Chapter 363: Comparison
On the second day, Xiao Huai got up early. Tang Shuyi was so sleepy that her eyes didn't open. Xiao Huai cleaned up and tucked the quilt for her before leaving.
Riding to the palace, as usual, there were already many officials waiting at the palace gate. The difference is that today he dismounted, and the officials in front of him took the initiative to give him a way.
However, as usual, he greeted the officials he knew well, and then waited until the palace door opened, and then walked in with everyone. When he arrived outside the Jinluan Palace, he saw a young man dressed in a prince's python robe, standing there.
Looking at him from a distance, his whole person is a little thin, but the stability on his body has not diminished at all. After all the ministers saw it, they couldn't help but admire Xiao Huai in their hearts, what a discerning eye! Who would have thought that the prince of the cold palace back then would become what he is now.
And Tang Shubai and Qi Liangsheng, who know the inside story, are admiring Tang Shuyi in their hearts, she is not only discerning, but also very good at teaching. Although Li Jingyi also worshipped Fang Daru as his teacher, he learned more from Tang Shuyi.
Qi Liangsheng sighed in his heart, she was the biggest regret in his life.
"Prince Kang."
"Prince Kang."
.......
The ministers walked over and saluted Li Jingyi, and Li Jingyi respectfully returned the salute to them, neither flattering nor alienating, advancing and retreating properly, which once again impressed the ministers.
In the end, Li Jingyi walked to Xiao Huai's side and followed him into the Jinluan Palace. After they all stood up, they waited for a while before they saw Jiao Kangsheng come out, stood on it and said, "The emperor is unwell today. ”
"This official heard that the emperor is unconscious, isn't that so?" The queen's eldest brother, Wu Jingwei, stepped forward and said.
Jiao Kangsheng had a difficult look on his face, but he still said, "Yes." ”
"The country can't be without a king for a day, and the emperor is unconscious, so the three princes should be allowed to supervise the country." Wu Jingwei said.
At this time, Qi Liangsheng came out and said: "The country cannot be without a monarch for a day, but the monarch must also have the talents of the monarch, otherwise the country will be in chaos." ”
"What do you mean by this, Lord Qi?" Wu Jingwei said: "The third prince has been familiar with poetry and books since he was a child, and he does things in a calm and orderly manner, so why don't you have talent?" ”
Qi Liangsheng smiled, looked at the third prince and asked, "Your Highness, what do you say is the most important thing for our Daqian to do now?" ”
The third prince was suddenly named, and he was a little flustered. He glanced at Wu Jingwei, but Wu Jingwei was very dissatisfied with his performance, and his face was naturally not good-looking.
The third prince became even more nervous, and he stammered, "Father.... My father was unwell and couldn't.... If you can't preside over the government, someone should preside over the government. ”
Qi Liangsheng nodded after hearing this, and then he bowed his hand to Li Jingyi and said, "His Royal Highness Prince Kang, what do you say is the most important thing for me to do now?" ”
Qi Liangsheng hadn't told him this question before, but now that he was asked, Li Jingyi was also a little nervous. However, his face was very calm, and after thinking for a while, he said: "Although the emperor's uncle cannot preside over the government, my great external troubles have been eliminated, and the four seas have been peaceful. It is time for you to do your part and unite as one. ”
"Humph!" Wu Jingwei snorted heavily, "It's just that everyone has their own duties, but there must be someone in charge." ”
"The lower officials now have something to do." Tang Shubai gave up his hand to the three princes, "There are officials below who report that the land in many places of my Daqian is barren, but many people have no fields to plant, what should I do?" ”
The third prince was stunned by the question, he thought for a while and said, "That... Then sell the land to them, and the court can earn more. ”
"But the people have no money in their hands to buy land." Tang Shubai said.
"That's... Then sell the land to the landlord merchant. The Third Prince said.
Tang Shubai: "But it is difficult to reclaim barren land, and landlords and merchants are not willing to buy it. ”
The Third Prince: "That... Then what do you say to do, if you ministers are to solve the problem. ”
Tang Shubai nodded, "What His Highness said is true." ”
The third prince breathed a sigh of relief when he heard him say this. But at this time, Tang Shubai turned to Li Jingyi and asked, "How does His Royal Highness Prince Kang think this matter should be resolved?" ”
Li Jingyi thought for a while and said, "The people of Daqian should be allowed to have their fields. ”
His words quieted down the court, and Lord Zhang, the great farmer, stepped forward and asked, "How to let the people have their fields, can Your Highness explain it in detail?" ”
"The fields are barren and the people have no fields, which is a waste of land and a waste of manpower. It is possible for farmers to reclaim wasteland, and the tax burden of wasteland will not be collected in the past few years......"
The cultivator has his land, in fact, Tang Shuyi told him, but at that time, Tang Shuyi only made a general idea, and Li Jingyi thought about this issue carefully after he went back. So now it's pretty smooth.
After he finished speaking, there was a lot of discussion in the court. The method that Li Jingyi said was not only unprecedented, but also never used in previous dynasties. Because the land was either in the hands of the imperial court or in the hands of the squire landlords.
Even if there is a large area of wasteland, the imperial court has no policy for the people to reclaim it.
And the people of the third prince and the queen's faction have very bad looks. They didn't expect that today, Qi Liangsheng would let the third prince compete with Li Jingyi in public.
When everyone was almost finished, Xiao Huai said: "His Royal Highness Prince Kang is right, although the emperor is unwell, there is no way to preside over the government. At this time, we should unite as one, perform our duties, and if there is a matter that needs to be decided, let the ministers discuss it together. ”
"Yes, that's what Dingguo Gong said."
"That's how it should be."
……
Xiao Huai did not seize power and did not weaken the rights of any party, and these ministers were naturally willing to agree.
At this time, Xiao Huai said again: "I see that Prince Kang is witty and calm, and he has studied people's livelihood quite a lot. ”
"Nature." Qi Liangsheng spoke first, and several other ministers also chimed in. is still the same sentence, although Xiao Huai controls the palace and the capital, he obviously has no intention of controlling the government.
As for whether Prince Kang will ascend the throne or the three princes will ascend the throne in the future, it depends on their respective abilities.
Of course, there are also those who want to follow the dragon's merits.
