Chapter 218 Show Your Loyalty
When they heard this story by Zhao Xiaonian, all the three people present were stunned.
He Kuan, He Wenhua, Tang Wenli.
The three of them seemed to be stupid, and their eyes kept staring at the prince.
There are all kinds of things in the world, but today it is very strange! The prince actually told a very long story, and it was about the prince’s past.
The most important thing is that there are some things that cannot be said here! Especially the prince’s wife and the people ran to the Fifty Post Office to rob Yan Shuangjun.
All the people present were officials, and He Kuan was also a member of the cabinet. Naturally, he knew what happened a few years ago. Yan Bing, the son of Yan Bing, the Minister of Rites, was killed by bandits in the northwest by Wolongling bandits, and his niece Yan Shuangjun was abducted by bandits. Later, Liang Tonghui and Yan Bing jointly requested the emperor to allow the court to suppress bandits. Yan Bing also recommended his nephew Yan Hutong to suppress bandits in the northwest. The emperor originally wanted to approve the matter, but for some reason, he suddenly changed his words and issued a decree to Su Ren, scolding him for being unfavorable and asking him to suppress bandits immediately.
After that, the matter was left alone.
Having said that, the fierce game in the court was not clear in just a few words. Even because of this, Li Tong and Li Xiangye did not leave the palace for a day and a night. During this period, no one knew what he said to the emperor. However, the next day, the emperor took back his order at the court meeting and summoned the general who issued military talismans and changed it to issue an order. Yan Bing was in trouble for this matter, but the emperor said that he would give him a three-month leave and let him have a good rest.
After saying this, Yan Bing did not have the courage to get upset and gave in immediately.
Today, the prince said that this story was obviously impossible to make up. He told his own story himself, and this matter could match the original thing, so it would be almost impossible to be fake!
This is amazing!
As the old man in the cabinet, He Kuan still had the determination. After checking the prince's face, he nodded himself with an admirable nod. He closed his eyes to rest, as if he was waiting for the prince's examination of Tang Wenli.
However, his son He Wenhua's face looked a little ugly, and he always felt that this was a proposition. As the saying goes, exposing others but not the shortcomings, and this is the prince. Who has the courage to say bad things about him? It is because he did something illegal and disorderly. In the current situation, no minister has the courage to sue him. But today he actually revealed all the things he violated the laws and regulations back then. What should I say?
As the saying goes, being with the king is like being with a tiger. He is happy today and said something that ordinary people cannot listen to. He took a nap tomorrow and suddenly felt that this matter could not be known to others. Then he would be punished to death?
He Wenhua's face turned pale, and even reminded Tang Wenli, but he didn't know how to speak.
However, after hearing this, Tang Wenli frowned and thought for a while, then looked up at the prince again, and smiled and said, "Your Highness, I think that people regard food as the best way to live and work in peace and contentment, how can the world be peaceful? Throughout history, which dynasty has said that ploughing people have their own fields? No matter how big the way of the world is, is it better than the law of nature? As long as the people need fields, then we officials have to find ways to find fields for the people and let them plow fields! This is the top priority for peace in the world!"
“…”
“…”
This seems ordinary, but it is extremely profound. It does not offend others or provoke His Highness the Crown Prince. The key is...
"Why do you find land for the people? You shouldn't take the people to reclaim land and build land?"
Zhao Xiaonian asked again.
This time, even He Kuan's closed eyes gradually opened and he couldn't help but look at Tang Wenli.
He Wenhua immediately made his neck sweat so much that he was scared.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was indeed dissatisfied with his answer.
But at this moment, Tang Wenli smiled slightly and said, "Whoever harmed the people, then we should deal with him and not allow him to farm or plant trees. This is too strange. Huizen pleads with His Royal Highness to allow me to go on-site investigation!"
"Ah, Wenli, what are you talking nonsense!"
He heard him say this, He Wenhua's face changed. Such a thing offends people. You must know that although Liang Tonghui went down, the emperor did not investigate him. Moreover, Yan Bing is still in the court. If Tang Wenli investigates it, wouldn't it be publicly right to be against Yan Bing and against Liang Tonghui? Not to mention himself, even his father He Kuan doesn't have the courage to face them head-on, let alone how many officials Tang Wenli is?
However, he just yelled in a low voice, and his father turned around and glared at him, then lowered his head and stopped talking.
Zhao Xiaonian looked at Tang Wenli sideways, smiled, and then ignored him, and didn't know what he meant.
He Kuan frowned slightly, then clasped his fists and said, "The Ministry of Revenue is in charge of Tianshi's affairs. If you don't take the position and do not plan your affairs, you will not do your business. Wen Li is abrupt, so please forgive me!"
Shaking his head slightly, Zhao Xiaonian smiled faintly and said, "You are polite, Mr. He, you are right. If you are not in your position and do not plan your affairs, the land tax cannot be solved overnight. It is just that this year's winter will make it more difficult for the people. I also want to share the worries of my father and be grateful for the kindness of heaven and earth! It is really not good to be too radical!"
"Your Highness's Holy Spirit!"
After hearing this, Tang Wenli felt a little lonely. Unexpectedly, he showed his loyalty but did not receive a response from His Highness. At this moment, he seemed to have a feeling that he could see through it at a glance. He was not good at flattering, and he couldn't help but feel a little discouraged.
He lowered his head and clasped his fists, like a student who answered the wrong answer, both annoyed, regretful, and helpless.
However, He Kuan seemed to have no expression. He just looked at His Highness the Crown Prince and smiled slightly, and then said to He Wenhua and Tang Wenli: "Wenhua, Wenli, you go out first. I have a secret matter with His Highness the Crown Prince!"
The two of them hurriedly bowed, and then shouted together: "I will give up my humble position, and I will be blessed by Your Highness!"
Then the two slowly retreated.
Zhao Xiaonian turned his head and looked at Tang Wenli, and smiled with encouragement to him, which made Tang Wenli stunned, and then turned his eyes and retreated.
After they both withdrew, He Kuan touched his beard and started again: "Your Highness, the capital has been rioting in recent days, and some people are in panic. The dynasty meeting has also been cancelled. Now all the officials have left one after another and have made a lot of rumors. This is probably not a good thing!"
Zhao Xiaonian looked at the old man with a brick and nodded and admitted: "The thief's foundation is too deep, and it is not so easy to eradicate it in one go! So, there is nothing we can do about it!"
He Kuan shook his head and said, "Your Highness, if the capital is in chaos, the world will be in chaos. If it continues, there will be problems!"
He put one hand behind his back, stroked his beard and said, "Even if the situation is beneficial to us, the people feel panic all day long, which will cause panic among the people. If it continues and spreads, even if it is beneficial to us, this emotion will have a great impact when it spreads. Even if the officials and minor officials in those local areas will also think randomly, and then it will be out of control!"
"this……"
Mr. He suddenly said this, which made Zhao Xiaonian stunned.
"I'm afraid that someone will take the opportunity to cause trouble, which will cause trouble in the world. If the army is mobilized, the loss will inevitably increase. If there is any movement in Jiangnan, the consequences may be unimaginable!"
At this moment, Zhao Xiaonian was completely stunned.
