Lonely non-good minister

Situ pondered for a while: "Your Majesty said something inappropriate. The abilities of the two Highnesses are comparable. Now they are trying their best to win people around for the sake of superiority. If things go on like this, even if they ascend to the throne one day, I'm afraid it will be difficult to make political achievements." If it becomes a habit to cherish face, it will be manipulated by others. Moreover, your highnesses are all old, and their bodies are not as good as the emperor. No matter whether they can live as long as the emperor, judging from the current situation, they will not be too For outstanding political achievements, which family will win depends on whose children and grandchildren are reliable and outstanding."

"Needless to say, the East Palace has both civil and martial arts, and their abilities are not weak, but they are not too outstanding. As for the palace, the eldest son of the royal family is both civil and military, and his ability is the strongest. On the contrary, the bastard is mediocre." Emperor Taikang said to himself These grandchildren still know a lot.

Situ deliberately asked: "What do you think of the ninth son?"

"Huh? What? You think that kid is good?"

"I don't have a deep relationship with the princes of the palace, but the ninth son feels good to me. Although he is young, he is calm and reliable in his work. He has the shadow of the son when he was young. Given time, he must be a pillar."

Emperor Taikang smiled, and then waved his hand: "He is still young, although he has outstanding ability, how can he surpass his brothers? Besides, after today, I am afraid that the king of Zhongshan will not have a good face towards this child."

He didn't consider Song Yuan, so Situ didn't mention it: "Among the other young masters, Shi Ziye is the most capable. If the prince ascends to Datong, no one will be able to compete with Shi Ziye. In this way, Da Wei can also avoid it." The battle for the heir apparent, peace of mind in internal affairs."

Emperor Taikang was noncommittal to this statement. Judging from the abilities of his children and grandchildren, Song Chun took the lead, and indeed added a lot of advantages to King Zhongshan, but King Zhongshan himself
Situ continued: "As the emperor said, the reform of the farmland policy is a matter of benefiting the country and the people. If the two Highnesses are willing to consider the people and stop protecting the powerful, then the reform of the farmland policy will be much simpler and more convenient. This matter can also be regarded as the criterion of which of the two Highnesses is more able to benefit the people of Wei, on the contrary, if you are still concerned about whether those powerful people will have opinions on you on such a clear issue of right and wrong, then you cannot entrust it."

"Song Yuan is one of the people who brought up this matter, so I intend to let the Wangfu preside over this matter, and it is also a good time to test the minds of the prince and King Zhongshan. What do you think?"

Situ thought for a while: "I thought it was feasible, and I learned that Leping Juncheng invited many emperors and grandchildren to Leping, let them see the yield of sweet potatoes planted in Leping with their own eyes, promised to give them seeds and teach them to plant, in order I made a profit of 17 taels, and I plan to use the money to build water conservancy projects.”

"It's the money he raised by himself, so they can handle it themselves. Leping declares floods every year and asks for money. Although the court is not short of the 10,000+ taels of silver, it can't be wasted every year."

Situ nodded: "Leping's autumn harvest has also been reported, and the output has increased compared with the previous two years. Leping County Governor reported that he wants to plant wheat after the autumn harvest, so that the harvest can be harvested in April next year, so that the fields will not be left idle. As for the fertility of the soil, the gentleman who grows sweet potatoes in Leping County also has a solution, and after discussing with Situ Mansion, he thinks it is feasible."

"Since you think it's feasible, then do it. One day when the [-] mu of fertile land in Leping is abandoned, I will feel uncomfortable for a day." Emperor Taikang was a little tired. He couldn't sleep well in his old age, and he had to get up in the morning. His energy is really low.

Seeing this, Situ withdrew.

As Emperor Taikang expected, the next day, the impeachment papers of Song Yuan and Mu Lin were full of dragon cases, and Zou Shige counted them specially to determine the number of copies. Unfortunately, Emperor Taikang didn't read them. No, he doesn't care, he just waits for the attitude of the prince and King Zhongshan.

In the Eastern Palace, Song Shi was the one who stood by the Prince's side and gave advice. He was the most thoughtful, and the Prince trusted him very much. He handed over the records of the officials in the Eastern Palace to him, and he calmly trimmed the flowers and leaves of the potted plants.

"The land in Leping has been taken back, and the emperor's goal has been achieved. It's just a matter of cultivating it well. If there is something about the reform of the farm policy, it really won't stop." Just a cut: "Many people have been offended by cleaning up the rich gentry in Leping, and now they have offended many people by proposing the reform of the farmland policy. My fifth younger brother is blessed to have such a son."

He was so angry that he wished he could see King Zhongshan's ugly face immediately.

Song Shi said: "My child thought that what Song Yuan said was not nonsense. There were a lot of powerful and rich gentry in Wei Dynasty. These people not only monopolized official positions, but also monopolized the cultivation of fields. It will make the country's strength fade, and poverty will lead to changes. It seems that Hui Yumin has offended the powerful, isn't it also a good time to get rid of the powerful?
Being powerful and powerful is not a good thing for the emperor. Moreover, the emperor asked Huo Yingche to investigate the interest chain behind the rich gentry in Leping. His father's power must be severely damaged. It will take a lot of effort to keep those people, it is better to get rid of them than to hurt them. "

"You want me to cut off my own arm?" The prince was very surprised.

Song Shi shook his head: "Father thought about it carefully, you have been in the East Palace for many years, as long as the emperor does not abolish the crown prince, you are the next emperor of course, who can decide whether to abolish the crown prince? Of course it is the emperor, but now the emperor has to deal with it." These dignitaries have attacked, if the father tried to protect them, wouldn't it be against the emperor? How could the emperor be happy like this?

Furthermore, Wei's policy on farmland is extremely inapplicable. If you don't take advantage of this opportunity to make changes in one fell swoop, the rich and powerful will become more and more powerful, and the lifeline of Wei will be controlled by them. In this way, the emperor will have no There is nothing to say about rights, and the only way to get rid of these dignitaries and weaken their power is the best policy.

Moreover, as a prince, the father is not at fault for seeking benefits for the people. The King of Zhongshan is dedicated to fighting for power, and has never done anything for the benefit of the people except guarding the border. Now that Song Yuan has gone to Leping, the grain production has been brought up. It is a great achievement, and Leping Tianmu reform has also been proposed. If the experiment is successful in Leping, the people will definitely flock to Leping.

Although those dignitaries are powerful, they are just a mob. As the heir, how can the father be ruled by them?Taking advantage of this opportunity to get rid of them together will save future actions. It would be much better to be accused of crossing the river and demolishing bridges. Therefore, Hai'er thinks that the father should fully support Song Yuan, at least express his opinion to the emperor before King Zhongshan. "

The prince stared at the potted plant in front of him and thought for a long time, then put down the scissors: "After changing clothes, follow me into the palace."
