The eunuchs in the palace had obviously mastered the laying skills, and Chen Zhengtai could easily hand over the task to them.

It’s better to go to this inner land less!

But the heating system caused a stir in this inner palace.

There were many concubines in the palace. I heard that only the concubines were paved with the bedrooms of Empress Changsun and Concubine Zhou. The Empress Changsun naturally had nothing to say, but Concubine Zhou couldn't help but make people jealous.

I don’t know how many people have higher status than Concubine Zhou. She has neither a strong family nor a son for the emperor. Why?

Concubine Zhou felt that she was pushed to the forefront, but fortunately... she was favored at this time, and no one dared to provoke her.

I also heard that Princess Sui'an is very powerful outside now. She has a huge industry, can compete with the prince, and is also familiar with the newly famous Chen Zhengtai.

His Majesty often mentions Chen Zhengtai. Chen Zhengtai is the foreign aid of Concubine Zhou outside the palace, and the power of the Chen family is vaguely comparable to that of the Wei family.

You know, the Wei family in Jingzhao, which is the mother's home of Concubine Wei, dare not say that it can be compared with the seven families of the five surnames and seven families, has also produced many talents.

There were more than 300 Wei family members who entered the officialdom, which were filled with the court and local prefectures, not to mention their disciples and former officials.

This is why, although Concubine Wei is in a second marriage, His Majesty wants to marry her and even enthrone her as Concubine.

The Chen family has risen strongly, but after all, the days are still short, and not many of them have taken office in the family, which is only a handful of them. In addition, their family's past bad deeds are even less popular.

But Chen Zhengtai is at its peak now, and it is still something that cannot be underestimated.

But the pipe was laid to Concubine Zhou, but no one dared to talk too much. He wanted to lay it out. OK, just give me money!

Chen Zhengtai charges 300 jin per zhang, and lays according to the distance. In addition, the annual coal burning fee is paid, 500 jin per year.

When everyone heard this number, they became honest.

The censor Yao Silian submitted a memorial and impeached Chen Zhengtai.

But Your Majesty did not respond much, and most of the past ten people left this memorial!

Yao Silian was a little dissatisfied. Your Majesty should be good at doing good. At least you can say a word. Chen Zhengtai is the right son of the Eastern Palace after all, and he has a great relationship. He is responsible for guiding the prince!

If such a person is extravagant and encourages His Majesty to spend money like this, it will be great. In the future, the emperor and the prince will follow suit. Isn’t this the father and son both become Emperor Yang of Sui?

Yushi Yao was very unhappy and decided to write another memorial with stern words.

This time, his tone was even heavier, and he looked like a foolish monarch if His Majesty refused to punish Chen Zhengtai and dismantled the coal stove.

After writing the memorial, I immediately sent it to the door to the village.

He felt satisfied again.

But soon, an eunuch came and said, "Civil Secretary Yao, His Majesty summoned."

After hearing this, Yao Silian was calm and said to the other censors on both sides: "I am afraid that there will be more and more dangers."

The censors looked admiring: "Mr. Yao is admirable."

In fact, this is something the censors often do. They impeach people every now and then, and they all act like they want to fight to the death!

The higher the status of the person you fight to the death, the more admirable it is.

Today's emperors have opened up their own ways of speaking. Those who like to curse can curse whatever you want. If I, Li Shimin, is considered to be my loss.

So... for a moment, the trend of supervising the emperor became popular. Without scolding Li Erlang, he would not be relieved. Not only did he curse, but he also pretended to be scolded by the emperor himself, and he might be retaliated against by the emperor at any time! In this way... he could become famous.

Of course, they were standing on the first level, and they thought that if I scold Li Erlang, I became a strong official and became an iron-clad minister.

Li Shimin is on the second level, and I am doing good deeds. Even if you scold me, I will become a wise king who can correct mistakes.

Sometimes there are people standing on the third level. I know that you, Li Erlang, hope to become a wise king who is good at doing good, so I scold you even more. If you catch you rubbing on the ground, you will lose in history if you don’t scold me.

Now, Li Shimin stood on the fourth floor. He knew that some people already knew that they wanted this reputation, so they jumped up and scolded themselves, but you can scold them, just curse them casually. I blushed, and I admire you. Not only did I not blush, I was also promoted to your official position.

As soon as the atmosphere opened, it became lively.

At least Yao Silian developed the good habit of scolding Li Er every now and then. Every morning, he started to think about what was wrong with Li Er doing. What was wrong with his ministers yesterday?

Now, two memorials have been criticized by Li Shimin for being foolish. I thought Li Shimin would be very calm and continue to pretend to be dead, or give a decree, saying that I was really wrong this time and I will definitely correct it next time.

But I never thought that... this time, the memorial was handed over, and the other side immediately summoned him to the imperial court.

Now it's OK.

I am afraid that today's correct report will be recorded in history again.

Yao Silian was not afraid. He walked slowly to Xuanzheng Hall with a calm look on his face, but saw Li Shimin sitting upright in front of the imperial case.

The prince and Chen Zhengtai were actually there, standing on the left side of the lower head, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui and Changsun Wuji were on the other side.

There was also a Ma Zhou standing in the corner. Ma Zhou was very inconspicuous here. He was originally mediocre. Moreover, because his family was poor, he was not like the children of aristocratic families. He was trained since childhood and his words and deeds were inevitably a bit of detachment and nobleness.

Yao Silian politely said, "I have met Your Majesty."

Li Shimin glanced at him and said lightly: "I have read your memorial. What's wrong with me if my disciples build me a coal stove for warming me? You actually called me a foolish monarch and my disciples a slander. Is this what the minister should do?"

Yao Silian didn't expect that when His Majesty came, he changed his previous attitude and scolded him bloodily.

This is a little bit wrong.

He calmed down and immediately said with a sensation: "Your Majesty, how much does this coal stove cost?"

Li Shimin said directly: "How much is spent is Chen Zhengtai's money."

"Didn't Chen Zhengtai's money be taken from the people's fat and ointment?" Yao Silian said righteously: "Isn't it taken from the people?"

Li Shimin narrowed his eyes and looked at Yao Silian. Yao Silian spoke in a very strong tone. Of course, this was also due to the customs of the censors of the current dynasty.

Chen Zhengtai smiled and said with a smile: "What Mr. Yao said is very true. The Chen family's money is taken from the people, and it is all the people's wealth and ointment for the people. So... the Yao family's money from Wuxing is also taken from the people, right? Otherwise, the Chen family is willing to offer 100,000 guan to the national treasury, and the Yao family also gets some people's wealth and ointment. How about it?"

When Fang Xuanling heard that the Chen family was going to pay for another money, he suddenly opened his eyes and shone brightly.

As the Minister of the Central Secretariat, Fang Xuanling liked the ministers to quarrel the most... He moved into the treasury with more money than who has more money.

Yao Silian was speechless for a moment, and after a long time, he said angrily: "What are these words? My Yao family..."

"Don't say that your Yao family has no money..." Chen Zhengtai said seriously: "Not to say anything else, your Yao family in Wuxing sold it to Erpigou for 70,000 acres of land a few months ago, and the total amount was 210,000 guan. I won't say that your Yao family has other savings and land. Is this 210,000 guan? Is this still there? 210,000 guan? How much money is this? I dare to ask Mr. Yao, your family, you have been eating and wearing for a thousand years, and you can use this 210,000 guan? How much is the case for you now? You are unwilling to pay even 100,000 guan? How many common people can help? Why not do this? The Yao family has paid 100,000 guan and my Chen family has paid 300,000 guan. How about it? I won't bully you. This matter is settled."

Fang Xuanling felt that happiness came too quickly, and she was a little dizzy and her whole body was floating.

Li Shimin couldn't help but feel a little happy. He wanted everyone to do this.

Yao Silian was furious for a moment and said sternly: "Chen Zhengtai, don't mess around..."

He was speechless. When the land was sold to your Chen family, he had already suffered a huge loss. The Yao family almost all fell back into poverty. Now you are still lit up my family’s money. Are you doing this?

"How can I mess around?" Chen Zhengtai looked at him innocently and said, "I am just like my mentor. I only have the people in my heart. Seeing that the people are not covered in clothes and cannot fill their stomachs, I feel worried. So I am willing to give up all my family's wealth. Mr. Yao is a minister and his family is so rich. Isn't it okay to take out a little bit?"

Yao Silian stared at him angrily and said, "I don't want to argue with you about this. What I want to say is that Your Majesty cannot... be so extravagant..."

Chen Zhengtai said, "Twenty-one thousand coins are enough for the Yao family to spend many lifetimes. How much land does your family have and how much money does it hide?"

Yao Silian looked angry and was about to vomit blood: "We are talking about official affairs now, not private affairs. If you have any private affairs, you can tell me privately that this is Xuanzheng Hall, not your home."

Chen Zhengtai opened his eyes wide and said strangely: "This is strange. Since this is a private matter, then I spent my own money to build a coal stove for my mentor without spending half of the public funds. How could it become a public business? Is it only your family's affairs, all of them are private affairs, and my Chen family's affairs are all public affairs? I am wronged, Mr. Yao..."

Yao Silian: “…”

I just cursed casually, why are you more serious?

Hate.

Yao Silian was so angry that she was so angry that she said with sarcasm: "The affairs of your Chen family are of course private, but it involves the palace, and the Tian family is selfless!"

This is very clear. The emperor's affairs are all public and private matters.

Yao Silian is still quite theoretical and will not be fooled by Chen Zhengtai.

But after he finished speaking, Li Shimin snorted coldly, threw down an imperial edict and said, "Is this how Yao Qing acted as a minister?"

This sudden shout made Yao Silian feel a little overwhelmed. What did he say wrong?
