Chapter seven hundred and seventieth exchange

Since Jiang Xian was regent, Li Yao has stood with Wang Jidao for the first time.

He walked forward two steps: "Prince, this won't work! Most of the gentry's families live in groups, and the poor people in the market are less than three generations and they will be separated. If the tax is added according to the head, it will only damage the gentry's families. The big family can only be forced to separate the families, and may not be able to collect much taxes. Instead, it will cause the collapse of rituals and music, and make the gentry dissatisfied..."

Jiang Xian also interrupted Li Yao and said, "Mr. Li is very worried. But he only collects tax once to temporarily resolve the urgent need. It should not be as serious as Lord Li said? Besides, the court is in trouble now, everyone has a responsibility. It is nothing to let those wealthy families in Yangzhou pay more money! If they are dissatisfied with the court and the emperor for this reason, they would not take the court seriously and do not take the emperor seriously. The shores of the world are the king's land. They are all scholars, so they should be very clear." At the end of the words, her tone was obviously dissatisfied.

Li Yao wanted to say something, but Zuo Yiming and secretly pulled her sleeves and snatched before Li Yao and said, "The princess is right! However, taxes have always been a major event, and it is a major event that can shake the foundation of the country. The princess doesn't have to be so anxious. It's better to let us discuss the regulations first and then send people to Yangzhou. If you make a rash decision, it's always easy to make mistakes."

Jiang Xian said unhappily: "But now the court needs money everywhere, and the treasury is empty. Even the empress dowager's enthronement ceremony is very simple. Several adults are also doing it for the court's good. It's okay to discuss a charter first, but it's best to finalize the matter in the past two or three days, so as not to ask me for money, and my head hurts."

Zuo Yiming nodded and said, "Yes".

Jiang Xian then called Meicheng to speak, and the two of them muttered about the New Year for a while. Li Yao and others listened without saying a word. It was not until the Empress Dowager sent someone to ask Jiang Xian whether to have lunch in the Qianqing Palace or return to the Cining Palace for lunch? He also said that the little emperor refused to eat and insisted on waiting for Jiang Xian to go with him. Jiang Xian decided to go back to the Cining Palace to have dinner with the little emperor. This matter was temporarily stopped. Let's discuss it tomorrow, and Li Yao and others left the imperial study room.

But as soon as they walked out of the Qianqing Palace, they could not hear their voices in the imperial study room. Wang Jidao laughed dryly and said to Zuo Yiming: "Master Zuo, I heard that your Zuo family has been separated for six generations! You are an official outside, the Zuo family wants to be an example, and they have a lot of family resources. I believe you are not afraid of the court's tax increase. I just don't know what kind of constitution will be discussed with us? I am quite looking forward to it!"

Now it’s Wang Jidao and Su Peiwen, Li Yao and Zuo Yiming are all the way. Of course, Li Yao will not destroy Zuo Yiming’s platform. Hearing this, he couldn’t help but say coldly: “I forgot that Lord Wang is from Jiangxi.”

What he meant was that Wang Jidao was standing and talking without pain in his back.

If this is spread, officials from Jiangnan and Jiangxi can fight.

"You..." Wang Jidao was so angry that he couldn't speak.

In fact, Wang Jidao's ancestral home is Jiangnan, but when Wang Jidao participated in the imperial examination, his father happened to be an official in Jiangxi. In addition, the north and south were divided into papers, and the north and south were easier to take the exam than the south. Wang Jidao's father did some tricks and asked Wang Jidao to take the exam in Jiangxi.

Everyone in the court knows this.

There are many people who have had the same experience as him.

Usually, no one will point each other's fatal point.

Li Yao said something a little too far.

Zuo Yiming hurriedly made a smooth move and said, "I really want to hold the princess back. Although the princess is extremely intelligent, she is a woman who is raised in the boudoir and does not understand the matter of Jiafeng. If she lets her do anything, we can only thank our neighbors if we resign and return home. Lord Li should not say annoying words, Lord Wang will also listen to my advice. If we don't sit down and discuss the rules of the matter, there will be a big deal. You must know that the scholar will be indecisive when he meets a soldier."

Because Jiang Xian had the support of the garrison, they had to give in. She was the one who supervised the country, and several people knew this in their hearts.

Wang Jidao stopped talking.

Su Peiwen then came out and said hurriedly: "Why do you want a few adults to go to my place for lunch? Someone happened to send me a few taels of newly launched rock tea, so everyone can try it out."

Several people were upset and went to Su Peiwen's house.

Of course, I didn’t come up with a good solution after discussing it.

Seeing that this was not a problem, Li Yao took the lead in saying goodbye.

Zuo Yiming followed his horse's head, so he naturally followed him.

Wang Jidao was so angry that he almost threw his cup.

Su Peiwen changed his previous cowardice and said strongly: "This time, we can't let the princess do whatever she wants. Otherwise, we will be as Zuo Yiming said, and we can only resign and thank our neighbors."

He was even more embarrassed than Wang Jidao and others.

The Gu family and the Su family are family friends. Gu Xun from Jingyang Academy studied with Su Peiwen's father when he was young. If we talk about the origin, Su Peiwen would call him Gu Xun a senior brother.

Wang Jidao said helplessly: "What are you doing?"

Su Peiwen glanced at Wang Jidao with a faint look and whispered: "The hen is not a great way. You should change the individual to supervise the country."

Wang Jidao laughed and said, "Brother Su and I have thought of going together. Even Prince Jian, that's what he thinks."

Su Peiwen laughed and said, "Do you need to discuss this matter with Lord Li? He is in charge of the Ministry of War."

As for Zuo Yiming, I don’t have to worry about him.

He and the Li family are in-laws.

Who knows which side he will stand on then? It is easy to get bad things.

Wang Jidao nodded, first went to Li Yao with Su Peiwen, and then to King Jian with Su Peiwen.

The next morning court, Wang Jidao and others did not discuss the increase in Yangzhou's taxes. Instead, they talked about the management of the Yellow River, saying that the Luoyang prefect recommended a person who knew how to control water and offered a set of strategies for controlling water.

The entire dynasty meeting was spent discussing this matter.

Wang Jidao observed Jiang Xian's expression several times, and saw that she was not anxious or irritable, so he couldn't help but be glad that she was not the little emperor's legitimate mother!

After the court came, Wang Jidao and Jidao were imminent again, and they had to settle the matter first. They talked about it all morning until lunch and decided to come to a conclusion. Naturally, they had no time to continue discussing the tax on Yangzhou.

Jiang Xian knew that they were delaying, and did not get angry, and returned to Cining Palace leisurely.

The Empress Dowager was playing with the little emperor, and the Empress Dowager Han Tongxin, who had just been enthroned, sat aside with a smile, looking like a motherly posture, playing with her grandchildren, and having a happy scene, which made Jiang Xian think that he had gone to the wrong place for a moment.

Han Tongxin stood up with a smile and greeted Jiang Xian happily, as if the gap between him and Jiang Xian had never existed before: "Banning is back! Thank you for your hard work in court! Sit down and have a cup of tea!" As he said that, he complained about Caiying beside him, "Why don't he have any winks at all! The princess doesn't go to help Aunt Meng serve tea and water when she comes back!"

The palace performs its own duties, and being too diligent is too much, and it is also a big mistake to be overreached!

Jiang Xian looked at Han Tongxin with cold eyes, thinking in his heart that he didn't know what Han Tongxin was going to do?

Who knew that Han Tongxin just invited Jiang Xian to take a walk in the Imperial Garden in the afternoon and said, "We sisters haven't sat down and said something well!" The tone showed the meaning of seeking peace.
