Chapter 68: How Powerful Is the Mansion of the Han Dynasty?

An error occurred while processing s private files

Changsun Kangning did not refuse directly, but gave excuses for various reasons. In short, in the past few months, the United Chamber of Commerce has borrowed about 60 million yuan of money and other war materials from the court, which is the limit that the United Chamber of Commerce can raise. Although the Western Expedition has been victorious, the money borrowed from the United Chamber of Commerce has not been wasted, in terms of the current severe situation of the split between China and Earth, the war will continue. The reform of the financial system implemented by the court will not see any results in the short-term. In particular, the reform of the tax system directly caused the reduction of the court's tax revenue, and the court will actually be unable to repay the huge amount of money in the next few years. In this case, the court repeatedly borrowed from the United Chamber of Commerce, which was not just a short-sighted behavior of fishing out of the pond, but also seriously hindered the development of industry and commerce, and then led to the court's financial reform being left empty talk and unable to be implemented.

Therefore, Changsun Kangning had reason to suspect that this was a conspiracy of the court. He first plundered the wealth of wealthy merchants and wealthy merchants for high-sounding reasons, and then waited for an opportunity to deal a heavy blow, so as to achieve the purpose of cracking down on the development of industry and hindering the reform.

Changsun Kangning's words made Li Gang furious. Li Gang is upright, and straightforward people generally have a big temper and cannot tolerate sand in their eyes. Changsun Kangning openly confronts the court, suspecting that the court is sinister, which is really intolerable. Li Gang yelled at Changsun Kangning, "Your

Only the princess can borrow money, but I can't. Could it be that the Han Palace has more power than my East and West Mansions?"

Dong Xiaochou's face changed when he heard it. Can such words be said? You, Li Gang, are the prime minister. The consequences of a country's prime minister say such words are too serious. Are you making the conflict public? What are the benefits of stabilizing the situation in Chang'an? Dong Xiaochou wanted to persuade him, but when he saw Li Gang so angry that he opened his eyes wide open, his face was red and his neck was so thick that he breathed. He didn't dare to do anything. At this time, he was adding fuel to the fire. Dong Xiaochou shook his head secretly. Sometimes he saw Li Gang roaring in the court like a rebellious wild bull. He was wondering, why did Li Hu want Li Gang to be the prime minister? With Li Gang's personality as prime minister, the power struggle will be open and intense. What are the benefits of this for the situation? He couldn't figure it out and didn't know what Li Hu meant.

Changsun Kangning was calm and fearless. He thought to himself that Li Gang's words were right. Although the power of the Han Palace could not be greater than that of the two palaces, the owner of the Han Palace was Li Hu, and Li Hu's power was above the court. Of course, I had to lend the money to Li Hu, and then Li Hu put the money into the treasury and allocated it to the court. To a certain extent, this is also one of the important means to ensure that Li Hu's authority and ensure that Li Hu can firmly control the court. In this world, money is needed for anything, the court has no money, the salary and subsidies of the bureaucrats cannot be distributed, and no one can support them.

, What country can you govern?

Li Gang came to borrow money, and Changsun Kangning borrowed it. If he borrowed this money, Li Gang would be able to control it freely, and Li Hu would be passive. In fact, to put it bluntly, behind power, in addition to force, there are also financial resources. These are the two foundations that support the existence of power, and neither is missing. In this era, the size of financial resources was not real money, silver, but actual materials such as food and silk. Under similar conditions, it is beyond doubt that whoever controls more materials will be stronger.

At present in Chang'an, even if Li Gang is Changsun Kangning's biological father, Changsun Kangning will not lend him money. This is related to the issue of "striving the team". If Changsun Kangning wants a bright future, he must hold Li Hu's thighs tightly and stand in the same team with the Huli Ren, otherwise he will be dead.

Changsun Kangning clearly stated that he would not lend money. I would not lend it to you if I have money, nor to the court, but to Li Hu and Hu Lie Mansion. What can you do to me?

Li Gang was so angry that he gritted his teeth. The road ahead is still long, let's take a look... Li Gang left in anger.

He came today and borrowed money in the name of the court, which was also a matter of fact.

After some consideration, he must understand whether Li Hu's power in Chang'an was uncontrollable after he successfully destroyed the Western Expedition and achieved remarkable merits, whether Li Hu's power in Chang'an was unstoppable, whether the ministers in the Council Hall became decorations after the emperor, and whether the East and West Mansions became the executive bodies of the Grand Marshal's Mansion.

The result of the temptation made him very angry and painful. He didn't know what method to save the Song Dynasty. He had to choose between maintaining the Zhao Emperor and the people of Middle-earth. It is foreseeable what choice to make with his character, but it means that he was killed and his strength could not compete with Li Hu at all. The only thing he could do was delay Li Hu's pace of usurping the Song Dynasty and looking for opportunities to turn the tide.

Li Gang sat in the carriage and thought for a long time. When the carriage drove into the palace and arrived at the capital hall (the lobby of the meeting hall, which was the place where the prime minister handled government affairs.), he found that Dong Xiaochou had entered the Privy Council, and he forgot to say hello. Today, he blurted out in anger and said the words buried in his heart. Dong Xiaochou might not tell the princess of Han, but Changsun Kangning would definitely say that this would inevitably anger the princess of Han, so he hoped that Dong Xiaochou would come forward to mediate and try to ease the conflict between the court and the Hu Lie Mansion.

The princess is no longer the little woman who was humbly studying from Li Gang in western Liaoning and in Datong. In the past few years, Li Hu fought south and north, and Hu Lie's military and political affairs were basically represented by Luo Sinan. Therefore, Luo Sinan grew up quickly and gradually formed a strong and domineering style of conduct. The formation of this style is certainly related to her desire to strongly control the domineering military commanders in the Hu Lie Army, and it is also inseparable from her own personality. In comparison, Li Hu's style of conduct was very smooth and flexible. In Chang'an, Li Hu gave enough face to the emperor and the court, and any decision had to go through the final agreement in the deliberation hall. Even if there was a dispute, it was mainly persuasion and rarely acted arbitrarily. Although the results were the same, this process allowed the prime ministers to fully exercise the power of participating in politics and political affairs, and the conflicts between the two sides were eased, avoiding unnecessary conflicts and troubles.

Luo Sinan arrived in Chang'an, and her strong and domineering style also followed. The situation in Chang'an became tense. The conflict between the Grand Marshal's Mansion, Hu Lie Mansion and the convention hall became more and more intense. Li Hu went to the front line to fight, and he handed over the specific implementation of the reform to Luo Sinan, and Luo Sinan's domineering style was just conducive to the implementation of the reform policy. The current convention hall has become a communicator, and various decisions are handed over to the three provinces and the 12th House of the Privy Council for implementation, and the prime ministers have become decorations. However, Luo Sinan did not let them idle either. Li Fu now specially organized disciples of Guanxue to conduct academic research, and Luo Sinan hoped that Xinguanxue would

In line with the needs of change and serve the change. Zhao Mingcheng specializes in the reform of the imperial examination system. Liu, as the envoy of the court, went to various places to supervise the collection of taxes. Li Gang wanted to lead the three provinces and other institutions in the East Prefecture. He had a lot of things and could not get idle even if he wanted to.

Luo Sinan's domineering behavior of monopolizing power certainly aroused the anger of a considerable number of officials. Many people could not control their letters to impeach, or criticize them in court and other occasions. Luo Sinan's methods were very powerful. As long as she knew about it, she would immediately drive out of Chang'an. She would be lucky to work in the local area, and would be dismissed directly.

Li Gang has quarreled with Luo Sinan more than once about this matter. The relationship between the two sides is very tense now, but considering the current situation, Li Gang still tries to restrain himself. After all, Luo Sinan is behind the scenes and he is in front of the scenes. Once the conflict becomes public, the consequences will be unpredictable. Fortunately, the victory of the Western Expedition was over and Li Hu will be back soon, and the painful days of these months have finally come to an end.

Li Gang got off the carriage and walked towards the Privy Council. Today's affairs require Dong Xiaochou to come forward, and he himself is unwilling to apologize to Luo Sinan, and he is even more unwilling to condescend to the Han Palace. The prime minister's face is still maintained.

Dong Xiaochou played a balanced role in Chang'an's political landscape, which is also an important reason why Li Hu asked Luo Qinghan to lead the army outside and asked him to preside over the Privy Council in Chang'an.

Even without Li Gang's entrustment, Dong Xiaochou would personally rush to the Han Palace to explain to Luo Sinan, so as not to suddenly intensify the conflict between the two. At dusk, Dong Xiaochou drove his horse to the Han Palace. In the study, he not only saw Luo Sinan, but also Changsun Kangning. This guy was indeed fast. Seeing his smiling face, he obviously had a very pleasant conversation with Luo Sinan.

Luo Sinan just asked Dong Xiaochou to sit down, but Changsun Kangning stood up and said goodbye and left.

"What are he here to do?" Dong Xiaohou asked with a smile, "Those people still want to rush to Helan Mountain immediately?"

"I think it's better to let them go." Luo Sinan said, "The northwest urgently needs stability. The recovery of Ling and Xia areas also requires them to contribute money and efforts. Since the Grand Marshal does not come back for the time being, it's better to let them rush to Helan Mountain as soon as possible and discuss some specific methods with the Grand Marshal to speed up the stability of the Northwest."

"The Northwest War has just ended, everything is very messy, and the general is eager to consolidate the army and divide new administrative areas. There are so many things, so how can we pay attention to them?" Dong Xiaohou shook his head, "Their purpose is to grab money and land, which can only cause trouble for the general and cannot help at all."

"I have reminded Changsun Kangning this." Luo Sinan smiled, "I told him that the northwest is now divided into three major pieces, among which Pingxia Road is led by Yun Shuai and Gui Shuai. These two are from horse thieves, so it is not easy to grab the benefits from them. Although the Grand Marshal has made promises to the United Chamber of Commerce, if these promises are fully fulfilled, they still need the strong help of these two people, so many things can be discussed directly with Yun Shuai and Gui Shuai without bothering the Grand Marshal."

Dong Xiaochou immediately heard something from Luo Sinan's words. He hesitated for a moment and asked, "Is this what the Grand Marshal mean?"

"I know I can't hide it from you." Luo Sinan smiled and said, "The Grand Marshal said that this time, Yun Shuai and Gui Shuai handed over the army very readily, and we can't treat them unfairly."

Dong Xiaochou frowned slightly. Li Hu did not report the decision to consolidate the Northwest Army to the court in advance, so when the news came back, everyone was surprised,
