The first rebel of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 923 Li Er: Damn sense of substitution

When Fang Xuanling and Zhu Shan first arrived at the Daming Palace, they heard Li Shimin discussing some matters with the ministers.

It's about the tram.

A courtier said: "Your Majesty, the frequency of people traveling by tram in Chang'an has increased recently. We have completed the first phase of the project, and the next two and three phases will start. Please give your Majesty instructions!"

Li Shimin said: "Just leave it to the Ministry of Industry to implement it, don't ask me!"

He didn't understand why he had to ask him this matter.

However, the people below said:
"Your Majesty, the minister of the Ministry of Industry said that he cannot make a conclusion. He said that too much money has been allocated to the frontier recently. Now it is not appropriate to build a new track. Therefore, he dare not make a conclusion, but I think it is related to people's livelihood. Things can be promoted and will speed up the development of Datang!"

So the Minister of the Ministry of Industry is stuck and doesn't listen to them?

During this period of time, Li Shimin spent too much money.

He didn't feel it when he spent it.

But the people below are very understanding.

If we continue to spend like this, the national treasury will be in short supply again.

Once it loses money, it will not be a good thing for Datang, and the previous things may happen again.

Over the past year or so, it has been hard for the treasury to have some money.

Now, has it become the same as before?

This is simply unacceptable.

The minister's words made Li Shimin silent.

Yes, this has to be thought about carefully.

He fell into deep thought.

How to do?
To build or not to build?
If built, it can speed up the economy.

Do not build it?
The economic growth rate will be slower, but more stable.

If the [-] million taels hadn't been spent at that time, let alone the second and third installments now, even a few more installments would be nothing!

Before he could reply, Fang Xuanling and Zhu Shan walked in together.

The two came in and attracted the attention of the ministers.

Only now did Zhu Shan see that most of the courtiers here were Jinshi under Li Yin's subordinates.

Now that they are in important positions, they will naturally participate in this discussion.

At this time Li Shimin stared at the two for a long time.

Because the probability of two people appearing at the same time is almost non-existent, and now, two people did appear at the same time.

He glanced at Zhu Shan again, his appearance represented one point, that is, he must have something to do with Li Yin.

At the same time, he asked curiously: "Fang Xuanling, what do you need from me?"

"Your Majesty, please read this! These are some novels sent by Zhu Shan. They have already been circulated among the people!"

Li Shimin wondered.

Let yourself read novels at this time?
Don't you see that you are dealing with state affairs?
But Fang Xuanling is a loyal minister after all, he must know what can be done and what cannot be done.

So, patiently said: "What novel, what is it written in? Is it good?"

Fang Xuanling didn't dare to say it, but said: "Your Majesty, you have to take a look at this. It seems inappropriate for me to say it now."

Talk about a novel, isn't it appropriate?
Could it be that this novel will kill people?
"Bring it up!"

But he still said with a straight face.

Then, an eunuch presented the novel to him.

He casually opened a book and read it.

Seeing this, I was immediately attracted.

Because it was written by Li Yin.

So, let him watch it and get addicted to it.

Li Shimin watched carefully.

Completely forget about everything around.

This damn sense of substitution made him completely involved, especially when writing about five women.

The ministers are puzzled, is this novel really that good-looking?
At the same time, everyone also found that the paper of the novel does not seem to be very good.

At this time, Zhu Shan said to Fang Xuanling in a small voice: "Duke Wei... this..."

Fang Xuanling couldn't hold back either.

Stepped forward and said:
"His Majesty!"

Li Shimin didn't hear it.

He called again.

"His Majesty!"

So, he yelled louder again.

Only then did Li Shimin react.

"This novel is interesting..."

Fang Xuanling was ashamed.

"The novel is not published by the group, but by someone deliberately framing the sixth prince. That's why I entered the palace!"

"He didn't publish it? No wonder, the paper quality of this novel is so poor, but it looks very good. Then? What about this novel?"

Obviously, Li Shimin didn't know why Fang Xuanling came here.

Zhu Shan spoke at this moment.

"Your Majesty, can Cao Min explain?"

He had to say so.

Because in ancient times, if you want to be in the palace, you can't speak. Of course, if the emperor allows it, you can.

But Zhu Shan couldn't help it.

"allow!"

"Your Majesty, this was done by someone who wanted to frame Mister. They tried to use this as a threat to extort [-] million taels of silver. Mister refused to agree, so I asked the younger one to seek Duke Wei to help with these matters..."

Zhu Shan then explained the matter clearly.

When Li Shimin heard this, he realized that something was wrong.

If it is really as Zhu Shan said, then it is not a good thing for Li Yin.

Once Li Yin collapses, the entire Shengtang Group may fail.

Now the group is its main source of finance.

He also invested a lot of money in the group.

If Shengtang Group is not doing well, what about his money?
Is it worth it?

And the benefits of his money are very large.

So, he closed the novel.

Although he also wanted to watch it.

"Such behavior is simply audacious! In my big shop, how could such a thing happen, how can I tolerate it?"

He still said so.

Next.

"What do you need me to do?"

Li Shimin asked again.

Fang Xuanling came out and said: "Your Majesty, I can do this matter, but I can't fully take care of it with my own strength, so..."

In this way, Fang Xuanling wanted to seek Li Shimin's support.

Li Shimin did not refuse either.

"Okay, I can assign some more people to deal with this matter. Those behind the scenes must be severely punished, and all these powers will be handled by you!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Fang Xuanling was overjoyed.

Li Shimin's words are enough.

At the same time, many Jinshi on the side.

They all stood up.

"Your Majesty, the ministers are willing to assist Wei Guogong to deal with it!"

Fang Xuanling was even more delighted.

With these people joining, isn't that handy?

Zhu Shan quietly wrote down these names.

"Okay, this matter will be handled by you!"

Li Shimin said.

At this time, someone asked: "What about the rail transit?"

"Create! Recreate!"

Everyone was overjoyed.

After finishing speaking, he added another sentence.

"Those people are punished, mainly by fines, until they are bankrupt! If they commit the crime again, they will be beheaded directly!"

Li Shimin said so.

This is obviously to make those who framed Li Yin lose their fortunes.

In fact, it is for the sake of its own treasury.

In this way, the money spent is returned.

"Yes! Your Majesty, the minister will deal with it now!"

After that, Fang Xuanling and Zhu Shan left the Daming Palace.

After the two went out, they parted ways.

Zhu Shan went straight back to Tanglou.

Tell Li Yin about these things.

And Li Shimin picked up the novel and started reading it.
