Emperor of the Tang Dynasty

"Besides... this is just gold and silver jewelry worth tens of millions of dollars, and it's not really tens of millions of dollars. Without the help of the Li's Chamber of Commerce of Erchen, who else in the Tang Dynasty could eat it? The next batch of gold and silver jewelry?"

To know that wanting to exchange treasures for money, it is also a technical job, especially when the number is particularly large.

If there is no channel and experience, it will become a large number of shots in the short term, which will lead to serious depreciation. In the end, this batch of gold and silver jewelry can be exchanged for millions of dollars. It is very good, which can be described as a huge waste.

But the imperial court had to replace it as soon as possible. Not only is the weather entering winter, but also the great famine has not yet passed. It really needs money, and as long as gold and silver jewelry cannot be exchanged for money, it is a pile of things that can only be viewed. It's really meaningless rubbish.

After he figured it out, Li Shimin was suddenly very tired and didn't want to speak.

"...Well, this time, after all, I have something to say first, you are tired from the long journey, go and rest first."

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Shimin turned around and left, not wanting to continue chatting with Pipiyou.

"It's alright," but Li You's persevering voice came from behind, "My son is a martial arts saint in the world, and his body and spirit are so good, how can he get tired so easily?"

Li Shimin's footsteps stopped.

"By the way, Royal Father, don't forget to reward this battle..."

Li Shimin was finally so angry that he laughed, how come you not only took five or six million dollars in vain in this battle, but in the end, I thanked you for rewarding you. You have taken all the cheapness in the world by yourself, right?

"Got it, shut up."

After Li Shimin said angrily, he added: "I have always been clear about rewards and punishments. Let's discuss it with the DPRK tomorrow."

During this whole conversation, Fang Xuanling, Wei Zheng and other close officials were stunned.

This... If someone else repeats the above conversation, I'm afraid that His Majesty would have killed him long ago, right?

Vaguely, they felt that Li Shimin and Li You had long since ceased to be an ordinary relationship between emperors and princes, or should be said to have transcended this level and no longer had the influence of this level of identity.

"His Majesty and His Royal Highness just now, it seems that they are not the emperor and the prince, but a simple father and son joking and talking..."

Fang Xuanling thought with great emotion, there was actually some emotion in his heart, but Xiao Yu scratched his hair, another thought arose in his heart, "His Royal Highness of Chu seems to be more deadly than me when he speaks... Why have I always been stared at and dismissed from office by His Majesty because of this, while His Royal Highness the King of Chu is still intact?"

……

The next day, Li Shimin really kept his promise and rewarded the hero this time on the court.

In addition to a group of generals and outstanding performers, Li Ji was rewarded with a lot of fields and property because he had just been reinstated and was not promoted immediately. Anyway, he had just looted Gaochang State's treasury, and Li Shimin was not spending very much. distressed.

And Su Dingfang, from the original Zuowei Zhonglang general, was awarded the Youtunwei general, and he was named the Duke of Linqing County.

Finally, the biggest highlight is here, and Li You, who is also the most successful in this battle, has the greatest achievements, so how will His Majesty reward His Royal Highness the King of Chu?

Many civil servants and generals were very curious. Facing these gazes, Li Shimin seemed to have made a decision long ago, and said lightly, "This time the King of Chu has made a lot of contributions, so... let's take the post of the Minister."

What fell at the same time as the voice was the sound of the jade slabs in the hands of countless ministers!

The whole place was silent!

Chapter 630 Are you going to make Li You the crown prince? !

All ministers and generals, without exception, widened their eyes and opened their mouths!

However, no one spoke, because they were all in shock and couldn't react.

The jade board on the ground, also known as the wat board, the hand board or the chao board, is a tool used by the ministers when they go to the palace and face the king. The words of the previous performance are recorded on the wat board to prevent forgetting.

But at this moment, whether it is the ivory jade board used by the fifth-rank officials or above, or the bamboo and wood jade boards used by the sixth-rank officials and below, all fell to the ground because of their subconscious letting go. It can be seen that Li Shimin's light words brought What a shock!

"Actually... it's the position of the official seal!?"

Before this, many people had speculated that His Majesty would reward His Royal Highness the King of Chu. First of all, the property was definitely not needed. After all, most of the property was brought back by His Royal Highness the King of Chu, and a small part of it was returned to Chu. His Royal Highness, it seems a little ridiculous.

Besides, who doesn't know that His Royal Highness the King of Chu's wealth is the best in the world?For the dignified richest man in the Tang Dynasty, there is basically no difference whether this property is rewarded or not.

So if it's a reward for power... it's really impossible to seal it. Although the term of office is until the end of the great famine, His Royal Highness the King of Chu is now in a state of regent and supervision of the country. How can he give him more power?

Therefore, the biggest possibility that many people speculate is the confiscation of land and fields.

However, they did not know that Li You had privately agreed with Li Shimin that he would arbitrarily designate a place to become a fief, so this reward could not be given.

But no matter how much they guessed, they never imagined that Li Shimin would let Li You be the minister!

You must know that although Datang is a system of three provinces and six ministries, in fact, since the first year of Zhenguan, there has been no Shangshu decree in the Shangshu Province!

And this situation has continued until the change of dynasty has not ended, and no one has ever served as a minister!

This is not because of how special the Prime Minister's position is, but because of the need to avoid it, so no one can hold the post of Shangshuling.

Just like the position of Admiral Tiance, Li Shimin was the only one from the beginning to the end, and just like the Ministry of People changed its name to the Ministry of Households after Li Shimin ascended the throne, the ancient times of the Celestial Dynasty paid great attention to this taboo.

And because Li Shimin served as Shangshuling during the Wude years, the position of Shangshuling, like Admiral Tiance, became exclusive to the emperor, and no one else was allowed to take it in order to avoid it!

This has also led to a long-term vacancy for the position of the highest official in Shangshu Province, but now His Majesty actually wants to confer the position of Shangshuling to His Royal Highness the King of Chu?

What's behind this move? !

In an instant, the brains of the ministers and officials began to run wildly, and the amount of information behind this move was so rich that it exploded!

"Could it be that……"

Almost at the same time, an extremely astonishing conjecture arose in the minds of many people.

"—Your Majesty wants to make His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu!?"

What kind of person can be qualified to hold the post exclusive to the emperor?
