And these people were killed out of the sea of ​​blood, until now they are from the second rank.

This is a civil official, and there are not many generals among the military generals, and each of them has made countless merits, so they have today's status.

And Wan Kuan's meritorious deeds have not yet been established, that is, he wrote a few good poems and has a good hand, and was directly promoted by His Majesty to be an official from the third rank. Who can be convinced that the officials are more interested in Wan Kuan at this time. It was schadenfreude, because Wan Kuan took over His Majesty's military order, and it was almost impossible to complete it, so sooner or later he would have to fall.

The sunrise in summer is very early, and before the [-]th hour, the Taiji Temple is already full of sunshine.

The high dragon chair was still empty, and Li Shimin had to wait until the officials arrived before he could come in. This is the emperor's majesty.

Li Shimin didn't come, but at the head of the stage was a small chair, and sitting on it was a boy of fifteen or sixteen, who looked about the same age as Wan Kuan.

However, the second young master wore a crown of heaven and a black python robe, and his golden thread was quite dazzling under the sunlight.

Fang Xuanling, who was walking in the front, nodded slightly when they saw this young man, showing their respect.

Wan Kuan narrowed his eyes, the prince is here, today is really interesting.

Now that His Majesty has not come, the officials cannot salute the Prince first, so everyone just nodded slightly.

At this time, the eunuch's sharp voice came, Li Shimin came! Everyone stood up, bowed their heads, and bowed to Li Shimin who came out from the back of the hall.

Wan Kuan secretly looked at Li Shimin, who was arrogant, and felt that this emperor was really majestic.

And Li Shimin saw Wan Kuan who secretly raised his head through Wulianzhu, and the corner of his mouth twitched.

This kid is so daring, he dares to make a fool of himself at the Great Court! Li Shimin doesn't care...

Wan Kuan, sit down directly:.

"Aiqing, please sit down!"

Li Shimin gave an order, and everyone immediately.

Find your own futon and sit down.

Wan Kuan was sitting just behind Zhangsun Wuji, looking at the lump of flesh in front of him, he couldn't help pouting.

"In these ten days, what are the important things that all the Aiqing need to report?"

The court meeting in the early Tang Dynasty was very real, just to solve the problem, so Li Shimin went straight to the point as soon as he came up.

Originally, according to the past, starting from Zhongshu Province, we should start reporting.

But today is different, the prince is approaching the court, something is wrong.

Generally speaking, in ordinary ceremonies, the prince does not come.

Only after the once-a-year grand court meeting will the prince be in power.

Today is not a new year, everyone thinks it is a little strange why the prince is here, so we all plan to take a look first.

Li Shimin smiled when he saw that everyone was silent.

Last night, the prince told Li Shimin that he wanted to go to court today, but he didn't say anything at that time, just nodded.

But today, when he went to court, everyone was not as Li Shimin expected.

The Taiji Hall was silent, and you could hear a needle drop.

And Li Shimin leaned on the dragon chair, rubbing the armrests of the dragon chair in his hand.

After a while, no one spoke.

Li Shimin winked at the old eunuch beside him, and the old eunuch immediately understood.

"Something happened.

Apologize, retreat without incident!"

As soon as the old eunuch spoke, everyone's eyelids trembled. Today's atmosphere is a little weird! There were times of silence in the previous ceremonies.

But at that time, Li Shimin would take the initiative to ask questions, instead of being silent like today.

Fang Xuanling stood at the front, squinting his eyes, as if he was wandering in the sky.

Today, the prince's arrival is strange, and it is not appropriate to speak.

And originally the great court meeting was... the civil servants were discussing matters, so the generals were all silent.

In addition, many military generals are not in Chang'an, so for a while these.... the civil and military bosses are all pretending to be deaf and dumb! And just when everyone thought that today's court meeting was about to end, suddenly the prince came from He stood up in his seat.

"Father, my son has something to say!"

Li Shimin's eyes lit up, and he finally waited.

Li Chengqian said last night that he wanted to be in power, and Li Shimin felt that there was a problem. Today, Li Shimin wants to see what his prince has to say.

"There is something wrong with the prince.

Say it anyway!"

Li Shimin raised his hand.

At this time, Li Chengqian was very polite, bowed slightly and turned to the civil and military officials.

At this time, missing the sun, Wan Kuan saw the appearance of the prince.

Wan Kuan's heart moved at this time, this prince was somewhat similar to himself in appearance.

Wan Kuan thought to himself that between his eyebrows and eyes, he was somewhat similar to the prince.

It's just that the prince's facial features are a bit feminine, and he is more masculine.

At this time, everyone looked at Li Chengqian, while Li Chengqian bypassed everyone and looked at Wan Kuan.

"Father, my son heard a few days ago that the prisoner will issue a military order to hand over [-] catties of steel billets within a month.

Erchen deduced from the details of the past years that he will serve as a prisoner, and felt that it was impossible."

Li Chengqian's tone was flat, without any fluctuations, but everyone already understood from the first word.

The prince is here for Wan Kuan.

"Father, my son, is in doubt.

Father and son said that learning without thinking is worthless, so my son wants to ask Wan Dajian for advice!"

The more Li Shimin listened, the more his eyes narrowed into a line.

Li Shimin finally understood the purpose of the prince's coming to court today.

After Li Chengqian finished speaking, Wan Kuan smiled slightly, and was about to get up to speak, but was snatched by the eldest grandson Wuji in front of him.

I saw Changsun Wuji get up in a little embarrassment, his fat body like a ball, quite funny.

"His Royal Highness, the general supervisor has pulled hundreds of thousands of kilograms of iron ore from the warehouse of the household department in the past few days, and the household has only bought dozens of cars of coal for the general supervisor. A lot of steel billets have been smelted."

Wan Kuan stood up at this time, watching Changsun Wuji and Li Chengqian sing in harmony, the corner of his mouth couldn't help showing a sneer.

And Zhangsun Wuji looked back at Wan Kuan at this time: "Master Wan, this officer is right."

Wan Kuan smiled lightly: "What the eldest grandson Pushe said is true, in the past few days, the prisoner has extracted [-] kilograms of iron ore, and bought more than [-] truckloads of coal.

It is precisely because of the constant support of the Ministry of Households that the work can start only when he will be a supervisor!”

As soon as Wan Kuan's words came out, many officials in the Taiji Hall secretly laughed.

The fact that Wan Kuan's subordinates went to the household department to make trouble, no one knows what the two of them look like now, it is estimated that it is already like fire and water.

At this time, Li Shimin was still sitting on the dragon chair without saying a word, just quietly watching the situation below.

At this time, Li Chengqian asked Wan Kuan: "Master Wan, I have checked the accounts of the prisoner from the previous dynasty until last year.

To receive so much iron ore and coal is far beyond the ability of a supervisor."

"These ores and coals are purchased by the Ministry of Household with the money from the treasury. Since the supervisor does not have the ability to make steel, why did he buy so many of these ores and coals? Where did they go?"

There was a chill in Li Chengqian's voice, but Wan Kuan was still calm.

There was a hint of pride in Changsun Wuji's eyes, while Li Shimin's eyes became colder and colder, sitting on the dragon chair.

"His Royal Highness, the daily consumption of the supervisor is recorded, which can be found in the internal treasury."

But Li Chengqian didn't believe Wan Kuan's words, he just asked: "With so much ore and coal, how many billets did the supervisor make?"

"this..."

Wan Wan hesitated.

Zhangsun Wuji and Li Chengqian saw Wan Kuan hesitate, and a hint of joy appeared on their faces.

And Fang Xuanling had an ominous premonition in his heart that today the prince was invited by the eldest grandson Wuji to deal with Wan Kuan.

This eldest grandson Wuji is really vicious, he even invited the prince over here.

At this time, everyone already understood in their hearts that the reason why the Crown Prince came today was because... Zhangsun Wuji invited him.

This uncle and nephew have a really close relationship.

At this time, Wan Kuan continued: "This problem, as long as the Crown Prince goes down and takes a look at it, he will know!"

Li Chengqian smiled disdainfully, this Wan Kuan did not dare to answer the question directly, it seemed that he was at a loss.

Chapter 75

In the Taiji Hall, most people bowed their heads and said nothing, sitting on the futon like a meditating Taoist priest.

Who cares who is unlucky in this kind of thing, how good it is to keep silent and watch the fun.

And Li Shimin, who was sitting at the top, looked at everyone's expressions, and then shook his head slightly.

As a foolish prince, being deceived and helping people with money is really annoying.

The crown prince was fooled so easily, how could he inherit the throne in the future? At this time, facing Li Chengqian's accountability, Wan Kuan just smiled slightly.

On the other side, Li Chengqian didn't know why, when he saw Wan Kuan's face, he felt an indescribable disgust.

.

Wan Kuan's face is so similar to his own that other ministers dare not look up, so they haven't noticed it yet.

If you put Wan Kuan and yourself on the same side, there is almost a [-]% resemblance.

Li Chengqian doesn't like people who look like him, because he will be the master of the Tang Dynasty in the future, and all the qualities in himself should be unique.
