That night, the story of the prince slapping Gongsun Chong spread.

The next day's small court meeting attracted many impeachments.

Li Shilong frowned, "Chengqian, why did you slap Gongsun Chong?"

Li Xin bowed and said what he thought, "A few days ago, my eighth brother built a nursing home. My son said that he would support him with all his strength.

Gongsun Chong repeatedly said that the Donggong Treasury was not enough to block the money and silver. The son minister was angry for a moment and could not control his temper!"

These remarks made the expressions of the people present soothe a lot.

So that's it.

"Even so, you shouldn't have hit anyone. He also thinks about the East Palace. If you do this, who dares to give you advice in the future?"

"My son is wrong, but he shouldn't insult the son in front of everyone to ask for face. Supporting the elderly is a great good thing. I will do my best to govern the country with filial piety. Even if my son really wants face, he is willing to empty the treasury! "Li Xin quickly knelt on his knees.

This operation made people look at it with admiration.

Ji Zhisheng stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, the prince is extremely affectionate and kind, and is willing to attach the tail to the East Palace with the Eighth Prince. Even if there are minor mistakes, the flaws will not cover up the merits.

On the contrary, the Eighth Prince, who has taken so many things but has not made any achievements, is not worthy of it.

Furthermore, the Eighth Prince has long been adults. Last year, His Majesty had given him the title of king and vassal state. The Princess of Yue also has a son, so it should be the vassal state.

For the sake of the country that is doing big, please make a decision early!"

Ji Zhisheng's statement was very straightforward, and this was also the first knife he drew when he returned to the capital.

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone agreed.

"Ji Jijiu's words are reasonable. Please give your Majesty the priority to the country and the country!"

Li Shilong said lightly: "The Ba Lao has dispersed all the fiefs of Yuezhou, given the people of the fiefs to pay taxes for the dynasty, and only a place to settle down, and it will be a feudal matter sooner or later, but the royal palace is still under construction. , After the construction is completed, it is not too late to be a vassal!

What you said is not clear, but the treasury is empty, and there are six or seven princes suitable for the vassal. If they are allowed to leave, the treasury will be unsustainable!

Let’s talk about it on a date!”

"What Your Majesty says is not false!" The clan's clan asked Li Daoyuan to stand out and said: "There are six princes who are suitable for the vassal. This year, seven princes will get married. If the vassal is pretending to be a vassal, they will be rewarded with no less than one million!"

"Xiangru, how much money does the treasury still have?"

Qin Xiangru is now temporarily acting as the Minister of Revenue and stands out and says: "Your Majesty, the national treasury has less than 300,000 taels of silver!"

"Did you hear it? What can I do if I get such a little money?" Li Shilong waved his hand.

"If you don't have any money, you can just go to the vassal state. Just keep everything simple. When the empress comes to the capital, he knows that the eighth prince is quite famous, so he probably won't care about these things.

Your Majesty should not make this bad news, so as not to learn later!" Ji Zhisheng bowed.

"This matter is being discussed later!" Li Shilong said: "Let's talk about the tribute from the vassal states."

The Minister of the Honglu Tang Jian made a list, "Your Majesty, the Honglu Temple has received the Uighurs, Marine, Tiel, Shiwei, Khitan, Siam, Zhenla, Sulu, Japan... all sent envoys Come, and there are also Tubo envoys!"

"oh?"

Everyone was surprised at this moment.

The Tubo wolf was ambitious and had always been in a big fight. At that time, Emperor Zhou also wanted to destroy Tubo, but the Tubo terrain was too high and their soldiers would be exhausted when they went up.

More than ten years ago, the Great Killing destroyed the Zhou Dynasty. At the beginning of the founding of the country, Tubo became an accomplice of the Huns.

He persuaded Tubo to retreat with his wife, which retained his national strength for the big cause.

The two have been in peace for more than ten years and have little communication, but they have been on guard against each other.

"A messenger has also come to Tubo?"

"Report to Your Majesty, Tubo Zanpu and Lobuzadui (the meaning of the lion on the grassland), I proclaimed myself in Tubo, and specially sent envoys to exchange documents!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone was furious, "What, they dare to call themselves emperor, who gave them the courage?"

Li Cungong took the lead in leaving the list, "Your Majesty, Tubo wolf ambitions, and will be the emperor today, and I will dare to knock on the gate tomorrow.

Dagan was first established, and the state affairs were weak, the Huns attacked, Tubo coerced, and Princess Jing'an married, which was a humiliation of Dagan!"

Cheng Sanfu was even more furious, "Your Majesty, I, Cheng, can't bear it anymore. Please give me tens of thousands of troops to kill the generals and destroy the Tubo!"

Compared to the Huns, they hated Tubo even more.

Xu Shichang also stood up and roared: "Your Majesty, you have been preparing for war for decades. It's time to take revenge."

Liu Chenghu and Qin Xiangru looked at each other and also made a list together, "I am willing to lead the troops to destroy Tubo!"

Yuchi Xinxiong did not attend court, but two days ago, Li Shilong issued an order to ask him to assist the Thunder Army, so he had to come.

At this moment, he left the line quietly. For the generals, that battle was a shame!

It is also a shame for Li Shilong!

But at this time, Ji Zhisheng came out and said, "Your Majesty, we have to discuss the matter of sending troops again. Luo Buzadui was obviously trying to make a big move when he was elected emperor this time. If he sent troops rashly, he would not have fallen into the other party's plan.

Moreover, the national treasury is empty and the drought in the capital has emerged. The northwest is waiting for the relief of the court. At that time, the people in the country may be in poverty!”

Ji Zhisheng's basin of water destroyed the passion of the general.

Cheng Sanfu said angrily: "How can you allow others to sleep soundly beside the bed? I, Cheng, have no education, and everyone knows this. You are the grandson of a saint, and you don't understand this?

If you don’t say anything today, these puppies will dare to come to bully the border tomorrow. It will be too late to make plans at that time!"

"Then what's the fight? Your Majesty can't even take out the rewards of the vassal!" Ji Zhisheng responded to Cheng Sanfu with Li Shilong's original words, and directly made Cheng Sanfu speechless.

Li Shilong was even more angry.

Du Jingming also said: "Tubo is not allowed to be called emperor. He can be a vassal state, a king can be established, but not an emperor!

However, Your Majesty and Ji Jijiu's words were also steady. Natural disasters in China have already begun, and hundreds of thousands of people were needed to send troops to attack Tubo.

It is very stressful for the court and the world.

If I am less corvee-service, I will have at least 100,000 yuan.

How many people can go home with this labor service?”

Yu Boshi, the then secretary-general and Xing'an County Gong, also listed: "Your Majesty, the best way is to first figure out the purpose of the visit and strengthen the border defense. If you can, you will drag it down until I can get rid of internal worries. Come on, otherwise it will be the end of the power.

If you cannot conquer it for a long time, you will use the national strength to do it again. This is a battle that affects the national destiny, so you should not be hasty!"

Yu Boshi is a low-key person and talks little, but Li Shilong will listen carefully when he speaks.

He is similar to Liang Zheng, a person who dares to advise him, but this person is quite interesting. He only speaks on major events and almost doesn't say anything about minor events.
