The first rebel of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 840 A Heavy Price

In Daming Palace.

Li Shimin is above the hall.

The civil and military officials are listed on the left and right.

Officials report.

"Report to Your Majesty! Gao Shilian unfortunately died of illness yesterday!"

Li Shimin was a little depressed.

Gao Shilian's death was also an accident.But there is no way!He was too old and had cholera again!
It was also caused by Li Chengqian's negligence.

Maybe it was infected by Li Chengqian, after all, he went to see him alone!
Now the relatives of Empress Changsun are decreasing one by one.

Regarding this matter, he did not want to tell Empress Zhangsun for the time being.

So he said: "You can't talk about this matter with the queen! Let's talk about it later!"

Everyone agrees.

Then, he said again: "Gao Shilian has devoted a lot to the Tang Dynasty in his life. Although he is no longer an official, he has done his best. He is also a relative of the emperor. Treat his descendants well!"

By doing this, he will not chill everyone's hearts.

In this way, it is also a good thing for Gao Shilian.

At the same time, Empress Changsun would not say anything.

What a sin.

All the dead are dead, and the living must live well.

Li Yin has one less enemy.

How lonely it is to be invincible!

Next, Fang Xuanling's speech made everyone come out of sadness.

He opened the mouth and said: "Now all the high-risk people in Chang'an have been vaccinated with the first dose of vaccine, and the second dose will be vaccinated in three days. Some are oral, and there are two more doses to be taken!"

"In this way, that's great!"

"Yes, the quarantine in many places has been lifted, and today will be the last day of quarantine. As the people resume production, the vaccines will spread around. And these vaccines are all produced by the Shengtang Group. The sixth prince will bear the cost , This time the cost is huge, I thought to myself..."

Fang Xuanling hesitated.

And finally said:

"I thought to myself, why don't you reward Sheng Tang Group with something? To show the greatness of the emperor's favor!"

His words aroused the assent of the crowd.

Everyone said it was something they had to do.

Otherwise, the court will have no credibility in the future.

This is not good for the court.

Moreover, Li Yin does not know how much this epidemic cost.

It is also a huge blow to Chang'an's economy.

Although the fight against the epidemic is good for Li Yin.

But the people don't think so.

Who is good to them, who they remember.

For Li Shimin's Datang, the benefits are the greatest.

Therefore, Fang Xuanling deliberately asked Li Shimin to subsidize some money to Li Yin, and also posted the imperial list to let everyone in the world know. I don't know, the court also contributed.

For people's hearts, it is very unfavorable to Li Shimin.

Li Shimin was silent.

He didn't know how to help Li Yin.

tips?

How much is the reward?

That money is a huge amount. If you give Li Yin 1 taels of silver, people still look down on your money.

The money spent by others may be in the billions.

Your [-] is just one ten-thousandth of it.

What should I do?
other methods?Not reliable!

Li Shimin was still thinking about what to do.

I can't think of it for a while.

He said: "Fang Xuanling, let's talk about this later!"

Fang Xuanling hesitated.

How can we talk about this later!
Li Shimin also said:
"From now on, September [-]th will be designated as National Day of Remembrance. Every year on this day, the whole country mourns!"

"Your Majesty is wise!"

The ministers said!

wise?Isn't this what he should do?

At this time, a eunuch came up and said: "Your Majesty, the Supreme Emperor has taken back to Daming Palace, and now he is resting in the palace!"

Not only Li Yuan, but also Li Lizhi and other princes and princesses were brought back.

Because it is safe now and they have been vaccinated, they no longer have to be afraid of cholera.

As for Li Yuan's situation is special.

Because for a while, he refused to come back to Daming Palace.

But because of the epidemic again, he gave up the ward. Now, the family group does not accept him, and Li Shimin also issued an order to let him come back.

So, he's back.

"Okay, I got it! Take good care of the Supreme Emperor and make no mistakes!"

"Yes!"

Someone asked Li Shimin if he wanted to see it?
Li Shimin pretended not to hear.

visit?Li Yuan was so angry that he didn't go last time!

At this time, Li Shimin avoided the subject and asked the officials again.

"Is there anything else? If there is nothing else, retreat!"

Is this about to retreat?
Some people can't stand it anymore.

Is this over?
Shouldn't you give Li Yin something?

Li Shimin can't be so heartless.

If he doesn't do something, it will not be a good thing for the court.

It may even affect his approval rating, and his future rule will be in danger.

So, Li Jing stood up.

Said: "Your Majesty, I have a copy here, which is a petition from the people of Chang'an. They ask Your Majesty to reward the Sixth Prince!"

Li Shimin was shocked, it seemed that he couldn't escape.

Even the people came out to speak.

How long can he escape?

He waited until he saw Dai Zhou before he made a decision.

Maybe that can be done.

So, he said: "Okay, I know, if I don't reward him, the common people probably won't agree. So, I decided..."

Everyone fell silent.

What did he decide to do?
How much do you want to give Li Yin?or something else?For example, restore the status of the prince and directly give him the position of the prince? !Circle the successor?
A lot of doubts speculated in the minds of the officials.

However, Li Shimin didn't do that!
He said: "I have decided to exempt Shengtang Group from paying taxes for one month!"

哗

The crowd was in an uproar.

What kind of reward is this.

How much money do you have a month?

Just when everyone thought Li Shimin was stingy.

Li Shimin also saw everyone's confusion.

So, let Dai Zhou say: "Dai Zhou, what is the current monthly tax of Shengtang Group?"

Dai Zhou immediately said: "Now Shengtang Group's tax in January has reached two levels of [-] million!"

When his words came out, everyone was even more shocked.

So, how much is the group's income per month?

Terrible, really terrible.

It would be a heartache for the imperial court to collect so much less money.

But this is what Li Shimin had to do.

If you give money, people don't necessarily have to accept it.

And how much to give is another question.

With tax cuts, it's different.

After everyone understood it, they immediately stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty is wise!"

Li Shimin signaled everyone to get up, turned around, and announced his retreat.

At this time, he was very heartbroken.

But can't show it.

Just looking for someone to chat with.

Empress Changsun didn't know about Gao Shilian yet, so he didn't want to look for her for the time being, so he walked to Concubine Yang's bedroom.

Came here unconsciously.

When he arrived, he saw many people at the door, and he was very puzzled.

What is this doing?
