Facing the letter from the prince and the old ministers, Emperor Renchen did not react at all for a moment.

He neither affirmed nor denied it. After being written to the book, it seemed that things had subsided without any response.

"Is this the 'keep' not sent'?" Prince Emperor Hedong asked worriedly, "Did his father... after all, still agree with his second brother's approach?"

Zhang Guozhong shook his head and said with a smile: "Your Highness, you can rest assured. Your Majesty's attitude is actually very clear."

"I understand? Guozhong has taught me!"

"Your Highness, reform is the biggest national policy today. No matter you, the second prince or His Majesty himself, you should have no objection to this, right?"

"Of course!" Di Hedong said affirmatively, "Although how to do it specifically? Who benefits? These can be discussed separately. However, the Great Xia lasted for thousands of years and accumulated a large number of problems. It is indeed necessary to reform and rectify the country and regain their vitality!"

"Since we have affirmed this, it is natural that His Majesty supports the reform. It's just that his attitude is radical or steady, that's all, right?"

"That's right."

Zhang Guozhong smiled: "Your Highness, if Your Majesty supports the radical approach of the Second Prince, then he should directly approve your letter, saying, "For example, "When you treat a disease, you should use strong medicine." Are you right?"

Di Hedong pondered for a moment and said, "But if he supports me, why don't he approve of 'Good rain should be at that time'?"

Seeing that he also had his own analysis, Zhang Guozhong was not worried or unhappy because of disagreement, but smiled with relief: "What Your Highness said is very true! If we only look at the criticism, Your Majesty's letter to your common "leave it and don't send it" - he did not agree with your letter, but he also felt that he should not criticize it, so he pretended not to see it and vaguely passed on the matter."

He changed his tone and said, "But do you think His Majesty knows the voices of the people in the Gyeonggi area during this period?"

Di Hedong said with certainty: "He must know! Taizu told him that 'Only the emperor is the one who knows the hearts of the people, understands the hearts of the people, and unites the hearts of the people, and is the emperor'. All the emperors have paid great attention to understanding the voices of the people. Father, he is no exception. I know just that in this capital, there are at least hundreds of officials responsible for collecting the voices of the people for him. Not to mention the patrol patrols... I or Luonan may not be able to understand the various voices of the people, but he must be all of them!"

Zhang Guozhong smiled slightly again: "Since that's the case, does Your Majesty know the people's reaction to you and the old ministers' letters?"

Di Hedong nodded: "He must know."

As he said that, he was stunned for a moment, and he realized the problem, frowned and fell into deep thought.

After a moment, he also smiled.

"I understand! Guozhong, you are right! My father did not criticize our letter. It was not that he rejected our suggestions, but that he was using the public opinion to put pressure on Luonan and the others! Once we wrote the letter, the people immediately supported him, and there were loud praises everywhere. Luonan could not know about these things! So even if the father did not criticize, the pressure had reached Luonan and the others - my father just didn't want Luonan to be too much pressure!"

As he said that, his face was full of excitement, and he was excited that he had successfully guessed what his father meant.

Zhang Guozhong also smiled and was satisfied with the smooth progress of the plan.

He did not believe that the struggle for dominance of reform could be achieved overnight, but as the prince, Emperor Hedong had great advantages. As long as he firmly occupied a place in the reform and established a positive image, the emperor, ministers and the people would naturally appreciate him.

Who is the one who leads the reform? It is actually not that important. What is important is that through this incident, which of the two princes can be recognized by everyone?

After all, the throne in the Golden Palace can only accommodate one person!

Pan Long had supper on the street and returned to Cangyuan's mansion. Not long after he sat down, Cangyuan came.

"Brother Pan, how are you doing these days?" Cang Yuan greeted him with a warm smile, as if he had a good relationship with each other.

Pan Long doesn't believe in his enthusiasm - if he is a northerner, he might really be friends with everyone chatting for a while and drinking for a while. But people like Cang Yuan are very thoughtful, he might think you are a good person, and may have some kindness to you, but... it's all.

It is definitely not easy to be regarded as a friend by Cang Yuan or even have a good relationship.

According to what Pan Long saw, Cang Yuan looked humble on the outside but was arrogant on the inside. Even if you saved him, he might repay his life with his life, but he would never think that you were his friend.

In the world, the only person who is qualified to be considered his friend may be Di Luonan for the time being.

But as the saying goes, "I don't hit people with a smile," Cang Yuan is warm and friendly, and of course Pan Long will not be evil. He smiled and socialized a few words, showing his kindness.

After the two sides said this a few words, Cang Yuan talked about the reform.

"The reform has been in trouble now." Cang Yuan said distressedly, "Recently, His Royal Highness and the old ministers wrote a letter, believing that the matter of inventorying property should be slowed down and restored to the previous practices - alas! Is it easy to check the property of those high-ranking families? I finally took advantage of the excuse of pursuing the remnants of the hundred families to create a gap in their wall. At this time, we should take advantage of the victory to pursue and expand this gap! If it slows down now and let them block the gap, it will be difficult to investigate it carefully in the future like now!"

Pan Long nodded slightly, agreed with his statement, and asked: "But as far as I heard, His Majesty the Emperor did not seem to have any reaction to these letters. That should be the so-called "stay at the end of the day and not send it out"?"

Cang Yuan sighed: "Listen to the Central Committee and will not post, which means that although he does not agree with the opinions of the memorial, he does not want to criticize, so he will not say anything for the time being. If the public has no response to this matter and is just a discussion in the temple, it is indeed considered as Liusen to the Central Committee and will not post. But now... Brother Pan has been walking among the people for many years and should have a good understanding of the opinions of the people? What do you think of the people's attitude towards reform during this period?"

Pan Long was silent for a moment, then thought for a moment, and asked back: "Which 'folk' are you asking?"

Cang Yuan was slightly stunned, then his eyes lit up, and his voice became louder: "Brother, please talk in detail!"

"I have seen two 'civilians' in the past few years," Pan Long said. "A folk, facing the loess and backs on the sky, working hard every day, and having a few days to rest all year round. The money earned is only to support the family. Once there are natural disasters and man-made disasters, the least they will endure hunger, and the worst of the family will be destroyed. This folk attitude towards reform is generally supported. Especially during this period, the inspectors often go to investigate high-ranking families, and found many corrupt and perverted people, and severely punished... I would like to say that, for this folk, as long as the powerful, powerful and rich people are unlucky, they will be very happy. If they can reduce the burden on them, they will be even more excited."

He smiled and said, "This year, due to the severe cold in late spring, the farmland was seriously affected, and a lot of money and food were needed everywhere to provide disaster relief. Most of the corrupt households who were found to be searched by inspected officials were mostly used by local governments to provide disaster relief. The people were very happy about this."

Cang Yuan smiled, smiling to the point of satisfaction.

"Okay! That's great!" He said with relief, "It's not a waste of my hard work with Brother Luo Nan and I!"

Looking at the unconcealed look of fatigue on his face, Pan Long sighed in his heart.
