Emperor of the Tang Dynasty

"It's very possible...but why should the civil servants be called in too?"

Many people were puzzled, but they didn't delve too much into it, they just thought that they would naturally know when the meeting began.

Sure enough, Li Shimin began to frantically scold all the military generals after the ceremony began, apparently still angered by what happened yesterday.

Seeing this scene, many civil officials seemed a little gloating. After all, civil and military officials have been opposed to each other in the imperial court since ancient times, so it is a pleasure to see the other side unlucky.

What's more, many courtiers feel that they deserve it, even during the New Year, they shouldn't be so slack, to let a killer directly break into the Chenxi Palace, this is really absurd!

"Could it be that the royal father convened the imperial court urgently just for this matter?"

Although Li You was a personal experiencer at the time, he was a little disappointed at this time.

He frowned and glanced at the circle of ministers and officials, and found that among the ministers and officials, only the Minister of the Household, Tang Jian, had the same complex expression, and he couldn't see the feeling of watching the fun that had nothing to do with him.

Seeing Tang Jian's bitter expression, Li You immediately made up his mind.

Steady!

Because what he was waiting for had a lot to do with the Ministry of Household!

"...Okay, you all step back, I don't want to see this kind of thing happen a second time in the future!"

After a long time, Li Shimin finally finished scolding.

"Don't be slack because of the New Year, on the contrary, because it is during the New Year, you must be more vigilant!"

"Yes! Follow the order!"

A group of generals responded in unison with cold sweats on their heads. After all, what happened yesterday was indeed a shame for their generals, and it was also the biggest gaffe!

Li Shimin nodded, and then looked at the Manchu civil and military.

"All of you Ai Qing must be very strange, why did I call you here during the Chinese New Year?"

This time, the military officials are all stunned, what?Wasn't it because the killer sneaked into the palace yesterday?

Li Shimin continued to take care of himself: "Speaking of this reason, it is basically because of the King of Chu, and it is because of him that I know such absurd things!"

……

In the second half of this sentence, Li Shimin seemed to be excited, and the gloomy meaning in his tone made everyone shudder.

All of a sudden, the eyes of everyone present were focused on Li You.

It's you again!His Royal Highness the King of Chu!

Why do all the big news seem to be related to you... It's because you're doing things again, so we can't have a holiday, right?

But this time they really wronged Li You, because Li Shimin felt absurd, and Li You's role in it was just an introduction.

Soon, Li Shimin went on to say: "Why do I say this, it is because of the method of reshaping the currency of the King of Chu, I don't know how many big fish have been caught!"

After Li You's policy of reshaping the currency was implemented, all the landlords and tycoons who had hoarded money at home had to take out all their property and exchange it for new currency at the government.

Otherwise, the money they have accumulated will turn into a pile of scrap metal, so this is a disguised way of forcing them to announce the real amount of property to the court!

This is an inevitable additional effect of reshaping monetary policy, and Li You has long anticipated this - his eyes lit up immediately, and he realized that the opportunity he was waiting for had finally come! .

Chapter 713 One step counts as a hundred steps! (Second more)

But is Li You's target this time, those aristocratic families and landlords?

That's not the case... Although these dignitaries are old friends of Li You, but Li You has attacked them many times, there is no need to wait for the opportunity to continue to attack them.

Moreover, after all, Datang is still a class society composed of countless noble families. This is the foundation of Datang society. Unless Li You wants to turn Datang upside down, it is impossible to completely suppress them.

Everything must have a degree, and Li You knows this very well. You can't force those noble families too hastily. After all, dogs will bite people when they are in a hurry.

Therefore, Li You is waiting for someone else this time!

"Maoyue, come out and talk!" Li Shimin snorted coldly at this time. "Nine Eight Seven"

"Yes."

Maoyue is Tang Jian's word, he took a deep breath and stood up to face this civil and military officials, a rare state of great pressure.

This appearance suddenly made everyone even more surprised. You must know that Tang Jian is also an old fried dough stick as one of the six dignified books. How could he be nervous like a novice?

Then what is he going to say next, so that even he feels so much pressure! ?

"After the implementation of His Highness the King of Chu's law of reshaping the currency, financial reports from various local governments are constantly being passed back to the imperial court. Among them, we found that the largest part is not local wealthy businessmen and landlords in many states and counties, but From an object we hadn't thought of at all..."

Tang Jian paused for a while, then said word by word, "That's a Buddhist temple!"

Almost as soon as Tang Jian finished speaking, all the civil and military people of the dynasty shook their bodies, and understood why Tang Jian felt a lot of pressure.

After all, this is Buddhism!

In the whole country of the Tang Dynasty, I don’t know how many people are followers of Buddhism, and Tang Jian’s move is like taking the lead in attacking Buddhism. I don’t know how much people will be reviled.

"Wait, you mean..." Wei Zheng responded quickly, "The money hoarded by those Buddhist temples in many states and counties even exceeds that of the local wealthy businessmen and landlords!?"

After Wei Zheng said this, everyone realized the point, and all looked serious.

That's right, the real point is not that Tang Jian attacked Buddhism, but that those monks who professed money to be something outside themselves are actually so rich?

And there is money to be much richer than those aristocratic families!
