readx; In the East Palace, a clear sound of reading came from the inner hall, and the voice was slightly immature, and it could be heard that a young man was reading. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Zi said: For politics and morality, such as Beichen, live in its place, and the stars are together.

Zi said: There are 300 poems, in a word, he says: "Thinking is innocent." ”

Zi said: Guide the government, all with morality, and the people will be free and shameless. Guide it with virtue, with courtesy, shame and character.

Zi said: I have five out of ten and am determined to learn, thirty and stand, forty and not confused, fifty and know the destiny of heaven, sixty and obedient, seventy and do what I want from the heart.

In a study room full of books, an eleven or twelve-year-old boy was reciting the Analects with his hands behind his back, and across from him, a middle-aged man with a serious expression would frown and look angry as soon as the boy paused slightly, which made the boy quite frightened.

The young man is the current prince, Li Yu's eldest son Li Shi, he was born in the first year of Tianbao, twelve years old this year, the little guy looks quite like his mother Empress Shen, handsome and elegant, extraordinary intelligence, from the time his father ascended the throne, he was canonized as the prince, living in the East Palace to study, usually in the Chongwen Pavilion, there are famous teachers to tutor, there is a group of noble teenagers to accompany the study, but today he did not go to the Chongwen Pavilion, but in his own study to endorse.

The middle-aged man sitting opposite him was not a Confucian who taught him to read, nor was he a eunuch who took care of his daily life, but his grandfather, Li Heng, the emperor of the year.

After Li Heng quarreled with his son because of the difference in strategy in Hexi, he stopped asking about political affairs in a fit of anger, although he only asked about political affairs, but he did not drink tea and hang out like before, cultivating his mind and cultivating his surname, but made friends with important ministers everywhere, or came to the East Palace to supervise his grandson's study, in his angry words, he was dead to his son, and now he pinned all his hopes on his grandson.

"Stop!" Li Heng waved his hand and stopped his grandson's endorsement.

"Do you know what you're carrying?"

"Back to my grandfather, my grandson is reciting the Analects. For Politics"

"Then let me ask you, what is politics?"

The young Li Shi thought for a while and said: "My father said that the people are the government. ”

"Your father is not right, it should be the monarch for the government, the society for the government, if your father really takes the people as the government, will he issue silver coins? He's just talking, in fact, he's still the king, and the people are just in name, do you remember? ”

"My grandson doesn't dare to talk about my father behind my back."

"You dare not say that I dare to say that he is just an unsuccessful son to me, and you must not use him as an example."

As soon as the words fell, there was a coughing sound from behind, and when Li Shi saw it, he was so frightened that he hurriedly bowed down and saluted, "See my father!" ”

Li Heng turned around and saw his son Li Yu appear at the door, he snorted and looked at the corner of the house with his hands behind his back.

Li Yu heard that his father always goes to the East Palace these days, he couldn't help but have some doubts in his heart, so he took advantage of the afternoon to visit the East Palace, but he happened to hear his father teaching his son some bad thoughts, which made Li Yu feel dissatisfied for a while, if Li Heng interfered in politics and snatched the right to recruit soldiers, he could still bear a little, then his father privately taught his grandson this kind of bad rebellion, which made Li Yu unbearable, he must not tolerate anyone instigating and poisoning his son, even his father did not allow it.

Li Yutie walked over with a blushing face and said to his son: "Shi'er, you go back to the dormitory first, I have something to talk to your grandfather." ”

"Yes! The child quits. ”

Li Shixing bowed and retreated, the room was as silent as death, and after a while, Li Yu said coldly: "Father can say anything about me directly, why bother to say something inappropriate in front of Shi'er." ”

Li Heng snorted, "You are the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, I dare to have any dissatisfaction with you, I dare not provoke you, I am just teaching my grandson how to be a monarch in the future, don't let those so-called benevolence and righteousness harm you." ”

"What do you mean by that, father?"

Li Yu said with a cold face: "As the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, shouldn't I advocate benevolence and righteousness, should I abandon courtesy, righteousness and shame, that is a good emperor?" ”

"I didn't say that you don't want to be benevolent, your problem is that you are not benevolent when you should be benevolent, and when you should not be benevolent, you are hypocritical and righteous, and you have mistaken your own major affairs, and you have harmed my grandson."

Li Heng's words were very mean, which made Li Yu's face unbearable, and thinking that he was saying bad things about himself in front of his grandson, the anger finally made Li Yu lose his mind, and his voice became high.

"Please make my father clear, when will I be hypocritical? When did I kill my son? I've been putting up with you, putting up with your criticism of my society, because I'm your son, but do you look like a emperor? Today, you still say that I am hypocritical and benevolent, have you made it clear? ”

"Aren't you? You keep saying that you want to think about the people of the world, but how do you do it? Isn't it false that you are issuing money and plundering the wealth of the people? You have destroyed your reputation as soon as you ascended the throne, and this is the time when you should be righteous, but you are not righteous. And I advise you to take back Hexi directly, reset Hexi Jiedu, and turn your face directly with Li Qingan, but what do you say about throwing a rat trap and using three indiscriminate means to take away his Hexi, do you think he will not use the same means to recapture Hexi? You turned his face with his surname, but he didn't dare to act rashly, this is the time when you are not benevolent, but you have to talk about benevolence and righteousness. ”

The more Li Heng said the more hatred in his heart, he lowered his voice and said: "Also, I asked you to send him back to the West directly, who will doubt you at this time, but what about you?" What kind of love do you want to read about your ancestors and grandchildren, and let him wake up again, what do you do now? If he doesn't remember the love of his ancestors and grandchildren, and doesn't recognize you as an emperor, won't you be dumbfounded? ”

His father's words made Li Yu more and more disgusted the more he listened, and he couldn't help but retort: "He is my grandfather, just like you are my father, can I do that kind of dehumanizing thing?" Please don't say that again. ”

"Humph! There is only one throne, is there any family affection in front of the throne? I think you're getting more and more confused, and you're going to die at his hands sooner or later, so just wait and see! ”

After speaking, Li Heng turned around and left, and when he walked to the door, he heard Li Yu say coldly: "I don't have a father like you, and Shi'er doesn't have a grandfather like you, please don't come to the East Palace in the future." ”

Li Heng was shocked, he walked away without looking back, Li Yu stared at his father's back, he didn't see his father's true face until today, and his heart was full of endless sorrow at this moment.

．．．．．．．．． Li Yu returned to Daming Palace physically and mentally exhausted, at this time it was already dark, and he was just about to return to the palace, but Zhang Zhenying, the great eunuch of the imperial study, came to report, "Your Majesty, Yang Xiangguo and Wu Langzhong urgently asked to see each other, and they have been waiting for a long time." ”

Li Yu then remembered that tomorrow was the day for the issuance of new money, and although he felt very tired, he still cheered up and said, "Go to the imperial study!" ”

The carriage turned the horse's head and headed in the direction of Zichen Pavilion.

Outside the imperial study of Zichen Pavilion, Yang Guozhong and Fifth Qi had been waiting for a long time, an hour ago, Fifth Qi was beaten violently, but fortunately, everyone was dissuaded by the shopkeeper and his buddies, and he was able to escape from the back door of the wine store, despite this, his face was full of bruises, one eye was blue, and his nose was broken, and he was embarrassed.

Escaping from the liquor store, Fifth Qi went directly to Yang Guozhong's mansion, he reported to Yang Guozhong about what happened today, Yang Guozhong also realized the seriousness of the situation, so he immediately took him to Zichen Pavilion to see him.

Fifth Qi sat on a soft pier, his back against the wall, the pain in the back of his neck made him grin, Yang Guozhong reassured him in a low voice, "Fifth Envoy, please rest assured, I have already ordered Jing Zhaoyin to track down the suspect who beat people, I will let the shopkeeper of the wine shop explain, if he can't explain, I will let him take the blame, in short, I will definitely give you an explanation." ”

"Thank you Xiangguo, but this time I didn't expect someone to leak the news, so that the silver coin issuance is facing the threat of failure, Xiangguo, the thief is not removed, the country has no peace!"

"Then who does the Fifth Envoy think leaked the news?"

This is what Yang Guozhong cares about, he doesn't care about the issuance of money, he cares about the power struggle, who can be eliminated by this opportunity, he already has a little idea in his heart.

"Xiaguan thinks that Pei Min is the most suspicious, he has always opposed the issuance of silver coins, I suspect that he leaked it to Li Qing'an, and Li Qing'an began to create rumors."

If it was a few days ago, Yang Guozhong must have agreed with the speculation of the fifth Qi, but after the persuasion of his military advisor Ling Hufei, he had changed his mind, in his eyes, although Li Qing'an was a jackal, but it was far away, and it didn't hurt him much, but Zhang Yun was a poisonous snake, he supported Li Xuan, the king of Shu, and he supported Li Mao, the king of Jing, although the two cooperated, but they were incompatible, if he was not careful, he would be plotted by this person, so although Pei Min made him hate, but Pei Min's existence set aside Zhang Yun, if Pei Min fell, Zhang Yun will make a comeback immediately.

Yang Guozhong pretended to think about it, and said: "I don't think Li Qing'an's surname is very big, we only decided to issue silver coins on the eighth day of the first month at the beginning of the month, and it has only been seven days, even if we use flying pigeons to send a message, with the distance of Anxi, it is too late to come and go, I don't think it should be Pei Min who leaked it." ”

Fifth Qi was stunned, the three most suspicious people, excluding Yang Guozhong and Pei Min, then only Yang Shenyu remained, could it be him?

"What does Xiangguo mean is that it was done by the Yang Mansion?"

"This is just speculation, there is no evidence, and I can't talk nonsense."

Fifth Qi's mind turned, and he suddenly realized that Yang Guozhong was going to use this matter to mess with Zhang Yun, and at this moment, the eunuch shouted in the distance, "Your Majesty has arrived!" ”

Fifth Qi and Yang Guozhong hurriedly stood up, only to see a few lanterns approaching, and Li Yu walked briskly towards this side surrounded by a large group of guards.

"Your Majesty!"

"The two Aiqing are flat, go to the imperial study and talk!"

Li Yu went directly into the imperial study, the light in the imperial study was bright, and the eunuch had already lit a plate of charcoal fire to be extraordinarily warm, Li Yu sat down, he found the strange appearance of the fifth Qi, and said in surprise: "Fifth Aiqing, what's the matter with you?" ”

"Your Majesty, the minister was beaten by a mob of people who opposed the money."

Fifth Qi briefly said what happened in the wine shop, and finally said: "The minister thinks this matter is very strange, this rumor happened to circulate two days before the issuance of the silver coin, which clearly shows that someone is deliberately sabotaging the issuance of the silver coin, Your Majesty, we are still careless." ”

Li Yu didn't speak for a long time, anger gradually appeared on his face, and he slapped the table and scolded: "Who leaked the secret?" If I knew, I would have killed him! ”

At this time, Yang Guozhong bowed down and said: "Your Majesty, there are only six people who know the specific name of issuing silver coins, in addition to the three of us, there are Pei Shilang, Li Hanlin and Yang Mansion Supervisor, although Pei Shilang opposes the issuance of silver coins, but he is a member of the famous Pei family, he will admonish, but he will not plot, the minister thinks it is not him, and it has nothing to do with Anxi Li Qingan, the distance is too far, the time is too late, he is excluded, and there are Li Hanlin and Yang Mansion Supervisor." ”

"Li Mi is my master, he will never betray me, I can trust him."

At this time, the three of them stopped talking, and now only Yang Shenyu, the superintendent of Taifu Temple, was left, could it be him? There are some things that Yang Guozhong doesn't need to say, Li Yu also wants to get it, Yang Shenyu is Yang Shenjin's younger brother and Zhang Yun's henchman, and this time the silver money is issued to recruit troops, to deal with the three kings, and it is related to the interests of Li Jun, the king of Shu, so will Zhang Yun make a move? The answer is already on the horizon.

Li Yu paced back and forth in the imperial study with a gloomy face, for some reason, he always remembered what his father said, 'When you should be benevolent, you are not benevolent, and when you should not be benevolent, you are benevolent,' This sentence is not completely wrong to some extent, he is sometimes too weak, such as Zhang Yun, who knows that he supports the King of Shu and has been secretly opposing him, but he is helpless against him, can he really not move him?

Li Yu glanced at it and saw Yang Guozhong with a face full of hope, he suddenly remembered what Li Yu said, to be good at taking advantage of the contradictions between the various factions of the ministers, this is the art of the emperor, since Yang Guozhong intends to deal with Zhang Yun, why can't he fulfill this person?

Thinking of this, Li Yu said to Yang Guozhong: "Yang Xiangguo, you are solely responsible for the thorough investigation of the leakage case, no matter who is involved in this matter, as long as the evidence is sufficient, I will definitely punish you severely." ”

Yang Guozhong was overjoyed, with Li Yu's words, he could let go and do it, he immediately bowed down and saluted, "The minister obeys the order!" The minister immediately went to find the source of the news. ”

After Yang Guozhong retreated, Li Yu sighed to Fifth Qi: "Fifth Aiqing, now that public opinion is unfavorable to our issuance of silver money, do you have any countermeasures?" ”

"Your Majesty, the minister is still that old saying, first issue silver money, let the people slowly adapt, now the people's fear of silver money is because the first emperor issued silver money improperly, a hundred dollars, this price is set too outrageous, and there are too many imitation of bad money, according to the minister's investigation, if the silver content of the silver money is slightly increased, and then reduce the price, the people will eventually accept, the key is the existence of the Anxi silver dollar, we can't fight for it anyway, as long as it exists, the silver money can not circulate, now His Majesty has done a good job, blocking the source of the Anxi silver dollar, In this way, the Anxi silver dollar will be less and less in the market, because everyone stores it at home, and no one is willing to take it out and use it, so it loses the circulation of money, and becomes a treasure, so the minister is very sure, as long as our second batch of silver coins are put into the market, the Anxi silver dollar will disappear without a trace, and His Majesty will order the abolition of the old silver coin, and allow the exchange of old money for new money, so that there are only two kinds of copper coins and Dali silver coins left on the market, and our silver coins will be successfully issued. ”

Fifth Qi's analysis greatly boosted Li Yu's confidence, he thought for a while and said: "That said, we still have to change our countermeasures in time, we must not be too passive, if we still issue new silver coins tomorrow according to the original plan, I am very worried that there is no money in the market, and we must take immediate action." ”

"What does Your Majesty want to do?"

Li Yu pondered for a moment, and immediately ordered: "Quickly Xuan Changsun Quanxu is here to see me!" ”

The eldest grandson Quanxu is currently the general of the Yulin Army, holding the military power of the 80,000 army loyal to Li Yu, and is one of Li Yu's most trusted ministers.

"Minister, Sun Quanxu, greets Your Majesty!"

"General Changsun, I have something to entrust you."

"Please give an order from Your Majesty, and the minister will never give up."

"Good!" Li Yu nodded and ordered: "You immediately send troops overnight to control all the cabinets in Chang'an and the big shops in the two cities, no matter who is involved in the background, you must control them, in short, they are not allowed to transfer a penny of copper money out." ”

"Obey the order!"

The eldest grandson Quanxu strode away, and at this moment, Li Yu suddenly felt that his heart had hardened, and he finally had a feeling of an emperor.

"Didn't you say that I was not successful, weak and useless? I'm going to show you my thunderbolt tricks tonight! Li Yu muttered to himself.

．．．．．．．．． In the darkness of the night, groups of heavily armed soldiers rushed into the West and East markets, and they broke down the doors of many large shops, drove all the men and shopkeepers who lived in the shops into empty rooms, and sealed their money chests and money cellars with seals, and prevented them from being carried away.

Generally speaking, there are several ways for the imperial court to issue large amounts of money or silver money, one is to forcibly shop, especially to buy grain and other people's vital materials, which will lead to a sharp rise in prices, and then sell the grain at a slightly lower market price, which is called suppressing grain prices, but in fact it is exchanged for hard copper coins, thus pushing the big money to the market, Li Longji did this by issuing silver coins two years ago, resulting in a doubling of grain prices, thanks to last year's bumper grain harvest in Longyou, otherwise grain prices would have risen to the sky.

Another method is to force the exchange of copper money in the concentration of copper money, mainly cabinet and some large shops, because Li Yu ascended the throne not long ago, the use of the method of buying grain will cause food prices to skyrocket, the people's grievances are boiling, and now the price of grain is not low, and then there will be a tragedy of starvation, and even a civil uprising, so he adopted the latter method, from the cabinet to force the exchange, and most of the money in the cabinet is a businessman, so the last loss is the businessman, the ordinary people of Chang'an have little loss, all dynasties, are the first to take the businessman.

Yang's cabinet is the third largest cabinet in Chang'an, is the wife of the country Yang Huahua opened, the new silver money issuance also inevitably hit it, Yang Huahua also heard the news of the issuance of new silver money, the same, her cabinet was also run by the depositor, she has 250,000 yuan in the money bank of the West Market cabinet shop, just two days, the cabinet was withdrawn nearly 150,000 yuan, Yang Huahua panicked, she immediately ordered the cabinet to save money and close the door, on the other hand, she used the evening time to transport away the 100,000 yuan in stock.

Last night, they had already transported away 60,000 yuan, tonight they were going to transport the last 40,000 yuan, the door of the cabinet was closed, the lights in the lobby were dim, more than 30 guys were nervously counting and packing the copper coins, Yang Huahua also rushed to the cabinet to personally supervise, she urged in a low voice from time to time: "Hurry up, don't count, pack the box first, the ship is waiting outside!" ”

At this moment, there was a sudden knock on the door, and a fierce voice was heard, "Open the door quickly, the army will check!" ”
