Great Tang Broom Star

  Chapter 1044 Supervising the country

  Jia Pingan never thought that what he said that day would cause his nephew and the prime ministers to compete.

  Look at that kid, with a calm face at the moment, as if he was talking to the servant beside him.

  I have grown up!

  The emperor nodded, "Let him come."

  In fact, the so-called dispute between the prince and the prime minister is secretly a dispute of political opinions.

  The prime ministers thought it should be done this way, but the prince thought it was inappropriate, so everyone competed secretly.

  The crown prince lost, and he had to bow his head and follow the lessons of these old fritters in the future, and he had to hold back next time.

  Jia Pingan looked at these people...smiled slightly.

  Yang Deli came in.

   "How is Gyeongju?" The emperor was most concerned about the local situation, and he was on par with the prime ministers on this point.

  The country belongs to me, and I care about it.

  The country belongs to the emperor, we are just managers.

  Two different mindsets lead to different ways of thinking.

  Yang Deli said: "Your Majesty, after I went to Qingzhou, I went to those villages. Those houses were dilapidated, and the people were ragged and disheveled..."

  The emperor's complexion changed, "Is there any dish on the face?",

   "Yes." Yang Deli said: "I asked them, and said that last year's floods caused heavy losses, and this year's harvest is still early, so we can only wait for the weather to warm up to find wild vegetables to eat..."

  Li Yifu frowned, "What about this year's harvest?"

Yang Deli said: "This year's harvest is still early. Even if there is a harvest, the dilapidated houses of the common people are not as dilapidated as the beggars in Chang'an. They don't need to be repaired? Shouldn't the common people wear clothes if they don't cover their bodies? Shouldn't they buy something? Don’t the common people only need to have something to eat?”

  The prince's eyes lit up.

  The emperor's face was reddish, and he looked like he was sick, "Where's the magistrate? Where's Huang Yingzun?"

yes!

   Huang Yingzun, as the governor of a state, what is he doing at this time?

  Yang Deli said: "Huang Yingzun's term will expire this year."

  Li Yifu's lips twitched, "He is so courageous!"

  These are old ghosts in the officialdom, and Yang Deli let them know the ins and outs of this matter with one word.

Xu Jingzong stepped in, furious, "I used to deal with Huang Yingzun back then, and I was considered a capable official, but after more than ten years, this person has become so shameless, for the sake of his own official career, he even sacrificed the lives of the people of the state. It's all thrown away!"

  Shangguanyi glanced at the prince, feeling bitter.

  The prince was silent.

  The emperor and empress were all looking at him, and they couldn't help nodding slightly when they saw this.

   What the emperor fears is complacency, and what the emperor should do most is to be modest.

  The emperor and his courtiers have won the contest, what should they do now?

  The emperor and empress were all watching, but the prince chose to remain silent.

Yang Deli continued to say: "I know that these officials are greedy for profit, and they will definitely retaliate against those people. I went back to Chang'an, and turned back to the village halfway, just in time to see the state officials threatening the villagers. The villagers who told the truth took revenge...Your Majesty, I am guilty."

  The emperor's face has turned blue, "Say."

  Yang Deli said: "The minister looked at their domineering appearance but couldn't bear it, so he moved his hands."

   The censor beat up local officials, this matter can be big or small.

  The emperor sneered, "Good fight!"

   Li Ji said, "It's a good fight!"

  Empress Wu said: "This kind of officials who abuse the people, let them be killed!"

  Yang Deli said: "Later, I went to the state house to argue with Huang Yingzun. I couldn't hold back for a while, and started fighting again."

  The emperor's cheeks twitched, and he glanced at Yang Deli's thin figure.

  Yang Deli felt that he was humiliated, "Your Majesty, I used to have great power in farming."

  The emperor was a little speechless...what to say? Is it praiseworthy for the censor to go down and beat the offending officials? What if other censors follow suit?

  The censor went to the place, and the magistrate was trembling, worried that he would be beaten severely.

   Putting this matter aside for now, the emperor suddenly frowned.

   "What did the prince say a few days ago?"

  Li Yifu's face was a little green.

  Shangguanyi looked uncomfortable.

  The prince said to make a decision to investigate clearly, but the prime ministers feel that they have never seen anything in most of their lives? Where does such a small matter need to be investigated, it can be resolved in one word.

  The emperor sent Yang Deli to investigate on the spot, and when he came back, he slapped him in the face.

  The crown prince is naturally not good at talking about this matter, but the emperor has no scruples.

  Shangguanyi coughed dryly, "Your Highness is wise, you can see the merits of His Majesty's teaching."

  Xu Jingzong squinted at him, feeling that this guy was too flattered.

  Shangguanyi glanced at the emperor, and found that the emperor's expression was serious, as if... not very happy?

  He thought of himself... But whoever praises his sons and grandchildren for their promise, he is so flattered! It's more fun than being held by the stars.

yes!

  When people reach their age, they naturally like others to praise their children and grandchildren.

  Shangguanyi thought about the matter clearly, and immediately cupped his hands at the prince, "Your Highness said that if you don't investigate, you have no right to speak, which is thought-provoking. I have been thinking about it for the past few days, and I feel that this sentence is wonderful..."

  He glanced at the emperor.

  The corners of the emperor's mouth curled up slightly.

  The old man guessed right.

  Shangguanyi sighed: "How important is it for us to assist His Majesty? The political affairs of the world are passed by in our hands every day. In the past, His Highness said that he made decisions with his head, which is absurd!"

   Li Zhi looked at the prince and saw that his face was calm, but he could see a little complacency.

  This son is not bad, but he didn't hesitate to do such things to offend the prime minister, which shows that he was right about the matter but not about the person. What is important to the emperor?

  Li Zhi thought of the words of the first emperor.

  If you want to deal with a person, then use other methods, never use government affairs as an excuse to punish people. After setting this precedent, everyone in the court will be in danger in the future. Who will dare to tell the truth? In addition, once the emperor uses the government to punish people, the courtiers will also learn from it. Such mutual attacks will make the court full of smog, and the disaster of the former Han Party will not be far away!

  The prime ministers actually want the prince to be taught a lesson, and they should also know how to respect veterans.

  Li Zhi had various thoughts in his mind...

  He glanced at Li Yifu.

  Li Yifu did not feel his gaze.

  The emperor snorted insignificantly.

  Then slowly said: "The prince is young, and he still needs the help of the ministers, but what the prince said moved me quite a bit. How many things happen in the world every day?"

The emperor looked at the prime ministers and said: "The daily affairs of state and county officials is to govern a place. How about if they all stay in the state and county to make decisions? I think it is inappropriate. The prince said well, there is no speech without investigation right."

The emperor said again, "When we arrive at the court, all the daily affairs of the world are sent to the court. I and the ministers are very busy every day. But this is Chang'an, Chang'an can't see the world, and can only pass the documents from various places. Come to understand the world, but can the officials of the world be trusted?"

this problem…

  The emperor turned his eyes, "Li Qing, tell me."

  Li Yifu glanced at Li Ji subconsciously, and then remembered that the emperor could not throw the problem to Li Ji like this, nor would he use such words.

  He glanced at the prince, "Your Majesty, most of the officials in the world are responsible and trustworthy."

  Even Li Yifu is playing tricks, which shows the importance of being an official and not offending most people.

   Li Zhi turned his eyes and fixed on Jia Pingan.

  Is this asking me to come out and shoot?

  Jia Pingan saw the smile on the corner of Li Yifu's mouth, and knew it was gloating.

   Let it go!

   "Jia Qing."

   Li Zhi nodded, "Let's talk about it."

  This question will offend many people...

   "Ahem!"

   Someone was coughing dryly, and the emperor was furious, but it turned out to be Xu Jingzong, his confidant.

  Old Xu is reminding Jia Pingan: Boy, take it easy, just learn from Li Yifu.

  Even Li Ji glanced at Jia Pingan.

  The empress raised her head slightly. It stands to reason that she should hang down the curtain now...that is, sit behind the curtain, but the emperor can't help saying that this is deception. In addition, the protection between men and women in the upper Tang Dynasty is not so serious, so now she can still sit in the back with dignity.

  Looking at his uncle, Li Hong thought to himself, what should I say about this matter?

   "Your Majesty, you cannot rely on people."

  Jia Pingan fired the cannon as soon as he opened his mouth, and when Li Zhi changed his face slightly, he said: "If you want to maintain the integrity or reliability of officials, you can't rely on self-consciousness and integrity."

  The emperor said with a cold face, "Are all the officials in this world inappropriate?"

"It's not right to say it." Jia Pingan said truthfully, "It's not long since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, and the smell of the big dye tank in the officialdom is not strong yet. But the officials all over the world have power in their hands, and these powers can generate money at any time. Your Majesty, count on people." It is impossible not to be tempted by money! Absolutely impossible!"

  Jia Ping’an thinks this kind of thinking is too naive. “There is a line here. When the country was first founded, the officials were still clean. The longer the time, the more corrupt officials there will be…with rare exceptions.”

  Li Yifu couldn't help retorting, "It's been almost fifty years since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, and now the Tang officials are pretty good."

   "Is fifty years a long time?"

   Jia Pingan asked: "Does Li Xiang know how many officials are disposed of every year in the Ministry of Officials? Is it more and more or what? How much more every year..."

Well!

  Li Yifu is stuck.

   Immediately he found an explanation, "Who would calculate such things?"

Jia Pingan smiled, "New learners know how to do this. In the Ministry of Households and the Ministry of Industry, officials from the new school will use data to compare. For example, for household registration, make a data every year, and then compare it with the previous year to know the income and expenditure. For example, the Ministry of Industry, how many civilians are recruited every year? How many craftsmen are used, how much food is spent... Once these data come out, they can be used as the basis for the decision-making of the court. Making decisions... It’s better not to use your brain.”

   This is revenge for the eldest nephew!

  Li Yifu smiled and said: "The official department doesn't need it."

   New students don't want to squeeze into the official department!

  But think about Li Yifu's second make-up: "Zhao Guogong is in the Ministry of War, and I think he can get more new students. It can be regarded as a reunion of teachers and students, and they can get along day and night."

   This knife is really ruthless!

  —Your Majesty, Jia Ping'an is going to make a big show in the Ministry of War!

  The prince came out decisively, "Gu Nai is the sacrificial wine of mathematics. Before the imperial examination this year, Gu also went to mathematics, which inspired the students."

  The eldest nephew immediately took care of the uncle.

  Li Yifu's face was a little stiff.

  The emperor looked calm, unable to see his opinion on the matter.

  Yang Deli coughed dryly.

   You haven't left yet?

  Wang Zhongliang couldn't help being a little confused.

  Here are all prime ministers or important ministers, what does it mean that you, a censor, always stay away?

Yang Deli said: "Your Majesty, the number of officials impeached by Taiwan last year was 30% higher than that of the previous year. These years have been more than one year. My colleagues say that the Tang Dynasty is getting richer and richer, but more and more officials are fighting each other. "

Snapped!

  Everyone seemed to hear the applause.

  Li Yifu smiled and said, "Really?"

  Yang Deli nodded, "I have calculated it myself, and I can review it. If I am wrong, I will leave Chang'an myself."

  Yang Deli's departure from Chang'an...doesn't seem like a bad thing.

  All the monarchs and ministers came up with this idea.

  But this time Li Yifu and Shangguanyi were a little disgraced, and were compared by the prince.

  Should I appease you?

  Li Zhi looked at the prince, "The weather is gradually improving, and I am going to spend the ten thousand year palace with the queen, and the prince will supervise the country."

  Li Hong's lips trembled, and he subconsciously said, "Aye, I'm still young."

   This is a great call to Aye!

  The emperor smiled slightly, "It's not too young."

  Guardian...

  Jia Ping'an thinks it's too early.

  But the important matter is naturally sent to Linyou, and it is still handled by the empress and prime ministers. Small matters are dealt with by the prince.

   Wide!

   This is the emperor slowly tempering the prince.

  But Shangguanyi and Li Yifu were ashamed.

   Jia Pingan glanced at Li Ji, who was pretending to be a Bodhisattva, and then at the loyal Xu Jingzong, and felt that the emperor was now in power.

   That's right, only in this way can the empress squeeze the aristocratic family step by step... The relationship between imperial power and the aristocratic family is always in a relationship of ebb and flow!

   This is a good thing.

   Later, Jia Pingan and Yang Deli walked together.

   "Huang Yingzun used to have a good official voice, but he turned into such a greedy appearance, which surprised me!"

  Yang Deli sighed.

   "Yang Yushi went to Qingzhou this time, and the officialdom in Qingzhou collapsed. Zhao Guogong sent an envoy to the Khitan of the Xi clan, and the two clans were destroyed. The respected cousins ​​were bright for a while."

  Jia Ping'an and Yang Deli turned around, and Li Yifu stood behind with a smile, "It's better to be a human being, what's the benefit of making enemies everywhere?"

  The prime ministers stop!

  Xu Jingzong is rolling up his sleeves!

  Jia Pingan looked at Li Yifu, "Do more and make more mistakes, it's good not to do. What's the measure? It's the measure to benefit the country and the people. It's only for selfishness, no matter how much word-of-mouth it is, it will only be cast aside by the people!"

  Li Yifu: "..."

  …

  After the prince left the main hall, he was surrounded by people and returned to the East Palace.

  The East Palace is very busy at the moment, and there are boxes everywhere.

   "Your Highness!"

  Wang Xia said happily: "I will move in a few days!"

  Li Hong nodded, "Look at the important things."

   Zeng Xianglin said, "Don't worry, Your Highness."

  Li Hong looked at him, "I'm only looking for you if I lost something!"

   Zeng Xianglin: "..."

  The Tai Chi Palace is low-lying, and the humidity and heat are unbearable, which was unbearable when Emperor Gaozu was there. In order to give Emperor Gaozu a place to escape the summer heat, the first emperor allocated money and grain to build the Daming Palace.

   Who knew that the Emperor Gaozu died before the Daming Palace was completed, and the construction of the Daming Palace stagnated and became an unfinished building.

  It was not until the late Emperor fell ill the year before last that the heat in the Taiji Palace was unbearable, and it was unbearable, so he started to build the Daming Palace.

  It was originally completed last year, but because of the conquest of the Wa Kingdom, the construction of the Daming Palace was suspended for several months, and it was delayed until last month.

   Moving house!

  The whole palace is rejoicing.

  Li Hong entered his bedroom, staring at the things inside in a daze.

  Wang Xia approached quietly, "Your Highness, are you reluctant to give up? But the Taiji Palace is humid, and your Majesty's illness is unbearable...Your Highness, be filial..."

Li Hong didn't move, "Gu knows. Just looking at these... Gu thought of those years. Aye and Auntie came to investigate quietly at that time, but she would scold anyone who was lazy or unruly. But now she doesn't come." .”

  Wang Xia was taken aback, "Your Highness is grown up now!"

  Li Hong turned around, "The orphan has grown up."

  He walked to the hall where he was the director and sat down.

   The memorial is still a memorial, and the officials sit below.

  Zuo Concubine Dai Zhide raised his eyes, "Your Highness, His Majesty's intention today is to let His Highness intervene in the government affairs. I think His Highness should be cautious, but all political affairs should be... cautious!"

  Zuo Shuzi Zhang Wenjin glanced at Dai Zhide, "This is very true. Your Highness, supervising the country seems simple, but if you make a wrong step, it will be an abyss. I hope that your highness will be more careful!"

  You Shuzi Xiao Dezhao smiled and said: "Your Highness, there is no need to be nervous, this matter will only begin, and the Empress must be very tolerant."

  Jianguo means that the prince has become the deputy emperor.

   It looks beautiful, but inside it is risky.

  Li Hong said calmly: "Gu knows how to measure."

   "Your Highness, be careful!"

  Xiao Dezhao reminded him again.

  Li Hong was silent.

  A servant comes in.

   "Your Highness, the household department has sent documents."

  The servant handed over the paperwork.

  Xiao Dezhao stretched out his hand, "Show me."

  The crown prince is still young, the duty of Xiao Dezhao and others is to guard the gate.

  Opening the document, Xiao Dezhao looked at it for a while, raised his eyes and said: "Your Highness, it is a document from the Ministry of Household Affairs. Gyeongju was exempted from taxes for half a year due to floods last year. This year, it was inevitable... Now it is said that it will be exempted for another half year..."

  The three Eastern Palace officials looked at the prince.

  Dai Zhide smiled and said: "I think I did it wrong."

  Zhang Wenjin nodded, "That's exactly what it should be."

  Gyeongju previously said that there is no need for tax exemption this year, but immediately after the crown prince said something, the emperor sent Yang Deli to investigate, but the result was a mess.

   So this matter must be supported.

Li Hong said: "Half a year of tax exemption is just one thing. After the flood, all the wealth of the people will be washed away. Is it enough to exempt taxes for one year before and after? I think it must be not enough. In this case, I should inform the Ministry of Households that this year Gyeongju will be inspected. Last year, the people who suffered from the floods gave some more money and food, at least let them repair their houses and buy clothes for their children."

  Dai Zhide frowned, "Your Highness, I'm afraid the Ministry of Accounts will not agree to this matter."

  Zhang Wenjin said: "Your Highness, the world is so big. Your Highness is the crown prince, so you should act indifferently...don't be emotional."

  The indifference here refers to indifference.

   When an emperor looks at the world, he should look at the general situation, not small things.

  The emperor is selfless and ruthless!

Li Hong said slowly: "You think that ten thousand households are the world, but in Gu's view, one family is also the world. A politician should think about the well-being of each family. Tell the Ministry of Households, Gu thinks that Gyeongju should be Zhou Ji!"

  Xiao Dezhao took a deep breath, and suppressed the dissatisfaction in his eyes, "Your Highness is just watching politics now, so what's the use of offending the Six Departments for this?"

  Li Hong said calmly: "If you're just ignoring the government and don't care about it, why should you go? Send it away!"

  The subordinates said awe-inspiringly, "Yes."

  Xiao Dezhao sighed, "I'm afraid the household department will be dissatisfied..."

  Zhang Wenjin said: "Your Highness, the six ministries are the real power, and once they supervise the country, they are closely related. You shouldn't offend Dou Dexuan, you shouldn't!"

  Li Hong said: "Just send it!"

  Zhang Wenjian and others looked at each other.

"Why!"

  The document was sent to Dou Dexuan.

   "Your Highness said that the people in Gyeongju who suffered from floods are still in distress this year, and the Ministry of Household Affairs should allocate money and food to help..."

   Zeng Xianglin felt that Dou Dexuan would explode.

   Whenever money and food are mentioned, the big housekeeper will explode.
