Xia Hongsheng came out of Da'an Palace, feeling a little helpless about Li Yuan's approach, and also felt a little related. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info estimated that in this palace, the person closest to Li Yuan was this princess. A widowed son, a widowed husband, but had to live by the murderer's side and accept the murderer's arrangement.

History has its cruel side, and it must be corresponded with its pathos.

Xia Hongsheng shook his head and sighed. But how should this be said to Li Shimin?

What's going on! Why is this son still on this stall when he gets married!

was frowning and walking, but suddenly bumped into a person, Xia Hongsheng was already in a bad mood, and immediately the fire came up, glared at the waiter fiercely, and reprimanded: "Can you walk?" Do you have long eyes?! ”

The chamberlain hurriedly bowed down and apologized, and said, "Master Hou forgives your sins!" Master Hou forgives his sins! His Majesty ordered the slaves and maids to wait for the Hou Ye here, and when the Hou Ye came out, he summoned the Hou Ye to the imperial study. Seeing that Hou Ye was walking fast, the slave maid hurriedly came out and accidentally bumped into Hou Ye! ”

"Your Majesty?" Xia Hongsheng was stunned for a moment, and then it became clear.

It is impossible for Li Shimin not to plant eyeliner by Li Yuan's side, as soon as he came back, Li Yuan summoned him over, Li Shimin must be curious.

It's good. Tell Li Shimin to go disgusting, as long as it doesn't involve this son.

So he was not angry at the moment, and said to the servant: "It's okay, Ben Hou is upset and offended. Since His Majesty has summoned Ben Hou, let's go. ”

"Don't dare! Can't! Hou Ye, please! The waiter saluted again and took Xia Hongsheng to Li Shimin's study.

Soon, the two passed through the palace walls and arrived at the location of Li Shimin's study.

The chamberlain announced, and Li Shimin responded and let Xia Hongsheng in.

Entering the study, Li Shimin was the only one inside. Xia Hongsheng saluted, Li Shimin put down the music in his hand, raised his hand, and motioned for Xia Hongsheng to sit down by himself.

"The Emperor summoned you?" Li Shimin asked in a flat tone.

Xia Hongsheng nodded and said, "In the afternoon, the Emperor Taishang ordered the chamberlain to summon his ministers to Da'an Palace, and asked Weichen to tell him about the interesting stories and anecdotes he had encountered outside in the past two years. And then...... The Emperor Taishang also forced Weichen to do something, and Weichen was in a dilemma. ”

"Oh?" Li Shimin frowned slightly and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Xia Hongsheng sighed and said to Li Shimin: "The Emperor Taishang knew that Weichen had begun to prepare for the marriage, and I didn't know where to learn that Weichen had not yet set a matchmaker, so he summoned Weichen to Da'an Palace, ready to call Princess Xi to find the queen mother and talk to Weichen as a matchmaker." ”

"Looking for the princess to talk about the matchmaker?!" Li Shimin was stunned for a moment, and then his face suddenly became a little unpleasant, and his face was pale.

"yes!" Xia Hongsheng shook his head: "The Emperor Taishang didn't give Weichen a chance to speak at all, and said that he would let Princess Xi come to the queen tomorrow, and then twist Weichen out." ”

Li Shimin frowned: "Why did the Emperor Taishang interfere in this matter?" ”

"Emperor Taishang said......" Xia Hongsheng paused, hesitated, and said: "Said that he is running out of time, and wants Princess Xi to tell Weichen to match, so that the palace people think that Princess Xi has a good relationship with Weichen and Her Royal Highness the Princess, and after a hundred years, the palace people will be jealous of Weichen because Weichen is deeply trusted by His Majesty, so they dare not bully the princess, and Princess Xi may be better." ”

Li Shimin was stunned again, his face was obviously in a trance, and he fell silent.

Xia Hongsheng didn't speak, the less they were involved in their family's affairs, the better.

After a long time, Li Shimin sighed lightly and said, "Since it is the will of the emperor, then you will do it." ”

"Obey the order!" Xia Hongsheng nodded and said.

Li Shimin shook his head, as if he wanted to shake some chaotic thoughts out of his mind, and then said to Xia Hongsheng: "Don't talk about this." By the way, a few days ago, Jingyang County ordered a recital, saying that after you went back, you used a method of "public welfare activities" or something, so that the wealthy businessmen and squires in Jingyang voluntarily contributed money and materials to donate to build five schools, and now the five schools are being built hotly, saying that they will all be completed within the year. Because it involved you, Fang Qing handed over the performance to me. I am very curious about the way you let the wealthy merchants and squires of Jingyang voluntarily contribute money and goods. I don't know what this 'public welfare activity' is? ”

"That's it." Xia Hongsheng smiled and said, "Your Majesty, this is just a little clever trick by Wei Chen. In fact, the essence is exchange. Wealthy merchants and squires voluntarily contributed money and goods to build a school in Jingyang, not to get benefits. ”

"Benefits?" Hearing Xia Hongsheng say this, Li Shimin's expression was solemn, and he immediately said sharply: "Didn't Xia Qing give these businessmen privileges in exchange?!" What is the difference between this move and the government's act of selling official beards?! ”

"Your Majesty has misunderstood!" Xia Hongsheng saw that Li Shimin wanted to diverge in the place, so he explained: "The benefit that Wechen gives them is to let them understand the meaning of doing public welfare activities, and it is the benefit of doing public welfare activities. The benefits they have obtained are also from public welfare activities, not from the government. Your Majesty, the public, the public, the beneficiary, the beneficiary. The so-called public welfare is the benefit of all. and refers to the public interest, the public interest. In its literal sense, it is for the benefit of the public, and its essence should be said to be the redistribution of social wealth. The so-called public welfare activities refer to certain organizations or individuals who donate property, time, energy or provide knowledge to the society free of charge, so that other members of the public and ordinary people around them can benefit from it. There are many public welfare activities, such as the construction of public facilities, the planning, construction and maintenance of cement roads for the village, the construction of water conservancy, water wheels and other facilities for the villagers. Or social benefits. For example, support military households and give preferential treatment to the families of military martyrs. Or disaster relief, opening a shed to give porridge, etc., and even building a school for the villagers. All these things that can bring benefits to the people are public welfare activities. ”

"Oh? Listening to Xia Qing's words, to put it simply, wouldn't it make those rich businessmen and squires spend their own money on others? These people have benefited, but they themselves have lost a lot of money, where does the benefit come from? Li Shimin's comprehension ability is really outstanding, and he understood it as soon as he heard it, and asked.

"Your Majesty, you think! These merchants funded the construction of schools for the people of Jingyang, and the people of Jingyang will not be grateful for mentioning them in the future? When this news spreads, which of the people who know it will not praise them for their great righteousness of helping the world at the same time? With this fame, with this fame, if there is a business in this area in the future, of course, they will be the first thing that comes to mind! Although it cost them a lot of money to build a school, it made them more famous and respected, and how much business would it bring them! When compared to the two, the money spent on building the school is nothing! The county government will also carve stone statues for them according to the amount of money they donate, and put them in the school, so that the students know that they donated money to run the school, so that the students can learn and be grateful to them. What an honor! This honor can also make him gain more trust from people, and everyone will naturally be more willing to associate with a good person, and his business will naturally prosper. This is the benefit of the business to carry out public welfare activities! (To be continued.) )
