The good times did not last long, and the tributary trade finally reached the ears of the hundred officials.

When everyone heard that Qin Fan, the Wannian County Commander who was in charge of this time, actually "generously" gave materials worth 100,000 taels of silver to the envoy of the Ryukyu Kingdom, they were all furious.

But at this moment, Namoser has long been gone, and there is no way to recover the materials.

As a result, everyone could only condemn Qin Fan.

A new round of condemnation of Qin Fan began.

The first is naturally the Marquis of Luguo, who has just rested for a month.

"Your Majesty, when the minister heard this, he was shocked and sad. How dare a small Ryukyu country ask for so many gifts in return from my Tang Dynasty?"

When the imperial envoy on the side heard this, he said loudly:

"The Duke of Lu Guo doesn't know, the Ryukyu envoy once said to his subordinates on the way: They are here to ask the Celestial Empire for forgiveness for not sending troops to support at the beginning of the year, so there is no plan to need my Tang Dynasty to return the gift."

"All of this is the proposition of Qin Fan, the commander of Wannian County!"

When Hou Junji heard this, he immediately showed a look of surprise and shock:

"That Qin Fan, a mere seven-grade petty official, dares to be so rampant."

"Could it be that he is the female cadre sent by the Ryukyu Kingdom to my Tang Dynasty?"

Hearing this, the ministers were furious.

If Qin Fan was not a female cadre, why did he give away the goods worth 100,000 yuan?

Isn't this sucking the blood of the Tang Dynasty to nourish foreign people?

The eldest grandson Wuji stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, the minister has checked, Qin Fan is a native of Chang'an, and she has not had any contact with the Ryukyu Kingdom before, so she can't be the female cadre of the Ryukyu Kingdom!"

When Hou Junji heard this, he snorted coldly:

"Whoever can do such a ridiculous thing is either stupid or bad!"

"Since that Qin Fan is not bad, he must be a stupid person! How can such a foolish man rule over one side?"

"Your Majesty, please remove the official position of Qin Fan Wannian County! Elect more talented people."

Hearing this, Li Shimin did not get angry, but asked lightly:

"Since Duke Lu Guo thinks that Qin Fande is not worthy of the position, who can hold this position?"

Hou Junji was overjoyed when he heard this, and His Majesty actually consulted him about the appointment of manpower!

In that case, why not arrange your own people, and when the time comes, it will also be conducive to completely messing up the affairs of the new system!

"The minister thinks that Wang Fu has both ability and political integrity, and has a certain amount of governance experience, so he complements each other in this position."

After Hou Junji finished speaking, the eunuch on the side immediately called up the file that Wang Fu had passed.

Wang Fuguo, a native of Jinyang, Taiyuan County, was born in the Taiyuan Wang family.

Zhenguan served as a county magistrate through filial piety in the fifth year, and then resigned and returned to his hometown because of Ding's mother's worries, and now he is idle at home.

Li Shimin understood.

The Taiyuan royal family is one of the five surnames and seven hopes.

This Wang Fu Guo is the clan of the Taiyuan Wang family, and this official position is also obtained through a relationship.

relied on the back door to only serve as a small county magistrate, and this person's talent can be imagined.

And Hou Junji actually boasted about such a mediocre person.

What's more, Wannian County's reform involving the joint production contract system is bound to conflict with the interests of the family.

At this time, appointing a person from a family to be elected as the county magistrate of Wannian can be imagined!

And with Hou Junji's recommendation, other courtiers also said that Qin Fande was not worthy of the position and should be given to Xian.

For a time, there was an endless stream of voices condemning Qin Fan.

Of course, some officials thought that since Ryukyu had no hope that the Tang Dynasty would return the gift, then Qin Fan's 100,000 taels of silver was a waste.

But now that the Ryukyu envoy has gone far, and the things sent by the Tang Dynasty are not easy to return.

Since this is the case, it is better to let Qin Fan repay the deficit of 100,000 taels of silver.

If they are unable to repay, they will be thrown into prison and punished with a penalty of inflicted punishment.

In the end, the civil and military officials converged into one voice:

"Please Your Majesty punish Qin Fan

Another Mi Liangcai!"

"Please Your Majesty punish Qin Fan, another Mi Liangcai!!"

At this time, Hou Junji saw Fang Xuanling on the side, and suddenly his heart moved.

Fang Xiang hated mediocre people the most in his life, so Qin Fan spent 100,000 taels of silver in the treasury in vain, and Fang Xiang should be extremely disgusted with him.

So he asked:

"Fang Xiang, what do you think about this?"

When Fang Xuanling heard this, his brows furrowed slightly.

This damn "monkey" has to blame me for it.

If it weren't for yesterday's trip, Fang Xuanling would also think that Qin Fan's move was ridiculous and a waste of the taxes and silver that the people of the Tang Dynasty had worked so hard to pay.

But now that he already knows that Qin Fan is planning for the future, how can he say anything unfavorable to him?

With Hou Junji's remarks, all the courtiers looked at Fang Xuanling expectantly.

At present, the atmosphere has been paved to the highest point, just waiting for Fang Xiang to draw a perfect end to this matter.

As long as the house is fixed, then Qin Fan will be finished!

Fang Xuanling cleared his throat and said:

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks it's ......."

It's coming, it's coming! The end of Qin Fan's kid is coming! Hou Junji looked excited.

"The minister thinks that the county order Qin Fan should be rewarded! This move is conducive to the friendship between the Heavenly Empire and the foreign nations!"

"I repay my grievances with virtue, and Ryukyu will be grateful, and from now on I will forever submit to the Tang Dynasty!"

"Qin County Ling only bought such a helper at the price of 100,000 taels of silver, which is really cost-effective!"

"Therefore, the minister thinks that such a clever act deserves to be rewarded!"

Hearing this, the ministers were stunned.

They all set their eyes on Hou Junji.

Lu Guogong, didn't we say that we would get Qin Fan together?

Why did it suddenly become a reward for that kid?

He wasted 100,000 taels of silver, and he could still get a reward!

Hou Junji was also confused.

No, according to his understanding of Fang Xiang, the other party should definitely not speak for Qin Fan!

Instead of reprimanding Qin Fan with them, he excused him with words.

This is outrageous!

Fang Xuanling was also helpless.

Although they understood Qin Fan's layout, it was not easy to tell the ministers.

After all, the maritime trade was too advanced for the ministers to understand.

He can only find a reason to fool around.

Fortunately, His Majesty and himself are on a united front.

Just when the ministers were puzzled, Li Shimin made a final decision.

"Fang Xiang is right! I also think that Qin Fan's actions are beneficial to the country and the people!"

"A mere 100,000 taels of silver in exchange for a permanent ally that will convince him."

"It's worth it!"

"Come on, reward Qin Fan with 100 pieces of silk and 10 boxes of jewels for me!"

"By the way, it's time to change the door of my Heart Cultivation Palace."

"Then tear down the thousand-year-old purple leaf sandalwood door and give it to Qin Fan."

Hearing this, the ministers were puzzled.

You said that you didn't punish him, but you still had to reward this loser.

And it's easy to understand the things in front of you, but what does it mean for Your Majesty to send a door?
