Li Hong sat down.

Zeng Xianglin looked at Jia Ping'an with pitiful eyes.

Isn't it good to not talk about this topic?

Jia Ping An ignored him, "What is needed to make decisions?"

Li Hong said: "Smart."

Jia Ping'an shook his head, "Countless smart people died on intelligence. So what I want to tell you is that any decision is based on extensive research. If something happens, if you want to make a decision, you must first investigate and ponder it. Once you have thoroughly pondered the matter, then make the most appropriate decision."

Li Hong was stunned for a moment.

Jia Ping'an smiled and said, "But I feel that many emperors make decisions just by slapping their heads?"

Li Hong nodded, "So did Hanwu."

"Yes." Jia Ping'an smiled encouragedly, "So Hanwu's decisions were all wrong. But people only saw his achievements in defeating the Huns and ignored his mistakes. But what if those decisions could be good?"

Li Hong returned to the palace with this question.

"Your Highness, it's time to observe politics."

There were really a lot of things happening to the prince, Li Hong nodded and left immediately.

The king and his subjects are discussing matters.

"Your Majesty, the prince is asking for a meeting."

"Why are you back?" Wu Empress whispered: "Did you encounter something outside?"

The prince came in and found his own place to sit down.

start!

Shangguan Yi, who was interrupted, continued: "... Last year, Qingzhou suffered floods, and His Majesty was exempted from taxes for half a year, so it should be collected this year... A military officer in Qingzhou wrote a letter, saying that it would be better to exempt from taxes for another half a year..."

Shangguan Yi looked up and said, "I think half a year is enough. I will exempt you for another half a year. In the future, all kinds of natural disasters will be sought. Local officials will gain a good reputation, but the court suffered a great loss."

Li Yifu nodded, "This wind cannot last!"

When Li Zhi saw the prince thinking, he asked, "What do you think about the prince?"

The prince stood up, "I want to ask Shangguan Gong, why did he make an offer for another half a year to be exempted from joining the army? I know that local officials must not be able to write letters beyond their ranks. Why is this joining the army like this?"

Shangguan Yi was stunned for a moment.

He glanced at the document, "This person said that last year, the floods in Gyeongzhou were quite serious, and the people were still seriously injured. They will be exempted for another half a year to rest with the people."

The prince glanced at the emperor, and the emperor nodded, indicating that he could continue.

The so-called political observation is to watch, just come with your ears and keep your mouth closed temporarily.

Li Hong said: "Then are the people of Qingzhou as he said?"

Shangguan Yi smiled and said, "The Governor of Qingzhou wrote a letter saying that the disaster relief in the court was timely last year, and the people of Qingzhou were excited. This year, they have recovered their vitality and can pay taxes."

Li Hong asked again, "Can the court send someone to check?"

Shangguan Yi: "..."

Li Yifu smiled and said, "Your Highness, the Tang Dynasty is too big, and many things will happen in the world every day. We will do our best to plan for everything, but we cannot check everything, otherwise we will not have to do this."

Everyone laughed.

Li Hong asked, "In other words, the basis for decision-making in the court is the words of officials. What if someone lies?"

Li Yifu said: "Then I will punish you."

Li Hong shook his head, "But what about the suffering the people suffer? The people suffer in vain? Even if they cannot be investigated in advance, can they not be checked afterwards? Li Xiang said that there are too many things, but I have been observing politics for a long time, and I know that most things do not need to be checked.

Just talk about the exemption of taxes in Qingzhou today. Qingzhou is not far from Chang'an. If a censor or a minor official is sent to investigate? If the people have indeed recovered their vitality, this is the issue of recording. He should be dealt with. If the people are still suffering, the governor of Qingzhou will be dereliction of duty. This person should not be used more! He should even be dealt with!"

The boy's face was a little red, "I thought I should check it!"

Shangguan Yi glanced at the emperor.

"His Majesty!"

The prince exploded, how should he deal with it?

Li Yifu said with some dissatisfaction: "Your Highness is a little extreme, I think it is... the same lineage."

The prince's eyes lit up suddenly, "Does Li Xiang want to say that his uncle has made Orphan become extreme?"

Li Yifu glanced at the queen and then went silent.

This is the default!

The prince's face turned red, "Does Li Xiangke know what is going on in Qingzhou? If you don't know, why dare to assert that the people of Qingzhou have recovered?"

Li Yifu was silent.

Shangguan Yi smiled and said, "Although your highness is a little anxious, he is kind."

Prince, please stop making trouble?

Empress Wu whispered: "Your Majesty..."

My son is going to be bullied.

There is nothing right or wrong at this moment!

All that is to protect the calf!

The emperor said lightly: "So... Wang Zhongliang."

Wang Zhongliang stepped forward, "Your Majesty."

The emperor said: "Let the censor Yang Deli go to Qingzhou for verification, go and return quickly!"

The meeting ends!

No!

"Scattered!"

The king and his subjects disperse!

The prince walked ahead.

Li Yifu whispered: "Jia Ping'an is back."

As soon as Jia Ping'an came back, the prince had something to do. He should keep him away from the prince!

Shangguan Yi agreed, "Your Highness should be safe!"

You are not the emperor, and you have your father and mother above your head. Why do you force the prime minister like this?

This is what the prime ministers are dissatisfied with.

To observe politics, you just squat on the side and listen, and you have to ask the prime minister for the problem!

The prince left firmly.

Li Yifu smiled and said, "It is a good thing to suffer some losses as a national reserve!"

Shangguan Yi praised: "This is very true."

The depressed Xu Jingzong sneered: "Shangguan Xianggong seems to be very compatible with Li Xiang!"

Shangguan Yi was stunned for a moment, "Haha! They are all colleagues!"

He is the emperor's dog, and so is Li Yi's house. However, the dog in Li Yi's house is relatively unrestrained, while Shangguan Yi is more conservative.

They are all dogs!

Who is more noble than who?

Li Yifu looked at the prince's back and said, "A lot of things cannot be done, you must admit your mistake!"

This is a hidden hint.

...

"Censor Yang!"

Yang Deli's life in the Censorate was very good, and he was reading documents at this moment.

"who?"

He asked with his head up.

A slight official came in outside.

"Your Majesty ordered you to go to Gyeongju..."

Yang Deli took on the task and followed other people's methods... For example, after receiving the order from the late emperor to ask him to work in Diezhou, he left the imperial city and went straight to Diezhou, without even passing by his doorstep.

But Youngley went home first.

Both daughters and son are at home.

"My wife, I'm going to Qingzhou. You are taking your children at home, looking for your parents-in-law and mother-in-law in small matters, and looking for peace in big matters!"

Yang Deli hurriedly finished the explanation and went to the kitchen to pick up a row of rice dumplings.

Aunt Wang followed and said anxiously: "Husband, the rice dumplings are cold! I'll give you heat."

Yang Deli went out and said, "When I had cold rice, Ping'an and I were so happy. This rice dumpling can be eaten even after half a month of cold. Don't worry, I'll be able to take my children at home, so I'll come when I go."

Yang Deli set out with a string of cooked rice dumplings.

Four days later he arrived in Gyeongju.

The official Gyeongju came to welcome him.
