Chapter 302 Pretending to be a grandson is more thorough
"Your Majesty, Gong Yuedao's army is returning one after another. General Liang and General Qi Bi are on their way and will arrive in Chang'an in a few days."
This good news shook the hearts of the monarchs and ministers.
Li Zhi was lazy for half a day and went to the harem.
"Your Majesty, Zhaoyi is in good health, which is rare among women." The medical officer finished his pulse diagnosis and gave a result that made both Wu Mei and Li Zhi feel good.
Li Zhi said with a smile: "Some people outside say that the new learning is the remnant of a hundred learning, the soul of the sword, and the aggressive..."
Wu Mei knew about this, but she was beyond her reach.
"Jia Pingan remained calm. When those people were complacent, they suddenly found the relatives of Liang Jianfang's family and invited the math students to go home, and then found out that the servants at home had embezzled a lot of money..."
This is to lure it!
Wu Mei slightly raised her eyebrows, feeling relieved.
"The dignitaries!" There was contempt in Li Zhi's eyes, "Those dignitaries swarmed in, and the students of arithmetic were invited there overnight, which can be called Luoyang paper expensive. In the end, most of them found out that there was a problem with the accounts at home, so... attacked Undefeated but defeated, I am very familiar with such methods."
After he left, Wu Mei stood outside the door and watched him off.
"Zhaoyi, Uncle Wuyang is very skilled and can help you." Zhang Tianxia couldn't help but recall the Jia Pingan he met that time.
"Arm help?" Wu Mei smiled, "I never thought that he could be so calm. Those people were clamoring, wanting to kill Xinxue, wanting to kill him. I was anxious about this in the palace, thinking Ask His Majesty for help, but I know that the emperor is ruthless..."
She turned around slowly, her eyes were calm, "I was struggling in the palace, he was struggling outside the palace, I was looking to the distance, what is he for? New learning. It is a good thing for a man to focus on learning. If he can make new learning blossom and bear fruit , will go down in history. So…”
She rubbed her belly, "How good would it be if this child were a boy?"
Zhang Tianxia was shocked, "Zhaoyi, after all, there are still many Confucianists in the world. If this child is allowed to learn new learning, there will be many opponents."
Wu Mei smiled, "Actually... whether you agree or disagree is false."
So what is real?
Zhang Tianxia was puzzled.
Wu Mei walked in slowly, clenched her right fist.
"Zhaoyi!"
Zhou Qing came back, and said excitedly: "The servant girl found out the news. Concubine Xiao Shu scolded the queen today, saying that the queen has no children, and she will leave sooner or later."
A queen without heirs is a chicken that cannot lay eggs, and a chicken that cannot lay eggs will be chopped up by the master sooner or later.
This is the simplest truth.
The queen was anxious.
"Even that **** Wu Mei is pregnant, but I haven't made any movement. There are already discussions outside."
Cai Yan was also quite anxious, "Queen, this matter must be taken seriously, or...please ask some medical officers to come and see again?"
"How many times have you seen it?" Recalling the process of her own treatment, Queen Wang felt a little unbearable, "I don't know how many medicines I have taken, but they are useless."
"Queen, Mrs. Xiao is here."
Queen Wang said coldly: "Shoot out!"
There was a chicken feather all over the palace, and Liu Shi also felt it.
"The queen has no children, this is a big taboo!"
Liu Xun was anxious. If there was something wrong with the Queen, he would not be able to sit still as a prime minister. .
In the evening, he drank with his confidants.
"It's a pity that the queen is so virtuous, but she has no children, which makes this old man extremely uneasy."
The confidant blinked his eyes, thinking of a way while drinking.
"Sir, there is a way."
"What is the solution?"
The confidant said: "The queen has been in the palace for many years without a child, so there is no fate. Since this is the case... I heard that the birth mother of King Chen was humble, but she was valued by His Majesty, and she was named the Shepherd of Yongzhou. It's a big disadvantage, if the queen..."
"If the empress wins over King Chen, he will naturally be happy, and his mother will also be happy. In this way, the empress has something to rely on, and so does King Chen, wonderful!"
Liu Shi felt that this was a win-win situation, so he couldn't help being overjoyed, and got drunk that night.
The next day he let his wife enter the palace.
"Chen Wang?"
Queen Wang only felt that a bolt of lightning had hit her.
"Chen Wang's biological mother, Liu Shi, is humble. If I say that I want to accept Chen Wang as a fake son, how dare she say no?"
Empress Wang was overjoyed, "Uncle is more considerate for me, good!"
Turning around, she asked someone to call Chen Wang Li Zhong.
Nine-year-old Li Zhong looked like a young adult, saluting well.
"Good boy, come here so I can take a look." Empress Wang's eyes were full of love.
Li Zhong walked slowly, a little timidly.
"A good boy."
Queen Wang then went to see Li Zhi.
"Chen Wang?" Li Zhi said noncommittally, "I really want to think about it."
…
"I met Uncle Wuyang."
The internal morale of Mathematics was high, and Jia Ping'an was welcomed almost like a star chaser as soon as he came.
After one class, the students benefited a lot. Someone chased Jia Pingan and asked, "Uncle Wu Yang, you said earlier that the tax law is equal to or even higher than the national law. Why?"
Jia Pingan stopped, and a group of students surrounded him behind him.
Looking at these studious students, Jia Ping'an felt very relieved, "Whether it is the Qin and Han Dynasties or the Tang Dynasty, what is the foundation of a country?"
"Force!"
This answer is reliable, but Jia Pingan just smiled.
"culture."
This is also reliable, Jia Pingan feels that the students he teaches are really extraordinary.
but…
"The foundation of a country lies in taxes!" Jia Pingan has read history books. The collapse of a country is always the beginning of financial collapse. Well, but if the finances collapse, so will the army..."
The former Han Dynasty fell on natural disasters, but the root cause was lack of money and food.
The follow-up of Datang actually fell on money and food.
Da Song is better, but the finances are still on the verge of collapse.
Not to mention the Ming Dynasty, who couldn’t even afford military pay, and suffered disasters everywhere, and had no money and food, and eventually civil upheavals broke out everywhere.
But what is the root cause of the lack of money and food?
"If the tax cannot be collected, if someone avoids the tax, there will be a shortage of money and food. When this trend comes together, do you remember the old man?"
"Remember!"
"What happened to the Yellow Turban in the former Han Dynasty? It was because there was no money and food, so the people waited for food under natural disasters, and finally rose up." This is an endless cycle, but the former Han really had no money? Yes, money and food are in the hands of those people. But those people won't give anything to help the disaster..."
Someone understood Jia Ping'an's meaning and said: "Marquis Wuyang, if the tax revenue decreases, the Tang Dynasty will be helpless in the event of natural disasters. The money used by the court will also be stretched, so...the country will lose its power."
This is true.
Jia Ping'an was very pleased and said: "That's why someone said that tax is the first. If there is a problem with tax, it is digging the foundation of Datang."
The subsequent corruption of the Fubing system was partly due to land annexation.
And Datang's biggest problem is fleeing households.
Those dignitaries and temples are the two big groups lying on the body of Datang to **** blood.
Datang continued to decline all the way, the biggest problem is still the lack of money and food.
The land is constantly being merged, and the slow increase in the number of households makes the Minister of the Ministry of Finance want to hang himself, as if no one in the world has children and no separation of families.
Finally, when the land was concentrated in the hands of the dignitaries and temples on a large scale, the Tang Dynasty became ill.
The so-called land equalization system has also become a joke. There is no land, how to grant land?
But the new population needs land to cultivate!
This contradiction cannot be resolved, even if there is no An Lushan, there will be Wang Lushan. In addition, Xuanzong was fatuous in his later years and liked to enjoy himself. It is no wonder that the Tang Dynasty did not decline and die, as the clan's dignitaries had more money and who was more extravagant.
Jia Pingan felt that even though Huang Chao was bad in every way, the only good thing was to get rid of those so-called elites.
Seeing the thoughtful looks of the students, he knew that the bad medicine he gave to those people was enlightenment. In the future, these students will continue to study in this direction, and finally they will be able to analyze the root cause of Datang's financial problems, and then the world will suddenly realize who is Datang's gravedigger.
And the poor emperors will sharpen their swords and force those people to hand over the annexed land.
Thinking of this scene, Jia Ping'an was very happy.
He felt like an assassin, one hit and go.
And no one knows that the reason for leveraging Datang's tax reform is today.
"Thank you Uncle Wuyang for clarifying the confusion." The students bowed, feeling that Jia Ping'an's eyes were shining like a torch, and he explained the truth of the rise and fall of the country from another angle, and he was indeed a great talent.
After hearing these words, Xiao Bo sighed to Chen Bao: "I regret it."
Chen Bao asked, "Why?"
Xiao Bo thought of the current situation of his children and grandchildren at home, and couldn’t help feeling very disappointed, “It might have been better if we let our children and grandchildren learn from Jia Ping’an.”
Chen Bao thought of his son Chen Xiang's performance, and felt embarrassed, "Why do you have to sacrifice wine like this, I heard that the children who sacrificed wine are all outstanding..."
"It's useless!" Xiao Bo swears in a rare way: "I write poems and articles at home all day long, but when I ask about the ways of the world, I don't know much."
Later, these comments were reported to Li Zhi.
"Tax?"
As the emperor, Li Zhi naturally knew the plight of Datang.
"Jia Pingan's words are very true."
Li Zhi was thinking about it.
Liang Jianfang entered Chang'an City in this kind of thinking.
Carnival!
Groups of leaders were brought in, and the monarchs and ministers watched it together.
Jia Ping'an was also invited.
"Masters, drink this cup to the brim!"
Li Zhi toasted with a red face.
Everyone toasted and drank.
"Lu Guogong, hahahaha!"
Everyone here at Jia Ping’an is full of small shrimps, which cannot be compared with the bosses.
Liang Jianfang came with a wine jar, and the officials nearby got up quickly.
"Xiao Jia!"
Jia Ping'an is shrinking back.
Li Zhi couldn't help laughing when he saw it: "Sure enough, no matter how talented you are, I'm afraid that General Liang will drink too much, so let's drink more!"
Jia Ping’an was caught by Liang Jianfang, and quickly expressed his opinion, “Drink it yourself!”
He didn't want to be the first person to be choked to death by alcohol, so he took the initiative to die.
But the wine jar is too big.
Lao Liang didn’t mean to trick me?
"drink!"
"Yes, drink it quickly!"
Even Changsun Wuji was booing, and all the old guys were laughing and booing.
When looking at the broom star in distress, how can I not add more firewood?
Jia Pingan gritted his teeth, picked up the jar and poured it.
"Hahahaha!" Everyone couldn't help laughing.
After drinking, Jia Ping'an felt fine.
Could it be that my drinking capacity has suddenly soared?
Jia Pingan was a little excited.
In the army, once you celebrate your victory, you have to drink, even if you don’t know how to drink, you have to drink, otherwise your comrades will look down on you. Jia Pingan suffered a loss last time, and wished he could get some hangover medicine. .
Gradually, he became excited.
Why is no one dancing?
Just as Jia Pingan wanted to coax him, Li Zhi put down his wine glass and stood up.
"Misters!"
Everyone fell silent.
Li Zhi looked at the courtiers, and the trembling when he ascended the throne dissipated.
I finally survived.
"This battle is a big victory, I want to ask Ashina Helu, why did my warrior run so fast when I saw my warrior..."
"Ha ha ha ha!"
Everyone couldn't help laughing wildly.
"The Great Tang established the country for decades and defeated countless opponents, but there are still people who want to test whether the blade of the Great Tang is still sharp. For such people, I have one idea...to wipe them out!"
Everyone is in awe.
Li Zhi walked down, "Korea is staring at Datang, I know it all; there are also Tubo, ambitious people want to tear flesh and blood from Datang, I want to tell these people, Datang is ready, dare to come Offender, no, if you dare to disrespect the Tang Dynasty, the heavenly soldiers will arrive sooner or later, and the country will be destroyed!"
Jia Pingan couldn't help raising his arms and shouting: "Long live the Tang Dynasty!"
In an instant, the atmosphere in the hall exploded.
"Long live the Tang Dynasty!"
drink!
Altars of wine and water were brought in. Jia Pingan didn't know who he drank with. It seemed that it was Changsun Wuji once?
What the hell.
"Misters!"
Li Zhi also got drunk, and after clapping his hands, he started dancing.
He jumped and looked at the officials.
This is an invitation.
Let's have fun together.
This is Datang's ball.
Changsun Wuji went happily.
Li Ji smiled and danced.
Jia Pingan was pulled up in shame, and then danced in shame.
Finally, the monarch and his subjects returned home happily.
Jia Ping'an left the palace and felt a little dizzy after getting on A Bao.
"Uncle Wuyang!"
Someone called from behind, Jia Pingan turned around and saw that it was Zhu Tao, the young minister of Honghe Temple, so he dismounted and cupped his hands, "I have seen Zhu Shaoqing."
Zhu Tao is talking to someone, and that person...
Jia Pingan felt that the taste was not right.
"This is…"
Zhu Tao introduced: "This is Kim Famin, the envoy of Silla."
"It's been a few months, and I'm still in Chang'an." Jia Ping'an said with some dissatisfaction, "Could it be that I'm just making a living?"
These envoys have all come to court to congratulate, but they are still staying in Chang'an, either **** or robbery.
He drank too much and said casually, but Jin Famin was angry, "Zhu Shaoqing, who is this person?"
Zhu Tao said calmly: "Wuyang Bojia is safe."
Jin Famin became more and more angry, "Your Majesty loves Silla so much, but this Marquis of Wuyang despises foreign ministers, and asks Zhu Shaoqing to tell His Majesty to make decisions for foreign ministers."
"Are you still putting your nose on the face?" Jia Pingan hiccupped, "Silla...While flirting with the country of Wa, while looking at the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty, he came to pretend to be a grandson. If he turns around and gets benefits, he will immediately turn his face. Recognize people, the country of villains!"
"Hey!" Jin Famin let out a sharp hey, "I want to meet His Majesty!"
This is a great shame!
Jia Pingan said contemptuously: "It's more thorough to pretend to be a grandson, don't... Jin Famin?"
Fuck!
This name sounds familiar!
Jia Pingan remembered, isn’t this guy the so-called King of Civil and Military Affairs in Silla?
After Datang destroyed Goryeo and Silla, the ambition of the King of Civil and Military expanded. While supporting the remnants of Goryeo to cause trouble for Datang, he finally went into battle shirtless...
Thinking of this, Jia Pingan sneered and said: "Silla is surrounded by tigers and wolves, and they want to use Datang to fight for themselves, but if Datang destroys Goryeo, it will be the time when Silla and Datang will turn against each other. Such a careful thought, you Who do you think you can hide from?"
Datang’s biggest problem is playing high profile. After destroying Goryeo and Baekje, Silla was obviously indifferent, and kept making small moves. At that time, it was time to act decisively.
Zhu Tao was surprised and said, "Why did the Marquis of Wuyang say that?"
"Zhu Shaoqing doesn't know something..." Jia Pingan squinted at Jin Famin, "Don't think that Datang can take advantage of the fire for Silla, and then Silla can take advantage of the situation. I'm telling you... put away those little thoughts earlier, otherwise the big Tang can slap Silla to death!"
Whether it is Queen Seondeok or Queen Silla, in the eyes of the rulers of Silla, Datang is a stick, a fool who takes chestnuts for himself.
Jin Famin's face was pale, "Zhu Shaoqing, foreign minister please resign."
Zhu Tao frowned, Jia Pingan smiled and said: "Zhu Shaoqing just told His Majesty about this matter, he is making gestures at this moment, and he must be anxious after returning, and then he became more and more determined."
He thoroughly dissected the small thoughts of the Silla people, and went to A Bao himself, "Let's go!"
Jin Famin returned to the station.
The entourage gathered together, and Jin Famin said in a deep voice, "Who speaks unscrupulously outside?"
Everyone shook their heads.
Jin Famin clapped the case, and said angrily: "The Tang people said that Silla has ulterior motives and wants to use Datang wholeheartedly, and then he will turn against Datang. Who said that?"
Everyone shook their heads one after another, and someone said: "The Tang Dynasty is strong, how can Silla dare to turn against the Tang Dynasty?"
Jin Famin lowered his eyes, and the sharpness in his eyes flashed past.
"Whoever talks nonsense, kill, and the whole family will be slaves!"
Then he went to see Li Zhi.
"Your Majesty has something to do."
Li Zhi refused to see him.
At this moment, the veterans gathered together and looked at the map.
"Koryo still can't make a big fight. The veteran thinks that it's better to wait for Goryeo, Baekje, and Silla to fight together before starting."
After hearing Zhu Tao's report, Liu Xun said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, Jia Ping'an insulted the envoy with his words, and you should be reprimanded."
Li Ji said: "This statement is wrong. Silla traveled among the countries, and the old man agrees with Jia Ping'an's words."
Li Zhi took a sip of hangover soup, and said lightly: "Jin Famin stayed in Chang'an, begging again and again, saying that Baekje and Goryeo colluded and continuously invaded Silla. This is to persuade Tang Dynasty to take the initiative to send troops, and his intentions are unpredictable..."
The emperor is indeed sober!
Li Ji was delighted, thinking that with such an emperor, the future of Datang would be bright.
Liu Shi said: "Your Majesty, Datang needs Silla to hold back Baekje and Goryeo."
"If Goryeo wants to attack Silla, it will be too late for Tang to rescue." Li Zhi sneered and said, "Jin Famin thought I was confused? He even used such lies to confuse me."
Liang Jianfang was furious, "Your Majesty, you should reprimand Jin Famin."
Changsun Wuji said indifferently: "Why do you need to reprimand? A batch of weapons should have been given to Silla this year, just stop them."
Li Ji said with gentle eyes: "I think it's too much..."
Everyone looked at Li Ji and thought that the British gentleman was crazy.
Li Ji smiled and said, "Why don't you give Baekje some good looks?"
This sinister guy!
Everyone couldn't help laughing.
Liu Shi said: "But it is not good to humiliate the messenger after all."
"What's wrong?" Li Zhi got up and walked to the map, looked at the situation on the peninsula, raised his head and said: "My ministers, if I can punish, the envoys from foreign vassals are also worthy?"
Li Zhi turned around, "Come here."
"Your Majesty." Someone stepped forward.
Li Zhi looked disdainfully between his eyebrows, and ordered: "Reward Jia Ping'an with a good knife and a good horse."
