Although the emperor recovered from his illness, he did not return to the palace. The imperial court was still assisted by the prince, Fang Xuanling, Gao Shilian and other prime ministers.

Li Kuan stood on duty at Hanyuan Hall and watched the civil and military ministers push the horizontal cart every day. Li Kuan was really annoyed, and he never found a chance to fulfill Fang Xuanling's instructions. After all, he was a prince and a general of the Hundred Cavalry Guards, who could

I made him feel uncomfortable.

When Li Kuan was yawning and turning his back to rub his tears, he accidentally saw a person - Xu Jingzong. He had just returned to Beijing from Sima Ren of the Hongzhou Governor's Office and moved to Shizhong, where he was still studying national history.

Li Kuan poked Li Ke next to him without leaving any trace, and asked in a low voice: "The third child, the Xu Yan tribe, who did you come back by?"

Seeing that his second brother looked unkind, Li Ke understood that in June of the 10th year of Zhenguan, Empress Changsun passed away. While all the officials were mourning Empress Changsun, Xu Jingzong saw Ouyang Xun's ugly appearance and laughed.

The death of the empress was a national mourning. No matter what the reason for Xu Jingzong’s laughter was, it was a crime of disrespect. When the censors reported to the Chengqing Hall, His Majesty was furious and wanted to execute him.

However, Sun Shunde, the Duke of Xue State, and a group of people wrote a letter saying that Xu Jingzong was an eighteenth scholar of the Qin Palace and a meritorious official of Qiandi Conglong. It was not appropriate to kill him easily. After careful consideration, the saint demoted him to Hongzhou and became a junior Sima.

.

"I heard that I took the path of the Duke of Qufu County."

Kong Yingda, Yan Shigu, Sima Caizhang, Wang Gong, Wang Yan and others were ordered to compile the righteous teachings of the "Five Classics", and the history of the country was delayed.

The sage originally wanted to use Cen Wenwen, the minister of Zhongshu, to compile the history, but Cen Wenwen had heavy government affairs and had to be consulted on standby, so he really had no time to get away.

So Kong Yingda recommended Xu Jingzong to the saint. Who is Kong Yingda? He is the thirty-second-generation grandson of Confucius, and is the leader of the world's scholars along with Cen Wenwen. Even if the saint is not happy, he has to give up his reputation.

.

As for Xu Jingzong, who can even sell goods to his own father, it is hard to say how he got through this. Of course, the contribution of Dai Zhide, the Minister of Household Affairs, must be indispensable.

They are close friends.

Li Tai glanced back, held his head high and pretended to sleep, not wanting to listen to the prince's nagging: "Second brother, you have to be careful!"

The three brothers Li Chengqian, Li Kuan, and Li Ke were all born in the same year. Of course he knew that the relationship between the second brother and Queen Wende was better than being born in person.

But after all, this person is gone, and people have to look forward. Moreover, he didn’t even care about his own son, so Li Kuan was so angry.

Squeezing the wat tablet in his hand, Li Kuan replied calmly: "Isn't it possible to write the history of the country if you have long hands?"

He pursed his lips and motioned to Li Ke to look at Li Tai behind him. Even though he was annoying as a fat guy, he was quite capable. Xu Jingzong was gone, so why not let him repair it? He had a lot of free time anyway.

Taking Li Kuan's arm, Li Ke added hastily: "Brother, don't cause trouble, this is a court meeting!"

Li Kuan smiled slightly: "Third brother, don't worry, I'm not that stupid."

The two brothers were whispering in a friendly manner. When Li Chengqian saw it, he felt a little uncomfortable.

Then he said loudly on the steps: "King of Chu and King of Wu, do you have any opinions on Minister Cen's request to dredge the ditches in the states in Guanzhong?"

"If you have any opinions, you can say it! Gu and all the ministers are here. We can discuss it together. It will always be complete."

The third child was stunned by the prince's question, but Li Kuan was not afraid and went out holding the wat board: "Your Highness, Minister Cen's words are related to the country, ditch irrigation, and farming. I naturally agree."

"But my brother is a little confused. He shows disdain for such a policy that benefits the country and the people. Could it be that he has a better strategy than this? My brother has been in the army for a long time and is not familiar with government affairs, so he asked Wu

King."

Cen Wenwen is a great talent, and his strategies and abilities are all submitted to him. Even though Xu Jingzong has some crooked talents and is one of the eighteen bachelors in the Qin Palace, it may not be possible to find any faults in his strategies.

Yes, Li Kuan was wronging him, and he was clearly wronging him. The dignified prince, in this temple, would never wrong him for no reason, right? Many ministers in the palace believed it, and they all looked at him.

Xu Jingzong looked bitter.

Oh? Li Chengqian was also very curious and looked at Xu Jingzong: "Do you have any advice on this matter?"

Goodbye! Goodbye! Xu Jingzong was so confused. He was the one standing in the middle of the class. Misfortune came from the sky. He didn’t look at the almanac when he went out, and he met the evil star of King Chu.

Xu Jingzong also didn't understand. He had only returned to the court for less than ten days, so how could he provoke the newly returned His Highness the King of Chu! What was he doing? Was he trying to tie someone up?

But even though he was facing a lawsuit, Xu Jingzong could only bite the bullet and replied: "I think that if we change the reward of money to reward of grain when recruiting people, it will be more in line with the people's feelings."

This cleverness is good, the food seems to be able to better understand the sufferings of the common people, and it is easier to win the favor of the people, which has earned Li Chengqian, the supervisor, a reputation as "loving the people and being pragmatic".

Cen Wenwen was also holding the wat board and was about to speak when Li Chengqian raised his hand to stop him: "I understand what you mean!"

If it is a year of great disaster, when food is more valuable than life and gold, giving food rewards is indeed a good way to appease people's hearts and deepen the danger of the court.

But last year, there was a good harvest in Guanzhong, and a bucket of grain was only four cents. In Chang'an, it was slightly more expensive, at six cents a bucket. The low price of grain hurt farmers! In a good harvest year, no matter how good the grain is, it cannot be sold at a high price.

Building canals is a hard job and requires a lot of effort. Under such circumstances, distributing food to the people is tantamount to wasting labor. Not only will it not win a good reputation, it will be counterproductive.

The court built the canal to benefit the people and prevent lack of rain and food harvest. The farmers were beside the canal, smashing eight petals with a drop of sweat. It was not easy to earn some money after enduring the summer. The court would rather suffer a loss than let the people sell their crops in vain.

Strength.

After hearing what the prince said, Cen Wenwen also raised his wat and said respectfully: "What your highness said is very good, and it is better than what I thought."

Li Chengqian's words of love for the people left Cen Wenwen speechless, and even more so that Xu Jingzong's body was completely refuted. Xiao Chongming blushed and could only agree with Cen Wenwen and praise the prince's sage.

Yes! How can one not be holy? He who inherits the emperor's legacy and leads the world is the one for whom the prince was born. Changsun Wuji, Wei Zheng, Kong Yingda, and Dai Zhide all went out to pay tribute to the prince's holy wisdom.

.

Among the congratulatory crowd, Li Kuan also smiled slightly. The little fat man always thought that the prince was inferior to him, but Li Chengqian had been taught by famous teachers since he was a child and learned the art of emperors. How could he not have two drops of ink in his stomach?

..., Outside Chengtian Gate, ministers and ministers were discussing today's court meeting in small groups, and there were obviously more people who praised the prince than in the past.

But Xu Jingzong, who had a miserable look on his face and lowered his head to think, somehow bumped into Chu King Li Kuan.

Xu Jingzong, who subconsciously smiled and planned to apologize, received a loud slap in the face before he could open his mouth, causing Xu Jingzong to spin around three times and attract the side glances of all the ministers.
