Chapter 931(1/2)
Li Shimin's fists were tight and loose, and loose and tighter.
Duke Jiang and Shangshu Ling Chen Shuda were still chattering there. "Your Majesty, Hou Junji must kill. The earlier the kill, the better. You can't drag it down."
The Shangshu’s right servant Xiao Yu did not care about his past grudges and once again stood on the same front as Chen Shuda.
As for the other seven prime ministers, they still had the same attitude, and Hou Junji had to kill him.
Li Shimin was very disappointed.
Let Chen Shuda and Xiao Yu return to the prime minister, that is to let them disturb each other. He was dissatisfied with the Prime Ministers under the Secretariat to face him with unanimous position, hoping that the Prime Ministers could support themselves and be more obedient.
But what did these two old men do?
It has been almost three months since I returned to the court, and I have done two things.
One is to oppose the new policy, and the other is to urge Hou Junji to kill him.
Li Shimin did not want to abolish the new policy. Although he drove Li Chao and Ma Zhou, who presided over the new policy, did not mean that he even opposed the new policy. The new policy was a good thing. The treasury income of the imperial court increased greatly. At the same time, it also curbed the land annexation and population control of the powerful landlords, and also refreshed the official system.
In short, the new policy has not been implemented for a long time, but the benefits have been fully revealed. Li Shimin cannot abolish the new policy and return to the old path.
It is easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but it is difficult to go from extravagance to frugality.
Li Shimin really didn't want to let him live the poor days that he had before.
"Hou Junji is now seriously ill. If he wants to kill, he has to wait until his injury healed before he will start the trial." Li Shimin continued to drag on.
Killing the marquis and the marquis seems to have become a tool for the emperor to fight against the prime ministers.
The prime minister wanted to kill, but Li Shimin didn't want to kill him.
If he kills, then he will give in to the prime ministers. Wouldn't that mean that Li Chao is right and he is wrong?
In this matter, Li Shimin was like a turtle eating a weight and was determined.
This is even more firmer than his insistence on the new policy.
Chen Shuda also felt angry and even cowardly.
The re-image returned to the center, and it was almost three months, but he did nothing. He improved the new method and did not change it, and killed Hou Junji but failed.
The Shangshu Province is still full of the shadow of Li Chao everywhere, and everything here is still following the rules left by Li Chao. In the Shangshu Province, the old officials in the past have been almost cut off, and now they are all young people who have been selected by the official examination, capable officials in various places, young students from the Imperial College, etc.
These people are full of energy and are a good thing, but Chen Shuda just feels like he can't get in.
He urgently needed to do some major things, such as improving a new policy system, or killing Hou Junji.
Hou Junji's reputation is now completely terrible, and the whole world is calling for killing.
If he could kill Hou Junji, then his name would undoubtedly be established.
But the emperor just refused to kill him.
"Your Majesty, I am old, beg for bones!"
In the hall, no one expected that Chen Shuda would resign suddenly.
Li Shimin was also stunned.
What are the problems of these prime ministers? Why do they resign at any time?
"Sang Chen, don't say such angry words."
But Chen Shuda was not angry. It was three months since the end of the second year of Zhenguan. But what did he do this again? He did nothing and felt that he was just a redundant one.
Such a Shangshu Order is better than to be improper.
"I would like to kill Hou Junji. If Your Majesty does not agree today, I will resign."
Li Shimin was so angry that his liver hurt.
They are all bad things that Li Chao learned from him, and they often use resignation as a threat.
"I said that, let's talk about it when Hou Junji gets sick and goes through court for trial."
Chen Shuda stroked his long white beard. He was old and exhausted. If the emperor was willing to listen to the advice, he could do it for a few more years. But now, he is still nostalgic for what he is doing, so why would he go home and write a book?
"Resign!"
"Duke of Jiang."
"Your Majesty, today we will either kill Hou Junji or resign!"
Li Shimin snorted and refused to agree. He didn't believe that Chen Shuda would really resign.
As a result, Chen Shuda really took off his Liang Guan directly, turned around and left.
"Why!"
Li Shimin reached out to call him, but Chen Shuda ignored him and left very casually.
Li Shimin was so angry that he was about to stop.
"Xiao Yu, now you are the Shangshu Ling!"
Li Shimin said angrily.
Xiao Yu was in a complicated mood at this time. Seeing his old friends leaving for so carefreely, he felt a little admiration and even envious. This kind of freedom and freedom is too carefree.
"Your Majesty, I would like to kill Hou Junji, abolish the new laws, and return peace to the world!"
Xiao Yu came to his senses and raised his scepter and said.
"Don't mention the matter of Hou Junji again."
"The new law will not be abolished!"
Xiao Yu stopped talking and took off the Liang Guan on his head.
Li Shimin was anxious, "Duke Song, what are you doing!"
"Since Your Majesty cannot listen to my words, what's the point of staying in the center? Is it a signature Shangshu Order?"
After saying that, Xiao Yu also turned around and left, chasing Chen Shuda.
"Wait, you'll be back!" Li Shimin shouted, but Xiao Yu ignored it. The prime ministers of the Tang Dynasty were so free and easy. The prime ministers ruled the world with the king, not everything was listened to the emperor.
Now Li Shimin is unwilling to follow the past agreement, so it would be better if the prime minister is not right.
Li Shimin just watched Chen Shuda and Xiao Yu step out of the hall gate, and he had the intention of killing people in his heart. But he was helpless. The Tang Dynasty did not have such a tradition.
The emperor is not a one-man rule. The prime ministers have extremely high authority and reputation. If they really want to leave, the emperor will have no choice.
"Yu Wenshi, now you are Shangshu Ling!"
Yu Wenshi was a little helpless. It was difficult to be a Shangshu Ling. It took only how long before the three Shangshu Ling had resigned one after another.
"Your Majesty, what kind of virtue is me? I dare to take this important task. Please take it back."
Yu Wen Shi and refused.
"Wuji, you come to be the Minister of the Shangshu!"
Li Shimin looked at his brother-in-law Changsun Wuji again.
As a result, Shangshu Zuo Pushe Changsun Wuji refused to accept it.
After asking several questions, no one was willing to be the Shangshu Ling, which made Li Shimin's face so angry that he turned purple. When did Shangshu Ling become a hot potato, they refused to accept it.
In the end, Li Shimin had to take a step back and let Yu Wenshi and take over the position of Shangshu Youpushe.
There were only seven prime ministers under the Secretary of the Central Committee.
Looking at the remaining seven prime ministers, Li Shimin was really worried that they would ask for the killing of the marquis and left directly.
On that day, Li Shimin asked the eunuch Wang to pass the imperial edict at the Secretariat. The emperor was unwell and did not take the court to take matters for the time being. His Highness the Crown Prince continued to be regent, and the prime ministers under the Secretariat assisted the prince in governing the government.
The emperor and the prime ministers were angry, but the result was that two more prime ministers resigned and the Shangshu Order was vacant.
The people of Xiangyang City felt very enjoyable during this period, and there were constant dramas. Such a wonderful court situation has caused the sales of Times and Banyuetan to surge again. The Banyuetan had exceeded 30,000, and the Times also exceeded 20,000.
As for the Hanjing News, because it is the official mouthpiece, it has been hiding the current affairs of the court, and sales have not increased but decreased.
The Times and Banyuetan are becoming more and more bold now, and they don’t shy away from talking about these current affairs.
The students of the Imperial College, the students of the martial arts hall, and the young scholars all went to the newspaper to express their opinions and attacked traitors like Hou Junji.
He even scolded the prime minister for being incompetent.
However, when Xiao Yu and Chen Shuda resigned, they were praised by many people.
Li Shimin retreated back to the deep palace and did not leave, and did not see the prime minister or treat the matter, but he had to read newspapers and listen to the reports of the Six Gates every day.
The more you read the newspaper, the more angry he becomes.
"This half month talk and the Times are simply fanning the flames and provoking trouble!"
Li Shimin slapped the table.
He has always supported these two newspapers very much, and even asked them to publish the imperial palace newspapers and let them use the imperial court's post system. But what are they writing now?
It's getting more and more excessive.
These two newspapers are industries under Li Chao's name. Is this behind-the-scenes instruction from Li Chao?
