Great Tang Broom Star

  Chapter 1045 When is it not crazy now?

   "It is His Majesty's kindness for Gyeongju to reduce or exempt taxes for half a year this year. There is no such rule or precedent for giving money and food."

  Dou Dexuan has become an old man since he became the secretary of the household department.

"It's not that I'm a stingy man. I've been the Minister of the Ministry of Households. I see money and food all day long. If I want it here, I want it there. I wish I could split a penny into two." Dou Dexuan said firmly: "Tell Your Highness, don't give up because of a corner. And make an exception."

   Zeng Xianglin was extremely disappointed, "Dou Shangshu, Your Highness is kind..."

  Dou Dexuan smiled helplessly, "The old man knows that His Highness's benevolence is a good thing, but you have to follow the rules."

no solution anymore!

   Zeng Xianglin hesitated to speak.

"explain!"

  Dou Dexuan has already reached the point where he has no desires and no desires. If he is really unwilling, he will not agree even if the emperor comes later.

   Zeng Xianglin hesitated to speak...

   "That's all."

  He couldn't talk about what happened between the crown prince and the three assistant ministers of the Eastern Palace.

  Zhang Wenjin and others are all the ministers carefully selected by the emperor for the prince, as the presence of the prince.

  Thus, the positions of these three people in the East Palace are quite stable, but they only have so much power. Being stared at by Zhang Wenjin and others, the crown prince is somewhat restrained.

  But the emperor will let the prince supervise the country. At this time, the relationship between the prince and his ministers is very important.

  After leaving the household department, Zeng Xianglin hesitated.

go back?

   What do you say when you go back?

  —Dou Shangshu of the household department said that this matter cannot be done.

  The Crown Prince was disheartened, and the position of Zhang Wenjin and others became more stable.

   This involves a power struggle.

  How old is the prince!

   "Let's drink together!"

  Someone was talking in front of him, and Zeng Xianglin couldn't help but light up when he saw it.

   "Mr. Zhao!"

   Jia Pingan, who was talking to Cui Jian, turned around and saw him, and said, "Brother Cui, go first."

  Cui Jian glanced at Zeng Xianglin, and said in a low voice: 'The prince is getting older, there are people testing the prince, do you understand? '

   "Don't you just want to see the prince's attitude towards the noble family?"

   Jia Ping'an looked disdainful, "You're a dog."

  Cui Jian, "I'm a dog in a camp!"

   "You are just a fly camp, no dog."

   Jia Pingan smiled and walked over, and Brother Cui was angry behind him, "Are you saying that I am a fly?"

Zeng Xianglin cupped his hands, "His Royal Highness had previously argued with Zuo Shuzi and the others about Qingzhou. His Highness said that Qingzhou not only wanted to reduce taxes for half a year, but also asked the Ministry of Households to donate some money and food. Zuo Shuzi and the others... objected. Your Highness asked us to ask." Mr. Dou..."

   "Dou Dexuan will definitely not agree."

"yes."

   Zeng Xianglin smiled wryly, "They said that Dou Dexuan can't even speak to His Majesty here, let alone His Highness. But His Majesty said today that His Highness will supervise the country. If His Highness's momentum is suppressed, Zhang Wenjin and others will rise up."

   This is a sensitive period.

   Jia Ping'an looked at the sun, it was almost noon.

   "You go back first."

   Zeng Xianglin had a headache, "Your Highness."

   "Just say that Dou Dexuan is not here."

  Jia Pingan casually dropped a sentence and entered the household department.

   Zeng Xianglin stood there, "What does Mr. Zhao mean by this? That's all."

  He went all the way back to the East Palace.

   "Your Highness, Dou Shangshu is not in the household department."

   This is a lie. If you want to track it down, it is too simple. Just ask Dou Dexuan where he is at a certain time today, and Zeng Xianglin's lie can be exposed.

  But he followed Jia Ping'an's explanation like a ghost.

   Immediately annoyed.

  Zhang Wenjin said with a smile: "Your Highness, let this matter be over."

  Xiao Dezhao shook his head slightly, "Let's put it down for now."

  Dai Zhide nodded at Xiao Dezhao, and said appreciatively: "That's very true."

   This is to save face for the prince.

  Li Hong was a little annoyed!

  The matter in Gyeongju is already obvious, and the people will not be able to tide over the difficulties this year. Under such circumstances, what should be done is disaster relief and consolation, instead of worrying about half a year's taxes and still supporting them.

  The prince threw the book in his hand on the table.

  Boom!

Very loud sound.

  The prince is annoyed!

   This is not a bad thing.

  Dai Zhide and the three exchanged colors and smiled slightly.

  It is one of their responsibilities to let the prince know what can't be done and what can be done.

  …

   "The situation in Gyeongju is far more serious than you think."

   "Another half-year tax reduction is already great!"

   "Relief!"

   "Impossible! The household department has no surplus food!"

   "But I ate the food left by the former Sui Dynasty in Wa Kingdom!"

   "That's just a coincidence!"

   "Do you want the future emperor to be a miser?"

   "..."

  Dou Dexuan said seriously: "Of course I don't want it. But you have to know that the crown prince swept the faces of the prime ministers in the Gyeongju incident. Now he said to help, which is another slap in the face. Do you really think the prime ministers have no temper?"

   Jia Ping'an was silent for a moment, "It's mine!"

  Dou Dexuan scolded: "You are alone, how much can you bear?"

   Jia Ping'an smiled and said, "If you have too many debts, you don't have to worry about it, and if you have too many lice, it doesn't itch. But if you miss many things, it will be a huge hidden danger."

   "What about the faces of the prime ministers?"

   Dou Dexuan asked.

   Jia Pingan said indifferently: "If they feel that their face can be above the common people, then what if I beat them hard again?"

   "You're crazy!"

   "People can only live for decades, when is it not crazy now?"

  …

  The prince remained silent.

  Zhang Wenjin discussed with Dai Zhide and others.

   "Your Majesty is going to say that His Highness supervises the country, and it is not easy to sweep your face too much at this moment."

  Dai Zhide said: "Let the prince know that awe is not a bad thing."

  Xiao Dezhao nodded, "The crown prince and Zhao Guogong have learned something new, and they seem to be jumping a little bit, so we should suppress it and not hesitate. His Majesty is not dissatisfied. It can be seen that he is also happy to see us sharpen the crown prince."

  The three of them went to the prince's place later.

   "Clean it up."

  The prince is disposing of his personal belongings.

   "Your Highness."

   The three saluted.

  Prince said: "You are also busy these few days, so if you have nothing to do, go to your own business."

  Zhang Wenjin smiled lightly: "Yes."

  The prince was embarrassed.

   "Your Highness, I think you should take another look at the matter in Qingzhou." Xiao Dezhao knew that the bow should not be drawn too full, "If it is not proper, I will go to Qingzhou in early summer to check it."

   This is to let the prince step down.

  The prince looked calm, but his hands were already clenched into fists. He smiled and said, "I know."

   This is a compromise.

   All are happy.

  A servant is looking outside.

  Zhang Wenjin frowned, "What are you doing so sneakily?"

  The servant comes in.

   "Your Highness, there are people from the household department."

  Zhang Wenjin was slightly angry, "Shangshu Dou sent someone to teach? Tell him, I'm waiting in the East Palace!"

  Xiao Dezhao also sneered and said, "Dou Dexuan is getting carried away with complacency."

  The so-called well water does not violate the river water, the prince's suggestion is one thing, and you Dou Dexuan's rejection is one thing, but don't be shy.

  Li Hong said: "Let him come."

  He is still a little transparent at present, it is necessary to be open-minded.

   As for being angry, just bear with it.

  A small official came in.

Saluted, and then the little official said: "Your Highness, Dou Shangshu sent me to inform His Highness...Your Highness is kind, the Ministry of Accounting has not considered the matter of Gyeongju, and Dou Shangshu has just entered the palace, and he is planning to send money and food to Gyeongju with His Majesty. This year we can slow down."

  Zhang Wenjin, "..."

   This is the fake Dou Dexuan!

  Xiao Dezhao lost his composure and said: "The Ministry of Rites just wanted 30,000 yuan the day before yesterday, and was scolded by Dou Dexuan by the court. This week, Jiqingzhou wanted more than 100,000 yuan at least, and Dou Dexuan actually agreed?"

  This is not Confucianism!

  Even Dai Zhide picked his ears, and said in disbelief: "Your Majesty said that Daming Palace is not as good as a palace, but was refuted by Dou Dexuan, how did it become like this in a blink of an eye?"

  The three of them looked at the prince.

  The prince was calm, but his hands clenched tightly.

  The three stood up and saluted.

   "The minister is lying!"

  Zeng Xianglin looked at Wang Xia, both of them had brilliance in their eyes.

  The crown prince suppressed the minister, which is good news at this juncture.

  The three of them were disheartened, and they left immediately.

  Watching them leave the palace gate, Zeng Xianglin turned around, and saw the prince excitedly waving his fist.

  …

   Then the prime ministers also found out.

   "Prince, do you think the old man's face is not red enough?"

  Shangguanyi was also annoyed.

  The official who came to report said: "That's right! Nowadays, people are saying that His Highness is kind and wise, and the gentlemen are vulgar..."

  Shangguanyi wanted to explode in place!

  …

   "Aren't you afraid that the prime ministers will be dissatisfied with the prince?"

  When Dou Dexuan came back from his work, he became angry when he saw Jia Pingan still squatting at the household department.

   "How many years can the prime ministers live?"

  Jia Ping'an's words made Dou Dexuan want to vomit blood, "I won't live for a few more years."

  Jia Pingan said seriously: "Mr. Dou's name will last forever."

Dou Dexuan pointed at him, "Don't think those people are fools. This matter is not about Qingzhou, but about the crown prince's supervision of the country. A group of people are silent, seemingly calm, but undercurrents are surging! Once the empress goes to Jiucheng Palace , the crown prince is in charge of the country... From then on, the crown prince will gradually be able to interfere in the government affairs, if only a few other princes. But what is the crown prince learning? New learning!"

  Dou Dexuan gritted his teeth and said: "The prime ministers want to use this matter to suppress the crown prince, and Donggong Xiao Dezhao and the others also think the same way. They only want to make His Highness more stable..."

   "Are you unstable after learning something new?"

  Of course Jia Pingan knew the intentions of the prime ministers and the officials of the East Palace, "Your Majesty has been supporting and sharpening the crown prince since last year. His words and deeds made the prime ministers flustered a few times, and they couldn't keep up!"

Jia Pingan stared blankly, "They couldn't keep up with the prince's train of thought, one went east, and a group of people went west. They panicked, and so did the officials in the East Palace. Why did they panic? The panic is that they have never learned anything new, and they have never learned anything new. I don't understand His Highness's words and deeds."

   This is the generation difference!

   "It's not a bad thing!"

  Jia Pingan said: "Do you hope that the future emperor of the Tang Dynasty will be a mediocre person?"

  Historically, when Li Hong supervised the country, due to physical reasons and other reasons, most of the political affairs were handled by Xiao Dezhao and the others. The so-called prison country is just an empty name!

Dou Dexuan shook his head, "The Tang Dynasty is flourishing, but the time to establish a country is still short. If an emperor is weak or stupid, the situation of the country will be turned upside down. I would rather have a mean emperor than a seemingly benevolent emperor who is actually weak .”

   Jia Pingan smiled and said, "Then what are you waiting for?"

  Dou Dexuan raised his eyes, "You mean... the crown prince and the prime ministers are fighting secretly? Then your majesty..."

"What do you think?"

   Jia Ping'an said: "The prime ministers making things difficult for the prince is a good thing for His Majesty. He is sitting and watching the prince's plight and watching the prince's response."

  Dou Dexuan was startled, "You mean...in His Majesty's eyes, the chancellors are the prince's whetstones?"

  Jia Pingan nodded, "But those people in the Eastern Palace suddenly shot to suppress the prince. This is a rebellion! Do you understand?"

  Historically, Xiao Dezhao and others controlled the political affairs when the crown prince was in charge of the country. Could it be that they all took pity on the crown prince's body?

  Dou Dexuan figured out the cause and effect, "So you became angry and persuaded the old man, not only slapped the prime ministers, but also slapped Xiao Dezhao and the others. They are afraid they will have no face!"

  Jia Pingan said: "You can't give them a good face for many people. If you give them a good face, you will push your nose on the face. Don't hesitate when it's time to pump hard!"

  …

   "Aye, is Daming Palace interesting?"

  DouDou is very curious.

   Jia Pingan, who had just arrived home, had no time to drink, so she pestered her to ask.

"Okay."

  Su Ho sat on the side to help Wei Wushuang read the account books, "Tai Chi Palace is damp and uninhabitable, but it is much more beautiful than Daming Palace."

   "That's it!"

  Doudou put his chin on his hands, a little disappointed.

  People in the future are no longer familiar with the name Daming Palace, but they get more information from film and television dramas.

  Accompanied by the Daming Palace is the empire where the fire is cooking oil, those emperors, generals, princesses and princes have performed scenes of joys and sorrows.

  But in Jia Ping’an’s eyes, Daming Palace is just like that.

   "The Daming Palace is quite large."

  The scale of the Daming Palace is four or five times that of the later Beiping Forbidden City.

   "I will take you into the palace someday."

  Jia Ping’an himself has never visited it.

  Su Ho raised his eyes, "Okay!"

   I didn't call you! Jia Pingan: "..."

   "Soho!"

   Wei Wushuang shouted outside.

"What?"

  Su Ho stuffed the ledger under the table.

  Wei Wushuang came in, "Have you figured it out?"

  Su Ho shook his head, "I only calculated half of it in the morning, and the rest will be discussed in the afternoon."

  Doudou picked up the ledger, "It's very simple!"

  Su Ho was annoyed, "Where is it easy?"

  Doudou picked up the pen, murmured words, writing like flying...

   "Okay!"

  DouDou handed over the ledger with both hands.

  Su Ho took it, looked through it carefully, and handed it to Wei Wushuang.

   Wei Wushuang calculated carefully, looked up for a long time, "That's right."

  Su Ho said joyfully: "After going around, I won't panic anymore when I get married... I can settle accounts, I can punch..."

   "Do you think getting married is a conquest?"

   Wei Wushuang said angrily.

   "Isn't it?"

  Soho thinks it is.

  She fumbled inside her cuff and stuffed something into her mouth. Jia Pingan smelled dried fruit.

  Su Hexing's eyes are full of pride, "The man's family has grandparents, parents, and uncles... There are many big families in Chang'an, and the elders will not separate the family and divide the property. It is very hard to be a wife in this kind of family."

   This is a rule, no one can shake it.

   Wei Wushuang suddenly gave her a wink.

  Su Ho understood, "Doudou!"

"What?"

  Doudou asked happily.

  Su Ho muttered, "You see how hard it is for A Niang to read the account book all day? Or, from today on, you will help A Niang to settle the accounts every day?"

  Douandu shook his head and rattled, "Don't!"

   Jia Ping'an was speechless.

  Suho immediately changed his face, "Unfilial daughter, pocket money is gone!"

  Doudou pursed his lips, "Aniang, you don't count what you say."

  Su Ho said: "What doesn't count, you should help the family when you grow up."

   "But...but..." Turning around, "Aye..."

  I dare not intervene in the war between your mother and daughter!

   "That's the decision."

  Su Ho said with a smile: "Later, Auntie will fix something delicious for you."

   When it comes to food, the entire Jia family can't compare to Soho.

  DouDou looked stubborn, "Don't eat."

  Su Ho said, "That's a dumpling made of shrimp, it's delicious!"

  Doudou rolled his eyeballs.

   Later, Soho waited happily for the kitchen to cook delicious food.

   After waiting for a long time, there was no movement.

   "Sanhua, go and ask."

   Sanhua will come back later...

   "Ma'am, the dumpling was taken away by the little lady."

  Suho was angry, "Where's you going around?"

   Sanhua said: "The little lady has gone out with Mr. Lang."

  …

   "Doudou!"

"Um!"

  DouDou is eating dumplings.

   Jia Ping'an asked: "Why don't you like to help your mother work?"

  In his opinion, this is just the arrogance of a little girl.

   After thinking about it for a while, "A Niang is as lazy as an old turtle."

   Jia Ping'an was curious, "So what?"

Doudou plausibly said: "I often drag the old turtle to run, that's why the old turtle is so energetic. A Niang is also lazy, so I make her angry all day long. When I get angry, A Niang will eat less and eat less. Talking around in the room... I will eat more in the afternoon."

  Your mother is an old turtle?

  The Daming Palace is located behind the east side of the Taiji Palace, so it can be regarded as adjacent.

  However, to go to Daming Palace, you don’t need to go through the imperial city, but just go sideways.

   "Majestic!"

   Arrived outside the Daming Palace, just took a look inside through the Danfeng Gate, and was full of praise.

   "Doudou like it?"

  The prince just came over and asked with a smile.

  DouDou shook his head, "I don't like it."

  Prince asked, "Why?"

   Doudou said: "It's too big, I will have nightmares when I sleep at night."

  Prince: "..."

   How does backstab taste?

   Jia Ping'an smiled.

  The corners of the prince's eyes twitched when he said goodbye, and Jia Ping'an was in a good mood.

   "Aye, I don't want to go home!"

  Like all children, after going out, Doudou doesn't want to go home, but just wants to breathe the free air outside.

   Jia Ping'an waved his hand, "Aye will take you to Pingkangfang to find delicious food."

   Dongxishi is good, but too noisy.

   Entering Pingkangfang, Jia Pingan avoided the section where brothels are densely packed, and took a bag around.

   "Aye, I'm hungry."

  The father and daughter, wearing plain clothes, came to a stall selling mutton soup.

   Mutton soup was boiled in a large earthen pot. The shop owner was a woman with big and small eyes, and her left eye could only open a gap for some reason.

   "Guests, sit down quickly."

  The woman smiled very gently.

   Doudou sat down with Aye, and whispered: "Aye, she is so kind."

   "It's self-confidence."

  Confidence is beauty.

  The appearance is God's will, but the day after tomorrow is more important.

   There are five or six slices of mutton in a bowl of mutton soup. If you scoop it out with chopsticks, there are haggis underneath.

   After taking a sip of mutton soup, I felt warm all over.

   Lamb is also delicious.

  DouDou looked around while eating, very curious.

   "Aye, there is a fight."

   Diagonally opposite the outside of the shop, the shopkeeper pointed at a woman and cursed.

  The woman's face turned red, "You carried the bottle without making a sound, and bumped into the back of the slave. What does the broken bottle have to do with the slave?"

  The shopkeeper scolded: "You broke it. Yeye told you, if you don't lose money today, don't even think about leaving."

   Doudou got angry, "Aye, he bullies people!"

   This kind of thing happens every day, but going around is rare.

   Just as Jia Pingan wanted to analyze, Doudou got up and ran over.

"Why!"

   Jia Pingan was helpless.

  The shopkeeper was yelling and cursing when a girl ran over and raised her head and said, "You bully!"

  The shopkeeper sneered, "Which family's child? Take it quickly. What bullying? Look!"

  He pointed to the porcelain shards all over the floor in the store, "What is this? This bottle costs 60 yuan a piece, and it was smashed by her just after I bought it. If you don't ask her for compensation, who should I look for? Looking for you?"

   Jia Pingan stopped suddenly.

  DouDou nodded seriously, "Okay!"

  …

   Ask for a monthly pass!
