Li Hong seemed to have expected it a long time ago, looked down at his shoes, and didn't speak, just waiting to hear what Dai Zhide wanted to do.

Dai Zhide glanced at Li Hong, then bowed down to Li Zhi again, and said, "Your Majesty, the minister does not dare to agree with His Royal Highness the Prince's proposal to exchange cloth for cash. Nowadays, there is a gap in the price of cloth in the east and west cities, and if someone seeks to make the difference in exchange, it will be a huge loss for the courtiers and officials. Furthermore, cloth and silk are gifts from His Majesty to his ministers and other servants, so how can the gifts be counted in money? Isn't that blasphemy against divine grace? ”

Li Hong still lowered his head, changed positions with the secretary of the ministry, stood next to the new secretary of the Ministry of Rites, Zhang Cambodia, ignored Dai Zhide's righteousness, and asked Zhang Cambodia in a low voice, "How?" Can you adapt to Chang'an? Did the family come with you? ”

Zhang Cambodia had heard that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince did not stick to tradition and did not abide by the rules of the court, but now that he saw it with his own eyes, he was still shocked.

The court is opposing his proposal, and it is his sworn enemy who is opposing him, he doesn't listen carefully, but chats with himself with a relaxed demeanor!

There are a lot of rules in the court, and the ministers can't talk to each other privately when they go to the court, Zhang Cambodia naturally knows, but at this moment, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince asked, and he had to bow slightly, his eyes did not squint, and he looked ahead and whispered: "Thank you for your concern, because it is an urgent call, so now only the minister brings a house slave over, and the family should be on the way to and from Chang'an at this time." ”

"Oh, have you found a house? Where to stay? I have time to go to my house. Li Hong glanced at Dai Zhide, who was still talking to his father, and continued.

Zhang Cambodia's face suddenly turned embarrassed, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince urgently summoned and appointed himself as the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, which is already inconsistent with the laws of the Tang Dynasty.

Li Hong looked at him with a sad face, how could he not know what he was thinking, and said with a faint smile: "I think too much about you, what's the use of me trying to win you over?" I urgently summoned you because I knew that you were worthy of my urgent call, because I believed that you could be qualified for the post of secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and because I believed that you could contribute to the Jiangshan Society of Datang. In the past, you just had bad luck, but you didn't meet talents, you are a thousand miles, I will be a Bole, this matter does not have to be taken to heart. ”

"Thank you Your Highness for this, I don't know what you ordered to let the minister go to the household department?" Zhang Cambodia immediately bowed slightly, feeling a little embarrassed, his careful thinking did not expect to be noticed by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince so quickly, and at the same time, his face was slightly red, just a book, I am afraid it is not worthy of His Royal Highness the Prince's blatant wooing in the court.

"Oh, it's nothing, officials who are transferred from the local area to Chang'an to serve above the third grade have a settling-in fee, which is provided for you to find a house and other expenses." Li Hong said lightly.

"Why hasn't anyone ever heard about this?" After coming to the Ministry of Rites, there were naturally waiters and others who told him everything, but he didn't hear anyone talk about it.

"Oh, I just decided when I saw you today." Li Hong said shamelessly as a matter of course.

"This ...... I'm afraid it's not appropriate, setting this precedent for the minister, and the minister deserves it. Zhang Cambodia didn't expect His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to be so "nonsense", because he actually wanted to change a law.

"There is nothing suitable or inappropriate, the magistrate enters Chang'an, which is commendable in itself, often can not be reunited with his family, and it is normal for people to provide some financial comfort, not to mention that you are not the only one, in the future, every official from the third grade who is transferred to Chang'an and Luoyang will have this settlement fee, rest assured to use it, there is no need to ...... pressure."

"Your Highness, Your Majesty has something to ask you." After changing positions with him, the secretary of the ministry looked at His Majesty and saw himself, glared at him angrily, and frightened Li Yiyan, the secretary of the ministry, his legs weakened, and hurriedly secretly reminded His Royal Highness the prince who was still chatting with Zhang Cambodia.

"Huh? What's the matter? Li Hong, who reacted, looked at Li Zhi and asked with innocent eyes.

As soon as Li Zhi saw his virtue, he knew that he had just asked Dai Zhide what he said, but he didn't listen to a word, so he lazily said to Dai Zhide: "If you have any grievances, just say it again, and I'll see how he answers." ”

Dai Zhide also had a dark face, and in vain he had been preparing materials for the past few days, rummaging through the Four Books and Five Classics and other sage books, just to find the knowledge that confronted His Royal Highness the Crown Prince on it, but he didn't expect people to take it seriously at all.

But at this moment, His Majesty gave him a chance to tell his grievances, and Dai Zhide didn't mind repeating what he was about to say just now, so he half-turned to Li Hong to salute first, and then was about to speak.

Seeing that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince waved his hand at him and motioned him to wait, Li Hong looked at the courtiers and said loudly: "Where are Wang Xingben, the Shaoqing of Honglu Temple, Su Wei, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, and Liu Xun, the eunuch of the country?" ”

Dai Zhide watched Li Hong shout out the names of the three people, and the proud and generous look on his face became a little ugly.

Li Hong watched the three of them come from behind, and after saluting Li Zhi, he pointed to Dai Zhide's side and motioned for them to stand over.

Then Li Hongcai slowly took two more steps, stood not far from Dai Zhide, and said with a solemn expression: "I will answer your first question first, that is, the question against me exchanging cloth for cash. ”

Wu Mei, who was hiding in the back hall, this was not the first time she had seen Li Hong go to court, but seeing Li Hong's solemn expression now, it was the first time, and she couldn't help but think in her heart: The little rabbit cub has grown up, but it is really fast, and he is already fourteen years old in a blink of an eye, and it has been a lot of trouble over the years.

"Jin. Ge Hong's "Hug Puzi. There is a saying in the Ming Ben: 'The few things are precious, and the many are cheap.' If according to the meaning of your Dai Zhide, cloth and satin are considered to be the royal gifts of His Majesty, don't you think the royal gifts are too cheap? Li Hong walked up to Dai Zhide as he spoke, and slapped Xu Jingzong's booklet yesterday on Dai Zhide's chest.

Then he slowly walked up to Li Zhi, took out a booklet and put it on the table, and continued: "Why did my Datang use cloth and silk and corn to fill it with money, I don't need to say it, all the ministers understand in their hearts, that is, my Datang had no money at the beginning, and the copper money was either occupied by wealthy people or hidden by the people, causing my Datang to have no money to use, so the emperor's grandfather had to use cloth and silk and corn to fill money as a fortune. Now, my Tang Dynasty is famous in all directions, and all countries worship it, it is already a peaceful and prosperous era, whether it is new money or old money, my Datang can now ensure the abundant flow of copper money, why do you still stick to the old system? ”

"Cloth, silk, corn and so on, that is the primitive society to carry out barter transactions, in the case of copper coins and other expensive metals are scarce, you don't want us to go back to the era of wearing animal skins, right? Oh, maybe you won't understand what I'm talking about, so I won't explain it to you, and you won't understand it. Now for your second question. Li Hong looked at the pedantic Dai Zhide with disdain, his face was black and red at the moment, and he was like a purple eggplant.

The booklet in his hand, Dai Zhide quickly flipped through it, and then looked coldly at the three people who were called up by Li Hong, and the four of them looked at each other, not knowing how such a hidden thing was discovered by His Royal Highness the Prince.

"Dai Zhide, is all this true? Did you take in the Japanese women, Silla maids, and Kunlun slaves and still have money? Li Zhi flipped through half of it, then threw it away and threw it behind him, he knew that Wu Mei was behind, he was too lazy to look at it, so let the queen see it herself.

"Back to Your Majesty, part of it is true, part of it is speculation, as the so-called: what is the trouble of wanting to add to the crime, the minister thinks that even if it is true, it is also the private matter of the ministers, and it has nothing to do with the affairs of the court. Just imagine, if in the future, the envoys and others of the vassal kingdom can meet the ministers of our Tang Dynasty and the courtiers, and give them gifts every time, and we will benefit them, wouldn't it be harmonious and happy, and we can reflect the majesty and generosity of our great country, and can also give it to the interests and respect of others, why not do it. Dai Zhide said loudly, not taking the bribes of the envoys of the Wa Kingdom and Goryeo to heart at all, but was complacent.

Li Hong listened to Dai Zhide's grandiose words, and unconsciously felt a little embarrassed, he was the first time he had met a shameless person who could say that he accepted bribes so highly, so that he had to look at Dai Zhide with admiration now.

"Master Dai, you are amazing. It's the first time I've heard of accepting a bribe, but I can be so reasonable, saying that if you don't accept it, you will lose the face of Datang, it's really embarrassing for you. Li Hong smiled and said to Dai Zhide.

"Hmph, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince should not insinuate and falsely charge, I can't afford Dai Zhide, what the criminal ministers do, the upper can show the sky, the lower can sacrifice to the earth, and the manly husband is worthy of heaven and earth." Dai Zhide raised his head and looked at the top of the court, looking disdainful of talking to Li Hong.

"Six virtues: wisdom, faith, holiness, benevolence, righteousness, and loyalty. Six elements: filial piety, friendship, harmony, marriage, tenacity, compassion. Six arts: etiquette, music, archery, royal, calligraphy, mathematics, this is the fundamental education of my Tang Dynasty to educate the people, the Zhou rites and Confucianism you advocate are just evolved from the three six, whether it is the 'three outlines and five constants', whether it is the rule of virtue, the rule of etiquette, the rule of man, it is nothing more than people-oriented, based on the people of the world. I, the people of the Tang Dynasty, have not yet been fully civilized, I don't know where you got the ability to civilize the ignorance of the Fanbang countries? The foreign states of the domain respect you because I am strong in the Tang Dynasty, or do you respect the Tang Dynasty because you wear Zhide? Under the cart before the horse, what kind of face do you have, saying that the Japanese country bribed you, and you can still face the sky and the earth? Li Hong licked his lips, he was already dead to Dai Zhide in his heart, this person must no longer stay in the court!
