Chapter 51: Change of Thinking

Gala, Gala, Gala...

The gate of the palace slowly opened, and officials in official uniforms walked in groups at the entrance of the palace gate. At that time, the eunuchs standing in front of the crowd held palace lanterns to guide them. They had to send these ministers to their respective positions to welcome the first ray of sunshine of the morning court today.

Today is not a great court. Only the ministers above the fifth rank in the court were present, but these people were uneasy and whispering on the way.

"Assistant Teacher Kong, you are comfortable. You can report to the top if you have any errands to the building of Yuyingtang. We who have no errands will probably be scolded. What does this coin minting have to do with us?"

"That is, Your Majesty asked all the civil and military officials of the court to work together to discuss the issue of coin minting, but this cannot be solved by negotiation. Which dynasty did not gain the trust of the people by gaining the trust of the people by relying on the achievements of pacifying the world, and then gaining the prestige of coin minting..."

Almost everyone knows that it is not easy to have a morning court today, because the coin minting that His Majesty asked them to discuss has never been a definite result, and the people of Luoyang cannot wait for the Sui Dynasty to study it slowly. His Majesty does not seem to have such a temperament. From this perspective...

"My emperor is in the court!"

When these ministers were in the court, the old eunuch finally shouted, and Yang Tong walked slowly towards the dragon throne as the ministers saluted.

Since it was not a great dynasty recently, there was only a prelude to the dynasty music and the etiquette was very simple. Almost as Yang Tong sat down, everything was ready. After he said "flat body", everyone stood up properly.

"There is a good news."

After the old eunuch shouted, Pei Renji took the lead and stood in the court and bowed and said, "Report to Your Majesty, the seepage well has been completely cleaned up. The painter has painted all the use and maintenance methods on the wall. According to Your Majesty's instructions, all the seepage wells have been printed nearby, and the dyeing workshop is responsible for maintenance. There is no yellowing of the well water."

As soon as he finished speaking, Gao Shilian stood up: "Your Majesty."

"The yellowing of the well water was created by Liang Dacheng and his group. It was not a nursery rhyme at all. After interrogation, Liang Dacheng and his group used His Majesty to worship their ancestors to recruit monks and Taoists from all over the world into the city. A total of 108 people entered the city, carrying twenty crossbows and nearly a hundred swords and guns. The leader was Liang Dacheng, the leader."

"He was instructed by Shan Xiongxin to assassinate the king and kill the king when His Majesty worships his ancestors. At that time, the beacon fire will be the name. Shan Xiongxin will lead his men to rush out of the vast mountains, seize the city gate, and hold Wang Shichong as the main commander, and establish the country's name as Zheng."

Yang Tong finally understood the beginning of this series of events, and snorted coldly on the dragon throne and said, "So, is there a group of people lying in the mountains?"

"I beg your Majesty to order Shan Xiongxin to be killed!"

Gao Shilian knelt down, and the important officials were shocked. Some court officials only knew that there were fires on the streets. His Majesty tried the case, but they didn't know that there were so many winding twists and turns inside. Why did they have to fight again?

"Why did Xiao Anzi die?" Yang Tong asked again.

"Your Majesty, according to Liang Dacheng's punishment, this group of people had already agreed. The group first checked into Liang Dacheng's inn to visit Liang Dacheng, and then heard that Xiao Anzi wanted to inherit the property of Liang's family, so they had evil thoughts. Originally, they discussed that after killing Xiao Anzi, they were punished for disappearance, and no one would look for a young man without relatives or reasons, but who knew that when he encountered the fire, he simply used fire to burn the body to create the illusion of fire. Unexpectedly, the old man Liang knew that he had owed something and insisted on reporting to the official, so he forced Liang Dacheng out."

"Your Majesty, Dali Temple has now thoroughly investigated the case. The only drawback is that Liang Dacheng cannot bear the torture and is dying. It seems that he will be alive in a few days."

When Luo Shixin heard this, he stood out from the court for the first time and said, "I requested an order to postpone the time for worshiping ancestors. After all the rebels were arrested, burn incense and worshiping ancestors."

Yang Tong shook his head: "Shixin, Liang Dacheng was arrested, and these rebels will withdraw from Luoyang immediately. There is nothing to be afraid of."

"Can……"

"alright."

Yang Tong stopped him from wasting time in this matter, then swept his eyes to the entire court and asked, "Can Kong Yingda, an assistant teacher at the Imperial College?"

When the others returned to their respective positions, Kong Yingda walked out at the end of the class and bowed in front of the gate of Daye Hall, saying, "Your Majesty, I am here."

“How is Yuyingtang built?”

The Imperial Academy is in charge of the development of education. Now the Yuying Hall, which was built for the soldiers who died in battle, is under their supervision to do its best to build it. Of course, Yang Tong has to ask him.

"Your Majesty, what is the construction of Yuying Hall? I have not participated. What I am receiving is looking for Mr. Enlightenment for Yuying Hall. If Your Majesty asks about this, my answer is that Mr. Husband is ready." He spoke very slowly, and he was not anxious when he answered. A demeanor that belonged to a literati flowed on him. It was a little darker than Gao Shilian, but it was a little more sunny and a righteous spirit.

"Your Majesty, the place of Yuzhou has been known since ancient times. Although there were no Confucius and Mencius in the past, there were Lao, Zhuang, Mo, and Han Feizi. At that time, Emperor Gaozu first created the Enke. There were many students here, and only enlightened the children to enter the school. These people were enough. Of course, enlightenment started with a righteous heart, so it was natural to teach them the idea of ​​loyalty to the emperor and patriotism since childhood. I wonder if Your Majesty wants to see the teaching materials prepared by the Imperial Academy for the students?"

When Yang Tong asked this question, he just wanted to see who Kong Yingda was, why could he join the 18th Bachelor of the Qin Palace in history. As a result, he opened his mouth and said something that was stormy, so that you could not find fault or praise it. This was a great dynasty in which everyone was in danger. If you really want to come out, what do others see you? From ancient times to the present, are there fewer things in this court that are jealous of the wise and capable?

Yang Tong asked again: "Kong Yingda, do you have any countermeasures when I asked about coin minting a few days ago?"

Here comes!

Hearing the words "money minting", the court officials frowned and looked at Kong Yingda one after another. No one expected that after reporting on his job, he did not stand back and was hit by His Majesty's first blow.

Kong Yingda stopped standing, turned over and knelt down and said, "I forgive me for being incompetent. I have been thinking hard for a long time, but I have never thought of a countermeasure."

Almost everyone has seen His Majesty straighten his body, which is clearly a sign of getting angry... When the assistant teacher of the Imperial Academy in front of him was about to suffer a disaster, he spoke again: "Ke also wants to contribute to the country, but he thought about what happened after the coins are minted."

"What's the matter?" Yang Tong asked.

"Your Majesty, after this coin, how to exchange coins and gold and silver? How to price grain? Do foreigners exchange gold and silver for money and grain first and then convert them into new coins, or directly exchange them for new coins? New coins in Luoyang are used outside, and Li Tang and Dou Xia do not recognize them. And..."

"Go far."

Kong Yingda's name is Chongyuan, and the person who called him at this time was Gao Shilian: "Chongyuan, may you not understand Your Majesty's intentions?"

Kong Yingda was slightly stunned, as if he understood, and kowtowed and said, "Your Majesty is wise." Then he retreated to the court.

He came back safely?!

Just fooling around for a few words and come back??!!

Gao Shilian went out again: "Did you all not understand Your Majesty's intention?"

Yang Tong smiled. In fact, it is also good to have a clever minister, and it will save you a lot of verbal talk.

"Your Majesty urges the minting of coins to prevent the common people from contacting the outside world. As we all know, the people cannot afford gold and silver, and gold and silver have not been circulated on a large scale. Even if the people holding the new money hear that Dou Xia has a wise ruler and Li Tang has a wise ruler? Can you give up your property in Luoyang and migrate at home? As long as the people don't leave, then I will have an endless stream of soldiers in the Sui Dynasty. This time, my colleagues know why Your Majesty is in a hurry to mint coins, right?"

Gao Shilian bowed again: "Your Majesty, I suggest that when minting coins, please do not rashly link them to gold and silver. If the people can only buy gold and silver as they are now, but cannot exchange them, there will be even fewer people who will lose to me in the Sui Dynasty."

Purchase and exchange do not mean the same thing. Purchase refers to jewelry and jewelry. There are handmade items, store rent, and profitable. It is more than a little expensive. If you want the money in your hands to be discounted for no reason, then exchange it. However, with the character of ordinary people, it is difficult to accept such losses.

But no one expected that coining was so difficult, and what Yang Tong thought was not exactly the same as the ministers.

"My dear friends, you should change your thinking about coin minting..."
