Chapter Forty-Seven: The Taiji Hall Dispute

Cheng Yanjin first sighed, then shook his head and said: "Hey, this is the duty of the minister, the matter of eating the king, and the matter of loyalty to the king." Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info even if you can't live in Qingyang, there is no way, after all, these things are a little too advanced. ”

"Speaking of which, Qingyang is really a very charlatan person, that's right! If you are good to him, it will be good to you. But in the same way, if you treat him badly, he will remember it in his heart and show it on his face, but he still has to pretend that he doesn't care, looking at you coldly, that feeling, it's really uncomfortable! ”

Li Shimin sneered: "Hehe, although the style is tough, this character is really naΓ―ve enough." I really didn't notice it before. ”

Cheng bit Jin Xin and said, you don't seem to have seen him a few times before!

Li Shimin then said: "But this matter can't completely follow him, after all, it's quite a huge profit!" ”

Cheng Yanjin asked, "Your Majesty, what are you going to do?" ”

Li Shimin thought about it for a while, and said immediately: "Zhijie, let's do this thing!" Although what he said is indeed very reasonable, but those families will not see it, the interests are current, and they in the eyes of the money, even I can't completely stop it, there will always be some sacrifices. ”

Li Shimin immediately called the guards outside: "You go out, spread my message, and urgently recruit the eldest grandson Wuji, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Gao Shilian, Wei Zheng, and Xiao Yu to come to the Taiji Hall to discuss matters!" ”

When the guard wrote it down, he hurried out of the palace to announce the decree.

Cheng Yanjin on the side was stunned for a moment, and then said in a hurry: "Your Majesty, there is no need to convene them to discuss!" After all, this involves Qingyang's industry, Qingyang is no one else, his temper, presumably even if he doesn't do it, he won't cheapen others! After all, he was already very dissatisfied with me because of this kind of thing! ”

Li Shimin waved his hand, interrupted Cheng Yanjin, and said: "Needless to say, Zhijie, this matter involves too much, if you don't call them to find out, what if something happens at that time, these old things, but each one is easy to deal with." ”

After a pause, he continued: "As for Qingyang, could it be that he still wants to rebel without roots. Wait and see. ”

Cheng Yanjin regretted what he had done, but it had come to this point, and he couldn't change anything, so he had to sigh, sit aside and wait.

Not long after, the six of them rushed to the Taiji Palace and met Li Shimin.

Li Shimin asked Cheng Yanjin to tell them about the matter, and then said some of his thoughts.

"Ladies and gentlemen, what do you think about this matter?"

The eldest grandson Wuji immediately asked, "Your Majesty, this new salt-making method is now in the hands of Bailiyun?" ”

Li Shimin nodded: "Yes, according to him, it is part of his family inheritance, after all, he is from overseas, it is not surprising to have these things." ”

The eldest grandson Wuji said: "In this case, you can ask General Baili to hand over the new salt-making technique to Your Majesty, and Your Majesty will give some rewards and hand it over to the imperial court to operate!" ”

Fang Xuanling stopped at the moment: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks it is impossible. ”

Li Shimin said: "Although Aiqing said bluntly, there are no outsiders today, so you can speak freely." ”

After Fang Xuanling thanked Li Shimin, he said, "Your Majesty, what Lord Eldest Sun said is really too child's play. What is the difference between directly asking for someone else's family heirloom and robbership? If I really do this, then where will I have the face of Datang? Won't it make others laugh when it goes out? Moreover, Bailiyun was a close confidant of His Majesty when he did not ascend the throne at the beginning, and he made great contributions. If he is treated like this today, will it not chill the hearts of the subjects who are dedicated to serving the country, and who will dare to serve His Majesty in the future? ”

Li Shimin hesitated a little after hearing this.

Wei Zheng, who was on the side, immediately sarcastically said: "In the past, Cao Cao violated Zhang Xiu's aunt, but Zhang Xiu immediately rebelled. Cao Cao because of his own selfish desires, chilled Zhang Xiu's heart, and the battle of Wancheng caught his nephew Cao Anmin, the eldest son Cao Ang, and even lost the life of the general Dian Wei. ”

"If Your Majesty follows Cao Cao's example today, I don't know who will rebel, Bailiyun? I heard that General Baili has the courage of ten thousand people, and some time ago he killed a man alone in the 100,000-strong army of Jieli. I don't know if General Baili rebels, who can stop it, and how many soldiers will you have to pay to stop it, Your Majesty? After speaking, he looked at the eldest grandson Wuji coldly and shut up.

After listening to it, everyone thought deeply of Wei Zheng's words, especially Cheng Yanjin, he had seen the state of Bailiyun when it erupted, and he couldn't imagine that the force value was high. The eldest grandson Wuji glared at Wei Zheng and scolded secretly, damn Wei Pifu.

Li Shimin was also a little afraid, after all, he had also heard from the later guards that Bai Liyun only used a few moves to subdue General Xue Wanche.

At this time, the good old man Gao Shilian interjected: "Your Majesty, the minister also thinks that there is no need to provoke General Baili's disgust, after all, he didn't do anything too much, we can't take away someone's life just because they are about to make money." ”

Xiao Yu also spoke: "Your Majesty, it is a loss of royal grace to directly offer, it is better to change the method, let the royal family and the court intervene, and obtain a certain amount of high taxes and so on." ”

Li Shimin nodded immediately and said with satisfaction: "Yes, Xiao Aiqing is reasonable, and I don't want to hurt General Baili's heart, after all, he has also made a lot of great contributions to my Tang Dynasty." I wonder how you think it should be distributed? ”

The eldest grandson Wuji was the first to say: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that after the official sale, the royal family will account for 30% of the profits, and the other 20% will be divided among the Guanlong family." In addition, externally, it is regarded as an official salt business, the tax is doubled, and one percent of the profit is used as a tax, and General Baili can have four achievements alone. As for the other industries he developed, the taxes were doubled. ”

Cheng Yanjin hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, this is not appropriate, after all, this is Bailiyun's industry, it is not wrong to let the royal family and the imperial court collect taxes, but there should not be a share of the eight great families, after all, this has nothing to do with them at all, such a distribution, presumably Bailiyun will definitely not agree." ”

The eldest grandson Wuji sneered: "Oh, Zi Fei Yu, I don't know what the fish thinks." General Cheng, how do you know what General Baili thinks. Could it be because you have your share in it, and you are afraid of harming your own interests? ”

Cheng Biting Jin was furious and shouted: "Bullshit, Lao Tzu for his own interests? If Lao Tzu was for the sake of profit, he would not be in this Taiji Hall today, and he would not let you know about this matter, after all, just like Lord Fang said, Qingyang He has not violated any laws, and no one will take him. Lao Tzu can take money and ignore you at all. ”

"Eldest grandson Wuji, I think you have your own ideas, since Your Majesty ascended the throne, you have been close to the clan, and it seems that you are now the leader of the Guanlong nobles!"

The eldest grandson Wuji wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Li Shimin.

"Okay, needless to say, Mowgli, Zhijie is not that kind of person."

The two snorted coldly at each other and stopped talking, and then the others began to discuss, you said that you are reasonable, I said that I have a way, and no one obeys anyone.
