Chapter 926: The arrogant Li Shimin
When Li Xiu rushed to the Liangyi Palace, he saw that Wei Zheng, who was still wrapped in gauze on his head, had come, and not only did he come, but he was also followed by a group of counselors, speaking of the group of counselors, whether it was the emperor or other ministers, they were all loved and feared, because these people would do things in the court from time to time, and they might break out at any time, but they would not work without them, otherwise no one would correct the king's mistakes.
Originally, there were not many people who participated in the small court, but today's situation is special, not only Wei Zheng and their officials came, but as long as the grade was enough, almost all of them came, and many people were very close to Wei Zheng, and they knew without asking that they must be in the same group as Wei Zheng, after all, they did not approve of Li Shimin's approach, which was the same as Li Xiu's opinion.
Before the start of the small court, everyone waited outside the gate of the Liangyi Palace, and could not enter the hall until Li Shimin's summons, but today is also a little strange, the time for the start of the small court meeting has already arrived, but it has not received Li Shimin's summons, which makes many people discuss.
Li Xiu also felt strange, he happened to see the eldest grandson Wuji in the crowd, so he also stepped forward and asked, "Brother Wuji, what's going on today, why hasn't Your Majesty summoned us yet?" ”
"I don't know, but did you hear about the palace yesterday?" The eldest grandson Wuji was also confused at this time, but then asked about another thing.
"Lizhi went to live at my house, do you think I know?" Li Xiu immediately replied helplessly, it is not surprising that the eldest grandson Wuji knows about the quarrel between Li Shimin and the eldest grandson empress, after all, he is a thoughtful person, and it is normal to put eyes and ears in the palace.
"Alas, I'm worried about the queen's body now, I'm really afraid that she will have another accident!" The eldest grandson Wuji also sighed at this time, and then said with a worried expression, his father died early when he was a child, and he could only rely on his mother and sister for his life, so the relationship between him and the eldest grandson queen was also very deep, and the worry at this time was not fake.
Li Xiu also muttered a little in his heart when he heard this, guessing whether it was because of yesterday's quarrel, which caused the condition of Empress Eldest Sun to deteriorate, so Li Shimin didn't have time to come, right? But it's not right, Sun Simiao's illness has always been in charge of Sun Simiao, if there is really anything wrong with her condition, she should receive the news?
At this moment, other people also felt that something was wrong, and saw that Li Xiu and the eldest grandson Wuji were here, so they also stepped forward to inquire about the situation, after all, they were the closest ministers around Li Shimin, but unfortunately the two of them didn't know anything now, which was even more strange, and the discussion was louder for a while.
However, when everyone was discussing why Li Shimin had not summoned them, he suddenly saw an attendant walking out of the hall with the holy decree, and then unfolded the holy decree and read it out: "The system said: The king of Yue is virtuous and talented, and I love him very much, and he is specially given the title of King of Wei, and the governor of Xiangzhou, the governor of Xiangzhou, the military of the seven states of Wei, Li, Wei, Wei, Xing, and Bei, and the remaining officials are the same......"
Li Xiu and the others below were also a little confused about the situation for a while, why did they wait for a long time but only wait for a holy decree? And listening to the content of the holy decree, it seems that he is praising Li Tai, and he has also changed Li Tai's throne from the king of Yue to the more noble king of Wei, and the fief has also increased a lot.
However, when the decree was read at the end, he suddenly heard the attendant pause and then read: "...... A special Yankangfang Wei Wangfu will be given to move in immediately, and the people of Yankangfang will be exempted from rent for one year to show the emperor's grace! ”
Hearing the words of the last reward mansion, Li Xiu and the eldest grandson Wuji finally understood, it turned out that Li Shimin's real purpose was here, and he had rewarded Li Tai with so many things in the front, and finally wronged Wei Zheng and these ministers, and let Li Tai move out of the Wude Palace, of course, the emperor has the face of the emperor, even if he admits defeat, he can't admit it clearly, so there is the nonsense in front.
Of course, Li Xiu also guessed that Li Shimin was not willing to admit his mistake in his heart, so he rewarded Li Tai with so many things, so as to express his dissatisfaction to the ministers, but as long as Li Tai can move out of the Wude Palace, the rest is not important, and no one cares about it.
After reading out the holy decree, the internal transmission directly announced the withdrawal from the court, it seems that Li Shimin is really arrogant, admitting his mistake but not even holding the court meeting, but Wei Zheng and they achieved their goal, and they also showed a victorious smile one by one, as for whether the court meeting can be held or not, they will not care, and they left in twos and threes at the moment.
"Your Majesty~" I saw that the eldest grandson Wuji shook his head helplessly at this time and sighed, but he didn't know what to say after speaking, Li Shimin did something wrong this time, and it was not nice to say, even if he really had any easy storage ideas, he should not show it at this time.
"Your Majesty just corrects it, now you can finally have a safe year!" Li Xiu also smiled at this time, but when he said this, he suddenly thought of Li Chengqian again, and couldn't help frowning at the moment, although Li Shimin withdrew his fate, but after all, the matter had already happened, and I am afraid that this would also leave a shadow in Li Chengqian's heart, which might affect the relationship between their father and son, and even cause other more far-reaching effects, which also made him a little worried.
Li Shimin will definitely not be seen today, Li Xiu will return to the financial supervision to continue to do things, the bank in Luoyang is operating well, Xu Jingzong is even preparing for the auction house in Luoyang, after all, the bank in Luoyang also has a quality warehouse, and the goods pawned every day are not less than those in Chang'an, it is estimated that as long as there is a bank in the future, there will be an auction house.
Because it is approaching the end of the year, there are a lot of things in the bank, one of which is a very special thing, that is, to pay salaries to officials, last time Li Xiu suggested to Li Shimin that all the salaries of officials be changed to copper coins, which saves time and effort, but Li Shimin is worried that the impact is too great, so in the end only a compromise plan was used, that is, all officials can choose voluntarily, they can ask for physical goods as before, and they will only be issued once a year, or they can be changed to copper coins, which will be issued by the bank every month.
At the beginning, because of inertia, few officials were willing to change their salaries to copper money, and only Li Xiu and the officials of the financial supervision took responsibility for their responsibilities and changed to receive salaries from the bank every month, but as time went by, some young officials began to feel that it was more convenient to receive money, after all, they were young people who socialized a lot and spent more at ordinary times.
Now that the Chinese New Year is coming soon, it is also time to pay salaries once a year, it is estimated that many officials feel that it is too troublesome to hire a few big countries to pull things, so the number of officials willing to receive copper money has reached a small peak, which is a great thing, after all, officials have to receive money from the bank, which also represents the expansion of the bank's influence, and it will be much more convenient for the bank to coordinate with other officials in the future.
However, there are more officials who have applied, and Li Xiu has naturally begun to get busy, after all, this is not a trivial matter, the information of each official must be compiled and put into the database, and then stored in the bank's database, speaking of which the most important thing in the entire bank is this database, to put it mildly, if the bank is on fire, even the treasury can not be saved, but the things in this database must be rescued, because it records the information of each customer of the bank, and the loss of one will cause big trouble.
Of course, in order to be foolproof, the general bank has two databases, such as the bank in Chang'an, one database is in the bank, and the other database is in the financial supervision department, and the bank in Chang'an has to make two copies of the updated information every day, one of which is stored in the bank, and the other needs to be transported to the financial supervision for storage.
In this way, even if one of them is damaged, there is also a spare, after all, the possibility of two databases being damaged at the same time is too small, if this happens, then there are only two possibilities, one is that someone deliberately destroys the bank, which will have to trouble Dali Temple, and the other is that the bank is angry and resentful, so God has sent down divine punishment, and in this case, you can only accept your fate.
Li Xiu was busy until it was getting late, then he stretched his waist and stood up, then moved a few times and went out, got into the carriage and went out of the imperial city to go home, and when he went out of the imperial city, it was already bright lights outside, and the nightlife of Chang'an City had just begun, in front of the imperial city gate was a wide square, originally it was not allowed to be approached by idle people, but in recent years, the business of Chang'an City has become more and more prosperous, and the population has become more and more, so Li Shimin specially issued an order to allow the people to do business in the square in front of the imperial city. As a result, it quickly became the liveliest night market in Chang'an City.
Li Xiu also felt a little hungry at this time, although the family kept dinner for him, but it took more than half an hour to walk from the imperial city to his own house, so Li Xiu simply asked people to buy himself a Hu cake, sit in the carriage and eat while walking, and at the same time open the window to enjoy the night view outside.
There are many vendors doing all kinds of small businesses in the square, which also attracts many people, including scholars in long shirts and black hats, there are also gorgeously dressed and walking in groups, there are also famous merchants wearing silk and hair, and even some ladies wearing hats and making people unable to see their appearances, these people form a living picture of life in the Tang Dynasty.
Although Li Xiu liked the picture of life in front of him very much, but he didn't stay long, and when the carriage left the square, he immediately accelerated to the direction of the city gate, although the curfew has been lifted in Chang'an City, but the city gate at night is still stricter than during the day, even if it is a court official, it must be strictly checked.
However, just when Li Xiu's carriage came to the city gate and was about to leave the city, he suddenly found that the city gate in front of him was blocked, and there was a violent quarrel!
