Zhihonglu Temple, officially sealed Zhou Xuan as the Marquis of Xinzhou, from the second grade, the food Yi attacked Yongye field 1,400 acres. (Eye to the book)

  Zhou Xuan sighed with emotion in his heart: "I finally have a field, there are roots in the field, 1,400 acres, what a big piece, buddy has become a landlord, haha, I promised to come over to bless him as a peasant woman, a mountain spring, and a little field, and now I can cash it out." ”

  The chamberlain reported: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has arrived." ”

  Li Jianda walked in, first greeted his father and mother, admired Zhou Xuan's paintings, praised two sentences, and learned that Zhou Xuan was enthroned as the Marquis of Xinzhou, he was overjoyed, and said in a loud voice: "Congratulations to cousin Xuan, when cousin moves into the Hou Mansion, my brother must come to ask for a glass of wine." ”

  After Li Peng drove back to Zichen Palace, Zhou Xuan accompanied Xiao Zhou Hou to have a conversation, Zhou Xuan was well-informed, his words were funny, and he casually picked a few small stories in "Notes on Reading Wei Caotang", and the queen, prince, chamberlain, and palace lady in the south study all listened to it with relish, and even the sulking Princess Qingle listened attentively.

  After Zhou, Feng Yan was happy, and said: "In the future, Xuan's nephew will enter the palace to chat with his aunt, Ah Jian, pass on the will of the palace, and give Xinzhou Hou Zhou Xuan a fish patrol talisman, you can freely enter and leave the palace, and Jin Wuwei must not be interrogated and blocked." ”

  Li Jian saw that the hour was not early, so he said: "Queen Mother, Cousin Xuan still has to play chess at night, and it is a pity that he lost to Huang Xingjian by half a son yesterday. ”

  Zhou Hou said with a smile: "It's the fault of the palace, I let my nephew draw a portrait for a day yesterday, it's very hard, Jian'er, you send your cousin Xuan out of the palace - nephew Xuan, if you have time, you will enter the palace to accompany your aunt more." ”

  After Zhou Xuan resigned from Xiao Zhou, he and the prince Li Jian walked out of the "Calyx Xianghui Building" side by side. The two walked slowly, while talking about the fact that the Tang people were rich and the country was poor, Zhou Xuan said: "I thought about it for a long time last night, it is imperative to increase the endowment, but it must be gradual, I have a proposal, isn't there a lot of rich businessmen in the Tang Kingdom, and these businessmen have millions of dollars of wealth." Suffering from low status. If the court makes a decree. Allowing merchants to pay tribute and donate officials is just a fictitious title, such as donating 100,000 taels of silver to an eight-rank official rank, it is estimated that it will not take ten months, and the treasury can receive one million taels of silver. ”

  Zhou Xuan wanted to implement the donation system hundreds of years in advance, but Li Jian only felt whimsical and hesitated: "This idea is good. I'm afraid that it will be difficult to implement, and the two ministers of Dongtai and Xitai will not be able to get through, and businessmen have always been the last of the four people, and letting businessmen become officials will inevitably cause great criticism among scholars, farmers, and construction sites. ”

  Zhou Xuan shook his head and said, "Is it so difficult for the Tang State to implement a decree? This doesn't work, that doesn't work, when the northern soldiers go south and the war breaks out. It was too late to regret it. ”

  Li Jian sighed: "Father pays attention to inaction. The law was loose, and the people were used to it, and it was difficult to reverse it at this time. Moreover, if I insist on implementing the new policy, Li Kun and his party will take the opportunity to hinder and buy people's hearts. ”

  Zhou Xuandao: "Most of the people, are the same as the clouds, wait and see the trend, we have to find a way to manipulate public opinion, guide the people, I have an idea, Tang State does not have a newspaper, we want to expand its circulation, not only for officials to see, to the common people can also see, relying on hand copying is not possible, the use of printing, print tens of thousands of copies of it, the 36 states of the Tang State are distributed, the content, is to analyze the situation of various countries, let the people of the Tang State know the situation of the country, advocate 'the rise and fall of the country, the husband is responsible'——"

  Li Jian praised: "The rise and fall of the country is the responsibility of the husband, and Cousin Xuan said it too well!" ”

  Zhou Xuan smiled "hehe" and continued: "With such a public opinion foundation, it will be much easier to implement the new tax system, as for the matter of letting businessmen donate officials, this can set a model, after the news of the palace is out, if there is a businessman who donates a huge amount of money to the treasury in a timely manner, shouldn't such a patriotic businessman be particularly sympathetic?" There should be no objection to giving an eight-rank official title, since it has set a precedent, it will be easier to donate officials in the future. (Eyes read the book)"

  Li Jian said: "The businessman didn't know in advance that there was an official to do, so how could he donate such a huge amount of money?" It's hard to wait for such a businessman. ”

  Zhou Xuan said with a smile: "Brother Jian, you don't have to worry about this, you know my friend Abu, a Hu businessman, he is rich, and he is very loyal and patriotic, just do this unprecedented good deed for him, and ensure that the merchants who donate silver land will line up in the future." ”

  Li Jian was overjoyed, held Zhou Xuandi's hand and said: "Cousin Xuan's wisdom is really difficult for Guan Zhong and Zhuge to reach, I will immediately go to handle this matter, Di Bao is in charge of Zhongshu Province, and the relationship between Lord Qi Zhangqi and me is acceptable, if it is Wei Xuan of Menxia Province, it will take a lot of trouble." ”

  Zhou Xuan said: "This newspaper is aimed at the common people, the words should be as easy to understand as possible, do not talk too much, and start from the things that the people care about, for example, compared with the Northern Song Dynasty, the Southern Han Dynasty, and the Wu Yue countries, the life of the people of the Tang Kingdom is the best, so that the people understand this, in contrast, to keep such a happy life must pay something." ”

  Li Jian nodded again and again, and was about to go to Zhongshu Province, Zhou Xuan grabbed him and asked, "Brother Jian, what's the matter with Princess Qingle, she quarreled with me in the south study before." ”

  Li Jian exclaimed: "Hu Zhu quarreled with you? Cousin Xuan take care of it more, Hu Zhu would not be like this before, since last year she married Liu Shousu, the prince of the Southern Han Kingdom, her temper has become worse and worse, there is really no way, born in the imperial family, sometimes it is not as free as the common people. ”

  Zhou Xuan said suddenly: "Her Royal Highness the princess is also pitiful, but it is not good to be angry with others, and Brother Jian must also persuade her." ”

  Li Jian smiled bitterly: "Hu Zhu doesn't listen to me, listen to Li Kun, Li Kun is good at rhetoric, and there are many people in the palace who are deceived by him." ”

  Zhou Xuan smiled and said: "I see, Brother Jian, you are busy with your going, I will go back to the Fenghua Military Mansion, and I will play chess at night." ”

  Zhou Xuan returned to the shore of Mochou Lake, and Judge Fan and Gu Changshi were also really well-informed, and they knew about Zhou Xuan's sealing of the marquis, so they came to congratulate and changed their names, calling them "Marquis, Marquis, Marquis Zhou".

  The Sun brothers have moved here to live, and said with a smile: "The marquis and the enemy are destroyed, these are the two great pleasures in life, and Brother Zhou has encountered them all in one day, which is really gratifying." ”

  Wei Jue's mysterious death had spread among the Beijing Mansion, and the Sun brothers heard about it at noon, and they shouted with joy and toasted again and again.

  The three idiots came over and whispered: "Master, the fake mother of 'Mei Xianglou' was summoned to the Dali Temple Criminal Prison Department for questioning, and she was released on the same day." At present, Dali Temple is sending people to track down the traces of the two missing women in 'Meixianglou'. ”

  Zhou Xuan

  "I see. "Back to Meixiang Xiaoyuan, go up to the second floor to see me: <

  Nian Nu was talking to Yang Xiaofeng, basically she was talking, Yang Xiaofeng just nodded and shook her head, Yang Xiaofeng was pure and beautiful, so that Nian Nu was ashamed of herself, and she was even more glad to be able to enter the Zhou Gate, and when she saw Zhou Xuan coming in, she hurriedly saluted. Verbal title: "Master". Don't dare to shout anymore, "Seven Forks Child." Zhou Qicha Gongzi".

  Yang Xiaofeng is still the same, just giving a salute, taking a deep look at Zhou Xuan, sitting down by himself, quiet as a quiet orchid.

  Zhou Xuan asked: "Niannu, do you know the person who asked you to get on his boat on the Qinhuai River that day?" ”

  Nian Nu said: "I recognize, it's Hongzhou Wei Gongzi." ”

  Zhou Xuan nodded and said, "Hmm." It was the son of Zhennan Jiedu, who died yesterday. ”

  Yang Xiaofeng raised his head, and his wonderful eyes were full of surprise.

  "Dead?" Niannu exclaimed: "How did you die? ”

  Zhou Xuan said lightly: "Of course it was killed by someone, according to what Wei Jue said on the boat, it was a woman named Ning who took away Wei Gongzi, and this Ning worked as a courtesan in 'Meixianglou' for a few days." ”

  Nian Nu looked at Zhou Xuan fixedly, and said in his heart: "Ning is Ning Ning, wasn't you and your men defeated the night before yesterday?" Then it was gone. The master now said that Ning Ning had killed Wei Jue. What does that mean? ”

  Niannu is a smart person, the more he thinks about it, the more afraid he becomes, he knelt down and mourned: "Please save Niannu from the master." ”

  Zhou Xuan smiled: "It's good if you understand." Don't worry, you'll be fine, once you enter my Zhou Gate, I have to protect you, otherwise what will I do as this Hou Ye! You can change your name to Nian Nujiao for the time being, the name of the song brand, haha. ”

  Niannu lifted the center of the earth and put it down: "Thank you master for giving the name." ”

  Zhou Xuan touched the sheep's small hand^H, Shi Shiran went downstairs, and went to play chess with the three idiots and the four idiots.

  This is the eighth round of the Lantern Festival chess battlefield, Fenghua Army is against the chess players of Zhennan Duhufu, led by Lai Xiushan, who ranks ninth among the eighteen chess players, before six wins and one loss, only a small loss to Huang Xingjian, the first hand also defeated Wu Weinan, who ranked seventh, and his strength was strong, but Wei Jue's death obviously affected the chess players of the Zhennan Army, Lai Xiushan lost to Zhou Xuan first, and the third chess player also lost to the three idiots, only the second Taiwan defeated the four idiots, and the Fenghua Army defeated the Zhennan Army 2 to 1.

  When Zhou Xuan was in the country's prison, the judge of the Zhennan Metropolitan Protectorate came out and said, "Zhou Xuan, you stop." ”

  Zhou Xuan said coldly: "Is Zhou Xuan's name you?" Do you know that this is offending Shangguan? ”

  The judge asked angrily: "What kind of official are you, I only know that Wei Gongzi's death has nothing to do with you, is that Ning bought by you instead?" ”

  Waiting for Zhou Xuan to go back together, Judge Fan heard the quarrel, walked over and sneered: "Judge Zhu, this is Your Majesty's newly sealed Marquis of Xinzhou, from the second rank, and the position of the judge is from the fourth grade, what are you not offending the official?" Why don't you make amends to Marquis Zhou? ”

  "Marquis of Shinshu!" The judge surnamed Zhu in Zhennan Duhufu was taken aback, Wei Jue died unexpectedly, he could not escape the blame as a judge, Wei Bo blamed it and lost his head, so he wanted to find out the murderer as soon as possible and give Wei Bo an explanation, he was puzzled by Ning's defection, the only explanation was that the woman was bought by Zhou Xuan, and instead of killing Zhou Xuan, he killed Wei Jue, so he proposed to Dali Siqing to arrest Zhou Xuan, but it was rejected, but it turned out that Zhou Xuan was the marquis, Zhou Xuan is the nephew of the queen, isn't it normal to be a marquis? There is no way, only to wait for Wei Duhu to deal with this matter, how can he, Judge Zhu, fight with the marquis?

  Judge Zhu said: "The lower official is reckless. The gray slipped away.

  Judge Fan said in a low voice: "Master Hou, cut the grass to eradicate the roots, although Wei Jue is dead, but Lord Hou is still in trouble, only the Zhennan Festival makes it easy, and Master Hou can sit back and relax." ”

  Zhou Xuan knew that Judge Fan believed that he had gotten rid of Wei Jue, so he said: "Wei Bo colluded with the Southern Han Falcon Gate, and he had already had the intention of rebellion. ”

  Judge Fan was secretly surprised by Zhou Xuan's methods, like playing chess, interlocking, Wei Bo did not leave Hongzhou, so there was really no way to deal with him, but if he came to Jinling for the death of his son, it would be much easier to deal with, and said: "Wei Bo has a close relationship with King Jing, and it is not easy to move him." ”

  Zhou Xuan said with a smile: "King Jing is still on the way to Chengdu, there is no month to come back, Judge Zhu quickly reported the news, Wei Bo waterway is direct, it will not take half a month, Wei Bo will go to Jinling, I believe that the East Palace is very willing to take this opportunity to stand up for power, and can cut off King Jing's wings, killing two birds with one stone, why not?" ”

  Hou Ye Zhou is far-sighted and strategic, Judge Fan only admires, but Judge Fan still has one more worrying thing, and said: "Hou Ye, Lin Duhu intends to send the second miss to the East Palace, yesterday the queen also summoned the second miss, but there was no movement, Hou Ye and Niangniang are close relatives, how about a few words to Niangniang?" ”

  Zhou Xuanxin said: "I will speak ———— is strange!" He said: "Don't worry, Lord Fan, I will find an opportunity to lift the land, the second lady enters the East Palace, and she will be the imperial concubine in the future, and if you are lucky, you may be able to become the queen, then I will not become the queen's brother, beautiful!" ”

  Judge Fan smiled, and said, "Yes, yes." ”

  Back to Mochou Lake, each went back to his residence, Zhou Xuan went to his room to see, the small bed moved away, Xiaoxiang was frightened by the big belly, this whole day holding the stomach is worried, for fear that sleeping with my uncle overnight will make my belly bigger, this will hear Zhou Xuan come back, hurry out to wait for Zhou Xuan to wash.

  Zhou Xuan is so clean, almost every day to take a bath, the little girl used to hand bath towels and clothes, and she didn't avoid taboos, but now when she hands things, her hands are long, and her body is as far away as possible.

  Zhou Xuan looked funny, comforted her and said, "Don't worry, it's okay to sleep only one night, you see Aunt Ben and the two young ladies of Qi'er and Needle, it's been so many days, and it's only one older, right?" Okay, don't be sad, I'll take you to Miss Lin's place tomorrow night to drink tea and listen to the piano, it's fun, now go to bed early. ”

  The girl then got up happy and went back to her room to sleep.

  Zhou Xuan felt that today was a good day, with a knighthood, chess won again, and the enemy died, is it another happy event, happy and happy? What kind of joy is this?
