Views:

Li Lingyue's "Fang Jian Tian Xia" will take advantage of the joy and excitement of the Lantern Festival, especially after people get up early the next morning and have not yet recovered from the festive atmosphere, they will put their "Fang Jian Tian Xia" in di The next day, it began to be distributed in various markets.

And what makes Li Hong embarrassed is that he originally did not plan to set off fireworks on this Lantern Festival, but in order to create another gimmick for Li Lingyue's "Fang Jian Xia", he had to hurriedly prepare again tonight Set off fireworks.

The royal family members gathered in Chang'an City. Even Yiyang and Gao'an seemed to be living in the East Palace in the past few days. They took their sons and prepared for a lively Lantern Festival in the East Palace.

Prince Ji Li Shen and other members of the royal family and the older generation had already entered the Daming Palace early in the morning of the Lantern Festival, while some of the younger generation gathered in Li Hong's East Palace.

In the bustling East Palace, both the Chongwen Hall and the Chongren Hall, especially the Chongzheng Hall between the two halls, were crowded with various princes and county heads of the royal family on this day.

Li Chuyuan has always been a little absent-minded. Ever since Li Hong called Xu Yanbo away, she felt in her heart that the sweet days after her marriage seemed to be taken away by Li Hong.

I am afraid that my husband will no longer be able to stay with me every day like he has been in the past few months, and accompany me to have sex with him.

"What is the purpose of Tianxiazhuan?" Li Hong asked relaxedly in the study room of Li Zhengdian, looking at Xu Yanbo sitting opposite him, pouring tea for himself.

"If it were the past, I will... Oh, I will naturally answer the questions of my country, etiquette, the world, and the welfare of the people." Xu Yanbo put the white as jade, extremely transparent teacup in front of Li Hong with the tea, and continued: "Now I think it is: the article should be a sharp weapon in the hands of the court, a sharp weapon that is beneficial to the country, the country, and the country of the Tang Dynasty."

"How many years have you been following me?"

"In the Yuan Dynasty, Your Majesty changed the fifth year of Yifeng to the first year of Tiaolu. It has been more than eleven years since you went to Anxi." Xu Yanbo raised his head and counted the time and said.

"What do you think of the 'Fang Jian Tian Xia' that Princess Taiping will publish tomorrow? The advantages outweigh the disadvantages? The disadvantages outweigh the advantages? What are the advantages and disadvantages?" Li Hong looked at the seven or eight pages of Fang Jian Tian Xia that had been published. Foot-long pieces of paper were stapled together, and each piece of paper was covered with words on both sides, unable to be divided into different sections.

Li Hong did not disturb Xu Yanbo as he read through it carefully. While drinking tea, he waited for Xu Yanbo to give him his opinion. In any case, Xu Yanbo, as the grandson of Xu Jingzong, genetically speaking, this guy should have some Xu Jingzong’s city, right

If Xu Yanbo can give him a satisfactory answer, then he will be the most satisfactory candidate he can find to supervise this "world", right

He is related by marriage to the royal family, and has followed him for many years, working hard and without complaint. He has the palace and gloom he wants, but he is loyal to himself and the court, and can connect the relationship between the royal family and his clan like a bridge.

"Double-edged sword." Xu Yanbo put down the magazine, glanced at Li Hong, and after thinking about the vocabulary, he just spit out three words.

"Continue." Li Hong poured himself the new black tea, and then poured a cup for Xu Yanbo himself.

"Every article has something to write about, and every page has something to write about. The most elusive thing about a literati is his heart, and when his heart is put on paper, it becomes his Not a single word was written with their pens, but it all contained what they were thinking in their hearts, and even their selfishness in it. The title in a row of large characters was obviously the main theme of the article, but... if someone is interested in winning over the author of an article... Even if I am in charge of editing such a publication, I am afraid that it will be impossible to prevent who will use this article!" Xu Yanbo began to enter the role, just like his grandfather Xu Jingzong did when he was in charge of household registration.

Both of them have a keen sense of touch, and can often think backwards from the darkest side of a seemingly excellent thing.

When Xu Jingzong was preparing household registration, he never started with how to manage it before starting. Instead, he started with the ways and methods people would use to evade taxes, evade taxes, conceal population, or how wealthy and aristocratic families would do it. In what way, we can avoid the court's regulations on renting and the taxes and fees after combining it with household registration.

The high-ranking aristocrats have a large population, and their household registrations are never accurate, and their servants, servants, etc. are often a means for them to confuse the government. In this way, ordinary people are thoroughly touched by the government, but the taxes of wealthy families , every year, before the household registration system was changed, the tax was almost the same as that of an ordinary middle-income household.

How can this be? But if you check according to the household registration system, you can't see what their problems are at all. You know that they have problems, but you can't find out or provide evidence.

So when Xu Jingzong restructured the household registration system of the Tang Dynasty before his death, the most happy and satisfied thing was the royal family and the court. Even the royal family members hated Xu Jingzong.

When Xu Jingzong was buried, he thought that as a minister of the late emperor and having served loyally under His Majesty for many years, he was qualified to be buried with the late emperor in Zhaoling, right

But when Li Hong proposed it, it immediately aroused opposition from the officials in the court. At that time, Li Hong was just a prince, not the prince who was as powerful as he is now.

Faced with the old man's refusal to help each other, Li Hong could only say nothing in the court. Even Xu Yanbo, who heard the news, had a trace of disappointment on his face.

Fortunately, Li Zhi and the court officials finally gave Xu Jingzong some face when choosing his posthumous title.

Although it also caused an extremely heated discussion among the ministers in the court, fortunately, after the courtiers insisted on sticking to the bottom line and not allowing him to be buried with Zhaoling, they didn't care so much about other things, and were eventually replaced by Li Zhi. He was given a posthumous title with the word "Gong", which means that his faults can be changed, and he was allowed to be buried with him in the Qianling Mausoleum.

Xu Yanbo breathed a sigh of relief and was even more grateful to Li Hong and Li Zhi. Of course, this was also due to King Ji Li Shen. After all, he was already his future son-in-law at that time.

"Then what do you think?" Li Hong raised his eyelids and asked calmly, his expression making it impossible for Xu Yanbo to tell what the Crown Prince's attitude was about what he just said.

But no matter what, since Xu Yanbo has started, he must follow the train of thought and continue to say what he can think of.

"It is impossible to prevent, let alone, what if someone imitates the 'Fang Jian Tian Xia'? Will Dali Temple, Yushitai, or your Zhan Shifu be held accountable? How to hold accountable, and which criminal law should be followed? The most important thing is, Zhan Shifu Is it a link between the past and the following, or is it like Dali Temple and Yushitai, they only have supervisory power and have no power to handle the responsibilities of the world?" Xu Yanbo's eyes never left Li Hong's face since he spoke.

"If Li Lingyue hears what you said, just wait for her to sue you in front of Li Chuyuan." Li Hong smiled and said lightly.

"I am just discussing the matter. I also believe that Her Royal Highness the Princess is naturally on the side of the court, but... where is Shangguan Wan'er? You promoted Shangguan Yi from Zhongshu Province. Shangguan Wan'er has been smart, studious and quick-thinking since she was a child. , whose intelligence is probably not weaker than that of Her Royal Highness, if..."

"You don't have to worry about this. The Dali Temple will revise the laws. The Zhenguan laws will be revised sooner or later. Zhan Shifu is directly in charge. Naturally, he has the same responsibility as the 'Fang Jian Tian Xia'. Do you understand?" Li Hong asked about Shangguan Wan. Er's discussion stopped there and only pointed to other things.

There is nothing to talk about between him and Shangguan Wan'er now, let alone only sixteen years old. Although Shangguan Wan'er has grown into a monster now, Shangguan Yi has a hard time getting through this.

Saying that he doesn't like Shangguan Wan'er... That's pure nonsense. Even if he is not the prince, if he sees Shangguan Wan'er, he will definitely be attracted by her appearance. What's more, now, there is always Li Lingyue in the middle.

But having said that, this matter is only limited to a few people such as the father, the queen, and Li Lingyue. They know that there is something wrong between him and Shangguan Wan'er, so it is reasonable for Xu Yanbo not to understand.

When Xu Yanbo heard that Zhan Shifu and "Fangjian Tianxia" had the same responsibility, and they had the same responsibility, he understood that this was His Highness the Crown Prince, who completely placed Zhan Shifu above Chongwen Hall and "Fangjian Tianxia" in terms of administration. It seems that it is completely under the direct control of Zhan Shifu.

Zhan Shi's Mansion oversees all affairs inside and outside the East Palace, corrects all violations, and is the general judge of government affairs. Therefore, Xu Yanbo, the Prince Zhan Shi, will be a powerful official of the third rank, and he will have more responsibilities than the previous Prince Zhan Shi. Compared with the previous Prince Zhan Shi, it was much heavier.

"In this case, I have no doubts for the time being." Xu Yanbo quickly continued to calculate the pros and cons of the publication in his mind. After finding no other cons for the time being, he said cautiously.

"Okay, since there are no objections, you will be in charge of the main office of this publication from now on. As for the standards, you have been with me for so many years, so you must know them well, right?" Li Hong raised his teacup and drank tea with Xu Yanbo. Said at once.

"Yes, Your Highness, I understand. But..." Xu Yanbo looked embarrassed at this time, and he was a little hesitant and didn't know how to speak.

"Look at your little potential. Just a few months after getting married, you have been so strictly controlled by Li Chuyuan. How many children do you expect to have? I think you might as well give up now." Li Hong Looking at Xu Yanbo's behavior after talking about business, we can see where the root of Xu Yanbo's illness lies.

"Your Highness, I have never thought about taking a concubine. It is enough for me to have the county master as my minister. I don't expect anything else."

"You're so dedicated, show me, right?"

"No, no, no, you are the prince. Your... family affairs are related to the well-being of the Tang Dynasty and the stability of the country. It should be done."
