Chapter 594 (2/2)

”Li Siwen? Have you identified him? ” Li Hong was surprised. What did Li Siwen do at this time?

What's more, Li Siwen is the second son of Li Ji, a British Duke. Li Jingye's uncle has been serving as governor of Runzhou. It's unusual to come here at this time.

At that time, the British Duke Li Ji went through Gaozu and Taizong, until his father and emperor ascended the throne. He was an important official in the imperial court. The governor of Yangzhou was the royal family's commendation for him. It is needless to say that he was given the surname Li.

This is also why Yangzhou and other places, the British male Li Ji heirs hold more posts.

Just like the important officials in other places, they were also controlled by the descendants of important officials who followed Gaozu and Taizong at that time. Basically, it was very difficult for foreign ministers to make a difference after taking office here.

Either they were assimilated by them and were in the same company with them. With the help of the five surnames and seven hopes, although this place is not like a small court, it is not too much to say that it is a vassal of one side. Even if the imperial court's orders are here, it is not as good as a governor's words.

Or they are not willing to associate with them. If they come here for less than a year, they will be transferred back by the imperial court because of various other problems.

Then there are five surnames, seven hopes or officials related to the six ministries, who jointly recommend other officials to serve here, so that their small circle can form a strong protection circle among the huge interest chains.

Therefore, in the background of the current affairs, the Tang Dynasty had to restrict them in the system when they attacked the five surnames, seven hopes and aristocrats.

That was to weaken the power of Dudu, to recover the power to the imperial court, and then appoint Jiedushi to run the position of governor. But in the end, because of the imperfection of its system, jiedusi became the largest vassal of Tang Dynasty.

Li Hong's determination to break the family's monopoly over the local areas led to the imperial court being bigger than the local officials.

Therefore, Li Jingye's family is naturally the first to bear the brunt of the reform, not to mention Li Jingye has long been rebellious.

Now, Li Siwen, the second son of Li Ji, the uncle of Li Jingye, went to Hangzhou to meet him at such a sensitive time. Li Hong had to pay attention to it.

”Yes, please.” After hearing the report from cheetah, Li Hong said firmly after thinking about it.

The eldest daughter chucked her mouth unwillingly and quickly changed the tea set and table table used by Li Chongyi and Li Hong with the other two maidens in Li's family who served Li Hong and Bai Chun.

Looking at Li Hong, who is so grandiose and solemn, she is a little surprised.

How could he treat him politely because he was a courtier? Would you even show that kind of attitude that attaches great importance to others?

The best porcelain tea sets, log tables, tea sea, etc. are all replaced by new ones.

”You need to bathe and change clothes, burn incense and play the piano to meet your ministers.” The eldest daughter looked at the lazy sitting there, looking at their busy prince, said sour.

However, the Japanese princess, who had no intention of serving Li Hong, seemed to have forgotten her original vows. At the moment, she was complaining and tidying up the tea sets on the sea and started a new round of tea making.

The first feeling that Li Siwen gives people is that he is very dusty. He seems to have come here, but he can still feel the dust on his body.

”Li Siwen, governor of Runzhou, met his royal highness.” Li Siwen walked quickly to the front of the ceremony.

”Please get up and sit down.” Li Hong stretched out his hand and said.

After he sat down, Li Siwen also sat down opposite Li Hong. He took the wet towel from the maid, wiped the sweat on his face, and looked at the imperial daughter next to Li Hong. It was different from the legendary beautiful woman who came down to the earth like an immortal beside the prince.

Is not a white dress such as snow, hair such as waterfall hanging behind? Why is this woman different from the legend?
