With the collapse of the Wang family in Jinyang and the loss of prestige in the eyes of scholars in the world, the Wang family, who was slightly behind the five surnames and seven families in terms of influence, caught a glimmer of opportunity to go further. Therefore, they began to secretly communicate with the imperial court or the world's famous scholars, hoping to join the ranks of the five surnames.
Prestige, declaration, influence and details, especially the favor of scholars in the Han clan, and the influence on the common people are the criteria for the five surnames and seven families to become big names. If the Xiao family of Lanling wants to be among the five surnames, they can only choose to cooperate with the royal family, officials and scholars to achieve greater prestige.
And the most effective way is to make the high family have an effective influence on the poor scholars and ordinary people, and that is to do good deeds.
Fame and wealth market has always been the goal of high families. If the princes, sons and princes want to have a certain prestige among the people, they naturally need to pass it on from the common people to the scholars. Therefore, the idea of Xiao family in Lanling hit Li Sujie, king of Xu.
Li Sujie has always been loyal to Li Hong. He has always been grateful for Li Hong's efforts to save his mother's life and take care of the two sisters of Yiyang and Gao'an. Moreover, Li Hong has always been very kind to him and Li Shangjin.
It was also because of Li Hong's occasional help, which gave them enough convenience to make use of the advanced technology of Taiyi city in their fiefdoms to seek great benefits for the common people in their fiefs. Although their achievements were on the head of the senior officials, their achievements obviously satisfied Li Zhi.
Even the empress, who had never liked them, was able to give gifts to their children after they brought their families into the palace. This shows that they have been very satisfied with their achievements in recent years.
Li Hong looked at Li Sujie pouring tea for himself. He said with a smile: "every year, the government will release a batch of grain at a lower price to exchange for the money of private casting scattered among the people. This is what I learned when I spoke to the Secretary of the Si Nong temple after I served as Minister of the Ministry of household affairs. In fact, the imperial court did this to control the soaring prices."
"According to what you say, isn't it that what Xiao did is not against the imperial court? But I heard that even these three warehouses were secretly put into the people's Republic of China. But as for whether to recycle the old money, I'm afraid it is difficult to reach the following conclusion? " Li Sujie did not expect that Li Hong's attitude towards private money would become more tolerant.
"You don't know what the Xiao family is for. There are reasons why they are courting you. What's more, in view of the relationship between the mother and the imperial concubine, they naturally feel that you are closer to each other emotionally. But you tell me about Xiao's affairs. In a reasonable sense, you are betraying Xiao's family." Li Hong Chi Chi Chi chuckled twice, teasing Li Sujie.
Li Su Jie shrugged her lips in disapproval and said, "it's easy to say about Xiao's affairs. But I found that three warehouses in Luoyang are like this, so I'll tell you by secret letter. Otherwise, I don't know when I can use the letter channel you left me."
Li Hong frowned and bit his lips. Why did he say, "as you said, if Xiao's grain is put out or bought at a low price, as long as it doesn't disturb the market, it's to relieve the worries of the imperial court. We can't do anything about them. As for your statement that the three warehouses were secretly released grain, it is not that you do not believe you, but that we have no evidence at all. "
Li Sujie kept nodding along with Li Hong's words. Li Hong was right. It was a big deal. If one was not done well, it would not only make grain prices soar suddenly, but also make officials suddenly fall into self danger situation.
Looking at Li Sujie, he was also thinking. Li Hong continued: "Hanjia granary is what level you don't know. It's our royal granary! Who dares to move? Dare you? Or do I dare? Uncle Ji secretly woos you, but the problem is that he has nothing to do with this matter. He is not the only one who leads the prince of Henan Province from afar. Moreover, the relationship between that guy and his father and the emperor is extraordinary, which is known from his mother's mouth. We don't have evidence to move the barn? It's nothing to be cut off. I'll be beaten up. What do you do? At that time, I couldn't help myself. How could I protect you? "
"Can't you just give up? Although I don't know which warehouse it is, Li Sujie dares to guarantee it with his head. It must be greasy. The third one doesn't say that. There must be something wrong with it! After all, is it not for the purpose of confirming the evidence that the third old man will be granted land Li Sujie is a little worried. Over the years, he and Li Shangjin have not really helped the fifth brother Li Hong. He has always helped them both. Now that there are some opportunities to improve his prince's reputation, he is more anxious than the prince.
"I know. That's why I asked the third one to go back. We started from Luoyang. We couldn't lift such a big pot cover. We couldn't let him go back. We could pry a hole from the edge of the fief, and then we could slowly spy out what was fishy in it." Li Hong patted Li Sujie's hand on the opposite side and said comfortingly.
Li Sujie looked at Li Hong quietly, thought for a while and then said, "you are because I keep up with Jin? If we didn't find out, but you found it yourself, I'm afraid you would have lifted the lid of the three warehouses in your character? Now, because you have to take care of our integrity, you can only do it with full assurance, but it is so? "Li Hong picked up the pot to pour tea for Li Sujie and said slowly, "you are really boring. According to your words, you are still a drag on the two of you? But if it wasn't for you two, how could I know about it? Don't be so fussy about that. What's the use? After giving birth to a child, I'm even less daring. "
"Hey You've just finished giving birth to a child. I'm a prince. Will I have children? Am I timid? If you're timid, you won't be told. To tell you, I hope you can make a decision as soon as possible, and don't give up catching those who are rich in their own pockets because of our consideration. " Li Sujie snatched his cup and drank like a mouthful. The hot tea made him stand up from his chair and sprang about with his tongue outstretched.
He looked at Li Sujie who was jumping and jumping, spitting his tongue and breathing like a dog. Li Hong took a sip of tea and said with a smile: "by the way, you sit down and don't jump. If you want to discuss this matter with you in lanqi'er? "
"Crazy you! You think it's something you can do if you want to? Will the father and Emperor agree? Will the mother agree? Don't daydream. Qizhou is very good now. When you go out, the people will greet you. I have some reputation in Qizhou. Although I am the governor of Qizhou, I am also very important. " Li Sujie still has some sense of achievement when talking about Qizhou.
But when it comes to Lanling, he can't even think about it. What's the place there? It's Xiao's house, the mother's wife's home, one of the top gatekeepers.
At the beginning of his marriage, the father and the emperor did not agree to his mother's request. He asked for a marriage of Xiao's family for him. Now he allows himself to go to Lanling, which is not a daydream. What is it?
Li Hong didn't worry about relying on Xiao in Lanling, but what about his father and his mother? Will they think like Li Hong?
Looking at Li Sujie's incredible expression of shock, Li Hong didn't take it seriously: "when you were in the palace, you were also the prince who was loved by his father. You Li Sujie was smart and studious. My father often told me to learn from the fourth elder brother. Now, is it not that my father is happy to see you from the bottom of his heart? If this matter is verified and settled, you can go and ask the emperor for help. Then I'll play the sideline drum for you. I'm not sure it will come true. "
"Come on, you don't fool me. I'd rather lift the three big lids with you now than ask my father to seal me to Lanling. Fifth, if you throw me there, it's like baking me on the fire, and it's still a big fire with oil. Please do it, Prince. For the sake of Xiaomin's clues, please forgive Xiaomin A wife and children. " Li Sujie is no longer jumping feet, now he feels his heart is about to jump out of his throat.
"The crown prince has decided that this matter can be put on hold for the time being, but it can not be abandoned. If there is a chance, we still have to try it." Li Hong said with a smile that he was not afraid of the big things.
"Li Hong, I can tell you that Ji Wang and Xiao are very aggressive against me now. You'd better stop this year, although I didn't become that But I don't think I'm so firm. You know, this kind of thing is sometimes put up by someone unconsciously. When you wake up, you want to get off the ship and you can't get off. Isn't that how the boss got to Loulan by the Wang family of Jinyang? Yes? Where are the four towns in Anxi short of princes? Are you going to roast me in Lanling and then remove me to Anxi? " Li Sujie complained, but his expression was to the point.
Li Hong couldn't help nodding. The eldest one was smart, but he was mistaken. He thought that he had mastered his lifeblood of Li Hong. He secretly colluded with the Wang family in Jinyang. Moreover, the other four surnames were like that fly, so they came up to him. Unconsciously, they were taken as spokesmen.
He did not think that even if Li Hong collapsed in the end, even if he or the people behind the scenes became the emperor, would he not be the emperor controlled by the five surnames and seven families?
The first thing the father and his mother tried to do was to disintegrate the Guanlong group headed by the eldest sun Wuji, and then to weaken the influence of the five surnames and seven families. They hoped to form among the common people in the world, and the royal family was the most important one, followed by others? Isn't it to stabilize the continuous development of Li Tang's country!
