Stars in The Sky

Prince Donggong.

Qin Feng and Ling Yuanqing, Wen Songlin and Dong Yushan are enjoying tea and chatting. Since they went to the doomsday world to fight, he and these three people are rarely seen. Usually, they share all the things that assist and teach the prince.

“…… After a few months' absence, the national master's demeanor is even better than that of the past. It is obvious that the cultivation of supernatural powers has made further progress. "

Ling Yuanqing put down his tea cup and said with a smile.

Qin Feng laughed but said nothing. In the eyes of these people, he was a national master who had been practicing in seclusion in the past few years, and occasionally had an incarnation to walk in the world. As a matter of fact, he went to fight in a different world, and the growth of his strength was inevitable.

"Recently Is the country peaceful? "

He asked casually. He seldom intervened in the political affairs of the central government of the DPRK, and Zhao Yuanjin's ability was not poor. It should not be difficult to carry out those reform measures with the prestige and authority of the founder of the country.

"Basically so,"

Ling Yuanqing glanced at Wen Songlin and said, "the army has always been stable, and the emperor has been keeping a close eye on this aspect, so there is no possibility of trouble. On the place At present, it's safe. "

Wen Songlin nodded and shook his head: "it's just that there are more taxes, but there are still voices of discontent, especially those gentry and civil servants in the south of the Yangtze River who dare not act out of the way on the surface, but have a lot of resentment behind their backs."

Qin Feng laughs, which does not surprise him. It is not a comfortable thing for him to lose his vital interests. What's more, it is a group of literati who master the pen pole? In the past few hundred years, they have been on the top, domineering, enjoying the preferential treatment given by the imperial court, and trying to make profits from their own pockets. Now these are all gone. Can they balance?

However, with their own in, no matter how many unwilling to resent, they can only endure, dare to jump out to do something? Let's see if they have the ability to change the world!

A moment later, Prince Zhao Xinlu came out of the inner room with a beautiful, virtuous and dignified woman with a baby in her arms.

Qin Feng looked at her and remembered that the empress had mentioned to herself that this was the daughter of Su Mujia, an important Minister of the cabinet and Minister of the Ministry of Hubu. She had been married to the crown prince for a year and had not given birth so soon.

The prince is younger than himself, but now he is the father of three children. The other two girls are born by the side concubine.

Ling Yuanqing and other three people got up to salute, but Qin Feng's identity was not used. A slight nod was even a greeting.

"And ask the teacher to name the son."

Prince Zhao Xinlu took the baby from her arms and carefully sent it to Qin Feng. Little guy is not full moon, born white and lovely, black eyes curiously looking around.

Qin Feng was inspired by the spirit of a real immortal. He found that the child had good endowment, strong physique and good fortune. If there were no accidents in the future, there might be a king's fate. Of course, there is no need to be clear about this now.

He thought for a while and said: "Chu Dynasty inherits the fire virtue to stand, this child, is called Zhao Yu."

"What the teacher said is very good. That's settled."

Zhao Xinlu beamed with joy, and Ling Yuanqing looked at each other and agreed with each other.

Although the national teacher did not make it clear, but this attitude, in the eyes of outsiders, can be associated with a lot of meanings. At least, the crown prince is favored by the national teachers, and his position is as stable as a rock. As long as the child can grow up safely, he will have a bright future in the future.

Qin Feng took out a beautiful purple jade card. In the twinkling light, more than ten magic powers of calming the mind and eliminating diseases and evil spirits were added to it, and then handed it to Zhao Xinlu, telling him, "I'll always wear it for the children in the future. It's good for him."

In this era, the medical level is backward, but there is no vaccine and so on. The physical fitness of children can not be compared with that of adults. The probability of illness and death is very high. Even the imperial family is no exception, and there is no comparison with the main world.

Although the national master had many wives and concubines, he had no descendants. Otherwise, if he could have a family of children and daughters, the relationship would naturally be strong. The father must have loved it.

Qin Feng lingjue Tong Ming, look at his eyes have been able to guess a possible, slightly wry smile in his heart, but his relationship with the family is not clear, is this kind of thing really appropriate? It's impossible in the main world anyway. Of course, with his detached identity in the Chu Dynasty, if it is true, others dare not question what.

……

Jiangnan, Yu family mansion.

"Dong!"

Yu Shoucheng, the owner of the house, smashed his golden wine glass on the banquet table. With his ferocious and twisted face, everyone can see that this kind-hearted leader of a powerful family is in a bad mood.

"This damned monster is determined to cover the sky with one hand?"

Yu Shoucheng said in a gloomy way: "it doesn't count to control the emperor and the crown prince. Now even TAISUN has to be in control. What does he want to do? Be the supreme emperor of the great Chu dynasty

The faces of more than a dozen homeowners around him were equally ugly. None of the news from the capital of Luojing recently made people happy.Zhao Yuanjin has issued an imperial edict to make many political opinions and propositions put forward by the demon national master as the ancestral system of the Chu Dynasty, which means that even if the later emperors have different ideas, they can not explicitly violate them.

The reform of the imperial examination system, the reform of commercial tax, the spread of people into mu, the integration of the gentry and the officials, the supply of grain, and the opening of the sea trade, all of which were constantly cutting meat from these literati. It's not enough to cut their meat, but also to cut their offspring's meat together. It's strange that they have no resentment at the bottom of their hearts.

Of course, the court is undoubtedly the biggest beneficiary in this process, and the common people are also the beneficiaries. Therefore, it has been recognized by most people in the world after its implementation.

In the past few years after the unification of the world, the national strength of the Chu Dynasty increased rapidly, and the revenue of the national treasury increased year after year. The Navy Fleet took a huge fleet of sea trade ships to the four seas, and each time brought back a large amount of money and goods, which continuously provided blood for the Chu Dynasty.

However, all this had nothing to do with the gentry and aristocratic families in the south of the Yangtze River. All the Gold Mountains and silver sea flowed into the imperial court's Treasury and into the private treasury of the national teachers. They could not even get involved.

Yang Chuan, the head of the Yang family, said in a quiet way: "as far as I know, the annual overseas trade income of the national master's office is no less than 20 million taels of silver, not to mention other aspects of income. The imperial treasury can also have more than 10 million taels of money each year. These It should be the interests of our Jiangnan aristocratic families. Now I'm divided up by the demon and the imperial court. I feel sorry for my family's lack of success. It's really... "

Wang Changqing, the head of the Wang family, said: "gentlemen, we can't go on like this any more. Our industrial income in recent years has become less and less, and the situation is not as good as before. If we have to go on for a few years, I'm afraid we will be reduced to the ordinary rich families. How can you bear to be taken away by the court for nothing after all the hard work and hard work? "

The crowd was silent, and an older householder coughed and said helplessly: "that's the case, but since the last big case of several heads of the Hong family and so on, there are few officials who dare to stand out in the court. What can we do just by ourselves?"

Last time, Hong chenxuan, the leader of the Hong family, tried to overthrow the empress and kill the crown prince in order to let the prince of Hong Guifei go to the top. However, he was robbed of his family because of his failure. A large number of officials were decapitated and exiled. So far, the government and the public were silent, and no one dared to think about it.

It is also because the biggest big families have been ruined, and these aristocratic families headed by the Yu family have the chance to become the leaders of gentry in the south of the Yangtze River, and their status and influence have been further enhanced.

At first, they were fairly well behaved, but after so long time, and with more and more loss of their own interests, they finally couldn't help it.

Although there are lessons learned from the past, people's dissatisfaction and resentment can be accumulated. Once a certain critical point is reached, it will erupt regardless. When you use it, it doesn't matter what you fear.

Maybe the longevity master doesn't know how to do it

"What do you think of brother Yu?" Wang Changqing asked.

"We don't need to fight with the imperial court. Let's mobilize officials and scholars in Jiangnan area to write books together."

Yu Shoucheng said in a deep voice: "thousands of civil servants, together with the leaders of the folk scholars and scholars, have given a memorial to the emperor. If he dares to disobey the wishes of so many people, he will certainly make concessions in tax revenue and sea trade, so as to pacify the people in the south of the Yangtze River."

For the time being, the head of the Yu family doesn't want to rise up and do something that involves nine ethnic groups. He intended to make use of the public opinion in the south of the Yangtze River to force the emperor Zhao Yuanjin to compromise.

He felt that the common will of thousands of local civil servants at all levels could not be ignored by Zhao Yuanjin no matter how strong he was. He must be able to pacify him. Otherwise, when the time comes, public opinion will be boiling and half of the country will be in chaos. The emperor with a little mind will not ignore such consequences.
