigners withdraw their army now, but sell the glass bought at a high price back to the Tang Dynasty, as long as the speed is fast enough, it is estimated that not only will they not lose, but also make a small profit, but it is a pity that the solidified thinking makes them feel that after being cheated, the money will completely fall into the hands of the Tang people, and all they can do is to wave the blade in their hands and ask for it.

"What do you think?"

The top of the hall is not a hall of words, it is impossible for Li Er to say anything, although his words have absolute weight, but they are not always able to play a great role.

"Shangjia has been a dog in the fly camp since ancient times, for a little profit, he dared to violate the law at will, and now he has hit the idea on the head of the envoys of my neighbors of the Tang Dynasty.

Wei Zheng once again played the role of an upright mirror, but it is said that with such a serious consequence, he should directly name it, and then pull it out and use the lives of these businessmen to extinguish the anger of many countries, however, he did not do this, but just said a severe punishment, even if it was to expose the matter.

Jia Yi, who heard Wei Zheng's words, suddenly lit up, and Wei Zheng also began to learn to say something according to Li Er's preferences, and these words alone would make Li Er's boredom with him change a lot.

"Those businessmen naturally have to be severely punished, but now that the soldiers of all countries are pressing the border, how should we deal with it?"

Li Er's voice fell, and the whispering voice filled the entire court again, Jia Yi standing in the crowd knew that this time there was nothing wrong with him, and Li Er's attitude alone had already seen the clues, as a strong emperor, who would he allow to behave disrespectfully towards him? Not to mention the embarrassing things that can throw people into grandma's house by going out to exchange for peace in their own family.

If you want to fight, then come to war, anyway, Jia Yi's strategy of selling glass this time has made millions of dollars for Datang, and the military funds are very sufficient, it is nothing more than a matter of killing two people, if they can win the battle, Li Er, who is still in the province, will clean them up one by one in the future.

Everyone basically knew Li Er's temper, and seeing that Li Er was not ready to hold those businessmen accountable, all the ministers felt that they had shifted the topic to their attitude towards the enemy country.

"Your Majesty, if you use force against the invading country, I am afraid that our national strength will be insufficient."

To put it bluntly, you don't have any money, so it's a hairy fight.

Without waiting for Li Er to speak, the eldest grandson Wuji stood up, held back the smile on his face, and said to the minister who spoke just now: "Although Shangjia will commit national harm in the future, it has brought me a lot of benefits to Datang. ”

In an instant, the entire court was filled with bursts of cold air sucking sounds, more than two million guan, which is equivalent to twice the total income of the entire Datang country last year, the last time to attack the Eastern Turks, all the expenses added up to only 300,000 guan, and these two million guan are indeed enough to fight this war.

Since money is no longer an issue, let's think about people.

"Your Majesty, this time the enemy country is coming, and there is no misfortune in real numbers, but my Guanzhong disciples want to shed their blood for this, which is a great injustice to my Guanzhong children."

The corners of Li Er's mouth pulled up a slight arc, and then he said: "If you can, I want to calm the world." ”

The ambition is what Li Er is talking about now, the emperor has spoken like this, and many ministers really don't know what to say, seeing that everyone has nothing to say, Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui stood up and said to Li Er: "The minister thinks that taking a step back from both sides is the best strategy at the moment." ”

The so-called two sides take a step back, and the enemy country will inevitably retreat, and Li Er wants to punish those businessmen, that is, Jia Yi and others, but will the enemy country really retreat obediently as Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui thought?

"Back to Your Majesty, many enemy countries are already treasury air raids under the deliberate operation of Shang Jia, and it is difficult to have the strength to fight again, at this time when my Datang has just pacified the Eastern Turks, it is when morale is at its peak, and I think they will not be willing to provoke my Datang at this time."

If you don't say that Fang Mou is decisive, people can always grasp the root of the problem when they analyze it, so as to say the most direct and effective solution, and it is no wonder that Li Er entrusted the two of them with a heavy task.

The matter was finalized like this, Li Er needed to dispose of some of the businessmen involved in it in order to make a show, and he was also clear in his heart who these businessmen were, but it was really difficult to open his mouth, all of them were nobles, although this time it was said that the enemy country was not lightly pitted, but it was a rare good thing for Datang, and it was not an exaggeration to even use meritorious officials, but now he has to be punished, but how can he open this mouth.

Just when Li Er was in trouble, Qin Qiong was the first to bring Qin Huaiyu to Li Er, Qin Huaiyu knelt on one knee and begged the emperor to punish him for the crime of harming foreign envoys.

This dramatic change directly made Li Er stunned in place, and he couldn't figure out why there was such a change, but the thing he was still worried about just now was solved, although he was still a little unbearable, and after seeing Qin Huaiyu's firm eyes clearly, he completely put his mind at ease, and then he said the decision to send him thousands of miles to Jiangnan.

Go to Jiangnan, then it is not called distribution, that is called reward, no matter what era it is, Jiangnan is the land of fish and rice, where not only is it rich, but also beautiful scenery, if it can be distributed to that place, I believe that the offender will become a lot.

In this regard, Qin Huaiyu didn't say any nonsense, and directly thanked him for it, and then followed behind Qin Qiong and Li Er to retreat and leave.

Then Cheng Chumo, Sun Chong and others also rushed to Li Er's face, and demanded that they must also be assigned to Jiangnan together.
