Xia Chenhuan felt that he was surrounded by warm embrace while he was half dreaming and half awake. He unconsciously took a deep breath, the vaguely familiar pine fragrance, and slowly opened his eyes, in front of him was Xiao Haoxuan's handsome face.

Xia Chenhuan was stunned for a moment, but after blinking, it must be reality, and he was even more confused.

After being crowned prince, Xiao Haoxuan became extremely busy. Every time Xia Chenhuan woke up, there was no one around him, and the time for the man to return home had to be delayed again and again.

On the second day after he was promoted to the East Palace, Xiao Haoxuan announced a series of plans for promotion and changes of officials, and in the following month, he presented two major reform policies.

As the saying goes, there are three fires for a new official to take office, and Xiao Haoxuan really did it.

In fact, it was not just for the purpose of deterring the government and the public. Xiao Chuyi and Xiao Haoxuan had long wanted to reform, and they also laid the foundation for the smooth transition of the throne in the future.

Just taking advantage of the new establishment of the prince, he can establish the authority of the prince while reforming, killing two birds with one stone.

First promote and deploy officials.Some decrees should have been promulgated at the beginning of the year, and Xiao Chuyi specially delayed the changes until after the crown prince was established.

A small number of them are princes of the same age who Xiao Haoxuan has been familiar with since he discussed politics together when he was young.It's not because "one emperor and one courtier" wants to cultivate sincere power, but Xiao Haoxuan intends to inject new blood into the officialdom.These sons of aristocratic families are all outstanding among their peers, and their talents and minds are not bad.

Some people sensed the prince's true intentions, while others were in danger and became more careful and responsible when working as officials.Xiao Haoxuan didn't explain it either, he was happy to see it succeed.

Second, a series of decrees were promulgated to deal with Dayan's gradual emergence of redundant troops.

In the past 50 years, there have been constant battles among countries in the mainland, and the lords are vying for the throne.Dayan established a huge army in order to fight against the outside world and protect the inside.As Xiao Chuyi destroyed Dayu and suppressed the Southern and Xia Kingdoms, Dayan gradually established its dominance.

The friendship between Xia Chenshuo and Dayan marks that Dayan's diplomacy has officially entered a stage of peaceful development.

During the 12 years when Xiao Chuyi proclaimed himself emperor, Dayan needed powerful armaments to protect itself.But now that the national conditions have changed, if the problem of redundant troops and redundant expenses is left alone, it will only weaken the national strength of Dayan.

Therefore, Xiao Haoxuan proposed laws such as the law of war, the law of protecting armor, and the law of protecting horses.Reduce generals, save military expenses, enhance the combat effectiveness of the army, and stabilize the social order while enriching the country and strengthening the army.

Third, carry out reforms in the land system.

After Xiao Chuyi ascended the throne, in order to curb land mergers, he implemented the five laws of Young Crops Law, Service Raising Law, Fangtian Average Tax Law, Farmland Water Conservancy Law and Market Change Law, and reduced or exempted taxes at the same time.The people were able to recuperate, agricultural production increased substantially, and the national treasury was filled.

However, under the stability of the country, commodity transactions between various places began to flourish.Diplomacy is good and trade between countries is increasing.

In line with social development, Hsiao Hao-hsuan proposed a policy of whipping: multiple taxes are combined into one, converted into silver taels, shared with labor and labor, and shared with people's land.It can not only reduce the burden on farmers, loosen the dependence relationship, but also adapt to the commodity economy, which is beneficial to the development of agricultural and business capital.

Every policy is in line with national conditions and beneficial to the country and the people.But as long as the reform will violate the interests of the vested interests, it will be hindered, and this time is no exception.

Fortunately, the emperor and the prince had a long-term vision and were prepared for danger in times of peace, and they strangled the "problem" in the bud before it became a problem.

Although it is not easy, the reform is indeed proceeding steadily and step by step.

Xiao Haoxuan is naturally very busy, and even Xia Chenhuan often helps him deal with tips and analyze the details of various places.

Xia Chenhuan had a keen mind and indeed shared a lot for Xiao Haoxuan.The man couldn't help pulling him into his arms for a long kiss, and sighed with a smile, "I really married a good wife."

Xiao Haoxuan was already awake, but he just hugged Xia Chenhuan and closed his eyes to rest.He opened his eyes under his lover's hot gaze, his black eyes were clear, and then he kissed lightly.Kiss from pink lips all the way to the forehead, hugging people tightly, very satisfied.

Xia Chenhuan's cheeks were slightly red, and when she woke up, her voice was a little hoarse, "Isn't Zijing coming early today?"

Xiao Haoxuan said "Mmm", with a rare lazy tone, "Xiu Mu."

It has been three months since the crown prince was registered, and Xiao Haoxuan has not rested for a day.Xia Chenhuan only thought that the man could finally relax for a day, so he was happy and smiled.

The two hugged each other without saying a word, enjoying the rare comfort in the warm atmosphere.

After a while, Xiao Haoxuan opened his eyes, with a faint smile in his words, "I have told Lianqiu to pack my luggage, see if you need anything else, and I will tell them later."

Xia Chenhuan blinked, and asked suspiciously, "Are you going to the other hospital?" Xiao Haoxuan has no time to accompany him to the other hospital recently.Xia Chenhuan would go to pay homage to Jue'er every month, but she didn't stay overnight.

Xiao Haoxuan raised the corners of his mouth, his eyes flickered, and he said word by word, "Go to Jiangnan."

Xia Chenhuan's eyes widened suddenly, and he stared at Xiao Haoxuan blankly. He heard the word "Jiangnan", but his brain couldn't process the information.

Xiao Haoxuan was amused by his cute expression, and his smile grew stronger.He caressed his lover's face, and added in a deep voice, "I'm going to the local government to secretly investigate the implementation of reforms. You have been staying in Yanjing since you arrived in Dayan. This time, you just go with me, and take a look at the beautiful scenery in the south of the Yangtze River."

Xia Chenhuan finally regained consciousness, opened his mouth but couldn't utter a word.His chest was warm and swollen, and he stared at the man without blinking, feeling overflowing.

Zijing said it was by the way, but Xia Chenhuan didn't know that he was more here to accompany her, to let him travel around the mountains and rivers, and see the beautiful scenery.

Not to mention that it is not necessary for Xiao Haoxuan to secretly investigate in person, the forces of Wenli Pavilion all over the place can do it well.Furthermore, the East Palace was newly established, and there were many things in the capital. Xiao Haoxuan had to make preparations in advance in order to be able to escape. I think this was the reason why he was extremely busy in the past month.

Xia Chenhuan didn't speak, and his expression was obviously restless and self-blame.

Xiao Haoxuan's eyes softened, and he said it easily, "Don't think too much, I really want to take a look at Jiangnan Misty Rain with you. You can go out and play like Gu Yao in the future." He paused, and there was a hint of guilt in his words, " But I'm afraid it will be a long time before I can accompany you."

It is not easy to be a Mingjun. The emperor is a busy and prematurely dead profession. He has to deal with political affairs most of the time every day.

Moreover, the emperor and the crown prince could not leave Beijing easily, and even a personal conquest was a last resort, let alone traveling around.

Xiao Haoxuan is the crown prince, the heir apparent.He is destined to put "country" first and "home" after.

But he will do his best to balance the relationship between his family and the country, and try his best to spend more time with Xia Chenhuan.

Only now can Xiao Haoxuan truly understand why Xiao Chuyi is so determined to abdicate early and travel around the world with Gu Yao.The power and wealth they can give can't make up for the confinement and loneliness in the palace, and it can't compare with the long-term company.

Xiao Haoxuan also didn't want to sit in this position until he died.If the prince born after Xia Chenhuan, it will take 21 years to reach the crown.Of course, Si Chu, Nian Yi and even Hao Yuan are also options.

If the three princes knew that their eldest brother was paying attention to themselves, their faces would probably be darker than carbon.

Not only did the three of them have no grudge against Xiao Haoxuan's canonization as the crown prince, but they were also used to following Gu Yao freely since childhood.Although they have the heart to rule the world for the people, but compared to their father who is busy every day, being a virtuous king like Prince Huang Shuyu is more in their minds.

Xiao Haoxuan's eyes were gentle, he kissed his pink lips and rubbed them slowly, his hands caressing his lover's back soothingly.

Xia Chenhuan only felt that she was surrounded by Zijing's love, from the heart to every pore was warm.He smiled sweetly, wrapped his arms around the man's waist and kissed him back.

After the tender kiss, Xia Chenhuan murmured softly, "Thank you, Zijing. I'm so happy to be able to visit the great rivers and mountains with you."

Xiao Haoxuan rubbed the other person's nose, and added half jokingly and half helplessly, "Although I really want to occupy you, there are still two little clever ghosts who want to grab you."

Xia Chenhuan blinked, then smiled brightly, "Will Haoyuan and Haojun go too?"

Xiao Haoxuan nodded in acquiescence.He was going south, so Gu Yao stayed in Yanjing this spring to take control of the Wenli Pavilion and help Xiao Chuyi share the work.Si Chu and Nian Yi turned 11 years old this year, and Xiao Chuyi wanted them to start studying political affairs, so only the youngest two could run around.

This time Xiao Haoxuan was mainly playing with Xia Chenhuan, and by the way explored the people's sentiments.It's no big deal for the two little guys to follow.

Bi Mou smiled into a crescent moon, and Xia Chenhuan said earnestly, "It's so nice." He really loves these four younger siblings, they gave Xia Chenhuan who had no home since childhood extraordinary affection and warmth.

Xiao Haoxuan's eyes became more gentle, "Get up, Haoyuan and Haojun should be arriving at the Prince's Mansion soon."

Sure enough, as soon as the two of them finished washing and changing, the little ones rushed in one after the other, crashing into Xia Chenhuan's arms, dancing with excitement and joy.

"Sister-in-law, we can go out of Beijing together!"

"This is the first time we go out of Beijing with elder brother and sister-in-law instead of mother!"

Xia Chen smiled and patted their heads, "I am also very happy to go out with you."

Xiao Haoxuan looked at the elder and the younger, and the tenderness in his eyes finally turned into a ray of light in the depths.

The people who accompanied me on this trip said more or less, and said less.A group of about 30 people turned into ordinary wealthy families and set off from Yanjing to Hangzhou.

Lianqiu, Liandong, Qingluo and Qingyao took care of the crown prince, crown princess and the two princes and princesses.

Song Zheng and Zhong Ji led the rest of Wenlige masters and bodyguard writers Ding, who were responsible for the safety of the four.Of course, shadow guards and bodyguards turned into ordinary people to protect in the dark.

In addition, every time you go to a boundary, the entrance of Wenli Pavilion will receive news.They will arrange everything and make sure nothing goes wrong.

This trip was not in a hurry, Xiao Haoxuan arranged it very well, he could stay in the town every night.Basically, they live in private houses in the Prince's Mansion or Wenli Pavilion. The halls have already been prepared, clean and comfortable.

Xiao Haoxuan spent most of his time traveling with Haojun, Haoyuan and Xia Chen, and spent the rest of his time investigating the implementation of reforms.If there is anything wrong, after arriving at the capital of the county or state, he will privately reveal his identity to the county guard or prefect.Adapt measures to local conditions, deal with and rectify immediately.

Xia Chenhuan's excitement was no less than that of the two children. Naturally, he would not be superficial like Haojun and Haoyuan, but the brilliance in his green eyes could not be faked.

Xiao Haoxuan felt more and more that he was doing the right thing, and became more attentive.It's not just about looking at the scenery, the man understands Xia Chenhuan very well.

Xiao Haoxuan knows that his lover is well read and good at poetry.When passing through less prosperous towns, I took him to see famous historical sites.

For example, Yongzhou Shitan, where Liu Zongyuan wrote "The Story of Xiaoshitan", and Chuzhou Drunkard Pavilion, where Ouyang Xiu wrote "The Story of the Drunkard Pavilion".

If you arrive at a prosperous and scenic state capital, for example, Quancheng (Jinan) has "72 famous springs" and is known as "lotus flowers on all sides and willows on three sides, a city full of mountains and half a city of lakes".

Xiao Haoxuan took one or two small sets of the eight world-famous scenic spots: Spring Dawn in Jinping, Baotu Spring, Chrysanthemum Appreciation in Foshan, Misty Rain in Magpies, Evening Photos in Huibo, Boating in Bright Lake, White Clouds and Snow, and Autumn Wind.

Arrived at Jinling (Nanjing), which used to be the ancient capital of many countries, and is known as "the cultural hub of the world".

Xiao Haoxuan took people to search for the ruins of the ancient city and the unofficial history of the imperial tomb.Go to the Confucius Temple to listen to the lectures of Confucianism and participate in debates.Seeing Xia Chen's dazzling appearance fighting with all the students, the man couldn't hide his admiration in his eyes.

Jinling cuisine has a long-standing reputation, and Jinling snacks are the first among the four major snacks in the Central Plains.Xiao Haoxuan let the three of them eat it all.

Scallion Pancake, Boiled Dry Shredded Rice, Xiaolongbao, Zhuangyuan Beans, Salted Duck, Five Spice Eggs, Live Balls, Stinky Tofu, Five Colored Cakes, Shredded Chicken Noodles, Thin Skin Dumplings, Beef Pot Stickers, Nannong Roast Chicken, Duck Blood Vermicelli Soup .

Not to mention how much the two children ate, even Xia Chenhuan, who had never gotten fat from eating, had rounder cheeks.

Xiao Haoxuan embraced his lover in his arms, licked off the cake crumbs from the corner of his mouth, rubbed his right hand on Xia Chenhuan's slender waist, and murmured dissatisfiedly, "I need to feed him to be fatter..."
