Three whips break the father-son relationship, please call me prince

Chapter 173 How can you blame the prince for not giving you a chance?

Pei Xingjian was wearing a black coat, which was issued by the Prince's Guard.

After he was transferred from the New Army to the Prince's Guard, he took on the responsibility of guiding the entire Prince's Guard.

Although his military rank was promoted, his status could never be compared with Li Ji's status as a Duke.

However, his ideological work in the new army was carried out very smoothly.

If any of the Prince's guards disobeyed him, Xue Li could make them obey him without him having to take any action.

This time, he and Xue Li went home for vacation and walked in Chang'an City.

Their attire is very eye-catching and attracts attention.

Because this kind of military coat made of cotton was not issued to anyone else except the Prince's Guard.

It can be said that the military coats of the Prince’s Guards are unique, and their officers’ coats are obviously more stylish and handsome.

Pei Xingjian was originally from a scholar family, and now he was wearing an officer's coat, looking both elegant and heroic.

"The Great Tang Empire Newspaper costs one cent per copy. It publishes detailed reports on the work of the Ministry of Chancellery and the heads of various ministries and offices..."

When Pei Xingjian heard the shouting and looked at the crowded place, he couldn't help but walk over.

Xue Li followed behind him, also feeling curious.

"This Tang Empire Newspaper is really good."

"Haha, I used to only hear the general idea of ​​the affairs of the court, but now I can read about them."

"Not bad, not bad. It's only a penny. Who can't afford it?"

Pei Xingjian was surprised when he saw several students dressed up, each holding a piece of paper and talking while reading it.

He squeezed in and bought one for ten cents.

The newspaper is very thick, with several pages.

"Such a large piece of paper only costs one cent?"

"Aren't you afraid of losing money?"

Pei Xingjian muttered to himself and then read the content.

"Under the leadership of the wise and powerful Emperor, under the care of the wise and benevolent Crown Prince, and with the joint efforts of all the subjects, the Tang Dynasty has achieved unprecedented achievements this year..."

Suddenly there was a push and Pei Xingjian staggered a few steps. Fortunately, Xue Li supported him.

Pei Xingjian frowned and looked back with some displeasure.

It turned out that more and more people were watching and they bumped into him in the crowd.

"Let's go."

"Let's find a place to sit first."

Pei Xingjian didn't want to make a fuss about it. It was an unintentional mistake by the other party and it was not intentional.

"Why, you bought it too?"

"It's just a penny, but this newspaper reveals so many things. We can see the details that we don't usually know about in it." Xue Li said with a smile.

"You've figured something out so quickly?" Pei Xingjian said with a smile.

"Otherwise, when will we, the little soldiers and generals, see the work report made by the Shangshu Province?" Xue Li sighed, "Let alone ordinary people."

"This is a good thing."

They just found a place to sit down and ordered a pot of tea. When they were about to read the back of the newspaper, they heard someone reading aloud.

"The army spent more than 13 million strings of cash on the expedition last year and the reform of the Fubing system."

"This year's military budget is as high as 15 million..."

When the man read to this point, it caused a great sensation.

"what?"

"Why is it so high?"

"This year, we spent nine million to destroy the Xueyantuo country, which is acceptable. I have also heard about the reform of the Fubing system. It is to enforce strict military discipline and prevent any looting. These are understandable, but why do we need fifteen million next year before the war even starts?"

"Is that a lot? It's a lot more. I think it's still a lot less."

"During the Weishui Alliance, the emperor was greatly honored, and our Tang Dynasty suffered great humiliation."

"Which of the money thrown away by the Weishui Alliance didn't benefit our people?"

"I would rather use it as military expenditure than have the army fail to win the battle and have to pay compensation to the enemy for a surrender."

"Yes, fifteen million is useless. If it were me, fifty million would be enough."

Hearing these shouting remarks, Pei Xingjian could not help but cover his face with the newspaper.

Fifty million strings of cash?

Whoever is brave enough, stand up.

Don't make a fuss here, run to Chengtian Gate and shout.

I absolutely agree with this with both hands.

If it really works, the army will support you and appoint you to collect military funds in the future.

"The court has almost made clear the direction of governance and development for next year."

Xue Li said: "However, the Ministry of Civil Affairs is so confident. If Duke Zhao can really collect 80 million in taxes, wouldn't he become the God of Wealth of our Tang Dynasty?"

Pei Xingjian shook his head slightly and said, "It's not just the God of Wealth. From now on, all government offices, even the army, will have to look at the Ministry of Civil Affairs's face."

"That's true. The more money the Ministry of Civil Affairs makes, the better life will be for everyone."

"Otherwise, why would there be so many different opinions on this temple?"

Xue Li asked curiously, "How many temples do our prince's guards have? What about the new army?"

Although they left the New Army, they were still concerned about the situation there.

"I'm not sure about the new army, but I think it will be a lot." Pei Xingjian said: "As for the prince's guards, the money may not be allocated by the Ministry of War."

"After all, we are the Crown Prince's Guard, and all expenses are borne by the East Palace."

He knew that the Prince's Guard had no designated temple fortune teller.

Duke of England Li Ji did not get involved in this matter.

The prince's guards are going to the temple to make plans? What are they thinking?

"Let's go. I didn't expect that reading this newspaper would take up so much time. It's time to go home and reunite with our families."

Pei Xingjian stood up, left the tea money and left.

Xue Li's family has been brought to Chang'an, which is a grace given by the prince.

"That's it for now. See you later."

"it is good!"

After Pei Xingjian separated from Xue Li, he hesitated for a moment and walked towards the Imperial College, which was supposed to be closed for the New Year.

But at this moment, quite a few students gathered at the gate of the Imperial College, each holding a newspaper.

"really!"

Pei Xingjian understood.

He knew how he had come here, and he knew very well that the students of today would talk a lot and comment on the contents of the newspapers. On his way home, he saw many places where people gathered to listen to the readings of literate people.

"This newspaper will stir up a terrible whirlwind."

……

Liang Guogong Mansion.

Fang Yizheng took the newspaper and ran quickly into the study.

"Aye, aye!"

"You're famous. This time you're very famous."

Fang Yizheng said excitedly.

Fang Xuanling frowned and scolded, "You are already an adult, why are you still so impatient?"

"Hasn't I already been famous for a long time?"

"I need you..."

Before he finished speaking, his eyes bulged when he saw the content of the newspaper, and then he raised his head and laughed, "Haha!"

"Gao Shilian, ah Gao Shilian."

"You didn't want it at the beginning, but you let me take the lead."

"Now, the prince has given me a great gift."

"I'm afraid you're having trouble sleeping and eating."

He was appreciating the contents with great joy, and kept saying, "Your Highness is not lying to me."

"Sincerely, don't deceive me."

Fang Yizhi curled his lips. He just said that he couldn't keep his temper. How come you lost your composure after seeing this?
"Father, everyone in Chang'an is talking about the report to the Ministry of Shangshu that Father made in the Taiji Hall."

"It is said that Aye is a wise minister throughout history, comparable to Guan Zhong."

The wisest minister of all time?

Comparable to Guan Zhong?

Fang Xuanling's beard fluttered slightly without any wind.

The whole person couldn't help but tremble, and the smile on his face bloomed like a chrysanthemum.

He read the content of his report word by word.

He had never felt so agitated and uneasy before.

"The prince gave me this name."

"One day, it will spread all over the world, and my life, Fang Xuanling..."

……

The newspaper slid down silently.

Gao Shilian was in a daze, his eyes were out of focus and his right hand was hanging limply.

"I have been wise all my life, but I have been foolish for a moment."

"I missed such a lucky opportunity."

"That should be the report I made."

Gao Shilian couldn't help but cover his face. As he gets older, he cares more and more about his reputation.

An opportunity to be praised in the present and passed down through the ages was missed.

How could he not feel pain and regret?

"Prince."

"I am your great uncle, why didn't you tell me when you didn't understand?"

"Why."

"Isn't your support and advocacy enough?"

"My prince, my prince, I am deeply saddened."

Changsun Wuji just arrived and heard his uncle's call.

The moment he saw the newspaper, he set off immediately.

"uncle!"

Changsun Wuji didn't know how to comfort her.

"Assistant, how about me and the prince?"

"it is good."

"But why did the prince treat me like this? Why did he give this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to Fang Xuanling?"

Changsun Wuji was speechless. Should he tell his uncle that the prince gave him the opportunity but he did not cherish it?

"What does Fang Xuanling count for?"

Gao Shilian pointed outside and angrily cursed: "They are nothing but frauds who steal reputations."

"How dare he steal such a reputation?"

"I am his great uncle, and I am also the Right Servant of the Shangshu Province."

Seeing his uncle lose his composure like this, Changsun Wuji sighed and said, "Uncle, calm down. Now that things have come to this, what else can we do?"

"I'm going to ask the prince for an explanation," said Gao Shilian.

"What do you want?" Chang Sun Wuji said anxiously, emphasizing his tone. "What do you want?"

"Uncle, have you really forgotten that at that time in Xiandian, Gao Ming said that he wanted the Shangshu Province to make a report."

"If you hadn't said anything at that time, where would you have put the prince?"

Gao Shilian said angrily, "You are speaking for the prince."

"I'm not speaking for Gao Ming, I'm just discussing the facts." Changsun Wuji said, "If Wei Zheng hadn't stepped forward, Fang Xuanling probably wouldn't have taken on this task."

"No matter what, the prince gave you the chance first."

"You are the Shangshu You Pushe. The prince did not specifically ask Fang Xuanling to go, which means he hopes that your uncle will take over on his own initiative."

"But you didn't say a word. Can you blame Gao Ming for that?"

Chang Sun Wuji said earnestly: "It's not Gao Ming's fault."

"Then why didn't he say there was a newspaper?" Gao Shilian retorted.

"Uncle, why are you so angry? Why did Gao Ming say that? Doesn't he just want to see who can take over and enjoy the honor?"

"Besides, if we really want to talk about it, what if Fang Xuanling competes with my uncle?"

"What you can think of, Fang Xuanling can't think of?"

"You're lecturing me now. Did you forget so quickly when the prince embarrassed you in Taiji Palace?"

Gao Shilian said angrily: "You should think about how the Ministry of Civil Affairs can realize the 80 million within a year."

"Fuck off!"
