Also alternate for official positions! you! Wait! Anyway, I'm just using the cold door, and I won't let the officials arrange for your people to come to work.

"Alright, let's get busy!" Li Shimin waved his hand and said to them.

"That...... Your Majesty......" Fang Xuanling looked at Li Shimin and asked with an embarrassed face.

"What's the matter, Aiqing, is there anything wrong with you? Do you still have difficulties in this matter? Li Shimin asked puzzled.

"Your Majesty, that ......" Fang Xuanling looked at Li Shimin with a look of embarrassment.

Li Shimin, who watched it, was a little unhappy: "If you have something to say, you can say it!" ”

Li Shimin snorted coldly.

"Your Majesty, where is the money to buy rice?" Fang Xuanling asked.

"Yes, Your Majesty, there is no money in the treasury now, and there is no money in the queen's mother." Du Ruhui lowered his head and said.

"Yes, Your Majesty, you need money to buy rice, but if you don't have money, what should I do?" The eldest grandson Wuji said.

"Ahem, what about the money in the treasury?" Li Shimin asked puzzled.

"Those who spent money on buying pork, last year's treasury money was used for locust plagues, as well as the renovation of the Emperor's Da'an Palace, and a sum of money was also allocated last year, Li Jing's military expenses for the Eastern Expedition to the Turks this year, dispatched 200,000 troops, 200,000 people's daily food and drink is a large amount, and this year, there are also some states and counties in Jiannan Province that are afraid of a major drought, asking for tax reductions and exemptions, money and grain, and even appropriations for relief, and the Yellow River also needs to repair the embankment, and also need a sum of money, these money and ministers have all been submitted to Your Majesty, Weichen is going to be unable to make ends meet here, and the army comes back from the war, and the taxes after the autumn come up, and the army will be rewarded, as well as the officials' salaries, and the Ministry of Industry will also build water conservancy in various places, please ...... Your Majesty "As the great housekeeper of the Tang Dynasty, Fang Xuanling, who was the left servant of Shangshu, calculated the accounts with Li Shimin one by one.

"Ahem...... Okay, okay, Lao Fang, what are you talking about, of course I can trust you, this time about the money, I will figure it out myself, give me two days. Li Shimin hurriedly interrupted Fang Xuanling and said, he couldn't listen to the matter of money.

He is obviously the emperor and sits on the world, but he seems to be the poorest poor person in the world, he can collect taxes from all over the country, but he has no money at all.

"Okay, Wechen thanked Your Majesty, but Your Majesty, Wechen feels it is necessary to tell you that the queen has no money there, so don't ask her, otherwise the queen will be angry no matter how virtuous and virtuous she is." Fang Xuanling said cautiously.

From the years of Li Shimin's ascension to the throne.

At the beginning, in order to save money and food consumption, a large number of palace maids in the palace bureau and the court were cut, and later the harem reduced expenses, and the eldest grandson queen even warned all the princes and princesses that they should not waste a stitch in the palace, even the princes and princesses, and even her own personal clothes were torn, and she also sewed them by herself.

I have never had any luxury, and the meals I eat are all coarse tea and light rice, and I live a tight life.

Although there is usually a sum of money to be allocated to the inner court as the use of the concubines and princesses and princesses in the palace, but over the years, all the money in the palace has been "borrowed" by Li Shimin and Fang Xuanling under the pretext of the people of the world, so the eldest grandson Huangqi and the concubines and the princes and daughters are also living a tight life.

Otherwise, if there is a little family background in the family, Empress Eldest Sun would have already taken it to Sun Mingyue, and let Sun Mingyue give it to Qin Shou.

"Ahh Li Shimin was shocked, what can I do?

"However, Weichen reminds you that there is a sum of money for the expansion of Da'an Palace in Taishanghuang, and the construction has not started for the time being, because it is now said that in the year of natural disasters, it is not convenient to build a large number of buildings, and this money is in the Taishang Emperor." Fang Xuanling said cautiously.

"Nonsense! You people are my friends and important ministers, so if the Da'an Palace is not expanded and the Emperor Taishang lives in such a place, wouldn't it be unfilial piety to me? How can you make up your mind with that little money? ”

Li Shimin was very unhappy and snorted coldly.

"But Your Majesty, now the situation is urgent, the people are important, the monarch is light, the Emperor will also be considerate of His Majesty, and will also be considerate of the people of the Tang Dynasty, and when this matter is over, let's grit our teeth and get through this difficulty, and then give the Emperor Taishang a good repair, repair better, and buy some of the best things, that is the great filial piety!"

The eldest grandson Wuji said.

"Yes, Your Majesty, the Emperor Taishang entrusts the people of Jiangshan Society to His Majesty, if Your Majesty can let the people live and work in peace and contentment, and care for the people, then it is the greatest filial piety to the Emperor, just borrow it first, we will give interest, and it will not be borrowed in vain."

Fang Xuanling also said.

"Ahem, ahem...... Ahem......"

Li Shimin coughed heavily, looked at a few of them, and asked, "Then which of you is going to tell the Emperor about this?" ”

"Ahem...... Your Majesty, there is nothing in the world that is closer to the father-son relationship, the Emperor Taishang and His Majesty have a deep father-son relationship, only Your Majesty, to speak in person, the Emperor Taishang can agree to this matter, and I and other foreign ministers are not good to ignore His Majesty's family affairs. ”

Du Ruhui also said with a very embarrassed look

Because of the matter of Xuanwumen, several of them are from Li Shimin's side, and now when the Emperor Taishang sees a few of them, he can't wait to kill a few of them at once.

Who of them would dare to go there to see the Emperor!

Isn't that looking for death?

Will the Emperor Taishang let people stew them to boil soup and drink it to prolong their lives?

"I ......" Li Shimin is also embarrassed, because the incident in Xuanwumen has been four years now, and his father ignores him, and he usually doesn't have a good face when he sees him.

He himself also thought that since it was all like this, then it would be good to eat and drink for the old man, and everyone should pass their own way, and the well water would not interfere with the river water! He also saved to look at the old man's face.

He never thought that he would sit on the throne, and there would be a day when he asked for the old man.

"Yes, Your Majesty, it's been so many years, everything should have passed, now it's Zhenguan, how many years ago was the matter of Wudenian, you are your own father and son, and you are also the best and most proud son of the Emperor."

The eldest grandson Wuji persuaded, anyway, as long as you don't let them go, let them talk to Your Majesty as much as they want.

"Your Majesty, what you are doing now is not for your own family, but for the Tang Dynasty, and for so many people in Chang'an City, please think of the people!" Du Ruhui said.

"Now, time is urgent, this plan also needs time to pass, please Your Majesty hurry up, don't hesitate, a little later, Chang'an will be more dangerous." Your Majesty! Fang Xuanling said.
