"A mere merchant, how dare he do this?!"
"Is it true that there is no one in my gentry?"
"Hmph, it's nothing more than a favored businessman, don't you just want to ride on top of this old man?"
"Come on, follow me into the palace, I want to play it to him!"
Ever since, under the butterfly effect, these gentry, relatives and relatives of the emperor entered the imperial city one after another, and found various departments and yamen of Yousi and Shangshu Province.
Let's talk about the Ministry of War first.
Due to the urgent military situation on Chai Shao's side, His Majesty personally issued an order, and then under the leadership of Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui, the entire military headquarters was operating at full capacity and efficiently.
The relatives and elders of the soldiers who were driven out by Li Qiu came here full of resentment, when they saw that the atmosphere was not right?
So he retreated back in a disheartened and perspicuous manner.
Of course, there are also some self-righteous ones.
Relying on his friendship with Fang Xuanling, the left servant of Shangshu, he found Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui.
Then they began to chat in a long-winded manner, and it took Fang Xuanling a long time to understand the meaning of his words. It turned out that this was the complaint against Li Qiu.
As for Fang Xuanling's temper, he has always been gentle, cautious, and never easily offends others.
At this time, he also thought about persuading him to go back first, on the grounds that he was busy with military affairs.
But the impatient Du Ruhui at the side couldn't bear it anymore.
He yelled at the man directly.
"The document Li Qiu took has my big seal on it, don't you see it?"
"If you have any doubts, Mr. Chen can go to your Majesty's prelude and report to me."
"Our military situation here is urgent. If there is nothing else, Mr. Chen, please go back."
What Du Ruhui said was very serious.
In the view of Mr. Chen, it is very unacceptable.
Because in the officialdom, people who carry people in bridal sedan chairs have to pay attention to mutual politeness and face on the surface.
Even if they are enemies of life and death, when two people meet, they should greet each other, and they should talk and laugh happily.
If there are means, use them behind your back.
Even if it is behind the scenes, the two sides are fighting to the death, but on the surface they must be kind.
This is called the rules, unspoken rules.
But today, Du Ruhui got angry directly, and didn't leave any steps, so Master Chen was also annoyed.
Just thinking about what to say next.
Seeing him like this, Du Ruhui, who was worried about the defeat of Chai Shao's army in his heart, was very nervous and anxious, and shouted directly, "Come on!"
"Get him out of here!"
Du Ruhui, Shangshu Youpushe, is in charge of the Ministry of War and military administration.
The guards stationed here are all the most elite of the Forbidden Army.
That is definitely a mountain of military orders, they don't care what kind of official position this Mr. Chen is, and they don't care whether he is a nobleman or not.
He took the order directly, and threw Master Chen with him.
This time, too many people were dumbfounded, causing an uproar in the entire Shangshu Province.
Chapter 132
As the saying goes, people fight for a breath, and the Buddha receives a stick of incense.
After this Mr. Chen was thrown out by Du Ruhui, and then surrounded by a crowd of people, his face was flushed with shame and indignation, and he didn't want to live anymore.
"Du Ruhui!" After all, I am also a nobleman of Guan Long. "
"Now he is so rude to me because of that merchant."
"Today I will fight with you, the theory to the end..."
Just when he ignored him and was almost cursing, several officials who knew him hurriedly pulled him away.
"Oh, my Lord Chen!"
"Don't make noise, don't make noise..."
"Now that there is a problem in the battle ahead, even His Majesty has been alarmed, and has issued several imperial edicts to expedite the eight hundred miles."
"Then what is Du Xiang doing for Li Qiu? It's just for the battle ahead!"
"Don't you see the tense atmosphere in the entire military department?"
"Stop talking, and leave here with us, or if this matter gets to His Majesty, your black hat will be lost!"
After hearing what they said, Master Chen immediately wilted like an eggplant beaten by frost.
On the other hand, those officials, craftsmen, handymen and others who were driven out by Li Qiu aggressively found various yamen in Shangshu Province.
Come to sue Li Qiu, come to these yamen to judge.
The reason why they are so loud and unscrupulous is because they are righteous.
They are not like the guards who were kicked out by Li Qiu, they have the seal issued by Shangshu Youpushe in their hands.
There is nothing to say about this.
However, Li Qiu drove away all kinds of officials and handymen in Furong Garden, which was completely against the government order and unreasonable.
Ever since, they asked Yousi to punish Li Qiu severely and give him a good taste.
As for the officials in these yamen, not to mention 100% of gentry origin, they are almost the same.
Naturally, they also wanted to take this opportunity to show Li Qiu some color, so they thought of reporting to the higher authorities to make this matter bigger.
But before they had time to act, the newly inaugurated minister, Prime Minister Wang Gui, brought people to their Shangshu Province with a smile.
As soon as they saw Wang Gui, everyone rushed forward to salute, not daring to be slighted.
At least not on the surface.
"Hehe, you adults don't need to be polite."
"Before, I also heard what you talked about."
"This Hibiscus Garden has been the royal palace and garden since the previous dynasty."
"It is true that there is no precedent for rewarding foreign ministers."
"So, now that His Majesty bestowed this Furong Garden to Li Qiu, the General of Fuguo, there are many decrees that seem inappropriate."
"Today, I went down to the province and modified some of the unreasonable parts."
"Now I'm here to convey it to you, my lords."
"I think that with this decree, you will no longer have to argue and be angry about the Furong Garden."
As he said that, the officials of Wang Gui's Menxia Province conveyed the official government orders with seals to the people in the relevant yamen.
After seeing it, everyone was completely dumbfounded.
Didn't they say before that Li Qiu violated the government order and had no right to expel those appointed by various yamen?
Fortunately, Prime Minister Wang Gui personally issued a new decree, which means that after Furong Garden was rewarded to Li Qiu, it completely became Li Qiu's private residence.
All the official positions of the original palace manager in Furong Garden will be revoked.
From now on, everything in this Furong Garden will be arranged by Li Qiu himself.
As for what kind of servants people use in their families, who they use and who they don't use is exactly the same as other people's mansions. As long as they don't violate the laws of the Tang Dynasty, no government office can control them.
Such a government order came down, but completely extinguished the fire of everyone.
Before they were so aggressive, it was because they were reasonable and Li Qiu was unreasonable.
But now with such a decree, at least all possibilities of counterattacking Li Qiu through official channels have been blocked.
What is the use of the door?
It is dedicated to promulgating, reviewing, and managing various government orders.
Among them, the major events need to be personally approved by His Majesty.
But for a semi-civilian government decree like Li Qiu's, which concerns the mansion and servants, the Prime Minister Wang Gui personally signs and approves it, which seems to be of high standard.
After seeing that the group of guys were dumbfounded, Wang Gui just smiled, turned around and left with them.
Only the group of gentry who hated in their hearts were left, gnashing their teeth loudly.
"This Wang Gui! It's a typical example of using the public for personal gain!"
"That merchant found a chancellor for him in front of His Majesty. Now he stands up for that merchant and issued this unreasonable decree!"
"It really doesn't make sense!"
"Hmph, I don't know what your majesty thinks, but you can let a vassal serve as the elder of my Tang sect's subordinate province?!"
"No, this matter must not be left alone!"
"Tomorrow, I will go to the book together, and I must participate in defeating this merchant and Wang Gui..."
……
In the early morning of the next day, Li Shimin was still worried about the Chai Shao army ahead.
However, I saw that the playbook before the dragon case was quickly piled up like snowflakes.
He casually picked out a few and opened them for a look, then sighed softly and frowned.
Next, after the important events and work reports were completed, Feng Deyi, Pei Ji and others took the lead to criticize and report on Li Qiu's incident yesterday.
Li Shimin has always been a very patient person, but this time, he was already bored in his heart, and he directly pushed down all the notebooks in front of him.
"Okay, just shut up for me!"
"You played it back and forth, didn't you just play Li Qiu, and drove away your relatives and children who were so easy to settle in the Furong Garden?"
"In the past, when this Furong Garden belonged to the royal family, I just turned a blind eye."
"But now this Furong Garden has been rewarded to Li Qiu, and that is Li Qiu's private residence."
"Is there anything wrong with driving them away?"
"If you say it's right to do so, well, Feng Deyi, Pei Ji, Xiao Yu, tomorrow I will send a few officials of the seventh and eighth rank to sit in your residence wearing official uniforms every day."
"Walking around your mansion every day, do you think it's okay?"
Li Shimin's words almost choked Feng Deyi and the others to death.
"This... Your Majesty, the mansion of this private family is not the yamen, so how can you arrange several officials to do this?"
"But this Furong Garden is a royal garden after all, it's different from the private mansions of ministers and others."
"The mansions and ancestral houses of the ministers and others all have house deeds and land deeds."
"As for the Furong Garden, it is owned by the royal family, and foreign ministers are not allowed to destroy or rebuild it at will."
"So it is even more necessary for someone to supervise and manage it."
Li Shimin snorted, "Oh, your family's private mansion is a mansion, so Li Qiu's mansion is not a mansion?"
"But what you said reminded me."
"Hubu, turn around and hand over the house deed and land deed of Furong Garden to Li Qiu. From now on, this garden will belong to Li Qiu."
"Just like other people's ancestral property, if he is gone, it will be passed on automatically to his children and grandchildren."
After hearing this sentence, I was almost shocked!
Chapter 133 Ministers and others, support His Majesty's resolution
The Hibiscus Garden is the royal palace, the manor.
Moreover, there has never been a precedent for rewarding ministers.
