Chapter 84 Intention!

"What? Your Majesty is not dreaming, is it possible that a journey of more than a month can be completed in a few days?"

"I feel that His Majesty must have some new ideas about the north. It is very likely that this will require military action, otherwise His Majesty would not be so roundabout!"

"The consort must have done something behind his back again. If His Majesty really wants to use weapons this time, it will not be a good thing for Datang!"

Li Shimin's words caused an uproar in the hall. Everyone's expressions changed drastically and they started talking among themselves, speculating about what Li Shimin wanted to do.

To know.

The current national treasury is not so full, and it has been less than a year since the last time the Turks were repelled, so buying new weapons and other things outside has consumed a lot.

With the current state, it is not enough to support Datang to go to war!
"Your Majesty... Your Majesty, are you preparing for war?" Changsun Wuji took a deep breath and asked, suppressing the shock in his heart.

"War?" Only when Li Jing shook his head and followed Li Shimin to the Great North, did he know how shocking the train was. His Majesty is probably trying to use the power of the whole country to build the railway.

Fang Xuanling, Wei Zheng and the others are ready. Once they get a definite answer from Li Shimin, they will rush forward and resolutely oppose such a thing from happening.

"I'm just using this incident as an example..." Li Shimin shook his head.

He knew that these guys would think too much, but he couldn't find a suitable example for a while, so he could only use this method that everyone understood to promote trains and railways.

After receiving a negative answer, most people breathed a sigh of relief.

As long as it doesn't start a war...

"Then...then His Majesty wants to..." Fang Xuanling stood up.

"My biggest feeling in the north this time is that I experienced something called a train..." Li Shimin took a deep breath, and described his experience of taking a train in great detail.

Not only that.

He also described to everyone what he saw during his second trip.

In particular, Li Shimin made it very clear what benefits the emergence of trains and railways brought to the people, and what the situation would be like if railways connected the whole world.

As soon as these words were uttered, the hall immediately fell into silence, and everyone looked at Li Shimin dumbfounded, as if they were looking at an abnormal person.

If Li Shimin hadn't said what he said just now, many people in the hall would not have listened to it.

What's the difference between that and bullshit?
"Your Majesty, the son-in-law you mentioned has indeed brought a lot of convenience to the court, but the court has also paid a lot, so he is not a disadvantage!"

"But even so, the words of the son-in-law cannot be believed at will, especially such things that almost belong to the Arabian Nights!"

"We have so many talented people in the Tang Dynasty, His Majesty cannot be alone with his heart..." Wei Zheng couldn't bear it anymore, stood up and looked at Li Shimin very seriously and said.

Regarding Li Shimin's attitude towards Su Feng, Wei Zheng had already had an opinion, but what Su Feng did before was of many benefits to the court, and he never had the opportunity to speak up.

Now that he has finally seized the opportunity, of course he will attack the other party mercilessly.

He has already discovered that Li Shimin seems to be completely led by the other party now, as if Li Shimin will believe what the son-in-law says without hesitation.

Even if it's such a nonsense thing!

"You mean, I've been bewitched by someone?" Li Shimin's eyes turned cold.

"I'm just reminding Your Majesty..." Wei Zheng looked at Li Shimin unflinchingly.

If he shrinks back at this time, His Majesty the Emperor may make a big mistake.

"The things I said just now are all from my personal experience here, not just what I heard from others. I have already said it very clearly here. If something like a train can run through the north and the south, the benefits will definitely be in my mind. Also clear!"

"The problem now is that it will take a lot of money to accomplish this, that is, the annual income of the imperial court. I need the support of all of you for this important event!" Li Shimin simply said all the words .

Things were just as he thought, when he mentioned that he would spend a year's income from the national treasury, everything he said just now became unimportant.

All eyes are on the year's income!
That’s tens of millions of silver!
"Your Majesty, absolutely impossible..."

"Your Majesty, the national treasury can no longer withstand such a big toss. Once such a large amount is consumed, if there is any incident at the border, it will definitely shake the country's foundation!"

"Yes, Your Majesty, there is a fixed amount of things that need to be consumed every year, and the treasury must not be used lightly!"

Before Wei Zheng and others could speak, the other ministers couldn't sit still.

Damn it, it’s crazy to spend so much money to build a railway.

"Your Majesty, if Your Majesty really wants to do this, then the old minister can only remonstrate with death!" Before Li Shimin could speak, one of the older men made a gesture of wanting to be killed.

The scene became chaotic for a while!
This made Li Shimin very unhappy. He hadn't done anything specifically yet, but these people were reacting like this. Could it be that he couldn't accomplish anything he wanted to do?
Changsun Wuji and Fang Xuanling are very smart. At such times, they usually don't take the initiative to speak. They understand Li Shimin's temper very well.

Once the other party is pushed into a hurry, even if everyone objects, he will force it to do it. In the end, not only will it not change any results, but it will also cause him to lose face in front of the emperor.

They wouldn't do such a stupid thing!

"Enough..." With Li Shimin's roar, the scene fell silent instantly.

The old man who was pretending to be killed here also stopped at this moment, looking at Li Shimin with horror on his face.

It wasn't until this time that he realized that it seemed that he was the only one who had done such an extreme thing.

Some are too big to play!
"I have already decided on this matter. I will continue to do it no matter what. If you have anything to say, let's save it for later!" Li Shimin flicked his sleeves, turned around and left.

Only the vast majority of people were left standing in the Tai Chi Hall with a dazed expression on their faces.

Since he has already decided to do this, why is there such a fuss today?
In fact.

It was not easy for Li Shimin to do this. According to his temper, he would not let the person who admonished him with death just now live no matter what.

of course.

There is another very important reason why he insisted on doing this, that is, he sensed another kind of information from Su Feng...
