As soon as Wei Zheng said these words, the faces of all the officials from the aristocratic families turned red and their voices became angry.
On the other side, Lu Zhengshu, the young minister of Dali Temple, looked angrily and retorted directly.
"Hmph, Doctor Wei is a man who doesn't know right from wrong. We weigh the pros and cons for the people and the country, and heaven and earth can learn from it! When it comes to Doctor Wei, you say that you are having sex with the enemy. Today, you, Wei Zheng, are insulting our innocence!" We will not give up until we are given an explanation!"
Looking like that, those who didn't know thought there was a life-and-death feud between the two.
At this time, Wei Zheng was standing upright, not squinting, and did not even bother to pay attention to this group of well-dressed civil servants from aristocratic families.
He stood straight towards Li Shimin, clasped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, opening a market and relaxing the control of salt and iron is almost the same as raising tigers. This is definitely not feasible!"
Under the different opinions of those who agree and those who oppose, the attitudes of several major families naturally stand on the same front.
The ministers of the Zheng family, Cui family, Wang family and other Guanlong families naturally believed that the benefits of opening the market outweighed the disadvantages. They even claimed that the same benefits as the Tang Dynasty would increase the revenue of the treasury.
But why?
Of course, they are all complicated and complicated. The families behind these people have huge transactions with Tubo and Tuyuhun every year.
The foundation of every family is like that of the girl from Pingkangfang. They are indispensable for self-interested activities, and they also have the aloofness of being a low-income family.
A century-old family, a place of cultural prosperity, how famous is it?
But only the people in the Tai Chi Palace can have some idea of the secret behind it.
At this time, Wei Zheng just turned around slowly, looked at the officials from aristocratic families who looked angry, and looked like they were serving the country and the people, and sneered, and the sarcastic voice suddenly spread throughout the hall.
"Why do you need to speak so much? You actually know what is hidden in it! The amount of salt and iron smuggled every year is already a sky-high price. If you are allowed to pursue your own selfish interests, you will still be under the guise of serving the country and the people. In the name of the Tang Dynasty, why do we need to make enemies of other countries and perish ourselves?"
"I, Wei Zheng, am ashamed to serve as an official in the same court as you and other ungrateful rats!"
Those words were filled with joy and a bit of despair, and the sound lingered in the air, and everyone in the palace could hear it...
hiss!
That bitch Wei Zheng really dares to say anything!
Just these words directly frightened all the civil servants of the aristocratic family to the point of trembling with fear.
Some things that are done in the dark are naturally tacit and stereotyped. Once they are brought to the surface, it is a big taboo!
Is this Wei Zheng trying to make enemies of several people with his own efforts, so as not to die in old age? !
This Wei Zheng is really tough to the extreme!
He even scolded her directly without even bothering to hide it!
Although everyone was scolding Wei Zheng in their hearts, the words on the surface must be dealt with immediately.
The so-called ruthless people are afraid of being stunned, and the stunned people are afraid of losing their lives. This is the Tai Chi Palace, otherwise the people in the world will be caught and talked about!
On the dragon chair, Li Shimin, who was dressed in a dragon robe as bright as gold, seemed to be concentrating with a cold expression.
Looking at Wei Zheng who was already killing him like crazy, he almost laughed out loud in his heart.
I have never felt that this farmhouse man was so powerful and domineering, and even a little amiable.
This mouth is really powerful!
Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui and others couldn't help but worry flashed across their faces. Is this Wei Laodao willing to die?
You must know that the counterattack of several centuries-old families will be the most powerful force in the world today!
Even His Majesty himself had to retreat!
Or should we say that Wei Laodao has received orders from His Majesty...
"Wei Zheng, you are so brave! You have insulted our character. If you don't give me an explanation today, your reputation will be ruined today!"
"Wei Zheng is so bold that he speaks nonsense in the Taiji Palace. How can he not care about the justice of the world!"
"Wei Zheng! I will never allow you to be so cruel and humiliating in this palace!"
"Wei Zheng..."
Wei Zheng's
The words were like a stone falling on the lake, setting off a shock wave. People in official robes stood up one after another, facing Wei Zheng with fierce voices.
If we don’t explain this matter clearly today, we will never give up easily!
This Wei Zheng is so cruel!
In addition to those who criticized him verbally, there were even people who directly came up to pull Wei Zheng. It was very likely that he had to give an explanation!
The whole court suddenly became a mess.
At this time, Cheng Yaojin, who was watching the excitement beside him, stepped forward directly and his body shook!
In a moment, he stood in front of Wei Zheng.
One with each hand, he reached out and pushed horizontally, directly pushing away the family officials who were about to surround Wei Zheng!
Pushing, throwing, and shouting at the same time.
"One by one, you are going to take action if you can't say anything? How can I, Old Cheng, let you act so cruelly in front of me?"
That posture is so courageous that one man can stand in front of ten thousand men.
And all the civil servants and nobles were pushed and thrown around by Cheng Yaojin.
Another one was pushed directly to the ground and was stepped on by the crowd.
Suddenly, there was a stream of angry curses and verbal abuses.
And Cheng Yaojin is such a thick-skinned guy. Now that Brother Qin and the others are on an expedition to Mobei, most of the generals in the court are headed by him.
It was time to earn some respect as a military commander. He put his hands on his hips and glared, pointing at the civil servant clans and shouting angrily.
"If you want to take action, come on, I, Old Cheng, am still afraid of you, come on, let's challenge each other!"
Everyone was speechless. With Cheng Yaojin making such a shameless fuss, the chaos that had just been caused was much smaller.
Even the word shameless is not enough to criticize this guy.
How shameless must one be to say such a thing?
You, a top military general, are going to challenge a group of scholars, and the key is a lot of old men. This shameless state is something that few people in the Tang Dynasty can match!
However, they did not expect that one day, the biggest gangsters and trolls would stand together in the court. Who could break the so-called "one civil and one military"?
"quiet!"
Snapped!
The guard on duty behind Li Shimin shouted fiercely and held the palace whip of silence!
The chaos in the palace had just returned to calm.
Li Shimin glanced at Cheng Yaojin who was still playing tricks, passed him by, and shouted coldly, showing great power!
"Above the main hall, what kind of place is this? If you are involved, why don't you let me find an open space for you to draw?!"
After Li Shimin got angry, the people above the hall calmed down a little.
Only Cheng Yaojin put on a shy face, puffed out his chest and belly and said, "Your Majesty, it's just right. It's best to find a spacious place. I think your Majesty's Yuqing Palace is pretty good. I'm going to argue with such a rude person who just takes action without saying anything." Gesture!"
Li Shimin and his ministers:...
It’s really fresh and fresh——
In the Tang Dynasty, there was still a time when you, Cheng Yaojin, scolded others for being rude?
Forget it, this bastard couldn't stop talking anymore. Even if he cursed a few times, he would probably feel proud of it.
Li Shimin glanced coldly, speechless in his heart.
"Cheng Zhijie, please step aside, or I will reward you with thirty big boards!"
With Li Shimin's words, Cheng Yaojin stopped and smiled sadly.
However, they never backed away from Wei Zheng. The old man and the strong man actually stood directly together.
It is unheard of that this number one gangster in the Tang Dynasty would not hesitate to share the same hatred with the number one troll in the Tang Dynasty...
"Your Majesty, this Wei Zheng is spitting blood, this Cheng is rude and disrespectful, I want to wait for him!"
"I second the proposal!"
"I second the proposal!"
As soon as it became quiet, there was a continuous stream of condemnation.
Wei Zheng glanced at Cheng Yaojin, who was acting as a "bodyguard" beside him, and for the first time he looked down less on Cheng Hanzi.
He had to bear this feeling.
At worst, we'll just have to deal with him someday.
Wei Zheng took a long step forward and stepped forward.
"Your Majesty, the biggest selfish issue in liberalizing the control of salt and iron is smuggling! Sir, I implore your Majesty to thoroughly investigate all the salt and iron trading houses in the Tang Dynasty. I also implore your Majesty to investigate who is colluding with the government and businessmen! What a fool!"
"Your Majesty Wei Zheng, for those who are willing to carry out this commandment, there is no need to fight over who is calling the thief, catch the thief, you can find out after one check!"
After saying that, Wei Zheng snorted coldly and glanced at everyone.
All the clan officials were shocked and shocked. What on earth did Wei Zheng do today?
He is worthy of being the number one leader in the Tang Dynasty!
This Wei Xuancheng, this Wei troll, is indeed an unreasonable old lunatic!
This is to drag everyone to perish together. His intention is so evil!
It is said that one's own affairs must be kept clean. After this investigation, not to mention the dark background being made public, many people's official uniforms and even the heads of the little boys had to be put in other places.
"Hahahaha, Lao Wei is right, Your Majesty, Lao Cheng both know, whether it is black or white, you will know if you open it and take a look!"
Cheng Yaojin on the other side hurriedly offered help under the disgusted eyes of all the civil servants.
Anyway, I will go on an expedition in a few days. Out of sight, out of mind, it would be nice to leave a big show for you!
It was only now that Li Shimin stood up and walked straight down from the imperial platform. He glanced at the ministers and could not help but reveal an imperceptible sneer on his lips.
"Wei Aiqing and all my dear friends are my humerus. I have never doubted your character and integrity. But the reputation of all of you is pure and pure and cannot be insulted..."
Upon hearing this, countless civil servants suddenly noticed something was wrong, and couldn't help but feel an ominous omen.
Those who still thought about standing up and continuing their fight with Wei Zhengcheng could not help but secretly retract their steps.
Looking back on what happened since the early dynasty, could this be a good show directed and performed by His Majesty? !
"Dai Shangshu!"
"I'm here!"
Dai Zhou stood up immediately, knowing that His Majesty was about to take action.
"I know that you have several people under your command who have learned some accounting techniques from Gao Ming. For this matter, you will work with the Third Division to investigate all the salt and iron merchants in Datang. Wei Zheng, as the associate historian, will jointly investigate and handle this matter! You must not insult me. These love your character and reputation!"
"Besides, if there are no differences, Wei Xuancheng! Don't say that your dear friends will not forgive you for your frivolous fault, I still have to give you a slight punishment!"
Li Shimin said these words "full of righteous indignation" to Wei Zheng "coldly".
Wei Zheng's voice and expression were immediately sharp, his face and words were straight, and he bowed and saluted without squinting.
"I thank you for your majesty's clear investigation! If it is unselfish, I would like to resign from my hometown and apologize for my frivolous words today!"
Many people immediately turned pale and looked around in shock.
Suddenly there were bursts of low noises.
And the leading figures from the aristocratic families in the main hall should be Zheng Yunhe, Cui Yunji, Wang Duan and others...
Zheng Yunhe's eyes dropped coldly, and he looked at Li Shimin in surprise and shock.
Not only Zheng Yunhe, why not Cui Yunji, Wang Duan and others!
Immediately, his heart froze and his eyes sank.
Your Majesty, are you going to take action against the aristocratic family?
Now that the entire Tang Dynasty was attacking the Turks, and faced with internal and external troubles, how could he, Li Shimin, have the confidence to directly undermine the foundations of several great families?
Is it this Wei Zheng who doesn't want his life?
Or is he, Li Shimin, ready to break up the relationship directly?
What does it mean? They can't help but think deeply about it?
The aristocratic family and the royal family acquiesce to the old-fashioned balance. Is he, Li Shimin, going to be the first to do so?
When the whole hall was buzzing with excitement, Cheng Yaojin glanced around with his chest raised and his belly folded.
There’s something good to watch~
After Li Shimin raised his voice, he waved his sleeves and spoke directly without any objection from the ministers.
"Okay, let's leave the matter of salt and iron aside for the time being. I have already made a plan! I will wait until the matter of salt and iron smuggling will be resolved in the Ming and Qing Dynasties.
After you understand a few things, then make plans! "
Just when Zheng Yunhe and several heads of aristocratic families could not help but speak out, at this time...
Outside the palace.
"Your Majesty, the envoys from Tubo and Tuyuhun are here to see you!"
At this time, a notification came directly from the censor on duty.
Li Shimin frowned and waved his hand: "Xuan!"
Then he sat on the dragon throne again.
"Xuan, the envoy from Tubo and Tuyuhun is here to see you!"
The propaganda sound reached outside the hall and was full of energy.
Not carved.
Two envoys from outside the customs wearing non-Tang Dynasty costumes came to the hall.
One person is wearing a robe with a large triangular lapel, a hood covering the top, and round ornaments or buttons on the collar edge. The collar opening reveals a little of the front of the clothes underneath.
On the other hand, the other person is wearing underwear that is obviously left-folded. The robe is long and slender, and both have a belt. The sleeves are longer than the hands, and the cuffs are inlaid with colorful brocade.
Tubo and Tuyuhun are neighboring countries, and their customs and habits are quite similar. From the differences in clothing, we can see that they have many similarities.
However, in Li Shimin's eyes, it was indeed a sign of being a woman in embarrassment.
"The envoy of Tubo (Tuyuhun), Chabil (Zales), meets His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty!"
"Get flat—"
Li Shimin was so powerful that he wanted to drag these two envoys out to have their skin and bones removed.
But between countries, even if things get a bit dark, they still have to take care of face.
As for the Tubo envoy, he was extremely respectful. Although he dared to say something unflattering while taking advantage of the situation, he was still following orders.
He directly stepped forward and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, I have understood your Majesty's wishes. Please accept your Majesty's approval. I am even more interested in marrying the Qin and Jin Dynasties with the Tang Dynasty!"
This time, the princess seeking to marry was mainly a Tibetan princess.
Nowadays, there is no royal legitimate son in Tuyuhun who is suitable for marriage. How can the rest of them be qualified to marry the Princess of Tang Dynasty?
It doesn't make sense on the surface, and Tuyuhun doesn't have the confidence to do so.
But Tubo is different. The current leader of Tubo is Songtsan Gampo. He is the 33rd generation Zampu of the Tubo Dynasty. He unified the plains of Lingxi and his royal power is stable.
Songtsen Gampo was in his thirteenth year. He directly suppressed the Tibetan rebellion and ascended to the throne of the king. He was so called a young hero!
Now, it is time for Tubo to establish an alliance in order to support the young Zanpu and promote Tubo.
A cabinet minister who acted by chance proposed to take advantage of this opportunity to propose marriage to the Tang Dynasty.
Given the current situation in the Tang Dynasty, they should definitely not refuse.
