Text 680 Break into the court
"This must be the idea of the queen mother, this matter of building a bank, it is not something that ordinary people can think of, have the courage, ability, and courage to do it, except for the queen mother, I am afraid that there will be no second person who has this courage." As soon as Li Hong returned to the East Palace, Wang Lou put down a letter from the queen, and then ignored Li Hong's greeting behind him, and ran quickly to the palace.
Pei Wanying put the tea on the desk in the study, and then sat down on another chair next to Li Hong, this chair is now her special seat, every time His Royal Highness is in the study of the Lizheng Palace, she sits on the side and waits silently.
"Royal Bank, Royal Central Bank, just two more words, is there such a big difference?" Pei Wanying let Li Hong grab her jade hand in her hand and asked lightly.
"Of course, there is a difference, and the literal meaning of the word central is understood, the queen mother is to be the first, to be the first bank to surpass the Royal Bank, but it's a pity, Bai Chun is waiting for the queen mother to leave." Li Hong shook his head, since the queen mother has decided to do it, this matter is basically finalized, and no one dares to stop it.
What's more, there is her husband, the semi-retired Emperor of the Tang Dynasty is by his side, who dares to provoke the entire Tang Dynasty? Who would dare to refuse?
And with the character of the queen mother, since she wants to do it, then she will never be willing to be the queen, and if she wants to do it, she will be the strongest, no, there are two more words in the middle of the royal bank, which indicates that even if it is the royal bank in the future, it will be dominated by her royal central bank.
But this is all a problem for Li Hong, Long Ma was the first female emperor in history, and now she is just the boss of the world's first bank, so it is not worth making a fuss at all, and worrying about whether Long Ma has done a good job.
As Li Hong guessed, in the following time, after Li Zhi relented on the expansion of Chang'an City, Wu Mei's bank was put on the agenda, and every day in the East Palace, Bai Chun could be seen walking out of the palace with a bitter expression.
A large number of talents were coerced by Wu Mei to leave with the queen's coercion, and a large number of students were also given to Bai Chun by Wu Mei in exchange conditions.
But it is obvious that Bai Chun's competitiveness has been almost weakened by Wu Mei, and it can even be said that the Royal Central Bank established by Wu Mei is completely built with the elite of the Royal Bank in Bai Chun's hands.
But Wu Mei would never pull down her face, and ran to the East Palace to tell Li Hong that now her central bank was going to participate in the expansion of Chang'an City, and she would also occupy the majority of the shares.
Therefore, the first female emperor of the ages sent her first thug, Li Zhi, to negotiate with Li Hong.
But will it really just be negotiations? Will the emperor really sit down with the crown prince to negotiate? Naturally, it won't.
When the court meeting held every seven days was coming to an end, the panicked voices of the ceremonial officials came from outside the Xuanzheng Palace: "The slave maid has seen Your Majesty. ”
"Is the court meeting over?" Li Zhi's voice sounded full of anger, and it didn't sound like the dragon was sick and couldn't go to court.
"Back to Your Majesty, it's not over yet."
"Stand down." Li Zhi waved his big hand and raised his big foot, and then took the eunuch Hua Jimai behind him into the Xuanzheng Palace.
"Let me tell you something, the expansion of Chang'an City, the Ministry of Industry, the Ministry of Households, and the Royal Bank, in the expansion matter, must be led by the Royal Central Bank, the Royal Central Bank, will participate in the expansion of Chang'an City as the largest shareholder." Li Zhi looked at the empty dragon chair, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, who rolled his eyes, and announced to the ministers with his head held high.
When the ministers saw him come in, they didn't have time to salute, so they heard what he said just now, and now when he finished speaking, the ministers were stunned in the Xuanzheng Palace.
Li Hong, who rolled his eyes, had no choice but to step down from the five-step platform and salute Li Zhi first.
Then the ministers who woke up also began to salute Li Zhi in unison.
Li Zhi didn't even pay attention to it, patted Li Hong's shoulder, and then walked to his dragon chair and sat down, looked at the ministers with satisfaction, and said to the prince standing at the bottom: "Do you all remember what I said just now?" ”
In the face of Li Zhi's questioning, they couldn't help but look at Li Hong, as if they wanted to ask for the opinion of the prince who was leading this matter.
"See what he does? Is I the Emperor or is he the Emperor? Have you not listened to my will? Li Zhi patted the armrest of the dragon chair and asked with a blowing beard and glaring.
"The ministers don't dare, and the ministers obey." The courtiers bowed their heads and were silent, looking at their colleagues next to them, no one thought that how could this scene suddenly appear in the court today.
His Majesty, who had not been in the court for a long time, actually broke into the court without saying hello in advance, and then swaggered on the dragon chair and began to make orders, which is not like His Majesty's style of acting.
Moreover, listening to His Majesty's angry voice, and the way the dragon walked and walked like a tiger, what kind of emperor is this like a dragon with a sick body?
"What about the prince, what is your opinion?" Li Zhi was very satisfied with the reaction of the ministers, he hadn't been to the court for a long time, and he felt quite comfortable sitting in this position.
"Erchen has no opinion, what is that...... Scattered, scattered. Li Hong rolled his eyes at the dragon father on the high platform again, and said impatiently to the ceremonial officer.
In the face of Li Hong's order, the official had no idea for a while, this court meeting would have been good, but who would have thought that His Majesty, who had not been to the court for more than half a year, would run in in a hurry and give a message.
Now that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has let the dynasty disperse, should he listen to the prince, or should he listen to His Majesty who just came in?
"Disperse, disperse, since you have understood my will, and you have no opinion, Zhongshu Province and Menxia Province will immediately draft the decree, and then give it to the prince of the prison country for imperial approval, and hand it over to Shangshu Province for implementation." Li Zhi said lightly and in high spirits.
To be honest, even he didn't expect things to go so smoothly, or the queen had a strategy, so that he was unprepared and surprised, so that he could achieve this effect.
If according to his idea, after the dispersal of the dynasty, he will summon the Ministry of Works and the Ministry of Households to the Zichen Palace, I am afraid that Li Hong will have time to prepare.
The courtiers in the hall look at me, I look at you, and finally glanced at the crown prince Li Hong, and then bowed and retired in the middle book and the door, Shangshu and other courtiers bowed first, and walked out of the court in turn.
As soon as the ministers walked out of the court, they were immediately like flies at the door of the Xuanzheng Palace, and the buzzing sound began to come to the Xuanzheng Palace.
Although I don't know what to say, the prince and the emperor in the Xuanzheng Palace generally understand in their hearts that this must be talking about their father and himself who are still in the Xuanzheng Palace.
Li Hong pursed his lips, looked at the dragon father who was sitting on the dragon chair with a successful and triumphant idea, and said helplessly: "Erchen is holding a court meeting, you don't have to say hello and break inside, isn't it a little ......." ”
"What's wrong? Before he became an emperor, he began to set rules for me? If you become emperor, won't you have to drive me out of this palace immediately? Li Zhi had the posture of a black boss, and asked aggressively.
"You...... You know that Erchen didn't mean that, Erchen just said ....... ”
"I'm still the emperor now, what's wrong with coming to the Xuanzheng Palace? I can't come until the pilgrimage is over? Is there such a reason in this world? ”
"You ......." Li Hong laughed disdainfully: "Are you embarrassed to say that there is such a reason in the world!" The world is yours, you are free, you can come as you like, you can go as you wish, but ...... Regarding the interference of the central bank in the expansion of Chang'an City with your mother, it cannot be passed for the time being, and it needs to be discussed after making a demonstration, and after studying with the Ministry of Household and the Ministry of Industry, it can be decided, not that you just have the will. ”
"You mean, I'm not the emperor anymore, right? You have to do what you Li Hong wanted, right? If you don't do it, that's a violation, isn't it? Li Zhi was unforgiving, and he played Laipi in an old-fashioned manner.
In the face of such a dragon father, Li Hong could only shake his head helplessly and said: "You were deceived by the queen mother of Erchen, and the queen mother is using your ......." ”
"Why did this palace deceive your father? Okay, now the prince has learned to sow discord. ”
Before Li Hong finished speaking, he was interrupted by the familiar voice of Long Ma behind him.
You don't have to look back, you know that these two people have surrounded themselves one after the other, and looking at the momentum of these two breaths like rainbows and aggressive appearances, you know that today's events have no choice but whether you agree or not.
Looking at the feather duster in the hand of the dragon mother, who had not been seen for many days, Li Hong couldn't help but shudder in his heart, how many years has this feather duster, the feathers on it are still bright as new, and there is no reduction at all!
It's just that the handle has been grabbed by Wu Mei for many years, and the wooden handle is already shiny, as if it has been wrapped in a layer of pulp.
wanted to complain about the dragon mother and be upset for Bai Chunming, but looking at Wu Mei's look of trying it, Li Hong had no choice but to swallow back the words that came to his mouth with interest, he knew that once he dared to complain for Bai Chunming, Long Ma would definitely impose conditions on himself.
"The Ministry of Household and the Ministry of Industry each occupy three cities, the Royal Bank and the Royal Central Bank each account for one and a half percent, and the remaining one percent is divided equally between Bai Chun and Aunt Lanling and others. Li Hong faced the dragon father and the dragon mother, and said helplessly with his hands outstretched.
"My Royal Central Bank has no liquidity for the time being, only the so-called reserve gold, so the matter of the Imperial Palace's request to supervise the production of copper coins will be handed over to the Central Bank in the future, and the Royal Bank will be responsible for that...... What is it called? ”
"Issuance and circulation into the market." Li Hong faced the smiling and picturesque Dragon Mother, and said in a deep voice with an ugly face.
"Well, that's what it means."
"Convinced, the old have support, the old have something to rely on, you are really ...... It's used to the extreme, this guy, the queen mother, it's better for you to return the household, do you think it's okay? Li Hong's face twitched, looking at the smile in Wu Mei's eyes, and found that he was being teased by the queen mother, I am afraid that the queen mother did not mean that at all.
