my wife is queen

Chapter 155 History Lessons
Li Mian felt more and more that his wife was a good match: "There is one more thing that makes Li most grateful, that is, my wife abides by women's morals compared to many ladies of the family, and never has any contact with other men in the capital. Let alone strangers, the relationship between the two of us can be regarded as close friends, since Bai Gu met Li, has he ever met my wife."

When Sun Chuanting heard Li Mian mentioning the four words of abiding by women's morals, he couldn't help showing envy and admiration on his face: "Sun has known Princess Changping for a long time. From the time I can remember, I have never heard of Princess Changping. There have been rumors of romantic affairs around Princess Changping, but there have been many rumors about Princess Shouning, and it is said that she has been entangled with some officials and gentry in the capital."

Sun Chuanting stopped abruptly at this point, and there is another sentence that can give Li Mian more face, saying that Princess Changping is praised for abiding by women's morals.

It's just that those words are not suitable for speaking, so I shut up.

With the beauty of Princess Changping, as long as there is a little rumor, the officials and gentry in the capital will flock to her. With the help of those officials and gentry, life will be much easier than it is now.

It's just that since Princess Changping's mother was deposed, Sun Chuanting has never heard that Princess Changping deliberately leaked some rumors and contacted the officials and gentry in the capital in order to make life easier.

Since Sun Chuanting is well-informed, he has never heard of it, so it really didn't happen.

Sun Chuanting raised his head, glanced at the second floor of the embroidery room, and said with emotion: "If Sun's future wife can be half as virtuous and virtuous as Princess Changping, she will be satisfied."

It is always a joy to hear others praise your wife.

In particular, this person is still Sun Chuanting, and what he praises is that he abides by women's morals.

A bit of complacency inevitably appeared on Li Mian's face: "You can feel complacent about other things, but for this matter, Li will be complacent in front of Bai Gu."

Sun Chuanting thinks it's normal: "Don't say it's you, if it's Sun who hears others praise the lady for her abiding by women's morals, it's inevitable that she will show a complacent expression."

Everything that the two said was transmitted to the embroidery room verbatim.

Princess Changping sat on the Jinrong couch with tiger feet, took the pastry box from the pheasant slave, took out a piece of pastry from it, put it in her mouth and slowly tasted it.

For some reason, Princess Changping took a sip and felt that the pastry was much sweeter than ever.

Princess Changping covered the pastry box: "You also take it back and give it to the son-in-law... um... Xianggong, let him taste the pastry too."

When the pheasant slave heard a word from Mr. Xiang, his eyes widened in an instant, and he heard a remarkable thing, and he didn't recover after a long time.

Hongqiao stood beside her, her eyes widened as well, but she quickly pursed her lips and laughed: "Young master is really good at making people happy, and you actually let the princess call me a husband, but the princess seldom says that these things are more intimate." If you treat the empress by the same title, you should only call her a mother on her birthday."

Princess Changping's face flushed slightly. In order to conceal her unnatural emotions, she walked to the redwood desk and began to deal with the account books again.

It's just that Princess Changping's thoughts are not on the account book, but on Li Mian under the peony flower stand.

The chat between Li Mian and Sun Chuanting brought up another matter, about going to Daxing County to implement the New Deal.

Li Mian's expression became serious, and he said solemnly: "Since ancient times, the implementation of new policies has always been solved with the increase of interests, um... that is, there are enough interests to replace water transportation, so that officials in Daxing County We can get the same amount of money, or even more money. We are not afraid of offending the officials who are attached to the canal, but we are afraid that we will not have enough benefits. At that time, let alone implementing the New Deal, people around us will oppose us."

When Sun Chuanting heard the new word "increment of interests", he pondered it carefully, and the more he pondered, the more connotation he felt.

Through Li Mian's explanation, Sun Chuanting suddenly remembered Wang Anshi's implementation of the New Deal: "At the beginning of Wang Anshi's reform, it was the party struggle between the new party and the old party during the reign of Emperor Shenzong of Song Dynasty. Zeng Bu, the third minister, was one of the prime ministers. It can be said that Wang Anshi relied most heavily on promoting the reform. He is also a staunch supporter of the reform. Who would have thought that in the seven years in Xining, he would openly oppose Wang Anshi's reform, and even break with Wang Anshi."

His expression was very serious: "When I read this period of history in the past, there were always some things that I couldn't understand. According to the records in the history books, Zeng Bu's various behaviors always revealed abnormalities. I heard from Jin Guan today When I heard the word variable of interest, I was enlightened."

Sun Chuanting sighed: "Not everyone is as dedicated to the country as Wang Anshi. Zeng Bu supported the reform for profit, and opposing Wang Anshi's reform should also be for profit."

Li Mian knew that Sun Chuanting usually liked to read military books, but he didn't expect that he also had penetrating insights into Wang Anshi's reform. It seemed that he often read history books.

Just reading history books does not reach the current understanding of Wang Anshi's reform. It should be to consult a real great Confucianism and explain some key points about Song history.

Li Mian was pleasantly surprised by Sun Chuanting's understanding of the importance of variable interests: "Bai Gu can see this, so he can rest assured. This time, he will go to Daxing County to implement the new policy, and he will be a little more sure."

When Sun Chuanting heard this, it was rare for others to praise him: "This is all thanks to Jinguan. Without your unique insights, Sun would not have figured out some abnormalities of Wang Anshi's reform. It is a good thing that he has figured it out now." , With the lessons learned from the past, we can take history as a mirror, as Tang Taizong Li Shimin said."

Li Mian laughed for no reason when he heard the words "taking history as a mirror", which was really incomprehensible.

Sun Chuanting looked at Li Mian who was suddenly laughing, and felt a little puzzled: "I mentioned taking history as a mirror, why did Jin Guan suddenly burst out laughing."

Princess Changping on the second floor of the embroidery room was also puzzled by Li Mian's sudden laughter, so she put down the lake brush in her hand and listened seriously.

I really wanted to know what happened, so that Li Mian suddenly laughed.

Li Mian asked rhetorically: "What lessons does Bai Gu think people can learn from history?"

Sun Chuanting had countless answers in his mind, but he didn't say it out. He just said: "I would like to hear more about it."

Li Mian laughed even louder: "The only lesson I can learn from history is that I have never learned a lesson."

When Sun Chuanting heard this, he was taken aback for a moment, and soon laughed again: "Jin Guan is really a wonderful person, he always has all kinds of unexpected whims, but it makes sense."
