Transmigrated into the book to become the villain prince, the son of the plane to destroy

In a blink of an eye, it is the season of warm spring and flowers blooming again, and the imperial garden is full of spring, with flowers blooming, bees playing and butterflies dancing.

Xiao Ji and Empress Sun were taking advantage of the good spring, strolling in the colorful imperial garden to relax, admiring the spring scenery in the garden, and Xiao Ji rarely showed a long-lost smile on his face.

Because of Song Guifei's matter, Xiao Ji's mood has not been very good during this time.

There are many beauties in the harem, and he has a deep relationship with Empress Sun and his wife. He doesn't have a deep relationship with Concubine Song, but the death of Concubine Song involves the problem of royal face. From time to time, rumors and rumors spread, questioning the death of Concubine Song.

There was a royal concubine in the front, a concubine Song in the back, and the harem of Daning was restless. How could he, as an emperor, manage the world with peace of mind, and it would even damage his majesty as an emperor.

Empress Sun has always been considerate. She saw that Xiao Ji was troubled by the affairs of the harem, so she sent someone to invite Xiao Ji to come to the imperial garden to enjoy the flowers, so as to relieve his depression these days.

In fact, for the death of Concubine Song, Empress Sun herself has some self-blame. First, she is in charge of the Daning Harem, and the restlessness of the Harem is the responsibility of the lord of the Harem; If she had asked a few more questions, maybe the tragedy would not have happened.

But now the emperor and empress walked and watched in the imperial garden, chatting and laughing, the haze that had been lingering in their hearts has lightened a lot, and they are in a rare relaxed and happy mood.

There were no other eunuchs or court ladies around the two of them, only Lian Yi, the internal servant, and Ying'er, the queen's personal court lady, followed them not too far away, so as not to disturb the emperor's pleasure in the garden.

Although they couldn't see the smiles on the faces of the emperor and empress, they could hear the empress' talking and laughing clearly, and they felt very happy. For palace people like them, the master is their heaven. The masters are in a bad mood, and they don't want to have a happy life.

But at this moment, a little eunuch hurried over, and he also saw that the emperor was visiting the garden with the empress to enjoy the flowers, and he was in high spirits, even if he had ten courages, he didn't dare to disturb the empress' pleasure, but he hesitated for a moment, She still ran to Lian Yi's side and whispered a few words in his ear.

He knew that Eunuch Lian had served the emperor for many years and knew the emperor's temper well, so he must know how to solve this problem.

But I don't know if his footsteps were too loud just now, or his voice is not low now, which seems to have alarmed Xiao Ji. When he turned his head, he saw a little eunuch whispering something in Lian Yi's ear.

Xiao Ji glanced at Empress Sun who was at the side, seeing that Empress Sun had also noticed the movement behind her, she could only shake her head helplessly, feeling that the flowers might not be rewarded again today.

But in his heart, everything is still in the state affairs, and he still asked lightly: "What happened?"

The little eunuch saw that he had disturbed the empress's interest in viewing flowers, his complexion turned pale, and he knelt down to plead guilty as soon as his knees softened.

Seeing that there was no anger on Xiao Ji's face, Lian Yi quickly whispered to the little eunuch: "It's none of your business here, step back."

The little eunuch glanced at Lian Yi gratefully, and immediately ran away without a trace.

Afterwards, Lian Yi took a few steps forward and said with a smile: "It's nothing, Prince Qi is here."

As soon as she heard that it was Xiao Jie who came, Empress Sun immediately showed a warm smile on her face: "It's Xiao Jie who came. Speaking of which, since he became the captain of Sili, he rarely entered the palace, and this palace is better. I haven't seen anyone else for a while."

Xiao Ji also chuckled, and then said to Lian Yi: "The Queen has already said so, why don't you send someone to Xuan Qi King?"

Lian Yi responded, and then went to Xuan Xiaojie in person.

Not long after, under Lian Yi's guidance, Xiao Jie came to the imperial garden, bowed down on the ground, and respectfully bowed to Xiao Ji and Empress Sun: "Your ministers refer to the emperor father, and the queen mother."

Xiao Ji nodded slightly, and said with a smile: "Don't be too polite, let's be flat. Just now your mother mentioned that she hasn't seen you for a long time since you became the captain of Sili. Why do you think that you are going to enter the palace today?" .”

Xiao Jie got up to thank En, and then glanced at Empress Sun, seeing that she was looking at him dotingly, then smiled and said: "I have nothing to do, but I have nothing to do today, I just want to go to the palace to see my father and mother. .”

Empress Sun couldn't help feeling warm when she heard the words, she nodded and said with a smile: "If you have such a heart, Yu'er, Empress Mother will be satisfied."

Xiao Ji's eyes were thoughtful, but he didn't say anything. He smiled and said, "In this case, you can accompany me and the queen to walk around this imperial garden."

Xiao Jie nodded in response, and then walked beside Empress Sun, the family of three went to the garden to enjoy the flowers, talking and laughing, very warm.

Empress Sun didn't see Xiao Jie for some time, so she naturally cared extra about Xiao Jie's recent situation. From time to time, she asked how Xiao Jie was doing recently, and asked about the two little guys, Xiao Ke and Xiao Ran, complaining about Xiao Jie half-jokingly and half-seriously. He and Su Yao didn't bring her precious grandson and granddaughter into the palace to see her, the imperial grandmother. Xiao Jie was so frightened that he repeatedly admitted his mistake, like a child who was disturbed by neglecting his mother.

Seeing it, Xiao Ji couldn't help but shook his head and smiled, but he couldn't help feeling a long-lost warmth in his heart.

The three wandered around the imperial garden for a while, and Empress Sun excused herself that she was a little tired, and asked Yinger to help her back to the Jiaofang Palace to rest, so that father and son Xiao Ji and Xiao Jie could spend some time alone.

She has always been familiar with the general situation, how could she not have guessed that Xiao Jie came to the palace because he had a business to see the emperor, if Xiao Jie can bear his temper and walk around the imperial garden with her, and talk to her, she is very satisfied and does not want to delay his business .

Seeing Empress Sun walking away, Xiao Ji stopped pretending, looked at his son, and asked indifferently: "Tell me, why did you enter the palace to see me?"

Xiao Jie was sincerely convinced: "Father is very observant, and my son really can't hide anything from Father's eyes."

Xiao Ji didn't seem to like Xiao Jie's rainbow fart, he shook his head and said, "Stop talking nonsense, let's get down to business."

When Xiao Jie heard the words, he immediately put away his hippie smile, and said seriously: "Father, it's like this. My son recently reviewed and sorted out the taxes of Sizhou over the years, and came up with an idea. I came here to tell my father face to face. I want to ask my father to decide whether it is feasible or not. .”

"What's your idea? Tell me about it." Xiao Ji suddenly became interested. He knew that his son's whimsical ideas had always been so eye-catching, and sometimes it really made him, a father, suddenly enlightened.

Although Xiao Jie had already prepared the draft in advance, he still pondered for a moment to sort out his thoughts before he began to talk: "Father, my son recently reviewed and sorted out the taxes of Sizhou over the years. I feel that the counties and counties of Sizhou are far away from the capital Recently, most of the taxes collected can go into the national treasury. When Ke Erchen became the governor of Jiaozhou last year, because Jiaozhou was very high and the road was far away, when the taxes were escorted to Beijing, there was a lot of wear and tear along the way, and only [-]% of them could finally go into the national treasury. not."

Xiao Ji didn't speak, just waiting for Xiao Jie to continue.

He has been the emperor for more than [-] years, and naturally he is very clear about the reasons. After all, a large number of civilians need to be recruited to escort taxes to Beijing, and elite soldiers need to be sent to escort them all the way, and this mouth needs to eat every day, so First, it is reasonable and unavoidable that the taxes brought in from the escort will be wasted.

He didn't know why Xiao Jie suddenly mentioned this matter, but he wanted to hear what bold ideas his son had. Although he couldn't expect to avoid this loss, it would be good if he could reduce some of the loss.

Xiao Jie suddenly smiled mysteriously, and continued: "Actually, has your father ever thought about it? In fact, there is a way to completely avoid this loss."

Xiao Ji's breathing tightened suddenly, he looked at Xiao Jie, and said in a deep voice, "Don't be tricky, just speak up."

Xiao Jie smiled slightly: "Father, have you ever thought that the Tao family's bank is spread all over the fourteen prefectures of Daning, and the local government can deposit the tax money collected in the local bank, and then bring it to Beijing when the end of the year reports on work? Bring the account books and bank notes to Beijing and hand them over to the household department for verification, so naturally there will be no need for a large number of elite soldiers and civilian husbands to escort taxes to Beijing, and the loss along the way will be avoided."

Xiao Ji couldn't help but change his face when he heard the words, his eyes also became a little erratic, and he remained silent for a while.

At first, the son's idea seemed absurd. How could the tax money from the Daning treasury be deposited in the merchant's bank? Isn't this a disgrace to the government?

But if you think about it carefully, this is also a good strategy to solve the loss of taxes along the way to Beijing.
