Although Li Guan's reputation in Shilin was already stinky, if he personally proposed the custom tax, his reputation would be even more stinky; And before, everyone just said that he 'disregarded the face of scholars', and after that, it is estimated that he would say that he 'disregarded the face of Confucianism' or even 'turned his back on Confucianism'. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 infoSo even if you don't want to be as shameless as Li Guan, you don't want to bear such a reputation.

So Li Guan played a little trick, and selected a literate policeman who had been assigned to the work of a former scribe to make this suggestion to him, and then he first praised the policeman as if he had heard of this suggestion for the first time, and then reported the matter to the recital, and praised the policeman in the recital, and also proposed that Yunxi give the policeman a promotion.

However, when Yun Xi received Li Guan's recital, he was not in the mood to deal with it for the time being, so he stayed in the middle first. And on this day, he hastily replied to the other folds and went to the harem; The four auxiliary officers and the scholars present also did not care at all.

Because Queen Xue Xiyao is pregnant again.

Although she already has a son and the crown prince of the Ming Dynasty, the possibility of young children dying in this era is not low, Zhu Yuanzhang's luck is good, only two of the twenty-six sons died, but Zhu Biao's six sons died two, and the probability reached one-third. And one of them is the eldest son.

So although the clan and ministers who were interested in Yunxi didn't dare to say it, they were also worried about what would happen if the prince died of illness. Now that the queen is pregnant again, even if it is not certain that it must be a boy, everyone is still relieved. I don't think it's wrong for Yun Xi to be a little abandoned to the government.

Yoon-hee himself was happy. He and Xiyao have been married for five years, and they have the deepest feelings, and they are still happier than An Concubine and Baoqin are pregnant for Xiyao's pregnancy.

Although he doesn't rest in Kunning Palace every day, he finds time to accompany Xiyao every day, and talks to Xiyao's belly, although Xiyao has just been pregnant for more than a month, it is estimated that the fetus is still a ball of meat, and it is useless for him to speak, but he just wants to talk.

Xiyao herself is also very happy, and she also cherishes this child very much, she has a lot less time to deal with palace affairs, and she has a lot less time to deal with her subordinates who make mistakes, and even Min'er feels that she is much more gentle with herself. usually treats Min'er Xiyao as a strict mother.

Min'er was also very happy, and every day she gathered around Xiyao and said something to Xiyao's stomach, and said that this must be a little brother.

Of course, Min'er also asked the same question that many children have asked: "Mother, how did the little brother get in?" She didn't have Baidu to check, so she had to ask her mother.

Xi Yao was embarrassed, and he confused the problem left and right. Min'er, who couldn't get an answer when she asked others, was so depressed.

Of course, the subordinates of Kunning Palace are also much busier, and all those who can come into contact with Xiyao are more careful, the floor of the entire Kunning Palace is covered with carpets, and the water chestnuts of many furniture are worn away, and there are four palace maids guarding her at any time, and she has never arranged it so when she was pregnant with her first child.

In addition, there is a little master who has worked much harder. "Yi'er, my sister is pregnant, this palace affairs can only work hard for you." Xi Yao said to Xi Yi.

"And, in order to be safe, my sister is still not pregnant during this time." She continued.

This is the rule set by their sisters after Miaojin entered the palace. Miaojin's position in the palace is second only to Queen Xiyao, higher than Xiyi, if it is just Xiyao pregnant, it is reasonable to hand over the palace affairs to Xiyi, but if Xiyi is also pregnant, it is most appropriate to hand it over to Miaojin, and now Miaojin is not pregnant.

Although Miaojin may not be like a person who will treat them, and she doesn't seem to be a person who will treat them well, but the heart of defense is indispensable, and they still feel that power is best in their own hands.

"Yes, sister, I see." Xiyi said. They had already discussed it before, so naturally she would not disagree.

"Sister, I'm still bitter for you." Xi Yao said. Xiyi also has only one child now.

……

……

However, although Yun Xi accompanied Xi Yao for a while every day, he only had a few days of being absent-minded in dealing with the government, and then he resumed his diligence. His reform of the capital is not finished, how can he abandon the government for a long time.

The first thing Yun Xi had to deal with when he returned to his normal state was Li Guan's twists and turns.

Yun Xi knew that although the ministers had no objection to his raid on the brothel, at most they were just sarcastic in private; But if he openly proposed a tax on brothels, I am afraid that many Confucians would openly oppose it. Even Fang Xiaoru and Yun Xi will not agree with the trump cards that have always dealt with other true Confucians, because there were no brothels at all in the three generations, and brothels only appeared during the Guan Zhong period, and there is still controversy about whether this thing founded by Guan Zhong and the current brothel are considered the same category.

If Yun Xi forcibly passed, of course, it would be fine, but the implementation would not be too smooth, just like Yun Xi's announcement of the ban on foot binding in the eyes of many people, after disposing of batch after batch of officials who bound their daughter's feet, the official woman's foot binding was stopped, but he knew through Jinyiwei that there were still foot bindings among the people, and he was very helpless. Although the number of people has decreased a lot.

Therefore, Yun Xi decided to set off an event in order to pass this piece of music relatively smoothly.

……

……

Dong Lun dragged his tired body out of the yamen of the Ministry of Rites, and the relatives around him hurriedly walked over to help him get into the sedan chair, and then asked, "Master, are you going back to the house or?" ”

"Go to Jiefu." Dong Lun said.

I didn't ask in person, but just let the sedan chair man carry the sedan chair and go to the mansion.

When Dong Lun came to the Xie Mansion, Xie Jin had not yet returned, but the subordinates of the Xie Mansion knew that Dong Lun was a friend of his master, so they let him into the living room of the mansion. Xie Jin's wife also came out to meet Dong Lun, of course, accompanied by a servant.

Dong Lun waited in the living room for a while, and Xie Jin came back. He had obviously heard the news of Dong Lun's arrival from his servant, so he came to the living room without even changing his clothes after returning to the house, and after a few words of greeting with Dong Lun, he asked, "Brother Dong, why did you come to my house today?" "Recently, the Ministry of Rites has been a little busy, and if it weren't for something, I wouldn't have come to Xie Jin to chat casually.

Dong Lun smiled: "I can't hide anything from you." I would like to ask, what is the purpose of this matter organized by His Majesty, what is the 'study of governing the country'? ”

Yes, Yun Xi's method is to let all officials learn from Guan Zhong. In Yunxi's view, Guan Zhong is the first Ming minister in China through the ages, and the later ones can't compare with Xiao He, Zhuge Liang, Fan Zhongyan, and Zhang Juzheng.

Guan Zhong has created countless firsts in Chinese history. Many of the policies of Guan Zhong are worth learning from the leaders of the Republic and even the world to later generations.
