Chapter 288: I owe Jun Ye and Princess Jing a favor

Du Heng smiled slightly, without saying much.

After seeing Lord Liu leave, Du Heng considered that the two masters might still be waiting, and he didn't dare to delay any longer, so he quickly wrote the excerpt.

Three quarters in the morning.

The residence of the Four Princes.

Jun Ye chatted with the four princes and the three of them, making tea.

The four princes respectfully added tea to Jun Ye and Qian Lao.

Qian Lao looked at the pious and serious appearance of the four princes, and he was very pleased.

Jun Ye is a person from the rivers and lakes, and the four princes all attach so much importance and respect to it, and it will become a great cause in the future, and Jun Ye will definitely be reused.

More than half a month ago, after he was given death by the second prince, he was ready to return to the dust.

Unexpectedly, when he opened his eyes again, he actually saw the four princes!

For a moment, Qian Lao thought that the fourth prince was also dead, but after careful questioning, he learned that the people who saved him were Jun Ye and Princess Jing.

owes Jun Ye and Princess Jing a favor, plus he appeared in the Four Princes' Mansion, Qian Lao also figured it out with his toes, Jun Ye asked him to assist the Four Princes.

In the past, when he was on an errand in the second prince's mansion, the information collected by Qian Lao was that the fourth prince was wooden and did not like to compete for the limelight, and he was not valued by the princes and ministers on weekdays, whether it was between the princes or the court.

In the past, the second prince and the third prince and the seventh prince and the eighth prince fought fiercely.

As a result, Qian Lao also felt that the fourth prince was not like a person who could achieve great things.

But in the past half a month of getting along, Qian Lao found that the four princes were the best among these adult princes.

He is wise, intelligent, suspicious people do not need to be suspicious, he gives each subordinate the greatest power, let them do it, and secretly controls many departments with real power, but in the face he still does not fight or grab, no, no, like a transparent person.

Of course, there are actually disadvantages to being invisible and transparent for a long time.

For example, the emperor and the common people can't see how good the four princes are.

The four princes rescued Emperor Xiaoming before, and they also got Jun Ye's sentence "attack the heart first".

This strategy has to be said to be well used, and the four princes are currently in front of Emperor Xiaoming, and they have received more favor and attention than in the past few years.

What they have to discuss now is how to let the people see the four princes.

"As the clichΓ© goes, caring for people's livelihood is always the fastest way to enter the people's field of vision."

Qian Lao stroked the white beard on his chin, "In the past, the old man once proposed to the second prince to exempt the land from taxes, but the second prince felt that this method was too risky, and it would affect the interests of various families, so he politely refused. ”

The fourth prince thought seriously for a moment, and soon understood why the second prince refused in the first place.

"From the perspective of the second brother, this prince can also understand. The family is the group of people who own the most farmland in the entire Dragon Moon Country, and if it is said that the land tax is exempted, the family should be the first to raise their hands in favor. However, our family in the Dragon Moon Kingdom has so many fields, not all of which are cultivated by themselves, but rented to some farmers. In addition to collecting the rent of their fields, there is also half of the grain. The families can earn tens of thousands of taels every year just by rent, and there are hundreds of thousands of stone of grain. On top of that, the annual tax collected by the state will also give three components to the various families as a reward. A piece of land can be earned three times, and they will give up this interest if they are stupid. The second brother has no military power in his hands, what he needs is the support of various families. The interests of the family, the second brother will never move. ”

(The tax purpose of this article is not consistent with the historical tax use, it is purely the author's own contact with the following plot to make up nonsense, just take a look at the officials)

Qian Lao nodded and said with relief, "The fourth prince is right, the second prince really thought so at that time. ”

The four princes are really smart, and they can understand everything.

Qian Lao has assisted the second prince for so many years, so he naturally knows where the second prince's shortcomings are.

In addition to the fact that the second prince has no military power in his hands, the most important thing is the heart of the second prince, which is too selfish and vicious.

Although everyone says that he who accomplishes great things, he cannot be kind to a woman.

But if the king of a country does not have the compassion to empathize with the suffering of the common people, the country will soon perish.

Although the four princes are not particularly prominent in the court, in private, Qian Lao can observe that the four princes are ruthless and sympathetic.

Moreover, the four princes had the secret support of King Jing before, and now they have the support of Su Zheng.

To put it mildly, if the four princes want to rebel at this time, they can usurp the throne in an hour at most.

But to do that, whether it is unjustifiable or unjustifiable, and it will also bear the charge of killing his father.

The rest of the princes or kings with different surnames will have civil wars under the reputation of "Qing Jun's side".

Once a civil war breaks out in the Dragon Moon Country, the surrounding other countries will definitely not let go of this opportunity to attack the Dragon Moon Country, burns and loot, etc., it is the people of the Dragon Moon Country who suffer, and even the Dragon Moon Country is flattened by the enemy army, it is possible.

In order to be justified and to prevent the people from suffering great sins, everything needs to be considered in the long run.

Jun Ye didn't speak, just sipping the tea in his hand.

He will be sitting here tonight, in fact, he has been waiting for the results of Du Heng's observation of the celestial phenomena.

seemed to know that he was waiting for a hurry, and at this time, someone from the Four Princes' Mansion came to report that Du Heng had come.

The fourth prince hurriedly stood up and personally greeted Du Heng and invited him in.

After Du Heng arrived, Qian Lao stood up and saluted.

Du Heng glanced at Jun Ye, saluted him respectfully, and then greeted Qian Lao twice.

As for Jun Ye, he has been sitting on the side, drinking tea calmly.

Qian Lao has been here for half a month, and he understands a little. Jun Ye seems to be a person in the rivers and lakes, but the nobility on his body and the respect for him from the four princes are revealed, and Qian Lao also guessed that some of Jun Ye's identities are not simple.

But what is the specific identity of this person, what is the face under the golden phoenix-shaped mask, Qian Lao does not dare to guess.

More is better than less, anyway, the goal of both of them is to assist the four princes to ascend to the throne.

Jun Ye put down the teacup, and his voice was lazy, "How are the stars tonight?" ”

"Back to the king, the entire Qin Tianjian people have all observed and confirmed that there is no heavy rain in Kyoto, and there will be a drought period of about two months."

Jun Ye stood up and stood with his hands in his hands, "Whether it's a drought or a flood, it's right to stock up on water, food, medicinal herbs, and clean clothes first." Note that it is not allowed to ask people to buy from farmers' homes. ”

After leaving these words, Jun Ye got up and flew away.

Qian Lao left a word for Jun Ye, and he was used to the cool departure behavior.

The fourth prince gave a slight salute to the place where Jun Ye left, and then turned to look at Qian Lao.

"I don't know what Qian Lao thinks?"
