On the second day after the Datang was launched, Qin Hao was 'sick', and he was very sick, in order to confuse the truth, he also deliberately took a few cold showers, which really made him catch a cold and fever.

As the spiritual leader of the merchants, when he fell ill in a mall like Yangzhou, it was natural that there were people who kept shouting for warmth, but most of them were blocked, and only a few high-ranking doors such as Jinling Wang's entered the door and chatted for a few words.

I heard that the head of the Wang family made many reforms to his business the day after meeting Rong Guogong and made a lot of money, and since then, there has been an endless stream of people visiting the door.

When the time of three days was up, Qin Xiaohao knelt down and said, "Dad, I figured it out." ”

"Let's talk about it if you figure it out."

"You fell ill in Yangzhou because you wanted to buy people's hearts and further maintain your position among merchants?"

Qin Hao shook his head and said, "You can only see such a little thing?" ”

"Yes, please ask my father to teach me."

"Alas! Winning people's hearts and the like is just a matter of convenience, capitalism has sprouted, although it is still just a small beast, but there is no need for me to guide it anymore, it will eat on its own, grow on its own, and sooner or later it will grow into a giant beast.

Although this giant beast was hatched by me, even I don't know where this giant beast will end up, and there is no point in controlling it, because we can't control it at all, and it is enough to leave a piece of incense between each other, which is why I have always disapproved of you infiltrating Hongmen. ”

"The real reason why I pretended to be sick this time is mainly because I don't want to go back to the capital, you and I are two thousand years ahead, this pattern must be there, let me ask you, who is in charge of Chang'an now?"

"Naturally, it's the physiognomy."

"Yes, it's the prime minister, but it's Li Chengqian who is in charge of the country, seven years ago, although it was the same when His Majesty conquered Liaodong, but the prince of that meeting was still young, what the prime minister said was naturally what it was, it was basically an ornament, but now? Today's Li Chengqian is twenty-three years old, and today's prince already has his own prince's party. ”

"Are you saying that Li Chengqian will have a conflict with Fang Xuanling? This..... The prince shouldn't be so unwise. ”

"I don't know if Li Chengqian will be so unwise, but with my understanding of Fang Xiang, he will definitely not have a head-on conflict with Li Chengqian, and naturally he will not have a conflict, he is a cautious person, he will not do anything that offends the next Son of Heaven, but, the front-line soldiers are fighting, such a big country needs to operate, so he must monopolize power, and he can't let Li Chengqian mess around, if you are Fang Xiang, what will you do?"

"Hmm。。。。。 Although Li Chengqian has not really dealt with any specific government affairs over the years, he has been staring at Nanya, and it should not be easy to fool him. ”

Qin Hao sighed: "Of course Li Chengqian is not easy to fool, but he is short-sighted, or those bullshit princelings around him are too short-sighted, taking the opportunity of this time to supervise the country, the power of the prince's party will definitely grow a lot, Fang Xuanling will definitely give them a certain sweetness in order to maintain the overall situation, no good, those who are loyal to the prince have now been promoted." ”

"I see, now that Hou Junji is not here, if you return to Chang'an, you will be the leader of the prince's party, even if you don't do anything, when Your Majesty returns to Beijing, you will inevitably be disgusted with you, and even if you want to be alone, I am afraid that you will not be able to get it, and if you don't want to be pulled out as a flag, if the prince and Fang Xiang disagree on something, you will be caught in the middle."

"Yes, when we came out, Wang Qi was already out of breath and less in breath, and I don't know if he is dead now, but even if he doesn't die, it should be soon, the position of the Ministry of Rites is the most suitable for my half-phase, if I am in Beijing, Li Chengqian will definitely take this opportunity to get me up, and Fang Xiang can't say anything, when the time comes, will I, the Ministry of Rites, be shot by the left servant of the Shangshu, or will I listen to the prince of the prison country? Li Shimin has ten years to live, and I don't want to be labeled a princeling. ”

Qin Xiaohao sighed: "But Dad, we have been waiting for Wang Jue's pigtails before, you are 'sick' in Yangzhou at this time, of course, it is Mingzhe to protect your life, but the position of the secretary of the Ministry of Rites is gone, next time it will be difficult to have such an opportunity, and those old things for a while and a half will not die, you have been without an official position for two years now, if you wait a few more years, this will 。。。。。 ”

Qin Hao sighed and said: "This is also something that can't be helped, I'm just twenty-five this year, what's the hurry, let me settle for a few more years, it's good, I want to test you, you say, this Ministry of Rites is still in my favor, when Your Majesty comes back, where is my political future?" ”

Qin Xiaohao thought for a while and said: "It should be the province of the door, the government and the opposition have long had a public opinion, saying that you can only be a leader when you are an official, and you can't be the second one, think about it, only the master can manage you, if you can't director a book, go to the door to be a yellow door squire first, and take over his class when the master is old in the future." ”

Qin Hao sighed again and said: "You, you're still too tender, you'll be older in the future, listen to your daughter-in-law's opinion more about anything, you are not playing politics at all, if Your Majesty really has this heart, I would have been a waiter in the Yellow Gate a long time ago, and when Pei Xingjian wins this battle, a recommendation is indispensable, that is, the imperial envoy doctor My qualifications are enough, the master is now concurrently serving the two positions of the servant and the imperial historian, Your Majesty is scolded by him all day long, and it is reasonable to say that my apprentice should do the imperial envoy doctor." ”

"You mean, Your Majesty doesn't want you to enter the province?"

"Yes, in fact, I don't want to enter the province, our emperor through the ages, is a rare emperor who is willing to be scolded, so there can be a courtier like my master, and I, although I am my master's apprentice, but it has nothing to do with the word upright, I am born with a sleek character, our majesty is very knowledgeable, he can't let a person like me go to the province."

"That... I just can't see it. ”

"The prince's power is expanding, and His Majesty will definitely suppress it after he returns, but as long as Li Chengqian is not abolished, it will not affect the overall situation, as the prince's sworn friend, does Your Majesty really rest assured that he will put me in Shangshu Province?"

"You mean you're going to go to the Middle Book Province?"

"Well, nine times out of ten is the province of Zhongshu, I remember that Fang Xuanling was dismissed three times, calculate the time, it should be fast, he is also the left servant of the Zhongshu Ling monk to shoot two prime ministers, this right, it is inevitably too big, it is impossible to really take him off, Your Majesty can't do without him, but if you don't have one...

"So Dad, you will replace Fang Xuanling and be the middle school order?"

"It's hard to say, for me, the Zhongshu Order is a little shallower, the most reasonable arrangement should be for me to be the secretary first, and slowly replace the work of the Zhongshu Ling in the Fang Xiang, hehe, the Zhongshu Ling, this is the head of the hundred officials!"
