Ganlu Temple.

With a blue face, Li Shimin frowned and said nothing, his face full of murderous aura.

Although he was always by Li Shimin, Wang Huangui was also frightened and trembled. He could only stand aside without panting and lowering his eyebrows and lowering his hands.

As he grew older, Li Shimin became more majestic, and his words and deeds showed his power as an emperor.

Even as a confidant, Wang Huangui did not dare to touch Li Shimin's power at this time.

But it is no wonder that in order to make money from the national crisis, these wealthy families maliciously compete to push up the price of charcoal, and even ignore the lives of the people when they are frozen.

Now that cheap honeycomb coal has just been launched, these shameless guys have come up with ideas again, how can they not make Li Shimin angry?

In Li Shimin's view, whoever stops him from becoming a famous king for all ages will be his enemy.

But he also knew that as an emperor, he could not kill him.

Because these aristocratic families are not in the court at all, but appear in various entangled local forces.

If you dare to act rashly and kill, you will feel refreshed, but it may affect your whole body and cause turmoil.

Li Shimin dared not gamble, nor could he gamble!

So, it seemed so angry that I couldn't bear it for a moment.

With a cold snorting, Li Shimin turned to Wang Huangui and said, "Summon Yang Fan, the Minister of Rites, to see me..."

It seems that the process of imperial examination reform must be accelerated. It is obvious that these clowns can still jump around.

"Here!" He responded and turned around and stepped out of the hall, Wang Huangui breathed a sigh of relief.

The pressure is too great, I am really scared, it is so scary!

As soon as the old eunuch left, Changsun Wugui walked in.

When he saw Li Shimin with an unhappy look, he couldn't help but ask with concern: "Second brother, I wonder what happened?"

"Some aristocratic families really deserve to die. They actually want to buy Carboniferous Mountain and make a fortune, and ignore the lives and deaths of the people. It's really hateful. Do they really think my knife is not good?" Li Shimin replied with a calm face.

Changsun Wugui was stunned. Li Shimin had never spoken to him so coldly!

However, she was smart and quickly figured it out that the people around her must have made His Majesty Li Er angry.

So Changsun Wugui frowned and asked, "What happened that made Your Majesty so angry? Is there anything wrong with me?"

Seeing Changsun Wugui's cautious look, Li Shimin realized that he had passed a little, after all, it had nothing to do with Changsun Wugui.

He looked at Changsun Wugui apologetically, and soon Li Shimin poured out his bitterness.

Having a partner to express to Li Shimin has a much better mood.

After hearing this, Changsun Wugui was silent for a moment and said, "Brother is really, the Duke of Zhao's mansion does not have to worry about food and clothing. Why do you need so much money? I will definitely talk about him carefully after I go back."

Li Shimin waved his hand and said, "Guanyin maid, I have my own plans. Don't hurt your brother and sister's relationship."

Changsun Wugui did not insist. She knew that because of Changsun Wuji's friendship with Li Shimin and his own face, Changsun Wuji was scolded at most.

But he was afraid that Li Shimin would do excessive things to the aristocratic family, so he gently advised: "Second brother, don't be impulsive. Although these aristocratic families are hateful, they do not forcefully buy and sell. They are completely acting in the rules. How can the court punish them? If there is no conclusive evidence, it will cause uneasiness among all aristocratic families in the world!"

Isn’t this something that Li Shimin is worried about?

This is also because I have always wanted to suppress the aristocratic family, but I can't find a good solution.

Although Li Shimin is the lord of the world, he must abide by certain rules of the game when doing things.

If you do not follow the rules and act willfully against aristocratic families, it will lead to the collapse of order and will not be far from the demise of the country.

Angry but has no choice, this is also the most afflicting thing about Li Shimin.

Li Shimin said indignantly: "Hmph, fortunately they are tactful. Otherwise, I will definitely let them know the benefits of swords and axes."

Changsun Wugui smiled and said, "It's good to know, but the second brother needs to pay more attention to his health..."

Li Shimin laughed: "Don't worry, Guanyin maid, I am really in good health!"

Although Li Shimin seemed very excited, he described his eye sockets as he was deeply entangled.

Changsun Wugui was worried, but he didn't dare to say more.

Originally, he came to persuade Li Shimin not to take those elixirs, but he didn't dare to mention his actions, so he had to smile hard.

At this moment, the eunuch came to report and Ouyang Xun asked for a visit.

Seeing this, Changsun Wugui lamented and had to retreat. The harem did a good job of not interfering in politics.

...

The cold wind in Lingli cannot blow away Yang Fan's good mood.

He is at a high position at a young age and has made a lot of money in the past few days. He is even more beautiful, so he is not too happy.

However, it may not take long to have a leisurely life in the future. After all, a series of things such as the Great Sun and scientific research are coming soon.

Now that he was full of fragrant jade, he was summoned to the palace by His Majesty Li Er. Yang Fan had to endure the cold and hurried into the palace, whispering his heart.

I don’t know where this emperor is causing trouble. It’s snowing heavily and not working hours, which is simply tormenting, which makes Yang Fan a little complained.

This time, the place where His Majesty Li Er summoned was not the Tai Chi Hall, but the Ganlu Hall.

Ganlu Hall is Li Shimin's bedroom. It is directly behind Taiji Hall and you need to walk through rows of corridors.

There are pools and rockery by the corridor, but the snow is deep, and even the fountains on the rockery are frozen, and the beauty of the past cannot be seen at all.

The eunuch led Yang Fan directly to a main house with dragons and phoenixes, and then he lowered his body and left.

At this time, His Majesty Li Er was sitting upright on a short couch, with a huge desk in front of him.

There were many memorials on the case, and Li Shimin was concentrating on his mind and looking at a memorial.

Seeing Yang Fan coming in and bowing to salute, Li Shimin waved his hand casually without raising his head and said, "You can find a seat to sit down. I will first look at the memorials for the staff."

"No!" Yang Fan responded.

After sitting down, I noticed an old man sitting on the Hu bench opposite me.

The first thing this old man felt was that one word was ugly and two words were extremely ugly.

The old man's ugly is that kind of vulgar ugly, and his whole body is extremely thin, like a small bamboo pole.

This man is short, sharp-mouthed and monkey cheeks, and his face is as wrinkled as old tree bark.

Even if he sat, he could see that his back was slightly hunched, just like a monkey playing with monkeys, just wearing the clothes of humans all his life.

Could it be that this old man is the one whom His Majesty Li Er just mentioned?

"Shi Shi Zhong" is an official position, and was appointed as an additional official position, with a position of regular attendant, and there is no fixed position.

The officials added may be doctors, doctors or counselors, censors, three dukes, generals, nine ministers, etc., and some may also be added.

If you add this title, you will be in charge of the palace, and the emperor will be in charge of the counselors to deal with it, and you will be greeted every day.

The scholar can be said to be a close minister of the emperor. Is it this ugly old man?

This Li Shimin is too ignorant of his image!

In Yang Fan's memory, it seems that Ouyang Xun is the only one who is so ugly in the Tang Dynasty.

I remember historical records that in June of the tenth year of Zhenguan, Empress Changsun passed away. During the mourning of Empress Changsun, Xu Jingzong saw the news that Ouyang Xun made him laugh and was exposed by the censor. Xu Jingzong was also demoted to the Hongzhou Governor's Office.

Although Changsun Wugui did not die because he was saved by himself, there was no such thing as Ouyang Xun being ridiculed.
