Wen Hu led the army back to the court, and Wen Yong personally took hundreds of civil and military officials to greet him outside the Chang'an Gate. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

After the huge ceremony, Wen Hu wrote three times in a row to ask for self-depreciation, but Wen Yong refused. During the fourth court meeting, after Wen Yong's repeated efforts to retain the Chinese protector and insist on returning to the government and degrading himself, Wen Yong could only agree to demote Wen Hu to the rank of general of the chariot and cavalry, and allow him to return home to recuperate.

Although Wen Hu does not ask about court affairs when he returns to politics, when he encounters a major decision, Wen Yong will definitely come to the door to ask for advice. This is not just a gesture to confuse him, in fact, aside from the dictatorship of the civil protector, his own political strategy and military are the best choices, and this all-rounder who combines military and political affairs is a treasure trove in itself. Since Wen Yong wants to eliminate Wen Hu, then his strengths must be absorbed, if he doesn't do as well as this old thief after replacing Wen Hu, then Wen Yong might as well be a puppet and die a good death.

Inside the Imperial Study

Wen Xin looked at Wen Yong, who had a calm face, and asked, "Wen Hu is back in power, Your Majesty doesn't seem to be happy?" ”

Wen Yong said coldly: "Military power is the foundation of power, Wen Hu seems to be in power, but he still holds on to military power, and I am always like a stalk in my throat." Let's not talk about this matter for the time being, how did Chen Shangle find out. ”

Wen Xin knelt on the ground: "The minister is incompetent, Chen Shangle committed suicide in prison, and his family is also missing in the mansion." ”

With a tap of his finger on the dragon case, Wen Yong's eyes flashed with anger: "The action is quite fast, have you found out who did it?" ”

Wen Xin lowered his head and said: "The minister went to Chen Shangle's house to check and found some residual bloodstains. Killing people in the prison can also silently wipe out his family, and there can be such a powerful person, the minister guesses that it must be done by Wen Hu. ”

As soon as Wen Hu came back, Chen Shangle's family was completely wiped out, and it looked like he did it, but Wen Yong didn't think so, "If you want to say that the murder case may be done by Wen Hu, but I always feel that Chen Shangle is not his person." ”

Regarding Wen Yong's judgment, Wen Xin did not intervene too much.

After thinking for a while, Wen Yong shouted outside the door: "Fu'an, go and prepare, I want to go out of the palace to step into the spring, you go and pick up the Wanyan girl from the Spring Moon Building." ”

After speaking, Wen Yong said to Wen Xin solemnly: "There is still something you need to do. ”

……

It has been a long time since spring, but Wen Yong has been recuperating from his injuries and busy with government affairs, so he has not had time to take a good look at the spring color of Chang'an City.

The essence of royal power is to exploit the world and feed itself, and a healthy royal power needs a good system to put shackles on exploitation, so as not to cause the result of killing chickens and taking eggs. Wen Yong always believes that only the people know the quality of a system. A good government may also become a bad government due to the impropriety of the executor, and if you sit in the court and take it for granted, I am afraid that you will soon be played as a monkey by the bureaucrats in the court who are bad to the bones. Therefore, Wen Yong needs to come out and walk from time to time, and now he can't go far to inspect the place, but he can go around at the foot of Chang'an.

Out of the palace gate, Wen Yong first went to Chunyue Tower to pick up Dugu Wanyan, and drove away with her in a car.

There was only one person with Fu'an today, and he had already sat outside with the coachman, and there were only Wen Yong and Dugu Wanyan in the carriage.

Outside the car window is the Fang Market of Chang'an Street, which Wen Yong specially instructed Fu'an to take this road. After Wen Yong ordered the centralization of business activities and the reduction of restrictions, the place was revitalized.

Commerce is a shortcut to the development of capitalist primitive accumulation, and Wen Yong also wants to quickly bring Da Zhou on the express train of capitalism, but the productive forces greatly suppress the accumulation of capital.

Before the development of productive forces, Wen Yong only dared to make some fine-tuning from the details, and did not dare to make drastic reforms. The existence is reasonable, the ancient heavy agriculture and suppression of business was the inevitable choice of the society at that time, in the ancient times when there was no informatization, everywhere in the trenches, businessmen went south and north, and it was a difficult problem to accurately receive their taxes, and even in the previous life, there were tax evasion and tax evasion in the developed science and technology, not to mention the present.

Wen Yong is sure that as long as there is a loophole, businessmen driven by interests will still evade taxes even if they face heavy fines, so once the shackles of commerce are lifted, the peasants will run to do business, and the country's tax revenue will not only not increase, but will also fall down in an uproar. And there is a shortage of labor in the field, and the productivity cannot be raised, who will take care of the people's stomachs? I'm afraid it won't be long before Da Zhou will be full of smoke.

Thinking that there was Hu in the north and Qi in the east peeping on the side, and Chen in the south of the Yangtze River was also about to move, Wen Yong couldn't help but sigh: "The foundation is still too thin to withstand the toss of reform." ”

Dugu Wanyan asked, "Wen Gongzi seems to have something on his mind?" ”

Lowering the curtain, Wen Yong smiled: "I suddenly thought of some little things, which made the girl smile." ”

Fluttershy, the maid on the side, complained angrily, "It's strange that you invite my young lady out and go to see the street scene alone." ”

Wen Yong said with a smile: "The people on this street are the epitome of the tens of millions of people in Da Zhou, so I took a second look." ”

Dugu Wanyan asked curiously: "Wen Gongzi didn't expect to care about the people so much, so I don't know if you can tell Wanyan, do you have any insights into the situation in the current dynasty?" ”

Wen Yong avoided answering, laughed at himself and said, "What opinion can I, a playboy, have on the court situation." ”

Dugu Wanyan's clear eyes stared at Wen Yong's eyes and said angrily: "Wanyan has a splendid heart and a hidden belly, why is Wanyan so wary of Wanyan and unwilling to teach." ”

If ordinary people faced Dugu Wanyan's demeanor, they would definitely want to pour out their hearts and lungs to her, but how could Wen Yong's ten-year polished mind be comparable to ordinary people, waving his hand and laughing: "Miss Wanyan really thinks highly of me." ”

In the face of Wen Yong's repeated evasions, Dugu Wanyan refused to give up, and continued to ask: "The people of Chang'an know that the Son of Heaven killed Lord Chen and rewarded the King of Jin, and now the King of Jin has also returned to the Son of Heaven, the prince is a noble person in the court, and the news is better than ordinary people, what is the relationship between the Son of Heaven and the King of Jin?" ”

Wen Yong was stunned when she heard this, Chen Shangle's matter was quite similar to Dugu Guixin's incident on the surface, and Dugu Wanyan uncharacteristically asked if it meant that she already knew her identity and wanted a showdown.

With a reluctant smile, Wen Yong said: "Who can say accurately about the affairs of the court, today it will be together because of profit, and tomorrow it will be dispersed because of disaster." ”

Dugu Wanyan smiled and asked: "Gongzi Gaojian, then according to your opinion, where is the benefit in the eyes of today's son, and where is the disaster?" ”

Wen Yong's brows furrowed, Dugu Wanyan's attitude was close to interrogation, and he wanted to explain to her clearly about Dugu Guixin, but he didn't know how to say it, and froze in place for a while.

"Childe, we're here."

Fu'an's voice came from outside the car, which was tantamount to Tianyin for Wen Yong.

"Miss Wanyan, let's get out of the car."

Wen Yong got out of the car and waited under the car, looking at Dugu Wanyan, who was slowly walking down from the mat with the support of the maid. Wen Yong said secretly: "I wanted to touch the bottom of this woman, but I didn't want to be so embarrassed by her." ”
