That night, many people in Chang'an were destined to be unable to sleep. Yuan Tiangang, who had just returned less than twelve hours, was one of them.

Whether or not Yuan Tiangang is in charge is definitely two kinds of efficiency. It is not that Eunuch Gao’s ability is not good, but because when Yuan Tiangang left, he had ordered that when he was not in Chang'an, he would archive all important news and wait for him to come back to deal with it. The news reported to Eunuch Gao every day is all ordinary, and it is basically just to collect rumors on the streets and alleys and report them.

Yuan Tiangang did this entirely out of selfishness.

He wanted Li Shimin to realize his role, so that Li Shimin would rely more on him. If there is no difference between being or not, there is no difference between being and being a "bad person", then there will be no difference between being or not.

Could it be that the emperor really needs a fortune teller?

Yuan Tiangang doesn't think so.

If you believe in fate, the father and son of Li will not rebel against the former Sui Dynasty. It is because you don’t believe in fate that you will change your fate against heaven. Li Yuan is old and has lost his strength, but Li Shimin is in his prime and his sharpness is revealed. A wise monarch cannot be humiliated. If you insult his IQ, what he wants is your life.

Therefore, Yuan Tiangang is absolutely loyal to Li Shimin at least for the time being and dare not have any intention of being irrelevant.

Yesterday, I met Li Shimin and the king and his ministers talked about the treasure. Li Shimin assigned Yuan Tiangang a new task, which was mainly divided into three parts, one was Wei Zheng, the second was Li Mu, and the third was to continue to investigate and build the son.

Wei Zheng mainly explores the relationship between him and the Zheng family and how deeply it is involved with the Zheng family and the Shandong gentry. This is related to Li Shimin's final decision.

On Li Mu's side, Li Shimin's order was to look at him. If he had caused a big trouble, he would have sent the news earlier, so he would not have been unprepared and caught off guard.

If you have a son who has been built, there is only one word, kill it!

Yuan Tiangang received the order and returned to the Imperial Heavenly Supervision Underground Palace, read a page of archives. He learned about the past two months after leaving one by one. He ended up sleeping until early in the morning. When he woke up, he came down to report that Li Mu had another trouble.

Afterwards, news came one after another. Yuan Tiangang knew about Changsun Wuji and Wang Gui.

He did not dare to neglect his actions, and he entered the palace through a secret passage overnight and reported the matter to Li Shimin. Because of this, Li Shimin was not surprised at all when he received the memorials from Wang Gui and Changsun Wuji. They suffered a loss, but they could not make it clear in the court discussion, and they could only express their dissatisfaction by handing over the memorials.

What surprised Li Shimin was Li Mu, who even wrote a memorial for the first time. Li Shimin was quite worried about how Li Mu survived this difficulty. But after reading his memorial, Li Shimin felt relieved.

Li Shimin put three memorials in front of him, looked at them again and again, waved his hand, and Eunuch Gao walked over and said, "Your Majesty, do you have any instructions?"

"Go to the Ministry of Personnel and the Ministry of Menxia Province, and summon the uncle and the minister of the country to come over."

"promise."

Eunuch Gao responded, came to the gate of the hall, and gave a few instructions to the little eunuch waiting outside. Not long after, Wang Gui and Changsun Wuji arrived. At this time, the duty was not yet available. The Ministry of Personnel and the Ministry of Governors were all in the imperial city, not far from it.

The two looked at each other at the gate of the hall and gave each other a look tacitly. The meaning of this look is an agreement. No matter what, you can't let go. Since the memorial has been handed over, it is time to tear the face apart, and there will be advance but not retreat.

"See Your Majesty."

When the two saw Li Shimin, they saluted together and looked solemn.

When Li Shimin saw the two, he said to Eunuch Gao: "Come on, give me a seat."

Eunuch Gao asked someone to move two Jinduns over, and the two said thanks and sat down. They felt more confident that Li Shimin wanted to discuss this, otherwise how could he give him a seat when he met?

"I have read the memorials of the two beloved ministers. After all, Li Mu is unreasonable and I cannot protect him. I want to tell you the two beloved ministers. In this matter, I agree with your ideas. I will stop Li Mu and let him stop the loan."

The two were stunned, so simply agreed?

Before entering the hall, they were mentally prepared, thinking that even if Li Shimin agreed under pressure, he would have to talk. However, they did not expect that it would be so smooth. This feeling was like a heavy punch hitting cotton, which made the strength too big and the shoulders were dislocated.

Worried that Li Shimin would repent, the two of them quickly stood up and said, "Your Majesty is as wise as the sun and the moon. I admire you very much."

Li Shimin smiled and signaled the two to sit down, and said, "I am just talking about the matter. Being a reasonable person means being a reasonable person. If you don't have any reason, you don't have any reason. I'm short of money in my treasury, and you can't blame you. It's a favor for you, and not helping is also a duty. It's not considered offending," paused, and Li Shimin asked with a smile: "...right?"

As soon as these words were spoken, both of them had a sudden strife.

Is this wrong thing? Could it be that His Majesty has a knot in his heart?

Yes, Li Mu is the Minister of the Interior Department. What he does will inevitably be approved by His Majesty first. How could he be happy if His Majesty loses his face?

Wang Gui's face changed a little, while Changsun Wuji's forehead was already sweating.

In this matter, Changsun Wuji and Wang Gui have similar positions, but also different ones.

Wang Gui was originally the spokesperson of the family. It is understandable that standing opposite Li Shimin, everyone was tacitly informed. Changsun Wuji was a nobleman, and the honor and disgrace of nobleman was all related to the word "saint's family". If this incident caused a estrangement in Li Shimin's heart, it would be better not to pass on this memorial.

In an instant, Changsun Wuji felt a little regretful. Wang Gui was worried about revenge. After all, in this world, no matter how powerful the nobles and nobles were, they were not as powerful as the imperial power. If Li Shimin was really annoyed, it would not be impossible for him to have a knife or an axe to do it.

The two were about to explain, but Li Shimin spoke again: "This matter is settled, and I will issue an order to denounce Li Mu later. However, before that, I still have a memorial from him here. Both of them are my prime ministers. You can see it, so you can give me some advice."

After saying that, Li Shimin handed Li Mu's memorial to Eunuch Gao, and brought it to the two of them to show them.

Wang Gui and Changsun Wuji looked over carefully. As soon as they were halfway through, their expressions froze on their faces.

mean!

The same word came into their minds. How did Li Mu grow his head? He even thinks of such a vicious plan to remove firewood from the cauldron?

In Li Mu's memorial, the four big words "Salt and Iron Specialty" suddenly appeared. The memorial said this: Li Mu was a little educated, and he had no rules before, and he said whatever he thought of, most of which were nonsense. After reading the Records of the Grand Historian, he reflected on his previous words and deeds and found many mistakes.

One of them is the proposal to establish the Tang Dynasty's salt industry and the Tang Dynasty's mining industry. It is recorded in "Records of the Grand Historian" that since the Qin and Han Dynasties, the country has implemented a salt and iron franchise. Later generations have followed this in all dynasties. It can be seen that the national policy of salt and iron franchise has gone through the test. It is the foundation of the country and cannot be shaken, nor can it be used by people.

He was confused before and made wrong suggestions. Now that he found the mistake, he must correct it. Fortunately, Datang Mining and Datang Salt Industry have not yet been on track and have not invested much money. The money for subscribing to shares is also stored in the ice cellar of the Ministry of Industry and can be returned in full. As for the various losses caused during the period, Li Mu planned to bear it with all his personal winery to make profits and make up for the losses of all parties.

In other words, all the previous statements were invalid. He wanted to take back the management rights of salt and iron and take them all back to the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

threaten!

shameless!

The two of them wanted to call Li Mu over immediately and slapped the contract he made at that time on Li Mu's face. But they also knew that since Li Mu had submitted this memorial, it was just like their thoughts, and he would break up with him.

When you tear your face apart, whoever loses and who wins is all within Li Shimin's thoughts. As for any contract, you don't want any face, and you still care about it?

So who will Li Shimin be directed to?

I can't guess what I said just now?

Li Shimin smiled and asked, "Do you two beloved ministers, do you think what Li Mu said makes sense?"

Changsun Wuji looked at Wang Gui, wanting him to speak first. How willing Wang Gui was, his eyes floated on the beam of the palace, as if it had nothing to do with this matter.

Changsun Wuji cursed the old fox inwardly and had to speak: "Your Majesty, I think that Li Mu's words are very wrong. He was the one who proposed to establish the Tang Salt Industry and the Tang Mining Industry before. Although we had doubts at that time, we all restrained each other and supported him with all our strength. Now that he is confused, he wants nothing to count, which is too ridiculous."

Li Shimin pointed to the memorial and said, "Didn't you look carefully? Li Mu didn't just think about it in a daze. People said that by taking out the profits of the winery to block this hole, not only will he repay the principal, but also the interest. I think it's reasonable, and you are not losing money at all."

That's not profitable!

Changsun Wuji was so angry that he wanted to shout.

Everyone has been useless and has been so angry that they are being held back. They have been led by a seventeen-year-old child for half a year. Isn’t it all for the huge profits of the mineral? Not for the benefit, would they play house with you?

Li Shimin's words were clearly just helping. How could this be justified? Changsun Wuji dared not, but he would never dare to turn against Li Shimin.
Chapter completed!
