Chapter 198 is really cheap(2/2)
Sang Jingtian was the one who opposed the most fiercely in the court just now. It was precisely because of his opposition that Li Yifeng's proposal was rejected by the dynasty. Li Yifeng believed that the proposal should have violated his vital interests. After all, Fufeng King Jiang Xutuo is his father-in-law.
Sang Jingtian smiled and said, "Li Xiang, I didn't mean to target you in the court just now. In fact, I agree with the taxes added to the six princes."
Li Yifeng cursed in his heart, since you agree with it, why should you take the lead in opposing it? You have made good people like you, and all the offending things fall on me.
Sang Jingtiandao: "Li Xiang must have a very good understanding of the financial situation of Dayong, but have you considered that even if we increase taxes to the six princes, the tax silver will be collected smoothly, and can fundamentally change the current financial situation?"
"Of course not."
Sang Jingtian said: "Since you can't, you still have to risk your six princes deviating. In my opinion, this is a thankless thing."
He Dangzhong said in the right time: "Mr. Sang is right, it is not wise to add taxes to silver at this time."
Li Yifeng knew that this matter would definitely not be done. The Empress Dowager should have known that it would not be done, so she asked herself to raise it. Now he has to bear all the responsibilities alone. Li Yifeng said: "What do you think of the reform of the North Korean system?"
Sang Jingtian Dao: "It's still going well at the moment. I think there should be some results within one year."
Li Yifeng said: "But the Empress Dowager thinks the progress is still too slow."
Sang Jingtian smiled and said, "Water drops of stones are not a one-day effort. You must know that haste will not be achieved. In my opinion, it is not easy for Li Xiang to have today's situation. If it were any of us, it would be impossible."
He Dangzhong also agreed and said, "The Empress Dowager is keen to recognize people, and Lord Li is indeed the best choice for the Prime Minister."
Li Yifeng looked at the two of them and regretted calling the meeting. They could not really help him. They wanted to read their jokes. After seeing the reality clearly, Li Yifeng's mood became heavier.
He Dangzhong was in a good mood. After returning, he took the initiative to find his eldest son He Shankuo to play chess. He played three games in a row. He Dangzhong lost all three games. This was a bit beyond He Dangzhong's expectations. How did his eldest son, who was indifferent by nature, suddenly show such strong strength? In fact, he knew that his eldest son's chess power was far better than himself, but today he was a bit abnormal and he didn't give me any face.
He Shankuo smiled and said, "Dad, I won by chance."
He Dangzhong shook his head: "Do you really think I can't see that you're always asking me?"
"Actually, you helped me. Even though I knew I was asking you, I would still play chess patiently with me, and not point out my tricks to satisfy my filial piety."
He Dangzhong laughed: "You are unfilial to do this now." Suddenly, he realized something: "Did I ask Doctor Yang to come to treat you? Are you unhappy?"
"There is no better son than father."
He Dangzhong sighed and said, "Kuo'er, I really don't understand why you have to resist treatment? Don't you want to regain your free walking, you are still young, and your talent is in the world, but few people can reach it. Don't you have ambition? Don't you want to do a grand career?" This is something that makes him puzzled.
He Shankuo said: "I'm not resisting, I'm just not ready yet, and I don't want to pretend to be someone else. If we don't talk about this, you are in such a good mood, what are you happy about?"
He Dangzhong said what happened today and couldn't help but smile: "Li Yifeng was so shameless. I don't know what he was thinking in his mind. He actually planned to attack six kings of different surnames. Those people are easy to mess with? I don't think it will take long before the six princes will join forces to impeach him."
He Shankuo packed up his chess pieces and said, "Li Yifeng must have been used by the Queen Mother."
"Why do you think so?"
He Shankuo said: "With Li Yifeng's cautious attitude towards things, it is a bit abrupt and unreasonable to propose taxes to six kings of different surnames. He would not be unaware that this proposal would offend the six princes, nor would he not consider that there would be someone objection. The reason why he dared to raise it at the court meeting was because he believed that this matter would inevitably be passed, and the only person who could give him this confidence was the Queen Mother."
He Dangzhong shook his head and said, "No, the Queen Mother rejected his proposal."
He Shankuo laughed: "He was used by the Queen Mother, this person's fate will not be very good."
He Dang nodded in a key position. He really couldn't think of when Li Yifeng offended the Empress Dowager, and why did Xiao treat him like this?
He Shankuo said: "It seems that it is not far from Sang Jingtian ascended the position of prime minister."
He Dangzhong said: "His ability is far superior to Li Yifeng."
He Shankuo said: "The Empress Dowager's methods are really clever. Don't my father think there is something mysterious about it?"
"Where is the mystery?"
He Shankuo said: "Although Lu Xiang took the initiative to retire, he had many disciples in the court. If Sang Jingtian was appointed as the prime minister at that time, Sang Jingtian would definitely become the target of public criticism. Lu Xiang's disciples would even blame him for the retirement. The Empress Dowager's appointment of Li Yifeng was beyond everyone's expectations. Sang Jingtian also became a loser in everyone's eyes, and Li Yifeng's victory made him a speculator in everyone's eyes. Li Yifeng
If his talent and virtue are not worthy of the position, how can he convince the public? After he took office, the reform of the court system was slow. It was not only because his personal ability was not good, but also related to the cooperation and implementation of officials. Li Yifeng was already a deviant person. Sang Jingtian came out to take charge of the government again and naturally became the most popular. Even if the opponents compared him with Li Yifeng, they would accept the fact that he was a qualified prime minister. Compared to directly appointing Sang Jingtian as prime minister, this move is really brilliant."
He Dangzhong listened to his son's analysis and sighed in his heart that if his son's legs were safe, he would have achieved brilliant achievements. He whispered: "If Li Yifeng had one-tenth of your vision, he would not have taken on this hot potato at the beginning." In fact, it was not just Li Yifeng, he had not seen through the mystery at the beginning.
He Shankuo said: "The person who lays out the layout is the empress dowager, but the person who is most sober throughout the process should be Sang Jingtian. Of course, he knew that the empress dowager was thinking about him, but I couldn't figure it out why the empress dowager did so much for Sang Jingtian. It was Sang Jingtian who took the lead in supporting King Liang against the emperor becoming the crown prince."
"One time and another time, after all, King Liang is dead, and the only person who can be able to bring Da Yong out of the quagmire is Sang Jingtian."
"The Empress Dowager has many puzzles in her actions. I have been considering her layout recently. The first step should be to use Sang Jingtian as the prime minister, and the second step should be to make a fuss on the throne."
He Dangzhong said: "The emperor is her biological flesh and blood after all."
He Shankuo said: "Is there any news about the eldest princess' marriage?"
He Dangzhong was a little surprised why his son was interested in this matter: "I heard that the eldest princess was very resistant to the selection of the prince consort, so the queen mother changed this idea."
He Shankuo said: "Shan Ming is quite concerned about this matter. Has his father asked him about his thoughts alone?"
He Shanming already knew that the Empress Dowager had politely rejected Li Yifeng's proposal, and his heart was filled with anger. He thought everything was a natural thing, but he did not expect that Xiao Zirong, as the Empress Dowager, would go back on his word.
Although he lived at home, he hadn't seen his father for several days. In fact, even if he saw him, every time the father and son met in a hurry, they went their separate ways without saying a few words.
Hearing that his father was about to see him, He Shanming immediately came to the backyard. His father was dancing with his sword. He Shanming didn't dare to disturb him and watched quietly.
My father's moves were very slow, but the connection between the moves was extremely smooth, and the sword moves were like spiders spitting silk.
He Shanming learned martial arts by Yuan Muqiu, known as the sword demon. He has always been confident in his swordsmanship, but after the battle of Takihe, he realized that he was too far from the realm of the Grand Master. In front of Li Qingshui, he had no power to fight back. He Shanming was arrogant and arrogant. What frustrated him that time was not only his self-esteem but also his confidence. Since that day, he has practiced harder than before, but has achieved little effect.
He Dangzhong slowly closed his sword and said with a smile: "Ming'er, look at my sword technique?"
He Shanming said: "How dare the child comment on his father?"
He Dangzhong said: "You learn from the master of swordsmanship, so you can naturally comment."
He Shanming said: "If you have to say it, it's a good word."
