Chapter 144 Unprepared
At this time, Suning also had doubts in his heart. After all, these people were following him.
Suning was also stunned.
He looked at Li Shimin in surprise.
Unexpectedly, Li Shimin said that he could be named Duke.
It was a little unprepared, and even a little unbelievable.
too fast.
So fast that Suning himself felt unreal.
Even Suning himself thinks so, and Wu Zixuan and others naturally think so.
"Your Majesty, General Suning is young. It took less than a month for him to become Lord of Wannian County in less than a month."
"If you continue to be named Duke now, it will cause instability in the country, and it will make many veterans feel uneasy."
Wu Zixuan stepped forward to stop it.
He felt that Suning was going to be promoted to Duke so soon, and he felt very uncomfortable.
I waited for others to work hard for half my life, only to get the title of Duke, how old is Suning?
The things contributed are indeed extraordinary, but which one present has not made great achievements?
If he was proclaimed the Duke of the state like this, not only the people present would not accept it, but the people below would probably make trouble.
"Your Majesty, I think what Prime Minister You said is very true."
Qingfeng Li also stood up to stop him.
After he stood up, except for Du Ruhui, Fang Xuanling, and Changsun Wuji, everyone else stood up.
The position of Duke is almost the title of an extremely human minister.
Although he has no power, he represents the highest glory, which is almost the ceiling of Datang's current title.
Although the titles of Taishi, Taifu, Taibao, Taiwei, Situ, Sikong and so on exist, most of them are titles given to dead people.
Therefore, as a courtier, the position of duke is already the highest title they can obtain.
Let a young man under the age of 20 become the Duke of the country, how many officials will agree?
"This"
Li Shimin suddenly looked ugly.
He was upset and felt that Suning's title was too low and inappropriate.
Those sons are all named princes, and his eldest son is the county magistrate.
So unworthy.
Therefore, I looked at Du Ruhui, hoping that Du Ruhui and the others could stand up and say something nice.
just.
Du Ruhui and Fang Xuanling pretended not to see Li Shimin's eyes, lowered their heads and did not speak.
The three of them knew Suning's identity.
But they also felt it was inappropriate to make Suning the Duke of the country.
No, it's not right.
When Suning did not reveal his identity as the eldest prince, the title of Duke would have an impact on the stability of the court.
It will make the courtiers below feel unbalanced.
If you judge others by yourself, if you don't know Suning's identity, Du Ruhui and the others will also be jealous.
"Then let's save all the credit first."
Li Shimin had no choice but to write down Suning's credit first, and then count it out later.
Although he is an emperor, there are many things he cannot do, and he must care about the opinions of the ministers.
As Wu Zixuan said, it will make the ministers below feel unbalanced.
"Your Majesty is wise!"
Wu Zixuan and others breathed a sigh of relief, and praised Li Shimin for being wise.
Can make the emperor listen to them, Wu Zixuan and others are more concerned about the relationship between the monarch and his ministers.
In Datang, the emperor's power was not highly centralized.
There is also the existence of the system of three provinces and six ministries that restricts the imperial power.
The relationship between the emperor and his ministers is that of a monarch and his ministers, not that of a king and his servants.
"Su Ning, I will remember your achievements, and I will not forget to give you benefits when the time comes."
Li Shimin looked at Suning and spoke sincerely.
That tone made all the ministers present feel sour.
It's really people-to-people, maddening people.
His Majesty is so kind to Suning.
"General Su Ning, I have received the news that you have taken back all of Wu's treasures, where are you?"
Wu Zixuan said in a deep voice.
He had just been thinking about the Wu family's treasure.
Now as the prime minister, he needs money in many places and urgently needs Wu's money to be charged to the treasury so that more of his decisions can be implemented.
Instead of saying that you have no money when you do this thing, you say you have no money when you do another thing.
He spends money all day long, and he, the prime minister, said it was difficult to do.
"It has been transported to the gate of the palace."
"With a word from His Majesty, the soldiers can be transported into the palace."
Suning responded respectfully.
But his eyes looked at Wu Zixuan calmly.
He felt that Wu Zixuan seemed to be not very friendly to him.
Although there is no excessive difference in words and deeds, the feeling is very real.
There seems to be a kind of hostility.
"Wu's treasure?"
"Hahaha, okay, okay, Suning, you are doing well."
"Hurry up and let the soldiers transport Wu's treasures into the palace."
Li Shimin was overjoyed.
He's been living in a tighter belt for days.
Thinking of the days when Empress Changsun cooked for the two of them, it was all vegetarian dishes, and Li Shimin felt sad for a while.
He swore that after the money was poured into the national treasury, he must have a good meal, and he would not live in such a difficult life in the future.
Sigh. Everyone thinks it’s good to be an emperor, but who knows my difficulties?
A eunuch ordered to go down.
quickly.
Soldiers came in carrying boxes one by one.
Seeing the long queue, Li Shimin and others immediately became excited.
One box, two boxes, three boxes.
Seeing more and more boxes of treasure being carried in, Li Shimin became more and more restless.
In the end, he couldn't hold back and stood up from the dragon seat.
"Hahaha"
"Open, open all the top boxes and show me."
Li Shimin couldn't wait, and immediately asked the soldiers to open the top box.
for a moment.
The jewels emanating from the box made the ministers present gasp.
Although they are high and powerful, who ever owned so much wealth?
In the early years of Zhenguan, the common people were very poor, and officials were not blessed.
In particular, Du Ruhui has severely suppressed corruption in recent years as prime minister.
One thing that is certain is that the combined property of all the officials present is not half as much as here.
"Su Ning, how many boxes are here?"
Li Shimin spoke with a trembling voice.
Du Ruhui, Wu Zixuan and other courtiers also looked at Suning excitedly.
At the beginning, they counted the boxes.
But later I found that there were too many, so I stopped counting.
"Return to Your Majesty, there are 110 boxes in total."
Suning spoke respectfully.
When he finished speaking, he still didn't forget to sneak a glance at Li Shimin.
The corners of Li Shimin's mouth suddenly twitched, and his head jerked from the box to look at Suning.
Isn't there a total of 220 five boxes?
How did it get into my hands, and it lost more than half?
This kid has too much greed, right?
Li Shimin is the direct commander of the Black Armor Army.
As for matters in the military, he had almost no problem knowing what to do.
He knew exactly how many boxes of treasures the Heijia Army had collected from the Wu family.
It is because of knowing that I lamented Suning's courage.
What the hell, if I expose him, he will be beheaded, right?
If it was the children of Li Chengqian or Li Tai, Li Shimin really wanted to educate them well.
But this is Suning
dear son, dear son, dear son
Li Shimin muttered in his heart, and in the end he didn't show anything wrong, nor did he tell him face to face.
After all, blood is thicker than water!
