Chapter 389: Peace is Precious (2)
Chapter 389: Harmony is the most important (2)
Lao Wu’s mistakes have to be wrong. I’m too lazy to modify them. The funniest and most embarrassing plot in the next chapter is about to come.
====================
“……. That’s how it is.”
After listening to Li Jingxuan's words, Dai Zhide was silent for a long time. No wonder he always felt something was wrong in many places. How could King Yong do this?
"Dao Gong, this matter must not be hyped. Once it is hyped, the country will be in turmoil and uneasy. You also read more history books. When fighting for the throne, there will be many scandals. The country cannot be without a leader. For the sake of the country... it is best to see if the prince can escape by chance. If he cannot escape, it is not necessarily too evil to have Prince Yong as the prince. The emperor is worse than one year, and the crown prince of the country must decide as soon as possible."
"But such a person..." Dai Zhide couldn't help but shake his head.
"The emperor is in good health, otherwise he can still take a look at King Zhou. Let Li bear all the sins."
Dai Zhide sat in the carriage and looked at Li Jingxuan suspiciously. Li Jingxuan did a very wise job in this matter. Except for reporting to the emperor immediately, no one else said it, including Wang Gao and Cao Huaishun, who didn't know. Why tell him?
You can also tell yourself that you came to find out the truth about the Qinghai war. But Dai Zhide vaguely felt that Li Jingxuan had other intentions, or hoped that he could be fair and say something good for him. Li Jingxuan had been selecting officials in the Ministry of Personnel for many years, and countless officials have received his favor, including ministers from the Yongwang faction. If these important officials spoke for him, they could turn big things into small things. He blocked the responsibility on himself, and the two emperors also knew what they thought, and some punishments could be reduced at that time...
Or is it really a conscience discovery?
I can't guess thoroughly, the carriage squeaked and squeaked, and gradually came out of Qinghai under the wind and snow.
...
In the Eastern Palace, in Mingde Hall, the banquet of Li Lusheng began.
Because it was the imperial edict issued by the queen, there were many guests, including all the prime ministers.
Bier welcomed Li Lugong, who had not completely broken off her milk, and Liu Rengui stepped over and leaned over with his head. This stooping ceremony is not a kneeling ceremony. He bent over deeply, and his knees do not need to touch the ground. The lower the bend, especially when he touched the ground with his head, the heaviest etiquette was.
This is guilt and apology.
Although he didn't understand politics, Bier knew that it was actually not very related to Liu Rengui, so he quickly helped him and said, "Grandpa Liu, don't accept this great gift."
Liu Rengui stood up again, and Bier said, "Lu'er, please call Liu Xianggong."
"Hello, Mr. Liu," Li Lu said in a silence.
Seeing Li Lu's clear and transparent big eyes, Liu Rengui stood aside in shame and didn't even dare to raise his head.
Then the prime ministers, Bier asked Li Lu to shout it out one by one, and then returned the gift.
Many prime ministers have seen Bier once or twice before. In their minds, they thought Bier was a humble little palace maid. Today they realized that it was wrong, very respectful and generous. Suddenly, they thought of a word, "Zhu, who is close to Zhu, and Mo who is close to Mo. As the prince likes, how could it be just a little palace maid? Or, Ye Zhiqiu, you can see some shadows of the prince from this little palace maid.
But when it was Zhang Da'an, Bier finally gritted her teeth and said for most of the day: "I am from a humble background, but I want to say something on behalf of the prince. As a prime minister, you must have some conscience and morality. Not only His Highness, but also tens of thousands of poor soldiers. They have parents, wives, children, and young people. I wonder if you can sleep at night with peace of mind?"
"Liangyuan, Zhang didn't expect it, I'm ashamed." Anyway, Zhang Da'an became shameless even after reaching this point.
Bier was finally a slut, and the other party was a powerful prime minister. He bit him without saying a word and returned the favor to the next one.
When it arrived at Pei Yan, Pei Yan suddenly said: "Good will be rewarded with good deeds, and evil will be rewarded with evil. It is not that you will not be rewarded. The time will not come. This is some of Pei's intentions."
As he said that, he took out a gift box, which was a jade gui. The whole jade color was crystal clear, and the scenery behind him could be seen faintly. The workmanship was also very fine, with auspicious cloud patterns and several dragons painted. Several prime ministers who had passed away stopped when they saw this.
This Yugui is not expensive, not only Yugui, but Gui, but it is expensive.
Then I looked at Pei Yan together. If it were someone else, Pei Yan's outside scene looked good and very honest. The salary of officials in the Tang Dynasty was good, but it was not easy to live in the capital, the prices were expensive, and they had to communicate with each other. Therefore, relying solely on salary, life was still very hard. Either, relying on the name, other industries, buying farms, and setting up workshops. Either the family's conditions were good and the assets were rich. Or there was a publicly allowed opportunity to receive bribes, family's birthday, marriage, birth, old age, sickness and death, four seasons and eight festivals, and the guests were guests, so they could not come empty-handed. This was also an opportunity to make money. Or directly embezzled and accepted bribes.
If there are no four points above and the emperor does not give much reward, then he has to live a hard life. Pei Yan belongs to this type of person, very noble, rarely interacts with officials, and is from the Pei family, but the Pei family is extremely large, you are all officials, and it is impossible for the family to support you. So life is not very good.
What does Pei Yan mean?
Bier was also stunned for a moment, but still reacted and said, "Xiao Lu, call Mr. Pei."
"Hello, Xianggong Pei."
"Okay, okay, I see some shadows of the prince, and I feel moved," Pei Yan said and walked in.
This sentence is more meaningful, and Bier almost forgot to return Wang Dezhen's courtesy.
After walking in, Pei Yuhe took several concubines from the East Palace to greet him, and then laid a soft cushion on the ground. There was a basin of charcoal fire in front of each of them. It didn't cost much, so she was very considerate. Many ministers who were close to the prince, when they saw the quiet and beautiful concubines from the East Palace, were silent again and felt guilty. Why couldn't they remember to stop the emperor's edict?
Zhang Da'an felt sad. After all the calculations, he calculated that he would not have one person. This little prince is actually qualified. Take a look. If the emperor intends to make the little prince a crown prince, at least four or five prime ministers would agree immediately. Fortunately, it was born to a palace maid. If it was born to a crown prince, it is possible that King Yong could not beat this breastfeeding child.
Ministers entered one after another, and then went to several princes and Li Lingyue. But Li Xian did not come, not because he was ashamed, but because he would not come to find something boring. Everyone came together, and the main person was going to play. Even Li Zhi came with Wu Zetian while he was sick.
Being ready to go to the East Palace, Wu Zetian suddenly said to Li Shoucheng: "Li Shoucheng, there must be some people in the Mingde Palace thinking, fortunately, King Lu was born to a palace maid."
"Yes." Li Shoucheng replied. No matter what, Bier's identity is too low.
"All of them have good plans, but what would happen if I send King Lu as the adopted son of the Crown Princess in the future?"
Li Shoucheng's eyes lit up and said, "This strategy is very wonderful."
Once you become Pei Yuhe's son, will there still be a problem with your identity?
In terms of the art of power and strategy, these people are too far from Wu Zetian.
When they arrived at Mingde Hall, everyone saluted. Li Zhi said, "My dear friends, please calm down."
Gradually, he came back from his grief and looked slightly better. When the minister sat down again, Wu Zetian suddenly said: "Today is the birthday of King Lu, and I will announce good news again."
As he said that, Li Shoucheng took a scroll, Wu Zetian opened it and said, "This year the country has a bumper harvest, but there is another news that everyone has not noticed, that is Haishi. The three major market departments, Guangzhou is today to winter months, and the tax revenue is 314,200 yuan. Quanzhou is 366,320 yuan. Suzhou is 637,15 yuan."
This customs income was drizzling in the Song Dynasty, but it was not great in the Tang Dynasty.
His Highness immediately whispered.
How long has it been, I have more than one million yuan in money. It has not yet reached the end of the year, and the data on the end of the year are more considerable.
There was a disadvantage of the Tang Dynasty. Private invasion was serious, not that it was not that it was not that it was not that it was rich. The wealth was in the wealthy family of the people, but that the country was not rich. So many ministers later made money randomly, forcing more than one million yuan in money. The two channels ended. The country spent a lot of money. The welfare of officials, or the desire to do something, was not a problem.
Wu Zetian waved his hand to calm everyone down, and said, "In addition, there is a book written by Di Renjie in this palace, which has a passage written on it. This is this year, and there are many new ships in Quanzhou that will be launched, and there will be more income every year. Therefore, we ask the court to be honest in any case, and the officials of the selected Maritime Bureau must be honest. That is, by next year, it may be tax revenue of 1.5 million yuan or 2 million yuan or 2 million yuan.”
This number shocked all ministers again.
"This reminds me of the prince. He knew that the two canals cost a lot, but he still started construction. So that's the case, I can't do it. But His Majesty and I were blinded by a group of villains. I felt very guilty about the prince, His Majesty and I."
After hearing this sentence, many ministers changed their faces. Then they looked at Li Zhi and saw that Li Zhi was very calm. Obviously, when Wu Zetian said this, she was allowed by the emperor.
Does this mean what direction of the wind?
Just click until the time comes, just suppress the officials' limelight for joining the second son. Wu Zetian raised his wine glass, poured it on the sky and the ground, and it was not until the third cup that he picked it up and said, "I wish God open his eyes and bless Honger to return safely."
Drink it with your neck.
"I wish the prince peace," all the ministers raised their glasses and drank.
The banquet dispersed, and the ministers looked cautious. It was not only a banquet, but this banquet revealed too much information. As Hao Chujun said, the Tang Dynasty was in chaos. The saddest thing was a group of ministers who wanted to speculate, like a group of dizzy flies, and didn't know where to fly.
...
At this time, in the distant West, a huge team was advancing against the storm.
Night comes and camp begins.
Princess Xiangdai came to Hu Ying's tent and asked in a less scattered Tang Dynasty saying: "Amistant, I heard something."
"What's up?"
"You Tang Dynasty people can have many wives, a man."
"yes."
"Lord, please forgive these sinners."
Hu Ying laughed. These Catholic rules are that a husband is only allowed to have one wife. But this is true. The Tang Dynasty was open enough, but compared with these Westerners, I don’t know how good it is. The one who had a love affair with each other, and even had a husband who was honored by his wife’s love. If there is a Lord, he would forgive the sinner. This person mainly thought about it carefully. He said: "Princess, if you regret it, you can go back immediately."
"I will keep myself clean."
"That's fine, why don't you convert to Taoism and Buddhism? There are many female Taoist priests and nuns who don't have to marry for the rest of their lives, so you can avoid sharing a husband with other women."
"Ambassador, you are not allowed to insult my faith."
"Okay, stop believing. Our Prince of Tang Dynasty never believes in that religion, but it is admired by all people."
After hearing him mention the prince countless times along the way, Xiangdai asked curiously: "What kind of person is that prince?"
