There has been a shortage of hard money in the Tang Dynasty for a long time. All kinds of silk and cloth can be counted as currency. The most fundamental reason is that the quantity of copper coins is very small, which is not enough to support the huge transaction volume.

With the demise of the Western Turks, even the Sogdian copper coins of the Western Turks were abandoned and replaced with Kaiyuan Tongbao. Even if the 99 coin-casting furnaces of Zhuqianjian kept casting day and night, they could not meet the needs of the market.

In addition, Tubo, Tuyuhun, Turk, Shiwei, and Khitan all accepted Kaiyuan Tongbao as their common currency, and the gap became even wider.

It is imperative to use silver as currency, but how many metals will be mixed with silver, how much a silver dollar weighs, and how many copper coins should be exchanged are all headaches for Zhenbang and others.

Fan used the excuse that he was old and had a bad memory, and refused anything related to calculations.

If you have any questions, please see Zhen Xing, Zhen Bang, and Wu Qi.

If you want to go to the local government to handle matters, you can go to Shu Cang and Chen Lijian. Fan Zheng rarely participates in local affairs now.

Apart from his age difference, Fan Zheng is no different from those old fritters who are waiting to retire.

Everything was calm between Yushitai and Fan Zheng, and everyone knew that they had to attack another target.

In the court hall, attendant Han Yuan, Zhongshu Ling Laiji, and Taiwei Chang Sun Wuji suddenly revolted, complaining about Chu Suiliang, who had been demoted from the governor of Tanzhou to the governor of Guizhou.

If they don't speak out anymore, the emperor's prestige will gradually increase, and there will be little room for them to make decisions in the court.

Will Chu Suiliang give in?

To a certain extent, the problem was his bad temper. He would slander whomever he caught. Even Fan Zheng was accused of being a traitor, Wu Zhao was accused of being unfair, and the emperor was accused of pampering his concubines and destroying his wife. Fan thought he could spare his life. It's the emperor's temper that has improved.

How many people do you think would be willing to speak up for such a person?
Why, please come back and point at the bridge of your nose and curse every day?

Not cheap!

Changsun Wuji discovered for the first time that he was alone in the court and could not sing.

Except for the three of them, even Yushitai did not support this statement at all.

Oh, I forgot to mention that because of the Dali Cheng Bi Zhengyi incident, Li Yifu was demoted to the local governor for a few months, and then returned to the court in full swing. He was appointed as the Secretary of the Central Committee, the censor of the school, and the title of Marquis of Guangping County. Enter the Hejian County Duke.

Fan Zheng feels that this guy doesn't feel like he's been demoted, but rather like he's been gilded to gain seniority.

En Li Yifu remembers it very much, Qiu Li Yifu remembers it even more.

At that time, the eldest Sun Wuji intended to demote Li Yifu, a scholar in the District Zhongshushe, to Bizhou Sima, which forced Li Yifu to embark on the path of treachery and sycophancy. His morals declined rapidly. How could he not repay him well?
"Supervise the imperial censor Li Song and impeach Zhongshu Ling Laiji for colluding with Chu Suiliang and intending to do evil!"

"Supervise the imperial censor Li Quanjiao, and impeach the imperial minister Han Yuan for colluding with Chu Suiliang and plotting evil!"

"Your Majesty, Wang Xu, wants to impeach Tai Lieutenant Sun Wuji for colluding with Chu Suiliang, with unknown intentions."

The three leopards in the capital were released by this guy Li Yifu, and they bit them extremely viciously.

In the past, Changsun Wuji would have already drawn two ivory wats and taught the three leopards in the capital how to behave.

However, the momentum is not right now.

With the momentum of a great victory, the emperor's reputation is booming, and his comrades in the court seem to have disappeared!

Changsun Wuji looked livid and looked at the emperor without saying a word to see what other methods he had.Li Yifu laughed before he said anything, and the laughter like a night owl rippled in the palace: "No wonder the Taiwei never forgets Chu Suiliang. It turns out that he is the same party and opposes different people. Tsk tsk, I just don't know how the Taiwei is dissatisfied with His Majesty's treatment?"

"Could it be that the Taiwei also wants to be an auxiliary minister?"

The words were so poisonous that even Fan Zheng turned his attention.

Li Yifu, who had completely given up on treatment, could already describe his actions as "vicious".

He and Changsun Wuji are fighting to the death, and they must get out of the Tai Chi Hall smoothly today!

What's more, Li Yifu's action was not just his intention!
When he deposed the king and established Wu, Changsun Wuji had already severely offended the queen!

In Fan Zheng's eyes, this is a warning. Elders should not interfere in the marriage matters of younger generations!

Xu Jingzong, the Minister of Rites, raised the scepter: "The Taiwei has gone too far. Your Majesty demoted Chu Suiliang for good reasons. Chu Er was stubborn and unfaithful to the emperor, and he was bossy. Your Majesty was magnanimous in not taking his life. How can I allow my ministers to criticize him again?" ?”

Although Xu Jingzong was a treacherous person, he spoke with good intentions. He secretly reminded Changsun Wuji that the emperor was no longer very independent when he ascended the throne. Although you are a respected elder, you should be careful not to say nonsense.

However, the extremely angry Changsun Wuji lost his mind and cursed in the court: "The Tang Dynasty is so big that it can't tolerate even one loyal minister and righteous man?"

The whole dynasty is full of civil and military spirit. In the eyes of your grandson Wuji, we are all treacherous and sycophantic.

Ren Yaxiang, Minister of the Ministry of War, came out: "The treacherous minister Ren Yaxiang has reported that Chu Suiliang, the governor of Guizhou, lives in the local area and is concerned about the court. He wants to get rid of the treacherous traitors in the Manchu Dynasty and carry out the responsibility of stirring up chaos. The treacherous minister thinks that he should be granted the title of "King of Side by Side". .”

Changsun Wuji reacted and was speechless for a moment.

Ren Yaxiang made it clear that you are loyal ministers and everyone else is a traitor. Is that enough?

Combined with Changsun Wuji's words, they were suddenly isolated from the other ministers.

Most political strategies focus on gathering the majority and isolating the minority. However, Zhang Sun Wuji's words pushed them to the minority side.

The emperor was displeased and drafted an edict: "Edict: Chu Suiliang, the governor of Guizhou, did not abide by the courtesy of his ministers and went to Aizhou to serve as governor as a punishment; Sun Wuji, the Taiwei, the governor of Yangzhou and the eldest son of Zhao Guogong, took the governor of Yangzhou to take up the post of Qianzhou ; Lai Ji moved to the left to be the governor of Taizhou; Han Yuan moved to the left to be the governor of Zhenzhou (Sanya, Hainan)."

After this decree, starting from Sun Chong, the Secretary Supervisor and Prince Consort, all the descendants of Changsun Wuji were exiled to Lingnan, including Honglu Shaoqing's eldest Sun Huan.

With Changsun Huan's ability, as long as he lowers his body and shows his hand at any funeral, life will not be too difficult.

Don't blame the emperor for being ruthless. If Changsun Wuji had expressed his intention to dethrone the empress, or if he had taken up the official position quickly afterwards, no one would have held on to him, yet he still refused to leave.

Coupled with pouring cold water on the emperor's prosperity, it is inevitable to settle old scores.

Why do most of the auxiliary ministers find it hard to die a happy death? No wonder the emperor is ruthless.

Chu Suiliang, who was demoted to Aizhou and ate several meals of dragon tooth bananas, killed hundreds of mosquitoes, and stabbed several large rats to death, finally realized that his attitude had softened. When he went to the court, he rarely spoke softly, describing the early days of his administration. difficult.

The purpose of beating around the bush and talking a lot of nonsense was not that Chu Suiliang couldn't stand the heat and couldn't see the gracefulness of the thick-lipped woman, but that he didn't want his heir to suffer in Aizhou with him.

If you know today, why should you be in the beginning.

Speak softly on weekdays and don't roar like thunder at all times. You always think that you are standing on the moral high ground. Will you sink to this?
Li Yifu is now trying to keep a distance from Fan Zheng, but when he glances at Fan Zheng, he can't hide his pride, vividly interpreting "the villain succeeds". (End of chapter)
