My Life in Dakang's Salt Fish in the Main Text Volume Chapter 293: King Shou is a Threat! [First Update! Please Subscribe!] Late at night, Prince's Dormitory.

In a room, the best charcoal was lit and the whole room was roasted hot.

The prince, who had been busy all day, was lying on the bed, allowing the palace maids to give him essential oil and massage.

His head is very painful now. Thousands of numbers have poured into his mind these days, and he can't forget it even if he wants to.

"Xikang suffered 7 million mu of crops, more than 6,400 collapsed houses, and more than one million people affected by the disaster. The Southwest Governor Ge Songdao requested exemption from taxes and labor in Xikang Province this year."

"The area of ​​crops affected in Hubei is 19 million mu, and more than 52,000 houses damaged by collapse are more than 5 million people affected. The situation in Hunan is even worse. Therefore, I beg to exempt the tax and labor this year, and I urgently ask for 8 million taels of disaster relief silver to clean up water conservancy, repair roads, etc.."

“Anhui…”

"Jiangxi..."

Even though the massage was very comfortable, the prince couldn't help but murmuring out these numbers.

In the eyes of the imperial court, numbers are numbers, but as the prince who participated in such a large overall incident in the country for the first time, it was simply shocking.

He could not ignore so many disasters and so many people suffered.

Last summer, he went to the Two Lakes to provide disaster relief, and he knew deeply how hard the people at the bottom were.

Because the prince mixed with bran into the grain, he accidentally killed Ge Chi, the little official guarding the warehouse. However, he really went deep into the people and found that everyone was grateful to eat bran porridge.

"It's not delicious? What's the matter if it's not delicious? If you eat bran porridge every day, the family can survive. It's already the great kindness of the emperor and the prince. How dare you complain at all?"

This is the words of one of the old men who were over 60 o'clock in the morning who answered the prince like this.

He still remembers it clearly now.

I remember to remember the sincere gratitude smiles of their family.

So during this heavy snowfall, the prince understood that at least tens of millions of families suffered such suffering.

He wanted to help everyone, but his suggestions and strategies were almost refuted by the Prime Minister and the Ministers.

right.

It's a rebuttal.

This kind of thing has always happened in the Great Kang Dynasty. When Taizu dealt with government affairs, he was often rejected by his subordinates.

From Taizu, I knew that it would be very dangerous to govern the world with one person's strength, so there were only three or five prime ministers, five or seven, plus the six ministers and others, and we discussed it together.

This fine tradition has been passed down to this day.

The prince was refuted by them so he simply spoke less.

But seeing them dealing with it so simply and rudely, the prince always felt uncomfortable.

While thinking about it here, a eunuch suddenly came outside and reported, "Your Highness, Master Li, ask for a visit."

"Let him come in." The prince said with all his might.

Li Fan quickly walked in, looked at the palace maid who was giving the prince a massage, and said calmly: "Your Highness, if you have something to report to me, please leave me."

The prince frowned and waved to the palace maid, "You go down first, I'll call you in later."

"yes!"

The palace maid retreated and brought it to the door.

Li Fan did not hesitate, and arrived in front of him and said, "Your Highness, do you know about King Shou?"

The prince shook his head: "Ming'an? What's wrong?"

Li Fan said: "He went to kneel at the door of the emperor's bedroom today, kowtowed three times and left. The emperor asked Eunuch Zhao to ask him why he did this.

He said, 'I should have visited my father when I was sick, but the imperial doctor said that my father needed to rest again, so my son could only pray for my father to recover soon'."

The prince was happy, "I'm afraid this is not what he thought? Can he have this idea? It's probably because Mingqi forced him to go with a whip."

When Li Fan saw his appearance, he felt a little angry: "Your Highness, why are you not the point of concern? He is pleasing Your Majesty! He is competing for favor! This King of Shou is punished!!"

"No, no, no."

The prince sat up and looked at Li Fan and said, "Gao Jun, let's not talk about the past. But Ming'an is absolutely no threat to me. He is a seven-year-old boy who is irritable and absurd on weekdays. How could he replace me?

Do you want this rule? So, don’t be too nervous, don’t keep thinking about him, it’s meaningless. If you have time, you can help me sort out the affairs of the court these days, but it hurts my head!”

Li Fan disagreed, "Your Highness, I'm not worried about the King of Shou, but Liu Mingqi is standing behind King of Shou! If such a new saint openly supports King of Shou, what would your Majesty and the ministers think? Even if there is a little threat, we should strangle it to death first, and don't give him a chance to grow and grow!"

The prince nodded and shook his head again: "Mingqi is indeed a person respected by both inside and outside the court. During this period, many literati in many places have been teleporting and worshiping his "Encouraging Learning". I never thought that after he fell into the water, he would have such sudden talent and learning. It was simply a gift from God!

But you don’t have to worry too much about him and Ming’an. Didn’t you say it last time? Concubine Chen has cried to his father many times, and Mingqi beat and scolded Ming’an, and she didn’t look like a gentleman at all.

From this point of view, we can see that he did not really want to teach the prince, but his father asked him to lose Ming'an's character, so he took on this responsibility temporarily.

After a few years, after he was officially rewarded, or after entering the clan mansion to assist Uncle Su Wang to do business, it would be impossible to teach Ming'an.

With Ming'an's personality, if there was no strong person like Mingqi suppressing him, would you say he could study hard? Even if he studied hard, could he still make a fortune in this world?"

Li Fan said in surprise: "King Yu is in such a good health, less than forty years old, can't it be possible? Liu Mingqi wants to inherit the title of Prince of County?"

The prince hesitated for a moment and decided to tell the truth to his first confidant: "This time, Mingqi made great contributions, so the elders all suggested that he be given a high title, but the father refused for the time being, and he wanted to talk about it in a few years. But if there was no accident, Mingqi would get a title of prince."

"Prince?" Li Fan shook his head, "Tsk tsk, he is so lucky."

The Dakang Dynasty had several times promoted princes to princes, which was not the first time.

But Liu Mingqi was only sixteen years old and was about to become a prince in her twenties. Then there were two princes in the Yu Mansion, which was really honorable.

The prince continued, "Besides, you have not calculated clearly, Gao Shi."

"Please say this!"

"In ancient times, Emperor Taizong of Tang could use Wei Zheng, the loyal minister of the former crown prince. What can I not use Mingqi? After I inherited the throne, a talent like Mingqi should be my strong arm help. Don't worry about his second intentions, so what's wrong with it?" said the prince, "He can't threaten anyone's status at all, so you can rest assured!"

Li Fan panicked and quickly bowed his waist and said, "Your Highness, I don't mean that."

"Haha, of course you don't mean this. I know your intention." The prince smiled, "But you have to tell Changhui and the others more so that they can relax their minds... As long as we don't make mistakes, no one can target us, what do you think?"

Li Fan was shocked.

He immediately bowed to the end again: "Your Highness is wise, and you understand the humble position!"

The prince laughed, "Gao Shi, I think you can take the imperial examination again, otherwise you won't be a cabinet master in the future."

As a prince, if someone knows this, he will definitely be impeached if he says such words.

Before you ascend the throne to the emperor, you began to make a wish for the Prime Minister of the Pavilion?

What kind of convention does this become?!

Can the emperor decide the addition of the Prime Minister of the Pavilion?!

But that's what the prince thought in his heart. Li Fan was his most loyal confidant who would never betray him. If such a person becomes the deputy prime minister, he must have a great influence on his court.

Li Fan is currently just a juren, and he can be a six-department minister. Today, Wu Yu, the Minister of Works, is a juren. He did not participate in the palace examination and was not a Jinshi.

But entering the cabinet will definitely require a Jinshi of Class 3.

Hearing this, Li Fan said, "Your Highness, my talents are not suitable for dealing with such a heavy business as the court. In the future, I will be satisfied if I help you guard the Ministry of Internal Affairs."

"Your talents are far more than that... Forget it, I won't talk about it for the time being, anyway, it's still a long time." The prince shook his hand, "You're here, please help me understand the government affairs in the past few days.

To be honest, I was so dizzy by them. By the way, your father, Li Xiutai, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, has rejected several of my suggestions in a row. I am so depressed!"

The Minister of Personnel is known as the "Heavenly Official of the Ministry of Personnel", the leader of the six ministries and has always been powerful.

Li Xiutai is even more powerful in character. Many times, even the prime ministers have to contradict each other and have quarreled with Zhong Chang for more than a dozen times.

In other words, his old boss, Ma Haoqiu, can take care of him a little.

Recently, in the handling of the government, the prince repeatedly made mistakes and made wrong suggestions, but was directly rejected by Li Xiutai, which made the prince quite embarrassed.

He thought to himself, your eldest son is still my minister of the Eastern Palace, why don’t you give me any face?

It is really difficult for young people to do something.

He was enthusiastically proposing the suggestions he thought were the best, but was scolded by the elderly and felt that he was unstable.

This will have a great blow to the prince.

Fortunately, his personality is not violent, so he can still bear it.

When Li Fan heard the prince’s complaints, he also smiled bitterly: “Your Highness, he is not targeting you, he has always had this personality! I am still scolded like my grandson at home?”

The two suddenly felt a little sick and felt sorry for each other. After looking at each other, they started to laugh.
