In the East Palace of the Prince of Xishu, according to the rules of the past, people should have prepared refreshments and sent them to the prince who was doing his homework in the study. Since his master entered the East Palace by the grace of the saint, he has not seen the prince relax easily, looking at the approval sent by the palace and the reports from all over the country, often in the second half of the night without rest.

After watching it for a long time, people will secretly think about it, and they all say how this beauty is, but this sin is indeed not something that ordinary people can bear. Just be honest and be a subordinate, eating, drinking, wearing and living, isn't it also very good.

Today is not the same as in the past, the prince and others came out of the study after sending letters from the palace and did not go back, and a message was passed to the kitchen at noon, saying that today's meal did not need to be delivered.

It must have been the crown prince who went out. The old man who has been in the mansion for the longest time is very experienced, and it must be that the master is not in the mansion.

There is a small temple on the top of the hill in the western suburbs of the capital, and the bluestone green shade monk speaks ethereally, which is a rare secluded place in the capital of Xishu.

The prince who was not in the palace was in the pavilion behind the temple at the moment, and he had been in the dark and boring study for a long time, and it was difficult to breathe fresh air, and the prince's face looked extremely energetic.

"It's a pity that His Royal Highness didn't see it with his own eyes this morning, Jing Yijing and Zhuge Jin returned to Beijing to report on their work, and the thirteen policies of business power planned by the Eastern Emperor Taiyi have finally seen how effective they have been after several years of implementation. ”

Although it is still humid in the mountains at noon, the stone table in front of the crown prince Liang Ming is still obviously damp, and a small pool of dew can still be gathered by swiping his fingers on the clean tabletop, and the cold air penetrates from the fingertips, making people want to wrap the brocade robe on their bodies.

"Oh, if it weren't for the fact that I would have gone to avoid suspicion of today's morning dynasty, it seems that the two adults came back from watching a good show. ”

Donghuang Liang Ming gently shook off the dew on his fingertips, and then wiped it dry on the front hem without a trace.

"Lord Wang is better at talking than I am, so it's really nice to let Lord Wang talk to His Highness in detail. ”

It was none other than Fan Sili's father who provoked provocation when Mu Sanqian and his party first joined the Sword Sect, Fan Shu, the secretary of the military department.

"Your Royal Highness still remembers how the Eastern Emperor Taiyi generously spoke to the emperor in front of the emperor, and how he confidently guaranteed the emperor, how his thirteen strategies of business power will change the business and political dilemma of Xishu, and how will our Xishu national strength go further. ”

"How could you forget. The seventh in front of the palace really scared our brothers. Since he was a child, he has been excluded by other brothers, and he has been stubborn and introverted since he was a child, really like a stone in a thatched house, although he has an extraordinary talent because of his kendo, but in the eyes of us people, he is still the old seven who will not cry even if his head is broken by us. It wasn't until he came down from the mountain and went into the temple to listen, and then he slowly listened to him more often on some inconspicuous errands. In the end, I saw him make a generous statement in front of his father, especially the thirteen strategies of business power, all of which were aimed at the ills of Xishu, which was really an earth-shattering change. ”

"Yes, the ministers didn't want him to behave like this. But those impassioned words now seem to have become a joke. Needless to say, even in some places where we don't have enough control, the implementation of business policies is also difficult, and none of the local squires are deeply rooted, and it is so simple to make ideas from them. Gufang, Pimu, Linzhao and other places forcibly promoted business policies, but they made a lot of complaints, and thanks to Zhuge Jin, he did have a few brushes, so he could calm down the people's grievances under the poor situation. Otherwise, in my opinion, let alone five or six years, I am afraid that this business policy will not be able to be pushed forward for a year and a half. ”

Speaking of this, Wang Jiang seemed to be extremely proud, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but laugh. In fact, he did contribute a lot to this, and the Hubu Shangshu was already in close contact with local officials, and the implementation of the policy of discussing power under his intentional or unintentional instructions was indeed greatly resisted.

Under the resistance, there is naturally no effect, so Zhuge Jin will not have anything good to say when he returns to Beijing to report on his work, and every time he says a word, he sees that the emperor's face is ugly, and finally he almost flipped the table angrily. If it weren't for the hard work of Donghuang Taiyi patrolling the border before, and the fact that he was presiding over the trial in the Sword Sect at the moment, I'm afraid that the emperor would have scolded Donghuang Taiyi a long time ago.

"Shang Quance is extremely important in Lao Qi's political achievements, he failed to do a good job but wasted manpower and material resources, compared to the two adults behind the scenes, they also contributed a lot. ”

"Wherever and wherever it is, it is our duty to share the worries of His Highness. ”

Fan Qu was listening to the excitement on the sidelines, and the prince praised him almost immediately, and said with a smile that they should do it.

Wang Jiang is a human spirit in the officialdom in the end, and he knows the words and deeds of others, especially the master, and even the tone of his speech, although the prince seems to be praising him, but His Royal Highness's tone is obviously not happy from the heart.

"Actually, Lao Qi's business policy was placed on the table in my study, and when it was first delivered, the paper was brand new, and even the ink written on it didn't seem to have dried. Over the years, the business policy has been about to be ruined. Every time I look at it, I think, who wrote such a thing for Lao Qi, why didn't that person help me do things? You should also be familiar with what is written on it, let me ask the two adults, which one of the above terms and conditions does not directly refer to the ills accumulated by our Xishu for many years?"

"It's-"

As soon as the Eastern Emperor Liang Ming changed his words, Wang Jiang and Fan Qu looked at each other, and beads of sweat appeared on the foreheads of the two people on the mountain who were quite cold.

"In fact, the two adults also know very well in their hearts, this business policy is indeed a good thing for the benefit of the country and the people. ”

Wang Jiang and Fan Qu didn't know what the prince meant for a while, so they had to lower their heads and dare not speak easily.

"But it's not good for everyone. For example, the opening of border checkpoints to reduce commercial taxes is convenient for businessmen, but the small soldiers stationed at the border one by one will not be able to fill their stomachs.

"Of course, it's important to be safe. ”

The prince paused and continued, as if he were asking himself a question.

"The rest of the Xishu states are all like this, those who have already gained power, if you move their interests, they will be even more terrible. This is where Lao Qi is not thoughtful. ”

"It's still Your Highness who is far-sighted. ”

It was only now that the king general said a word tremblingly.

"If you are a farmer, you will be a farmer, if you are a rich businessman, if you become an official, you will honestly run errands for the emperor, isn't it very good. Old Seven, he's still too young, it's a good thing to have momentum, but if you use it in the wrong place, it's dangerous, it's dangerous for me and for you. ”

Today's prince seems to be different from the past, and he says many things that he can't hear on a daily basis.

"That position has to be mine, and it can only be mine. ”

This last sentence was already faint, and the king looked at the prince quietly, and then noticed that the young man who he would see almost all day was a little strange at the moment, with a trace of madness on his fair face, and a little terrifying hideousness in his eyes.

Fierce appearance.

Fan Qu on the side couldn't help but think of two words.

"Your Highness, there is one more thing going up today. ”

The king arched his hand, and remembered something.

"My lord, please. ”

The prince's emotions came and went quickly, and he immediately sat at the table with a gentle and elegant appearance.

"Zhenyuan general Gao Xianshi sent his own son, and the little general Gao Xian returned to Beijing to watch the ceremony on his behalf. Gao Xianshi's military achievements and courage in the two dynasties are naturally loyal to His Majesty the Emperor, but his position between His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and several other princes is a little ambiguous. The Gao family has troops outside, and it can be said that there are few real power figures in Western Shu, and the lower officials are wondering if they should wait for General Gao's son to go to Beijing and make friends in person. If there is such a help from the Gao family, His Royal Highness will be even more stable in the future. ”

"Gao Xianshi has always been disgusted with fighting for power and deceit, so he will guard the border all these years, and now Gao Xianshi is old, and his father has made several orders for him to return to Beijing to retire for the rest of his life, and I am afraid that he does not want to mix in the palace at all. It would be best if you could win his support, even if you can't believe that with his cunning, you won't be on the wrong side. ”

"Your Highness said yes. ”

The king and Fan were on his side, and it seemed that he was going to do everything in his power to show loyalty to the crown prince.

"Gao Xian, I heard that this little general is the treasure of Gao Xianshi's old man, I don't know how much planning and backbone a general can have compared with Gao Lao General. ”
