Carefree Prince In Tang Dynasty

There was a brief silence in the hall. Everyone was immersed in this almost magical fact, and couldn't recover for a long time.

What are you kidding? The Minister of Rites and the Minister of the Ministry of Households jointly impeached a king of Chu who was idle without any official position. It turned out that the king of Chu had nothing to do. Instead, the two of them were disgraced and their political life was almost over. .What day is it? Is it a crime of Tai Sui?

In the crowd, Cheng Yaojin and Qin Qiong looked at each other tacitly, and they both saw smiles in each other's eyes.

Happy! Usually, they are a group of illiterate warriors who are forced to come to Taiwan by civil servants. They can only rely on their seniority and big fists to get out of trouble. Now they have a Wenqu star in the ranks of military officers? There is one set of principles, and a few casual words can scare the entire hall of civil servants into silence. Isn't this fun?

Frankly speaking, with Cheng Yaojin's knowledge, he really didn't understand the relationship between merchants and Jiangshan Sheji. However, after listening to Li Xin's words just now, he began to agree that business may indeed be beneficial to people's livelihood. It can be seen that Li Xin's words are indeed easy to understand and unique.

However, although Cheng Yaojin leaned towards Li Xin's side in his heart, he did not show the slightest bit in action. That's what's so old about him. He always kept in mind his duty as a military minister. He knows that it doesn't matter if he keeps talking all the time because of his qualifications, and His Majesty is even happy to see such things, but when it comes to serious court affairs, as long as the matter doesn't involve him, then don't speak rashly.

On the one hand, he knew almost nothing about other things except leading troops to fight, so less meddling means less chaos; on the other hand, it was because he believed in the abilities of old foxes like Li Shimin and Chen Yin. If there is something that even they can't decide, it's better for him, Cheng Yaojin, to keep his mouth shut and be a coward, so as not to be scolded.

After Li Shimin approved Han Donghua's verbal resignation without hesitation, he gave Li Xin a meaningful look.

It was this glance that made Li Xin feel alert, as if a fox had noticed the gaze of a hunter who was peeping from the dark.

Just when Li Xin was about to say something, Li Shimin said: "Although the national policy of emphasizing agriculture and suppressing commerce cannot be easily changed, what the King of Chu said does inspire me."

Li Xin quickly said: "Where is that, I just said something"

Li Shimin raised a hand, indicating that Li Xin needn't say more.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Li Xin was concerned about the majesty of the emperor, and he couldn't play tricks by relying on his relationship with His Majesty Li Er, so he honestly shut up.

"The Ministry of Households is the key point in charge of the world's money and food. It is necessary to have a deep enough understanding of business affairs." Li Shimin said.

Dai Zhou, who had been pretending to be dead at the front of the courtiers, took a step forward, cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty's words are absolutely true."

The boss, Li Shimin, was very satisfied with the younger brother's perfect cooperation, nodded and said: "Since the King of Chu has a lot of insights into business affairs, I announce that the Ministry of Households will temporarily set up the post of 'consultant', with no rank or salary, and the King of Chu will Responsible for explaining the business affairs to the officials of the household department. Xuan Yin, what do you think?"

Dai Zhou replied without hesitation: "The minister seconded the proposal."

"The minister seconded the proposal." All the ministers of His Highness said in unison. Especially Chen Yin, Cheng Yaojin and other old foxes, all of them were smiling and peeking at Li Xin maliciously.

Li Xin's eyes widened, and there was only one voice left in his heart: Damn, I was tricked!

For a moment, the joy of bringing down Han Donghua and Zheng Bowen disappeared without a trace.

I have to admit that Li Shimin's methods are really clever, and this sudden "consultant" position is cast just right, leaving no room for Li Xin to refuse.

Just imagine, Li Xin's impassioned rhetoric against the Confucian scholars just now left the two ministers speechless. What is the reason for this? Not to emphasize the importance of business. Alright, now, Li Shimin admits the importance of commerce, and admits that merchants played a role in promoting the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty. In this way, it is reasonable for the Ministry of Households to strengthen its understanding of business, right? This is their job after all. However, here comes the question, who can help the Ministry of Households to strengthen its understanding of business?

Isn't it just Li Xin who talked the most? Therefore, Li Shimin's appointment of Li Xin as the consultant of the household department was completely logical, and it was so natural that no one could find any faults.

If Li Xin wanted to refuse, there were only two ways to go: either to shirk his incompetence, or to say that he did not want to be an official. However, these two paths seem to exist, but in fact they do not work at all.

First of all, he was still talking so much just now, but now he immediately withered, saying that he didn't know much about merchants, which was obviously inappropriate. What do you think of the court? Do kids play house? Moreover, it is impossible for Li Xin to choose this way. Because that would affect the weight of what he just said in the hearts of the courtiers. He never wanted that to be the case.

Second, directly refuse. This problem is bigger. Li Xin himself said that merchants played a big role in the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty. At this moment, when he was asked to introduce the businessman to the Ministry of Households, he refused instead. Why? Don't you want to help His Majesty create a prosperous Tang Dynasty?
