  Chapter 267 The real character of the hero

  North Korean meeting the next day.

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

   "I recently heard that Shuofang's Liang division is about 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 is firm.

  Li Shimin didn't expect this. Originally, Qin Qiong should directly report this kind of matter to the emperor, or bring 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 is still determined.

  After the unexpected appearance of the son's appointment as prime minister, the appearance of father and son worshiping the prime minister 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.

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 with his own soldiers, in charge His original territory was just to deal with the former master in turn.

   This time he was injured, it must have been targeted revenge by Liang Shidu. It is not an exaggeration to say that it was a personal grudge, and Yanzhou was not lost anyway.

  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.

  Datang has many generals who can fight. There are many generals in the Twelve Guards Yamen who sit drinking tea and chatting all day long.

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

   Li Shimin can naturally see that Qin Qiong wants to avoid the situation where father and son are in the same palace.

   "Duke Qi, a mere Liang Shidu, is nothing more than 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."

  Qin Qiong held the jade wat and said that he was willing to go there 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.

   Li Shimin saw that his attitude was firm, and he had no room for refusal.

  After thinking about it, he finally agreed. Qin Lang had just paid his respects 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.

  Removed from the post of minister of the Ministry of War, 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 position of Minister of the Ministry of War, he still always puts it in the hands of the most assured Qiandi Jiubu.

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

  Qin Qiong did not come to participate.

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

  The monarch and his ministers sit down.

   Immediately the atmosphere 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 made the opening, first set the tone for today's meeting, today there is no discussion of personnel or military affairs, only the financial budget.

   "Huailiang, you are now in charge of the national affairs, so please come and give me some advice first!"

  "A year's plan lies in the spring, and the country should live within its means. It can't live a foolish life and spend foolish money. 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 want and spend the money wisely."

  Li Shimin agreed with this statement, "This statement 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.”

  Wang Gui meant that it was 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 Shajiu Buddhism and Taoism, and the elimination of temples and temples in various states in the world, and the recovery of temple land, etc. 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 spouted a series of saliva, scolding Qin Lang to the point where he was utterly scolded, directly calling Qin Lang a robber, a liar, and so on.

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

   How can this look like a prime minister from a famous family?

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 played very well with the big hat, 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 hurriedly followed, and he also showed 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 it, just for the sake of rebelling against it. It doesn't make sense at all. It's a fart.

   "Prince Wang, stay here to summon the right, and the rest of the lords, 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, did Li Shimin leave 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.

  Participating in politics, Wang Gui was dismissed as prime minister because he leaked the forbidden Chinese language, and was demoted to be 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 is also white hemp.

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

   Unexpectedly, Li Shimin would make such a bad move.

   But Qin Lang realized that he had wronged Li Shimin after he went to court the next day, because Li Shimin's stay with Wang Yu 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, but he didn't tell outsiders, just a few people in the family behind closed doors.

  The problem was caused by the secret of the Wang family's Zhen Fusi, who secretly reported the news, and then Li Shimin knew it immediately. 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.

  Therefore, Li Shimin directly dismissed Wang Gui and demoted him from Beijing for the crime of leaking the forbidden Chinese language.

   This operation is also a batch of show.

   But it is true that Wang Gui has not been 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 if you say it.

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

   In short, this is a fierce struggle.

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

   Morning morning again.

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