dream of red mansion

Chapter 823 Empress Wu

"My lord, please stay!"

After the court was over, Li Zhen called Jia Qing to stop.

Jia Qing turned around and saw Fang Shou and Li Zhen coming hand in hand. He saluted with Fang Shou first, and then asked Li Zhen, "What do you want to order?"

Li Zhen seemed a little displeased, and said: "Since the prince was entrusted by the late emperor and named as the auxiliary king, why did he not say a word about His Royal Highness in the court today? Could it be that it is as rumored in the market, that the prince is young and successful, You only know how to enjoy wealth and honor, and you don’t care about the court’s affairs?”

When Emperor Zhengqing died, King Qian had not yet been born.He also knew that Min Ning was not qualified enough and did not have the appearance of an emperor, so he appointed four cabinet ministers at the end of his life, plus Jia Qing and Wang Ziteng as auxiliary ministers. For military and state affairs, the emperor had to consult all auxiliary ministers.

This approach, first of all, is naturally to ensure the stability of the Great Chu Dynasty after his death, and secondly, the six people are either his confidantes, or people of high moral character, loyal to the emperor and patriotic, and can carry out his will.

Among them, the most important thing is Qianwang.

The title of Qianwang was naturally determined by Emperor Zhengqing long ago.The implication is also very straightforward, all things in the universe, dry for the sky, Kun for the earth, dry, the original meaning is the meaning of the monarch.

Emperor Zhengqing's will not only required the six of them to assist King Qian to ascend the throne smoothly, but also to make King Qian the only monarch between heaven and earth.

Therefore, the imperial court will make every effort to hold the Qianwang's first birthday celebration, and the imperial court will use this to tell the world that the Qianwang will be the justifiable and irreplaceable monarch of Great Chu in the future!
It is the common duty of the six of them to maintain the majesty of King Qian.

What Yu Shuyang did, although reasonable and desirable, has actually violated the majesty of King Qian.

Among the six people, Jia Qing was actually the one who received the most favor from Emperor Zhengqing, but Jia Qing was watching from the sidelines at this time, no wonder Li Zhen was dissatisfied.

"The Grand Tutor misunderstood, the Grand Tutor is the elder of the three dynasties, with high morals and high prestige, with the Grand Tutor around, there is no need for students to talk about these things.

In addition, the students are young after all, so they should listen more and talk less in the court, and study the way of governing the country seriously, so as not to hinder the country's plans. "

Jia Qing said sincerely.

Li Zhen snorted, and said: "I think the lord is just cherishing his life, and deliberately pushed us old guys to come out to fight."

Jia Qing quickly shook his head and waved his hands: "Students have absolutely no such intentions."

Li Zhen's complexion was a bit dark, but Fang Shou next to him looked at Jia Qing with a smile on his face, as if he was very satisfied.Seeing this, Li Zhen also laughed. Jia Qing is a respected person, but he always practiced discipleship in front of him, and his behavior and words were respectful and polite, which also made him very satisfied.

However, he said solemnly: "It is a good thing to cherish one's body, and it can also avoid the crime of being more beautiful than the forest. If the prince can always maintain the current state of mind, it is also a good thing.

But since the old man and the prince can be regarded as having a master-student friendship, I also want to ask the prince to remember a sentence:

It is not the way of a gentleman to do great things and cherish one's life, and to see small gains and hope for righteousness. "

After finishing speaking, Li Zhen stared at Jia Qing with piercing eyes.Jia Qing's expression remained unchanged, he only bowed to accept it, and said: "Thank you for your teaching, the students must keep it in mind."

Seeing this, Li Zhen was a little disappointed, and said: "Okay, brother Shouwang is a man of high morals, and the prince has learned the truth. I don't need to talk about these truths. The old man actually stopped the prince to say that the treasury is short of money, and the old man knows The prince is very insightful about the way of economy, and I want to ask him what he thinks."

As soon as Jia Qing heard it, he knew that old man Li was playing with his own ideas again.

"Well, Mr. Taifu should probably ask the Ministry of Accounting. There are so many smart and capable adults in the Ministry of Accounting. If they don't have any good ideas, how can students have them?"

"My lord, you don't need to be modest, I still remember the policy statement that your lord made when he participated in the autumn examination, saying that the way to make the country rich lies in 'enhancing agriculture and emphasizing commerce', the old man deeply agrees with the views expressed in it.

The country has been troubled by internal and external troubles in recent years, and now it has finally settled down. It is the time for the whole country to be in great order, and it is also the time for us to display our ambitions and benefit the people of the world.

Therefore, the old man wants to invite the prince to come out of the mountain and lead the household department to gradually spread this idea to the world, establish a new tax system, enrich the country and the people, and lay the foundation of the great Chu forever..."

As Li Zhen spoke, her expression became excited.Having been an official for decades, he knows very well that the way to govern the country is first of all a word of money.

Once the problem of money is solved, many things can be easily solved.

It's not that Li Zhen thinks that Jia Qing alone can solve this problem for Da Chu, but that he thinks he can try it.Now that the government is stable, it is time for the new law to be introduced. If Da Chu's rule of the people and the country can be raised to a higher level in his lifetime, he will not be worthy of his fate.

Facing Li Zhen with burning eyes, Jia Qing didn't know how to respond. This was not the first time Li Zhen mentioned this to Jia Qing.

To be honest, anyone who knows a thing or two about the modern taxation system will feel that there are many unreasonable things when they look at the ancient taxation system.At the beginning, he was considered young and energetic, and he wanted to express his views and get a good ranking, so he expressed his thoughts, not wanting to coincide with Li Zhen.

He understood what Li Zhen meant. If this matter is done, it will not be done in a short time. It will take at least several years or even ten years to achieve initial results.

Jia Qing is the most suitable person to take the lead.

But Jia Qing felt that it was still too early.

Now the court situation seems to be stable, but as long as Qian Wang has not sat in the Dragon Court for a day, Da Chu's hidden worries will not be relieved for a day.

He doesn't want to be too distracted.

Too much distraction can easily reveal flaws.

Although there are many unreasonable tax systems in Dachu, isn't there a saying that "existence is reasonable"?If this matter is started, I don't know how many people's interests will be triggered in an instant, and how many backlashes will be caused.

Of course, with his current position, he is not afraid, but he wants to seek stability.

He is not yet 20 years old, and the other five of the six auxiliary ministers are at least 40 years older than him.They are no match for Jia Qing.If this continues, every day that passes, Jia Qing's power will be stabilized by one day.

Why bother to involve yourself in the big whirlpool?

It's past the time for him to gain wealth with his life, and with his existing cards, it is already enough to crush.

Jia Qing was talking, when the eunuchs ran over one by one, saluted the three of Jia Qing, and said to Jia Qing: "Fu Cheng Wang, the Empress Dowager summoned me."

When Jia Qing heard this, he immediately said to Li Zhen: "The teacher's words, let the students think about it again, and the students leave first."

After speaking, he followed the eunuch.

Fang Shoudao: "Old Duke Ming, why bother to force him? Since Duke Ming knows that he has a unique position, he doesn't know how many eyes are staring at him. It is in his best interest to do so now."

Li Zhen said: "Brother Shouwang, I know you love my disciple. But you and I have already passed the ages, and all officials will respect him in the future. If we don't practice more, how can we rest assured...

What's more, the affairs of the world should not only look at the pros and cons, but also seek the well-being of the living people and create peace plans for the eternal world!
If his talents and insights cannot be used by the country as soon as possible, it will be a loss to the great Chu and a loss to the people of the world. "

Fang Shou sighed, what Li Zhen said was the righteousness of the family and the country, he couldn't refute it.

……

"Queen, is this concubine ugly..."

"Why did you say that suddenly?"

"Queen, just tell the concubine, is the concubine really ugly?"

"Hehe, where, we Ziyi are so beautiful and cute, how can we be ugly."

"But, since this is the case, why does the emperor not like concubines? The emperor seldom comes to the Kunning Palace where the concubines live, and every time he just sits and leaves..."

As the eunuch came to Fengzao Palace, before entering the hall, he heard a conversation, the voices of both sides, one was quiet and quiet, the other was crisp and light, with a slight childlike voice.

"Fucheng King has arrived~"

Following the eunuch's notification, Jia Qing stepped into the Hall of Virtue and Virtue, and Yuan Chun, who was dressed in a leisurely phoenix robe, sat on the kang face to face, and beside her stood a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl in similar dress.

"Chen Jia Qing, I have met the Empress Dowager, I have seen the Empress Dowager."

This girl is the current empress, and she is the granddaughter of Wu Wenzheng, the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, whom the imperial court proposed for him to marry after Min Ning ascended the throne.

Jia Qing had only seen it from a distance before, but today is the first time she has seen it up close. She is a beautiful little girl, no wonder she was chosen as the queen.

But thinking of what he heard outside, Jia Qing couldn't help but smile again.

Yuan Chun was very happy to see Jia Qing, and said to Empress Wu: "You go back first, the Ai family has a few words to ask King Fucheng."

"Yes, the concubine is retiring."

Empress Wu said goodbye and went out, and then took another look at Jia Qing.

This famous Fucheng King is indeed as rumored, so good-looking...
