Xia Hongsheng and Li Tai discussed all the way, and when the carriage arrived in front of the palace, Xia Hongsheng sighed and got into the big box again. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Li Lizhen and a few people got down from the carriage, and Li Ke called a few guards to carry the boxes down, and then let the carriage pull Xu Hui back to Xu's mansion.

Li Lizhen entered the palace with Li Ke and Li Tai, and naturally, the wooden boxes were also carried in.

"Let's be light, these are gifts prepared by the princess for the queen." Li Ke said to the guards who were carrying the boxes.

When he arrived in the hall, Li Shimin looked at the boxes, couldn't help laughing, and waved his hand to tell everyone in the hall to go out.

"Come out!" Li Shimin was very amused and said to the wooden box: "Tsk, when the court horse, the general of the third grade of Guide, actually got into the wooden box and was carried in, you can figure it out!" ”

Li Ke and Li Tai went over to open the box, Xia Hongsheng jumped out of it, met Li Shimin, and said with a smile: "The son-in-law visits his father-in-law, isn't it for the sake of insurance, in this way, no one will find out that the son-in-law came to see his father-in-law." The son-in-law would rather drill the box than lead the dirty water to the father-in-law! ”

"Oh, so I'm going to thank you?" Li Shimin raised his eyebrows and said.

"Haha, father-in-law doesn't have to be like this, this is what a son-in-law should do!" Xia Hongsheng patted his chest and said.

Li Shimin glared at Xia Hongsheng angrily, and then said to Li Lizhen, Li Ke and Li Tai: "It's okay to wait for the queen mother, it's just that you occasionally feel cold, and now it's fine." I just want you to be tight, so let's go over and see you soon! Ke'er, your mother also thinks that you are thinking tightly, and she has been babbling in my ears for a long time. You used to visit her twice in three days, and now that you have gone to Jingyang Academy, you should come back to see your mother more often. The queen is also fine, after you go to see her, you will go to Concubine Yang to accompany your mother. ”

"What the father taught me is that it is the child who is slight!" Li Ke saluted and said, "Thank you father for reminding me!" ”

Li Shimin nodded, taught the three of them to go over, and only he and Xia Hongsheng were left in the hall.

After the three of them left, Li Shimin immediately asked: "How is the new commercial law and tax system implemented in Jingyang?" ”

Xia Hongsheng knew that he wanted to get down to business, so he stopped interfering in the department, and replied with a bow: "Except for a few squires and others who resisted, everyone else praised them. In particular, ordinary people and merchants are very supportive of the implementation of the new commercial law and tax system. However, because Jingyang is the only place to do this, the people and merchants are also bottomless and cannot be completely convinced. There are also many businessmen who ask their sons-in-law, only Jingyang is like this, and there is no imperial court instruction, how can I dare to promise that the restrictions on them can be eliminated, how can I dare to promise that their heirs can also participate in the imperial examination, and what should happen if the country is not allowed by the national eunuch at that time. There are quite a few such words. ”

"Their worries are not unreasonable." Li Shimin nodded and said, "It's just that it still can't be done now, I need remarkable results, specific figures, and I can come up with them to plug the mouths of the courtiers." The method of pretending to be stupid won't last long. ”

"One year, father-in-law, just one year!" Xia Hongsheng said to Li Shimin: "In one year, after the two taxes, the results can be seen. ”

"One year ......" Li Shimin sighed and said, "One year, I can't wait. It's just that I'm already preparing to send troops to Goguryeo, and I need you to accompany me. But I am worried that once you leave Jingyang, the implementation of the new commercial law and the new tax law will be sabotage, and it will end up in a difficult end. ”

"The new commercial law and the new tax system are now on the right track, step by step, to say that the son-in-law is not in Jingyang, there is nothing." Xia Hongsheng thought for a while and said: "Yang Xiancheng and Shen Zhushu are already very familiar with the new law, and these two are also reliable, if the son-in-law leaves Jingyang, the two of them will continue to implement it." I'm afraid that someone will take advantage of the absence of the son-in-law to frame the two of them and use some bad methods. Yang Xiancheng is too upright and doesn't know how to be flexible, while Shen Zhushu adheres to the mean, but I'm afraid that he is not the opponent of those people. However, the son-in-law has two choices, and if he can stay in Jingyang after the son-in-law leaves, there is no need to worry too much. ”

"Oh? There are such candidates" Li Shimin looked at Xia Hongsheng unexpectedly, and asked repeatedly: "Hurry up and talk to me!" ”

"The most suitable person is Ma Zhou, this one." Xia Hongsheng replied: "Ma Zhou, this person is Luan Feng Lingyun, and he must have wings. The sending of the humerus is honest in loyalty. Zhou sees things quickly, and is very cautious, as for the characters, as far as the straight is concerned, he writes loyalty, is attached to His Majesty, and can be with the current government. He has a strong temperament, but also shrewdness, can judge the situation, act when the opportunity arises, and is loyal to His Majesty, so he should be the best candidate. ”

"Ma Zhou!" Li Shimin pondered for a moment and said, "Yes, if Ma Zhou stays in Jingyang, then there is no need to worry about the implementation of the new law." It's just that...... I decided to make the crown prince supervise the country and exercise his ability, and I intended to let Ma Zhou assist...... Let's talk about the virtuous son-in-law first, who is this second candidate? ”

Xia Hongsheng said with a smile: "This second candidate...... Hehe, this person has no way to govern the family, is lustful, extravagant and greedy for money, and is also opportunistic. ”

Li Shimin was surprised by these words, and said, "This ...... Who is this that the virtuous son-in-law is talking about?! ”

"Xu Jingzong." Xia Hongsheng said: "Xu Jingzong is a person with extremely active eyes and good at speculation. Be able to see what is good for you, and then follow it. And he is very disgusted with the scholars. If Your Majesty asks him to go to Jingyang to implement the new law and deal with those scholars, he will not only show merit to Your Majesty, but also deal a blow to the power of the scholars, I am afraid that he will not be more willing. He was cunning and cunning, especially opportunistic, and did not have to worry about the deception of the nobles. It's just that, as Fang Cai's son-in-law said, if he goes to Jingyang, the new law can be implemented, but he will also be greedy and bend the law to discredit the new law. Therefore, this person should be counted as half. ”

"Xu Jingzong?" Li Shimin was very surprised: "He has a virtuous son-in-law who says so unbearable?" The virtuous son-in-law said that there are two candidates, and now Xu Jingzong is only half of it, so who is the other half? ”

"This other half, Your Majesty, this other half is not for the purpose of implementing the new law." Xia Hongsheng said again: "This other half, if you let him go alone, I'm afraid it won't be perfect, and you have to add the other half." ”

"You mean to send him with Xu Jingzong?" Li Shimin frowned and asked, "Who is it?" ”

"His Royal Highness the King of Shu." Xia Hongsheng said with a smile.

Li Shimin was stunned: "Ke'er?!" ”

(Li Kezhenguan was named King of Wu in the eleventh year of his reign, and he was previously the King of Shu)

"Not bad. His Royal Highness the King of Shu is quick-witted, and his Yingguo is beyond ordinary people, and he is sleek. Let him preside over this matter, and Xu Jingzong will assist him, and he will not be afraid of the criticism of the scholars. His Royal Highness the King of Shu can also watch Xu Jingzong and prevent Xu Jingzong from being greedy for ink. And with the astuteness of His Royal Highness the King of Shu, Xu Jingzong's thoughts can't be hidden from His Royal Highness. Xia Hongsheng said: "As for Yang Xiancheng and others, their official position is lower than that of Xu Jingzong, and their intelligence is not as good as him, I am afraid that they will not only be unable to control Xu Jingzong, but will also be trapped by Xu Jingzong." ”

"This ......" Li Shimin wrinkled his brows and said in a low voice: "This is a good life to think about!" (To be continued.) )
