Chapter 919 Great Court Meeting

Before dawn, Li Xiu yawned in the carriage, then picked up the teapot next to him and simmered the tea. The street outside was quiet. This was also a rare time for Chang'an City to be quiet in the day. After a while, the vendors who set up breakfast stalls would come out to do business. At that time, the entire Chang'an City would feel like they had woken up, and there was endless vitality everywhere.

Today is the last major dynasty meeting this year and the most grand dynasty meeting. Many officials from other places will take this opportunity to return to Beijing to report their duties, so Li Xiu usually does not attend the dynasty meeting, but this major dynasty meeting cannot be ignored. Even many officials who are elderly care at home will show their faces at the dynasty meeting.

When the carriage passed through Zhuque Street and came to the gate of the imperial city, many other carriages appeared around, all of which were officials who came to attend the court meeting. When some familiar officials met, they would greet them through the car window. Li Xiu rarely came to attend the court meeting, and only a few people familiar with Changsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling and others were familiar with the court, so they did not waste time here and let the carriage enter the city gate.

The grand dynasty meeting was held in Tai Chi Palace. Only this large-scale palace can accommodate so many people sitting together and chatting and fucking. In fact, the grand dynasty meetings are usually serious, and they usually discuss some major military and political affairs. However, because today's grand dynasty meeting is the last major dynasty meeting at the end of the year, the dynasty meeting will not discuss any major events at this time, but let the monarch and ministers connect with each other, and then discuss the dinner at the end of the year a few days later.

The so-called end-of-year dinner is actually a banquet for the ministers in the palace. After all, everyone has been busy for the Tang Dynasty for a year. As the boss, Li Shimin has to reward everyone no matter what. It is similar to the annual meeting of later companies. Everyone gathers together to have fun, and there will be a New Year gift for the next day.

It is precisely because of the above that Li Xiu got up early today, but he was in a relaxed mood, and even wondered in his heart how to celebrate this year. However, when he thought of the New Year, he thought that this might be the last New Year that Qi Niang had spent with him, and she would marry to America next year, which made Li Xiu feel sad.

After entering the Tai Chi Hall, the emcee immediately guided him to sit. With Li Xiu's rank, he naturally sat in the front row. Changsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling and others had already arrived early. Seeing Li Xiu, they greeted him one after another. However, Li Xiu saw Li Jing, whom he disliked the most. The relationship between them and their father and son had not eased. After meeting, they didn't even say a word. They were no longer surprised by others.

As time went by, almost all the officials who participated in the dynasty meeting came. Then the dynasty meeting officially began. With the eunuch's shout, Li Shimin also came out of the eyes of the crowd and ascended the throne. Then he looked around the ministers and then smiled and said, "Thank you all for your hard work. Since I ascended the throne, the people have been peaceful and the world is peaceful. Today, I and my good friends gather together in the palace. Let me report if you have anything to do!"

Compared to the seriousness of the court meetings, Li Shimin today is very approachable and his tone is also kind. It is indeed not easy for him this year. First, Li Yuan "died" and worked for half a year for funerals. In the second half of the year, he thought he could relax, but he didn't expect that Li Chengqian's legs were disabled again. However, these are all his family affairs. In comparison, the world is still very peaceful.

Hearing Li Shimin's praise, the ministers below all smiled a little, and then some people stood up to report the matter. However, I don't know if there was any secret agreement. Most of the things reported by these officials today were not bad things. For example, the official in charge of warehousing requested that several new granaries be built in various places. Because the grain output was too high, the original granaries were no longer enough. The general who came back from the border brought some tribes or small countries to the congratulations. For a moment, the entire hall was filled with joy.

But at this moment, Wei Zheng, who was sitting in the front row, stood up. As a result, everyone in the hall froze. Even Li Shimin on the throne could not help but frown, because Wei Zheng was a famous "crow mouth". As long as he spoke, there was basically nothing good.

"Report to Your Majesty, since the establishment of the Monks and Taoist Records, it has conducted assessments of monks and Taoists in Chang'an, Luoyang, Taiyuan and other places. Less than one in ten passes. Now they have been forced to return to secular life and are not allowed to use Buddhism and Taoism to preach. In addition, many illegal people in the Buddhist and Taoist religions have been punished, and a lot of property, land, etc. have been confiscated. This is the property and land account book that I have compiled. Please check it!" Wei Zheng took out a thick book book from his sleeve and presented it to the Tao with both hands.

Hearing that Wei Zheng was just reporting on the achievements of the monks and Taoists in this year, many people were relieved. Even Li Shimin on the throne could not help but smile, and then someone presented the account book to check it out in person. He even praised Wei Zheng in person for his good work.

At first, Li Xiu was relieved, but at this moment, he suddenly found that someone among the ministers was winking at him. When he looked carefully, it turned out to be Fu Yi. The old man was trying hard to wink at Li Xiu, and at the same time he was pointing at Wei Zheng anxiously. This made Li Xiu stunned at first, and then he realized that Fu Yi was Wei Zheng's deputy, and their personal relationship was also good. It seemed that Fu Yi seemed to know something, so he tried to wink at him, wanting to stop Wei Zheng.

Li Xiu had just thought of the above, and then he saw Wei Zheng's hand stretching into his sleeve. It seemed that he would report other things. It was probably why Fu Yi tried his best to wink at him. Although Li Xiu didn't know what Wei Zheng was going to report, he knew it was definitely not a good thing. So he immediately stepped forward and said: "Report to Your Majesty, since the establishment of the Financial Management Supervision Commission, it has built banks in Chang'an and Luoyang, and has initially realized the deposit and withdrawal of other places in the two places..."

Li Xiu immediately reported the financial management affairs, and by the way, he also asked for his two deputy, Xu Jingzong and Liu Rengui. And when he was talking, he deliberately or unintentionally blocked Wei Zheng. Most people would tactfully retreat when they encountered such a situation. After all, today's happy day is really not as good as Wei Zheng's disappointment.
