The First Young Master of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 1306
Perhaps when Li Yuan established the Tang Dynasty, these people more or less contributed, but Li Yuan also distributed all those who should be entrusted. With a reputation, those who are capable become officials, and rely on their own ability to be princes. , Although the incompetent was not an official in the court, Li Yuan still gave him a title, promised prosperity and wealth, and the state government supported these relatives.

In the generation of His Majesty Li Er, the state government supports these people who are useless to the court. I don’t ask you to be grateful to the state government, but at least don’t jump out to make trouble.

The construction of the new palace on the Longshouyuan, such a big matter, has to jump out and get involved, stumbling the court, indirectly hindering the construction of the new palace, and disrupting the entire market in Chang'an City. I really don't know what to say about them It is better to be greedy for profit or not to know the importance.

Or, both.

These merchants in Chang'an City put up notices, and many people couldn't sit still, and chose to enter the palace to inquire about the news.

Now that we have met, let's go to meet His Majesty together.

At this moment, His Majesty Li Er was still dealing with political affairs in the Ganlu Palace, and the little yellow gate outside came in to report that these clan nobles had entered the palace to seek an audience. His Majesty Li Er naturally thought of what they came for.

"Let them wait outside for the time being, just say that I have important matters to deal with, and I will call them later." His Majesty Li Er ordered.

"Yes." After Xiao Huangmen responded, he exited the Ganlu Palace.

After Xiao Huangmen withdrew, His Majesty Li Er smiled and said: "You came quickly. Jing'er came back from me two days ago and said that I would start to rectify these people. As a result, these people entered the palace today. Come to me to find out the news."

"Your Majesty intends to leave them alone and dampen their spirit?" Deyi asked in a low voice.

"Come to see me in the palace with such aggressiveness." His Majesty Li Er said, "Let them calm down outside first."

After His Majesty Li Er finished speaking, the entire Manna Palace fell silent again, only the voice of His Majesty Li Er reading the memorial was left.

It's just that those people outside seemed to have no patience, and kept asking the little yellow gate guarding the outside.

"When will His Majesty summon me?"

Although these people have no official status, they are all honorable, and the Xiaohuangmen dare not offend them, but His Majesty has ordered them not to be summoned for the time being, so the Xiaohuangmen has no choice but to keep comforting these people.

"Gentlemen, please be safe and don't be impatient. Your Majesty is dealing with important matters in the palace. After finishing the matter, he will naturally meet with you. You should wait here for a while."

People came one after another and asked questions one after another, but Xiao Huangmen could only patiently answer over and over again, all of which were just such rhetoric.

After waiting outside for more than half an hour, finally, Deyi came out from the hall.

Deyi is the personal eunuch next to His Majesty Li Er, with an unusual status. When these people saw Deyi coming out, their attitudes suddenly became respectful, and their tone became much kinder.

"Virtue and righteousness are fair."

After seeing Deyi, several people saluted politely.

"Everyone, Your Majesty summoned all of you, and all of you please follow this old slave into the palace." Deyi faced everyone with a smile on his face.

"That's it, Lao De is a righteous man."

Among these people, Li Shen's status was not the most distinguished. In terms of seniority, Li Zhe, who was ahead of Li Shen, was considered to be the uncle of His Majesty Li Er.

Originally, Li Zhe was in Shandong, and he was granted the title of King of Jinan County. However, he arrived in Chang'an a few days ago to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival. Although this kind of thing happened to his business, although he didn't want to join in, if the deal was lost, the entire county palace would have to go back to the time of frugality.

People often say that it is easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but difficult to go from extravagance to frugality.

A group of people entered the Ganlu Hall, stood in the center of the hall, bowed their hands and saluted.

"Meet Your Majesty, Your Majesty Wannian."

"All my lovers are from my own family, no courtesy, come here, and give me a seat." His Majesty Li Er waved his hand, exempting these people from the customary etiquette, and asked the little eunuch in the palace to move cushions for these people.

The little eunuch in the hall turned around and went to the side hall, moved out the cushions from the side hall, and placed them one by one in front of everyone, and they knelt and sat down in the hall.

"Everyone here is my clan. I have seen each of them during the Mid-Autumn Festival a few days ago. I don't know why you came to see me in the palace today?" Seeing everyone sitting down, His Majesty Li Er went straight in. asked them.

As the king of a country, His Majesty Li Er sometimes speaks and does things, and there is no time for him to waste. Regarding these people, His Majesty Li Er does not need to pretend to be false, it is better to get straight to the point.

"Returning to Your Majesty, I have heard that the construction of a new palace on the Longshouyuan has caused a stir in Chang'an City recently. As a royal family, we are also very concerned about your Majesty's construction of a new palace."

Among these people, Li Zhe was the oldest, so he was the first to speak.

"Oh? You are really concerned about the construction of the new palace." His Majesty Li Er said with a smile.

His Majesty Li Er knew what was going on, so listening to their words now, it is inevitable that there is a taste of sarcasm in it. Now the biggest stumbling block to the construction of the new palace is not others, but these "family members" in the palace. Can you say it without irony? ?

"The construction of the new palace is related to the face of the Tang Dynasty, and it is not built by the royal family for their own selfish desires." Li Zhe said with a smile: "As members of the clan, ministers and others naturally have to do their part and care more."

"En." His Majesty Li Er nodded thoughtfully: "Yes, after all, you are also members of the clan. It's rare that you still have this kind of heart. I don't know how you want to do your best?"

"I heard that there is a shortage of materials for the construction of the new palace on the Longshouyuan."

Before Li Zhe finished speaking, His Majesty Li Er interrupted him with a smile: "Lack of materials? If this is the case, you don't need to worry. I have already handed over the matter to the Ministry of Industry and Duke Xuan Shijing of Jinyang County to handle it." , there will be results in a few days, I believe that my subjects will not let me down, if the construction of the new palace fails, the Ministry of Industry and Jinyang County Lord will bear this responsibility, and I will punish them."

The purpose of these people coming to the palace today is nothing more than to go to His Majesty Li Er to inquire about the news, and to find out the news in the palace by the way. It would be great if His Majesty Li Er can test the pressure on Xuan Shijing.

It's a pity that Xuan Shijing had already gotten along with His Majesty Li Er. Since Xuan Shijing was saving money for the court, His Majesty Li Er had no reason not to support Xuan Shijing.

As for these people, for their own self-interest, they wanted the imperial court to pay for them. His Majesty Li Er did not have a good impression of these clans.
