Chapter 160: Peak Duel (3)
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, the ministers never take care of housework, and the ministers don't know about these things! The minister will definitely surrender ...... when he goes back," Yu Zhining was so frightened that he stammered, and his words were not good.
Li Shimin looked at Yu Zhining expressionlessly, and only after a while did he look away and turn to the other ministers, which seemed to say: What about the tenant rent in your family?
When the ministers saw Li Shimin looking at him, they were so frightened that they didn't dare to say anything.
Seeing this, Li Chengqian hurriedly saluted solemnly again, and said loudly: "Father, the people of Guanzhong are living a difficult life, please ask my father to issue an order with a benevolent heart that all tenant rents in Guanzhong will be set at 30% forever." ”
Li Shimin ignored Li Chengqian when he heard this, just retracted his gaze and glanced at the note handed by Li Chengqian on the table, and then looked up at Gao Shilian and said, "How does Gao Qing think this matter should be handled?"
Although Li Shimin hated the excessively high rent, he was a mature politician in the end, and it was impossible for him to be angry about major matters involving the entire Guanzhong.
Gao Shilian was stunned when he heard this, but he glanced at Li Chengqian, who was standing in the middle, and then looked at Li Shimin, and his heart was very entangled.
To be honest, Gao Shilian was also a little afraid of Li Chengqian at this time, and did not dare to express his opposition to this matter in person, but let him agree with Li Shimin's order to reduce the tenant rent in Guanzhong to 30%, and he knew that this matter was difficult to implement.
Seeing that Li Shimin and Li Chengqian were looking at him, Gao Shilian hurriedly bowed and said: "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, this matter affects millions of people in the entire Guanzhong, is it not that after the Zhongshu Province, Shangshu Province and Menxia Province have discussed together, they will play Your Majesty and His Royal Highness the Prince." ”
Li Chengqian didn't know whether Gao Shilian really couldn't make up his mind for a while or deliberately wanted to delay, no matter what kind of thing Li Chengqian didn't want to give them time.
Li Chengqian originally wanted Li Shimin to make the order first, so that no one at the Zeng level of the imperial court would dare to stop this matter, and he also made arrangements for the following implementation.
"Now that the officials of the three provinces in His Royal Highness are here, you can discuss it here!" As he spoke, Li Chengqian turned his gaze to Yang Shidao, Ma Zhou, Zhang Chengxing, Xi and a few Zhongshu scholars, and the six Shangshu in Chang.
Seeing Li Chengqian's gaze, everyone subconsciously walked out of the train, but they didn't know how to discuss this matter for a while, after all, the three provinces had never discussed political affairs in the main hall before.
"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Prince, it's almost noon at this moment, it's better to let the hundred officials go back to the council first, and the ministers and others will go to the Liangyi Hall to discuss with Your Majesty." Ma Zhou played. He also believes that this matter is important and extremely difficult to implement, and needs to be carefully considered.
Li Shimin nodded when he heard this, then raised his head and said in a loud voice: "Let's retreat from the dynasty first, and after lunch, the officials of the three provinces will go to the Liangyi Hall to discuss matters." Speaking of this, he glanced at Li Chengqian, who looked concerned, and said: "The prince is unwell and goes back to recuperate, so don't go to the Liangyi Palace." ”
Li Chengqian said in a hurry when he heard this: "Father, the illness of the sons and daughters has been cured by Yu Zizi's anger......
"Alright! Retreat. Li Shimin flicked his sleeves impatiently and left.
"Father-" Li Chengqian was about to catch up when he saw this, but was pulled by someone from behind.
Looking back, it was Zhongshu Ling Yang Shidao who pulled his sleeve with a wry smile on his face, and Li Chengqian asked puzzledly: "Why did Yang Qing's family pull the lonely king?"
Yang Shidao let go of his hand when he saw this, and said with a wry smile: "His Royal Highness the Prince, His Majesty is angry at this moment, don't bother him, as for the tenant rent reduction, the ministers and others will try their best to plan for the country." ”
Li Chengqian looked at Yang Shidao and didn't know what he meant, what does it mean to try his best to plan for the country?
"Did Yang Qing's family agree to reduce the tenant rent to 30%?" Li Chengqian was unsure.
Hearing this, Yang Shidao looked at Li Chengqian sincerely and said: "His Royal Highness the Prince, this matter should be discussed after His Majesty and the ministers have discussed it, since His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has already submitted a note, don't participate in this matter anymore." ”
Li Chengqian looked at Yang Shidao when he heard this, and secretly thought in his heart that although Yang Shidao was a good man, he could be the prime minister in the Tang Dynasty as a member of the Sui Dynasty, and his political wisdom should not be underestimated.
What he meant was that Li Chengqian understood that handing over this matter to Li Shimin was tantamount to handing over all the responsibilities to Li Shimin, and Li Chengqian should not participate in the offending of people as the crown prince.
Li Chengqian thought about this clearly, and his heart sank, these ministers didn't dare to offend people, so they discussed the results......
Nodding to Yang Shidao, he walked out of the Taiji Hall step by step with the support of the old ghost.
The minister of the full hall watched Li Chengqian's back disappear at the door of the hall with a complicated expression, and then began to walk out in twos and threes.
-----------------
The eldest grandson is in the house.
The eldest grandson, Wuji, was sitting in the back garden drinking tea while listening to the news that the housekeeper reported outside.
When he heard that Li Chengqian sent people to arrest all the monks in Chang'an and take them to Longshouyuan to work as coolies, he also deeply admired Li Chengqian's courage in his heart.
Moreover, Li Chengqian not only used the guards of the East Palace, but also tens of thousands of people to dispatch together, so that Li Chengqian's actions can stand both in the imperial court and in the history books of later generations.
Thinking of meeting a strong and methodical opponent like Li Chengqian, even the eldest grandson Wuji felt that it was very tricky.
Of course, the eldest grandson Wuji is still very confident in defeating Li Chengqian, because no matter what, Li Chengqian is completely evil to Li Shimin, as long as Li Shimin doesn't like Li Chengqian, then he can deal with Li Chengqian at every turn.
When the eldest grandson Wuji was pondering the strategy of dealing with Li Chengqian in the future, suddenly the housekeeper came to report that Yu Zhining, the right concubine, and Cui Dunli, the squire of the military department, came to visit.
When the eldest grandson Wuji heard this, he first looked up at the sun in the sky, and saw that it was past noon, and secretly said that Cui Dunli was not at this time, what was the big deal with the sudden visit of the director of Shangshu Province?
The eldest grandson Wuji met with Yu Zhining and Cui Dunli in the study.
After the three of them met, they sat down, and the eldest grandson Wuji saw that the two of them had a bad face, and knew that something bad must have happened in the Taiji Palace.
The eldest grandson Wuji was puzzled, and glanced at Yu Zhining, who was gray-faced, knowing that Yu Zhining had always been timid and useless.
Therefore, he said directly to Cui Dunli: "At present, Cui Bing's department is busy with official business, how can he have time to visit me, an old man who is idle at home?"
Li Shiji, the secretary of the Ministry of War, is now leading the troops to quell the rebellion in Shandong, so the affairs of the Ministry of War are presided over by Cui Dunli and another squire.
Cui Dunli sighed first and said: "Yu Shuzi and I are also helpless, and we came to see Lord Taibao with the trust of everyone......" As he spoke, he told the eldest grandson Wuji about the affairs of the palace.
The eldest grandson Wuji listened to Cui Dunli's words and was ecstatic, and said secretly: Li Chengqian! It's true that there is a way in heaven that you don't take, and there is no door to hell for you to break into.
The eldest grandson Wuji knew that what Cui Dunli said was entrusted by people, but in fact, there were some people from the Guanzhong family, and the fields and properties of these people were all in Guanzhong. If the imperial court really lowered the tenant rent to 30% as stated in Li Chengqian's recital, these people would suffer the greatest losses, and they would definitely vigorously oppose Li Chengqian's recital this time.
The eldest grandson Wuji looked at Cui Dunli and said, "Cui Bingbu was born in the Boling Cui clan, but he has settled in Guanzhong for three generations, and he wants to come to the family's fields and properties are also in Guanzhong, right?"
Cui Dunli showed an embarrassed look on his face when he heard this, and then said with a wry smile: "Cui Mou is an official in the imperial court to support his family, and it is also appropriate to collect less tenant rent for the family's land, and Cui Mou will go back and let the housekeeper reduce the tenant rent to 30%.
It's just that Cui's relatives all rely on this tenant rent to study, how can they live if they are all reduced to 30%, there are still many people like Cui's relatives in Guanzhong, and the imperial court's decree may cause an uproar. ”
The eldest grandson Wuji nodded and said: "Cui Bingbu is loyal to the country, and he is a model for my generation!" ”
Cui Dunli's face was smug when he heard this, but his mouth said: "Don't dare to be, don't dare to be ......"
Seeing this, the eldest grandson Wuji continued: "Since the Cui Bingbu understands this principle, it is right for His Majesty to explain this matter?"
Cui Dunli showed embarrassment on his face when he heard this, and said secretly in his heart: If I dare to go up, I will still use it to see you? Li Chengqian is the reincarnation of Qin Shi Huang, and he has just cleaned up the Buddhist gate......
The eldest grandson Wuji saw that Cui Dunli's face was embarrassed and speechless for a long time, and he secretly sighed in his heart, a Li Chengqian scared you like this?
But his face was upright: "The sage said: 'If you don't hold on to danger, and if you don't help it, you will use it for the other?'" ’”
This is to educate Cui Dunli in the words of Confucius, which means that as a minister of the imperial court, you see that the imperial court is about to make mistakes, but you can't help the imperial court, what do you want a minister like you to do?
Boling Cui's poems and books are heirlooms, Cui Dunli naturally understood the meaning of the eldest grandson Wuji, and his face suddenly turned ugly when he heard the words.
The eldest grandson Wuji glanced at him, and said with a faint smile: "Cui Bingbu only needs to do it, and there are other things as the old man, although the old man has been thinking about it behind closed doors, he is also loyal to the court in the end." ”
When Cui Dunli heard this, he knew that the eldest grandson Wuji himself was going to end, so he got up and said respectfully: "Everything is arranged by the Taibao." ”
Hearing this, the eldest grandson Wuji nodded with satisfaction and said: "Now you only need to do two things, one is that all the officials of the imperial court have guaranteed that only 30% of the tenant rent will be collected for the family's land this year, but for the sake of the stability of Guanzhong, the imperial court cannot issue an order that all the tenant rents in Guanzhong be reduced to 30%.
In addition, the prince does not do his job all day, so please ask Your Majesty to choose a good teacher again and urge the prince to study hard in the East Palace. ”
Cui Dunli thought for a moment and said: "These are all due meanings, but Your Majesty is also very dissatisfied with the more than sixty percent of the tenant rent. ”
"So you have to make a huge noise, there are hundreds or thousands of officials who support you, all go to the Liangyi Gate and wait, Your Majesty will not leave if you don't want to play......"
"Ahh Will Your Majesty be angry?" Yu Zhining, who had not spoken, was startled when he heard this, he was frightened by Li Chengqian and Li Shimin today.
Hearing this, the eldest grandson Wuji looked at him without saying a word, just looked at Cui Dunli.
After a while, Cui Dunli thought about the powerful relationship, squinted his eyes and nodded: "That's all!" ”
Seeing this, the eldest grandson Wuji got up and said with a smile: "Without further ado, let's go and prepare!" ”
