Although there are many royal families in the Daqian Empire, it does not mean that everyone can be classified as a prince. Take the sons of the emperor as an example. Their titles are not necessarily princes. Only some people with meritorious service can be princes. Otherwise, the annual budget will exceed the standard. The children of the royal family are never reluctant to spend money, so many people's title is just an earl.
There are a total of eleven palaces in the capital. All the princes are currently here. How can one be given to Gao Shaoyi? If it is to be rebuilt, it will involve choosing an address. It will be two or three years after they are all built. What's more, if If Gao Shaoyi is asked to choose an address, I don't know where he will choose it. If there is a conflict with other families, it will be even more troublesome.
But the taxation issue cannot be ignored. Gao Shaoyi controls more and more territory, and provides a lot of tax revenue to the Daqian Dynasty every year. If the stalemate continues like this, the court will suffer even greater losses, and the court will receive less revenue every year. With tens of millions of taxes, Gao Shaoyi only lost a palace, and the house he lives in now is not much worse than the palace.
"I heard from people in the Ministry of Household Affairs that you had a conflict with them over the issue of the palace?"
The emperor finally couldn't help it anymore. The Daqian Empire looked okay from the outside, but it was in chaos inside, especially the accounts of the Account Department. Although there was still money in the accounts, the actual money was not known to have been misappropriated. Where have they gone? This month, I have been relying on the money paid by the suppressing army. If the stalemate continues like this, the emperor will probably have to borrow money again.
"Back to the emperor, this is really not my nephew's business. It's because these people in the Ministry of Revenue do not follow the rules. From the history of our Daqian Empire, if you have a prince, you must have a prince's palace. Do you think these people will give What did I say, let me take off the plaque at the gate and replace it with the brand of the palace. That’s it. How can there be such a good thing in the world?"
Gao Shaoyi's words also refer to Sang scolding Huai. Without the emperor's authorization, you wouldn't dare to do this even if you beat these people to death. The emperor had already hinted to them, so they dared to reply to Gao Shaoyi in this way. The people around them Some people looked at the emperor cautiously, but there was no expression on the emperor's face. In their hearts, they felt that Gao Shaoyi was too bold.
"According to my opinion, you will also go to the three southern provinces in the future. The house in the capital is enough. If you want to build a palace, then let the three southern provinces prepare to build a palace. There is no need to build a palace in the capital. You are You must guard the southern border for me."
The emperor did not say how to do this, but took another approach. He hoped that Gao Shaoyi would build the palace in the three southern provinces, where the sky is high and the emperor is far away. You can do whatever you want. The most important thing is that there is no need. The court has paid for it, but you spend your own money. Even if it is as big as the palace, we won't say anything here.
Gao Shaoyi became very angry when he heard this. There were many princes with foreign surnames in history. They did build huge palaces on their own fiefdoms. Their magnificence surpassed many palaces in the capital, but they also had their own houses in the capital. It's a house, and it was built according to the specifications of the palace. If there was no such example before, how can you calculate it, why did it change when we got here?
In fact, a palace is not that important to the court. The reason why the emperor did this was to gain publicity and let everyone see that no matter how powerful Gao Shaoyi is, those who should bow their heads must bow their heads here. But now Gao Shaoyi has already Times have changed. In the past, I could bow my head to you, but now I'm afraid it's no longer necessary.
Gao Shaoyi has already begun to contact the dozen or so noble families. They all have their own strength in other provinces. These people are also waiting and watching. Gao Shaoyi must show off to them. He has the ability to make the Daqian court surrender. This is Gao Shaoyi's strength, only with this kind of strength will they come closer. Otherwise, you are just a big warlord and cannot be a powerful minister.
This is also the meaning of the emperor's actions. He also knew that Gao Shaoyi had colluded with the warlords outside. Some agreements may have been reached, but they were not made public. At this time, the emperor also wanted them to know that despite the fact that the suppressing army was very powerful outside, It's awesome, but in this three-acre area of the capital, he can do whatever he wants. In addition to the courtesy of a monarch and his minister, I am still his uncle.
Both sides want to make a show, so on the matter of the palace, the two sides are caught in a game. In the end, it depends on who can hold on. However, judging from the current situation, it seems that the emperor is going to They couldn't hold on any longer. After all, they were in a place that was short of money. Gao Shaoyi's side had strong soldiers and horses and no shortage of anything. They were capable of continuing to spend their money.
"The emperor is right. The minister will go back to the south in a few days, but will this be the case in the future? If so, then our past rules should be changed. Daqian Laws It should also be clearly stated in the letter that future princes with foreign surnames cannot keep their palace in the capital."
Gao Shaoyi threw a nail. The emperor hit a nail here with Gao Shaoyi. It was okay to ask Gao Shaoyi not to build a palace, but this matter must be made known to the world. Princes with other surnames cannot have palaces in the capital. Those who have it now must also have it. Exit.
We were having dinner happily. In addition to the emperor and Gao Shaoyi, there were also some other meritorious ministers. But at this moment, no one dared to eat. The emperor had already spoken for the sake of it, even with a little... It was meant to be discussed, but Prince Pingnan showed no mercy at all and still had to act according to his own ideas, which would not give the emperor face.
"How can the laws of our ancestors be changed casually?"
These people present accompany the emperor every day. From this voice, it can be heard that the emperor is already angry. If it were anyone else, he would definitely give up, but this guy Gao Shaoyi has millions of troops in his hands, how could it be possible? Will you give up easily?
"Then according to the ancestral law, if it does not change, the minister should also have a palace in the capital. According to rumors, there are people in the palace in the capital now, so should I build a new palace for me?"
In the past, Gao Shaoyi intimidated everyone in the capital and only gave face to the emperor and the two old princes. But after returning this time, all the ministers felt that this boy seemed to give no face to anyone, and his words were particularly sharp. . This chapter has been completed!
