Dou Dexuan's effect was very high, and in the afternoon, Li Hong was listening to Zhao Hong's skirt playing the piano in Tangyuan, so he ordered Liu Qixian, a member of the household department, to send the accounts to the East Palace. Li Hong, who was admiring the sound of Zhao Hong's skirt and piano, didn't want to see this official who came from the household department to deliver the accounts, but when Yan Zhuang said that this household member who came to deliver the accounts was the son of Liu Xiangdao, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites who had just been dismissed, he decided to meet him, so he asked Yan Zhuang to lead Liu Qixian to Tangyuan.

Liu Qixian followed Yan Zhuang to Tangyuan, and saw His Royal Highness the Prince lying on a bed in the pavilion, covered with a mink fur brocade quilt, holding a stove in his arms, and drinking tea, and a woman who was eighteen years old, with a bewitching and charming appearance was sitting in front of the prince not far from the piano, Liu Qixian's expression was a little trance, people said that the prince was weak, so he didn't like the sound of silk and bamboo, but what he saw in front of him today subverted the rumors he heard about the prince in the East Palace.

"You are Liu Qixian, a member of the household department?" Just when Liu Qixian was stunned, Li Hong asked lazily. Liu Qixian immediately came back to his senses and hurriedly took two steps forward to the pavilion, bowed to Li Hong and saluted, "Liu Qixian, a member of the ministry, see His Highness!" ”

"No need to be polite!" Li Hong said lightly, "Are you familiar with the accounts sent this time?" ”

"Back to Your Highness, I am very familiar with it, because these accounts have been calculated by the hands of the ministers." Liu Qixian said confidently. Being able to get the appreciation of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for this, Liu Qixian didn't want to miss such a good opportunity.

It's just that after Li Hong heard Liu Qixian's answer, a haze flashed in his eyes, and then he asked quietly, "You have been in charge of the accounting of tax accounts for the past two years?" ”

Liu Qixian replied respectfully, "Yes." ”

Li Hong was silent!

Because he suddenly had a terrible guess in his heart, if there was really a problem with the taxes of the eastern and western cities, then as the outer lang of the household department responsible for accounting accounts, Liu Qixian would definitely be inseparable, and Liu Qixian was the son of Liu Xiangdao, does this mean that Liu Xiangdao was also involved? Taking a step back, even if Liu Xiangdao was not involved, but Liu Qixian had a problem, could Liu Xiangdao, as a father, stay out of the matter? Liu Xiangdao is a six-part scholar, and if someone wants to deal with Liu Xiangdao through Liu Qixian, then this person is no longer good, and his official position should be at the same level or higher than Liu Xiangdao.

It's just that the taxes in the east and west cities are not much, and there is even less money to embezzle from here.

Could it be that the tax problem in the east and west of Chang'an is only the tip of the iceberg of Datang's tax revenue, and the real problem is the tax paid by Datang in various places?

Thinking of this, Li Hong himself couldn't help but tremble, because he knew that a person's ability was limited, and it was impossible for him to have the right to get involved in Datang's taxes.

If that's the case, then the problem is in trouble.

Because with his current ability, it is not a problem to check one or two people, but it is a bit powerless to check a few senior officials with more than three grades, or to check an interest group.

Besides, if there is really such an interest group that is involved in the tax of the Tang Dynasty, their power in the court will be very strong, and even if he writes to Gaozong and asks Dali Temple and the Criminal Department to investigate, it is estimated that the resistance is not small, and with their power, even if it is investigated, it may not be able to find out clearly.

Thinking of this, Li Hong's thoughts suddenly became a little confused.

He tried his best to avoid his speculation, but it backfired, and the more he didn't believe that anyone was involved in Datang's taxes, the more this problem was magnified in his mind.

"Zheng-" At this moment, Zhao Hongskirt's "Yangchun White Snow" played the ** part, Li Hong was suddenly sobered up a lot by the sound of the qin, he immediately retracted his chaotic thoughts just now, and confirmed to Liu Qixian again, "Did Dou Xiang order you to send it over?" ”

Since Dou Dexuan is the head of the household department, and he asked Liu Qixian to send the accounts to the East Palace, Li Hong can't help but suspect him among the people who are involved in the Tang Dynasty's taxes, and he is still a servant of the door, a veritable prime minister, absolutely qualified and justified to deal with Liu Xiangdao, and has the right and ability to get involved in the Tang Dynasty's taxes.

"Yes." Liu Qixian was a little puzzled why His Royal Highness the Crown Prince asked this, but he still replied truthfully, "Dou Xiang sent someone over in the morning to inform Weichen to send the accounts to the East Palace, but the accounts are a bit cumbersome, and Weichen has only sorted out the things His Highness wants until now." ”

Li Hong got the answer, so he was not interested in asking Liu Qixian again, so he said lightly, "Okay, you go down!" ”

"No!" Liu Qixian didn't know why His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, who was still in high spirits just now, had become so gloomy in an instant? However, he didn't dare to ask, so he could only bow down and carefully exit the Tang Garden.

At this time, Zhao Hongskirt's "Yangchun White Snow" had already played the last note, only to hear a clear sound of "Zheng", the sound of the piano stopped abruptly, and the song was played.

In an instant, the pavilion became silent for a moment, and only the whistling of the north wind could be heard.

His Royal Highness Prince Yan Zhuang didn't let Zhao Hongchuan continue to play the tune, so he took the opportunity to step forward and whisper in Li Hong's ear, "Your Highness, Di Renjie has arrived in Chang'an City, I don't know when he will come to see you?" ”

"So soon?" Hearing that Di Renjie, who he had been looking forward to for a long time, finally arrived at Chang'an City today, Li Hong's heart was somewhat comforted, and he pondered for a moment, and then said with anticipation, "Hmm! Then let him come over at night! Lone was also trying to have a good chat with him. ”

If it is really as Li Hong guessed, someone has been involved in the taxes of the Tang Dynasty over the years, and he wants to investigate this case under the pressure of this big force, it is only Di Renjie.

"Wechen is going to convey His Highness's meaning." Yan Zhuang said, just about to leave, but Li Hong suddenly said, "Slow! ”

Yan Zhuang stopped and asked in a low voice, "What else does Your Highness command?" ”

Li Hong pondered for a moment and said, "In the evening, you can ask Zhang Cambodia and Li Qiao to come over too!" ”

"No!" Yan Zhuang bowed down to receive the order and left Tangyuan.

The north wind blew again, whistling across the pavilion. There were only two people left in the Tang Garden, Li Hong and Zhao Hongskirt, but at this time, Li Hong was no longer in the mood to listen to Zhao Hongskirt playing the piano, so he said in a flat tone, "You play the piano well, but that's the end of today!" You can go down! ”

Zhao Hongskirt was not used to serving Li Hong, so she was slightly stunned, and was about to get up, but Li Hong said again, "Remember to come back at night, I want to meet guests in Tangyuan, you can play the piano for us!" ”

"No!" Zhao Hong's skirt stopped talking, then got up and left!

Li Hong stared at the back of Zhao Hong's skirt leaving, and was silent for a long time, and such a sentence suddenly came to his mind: Prepare a hundred coffins, give ninety-nine to corrupt officials, and keep one for himself.

ps: The writing is here, the third child will tell you about it!

First, the speed at which the third child writes the book is very slow, and the speed of this "Daojun" has dropped to 700 to 1,000 words, and a 3,000-word chapter takes about three hours, so please understand me in terms of updates, and I will try my best to increase my speed.

Second, the results of this book are still lower than I expected, so I'm a little disappointed now. I'm thinking that if you have any ideas and suggestions, you can tell me in the book review area, but I just hope that you can support the third child and the book "Daojun".
