Man Tanghong

Chapter 729
Xie Shufang reluctantly stayed, and Li Shentong took him to find an empty place next to the Taiji Hall, said a few polite words, and then asked Xie Shufang and others about the five things Li Yuanji proposed today. Year policy view.

Xie Shufang smiled wryly and said, "Father-in-law, you saw it in the hall today, we don't have any idea."

Li Shentong stared and said: "Don't be sloppy, you have no idea, Su Dingfang will have no idea, Hou Junji, the guy who is about to write the word "drilling camp" on his face, will have no idea?"

Xie Shufang said with a bitter face: "Father-in-law, what His Highness said in the court today is civil affairs, not military affairs, and as the leaders of the army, we should not get involved in these matters.

Besides, didn't you teach me that if you are not in your position, you don't plan for politics.

Why do you want me to get involved and face it now? "

Li Shentong was a little embarrassed by Xie Shufang's question, and couldn't help but said: "I also hope that you will make further progress in the court, besides, it is of course wise to protect yourself if you are not in your position and do not seek other government affairs.

But like the things discussed today, if you can get involved, you can still get involved. "

Xie Shufang always felt that Lao Taishan's words were not true, but it was not easy to expose Lao Taishan face to face, so he agreed with a few words.

Li Shentong did not chase after Xie Shufang to ask questions, but happily let Xie Shufang go.

However, before releasing Xie Shufang to leave, he specifically asked Xie Shufang to get together with Su Dingfang and the others after leaving the palace, and ask Su Dingfang and the others what they thought of the five-year policy proposed by the court today.

Xie Shufang didn't know Lao Taishan's purpose, but he still agreed.

After Xie Shufang walked away, Li Shentong let out a long sigh.

As the current head of the Datang military, he has to speak on behalf of the military for many things that happened in the court and many important decisions.

Now Li Yuanji said several five-year strategies, he can only understand the general idea, he can't understand the deep meaning of them, and the various impacts that these strategies will have after they are implemented.

So he had to rely on the brains of smart military people like Su Dingfang and Hou Junji to help him analyze this matter.

It's just that Su Dingfang, Hou Junji and others didn't say a word in the courtroom today, and they looked like they had nothing to do with themselves, which made him very depressed.

Fortunately, he has a good son-in-law, and he has a good relationship with Su Dingfang and others. It is also a way to let his son-in-law test the attitude of Su Dingfang and others.

It's just that he couldn't pin all his hopes on his son-in-law, in case Su Dingfang, Hou Junji and others saw his son-in-law's intentions and continued to keep silent.

In the court three days later, he would not be able to express his position on behalf of the military.

Thinking of this, Li Shentong began to miss Li Xiaogong. If Li Xiaogong was there, he would be able to analyze the deep meaning of Li Yuanji's five-year policy. Even if he couldn't analyze it, he would find a way to find out about it Click on the news.

In that case, he wouldn't have to be as embarrassed as he is now.

"That's all, I'll go find Shi Wanbao again and see what he thinks about these things."

Li Shentong sighed with emotion to himself, and hurried out of the palace to see Shi Wanbao.

Shi Wanbao has been reused since he saved his family during the spring plowing, and now he is the Secretary of the Ministry of Punishments among the six departments. Together with Dali Temple, he is in charge of all punishments in the Tang Dynasty.

Although Shi Wanbao is more than 70 years old and older than Li Gang and Pei Ju, he looks more energetic than Li Gang and Pei Ju, and he can eat a big bowl of soup and cakes for a meal, and he can swing dozens of catties The iron lance looks like it can live for many years.

In addition, Shi Wanbao was born as a general, and when he was young, he was in the rivers and lakes. He is quite good at life and work.

In more than a month as Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, he uncovered more than 100 old cases, helped hundreds of people clear their grievances, and became friends with many important officials in the court.

In the future, as long as Shi Wanbao doesn't lack energy and corrects mistakes, he may be able to stay in the position of minister of the Ministry of punishment for several years, and he may even become a figure in the real power faction in the six parts.

So Li Shentong didn't mind walking around with Shi Wanbao to cultivate some friendship in advance.

When Li Shentong rushed to Yuan Guogong's mansion in a light car, Shi Wanbao was having a banquet with a group of retainers.

Unlike other dignitaries, Shi Wanbao didn't raise trilogy, but raised many retainers who were mixed up in the rivers and lakes, just like the retainers in the pre-Qin period.

These people are in Yuan Guogong's mansion, eating and drinking all day long, and have nothing to do.

But when Shi Wanbao needs someone to help him with an idea, these people can give him a good idea right away.

When Shi Wanbao needs a dead man, these people will act as a dead man for him without hesitation.

It can be said that Shi Wanbao lived his life like the dignitaries in the pre-Qin period, which seemed a bit out of tune with the dignitaries in the Tang Dynasty.

However, his unconventional behavior was not rejected by the powerful, nor did it arouse criticism from the powerful. Instead, he was praised by the powerful for having a pre-Qin legacy.

"Patriarch, His Royal Highness King Huai'an has arrived and wants to see you."

The steward of the front yard ran to Shi Wanbao to report when Shi Wanbao had just drunk it.

Shi Wanbao was stunned for a moment, put down the wine jar, and said with a big smile, "This is an honored guest, quickly open the middle door, and call those little brats in the house, let's go to welcome them together."

The steward of the front yard smiled and agreed, and went to deliver Shi Wanbao's order.

After Shi Wanbao apologized to his retainers, he dressed neatly and rushed to the gate to meet Li Shentong.

Seeing Shi Wanbao opening the middle door wide and bringing his whole family to welcome him, Li Shentong couldn't laugh or cry.

"Mr. Yuan, I am visiting privately today, so why are you making such a big fuss?"

Li Shentong said it funny when Shi Wanbao brought his wife and children and grandchildren to salute.

Shi Wanbao bowed his body, and said solemnly: "Courtesy cannot be discarded..."

Li Shentong shook his head, and after accompanying Shi Wanbao through a set of standard visiting etiquette, he was guided by Shi Wanbao to the main hall of Yuan Guogong's mansion to talk.

After Li Shentong sat down, he didn't hide anything, and said straight to the point: "Mr. Yuan, to tell you the truth, I came to ask you for advice today."

"Don't dare, don't dare..."

Shi Wanbao waved his hands again and again with a humble expression on his face.

Seeing this, Li Shentong exchanged some polite words with Shi Wanbao before he understood his intention, "Mr. Yuan, what do you think of the five-year policies proposed by Yuan Ji at the court today?"

Shi Wanbao just picked up the teacup and handed it to his mouth, when he heard Li Shentong's words, he was slightly taken aback, then put down the teacup slowly, and said in astonishment: "You came here to find me just for this matter? "

Li Shentong joked with a smile: "Why, do you think I'm stupid, can't even figure this out?"

Shi Wanbao hurriedly said: "No, no, I just think that you think too much because you are too smart."

Li Shentong was stunned and said, "Why did Mr. Yuan make such a statement?"

Shi Wanbao said with a smile: "Since His Highness King Yong can bring up these matters in front of civil and military officials, it means that His Highness King Yong has already made a decision in his heart.

You are the Da Zongzheng of the royal family, you were born on the side of His Royal Highness Yong, and your minister was raised by His Royal Highness, so naturally you also sided with His Highness Yong.

Since we are all on His Highness King Yong's side, what else do we want to do so much.

Whatever His Royal Highness King Yong asks us to do, we will do so. "

Li Shentong was dumbfounded by Shi Wanbao's words, and after a long time, he sincerely said with emotion: "You can see clearly, I was really clever but I was mistaken by my cleverness.

Since we are all on Yuan Ji's side, it is indeed what Yuan Ji said, we just do what we do, and we don't need to think about other things. "

Shi Wanbao laughed and said: "I'm just a vulgar person, I don't understand many principles, and I only have some stupid opinions, and I don't know if they are useful."

Li Shentong smiled and said: "It works! Why is it useless! What you said is not some stupid opinion, but a real insight."

Shi Wanbao smiled modestly: "It's because you understand it in your heart, otherwise, no matter how much I talk, it will be useless."

Li Shentong laughed, and stopped talking about this topic with Shi Wanbao, but chatted about homework with Shi Wanbao.

Both of them are old, Shi Wanbao is still very old, and has a lot of knowledge and experience, so there are many topics in common after chatting.

At the end of the chat, there was actually a bit of sympathy.

Ever since, with a wave of Shi Wanbao's hand, his young daughter appeared beside Li Shentong out of nowhere.

Li Shentong inexplicably added a side room, and Xie Shufang inexplicably added a mother-in-law.

three days.

fleeting.

Li Shentong, who had been a groom for three days in the mansion, reappeared in the Taiji Hall.

I don't know if it's Shi Wanbao's young girl who is too fierce, or Li Shentong is getting old and a little bit weak, in short, Li Shentong has become very sluggish.

But when Li Yuanji asked everyone's views on several five-year policies.

Li Shentong still represented the military and expressed his views.

That is to support all Li Yuanji's decisions wholeheartedly.

In comparison, Li Gang and others have more and more complex views.

Some people chose to accept all five-year policies, some chose half of them, and still others rejected them all.

Among them, the most controversial ones are the liberation of hermit households, the opening of border markets, and the establishment of elementary schools in various townships.

Liberating the hidden households touched the interests of all wealthy families. The wealthy families with military backgrounds used Turkic slaves, so they didn't care about liberating some hidden households.

However, those who have no military background have no Turkic slaves to use, so the hermits in their hands have become one of their important properties.

Now that the imperial court wants to cut their flesh, they are naturally not happy.

The current Tang Dynasty is originally sparsely populated, and the aristocratic families need a large number of hermits to help them take care of farming and mulberry, and help them accumulate wealth.

When the imperial court liberated the hidden households, no one would plant the land of the rich and powerful families, and there was no way to accumulate wealth. Of course, their representatives in the court would object.
