Recreating the prosperous Tang begins with summoning players

Chapter 319 Yuan Zai and Yu Chaoen
"Head, this is Fengxiang Mansion, so lively?" Yu Xiaoxiao held back all the way, and finally saw the big city, feeling excited.

Li Daoyuan nodded and said, "Datang's mansion is the highest-level city, and it was built according to the standard of the accompanying capital."

"After the emperor ascended the throne in Lingwu, he promoted Fengxiang as a mansion and sent many craftsmen to build it. Now that the imperial court is in Fengxiang mansion, of course it is very lively."

Zhou Shi was also very excited when he saw the bustling city. After leaving Guyuan City, in order not to cause trouble, the group traveled day and night without entering the city, and finally arrived at Fengxiang Mansion.

Zhang Duanyang, dressed as a military man, looked at the city gate and said:

"This city gate is not very high, I should be able to climb it."

After saying this, Zhou Shi wanted to cry but said without tears: "Teacher, don't say that under the gate of the city!"

Zhang Duanyang also pushed the city wall hard and said: "It's not as strong as the city wall of Guyuan City. Give me 1000 people to climb the city wall!"

Li Daoyuan said with a smile: "Professor Zhang, Guyuan City is an important border military town. Fengxiang Mansion was just a big city in Gyeonggi before, and city defense was not its main function."

When he was outside Fengxiang Mansion, Li Daoyuan saw two groups of people.

There was a group of people wearing gowns with round necks and narrow sleeves, each face was white and beardless, and the leader was a smiling official with a round face and scarlet robes.

The other group of people wore scarlet official robes, and standing in the front row was a serious-looking middle-aged civil servant.

These two groups of people stood at the gate of the city, and the people were driven to other gates by the soldiers.

Even Zhang Duanyang, who is not proficient in the world, can see the weirdness of the matter.

Zhang Duanyang said to Li Daoyuan using the in-game chat:

"The gown with round neck and narrow sleeves is the dress of an eunuch in the palace. Wearing a scarlet official robe, he must be a high-ranking eunuch."

"The ones on the other side are wearing the scarlet official robes of civil servants. Are these two groups of people standing at the gate of the city waiting for us?"

Li Daoyuan also saw that something was wrong, the two teams stood far apart, as if the well water did not interfere with the river water.

But they are watching each other with their eyes, which means that the two groups of people are here for the same purpose.

Li Daoyuan picked up King Jianning's festival battle, which was a token given to him by Li Yan when he was traveling east.

After seeing King Jianning's battle, the two teams stepped forward at the same time, which confirmed Li Daoyuan's conjecture.

These two groups of people are here for themselves!

Li Daoyuan stopped, raised the stick in his hand high and said:
"Li Daoyuan was ordered to donate [-] miscellaneous animals to the imperial court as the Sima of the army marching in the overlord's mansion of Jianning."

Li Daoyuan stopped, and the two groups of people also stopped.

The eunuch with the round face was the first to speak, and he said in a sharp tone:
"The servant of the Zajia, Yu Chaoen, is here to welcome Li Sima by everyone's order. Please send the livestock to the imperial garden with the Zajia."

Yu Chaoen, Zhang Duanyang took a deep breath, this is a powerful eunuch.

Facing this eunuch who left his name in history books, Zhang Duanyang dare not underestimate him.

But just after Yu Chaoen finished speaking, the civil servant in scarlet robe stepped forward and said:
"Wait a minute! Does Superintendent Yu have His Majesty's will?"

Yu Chaoen snorted coldly and said, "The Miscellaneous Family followed everyone's orders."

The scarlet-robed official flicked his sleeves and said:
"If there is no imperial decree from everyone, it is a false edict!"

"According to the regulations of the imperial court, the donations from various local towns should be merged into the treasury under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Households. Please Li Sima take these miscellaneous animals to the east warehouse of the Ministry of Households."

After saying this, Yu Chaoen immediately jumped up and said:

"I am doing things according to everyone's will, and this was sent by King Jianning! King Jianning is His Majesty's own son, and the son honors Lao Tzu's gift. Do you still want to enter the public warehouse of the Ministry of Households?"

But the scarlet-robed official said without giving in: "King Jianning is His Majesty's son, and he is also the governor of Longyou in the Tang Dynasty. His Majesty appointed King Jianning to control Longyou. King Jianning is an official of the Tang court."

"The feudal town pays tribute to the imperial court, and all the offerings will go into the public warehouse of the household department!"

Now Yu Xiaoxiao was completely stupid, she asked in the team channel: "Aren't they all officials? Why are they arguing?"

Zhou Shi has been earnestly being Yu Xiaoxiao's licking dog all the way, so naturally he won't miss this opportunity to show off at this time.

He said at once:
"This eunuch belongs to the palace. He asked us to drive the animals to the imperial garden. As long as they enter the imperial garden, they are the emperor's private property."

"The official thought that the cattle and sheep we sent belonged to the public and should be sent to the treasury under the jurisdiction of the imperial household department."

Yu Xiaoxiao asked suspiciously: "Does the emperor still need private money? Isn't the whole world the emperor's?"

Zhou Shi immediately said: "Of course not, the money of the household department is the money of the imperial court, and the emperor cannot use the money of the imperial court casually."

"But the money controlled by the internal treasury is all the emperor's private money, and the emperor can use it as he wants."

Zhang Duanyang said at this time: "I asked you to study hard, but now it is embarrassing again? There was no internal treasury system in the Tang Dynasty. Now the emperor's private property is under the control of various departments of the inner court, and there is no unified management of the internal treasury."

"Teacher, isn't that the same meaning?"

"Your studies are too sloppy! It seems that I have to take a serious look at your future papers!"

"do not want!"

Zhou Shi screamed in the team chat, Yu Xiaoxiao covered her mouth and laughed.

But she understood Zhou Shi's explanation. These two groups of people came to fight for the ownership of these miscellaneous animals.

Zhang Duanyang has long been used to these tricks, he said:

"Actually, it's a simple matter. The emperor wanted this batch of livestock, but the officials of the household department refused. That square-faced official is from the household department."

Sure enough, the scarlet-robed official stepped forward and said:
"Yuanzai, Duzhilang of Hubu, met Li Sima."

Yuan Zai! ?
Both Zhang Duanyang and Zhou Shi took a deep breath.

Yuan Zai, the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty, is a figure that no one who studies Tang history can avoid.

And Yu Xiaoxiao, who had always been ignorant of historical knowledge, also exclaimed.

Zhou Shi asked suspiciously on the team channel:

"You also know Yuan Zai?"

Yu Xiaoxiao immediately said: "Yuan Zai is famous! His love story with Wang Yunxiu is very famous!"

"Don't underestimate me! I've played games and studied it, this is my CP!"

Zhou Shi couldn't help but rolled his eyes, he knocked CP into the game.

Yuan Zai walked up to Li Daoyuan and said, "Li Sima, please hand over these livestock to the household department."

Although the square-faced Yuan Zai was only a fifth-rank Hubu Tozhiro, he was so imposing that he even stood up against the eunuchs who were close to the emperor.

Tobu Dozhiro is responsible for the work of the Tang court.

The so-called expenditure refers to expenses and expenses, and it is actually the department that prepares the imperial budget.

Although this is a rank five official, his position is quite important.

The court of the Tang Dynasty has always had the saying that the minister of finance and planning, the Minister of the Household Department who is in charge of the court's finances, will be privately called "the planner" by the government and the public.

Although Ji Xiang does not have the position of prime minister, he has the reality of prime minister.

And it is often only one step away from being a prime minister to being a real prime minister.

Tojiro is also an important assistant to the Minister of Tobe, and is also the closest position to the position of Jixiang.

This is also the most valuable position among the fifth-rank officials. Yuan Zai's ability to secure the position of Du Zhilang at this age is enough to see his ability.

And Yu Chaoen, the eunuch of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, is not an ordinary eunuch.

According to Emperor Taizong's ancestral system, the highest level of eunuch treatment is the third rank, and the Ministry of Internal Affairs is the most important department responsible for serving the emperor.

Li Fuguo, the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, is the most powerful eunuch with power in the government and the public. Now the young officials of Fengxiang Mansion even call him "Internal Minister".

Many young students who are interested in the imperial examination will also send to Li Fuguo a paper, which is full of flattering poems.

The eunuchs who can enter the Ministry of Internal Affairs are all the best eunuchs.

And because Yu Chaoen is "proficient in martial arts", he is now the military observer of the Shence Army, that is, the supervisor of the Shence Army.

The dispute between the two is actually a struggle between the inner court and the outer court, but they both ignored one person.

Yuan Zai fought with Yu Chaoen, Li Daoyuan coughed and said:
"According to the order of King Jianning, Li escorted [-] miscellaneous animals and [-] war horses captured from the Uighurs into the court."

"King Jianning ordered us to submit the victory report to His Majesty in writing."

After saying this, Li Daoyuan didn't even look back, and directly led the other members of the eastbound group into the gate of Fengxiang Mansion.

He directly threw the escorted livestock at the gate of the city!

Yuan Zai and Yu Chaoen were stunned. They didn't pay attention to the envoy of King Jianning.

The bureaucrats of Jianning King's Overlord's Mansion are all low-ranking officials.

What happened to King Jianning in Longyou, and whether the document of victory over the Uighurs was true? There were different opinions in the court.

Yuan Zai was the Du Zhilang of the imperial court, who controlled the financial planning of Datang.

Yu Chaoen is the eunuch of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the person closest to the emperor, also proficient in military affairs, and often advises the emperor.

Of course they knew about Longyou's situation.

Not to mention whether King Jianning can control Longyou's arrogant soldiers with the vacant position of the general manager of Longyou.

Even if it is to concentrate Longyou's power, it would be good to be able to defend Longyou, and actively intervene in the Uyghur war to defeat the Uyghur Khan's own army?
Both Yuan Zai and Yu Chaoen didn't believe it. According to the current mainstream opinion in the court, these are the livestock that King Jianning plundered in Longyou, and they were sent in the name of victory to please the emperor.

The source of the livestock is not important. The most important thing is whether such a sum of goods goes into the emperor's private pocket or the household department's treasury.

Several prime ministers argued hard, but the emperor did not decree to allocate the livestock into the national treasury.

So there was a battle between Yu Chaoen and Yuan Zai for the ownership of livestock.

As for why only these two people are allowed to fight, this is also a small pawn crossing the river. First, send two low-ranking but influential officials to fight. trade.

It can be said that in the planning of Yuan Zai, Yu Chaoen, and the boss hiding behind them, the reaction of the envoy of King Jianning was not considered.

Or they didn't care about the reaction of the little Jianning King's envoy at all.

But Li Daoyuan's behavior was beyond their expectations, and he went directly to the city with his burden on him!
