The next day, in the Dew Palace.
The ministers went to court early.
Second Emperor Li sat on the dragon throne, not angry but dignified.
Due to his rage yesterday, the officials were all very careful today, standing with their heads lowered.
"One night has passed. Have you come up with any good ideas?”Second Emperor Li asked in a deep voice.
After a while, he received a response.
"Your Majesty, I have a method that might work.”The one who spoke was Zhangsun Wuji.
His face was a little pale. It seemed that he did not rest well last night.
"Just say it!" Li Er replied.
"This subject believes that the Beiting Protectorate must be established!”
"As for the money and food that we lack, we can ask the various aristocratic families to donate!”
"Oh?" His Majesty Li Er was surprised!
Zhangsun Wuji was the representative of the Longxi aristocratic families. He was also the official with the highest status among the officials who came from the aristocratic families in the court.
Now that he actually said such words, Second Emperor Li was greatly surprised!
Now that the Great Tang had just been established, the vast majority of officials were elected by the great clans.
Outside of the royal court, the various aristocratic families were also spiritual leaders in the hearts of the scholars. Their influence was very strong.
Li Shi Min was a powerful man, so he naturally wouldn't let these people go out of his control.
Therefore, he had never stopped weakening the aristocratic families.
As for Zhangsun Wuji, who was a great contributor to the founding of the country, he had gradually drifted away from him in the past two years.
Although he was still a loyal official, he still couldn't avoid protecting the interests of the aristocratic families.
His Majesty Li Er understood. Since he had spoken, it meant that they had discussed this matter last night and reached a consensus.
That was indeed the case. They had not slept all night yesterday.
It was difficult to guess the Emperor's thoughts. After a night of discussion, they came to a conclusion.
The reason why His Majesty was angry yesterday was to test these aristocratic families!
It could be seen from the Emperor's attitude that he was determined to obtain the Beiting Protectorate!
If the aristocratic families did not set an example at this time, it was very likely that the conflict between them and the emperor would intensify.
If Second Emperor Li really started a war with them, the consequences would be unimaginable!
They really could not think of any other way for His Majesty to solve this problem other than using his own family's treasury!
With no other choice, everyone unanimously decided to compromise for the time being!
"Rest assured, Your Majesty. This subject has already communicated that everyone is willing to do this for the Great Tang!”Zhangsun Wuji continued.
After he finished speaking, he stood with his hands by his side. After a long time, he heard Second Emperor Li's reply.
"I am very relieved that you have such a heart.”
"But there's no need for that. Zhen has a better way!”
Second Emperor Li's answer had greatly exceeded Zhangsun Wuji's expectations!
Was there a better way?
His face was filled with surprise!
Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui, who already knew the inside story, twitched their lips.
Your Majesty, this is another show of divinity!!
Second Emperor Li cleared his throat and told the ministers about the workshop in detail.
After he finished speaking, all the officials in the Dew Palace revealed incomparably shocked expressions!
His Majesty's idea was simply out of the ordinary and unimaginable!
However, if he really did as His Majesty said, he could indeed fill the national treasury without hurting anyone's interests!
The Eastern Turkic matter would naturally be resolved!
The ministers who had followed Second Emperor Li to conquer the world were shocked beyond words!
From the moment he fought against the Eastern Turks, His Majesty seemed to have become a completely different person!
Wise and ingenious decisions were made one after another!
Every single one of them was so stunning!!
Everyone looked at Second Emperor Li with even more admiration!
Li Er looked around and looked at the ministers with a very satisfied expression!
What made him feel the most carefree was that even Wei Zheng, that stubborn old man who often nitpicked, was shocked to the point that his soul was out of his body!
She looked at him with a complicated gaze!
This made him feel extremely carefree!
"Do you have any objections?" Li Er asked loudly.
After a while, Zhangsun Wuji stepped forward and said,
"Your Majesty is wise. This method is truly exquisite!”
Then, a chorus of voices echoed in the hall.
"Your Majesty is wise!"
"Your Majesty is indeed a famous monarch!"
......
"In that case, I'll leave this matter to you!”
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Zhangsun Wuji understood. The Emperor wanted their Longxi family to set an example and transfer the money to the workshop that was about to be established.
He didn't feel too conflicted about this.
With so many aristocratic families involved, the Emperor could not possibly take advantage of this to plunder their property.
Compared to the strategy they had set before, they were also the ones who benefited from this method. Why not?
"Do you have anything else to report? If you don't have any, then disperse!"
Just like that, the ministers began to leave the court in a daze.
Along the way, there were many discussions.
Second Emperor Li was in a very good mood!
Extremely happy!
Therefore, in his heart, Li Yun's status had once again risen a bit!
This child was like an auspicious omen of the Great Tang. He couldn't be allowed to escape!
"Perhaps the Guanyin maid is right. It might be safer to let this kid become my son-in-law?”
he muttered to himself.
