Chapter 170: Martial Arts
"Wang Bo, the prince told you about it?"
Li Zhi sat behind the case of the chief of the Zhenguan Palace, and the first sentence he just raised his head sounded in Li Xuan's ears like thunder.
Li Xuan immediately gave up his hand with some trepidation: "Yes, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince requested, and Weichen also agreed, but how the prince should be appointed depends on his ability and character."
"Hmm!" Li Zhi nodded, put the purple brush in his hand on the pen stand, and then looked at Li Xuan, his cold gaze gradually softened: "What happened back then, I guess you also have some guesses."
"Yes!" Li Xuan's throat twitched slightly, and at the same time said seriously: "Back then, Wang Bo Prince An was demoted from Chang'an because of his dedication to "Cockfighting Fu" and provoking the affection of the heavenly family."
"Don't be so cautious, it's the "Ying Wang Chicken Article"." Li Zhi's eyes instantly turned cold.
Li Xuan immediately nodded and said: "That's true, since ancient times, the text has often been used to denounce the unsubordinate and expose the guilty...... He is proud of his talents, and he deserves to be tempered in this way."
"You're wrong." Li Zhi suddenly spoke, shook his head, and said, "The name of this article is given by Xian'er."
Li Xuan's eyes were stunned for a moment, and the remorseful look on Li Xian's face suddenly appeared in his mind, and he instantly came back to his senses and said, "The prince knows the lesson."
"If it weren't for that, how would I have let him go to see Wang Zi'an secretly." Li Zhi sneered and waved his hand.
Everything in this palace, where there is a man's eye, what can hide from him.
He is the lord of this palace, the lord of this world.
Li Xuan stood respectfully in front of the table and did not speak, and then Li Zhi suddenly said with some interest: "Actually, my anger dissipated very early, otherwise, I would not have allowed him to participate in Xianheng's three-year system, but unfortunately, Wang Zi'an's luck was bad and he was framed."
Wang Bo's luck is really bad, when he was demoted to join the army, he was accused of hiding official slaves, and when the official messenger came to the door, it was found that the official slave had been killed, and that it was Wang Bo's residence.
"Wang Bo is a scholar, he has no power to restrain the chicken, and he has always demanded himself with Confucianism, how can he kill people easily, and he kills so neatly." Li Zhi sneered and said bluntly: "Although I didn't investigate it myself, I have also read the official document of the closing case, and there are strange things in it. However, it is a pity that Hongnong's assassination history still convicted him and submitted it to the Criminal Department, which even attached Wang Bo's confession, and in the end, even I could no longer do anything."
"It's just a trick." Li Xuan subconsciously said a word, but he immediately woke up and arched his hand, "The minister lost his words."
"It doesn't matter." Li Zhi waved his hand indifferently, then looked at Li Xuan, and said in a deep voice: "Twenty-seven Lang, listen to my words, don't trust others in the future, especially when you don't have to, give you a bunch of benefits that are difficult to refuse."
"Yes!" Li Xuan saluted seriously.
This is Li Zhi's view on the Wang Bo incident, and it also explains the truth of the matter.
At that time, Wang Bo was originally demoted to Shudi, but because he participated in the system, he rushed to Chang'an in advance, and before he participated in the system, someone recommended Hongnong to join the army.
Hongnong is very close to Chang'an, and it is too late to rush to Chang'an before the exam, and it is invited by friends, Wang Bo is happy to go, who knows......
Behind this case, there is a very special person who is manipulating everyone and so on, so that Li Zhi is not willing to turn against him because of a special task of Wang Bo.
His status is too high, and even Li Zhi is not easy to start.
However, Li Xuan believes that Li Zhi must not have done nothing.
With his character of retribution, although Wang Bo's grievances have not been avenged, he must have taken revenge on his behalf.
The whole world belongs to Li Zhi, he intends to use Wang Bo, but someone does it, although he can't deal with the person who designed to frame Wang Bo in this name, but Li Zhi wants to clean up a person, and there are countless reasons and excuses. c
Even if he took a left foot before entering the main hall, Li Zhi had a way to dismiss him little by little.
Just go back and investigate carefully, who this unlucky guy is, and everything will be clear.
Maybe from Wang Bo's hand, the people who appeared beside him, who were in high positions, or the children of people who were in high positions, and who were still embarrassed, were those people nine times out of ten.
In addition, looking back, Wang Bo is talented, but he doesn't know how to restrain, he is feared, and he is defenseless, so someone attacked him before he participated in the system, and he succeeded in one fell swoop, which is too embarrassing.
However, the most important reason for this is Li Xian.
After all, Wang Bo used to be his staff, and once Wang Bo passed the system, he would immediately regain Li Xian's attention.
Li Xuan's mind instantly flashed the figure of the martial queen, but then denied it.
Not Empress Wu.
At that time, it was Li Hong who was on the table, although Li Hong's physical discomfort was a long-term thing, but the Empress Wu was not at that time, so he would use this method to deal with a mere Wang Bo.
In other words, it is almost the same as a prime minister like Liu Renliang, and the Empress Wu will not be so tasteless, and she will not be that free.
That's the person next to Li Xian, and he is still by Li Xian's side, and he has been by Li Xian's side since a few years ago.
Li Xuan's brows suddenly tightened, thinking of Xue Yao before, Li Xuan had a very bad premonition.
"Xian'er is generous, he thinks more about the old people, the prince is by your side, let him follow him for more time, and if he can make great achievements in the future, I don't mind transferring him back to the court." Li Zhi looked at Li Xuan with a playful face.
"Your Majesty!" Li Xuan hurriedly gave up his hand, and said at the same time, "Your Majesty, now that the crown prince is newly established, Your Majesty may as well give grace outside the law."
"Huh?" Li Zhi frowned and looked at Li Xuan, Li Xuan stiffened his head and said in a deep voice: "Wang Zi'an's father, because of his crimes, was demoted to the Jiaozhi County Order, Wang Zi'an has been ashamed and self-reproachful for many years, and the minister asks His Majesty to extrajudicial mercy, transfer Wang Fu to Fu, Zhang, and Jianzhu Prefectures, find a remote county, and let him open the mountain to teach the people and rule for the saints."
Fu, Zhang, and Jianzhou are mountainous and numerous, and their people do not obey the indoctrination, and often roar up to attack the prefectures and counties, which is the worst place in the southeast.
Such places have never been the first choice for employment.
But even so, it is better than Wang Bo going to Jiaozhi to visit his father in the future and falling into the water and dying halfway.
However, if he is really transferred to Fu, Zhang, and Jianzhou, I am afraid that the famous Tengwang Pavilion will not be there in the future.
Li Zhi did not answer Li Xuan directly, but looked at Li Xuan as if he had an understanding: "King Nanchang, you seem to value Wang Bo very much."
"Yes!" Li Xuan recognized it categorically this time, and then said sincerely to Li Zhi: "Since Your Majesty ascended the throne, he has destroyed the Western Turks, leveled the soil and valleys, attacked the Khitan, exterminated Gaochang, exterminated Baekje and Goguryeo, and fought the Silla Wa Kingdom.
Speaking of this, Li Xuan paused slightly, and then said with some excitement: "Wang Bozhi, the prosperity of the world, when the world is born, there are few people who can compare with it, Yang Jiong, Luo Bin Wang, Lu Zhaolin, just a few people, if one day, Your Majesty will summon the four of them to your side, pitch up and talk, it will be a prosperous era in the literary world, I am afraid that Emperor Taizong will be resurrected, and I will be extremely envious of Your Majesty, the prosperous Tang Dynasty, should be in the hands of Your Majesty."
"Hahaha......" Li Zhi laughed heartily, and finally shook his head to look at Li Xuan: "Twenty-seven Lang, Twenty-seven Lang, I still know for the first time, you are flattering, and your level is far above others, hahaha!"
"What the courtiers say is the truth." Li Xuan's face was still solemn, and at the same time he said in a deep voice: "Even if it is Tubo, Your Majesty might as well summon the four of them and each write a letter to ask for Tibet, maybe you don't need Your Majesty's soldiers at all, and you can send Tubo Zampu to see his father!"
"Hahaha, okay, okay." Li Zhi waved his hand and motioned for Li Xuan not to say any more, he was about to burst out of breath with laughter.
Wang Fulai asked Li Zhi to pat him on the back, and Li Zhi's laughter gradually stopped: "The matter of Tubo, how can it be determined by a letter, you also know that the real decision of Tubo is the Qinling of its country, and the lord of Tubo is really angry, but it is good for him."
Well, that's what happened to Wang Bo for the time being."
Li Zhi's face instantly became serious: "You are going to the southeast, not only to govern Wuzhou, but also to observe the number of states along the road, land, fishery, commerce, taxes, and people's hearts. Over the years, the proportion of taxes in the southeast has become heavier and heavier in the world, and the household department estimates that in a few decades, the taxes in the southeast will even exceed the commercial taxes in the Western Regions, so you can take a good look at me."
"Whoa!" Li Xuan bowed his hand a little flustered, and said in a deep voice, "Brother obeys the order."
There are four important tax places in the Tang Dynasty.
Jiangnan Province in the Southeast, Jiannan Road in the Southwest, the Commercial Road in the Western Regions, the land of Guanlong and Heluo, and other prefectures and counties are much worse.
The military expenditure of the Tang Dynasty on the war in the Western Regions is flourishing day by day, but it can still be easily supported, all of which comes from the business road that makes the Tubo people extremely envious.
If the tax in the southeast is beginning to approach the commercial tax in the Western Regions, and there is even the possibility of surpassing it in the future, then the imperial court must start the layout as soon as possible.
Even if that day doesn't come until decades later, for these heads of the imperial court, they must start making arrangements now.
Li Xuan comes from the future, and naturally knows that the southeast tax revenue will even account for more than ninety percent of the entire world in the future.
So much so that the Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties all died here.
Therefore, the balance of taxation in the world must be adjusted, and the entire dynasty cannot walk on one leg with a limp.
"Every three days, you write a secret fold and send it to the East Palace, so that the prince can also study hard and know what the world in the southeast and a quarter of the southeast is like?"
Li Zhi glanced back: "Go, bring the things,"
