Seventy Dragon Scale (eight)

After being punched, the prince felt particularly aggrieved. He was almost fifteen years old. There were also people in the folk who seemed to be a father at his age. But his eyes were red by the punch, and he felt aggrieved as if he was bullied by Linglong when he was a child. It seemed that the golden beans would fall out in the next second.

The Empress was in a heavy mood, and she made these two young people laugh and cry. She said to Linglong, "Okay, don't tease Yongjia anymore. Yongjia is the same, so is it, how is it like crying? Your sister Linglong is right, marry you as the Crown Princess, and you have to face your crybag all day long. Who can stand it?"

When the prince heard this, he felt insulted, "My mother! I'm not a crybaby!"

"It's weird if you don't." The Queen unceremoniously dismantled her son's stand. "Your sister Linglong left Beijing back then, who secretly hid in the quilt and cried for half a month? Who was shed tears after receiving her letter of peace? This is me, your biological mother, otherwise she would have despised you to death."

The prince, who was revealed to be black history, stopped crying immediately. He was so angry that he stood up and ran away.

Looking at his back as he ran away, the queen gently touched the head of the girl in her arms and said softly, "Yongjia will figure it out. Linglong will do whatever she wants. No one can force my Linglong to do what she doesn't want to do."

She felt a little relieved in her heart, after Linglong refused to become the crown princess.

She also didn't want her beloved child to be like herself, from the Crown Princess to the Queen, day after day, year after year, to work hard for the word "virtue". Looking back on this life, she actually forgot what she is. When she was the happiest time, it was the time when the emperor was in the residence and when she first married into the royal palace. At that time... it was really affectionate, and the couple was in love. Maybe after the moon and the moon, she swore a vow. At that time, she felt that she could be happy for a lifetime, but it was not possible.

There will be concubines, concubines, and ambitions. She will never be the first.

For a man, the oath he made at that time might be sincere, but as time goes by, his heart will be replaced by something more important. Even if a woman loves, after marrying him, she will be limited to the back house and cannot escape or hide. Over time, the pearl will become fish eyes and will no longer be worth cherishing. And there are always younger and more beautiful women around him.

After realizing this, the Empress no longer had extravagant hopes for the emperor. Before she treated him as her husband, she first regarded him as the emperor. After years of hard work, the deep affection gradually disappeared. Now she was sleeping with the emperor, and her heart would no longer be beat faster. Faced with his sweet words, she no longer blushed, but could quietly forget it if she heard it.

She regards the identity of the queen as a profession. As the emperor grows older, the prince is young and energetic, and the once close father and son are gradually drifting away. This is why Linglong said that if they want them, mother and son no longer have to rely on the emperor.

When people get old, they will be confused.

But she didn't want Linglong to be her second self. The queen seemed to be glorious, but what was left in the end? The happiness of this life seemed to be overdrawn in the few months of marriage. In the years that followed, Linglong made her rekindle her passion for life. Whether Linglong would like to marry the prince, what's the point? As long as Linglong is happy, she will do whatever she wants.

Could it be that Linglong will have no support if he doesn’t marry the prince? Can the prince’s children ignore Linglong in the future?

Since you don't know, just follow her wishes.

Linglong was pressed into the empress's arms, and she happily reached out to hug the empress's waist. When she was still in her infancy, she was sent to the empress. The most noble woman in the world was like the most ordinary mother, holding her and coaxing her. When she cried at night, she would get up immediately no matter how deep she slept. As long as it was about Linglong, she would never use her hands to others. Linglong felt that the empress spent much more effort on herself than the prince.

Even if there is no blood relationship, it will create unbreakable bonds.

She wants to bless such people, which is Linglong’s choice.

When he learned that Linglong didn't want to be the crown princess, the emperor did not express his regret, but accepted it happily. In fact, both the queen and Linglong could see that the emperor's health has become worse and weaker in recent years. When Concubine De blew the pillow style to him, he could immediately reuse the eldest prince and secretly support the eldest prince in the court to compete with the crown prince. However, Linglong's failure to be the crown prince's concubine means that the Duke Cheng's mansion was not tied to the same boat with the queen and the prince, or was still a pure minister, or was only loyal to him.

This may be the case with Duke Cheng Guo, but the Duke Cheng Guo Shiwowo obviously has his own ideas.

However, when facing the emperor, Linglong also knew how to deal with him. She knew in front of the emperor when she would become a minister and when she would be a junior. Her mouth was sweet. When it came to cheering people, how could Concubine De compare with him? Therefore, every time Concubine De finished blowing the pillow wind, Linglong could always push her back without any trace. The result was that the eldest prince felt the most vivid, that was, the father was cold and hot, and he was close and far, making him confused in all kinds of ways.

The prince continued to do his own duties, not coveting the power in the hands of the emperor, nor competing with the eldest prince. This attitude of not fighting or robbing aroused the emperor's favor and reminded him of how proud this legitimate son once made him.

He has soft ears, not a fool.

Concubine De obviously hated Linglong very much, and her biological brother was destroyed in Linglong's hands, and the power of her parents' family plummeted. They were all caused by the little bitch taught by the queen! She wanted to teach Linglong a lesson, but there was no way. When she was excited, she was insulted by the queen and was heard by the queen. From that day on, the Queen, who had always been kind, made Concubine De suffer all the hardships and had no way to complain. As the lord of the harem, she had a capable son and the support of the Duke Cheng's Mansion, it was not too easy to punish a concubine.

If Concubine De gets sick, it is natural to remove her green-headed card and then promote a few young and tender beauties. No matter how beautiful Concubine De is, she can't compare to the little girl like a flower bud. The emperor is intoxicated with the gentleness of the land, so where can I have time to think about her beloved concubine?

The biological mother was punished, and the eldest prince looked at Linglong with increasingly resentment. Looking at her appearance, she wanted to peel off Linglong's skin.

Linglong likes provocation the most, and she likes to look at the incompetent and furious people who hate her but can't do anything about her.

With the eldest prince's belly, he really became the emperor. I am afraid that it was not the Duke Cheng's mansion that he would use to be the first to start the operation. The emperor was also confused. Maybe it was the eldest son's filter at work? Otherwise, if you look horizontally and vertically, the eldest prince would not be able to show off any point!

The prince is ambitious, but he is still the prince now. He cannot even mention many political views and ideas that are different from the emperor. After he grows older, it is not only knowledge but also experience. Since ancient times, has the emperor's father and son have fewer rebellions? The prince is younger and more sensitive. He clearly noticed the turbulent waves under the seemingly peaceful court. He knew that the prosperity in front of him was just an appearance. Before the building collapsed, people only saw its magnificence. Only after the collapse, the borers inside would appear.

His father was not kind enough when he should be kind, but not cruel enough when he should be cruel. As Sister Linglong said, he was too cautious and indecisive, so he could only be a benevolent monarch.

If he wanted to thoroughly cleanse the court and to have a peaceful and prosperous era, he was destined to touch the interests of the nobles of aristocratic families, which was undoubtedly a very difficult process. At least, it was impossible to do it when his father was still in power.

After crying, the prince calmed down and deliberately hid Linglong for a few days. He deliberately did not look at her when he went to court, but gradually the anger disappeared. He liked her so much. Whether she was a younger brother or an admirer, she didn't want to marry, so she would not marry. As long as she could always be with him, he would feel safe.

For example, when he was young, he had to live alone as the prince. He was afraid of darkness and loneliness, but his father did not allow him to be spoiled, and he allowed him to cry in the hall and not to be coaxed. She sneaked in through the window, wiped his tears clean, and fell asleep with his hand.

She wouldn't ignore him, this is the prince's confidence.

Linglong also explained to him that if a dynasty continues smoothly and vigorously, then aristocratic families that occupy most of the social resources must be rectified, and the people's education must be formulated as soon as possible. For ordinary people, they may not even know who the emperor is, the prince is, and some who grow up in the village may not even know what the name of their county magistrate, and they may not even know the big characters.

I worked on the land all day long, and finally collected three or five bulls, and I had to pay taxes. The tenants also had to pay rent. The food I lost every year was difficult to make a living, and I couldn’t fill my stomach. What kind of spiritual pursuits do I want?

Only by the fact that the people have enough food and clothing can there be other room for other people.

This is also why the poor family has far fewer children than children from aristocratic families in the scientific examination every year. Children from aristocratic families received teachings from famous teachers since childhood and were exposed to the top resources. What about the peasant children? The two words they can be sent to school to learn are already money saved by their family members. The starting line is different. What should they compare with others? The more children from aristocratic families enter the court, the greater the power of the aristocratic families, which poses a great threat to the consolidation of imperial power.

Once the interests of the aristocratic families are touched, those aristocratic families that seem incompatible will immediately form a rope to fight against the imperial power. This is the current situation.

Obviously, today there is no such courage.

In order to show his benevolence and righteousness, Emperor Taizu preserved all the families of the previous dynasty and promoted the heroes to their respective titles. Over the past century, the major families have been deeply rooted and relied on marriage to connect with each other. How difficult is it to touch them?

It is said that all the kings are under the world, but the royal family does not occupy the big head of these lands, and the people do not occupy the big head of the big head. It is those aristocratic families that really occupy the big head of the big head!

Those who have been intimate with aristocratic families, foxes and tigers are powerful, and those who suffer will always be the people at the bottom. They have no ability and ability, and have been exploited for thousands of years, and have even accepted their fate. As long as they can live and breathe, they can tolerate it. But is this the future the prince wants? Will the people under his rule also live such a life?

Although it is not as good as the road to wine and meat is frozen to death, the world of difference between the rich and the poor is also a fact. People's lives are getting harder and harder. Why did the previous dynasty fall over? It is because of the anger of the people.

If all the land and food of the people are taken away and they do not give them a way to survive, the foundation that supports the building will collapse and a dynasty will decline. These are traces to follow, and they are accumulated day by day. They are ill-treated and require drastic reforms and unswerving reforms to completely dig out the poisonous sores in order to have a future.

A wise ruler must have both courage and will, not verbally.

The prince was obviously very gentle, which could be seen by his relationship with the court officials. Linglong did not deny that he had the potential to become a wise ruler, but she could see clearly that this young man was too gentle and had good intentions to everyone, which was naturally not a bad thing. But the emperor had to kill and make a decisive and ruthless person in order to overcome all obstacles and walk out of the road.

If he was so hesitant to make a choice between Jiangshan and her before, it would be better to let her be the emperor and keep him in a peaceful and prosperous era.

This was the first time that the prince heard Linglong say such heavy words to him. Her expression was very indifferent and indifferent, as if what the world became had nothing to do with her. She was just because of her mother and because of him, she felt pity for the world. In the dark, he had a vague feeling that if he didn't seize this opportunity in time, he would regret it for the rest of his life!

"I listen to my sister!"

The boy clenched his fists and said so.

Linglong smiled and knocked his head, "Everyone listened to me, why don't you let me be the emperor? I will only help you, you have to think about the others yourself."

The prince rubbed his head. Although it hurt so much that he almost burst into tears, he held back and nodded vigorously with great momentum "Yes!"

The interests of the aristocratic family must be touched, but it is definitely not possible to take action directly. The emperor will not agree, and will even be afraid of the prince, which will not be worth the loss at that time. However, Linglong is well aware of the principle of boiling frogs in warm water, and will do it bit by bit. When the frog reacts, it is already the death of death.

How many years can the emperor stay on the throne? Zhi Linglong said that the eldest prince's ambition was about to emerge, and it was already unconcealed. Only the old uncle with a dizzy eyes thought the eldest prince was filial, so he could play the role of a father, kind son, and filial piety.

When he was alienated by the emperor at first, the prince felt aggrieved and sad. He tried to get close to his father but failed to get the law. Now he is no longer affected by this fragile emotion. Instead, he can calmly judge what he should do under Linglong's guidance to maintain his current status and to create a barrier between the father and the eldest brother.

The relationship between father and son of the Tian family also needs to be calculated.

If you want to reform and reform, the prince needs manpower and money. Nowadays, most of the courts are corpses and corpses, and the ministers, generals, and civil and military play. It seems calm, but when something happens, they will immediately show a decline.

The only honest and honest ministers who refused to join the crowd were excluded, either sent out or marginalized people. It would take a long time to gather them together and serve the prince.

Whether the ministers can surrender is the prince’s own business, Linglong doesn’t care. If he can’t even do such a small thing, then it’s better not to be the prince and not to dream of the emperor of the ages.

To make the people full and want to be hungry in the world, to put it bluntly, we must increase the grain output and fundamentally solve the problem.

Only when there is food, food, clothing and clothing can the people begin to pursue spiritual satisfaction. Only by first improving their material living standards can they carry out spiritual civilization construction. To put it bluntly, it is to put the people first and protect the people and be king. Only in this way can the people's will and consolidate the imperial power.

After knocking on the noble head of the prince, Linglong rubbed the prince's hair into a chicken coop like when she was a child, which caused the prince to bear it and finally rolled his eyes.

Then he laughed, hugged Linglong's arm, and put his head on her shoulder. "...... In the past few years when my sister was away, the people around her have always changed, but the mother and sister have never changed. As long as the mother and sister have been with me, I will not be afraid of anything."

Yes, that's it. Even if the father's love for him has gradually become fearful, the closeness between father and son has mixed with rejection and suspicion. He knew from a very young age that in addition to him, the father's love also has many brothers and sisters, but the mother only loves him.

"It's normal to be afraid, after all, you're just a human cub."

What does fifteen years old mean to Linglong? When she was lying on the huge coral bed of Guixu Dragon Palace, she took a nap for a while longer than this time.

Regarding how to increase grain output, Linglong is only responsible for proposing theory and not practice. It is impossible for her to do it personally, at least for a hundred years in this world. After being named a worldly girl, she devoted herself to agriculture, which was much less threatening to the court officials. However, secretly, Linglong's people also secretly investigated the land conditions under the names of various aristocratic families. This was really not to be found out, and she was shocked when she was investigated.

One-third of the land in this world is recorded in the name of the aristocratic families.

The remaining two-thirds of the royal family occupied a part of the remaining land. The remaining land must be eliminated by those who are worthy of fame and fortune. A scholar from one clan was born, and the others all relied on it to hang their own land in the name of the scholar, so that they could be exempted from taxes. The taxes collected every year were taken from the remaining people.

Why can't I win a battle with the barbarians for so many years from the founding of the country? Is it a lack of elite soldiers or a lack of good generals?

None of them.

What is short of supplies.

What is short of food, grass and military salaries.

After the founding of the country, due to the empty national treasury, the barbarians repeatedly invaded the border, so there were no sufficient military supplies to fight with people? They could only drive people away but not completely punish them. Linglong arrived at the border, but in addition to shocking the barbarians at the beginning, it also took two years to gradually establish a market. To put it bluntly, everything they did requires money, and nothing they could do was useless!

If the prince wants to realize the ambition of the emperor forever and reform, the first thing he has to do is to have money, otherwise he will be unable to support himself. Doesn’t the emperor understand this principle? His soft ears are soft, but which emperor doesn’t want to make a career and leave a name for himself in history?

The emperor was just powerless.

The existence of aristocratic families is like a thorn in the bones. If they are not completely eradicated, sooner or later will cause another chaotic world. Only when an iron-blooded and decisive emperor ascends the throne, makes drastic reforms, and changes the court's blood will have the possibility of resurrection. Otherwise, if this continues, there may be a hundred years of prosperity, but it will only last a hundred years, and there will be no more.

Every emperor who does nothing will leave to the next generation of emperors will be one irreversible mess after another.

If the prince wants to change the status quo, he cannot indulge in love, because he will definitely be very, very, very busy, and Linglong needs to accompany him all the time.

Especially after a serious illness a few years ago, the emperor became increasingly irrelevant with the prince and made several confused decisions, and even the queen rarely went to the place.

After Guan Chi broke, Concubine De and the eldest prince suddenly appeared weak. It was precisely this weakness that made the emperor feel that they were not threatening. He looked at the prince who became more and more outstanding, more outstanding, and young and strong, and feared death and aging in his heart. He remembered that the death of the late emperor, in addition to sadness, he felt more joyful, and he thought he could achieve a hegemony. But after ascending the throne, he knew something, even as an emperor, that he could do nothing.

Where is the prince?

Is the prince also looking forward to his father's death?

Concubine De and the eldest prince were fanning the flames next to each other, so the emperor scolded the prince several times in public, all in front of all officials, without giving any room for anything. The prince suffered silently every time, and he was actually very injured, but after all, he was the father who loved him for many years, so he endured it. But in Concubine De's mouth, in the emperor's heart, was he pretending to be the prince? Are he resenting the emperor in his heart?

Once doubt arises in human hearts, they will shake. These little buds quickly grow into towering trees under the watering of those who are interested.

A year after Linglong returned to Beijing, the prince was furious because of his disagreement with the emperor, and was scolded by the emperor and was sentenced to prison. Immediately afterwards, the emperor sent the eldest prince to the Ministry of Revenue for training. For a moment, the eldest prince was happy and the East Palace was deserted. Even the concubine De in the harem dared to provoke the queen.

The queen and the prince lost their holy heart, and many people secretly defected to the eldest prince. The aristocratic family was even more ready to establish a closer connection with the eldest prince.

The Empress was very calm. She had already predicted the scene in front of her. She knew very well what kind of person the emperor was. Her short-term love was like morning dew, and the sun was about to evaporate and disappear. From the moment he accepted the first concubine, she realized the reality.

But it should belong to the prince and must not be taken away by others.

There are obviously more supporters of the eldest prince than the prince in the court. The prince is not anxious about this. After being suspended, he still works diligently every day, as if his father is kind and his son is filial, but anyone can see the turbulence of peace.

Until another year of talent show, a group of beauties appeared in the harem. The virtuous Empress naturally would not be jealous, and the emperor sang every day - as if he could gallop on these young girls to regain his long-lost youth and life.

Upon learning that the emperor was seriously ill, Duke Cheng and Linglong looked at each other and knew that some things should be done early.
