"Is there any use in worrying?" Li Shi Min asked.
Li Shiming thought that since he knew what the other party was going to do, it would be easy. Therefore, Li Shiming bade farewell to Li Yuan and prepared to go back to the system to think of a countermeasure.
After all, it wasn't very convenient here.
Li Yuan pointed at Li Shiming and thought,"You bastard, you told me about this and didn't tell me how to solve it. You want me to be unable to sleep at night, right?"”
In the end, he still said,"Get lost."
Li Shi Min left with a smile.
The next day," The Sage Arrives."
"If there's nothing else, I'll leave."
At this time, it was the time for the daily court meeting. Zheng Yuan, the minister of the Chamberlain of Dependencies, stepped forward and said,"Your Majesty, the Tibetan emissary arrived in Chang 'an yesterday. Great Minister Lu Dongzan has requested to see Your Majesty.”
Li Shimin thought," This isn't right. Isn't Tibet in the middle of civil strife at this time?”
Songzan Gambo was only eleven years old, and he would only succeed the throne two years later after his father Namri Lunzan was poisoned to death.
What were they doing here?
"Could it be that the little butterfly's wings are flapping?”Li Shi Min thought.
In truth, the Tibetans were currently in civil strife, and it seemed that the Great Tang had wiped out the Eastern Turks in just a few months.
F * ck, this was too awesome.
Thus, Songtsan Gambo and Ludongzan discussed for a while and decided to borrow the strength of the Great Tang to help the Tibetans quell the unrest.
"Let them settle down in Chang 'an for half a month before meeting again. The Chamberlain of Dependencies will receive them according to the current reception standards.”Li Shi Min didn't have the mood to care about this, so he dismissed him.
At this moment, Zhangsun Wuji stepped forward and said," Your Majesty, the court examination results have been confirmed yesterday. The results will be announced today. After that, the officials will undergo three months of training."”
"Yes." Li Shiming only replied with one word. This was all part of the plan. There was no need to waste time.
"Dear ministers, do you have any other memorials today?”Li Shiming glanced at the representatives of the aristocratic families.
The hall was extremely quiet, as if everyone knew what was going to happen.
After a few minutes, Censor Lu Minkuan stepped forward and said,""Your Majesty, I heard that Your Majesty wants to cancel the slave status. This is against the ancient rules. There is a saying that there is no square without rules, so I hope Your Majesty can retract your order.”
At this moment, the other representatives of the aristocratic families also jumped out." Your Majesty, please retract your order.”
Li Shiming looked at the few people of His Highness and Lu Minkuan's heroic expression and found it funny.
He knew that after today's incident, he definitely wouldn't be able to get away with it, but he still stood up for the sake of the family.
"Minister Lu, what if Zhen doesn't accept the order and insists on doing things his own way?”Li Shiming sneered at Lu Minkuan, thinking, I want to see how you dance.
Lu Minkuan's current situation did not allow him to hesitate any longer, so he gritted his teeth and said," I wholeheartedly serve the Great Tang, but I have not accepted your advice many times. I am truly disappointed, so I request to resign."”
"We will also resign," those few people also agreed.
"Correct." Li Shiming didn't waste any time and said one word: accurate.
Lu Minkuan was stunned when he heard that. The script shouldn't be like this. This... shouldn't it be that he asked to resign, and then the emperor asked him to stay and retract his order, and finally achieve the good name of 'you are good',' I am good', and 'everyone is good'?
Something was wrong. Lu Minkuan finally realized that something was wrong. It was not just the Emperor who looked at him coldly.
Even the ministers looked at them angrily.
What was going on?
Wouldn't the abolition of slavery also affect them? Shouldn't everyone be on the same side? Why did it look like she wanted to eat him up?
Lu Minkuan felt that his brain was not enough. This guy was also an idiot.
He also thought the same as the other family heads. He was still self-righteous and believed that as long as they resigned collectively, the Emperor would compromise.
But would Li Shi Min compromise? That was definitely impossible.
You guys have already forced me to abdicate, and I still want to compromise? I'll spray it all over your face. Wake up.
Those ministers were also angry. The emperor had not planned to immediately abolish the slave status, but had planned to wait until after the autumn harvest.
Although those ministers also suffered losses, they would only spend some money to hire people when they were busy farming in the future.
However, compared to their official positions, this was nothing that they could afford. They could not just rely on that 10% to 20% of food to survive.
But if you make a fuss like this, the emperor will definitely immediately announce the abolition of slavery. In this way, those people will all run off to reclaim their own land, and our family's grain will not be harvested?
Just let it rot in the ground? Now, those ministers even wanted to eat him up.
Losing some food was already a little unpleasant. Now that you're doing this, you're trying to make their food rot in the ground.
How could they not be popular?
When Lu Minkuan saw this, his heart trembled. Even if he regretted it, it was too late. He could not take back what he had said.
Just as he was wondering what to do next, Li Shimin said," I can give those who want to resign time. You can resign within three months." As long as you ask to resign, you will be accepted."
Li Shimin then turned to face all the ministers." Immediately issue my decree to cancel the slave status and prohibit the human trafficking."”
"Minister of Justice Li Jing, I'll leave it to you to arrange for the formulation of the relevant laws.”
"The Minister of Revenue, Tang Jian, asks you to immediately prepare to register your household registration and provide aid to the people who have their household registration restored.”
"Minister of War Du Keming, I order you to deploy the Sixteen Guards to the various provinces of the Great Tang.”
"Minister of Personnel, Zhangsun Wuji, hurry up and check with the officials of the various states and counties.”
All the ministers in the hall were overwhelmed by Li Shiming's imposing manner. They bowed and replied," Yes, Your Majesty.”
Only those few people were still standing there foolishly.
"If there's nothing else, I'll leave."
Just as Li Shimin was about to retire, Wei Zheng stepped forward and said,"I have something to report."”
