Chastity Layman

Chapter 266

The court meeting the next day.

It is rare for Tongping Zhangshi Qin Qiong to attend the court, but he was asked to go out at the meeting.

"Recently, I heard that Shuofang's Liang divisions are ready to move again. The border of Lingwu is not peaceful. The governor of Yanzhou was ambushed and seriously injured while patrolling the border. Please go out and serve as the governor of Yanzhou."

Qin Qiong was firm.

Li Shimin didn't expect this, Qin Qiong should have brought this kind of matter directly to the emperor, or brought it up in the political affairs hall or court meeting, but now he raised it directly in the court meeting, which caught him off guard.

The emperor was unwilling to let him leave Beijing, because Qin Qiong was his most trusted general, brave and loyal, and Li Shimin was relieved that he would serve as Minister of the Ministry of War in Beijing.

But Qin Qiong was still determined.

After his son's unexpected appointment as prime minister, the appearance of father and son paying homage together did not make Qin Qiong proud, but made him always restless.

He always believed that he was just a mere military general, and that he had already reached the end of being a general of the Twelve Guards. He was really incapable of being a prime minister, let alone his son.

Yanzhou Inspector was attacked and injured, it was just a small episode, and Liang Shidu is now unable to launch any large-scale invasion of Datang, because after the Weiqiao alliance, the current relationship between Datang and Turkic Jieli is still reluctant. None have the will to fight.

So Liang Shidu, a Turkic dog, can't cause any trouble even if he barks.

That governor can only be regarded as unlucky, it was an accident, he was actually a general of Liang Shidu before, and later he surrendered to Datang, so Datang directly appointed him as governor of Yanzhou, still brought his own soldiers, managed His original territory was just to deal with the former master in reverse.

This time he was injured, it must be Liang Shidu's targeted revenge. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a personal grievance, anyway, Yanzhou is not lost.

In this case, it is normal for the court to transfer another general to the past. This is still a good thing, and it can further control Yanzhou in the hands of the court.

There are so many generals in the Tang Dynasty that there are many generals in the Twelve Guards Yamen who sit drinking tea and chatting all day long, and it is enough to draw a random lottery.

Why bother Qin Qiong, who is now the number one in the military?

Li Shimin could naturally see that Qin Qiong wanted to avoid the situation where father and son were in the same palace.

"Duke Qi, the capital of Liang Shidu, is just a clown. Don't worry, the governor of Yanzhou is injured, so he will be taken back to the court to recuperate, and another general will be transferred there."

However, Qin Qiong held the jade wat and said that he was willing to go in person. He also said that since the imperial court planned to destroy Liang in three years, a general was needed to coordinate the strategy and make comprehensive preparations.

Anyway, after talking so much, what Qin Qiong means is that I can't stay in the capital anymore.

Seeing that his attitude was firm, Li Shimin had no room to refuse.

After thinking about it, he finally agreed. Qin Lang had just paid homage to the Prime Minister, and he was going to use him to show his strength.

The emperor granted Qin Qiong the governor of Lingzhou, the governor of the military affairs of Fengxia states in Lingyan, and the governor of Lingzhou.

Because Fengzhou is now in the hands of Yusheshe, and Xiazhou is in the hands of Liang Shidu, so in fact it is the second state of Dudu Lingyan. However, Qin Qiong was the prime minister after all, so Li Shimin not only did not remove Qin Qiong from the title of Ping Zhang Shi, but also added him the title of envoy of Guannei Dao Jinglue.

The prime minister goes out of the town as an envoy, for the envoy.

The post of minister of the Ministry of War was dismissed, and Li Shimin thought about it, and finally decided to grant Hou Junji, the general of the right guard, as minister of the Ministry of war.

The post of Minister of the Ministry of War has always been handed over to the old Ministry of Qiandi, who is the most reassuring.

After the court meeting, the emperor summoned the prime ministers and ministers to hold a meeting of the Liangyi Palace.

Qin Qiong didn't come to participate.

It was the first time for Qin Lang to participate in the court meeting as a prime minister. Sitting in the palace with a purple robe and a jade belt with a goldfish amulet, he felt different.

Monarchs sit down.

The atmosphere immediately starts to change.

Qin Lang looked around at these bigwigs, and it was obvious that although Wang Gui and others failed to stop Qin Lang's announcement yesterday, they didn't really give up today.

They seem to have already reached an agreement that they will make a big move today, and they all hold back their energy.

"Today's court meeting, let's discuss the financial expenditure plan for this year. Huailiang told me that ordinary people's homes will also make plans a year ago, and plan for next year's expenditure in advance, so as to make it easier to spend. Originally, we did it last year. I have to make a budget for this year's financial expenditure, but I didn't do it last year because of troubles, so let's do it now."

Li Shimin started the meeting by setting the tone for today's meeting. Today, there is no discussion of personnel or military affairs, only the financial budget.

"Huailiang, you are in charge of the state affairs now, so let me give you some advice first!"

"A year's plan lies in the spring, and the country should live within its means. It can't live foolishly and spend foolishly. Things should be prioritized first, and the country's wealth should also be based on this."

"Make a budget in advance, and then audit, so that you can know what you know and spend the money wisely."

Li Shimin agreed with this statement, "It makes sense, let's continue."

"I believe that the imperial government should divide the expenditure budget into two parts. One is regular expenditures, such as palace expenditures, official salaries, military expenditures, etc., and the other is special expenditures, such as water conservancy maintenance, disaster relief and famine preparations, or war expenses, etc. ·······"

"This year's estimated income is mainly from rental income. Based on previous years, the rental income is about 2.4 million shi, and the silk tuning is about 600,000 horses..."

Wang Gui interrupted Qin Lang with a loud voice, "How can there be any income from rent transfers this year? Last year, there was a severe drought and locusts, and there was a military disaster. The imperial court has already exempted the rent transfers of the people in the northern region. The locusts were exchanged for food, the imperial court received a lot of locusts from the common people, but there was not so much food to exchange for, most of them were IOUs, it was agreed at the beginning that it could be discounted for rent transfers.”

According to Wang Gui, it is impossible for the imperial court to have any income this year.

Qin Lang ignored him.

"The imperial court still has a large amount of expected income this year. It is the elimination of Buddhism and Taoism, the elimination of temples and temples in various states in the world, and the recovery of the land of temples and temples. It is estimated that it can earn about 14 to 5 million yuan..."

"Shut up, Shu Zi only knows how to steal and plunder. It's called Sha Tai Monk Taoism. It's actually destroying Buddhism and suppressing Taoism. Before Qin Lang promoted it in Chang'an, he had already caused a lot of anger. Forbidding the Buddha in the temple, this is breaking the promise, going back on the promise, disregarding the credit of the imperial court..."

Wang Gui spat out a series of saliva, scolding Qin Lang badly, and directly said that Qin Lang was a robber, a liar, and so on.

Qin Lang was the prime minister of Gang Baima Xuanxiang, and he was speaking again, but Wang Gui repeatedly interrupted him rudely, and even scolded Qin Lang, Zhuzi, etc., which was really too rude.

How can it look like a half-named nobleman came out to be a prime minister?

Wang Gui sprayed for a long time, then turned to the emperor, "Your Majesty, please stop destroying Buddhas and Taoism immediately, and you can't go on like this. Also, last year Youzhou was named after the war, and Qin Lang enforced the border market in the Northland." The policy should also be stopped immediately."

He was playing tricks on putting a big hat on, but in the final analysis he still wanted to oppose Qin Lang's New Deal.

Li Shimin held back his anger.

Unexpectedly, Feng Deyi could not calm down these guys.

Wei Zheng hastened to keep up, and also used his ability to spray.

Li Shimin took a look, well, today's court meeting cannot be held.

Nima has these guys who want to oppose with all their heart, just for the sake of rebellion, it doesn't make sense at all, this will be a fart.

"Prince Xianggong, stay here to summon the right, and the rest of the princes, please go back."

Li Shimin left Wang Gui alone.

End of the meeting.

Qin Lang followed Changsun Wuji and others out.

"This matter seems to be repeated!"

"Don't worry, we will kick anyone who gets in the way." Changsun Wuji looked very calm.

Qin Lang was startled, could it be that Li Shimin left Wang Gui to attack this one too? But why keep him, what kind of operation is this?

As a result, Qin Lang heard the news that night.

Wang Gui, who participated in politics, was dismissed as a prime minister because he leaked the forbidden Chinese language, and was relegated to the governor of Tongzhou.

Qin Lang, who was roasting chicken wings in the courtyard, still refused to believe the news that Ah Huang came to tell.

"Where did you hear that?"

"The news sent by the eldest grandson."

Wang Gui was tricked, and Li Shimin tricked him. He kept Wang Gui saying it was a secret to discuss, but the secret that the emperor had discussed with Wang Gui was spread everywhere that day, and the emperor used this to convict Wang Gui of revealing the forbidden Chinese language. But for a felony, beheading is generally considered a minor crime.

The emperor only dismissed his prime minister and demoted him to be the governor of Tongzhou, which of course was to save face.

The decree of dismissing the prime minister was drafted by Cen Wenwen, a scholar of the Imperial Academy, and it was also white hemp.

"Could it be that the emperor plotted against Wang Gui?"

Unexpectedly, Li Shimin also made such a bad move.

But after going to court the next day, Qin Lang realized that Li Shimin had been wronged, because Li Shimin's stay with Wang Gui yesterday was actually to persuade him to put the overall situation first and not to oppose the New Deal everywhere. The emperor personally persuaded Wang Gui.

Then, Wang Gui talked about it with his brothers and sons that night, and didn't tell outsiders, just a few people in the family behind closed doors.

The problem was caused by Wang Jiayou's secret support department, who secretly reported the news, and then Li Shimin knew it right away. Li Shimin was very annoyed, I personally persuaded you and you didn't give face, but you still talked about it with your brothers and nephews?

Since you don't know what's interesting, don't blame me for being rude.

Ever since, Li Shimin directly dismissed Wang Gui from Beijing for the crime of leaking the forbidden Chinese language.

This operation is also a batch of coquettish.

But it is true that Wang Gui was not wronged. This forbidden Chinese language is a confidential conversation between the emperor and the ministers. How can you tell the third person to listen?

It doesn't matter whether you tell your brother or your son, it's a sin to say it.

So Wang Gui, the baron of Yongning County, was demoted from being a political advisor and a servant of the Huangmen to the governor of Tongzhou. The servant of the Huangmen died after only two days, which was also a record.

All in all, it's a tough fight.

The emperor and the prime minister have already reached the point where they are fighting each other, and Li Shimin is really impatient.

Early morning again.

The atmosphere in the hall was very different again. The anti-reformists were originally united as one, but after Feng Deyi and Wang Gui both fell, there was obviously a division. Some people were afraid and retreated. Some people are still persisting, but their momentum is no longer what it was yesterday.
