Five years of county magistrate, 100 million catties of grain shocked Li Shimin

While the dignitaries of the imperial court were arguing over the distribution of the three ships, Du Miaoyan was led by Princess Changle to the royal study.

Du Miaoyan had free access to the harem, but she rarely went to the imperial study to see Li Shimin, almost never.

But this time, she didn't come in and asked Princess Changle to bring it.

"Du Miaoyan, the daughter of Du Ruhui, pays her respects to Your Majesty!"

Du Miaoyan solemnly saluted Li Shimin.

"Get up quickly!"

Li Shimin was stunned for a moment, then stepped down from the dragon chair himself and helped Du Miaoyan.

Generally speaking, when facing Du Miaoyan or Fang Yuan and others, Li Shimin would just say no courtesy.

But Du Miaoyan actually mentioned the late Du Ruhui today, which surprised Li Shimin and became polite.

Thinking of Du Ruhui's appearance of exhausting himself to death, Li Shimin immediately fell into grief, and grief came over him.

Princess Changle was also greatly surprised and looked at the serious Du Miaoyan curiously, wondering how Du Miaoyan could be so serious.

"Your Majesty, my concubine's husband, Fang Yuan, created the Maritime Silk Road. His achievements should be no worse than those of the land Silk Road. His contribution will last through the ages."

"I am curious, what will your Majesty reward my husband?"

Du Miaoyan said solemnly.

"Did Fang Yuan ask you to come?"

Li Shimin frowned and returned to the dragon chair to sit down.

"No, I wanted to come here myself, so I came to ask for my father."

Du Miaoyan shook her head and said solemnly.

"For your father?!"

Li Shimin frowned even deeper.

"Yes!"

"Fang Yuan had no father or mother since he was a child. After he got married to me, my father became his father."

"But my father also died young. When my husband made great achievements, he couldn't ask Your Majesty in person. Last night, he asked me in a dream to ask Your Majesty, so that he can know."

Du Miaoyan said slowly.

His tone slowly turned sad, and eventually his eyes turned red.

In fact, Du Ruhui didn't entrust her with a dream last night, it was just her words.

But when it comes to her father who died young, Du Miaoyan is really sad, and tears will burst out of her eyes if she doesn't live up to expectations.

"Ke Ming is overly worried. I never thought of ignoring Fang Yuan's reward. I was just thinking about what to reward Fang Yuan."

"Since you took the initiative to ask, what do you want?"

Li Shimin said with a sigh.

It turned out that Du Ruhui wanted to know.

That's just right, I don't know what to seal to Fang Yuan, you can tell me yourself.

"king!"

Du Miaoyan uttered a word.

"what?"

Li Shimin exclaimed.

Princess Changle on the side was also shocked.

King, this is not just a word, it is also a noble status.

He means having his own fiefdom, more food, and his own guards.

And he’s still a king with a different surname!
"Confer the king!"

Du Miaoyan said again.

His expression was so serious.

"Is this your idea, Fang Yuan's idea, or Ke Ming's idea?"

Li Shimin took a deep breath and said in a deep voice.

It is impossible to have a king with a different surname. The Tang Dynasty does not need a king with a different surname.

The power of a king with a different surname was too great, and failure to control it would be a huge disaster for the Tang Dynasty.

"It's my idea, my husband's idea, and my father's idea. We are one."

Du Miaoyan said seriously.

"It's impossible to be crowned king. Just give up on this idea."

"You can offer other rewards, but as long as they are not excessive, I will accept them."

Li Shimin said solemnly.

No matter it is Du Miaoyan, Fang Yuan, or Du Ruhui under the spring.

It is impossible to be crowned king!
"No, we just want to be crowned king!"

Du Miaoyan shook her head and said in a deep voice.

"presumptuous!"

"The achievements of all the princes in the Manchu Dynasty are much higher than Fang Yuan's, and I will not grant them the title of king."

"Now that Fang Yuan is just creating a Maritime Silk Road, do you want me to make him a king?"

Li Shimin said furiously.

"Excuse me, Your Majesty, apart from the merits of serving the dragon, who else in the imperial court can compare with my husband in terms of merit?"

"My husband not only created the Maritime Silk Road, but also developed powerful weapons such as cement, red bricks, and firecrackers. Who can compare with him?"

Du Miaoyan remained unmoved, faced Li Shimin directly, and said in a deep voice.

Princess Changle on the side felt that the atmosphere had become tense and secretly tugged at the corner of Du Miaoyan's clothes, but was ignored by Du Miaoyan.

"You must force me to make Fang Yuan the king?!"

Li Shimin was so angry that the corners of his mouth twitched and he shouted.

Good guy, is this a master of great achievements?
"Your Majesty, I am just doing this for your own good."

Du Miaoyan said slowly.

"Really?"

Li Shimin naturally didn't believe it and sneered again and again.

"To be honest, when my husband supported Gao Tianzhi to ascend to the throne, Gao Tianzhi named my husband King of Goguryeo with a different surname and allocated a piece of land for him."

Du Miaoyan said loudly.

This is a secret, and probably no more than five people in the world know it.

Among them, Li Shimin and Princess Changle didn't know.

"Asshole, one minister and two masters, is he looking for death?!"

Li Shimin was stunned for a moment, then became angrier and his eyes widened.

"Of course, my husband didn't want it, but Gao Tianzhi is still sealed there."

"But what I want to say is not that your Majesty knows where my husband has moved the institute?"

Du Miaoyan smiled charmingly and said proudly.

The matter of Gao Tianzhi making Fang Yuan king disappeared with his death.

For safety reasons, Fang Yuan asked Lu Tingmei to destroy all the files and not let outsiders know.

After all, the king of Goguryeo is Fang Yuan's son. It doesn't matter whether he is a king of Goguryeo with a different surname.

"Where did it migrate to?"

Li Shimin's anger was somewhat calmed.

It's a good thing that Fang Yuan didn't really have one minister and two masters, otherwise he would have been punished by death.

But because of this incident, Li Shimin felt a sense of crisis, that is, Fang Yuan's status in other countries.

With the weapons and power Fang Yuan currently has at his disposal, if he asks for a reward from a king with a different surname from other countries, some countries may agree, right?

"Future Island, an island full of the future."

"After my husband was promoted from minister to minister, he became disillusioned with officialdom and found a huge island."

"He said that one day in the future, if he gets tired of the intrigues in the officialdom, he will take us to live in seclusion on Future Island and live a peaceful life. The original intention of creating the shipyard was to go to Future Island."

Du Miaoyan said with a melancholy tone.

This was half true and half false, but it mainly made Li Shimin feel a sense of crisis.

"He wants to leave Datang?!"

Li Shimin suddenly felt panicked.When he thought of Fang Yuan leaving Datang, he felt that he had lost something important.

What Fang Yuan has now is something that no one else in the world has. It is a huge treasure.

Such a good treasure is probably more precious than the Mausoleum of Qin Shihuang. How could it be allowed to leave like this?

"You didn't expect it? I didn't expect it either!"

"So, I am thinking about you, Your Majesty."

"My husband has been disappointed with the court. If he cannot get a huge reward for his great achievements this time, then sooner or later he will leave the Tang Dynasty."

Du Miaoyan said with a hint of ridicule.

Compared to Fang Yuan, she did not want to leave Datang.

Because Datang is where she grew up and has relatives and friends.

Therefore, Du Miaoyan hoped that the imperial court could provide Fang Yuan with a huge guarantee without having to move.

But if Fang Yuan is determined to leave Datang, then Du Miaoyan will also leave with Fang Yuan. After all, Fang Yuan is his most important person.

"You can give me other rewards, but you can be crowned king, no!"

Li Shimin was horrified deep in his heart.

While extremely worried about Fang Yuan leaving, he still disagreed with the title of king.

Because sealing the king would cause a series of terrible consequences, there would be a potential crisis in the Tang Dynasty.

"My intention has been conveyed. It is up to Your Majesty to decide whether it is okay or not."

"If we want to move away at that time, please allow us to leave. I don't want my husband to break with the Tang Dynasty."

Du Miaoyan solemnly saluted Li Shimin and turned to leave.

Princess Changle looked at Li Shimin, then at Du Miaoyan, then she also bowed and left.

Li Shimin sat on the dragon chair, his brows furrowed, and his heart felt like it was overturned.

It turned out that instead of giving them a quiet and safe environment, Fang Yuan Migration Institute wanted to leave.

It turns out that Fang Yuan built a shipyard and manufactured steel ships not for the Maritime Silk Road, but because he wanted to leave.

It turned out that Fang Yuan was so resentful about being demoted from Minister to Minister and had long thought about leaving the Tang Dynasty.

"Teacher, teacher, Teacher Miaoyan!"

"You won't really leave Datang one day, will you?"

Princess Changle caught up with Du Miaoyan and asked nervously.

It can be said that Du Miaoyan grew up with him.

Du Miaoyan has appeared in many of my memories since childhood.

In the current life, the queen mother is the most important, followed by Du Miaoyan, and then the emperor.

Because the emperor has many things to do, although he loves himself very much, he may not be able to see him every ten or eight days, and he is not as cordial as imagined.

"It depends on your father's choice."

Du Miaoyan did not stop and smiled calmly.

"But, but"

Princess Changle chased Du Miaoyan and wanted to say that her father would not make her the king.

The problem of a king with a different surname is too serious. Even though I am just a princess, I understand the horror of it.

Because once a precedent is set, the following princes will want to be crowned kings. If they are not crowned kings after their merits are achieved, they will have objections.

"No buts."

Du Miaoyan knew what Princess Changle wanted to say and strode away.

Today's goal has been achieved. It can be said that the first step has been completed and the second step can be carried out.

As Du Miaoyan left the palace, Chang'an City began to discuss what kind of reward Fang Yuan should receive.

"The Maritime Silk Road is by no means worse than the land Silk Road. It will definitely be as successful as the canal. For such a great achievement, it is absolutely no problem to be promoted to minister, granted the title of Third Duke, and rewarded with good land and beautiful houses, right?"

"I think promotion to the Minister and the title of Three Dukes are not enough. You must know that Fang Shilang himself was demoted by the Minister, and the three Dukes are all empty-handed. It is not enough to be crowned a king."

"A king with a different surname? Don't think about it. That's impossible. Your Majesty and the princes in the court will not agree to the appearance of a king with a different surname."

"But don't you think it's most appropriate to be crowned a king? You know, Fang Shilang not only created the Maritime Silk Road, but today's banks, red bricks, cement, bicycles, etc., none of them have greatly improved our lives? "

People talk about it.

At first, someone just mentioned being crowned king.

There are many people mentioned later, and they also think they should be crowned kings.

The news spread so horribly that almost everyone in Chang'an City was talking about it.

There are too few kings with different surnames. Since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, there is only one king with different surnames in name.

That was the king with a different surname who was granted the title for various reasons, and he is now dead.

Now that we are talking about the reward for a king with a different surname again, it is really shocking, and the government and the public are shocked.

People at the bottom talked about it, and the dignitaries in Chang'an City naturally knew about it, and Changsun Wuji and others naturally knew about it soon.

"hiss!!!"

"Who caused the comments? You actually want to have a different surname? Wang?!"

"The matter of naming a king with a different surname is of great importance. If you are not careful, it will cause turmoil in the world. We must not set a precedent."

The ministers who heard about the discussion couldn't help but gasped, and they immediately felt that they couldn't let it happen.

Among them, some Zhangsun Wuji, Gao Shilian and others who were unhappy that Fang Yuan had a grudge against Fang Yuan directly sneered and declared:

"If you want to be crowned king, you must die!"

The powerful people were shocked, but their opinions were almost the same.

That is impossible!

The next morning, the atmosphere in the huge palace was solemn.

As soon as Li Shimin arrived and the court meeting was announced to have begun, officials came forward.

"Your Majesty, I heard that Shi Lang Fang wanted to be crowned king. I thought it was absolutely impossible, absolutely impossible!"

"Yes, Your Majesty, whether it is a rumor or someone did it deliberately, the matter of making the king must not set a precedent!"

As soon as someone came forward, more people came forward.

Even Wei Zheng took the initiative to stand up and threatened that naming a king with a different surname might turn the country upside down.

"Servant Fang, the ministers are filled with indignation. Why don't you stand up and say something?"

Gao Shilian stood up and did not object, but he targeted Fang Yuan.

After saying this, all the cultural relics in the court looked at Fang Yuan, with shock and hostility in their eyes.

Li Shimin also looked at Fang Yuan, remembering what Du Miaoyan had said to him before, and felt complicated.

"Gao Shangshu, I don't understand, why do you want me to say a few words?"

"The people's mouths are not mine. I can't control what they say."

"Could it be that if they say that they want to make me king, Your Majesty and all the princes in the court will agree?"

"It's just a joke for the common people after tea. You are all stunned."

Fang Yuan stood up and said calmly.

But deep down in his heart, he felt huge pressure and lamented that Du Miaoyan had caused him misery.

Starting from the morning session, everyone looked at him with hostility, including Ma Zhou, who he had a good relationship with.

Fang Yuan could understand this feeling: We are all good officials of the imperial court, and we are all colleagues, but you suddenly want to be crowned king, break away from me, and stand above me, how can we not be jealous?

"Of course you can't control what the people say, but you're just afraid that they will be led by certain people."

Gao Shilian sneered.

If there was no deliberate guidance, public opinion would not be so big.

The people in the entire Chang'an City are discussing it, which is far greater than all the previous discussions. It is simply unprecedented.

And not only in Chang'an City, public opinion seems to be discussed in other places. It is very accumulated and has many supporters.

"Gao Shangshu, you are also the chief of the Sixth Department after all. Can you say less about things without evidence?"

"I always feel that you are not suitable to be the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue. You are not rigorous at all. Now I feel even more."

Fang Yuan sneered in reply.

"you!"

Gao Shilian was furious and glared at Fang Yuan.

Seeing that the two were about to argue, Li Shimin was furious.

"Okay, shut up!" (End of Chapter)
