It was morning on the second day, so Xiao Huai got up early.Tang Shuyi was so sleepy that she didn't even open her eyes.Xiao Huai tidied herself up and tucked her in the quilt before leaving.

Riding to the palace, as usual, there are already many officials waiting at the gate of the palace.The difference is that today when he got off his horse, the officials in front took the initiative to make way for him.

However, as usual, he greeted the familiar officials, and then walked in with everyone after the palace gate opened.When I arrived outside the Golden Luan Hall, I saw a young man wearing a prince's python robe standing there.

Looking at him from a distance, he looks a bit thin, but his stability remains undiminished.After all the ministers saw it, they couldn't help admiring Xiao Huai in their hearts, he really has a discerning eye! Who would have thought that the prince of the cold palace back then would become what he is now.

But Tang Shubai and Qi Liangsheng, who knew the inside story, admired Tang Shuyi in their hearts. She not only has a good eye for pearls, but also is good at teaching people.Although Li Jingyi also worshiped Fang Daru as his teacher, he learned more from Tang Shuyi.

Qi Liangsheng sighed in his heart, she was the biggest regret in his life.

"Prince Kang."

"Prince Kang."

.......

The ministers walked over to salute Li Jingyi, and Li Jingyi returned the salute respectfully, neither flattering nor alienating, advancing and retreating properly, once again impressing the ministers.

In the end Li Jingyi walked up to Xiao Huai and followed him into the Golden Palace.After they all stood up, they waited for quite a while before Jiao Kangsheng came out and stood on top and said, "Your Majesty is not feeling well today."

"I heard that the emperor is unconscious, is that true?" Wu Jingwei, the eldest brother of the empress, stepped forward and said.

Jiao Kangsheng looked embarrassed, but he still said, "Yes."

"A country cannot be without a king for a day. If the emperor is unconscious, the third prince should supervise the country." Wu Jingwei said.

At this time Qi Liangsheng came out and said: "A country cannot be without a king for a day, but a monarch must have the ability of a monarch, otherwise the country will be in chaos."

"What is the meaning of Master Qi's words?" Wu Jingwei said: "The third prince has been familiar with poetry and books since he was a child, and he does things calmly and orderly. Why is there no such thing as talent?"

Qi Liangsheng smiled, looked at the third prince and asked, "Your Highness, what do you think is the most important thing for us to do now?"

The third prince was suddenly named, and he was a little flustered.He glanced at Wu Jingwei, but Wu Jingwei was very dissatisfied with his behavior, and naturally his face was not good-looking.

The third prince became even more nervous, he stammered and said: "Father...Father is unwell, can't...can't preside over the government, so someone should preside over the government."

Qi Liangsheng nodded after hearing this, and then he cupped his hands to Li Jingyi and said, "His Royal Highness, what do you think is the most important thing for me to do now?"

Qi Liangsheng had never mentioned this question to him before, but now that he was asked, Li Jingyi was also a little nervous.However, his face was very calm. After thinking for a while, he said: "Although Uncle Huang can't preside over the government, the foreign troubles have been eradicated by my great efforts, and the world has been peaceful. All adults should now perform their duties and unite as one."

"Hmph!" Wu Jingwei snorted heavily, "Even if each of them performs their own duties, there must be someone in charge."

"The lower officials have something to report now." Tang Shubai bowed his hands to the third prince, "Some officials have reported that many places have been barren due to my work, but many people have no land to grow. What should I do?"

The third prince was dumbfounded by the question, he thought for a while and said: "Then...then sell the land to them, the court can earn more money."

"But the common people don't have money to buy land." Tang Shubai said.

"Then...then sell the land to landlords and merchants." The third prince said.

Tang Shubai: "But it is very difficult to reclaim barren land, and landlords and merchants are not willing to buy it."

The third prince: "Then...then what do you think should be done? You ministers will solve the problem."

Tang Shubai nodded, "Your Highness is right."

Hearing what he said, the third prince breathed a sigh of relief.But at this moment, Tang Shubai turned to Li Jingyi and asked, "How does His Highness Prince Kang think this matter should be resolved?"

Li Jingyi thought for a while and said: "The common people who work hard should have their fields."

His words quieted the court hall, and Master Zhang stepped forward and asked: "How can the common people have their fields, can your Highness explain in detail?"

"The fields are barren, and the people have no land. This is a waste of land and manpower. Farmers can be allowed to reclaim wasteland, and the tax burden on wasteland will not be charged a few years ago..."

Tang Shuyi actually told him that the tiller has his own land, but at that time Tang Shuyi only gave a general idea, and Li Jingyi thought about this issue carefully after returning.So speaking of it now, it's pretty smooth.

After he finished speaking, the court began to discuss a lot.The method Li Jingyi mentioned has not only been done before, but also never done in previous dynasties.Because the land was either in the hands of the imperial court or in the hands of the gentry and landlords.

Even if there is a large area of ​​wasteland, the imperial court has no policy for the people to reclaim it.

As for the third prince and the queen's faction, their faces were very ugly.They didn't expect that Qi Liang would give birth to them today and let the third prince and Li Jingyi compete in public.

When everyone's discussions were almost finished, Xiao Huai said: "His Royal Highness Prince Kang is right. Although the emperor is unwell, he cannot preside over the government. At this time, we should unite as one and perform our duties. If there is really something that needs to be decided by someone, then Let's discuss together, ministers."

"Yes, what Ding Guogong said is true."

"That's how it should be."

……

Xiao Huai did not seize power, did not weaken the rights of any party, these ministers were naturally willing to agree.

At this time Xiao Huai said again: "I think Prince Kang is witty and calm, and has a lot of research on people's livelihood. When the cabinet ministers discuss matters, you can also let them discuss together."

"Naturally." Qi Liangsheng spoke first, and several other cabinet ministers followed suit.Again, although Xiao Huai controlled the imperial palace and the upper capital, he obviously had no intention of controlling the government.

As for whether Prince Kang or the third prince will be in charge in the future, it depends on their respective abilities.

Of course, some of these ministers also wanted to follow the dragon's merits.
