“Probably more than ten years ago, the old man realized that there was a big problem with my tax system…”
After writing the last page, Qin Xiang put down his pen, stopped recording, raised his head and said: “In the past ten years, the old man has promoted tax reforms several times, and all of them ended in failure. In the end, the old man himself was embarrassed to reconcile. When your Majesty mentioned this matter, he only had some dim thoughts, and he did not dare to raise it easily. These days, the old man has been thinking about what you said in the Imperial Garden that day…”
“If you were born ten, five years earlier… ten years ago, if the old man could hear what you said, the court and the people would not have had so many twists and turns in these years.” Qin Xiang looked at Li Yi, his tone was calm, “Master Xu is right, you are a great generation, old man…not as good as you.”
Li Yi was not humble, nor did he follow him, because Qin Xiang obviously had other things to say.
“You are unparalleled in poetry and prose, you have superb painting skills, calligraphy has already reached the top, proficient in torture, proficient in business, creating punishments, presenting hoofs, retreating enemies, starting calculations, clearing moths…”
Qin seems to be familiar with Li Yi’s past. The piles and pieces are like a few treasures. “The old man also knows that you have stirred up the kingdom of Qi. The dispute between the prince of Qi and the third prince is fierce. Stable and panic, you can’t count the credit for my Jingguo. When the old man was like you, he failed in the imperial examination, and he was still worried about his future. And you have been named a prince, and you are the youngest in history. Doctor Jin Ziguanglu…it’s no wonder that your majesty will spoil you exclusively.”
Being so praised by the elders, Li Yi’s face turned red, a little embarrassed.
It turns out that he is so good, and he didn’t even notice it on weekdays…
“But, you are too young…” Qin Xiang looked at him, his face changed solemnly, and said: “The wood is beautiful in the forest, the wind will destroy it, and the extreme will be reversed. Since ancient times, the emperor’s favorite courtiers are rare. Good ending, besides, you can know, who’s benefit is ultimately lost for those reforms you mentioned?”
The confidant of the old emperor is certain family members. Of course, these measures he said will not make those people feel better.
If this were not the case, the old emperor would not trust Mingzhu with his government affairs.
“Your existence is the blessing of your majesty, the blessing of the people…” Qin Xiang stood up, looked at him, and said, “I hope you can remember what the old man said today.”
Li Yi looked at him and asked: “Why?”
What he said was naturally based on the standpoint of the two people. Qin Xiang had no reason or obligation to say such things to him. Why did he say these things today?
“The old man is the head of the Qin family, the prime minister of Jingguo, the prime minister of his majesty, and the prime minister of the people…, if the restructuring can be carried out smoothly, the country will become prosperous and the people will live in peace…” Qin Xiang deeply looked at He glanced at him, clasped his fists and bowed to the end, “This bow, the old man is the Manchu civil and military, and the Jingguo and Limin…”
Li Yi wanted to hide and couldn’t avoid it. In fact, when he reacted, Qin Xiang had already straightened up and strode out of the door.
At the door, a certain water jail official who had just been brought in by the Lao Fang stood there blankly and rubbed his eyes. After confirmation, the whole person could not help but petrify on the spot.
When Li Yi walked out of the mansion gate, a carriage had already started to go away. He looked in a certain direction for a long time, and he began to understand a little bit about the old “stubbornness” who were facing in the middle of the house…
It’s a pity that Qin Xiang is Qin Xiang, Qin Family… is Qin Family.
After a while, I turned my head and looked at the Du Shui Jian official behind him, and asked, “What’s the matter with Xu Shao Jian?”
The official looked in a certain direction, swallowed a few mouthfuls, and said: “Regarding the compilation of “Shui Jing Zhu”, Chang Cheng asked me to ask Master Li…”
……
Chen Guogong Mansion.
“You said, Qin Xiang went to Li Mansion yesterday, and he bowed to Li Yi?” Chen Chong looked at an official opposite, frowned and said, “Are you sure you didn’t read it wrong?”
The official shook his head and smiled bitterly. “There should be nothing wrong. The news came from the Dushui Supervisor. It is said that the young supervisor of the Dushui Supervisor saw it with his own eyes. The lower official investigated this morning. Qin Xiang yesterday… …, indeed I went to that place.”
“Qin Xiang, what is he…what is he doing?” Chen Chong frowned.
Although they belong to the same family of the Shu kings, if they are subdivided, they and Qin Xiang do not belong to the same camp. The civilian group headed by Qin Xiang and the officials and dignitaries headed by the Cui Chen family have the same goals. , But almost never interfere with each other.
Furthermore, Qin Xiang has a high weight, and it is difficult for everyone to guess his thoughts.
The central government tends to favor the power of the Shu king, and it is already far worse than in the past, is it even Qin Xiang…
In the front place below, the household servant Zeng Shichun thought for a while, and said: “This matter may not be like what has been said to the outside world. Li Xian Hou is the Jinzi Guanglu doctor. Qin Xiang asked him to discuss the affairs of the court. Nothing is impossible.”
Chen Chong raised his eyes and said, “Do I need to bow and salute when discussing state affairs?”
The room immediately became silent. After a long time, an official sighed and said: “Your Majesty temporarily let go of the government. For Your Highness, it was originally a great opportunity. You could have taken this opportunity to let your Highness Returning to Beijing to act as the government agent, but who would have thought that your majesty would entrust the affairs of the government to the eldest princess, and we played the papers that asked your majesty to return to Beijing. All of them were beaten down by your majesty. The situation of your majesty in the court was also here. The worse, if things go on like this, I’m afraid…”
Chen Chong nodded, and said: “The most important thing at the moment is to let His Royal Highness return to Beijing. Tell me, what can you do?”
Several people thought for a moment~IndoMTL.com~ began to speak.
“Concubine Cui’s birthday is approaching. Your Majesty attaches great importance to filial piety. It is reasonable and reasonable for your Highness to return to Beijing at that time.”
“After Niang Niang’s birthday, try to find a way to keep the majesty, or it can be called the disease stay, when the time comes, the court will cooperate with the courtiers and exert all efforts to ask your majesty to take the place of the princess…”
“This method is feasible, what do you think about it?”
Chen Chong nodded and was about to speak. Someone walked in from the door and whispered: “Second Lord, the young lady is back from visiting relatives.”
When Chen Chong heard the words, his face immediately showed joy, stood up, waved his hands to several people, and said: “My official is busy with important things now, and your Royal Highness returns to Beijing. I will discuss it later!”
After speaking, he hurried away, ignoring the stunned expressions on the faces of several people in the hall.
Everyone watched him leave quickly, and their hearts were like galloping horses.
Is there something more important than this. Didn’t he just say that the most important thing at the moment is to let His Highness return to Beijing?
In the garden of the Chen Mansion, Chen Chong looked at the white-haired woman and asked with a smile, “How is it, how is your aunt, her elder, is in good health?”
The white-haired woman nodded and said: “The old man has always been in good health, and he asked about the elder brother and the second brother.”
She turned her head and looked in a certain direction, and said, “Second brother, there is still something to be done. Several adults seem to be waiting there.”
“It’s all small things, it doesn’t matter, you might as well let them wait for a while.”
Chen Chong waved his hand and said, “My third sister, your birthday is coming soon. What do you want to do? Tell your second brother, the second brother will help you handle it…”
The white-haired woman shook her head and said: “Birthday is celebrated every year. Second brother does not need to be so fanciful. It is enough for our family to be together well.”
Chen Chong waved his hand again and again: “No way, no way, there is only one birthday every year, I have to live, I have to live…”
