At noon, Liu Hao naturally left Princess Yuzhen and Doudou to eat at home. For Princess Yuzhen to have such a good heart, Liu Hao has always been skeptical. But now the joy of Baguio reuniting with his relatives makes him unable to ask Princess Yuzhen what the purpose is, or wait for a day to interrogate in the annex, then Princess Yuzhen is easy to tell the truth.

After lunch, a group of women were chatting, and Liu Hao took a carriage to SF Express to see what secret Mr. Qin had.

The members of the Blood Drop are also more partial to extorting confessions by torture, at least the various torture tools in the cellar are dazzling, like an exhibition, Liu Hao is amazed, at least half of the torture tools he doesn't know how to use at all.

Several members of the Blood Drop who participated in the interrogation showed Liu Hao the transcript of the interrogation, Liu Hao didn't take it seriously, but after reading it, he found that he underestimated this Mr. Qin.

According to Mr. Qin's confession, Li Mao has a group of dead soldiers in his hands, who are already secretly staring at Liu Hao, and his plan is to get rid of Liu Hao, and then the crown prince can be taken back, because in Li Mao's view, the main reason for Li Hong's ascension is caused by Liu Hao's advocacy.

Seeing this, Liu Hao didn't know what to say. Li Mao is really a fool, he only knew Mr. Qin, so he confessed all his old background, and then sent Mr. Qin to the palace, and waited until the assassination of Liu Hao was successful, so that Mr. Qin jumped out and accused Liu Hao, he took the opportunity to clean up Liu Hao's forces. This kind of plan full of loopholes will Li Mao and Mr. Qin feel successful, Li Mao has a dead man, and there is no one around Liu Hao to protect him?

However, Li Shouli's death made Li Mao wake up a lot, he forgot that his father was not a good-tempered person, and anyone with a discerning eye could see that Li Longji had already planned to kill Li Shouli. Liu Hao was sent to visit Li Shouli that day, in order to provoke him. Even if Li Shouli didn't have the idea of rebellion, he would definitely not have a good face when he saw Liu Hao swaggering into his house.

After leaving the cellar, Liu Hao suddenly felt a little bored. It's a shame that I actually fight with such an opponent. This kind of person whose IQ is on the verge of recharging, Liu Hao feels that he doesn't need to make a move. That Li Mao, let's let Li Hong practice his hands, anyway, the title has been decided, Li Hong is the prince, and now Li Mao is useless even if he jumps up and down, and Li Longji's patience with him has basically been worn out. No father would like such a son, and from time to time he should beware of rebellion.

For this Mr. Qin, Liu Hao no longer cares. The members of the Blood Drop can deal with it as they want, Liu Hao thought it was a hard bone and wanted to give it to Zheng Ming to practice, but he couldn't stand the torture so much, so he didn't let Zheng Ming take over, this kind of person is in Zheng Ming's hands, and it is definitely better to live than die.

Leaving SF Express, Liu Hao just walked to the door of his house, and saw Li Hong's carriage parked outside the door, how could this goods have the leisure to find themselves?

Liu Hao entered the house with questions, and the porter told Liu Hao that Li Hong was here, brought many gifts, and was now at Ziyang Zhenren.

Li Honglai's purpose is very simple, that is, to know if he can return to the military academy to continue to train himself. When he went to ask Li Longji for peace in the morning, he asked Li Longji on the side, and the answer he got was to look at Liu Hao and Li Yi's opinions. Now Li Longji desperately wants to arrange a few more of his own people around Liu Hao, so that Liu Hao has no other ideas.

When Liu Hao met Li Hong, he was asking Ziyang Zhenren for advice on how to be a good emperor. Liu Hao laughed in his heart, he really asked the right person, it's okay to let Ziyang Zhenren beat the emperor, really asked him how to be the emperor, and he also said something sobering, after all, the old guy is just a monk, if he asks Zhang Jiazhen and them, Li Hong can definitely get his own answer.

As soon as Ziyang Zhenren saw Liu Hao coming in, he said to Li Hong with a smile: "If you ask how to be the emperor, it is better to ask Zhicai." This kind of thing should have its own opinion. ”

Liu Hao sat down and said to Li Hong: "Actually, it's very simple, just use good people." When the emperor is in charge of hundreds of officials, rather than doing everything himself, you just need to ensure that the officials under your command are capable and loyal, but not monolithic, this is enough. As for the people's livelihood and the military, officials and generals are naturally in charge. In fact, you can also form a cabinet. ”

Li Hong was stunned when he heard this: "Uncle, what is the cabinet system?" ”

Liu Hao smiled and said: "Just let a few officials who are actually not very good at dealing with it be combined together, let them manage hundreds of officials, and you can just manage them." Cabinet officials have no power of their own, and decisions can only be passed by a few people who jointly sign them, so that some officials can avoid selfish motives. It can also put an end to the disadvantages of one person's shortcoming. It's just that this thing is not easy to do, and it is very difficult for officials to reform all dynasties, and this involves the interests of some people. ”

Li Hong nodded: "This one knows, it's just that it's difficult to return, only if it's conducive to the rule of my Tang Dynasty, this matter will be done." ”

The cabinet system is indeed good, at least in later generations, but many countries have been further upgraded to constitutional monarchies, and imperial power has completely become a symbolic meaning, and the existence of ornaments is general. If Li Hong knew that the cabinet system would develop like this, I don't know if he would be so enthusiastic to try.

Liu Hao continued: "If you want the court to be stable, you must let the people have food. If the people are poorly clothed and hungry, no matter how powerful the dynasty is, it will decline, because in a dynasty, the people are the foundation. Therefore, it is suggested that the taxes of the imperial court should be separated, and the peasants who cultivate the land should be treated lightly, and those who cultivate the land should be rewarded. It is necessary to reduce the peasants' harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes, reform the commercial tax, encourage business, and encourage the development of trade. ”

Li Hong was stunned: "Two tax systems? ”

Liu Hao looked at him curiously: "Is there such a mention now?" ”

Li Hong nodded: "It's probably like this, but my father didn't agree, saying that since ancient times, businessmen have been cheap and can't give them too high a status." Moreover, businessmen value profit over righteousness, and cannot be promoted. ”

Liu Hao pouted: "I'm just a businessman, do I value profit over righteousness?" ”

Li Hong smacked his lips: "A little." ”

Liu Hao is angry, what the hell is this. He asked rhetorically: "Zigong is also a businessman, does he value profit over righteousness?" ”

Li Hong stopped talking.

Liu Hao said: "Businessmen who forget their righteousness for profit rely on the guidance of the imperial court. In fact, is the matter of valuing profit over righteousness only from among businessmen? Now those princes and nobles in the court, which one doesn't like to shout slogans and do everything for the court, but Luoyang builds roads, which officials donate money and materials? Which of those who donate money is not the one you call profitable? As a prince, you don't have many supporters, so it's always good to attract a group of businessmen to cheer for you. ”

Li Hong was silent for a long time, and then said: "But in that case, the ministers of the court will be even more alienated from so-and-so. ”

Liu Hao glanced at him: "Alienated fart, they didn't get any benefits." In the past few days, when you go to court, ask a few officials for an official position, and they will definitely promote you. Now there are many vacancies in the officialdom in Jinyang, and it is the time for you to win over the courtiers, so don't miss this opportunity. There are also people from the military, when you enter a military school, you will naturally be labeled with them, and now is the time to buy it. It is estimated that in a few days, His Majesty will announce the matter of Jinyang in the court, you should grasp it well. ”

There are no eternal enemies, only eternal interests. When there is a benefit, no one will refuse. Li Hong himself is not bad, he just hasn't integrated into the circle of courtiers before, and when he has been in contact with those officials for a long time, he will know that those officials are essentially no different from those dust girls in brothels.

Seeing Li Hong away, Ziyang Zhenren said with a smile: "I hope that today's Zhicai's words can make Li Hong enlightened." This kid is good at everything, but he likes to get angry with his books when it matters. In the future, he will know how to be a good emperor, and now that His Majesty is in good health, it will take a long time for him to ascend to the throne, which is enough for him to grow. ”

Liu Hao nodded: "So I'm just reminding him a little now, the deeper things need to be figured out by himself." If an emperor pays attention to what others teach every day, sooner or later he will be played to death by the courtiers. I hope that Li Hong can be a good emperor, His Majesty has given him a good foundation, and now he can make a few mistakes while he is not on the throne, but when he is on the throne, it will hurt the bones of the Tang Dynasty to make mistakes again. ”

Princess Yuzhen and Doudou left after dark. Doudou hadn't seen Liu Hao for several days, and he had a lot to say in his heart, and the reunion of Princess Yuzhen and the Baguio sisters was even more inseparable. Baguio, who has never tasted family affection since he was a child, no longer has the wisdom of the past. On the one hand, she was worried about whether it would have any bad impact on Liu Hao, and she was infatuated with this feeling of family affection. It wasn't until Yu Zhengong got into the carriage that he parted his hands and said goodbye with tears.

At dinner, Aunt Gongsun first said: "That Princess Yuzhen seems to be very interesting to Lang Jun, Lang Jun's outer house?" ”

Liu Hao coughed twice: "What nonsense, people are princesses and celebrities of Taoism, you don't want to slander people's innocence." She and I have a pure relationship between men and women. ”

Baguio said with a smile at this time: "Even if Lang Jun is good with her, it's nothing, and the slave sisters won't blame you." ”

Liu Hao served a bowl of soup to Baguio: "Let's eat, you have two catties of tears shed today, and now you have to make fun of your own man when you wipe away your tears." ”

Baguio grinned: "Aren't people happy, they have been dependent on Lin Bing and them since they were children, and the slave family has never felt this way." Lang Jun, what if His Majesty knows about the existence of the slave family and wants to kill the slave family? ”

Liu Hao said while gnawing on the pig's trotters: "You just put 10,000 hearts, Li Longji is not so stupid." If he really forced me, then don't blame me for turning this Tang Dynasty upside down. In his eyes, everyone is a mustard, but in my eyes, you are my whole world. ”
