Li Shimin stared angrily at Bai Song, who was kneeling below.
The Empress stood by, seemingly serious, but invisibly letting Li Shimin control his temper.
"Okay, Master Bai is getting more and more courageous, and he dares to bombard the princess! That's the blood of the royal family!"
Faced with Li Shimin's cynicism, Bai Song did not refute at all and listened silently.
Empress Changsun whispered: "Your Majesty, the matter is already very clear. Bai Song also doesn't know the situation. If he knew that Princess Danyang was there, he wouldn't dare even if you gave him a hundred courages."
"The bombardment of the princess is unprecedented and unprecedented. Such an earth-shattering event, you said it was just a misunderstanding."
"Fortunately, Danyang's life is not in danger. He only suffered some skin injuries and a little fright. This kid finally did not make a big mistake."
"Queen, you don't have to say good things for him. He was able to do what he did today only because of your and my indulgence."
"Your Majesty, Bai Song is heading to Jiangnan this time. It is said that the people in Jiangnan are thinking of him. He has won face for the court and has brought peace to countless Jianghu forces. Compared with Danyang's killings and troubles in Jingzhou, Bai Song
His contribution is obviously greater."
"The credit is not worth it! This matter cannot be left alone."
"Your Majesty, do you really have the heart to kill Bai Song?"
Li Shimin frowned. Although he was angry, it was a pity to actually kill Bai Song. After all, Bai Song was the prince's consort and the prince's teacher, and he even created the divine cannon for the Tang Dynasty...
Li Shimin was very angry because he could not find a suitable punishment method.
The queen whispered: "If the emperor can't think of a suitable way to punish Bai Song, I have an idea."
"Come and listen to what the Queen has to say."
"Why don't we punish him by being banned from the Beiding Palace for one year?"
"A year of grounding?" Li Shimin shook his head one after another, "No, no, such a punishment is too light. Not to mention that Danyang is not easy to deal with, and even the civil and military officials of the court will not be convinced."
Bai Song has been listening silently, thinking in his heart that my queen is still the best, and her heart is always towards me. Unlike Li Shimin, a heartless man, we can just show off, what if you really want to kill me?
The queen continued: "I heard that the women of the Beiding Palace complained that their husband-in-law was always wandering away from home and had only a handful of time at home. As a result, the population of the Beiding Palace was thin and they were always worried about the continuation of the incense.
He has been grounded for a year and stayed at home. If he has more children, he will probably not be able to relax at home. His wife will definitely torment him. Calculated in this way, this punishment is not light."
Li Shimin smiled slightly after hearing this, stroking his beard and feeling a little interesting: "The queen's idea is quite reasonable, but it's just too childish. It won't sound good if it's spread out, and it won't convince the public."
"Isn't it difficult to convince the public? The main thing in this matter is to appease Danyang. Why not punish Bai Song's bank and confiscate it to the court, and the court will hand over the bank to Danyang to take care of."
"No!" Bai Song finally couldn't bear it anymore and raised his head and shouted.
Bank confiscation?
How is this possible?
Banking is an industry that Bai Song has worked hard to manage from the beginning, and it is the foundation that supports all his industries!
This husband and wife scam duo!
One person is singing the double act at the same time!
Nowadays, the value of banks is no longer measured by money. In a sense, the collection and release of banknotes can stabilize the entire structure of Datang to a certain extent.
It turns out that the couple had been eyeing their own bank since early on!
This time it is an excuse to use the theme, it is to take back his bank to the imperial court!
"Is it your turn to speak now?" Li Shimin glared at Bai Song fiercely, "For your crime, I will kill you a hundred times! You choose for yourself, whether you want the bank or the lives of your whole family!"
"
Bai Song was at a loss for words, wondering if this was a threat?
Li Shimin said harsh words, and Empress Changsun comforted her one after another: "Bai Song, with your current family fortune, money is no longer of any importance to you. If the bank is returned to the court, you can also pay more attention to spending time with your family, otherwise I will
Your daughter comes to complain every day. She has become a harem at such a young age. How can you bear it? Besides, you have caused a big disaster this time. If there is not a convincing enough punishment, the civil and military officials of the entire court will be against you.
If you are dissatisfied, what's wrong with giving up some external things to keep yourself safe?"
Bai Song's face was full of confusion. He never thought that the final punishment would be to cede the bank! What is the difference between this and robbing his own child?
The queen then explained: "Danyang almost lost his life. If you don't show an attitude, you will make other royal bloodline hostile. Handing your bank to Danyang is to let Danyang regain some face. Both sides will look good.
Some. Moreover, Danyang has been involved in too many military matters recently, and the emperor does not like her doing these things. Giving her the bank to take care of is also a way for her to take away her hands from the military, which is also a restriction for her."
"After all, you still have to cut off my flesh!" Bai Song muttered angrily.
Li Shimin said angrily: "Do you want to cut off the flesh or behead your head?"
"I have to bow my head when I'm under the eaves. The emperor wants to cut me off. What else can I say?"
…
One day later, Li Shimin promulgated an imperial edict in the court that the Bai Song Dynasty was banned for one year. Mobai Bank was placed under the control of the court and divided into the Household Department. Princess Danyang was temporarily responsible for all affairs.
The civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty directly filtered down to the punishment of Bai Song's one-year ban, and everyone was talking about Mo Bai Qianzhuang.
This is a big event. Now the silver notes issued by Mobai Bank have become the common currency of the Tang Dynasty, especially in Chang'an City, where silver notes have become a new currency that replaces silver and copper coins.
The imperial court has been jealous for many years, and today it is finally under the imperial control.
How rich is this Mobai Bank?
Some people estimate that its actual silver reserves are not as good as the national treasury, but its capital flows are ten times that of the national treasury.
If all of Mobai Bank were taken over by the imperial court, even if nothing was done, it would be enough for the imperial palace to survive for a hundred years.
Originally, the ministers were filled with indignation over Bai Song's attack on Princess Danyang. Upon hearing such punishment, everyone began to pity Bai Song, because they could all see that the emperor was trying to take advantage of the fire, and his methods were indeed despicable.
.
If such a huge mountain of gold and silver is thrown at Princess Danyang again, no matter what complaints the princess has, she will probably be happy now, right?
At the same time as the imperial edict was issued, the people in the court began to clean up Mobai Money Bank.
The person who suffered the biggest blow from this incident was Qing'er. Although Bai Song proposed the bank, she built it step by step.
Seeing her money bank being snatched away by the court, Qing'er was packing her belongings and wiping her eyes.
All the clerks in the bank cried together as they looked at the shop that had been there for several years, and the people passing by were also sighing.
But change is change after all, and the facts are irreversible.
