Chapter 970: Letters from afar

"From tomorrow - not - from today on, be a happy person, feed the horses, chop wood, and travel around Chang'an. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoFrom today onwards, care about food and vegetables, I have a house facing the sea, spring flowers are blooming...... Give every river and every mountain a warm name, stranger, and I bless you too. May you have a bright future, may you have a lover and eventually become a family, may you be happy in the world, I only wish to face the sea, spring flowers! ”

Xia Hongsheng stood on the top of the cloister, the early morning sun fell on his face, his mouth was humming, and he was in a good mood.

"Where did the sea come from?" Suddenly, a voice came from behind him.

Xia Hongsheng didn't need to look back, just listening to the voice, he knew that it was Li Chengqian.

"This is a poem that I learned from the side, and although it is completely different from the style of poetry today, it is still a wonderful work." Xia Hongsheng turned around and said, then asked, "What?" Your Majesty has asked you to pass the word again? ”

Li Chengqian shook his head and said, "This is not true. Just thinking that you are bored at home, come over and talk a few words to relieve your boredom. ”

"Thank you." Xia Hongsheng smiled: "It's really time for you to come." Two cows died in a fall on the village yesterday, and a lot of them were delivered this morning, and the bones were picked to make beef soup. ”

"That's great! Pull me a bowl of stewed noodles? Li Chengqian was greatly moved, and said: "I haven't eaten beef soup stewed noodles for a long time, and if you pull it wider and thicker, it will be chewy!" ”

Xia Hongsheng nodded: "Cheng, when the time comes, send someone to the cook to explain." ”

The two sat down casually, Li Chengqian took out a newspaper from his sleeve, and said while unfolding it: "Brother Sheng, you said that today's tax system has so many drawbacks, I didn't know it originally, but when I looked at this newspaper, I was shocked. Brother Sheng, you said so many problems, so many problems, for so long, why hasn't anyone found out?! ”

Xia Hongsheng smiled and said, "Cheng Qian, if you don't read a newspaper, can you find out?" ”

Li Chengqian was stunned.

But I heard Xia Hongsheng say again: "The system is a thing that serves some people after all." To serve some people, you have to lose some of the interests of other people. Those who have vested interests, because of their vested interests, where do they still have the heart to care about the interests of others? Or, in order to protect their vested interests, they would rather be blind and deliberately see that they are not visible. But there must always be someone who says a few words for the benefit of the people. Inherit the cadres, and those who win the hearts of the people win the world. What is the will of the people? To put it bluntly, the will of the people is the interest of the people. When the interests of the people are protected, the people support you. As long as all the people in the world support you, you will be invincible. What is more help for the righteous and less help for the unjust? This Tao is profit. If you can represent the interests of the majority, then the majority will support you, and if you exploit the interests of the majority, the majority will oppose you. It's that simple. I hope that it is not me who will come forward to benefit the people, but the court. In this way, the imperial court can win the trust of the people and receive the support and protection of the people. Li Tang can be eternal and prosperous! ”

"Brother Sheng, don't worry." Li Chengqian said to Xia Hongsheng: "Father has already made up his mind this time. A few days ago, there were people in the court who impeached you, impeached the newspaper, and asked my father to seal down the newspaper, arrest all the people in the newspaper, and hold you accountable. The father was furious and rebuked them. said that the Tang Dynasty has never been convicted for his words, if he pointed out that the mistakes of the government and the emperor were guilty, then Wei Zheng and those counselors could cut off their heads hundreds of times! ”

Xia Hongsheng suddenly grinned, Li Shimin used this to block people, and those people were really speechless.

Li Chengqian saw that Xia Hongsheng was smiling, so he also smiled and said, "Brother Sheng, you can rest assured." ”

"At this point, I don't need to worry." Xia Hongsheng smiled and said, "What I'm worried about is what will happen later. ”

"After that?" Li Chengqian asked, "What's the matter?" ”

"Your Majesty has already ordered me to compile a new commercial law and a new tax law, and in a few days, the new commercial law and the new tax law will be implemented in Jingyang on a trial basis." Xia Hongsheng said to Li Chengqian: "Otherwise, why do you think I became the commander of Jingyang County?" ”

"What?!" Li Chengqian was taken aback.

"Cheng Qian, during this time, you can still stay as far away from me as you can." Xia Hongsheng said to Li Chengqian: "As long as Your Majesty does not summon me, I will hide in Jingyang, but I am afraid that I will not take the initiative to appear in Chang'an for a few months." ”

"Then ...... about your marriage to Xu Hui," Li Chengqian asked.

"Uh...... Before that, of course, the marriage must be consummated! The tragic atmosphere that Xia Hongsheng had easily created disappeared in an instant, so he had to smile helplessly and said, "Daoist Yuan has already looked at the time. Originally, the two families only had the last step of welcoming their relatives. The family is already preparing, and I have been in Chang'an for the past few days to see the reactions of all sides. I have to go back to Jingyang tomorrow, and three days after I go back, it will be the day to welcome my relatives. ”

"You're so calm!" Li Chengqian shook his head and sighed.

Xia Hongsheng was also helpless: "I can't intervene in this at home, this person comes and goes, and people are nervous." ”

"Nervous?" Li Chengqian smiled and said, "Brother Sheng, you are also a general who has been killed by thousands of troops, and you are not afraid of killing in battle, and you are still nervous about this?" ”

"You don't understand." Xia Hongsheng looked at Li Chengqian and said with a smile: "When you meet the woman you really like one day, you will know why I suddenly became timid." ”

As he spoke, he thought of Xu Hui, and at this moment, I don't know how busy and nervous she will be, and what kind of expression will appear on her face.

Thinking about it, I couldn't help but laugh.

"Tut-tut......" Li Chengqian looked at Xia Hongsheng on the other side, and saw his infatuation on his face, his mouth was not free to rise, so he smiled: "This is the joy of the eyebrows!" ”

Suddenly, only a sound of footsteps was heard, Li Chengqian and Xia Hongsheng turned their heads to look over, and saw that it was a family member coming over, still holding a letter in their hands.

"Childe!" Jia Ding saluted Xia Hongsheng and said, "Arhan visited Gongzi outside and brought this letter, saying that when the caravan came back, Wang Xuance ordered him to take it to Gongzi. Arkhand brought it back. ”

"Wang Xuance?!" Xia Hongsheng stood up suddenly, and snatched the bamboo tube with one hand.

The bamboo tube was not damaged by the fire clay, Xia Hongsheng twisted hard, unscrewed the bamboo tube, and two letters fell from the bamboo tube.

One letter reads: Persian Xuan Ce bowed his head, and Xia brother Jingshi personally opened it.

On the other letter, there is no text, just a string of numbers, and a few sets of pinyin. (To be continued.) )
