After hearing this, the eldest grandson Wuji was very uncomfortable, and snorted coldly: "How can the old man not be a good minister who is loyal to the monarch and the country, do you want to say that you replaced the old man and became the pillar of the Tang Dynasty?" ”

Li Hao shook his head and smiled: "Lord Eldest Sun, it seems that you are really confused, you have the heart to fight with me, so you also fantasize that I will fight with you, you know, I am very busy, I don't have time to fight with you for power and profit." ”

The eldest grandson Wuji squinted his eyes and snorted coldly: "You said, the old man didn't understand, you sharpened your head and drilled up, you were only thirty years old and you were already a general of the Tiance Mansion, and you were awarded the title of county king and Shangzhu country, and you also worshiped the prime minister, you said you don't want to fight with the old man?" Is the old man a three-year-old child? ”

Li Hao sneered when he heard this: "Lord Eldest Sun, the court is not opened by your family, how much credit I Li Hao has made, how many things have been done to benefit the country and the people, you know better than anyone in your own heart, according to my merits, it is really not too much to be in today's position." ”

The eldest grandson Wuji's face was a little complicated when he heard this, indeed, Li Hao's contributions are really too much, and the biggest of them is to save Chang'an, if it weren't for Li Hao, I am afraid that the Tang Dynasty would have already destroyed the country, and all their ministers would also become slaves of Tubo.

After being silent for a moment, the eldest grandson Wuji said slowly: "It is true that you have made great contributions to the country, which the old man cannot deny, but your political views are too extreme, and it is really difficult to survive in the world, unless you yourself remove the right to participate in political affairs, the old man will not tolerate you!" ”

Li Hao raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "Lord Eldest Sun is talking about the new tax system." ”

The eldest grandson Wuji did not answer, which can be regarded as a tacit acquiescence.

Li Hao himself also knows in his heart that the biggest reason why he offended the ministers of the DPRK and the Central Committee is because of the new tax system he implemented, because the new tax system has seriously damaged the interests of the gate valve family and the major businessmen, all the officials in the DPRK and China who are a little powerful, either they are the children of the gate valve family, or they have a business at home, and they want to rely on that little money to support their families, and wait to drink the northwest wind, Wei Zheng is the best example, as the boss of the province, but all day long pickles and light porridge, this kind of day, which minister of the DPRK and the central government is willing to live, Li Hao is not used to this kind of life, became a money-grubber.

But tax reform is necessary, otherwise Datang will eventually embark on the old road of history, so even if Li Hao knows that the implementation of the new tax system will make him make countless enemies, he still resolutely implements it, even if he has to pay hundreds of thousands of commercial taxes every year, which seriously damages his own interests, he still has to do it, and the road to a strong country is like this.

Li Hao saw that the eldest grandson Wuji acquiesced, tapped the desktop with his five fingers, and said leisurely: "Lord Eldest Sun, I might as well give you a bottom here today, the new tax system is just a starting point on the road to a strong country, I will also implement the new field system, collect all the fields into the state, and then lease the fields to the people to plant, you gate valve families who own tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of acres of land, just wait to cry." ”

"What did you say!" The eldest grandson Wuji was shocked, his eyes glared at Li Hao, his eyes were full of horror and anger, agricultural and commercial properties are the economic sources of all gate valve families, and the new tax system implemented by Li Hao has greatly affected the business of all gate valve families, and now Li Hao actually said that all fields will be nationalized, which is equivalent to pinching the death hole of their gate valve family, how can the eldest grandson Wuji not be angry.

Li Hao saw the angry expression of the eldest grandson Wuji, and grinned: "What, is the eldest grandson going to beat me?" Come on, hit me, I won't fight back, hit me! ”

The eldest grandson Wuji won't be so stupid and beat him? If he didn't keep his promise and punched him back, wouldn't it be bad, and then the reason would still be on his side, and he wouldn't be able to reason even if he reached the Hades Palace.

"You...... You ......" The eldest grandson Wuji pointed at Li Hao angrily, and there was nothing left to describe Li Hao.

Li Hao raised his eyebrows and said: "Lord Eldest Sun, such a policy that benefits the country and the people, I think you should agree very much." ”

"The old man agrees with a fart!" The eldest grandson Wuji actually burst into foul language, which shows how angry he is, and he can't control his emotions anymore.

Li Hao said calmly: "Don't be so excited, come, I'll tell you about this Xintian ...... carefully."

"Don't listen, old man!" The eldest grandson Wuji shouted excitedly, interrupted Li Hao's words, and pointed at Li Hao and said, "You are simply going to disturb my Tang Dynasty!" ”

Li Hao said leisurely: "My lord, when the new tax system was introduced, you also said the same, saying that I want to bring disaster to the country and the people, and now, the Tang Dynasty is prosperous, growing stronger and stronger, so strong that you dare not imagine, last year the Yellow River burst its embankment, the floods on both sides of the Yellow River were raging, tens of thousands of victims' homes were flooded, and the imperial court effortlessly eliminated the disaster, although the people on both sides of the Yellow River were washed away by the flood, but they got more disaster relief funds than their family property, that time, the imperial court disaster relief cost 320,000 yuan, It is the highest disaster relief money since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, and I know why there is so much money, because of the new tax system. ”

The eldest grandson Wuji glared at Li Hao angrily, gritted his teeth and said: "Li Hao, do you think that without you, my Datang really can't hold on!" The old man told you, without you Li Hao, my Datang is also the strongest country in the world! I, the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, is still called the Heavenly Khan by all nations! ”

Li Hao smiled when he heard this: "That's right, without me Li Hao, Datang is still strong, but Datang, as a fierce tiger, thinks he is strong compared to some cats and dogs all day long, is this really good?" You look at what I, Li Hao, have done for Datang over the years, not to mention that I brought science and technology to Datang, starting from politics alone, looking at the new tax system, reducing agricultural taxes, increasing commercial taxes, Datang's annual tax revenue has changed from one million to three million now, and it is still rising every year, the price of rice has dropped from the previous seven to ten Wen to two to three Wen of rice, the people have surplus grain, Chang'an City does not close at night, the road is not forgotten, the previous Tang Dynasty, a natural disaster, Tai Chi Palace, the emperor is sad, worried and sleepless, the disaster area is full of mourning, The people are not happy, and there are even dissidents who take the opportunity to fan the flames and provoke the victims to cause chaos, and now, no matter how big the natural disaster, will not starve to death a victim, the emperor only needs to say how much money is allocated for disaster relief, you can sit back and relax, the country is rich, strong, is really strong. ”

The eldest grandson Wuji's eyes narrowed, and he looked at Li Hao coldly: "Are you teaching the old man how to behave like this?" ”

"Don't dare." Li Hao raised his eyebrows and said, "When the eldest grandson was in politics, I was only afraid that he was still drinking milk, I just wanted to remind the eldest grandson, public before private, as the minister of a country, if you want to be in charge of the court, you must have a selfless and loyal heart, so that you can be convinced, and what you have done makes me very disappointed." ”

Li Hao has already given the eldest grandson Wuji a lot of face, and said the eldest grandson Wuji's selfishness very implicitly, if he said it bluntly, it would be tantamount to tearing off the fig leaf of the eldest grandson Wuji, and he was afraid that he would be angry with the eldest grandson Wuji.

The eldest grandson Wuji also knew that there was no need for their conversation to continue today, there was a sentence that was not said well, the Tao is not the same, and now it can be confirmed that he and Li Hao will definitely not be able to pee in the same pot, what else is there to talk about, so he got up slowly and said coldly: "It seems that the old man should not come today at all, don't speculate for more than half a sentence, the old man will leave!" Then he turned and left.

Li Hao waved his hand and said with a smile: "Lord Eldest Sun, walk slowly, don't fall on the road." ”

The eldest grandson Wuji heard another burst of annoyance, who fell down while walking, the old man who faltered and the child who had just learned to walk, it was obvious that the eldest grandson Wuji was not a child, and Li Hao scolded him for not dying.

After the eldest grandson Wuji left, Li Hao shouted: "Someone! ”

A jailer hurriedly ran over, saluted, and asked, "What is King Qiongnan's command?" ”

Li Hao pointed to the cell door and said, "The lock is broken, hurry up and replace it with a new one, and you have to change it to a big one, the bigger the better!" ”

The jailer stepped forward to take a look, and sure enough, he found that the copper lock had fallen to the ground and had completely collapsed, so he hurriedly called another person to watch Li Hao here, in case Li Hao escaped from prison, and he went to find the lock.

After a while, the jailer came back and brought a big lock, which was more than half a foot long, and it was really big, and he didn't need such a big lock to lock the warehouse door, and he didn't know where he found it, the jailer locked Li Hao's cell door, and Li Hao began to go to prison again with peace of mind.

Three days later, on the first day of the fourth month, the Great Dynasty Meeting, Li Yuanzhong took a group of Jin Wuwei to Dali Temple to pick up Li Hao to go to Taiji Palace, Li Hao had already finished freshening up, waited here, and then followed Li Yuanzhong to Taiji Palace.

After waiting outside the Taiji Hall for half an hour, a voice came from the direction of the Taiji Palace: "Li Hao, the general of the Xuantian Ce Mansion, go to the palace!" ”

Li Hao brushed the crumpled prison uniform, turned his head to look at Li Yuanzhong, grinned, and asked, "Li Yuanzhong, am I handsome?" ”

Li Yuanzhong was stunned, and then nodded vigorously: "Handsome!" ”

Li Hao raised his eyebrows and smiled: "Actually, you are quite handsome." With that, he strode towards the Taiji Hall.

Every twenty steps on both sides is a Jin Wuwei sentry, like a street lamp, Li Hao under their gaze, step by step towards the Taiji Palace, the spring breeze blows, raising his long hair, he feels that he is very energetic today, full of energy, although he is wearing a prison uniform, but he feels that today should be more handsome than usual, and he changed a new line to go up, ah, break a new record, think about the future will be to scare those well-dressed beasts, excited.

Li Hao came to the door of the Taiji Palace, stood outside the threshold and saw Li Zhi sitting on the throne from a distance, he couldn't help but think of the last time he and Li Shimin met, when he said goodbye, he stood in this position, Li Shimin was on the throne, the two of them parted hands, cherished each other, but they didn't expect it to be the last conversation between the two of them, and they couldn't see each other again in this life.

The throne is still the original throne, he is still the original self, but the emperor is no longer the emperor, Li Hao actually has a feeling of being in a different world, he can't help but feel sad, tears blur his eyes, although he tried his best to hold back, but the tears still fell in a torrent, and he couldn't stop.

The ministers turned their heads to look at him, and when they saw him crying, everyone wondered, Li Zhi was too far away and didn't see Li Hao crying, but he was very curious, why did Li Hao stand there and didn't move for a long time, so he took the initiative to ask: "Outside the door, but Li Hao?" ”

Li Hao raised his sleeves to wipe away his tears, and bowed and said, "Back to Your Majesty, it is the minister." ”
