Chapter 3: Time wasted in melancholy (1)

. "You don't care about this", Wu Chengsi glared at him fiercely. Just read the novel~

His powerful aunt repeatedly instructed that in this shady situation, no one in the Wu family was allowed to act rashly, and no comments were allowed to spread. But in fact, he was still worried that the crown prince had a very bad impression of him. It turns out that he did not regard Li Wei as the emperor until now, and still considered him a crown prince.

He walked into the house, sat down and took a sip of tea, reported outside, saying that Wu Sansi was looking for a meeting.

"Open the middle door and let him in."

After meeting, Wu Sansi asked, "Have Huanu grown up?"

It refers to a cheetah raised by Wu Cheng. The things raised by people in the Tang Dynasty are very strange. Horses are the most common, including cats, parrots, big cats (Jili), and leopards. They were raised by leopard slaves since childhood, and then they were hunting with them. Most of them were Hu people, and some nobles also trained this fierce animal.

Of course, no one dares to raise tigers.

The small ones include cockfighting and insects. There is also dog, but there is a type of dog that is not allowed to be raised by ordinary families. The fulin dog, which is later Beijing dog, is only allowed to be raised by royal families and first-class imperial families. Pei Yuhe brought one from the palace, but the first day he came to the East Palace, and he had a bad impression of coming to the East Palace on the first day. He got a dirty thing on the ground. Pei Yuhe loved to be clean and immediately sent back to the palace. Since then, the East Palace has only raised some birds. But they are outside the palace and there are servants in the palace to clean it, which looks like they have to be clean.

Li Wei laughed at her for being a stolen bell.

Wu Chengsi's leopard is still young and is being domesticated by a leopard slave.

But Wu Sansi must not have the heart to care about this little leopard at this time. When asked, it was this leopard. Wu Chengsi liked it very much, which was also an excuse.

"I've grown up a lot, I'll take you to see."

When he was brought to the leopard, the leopard slave was feeding beef to the little leopard. He was half old, because he was tamed by others since he was a child, especially Wu Chengsi often came to caress him. When he saw Wu Chengsi coming, he ran over intimately, shook his head and tail and showed arrogance.

Wu Sansi was still afraid and dared not touch him, and said, "This is spirituality."

Refers to the little swallows in the East Palace.

Wu Chengsi smiled and said, "Come on, it's time to have supper, come and have a few cups of wine with me.

"Brother, I dare not accept it."

The servant brought the wine and food. Wu Chengsi waved his hand and asked the servant to go down, raised his wine glass, and met Wu Sansi for a while.

After drinking, Wu Sansi said, "Brother, the prince finally ascended the throne today. Once he ascended the throne, he is worried, I am worried."

"Third brother, don't have such an idea, have you seen it? What's the outcome now from Helan Minzhi to Xu Jingzong, King Yong, and Ming Chongyan?"

"That's why I'm even more worried that Your Majesty is not kind to our Wu family."

This sentence hit Wu Chengsi's heart, and he drank a glass of wine in depression and said, "We are all external powers after all. Your Majesty still has some reason to tell you, let's see how King Yong views our Wu family?"

Wu Sansi frowned, disagreed and said, "Brother, this is not the case, but Your Majesty's methods are more advanced..."

"Even if so, what? The Emperor is old. Besides, you and I (referring to my father) were not kind to the Empress Dowager back then. If you can move back from Lingnan and enjoy this Lugui, it is no longer easy to drink...", and drank another glass.

Today he was also in the court and listened very carefully. There were still opportunities. Li Wei had many suggestions, such as reforming the imperial examination, widely utilizing poor people, and even annexing land, all of which faintly captured the wealthy families of aristocratic families.

In the Tang Dynasty, these aristocratic families represented the reputation of the Qing Dynasty, public opinion, and influence. Even if the emperor issued an edict, the heads of the branches of the five surnames and seven families might not come to the two capitals to pay their respects. They were so proud that they did have the capital to be proud.

Just like my aunt, she dares to kill Concubine Xiao Shu and Queen Wang, how dare she touch the Xiao family in Lanling and the Wang family in Taiyuan? Not to mention the two Cuisines in Qinghe Boling, the two Lis in Longxi Zhaozhou, Fanyang Lu and Mengyang Zheng.

The new emperor's spearhead was a chance. However, this new emperor has a basis for advancement and retreat. Who can unite these famous families to fight against the emperor together? No one in the country has the ability. Besides, the result of the confrontation is good for the martial family?

"Brother, you are still the queen mother. Think about it, this time the emperor ascended the throne, have he ever enrolled in any official position?"

"This is for balance." Wu Chengsi replied without thinking.

The emperor has a great influence in the court. If he is promoted to a close confidant, he will not be relieved even to the emperor. He will also be promoted to a group of ministers into the court. Moreover, they have the exclusive qualifications of officials above the third rank.

"No, brother, think about it again, there are some people who have not taught me."

"You mean Wei Yuanzhong and the others? These people will be taught sooner or later by Your Majesty, but it is not appropriate to do so at this time. It will take a while to give and there will be some transactions."

This transaction is used very vulgarly, but it is indeed the reason. Well, when Wei Yuanzhong and the others come back, Li Wei must give up some of the benefits to his parents.

"It's not them."

"Who is it?"

"On the East Palace."

"It is not easy to teach the Eastern Palace. The Supreme Emperor is still in the world. There are many concubines in the palace. If the empress and noble concubines are appointed, how can the concubines in the harem be dealt with by themselves?"

"It's not them, it's the brothers of the Crown Princess and the two good sisters."

Wei Yue has two older brothers, and his father was in his prime. Pei Yuhe had a father and four older brothers, namely Yang Min's father passed away, and another brother was in the world and was appointed as the imperial palace. No. But at least the prince ascended the throne and had new relatives. These relatives had to be awarded some official honors. Strictly speaking, not only these three people, including Xu Li and Jiang Bier's relatives, also had to be awarded some titles and positions. Shangguan Wan'er and Qiu Renqiu were good, so forget it, they became lonely and not very easy to teach. Ye Ci Mingyue was also difficult to teach. After all, he was a party member, and there would be controversy on the day of ascending the throne.

But it is wrong to not teach anyone.

"Yes, do you mean the Queen Mother still has suspicion about the emperor?"

In terms of qualifications, Wu Chengsi is much stupider than Wu Sansi and is very accustomed. In fact, Li Wei and Qiu Renjie reacted long ago in this article. However, there is no hurry. The status has not stabilized yet. Once it is stable, it will not be too late to be granted again in a few years.

“Absolutely.”

"But so what? Don't you know that this time the Empress Dowager made His Majesty ascend the throne, and he compromised because of His Majesty's losses."

"Brother, you underestimated the Queen Mother, please listen to me..." He said in his ear for a long time.

After hearing this, Wu Chengsi hesitated and said, "It's a good idea, I'm still very worried. It's really not possible. That day, I took the time to see what the empress dowager meant."

"You can ask the Queen Mother for advice. I'll say hello to Your Majesty. Why should I hesitate with my elder brother?"

"No hurry, no hurry, drink wine..."

But Wu Chengsi had already moved.

Li Wei returned to the East Palace after going down court, and was very busy.

First, he ordered the dismissal of the palace maids and asked their families to come and take them back in Luoyang. He didn't need to deal with this with his own hands, just talk. Then he disbanded the five hundred guards he brought, either, or broke up, and reorganized into the Yulin Army. Otherwise, even his mother would not feel relieved.

Then the Zhengshi Hall and the Menxia Provincial Government sent the memorials over.

The memorial was also divided into two parts, part of which was the decision of the Secretariat, which was approved by the Ministry of Education and handed over to the emperor for final review.

These decisions came from the three provinces, all of which were major government affairs. However, Pei Yan was given a point. Hao Chujun, the chief general of the Menxia Province, dismissed the government. He was the second chief general, and he was the affairs of the Menxia Province. He handed over the big decision to Shangyang Palace and the smaller decision to the East Palace.

This is where others have power, and Li Wei lacks experience now. There must be a running-in period, and Liu Rengui did not object.

The second is memorials submitted by various places. Some officials from six ministries and nine temples directly handled the matter, and some even needed to be handed over to the political affairs hall. For example, those who were sentenced to death in ancient times were very cautious when the prisoners were sentenced to death, and the emperor must read it. It may not be true... I have so much energy? But I have to use a pen to click it, and then the officials will do it again, and ask for lenient feelings, and finally the real judgment is made. This is also a major prison, and Li Wei cannot intervene for the time being.

There are other matters, such as major, complex, or difficult to solve. The Zhengshi Hall will handle another batch, and the remaining ones will be handed over to the emperor for review, or will be handed over to the Zhengshi Hall for negotiation and execution.

Pei Yan did not deliberately make things difficult for him. He didn't bother to do such a discerning job. He also divided the severity of the matter. He handed over the important ones to Shangyang Palace and continued to give the queen a headache. The gentle ones were given to the East Palace.

Looking at the memorials that most of the people were tall, Li Wei was very sad.

It is easy to be a foolish emperor, but it is not easy to be a good emperor.

I was about to review it, what should I do? This is the matter that the emperor must do.

A newspaper was circulated outside, saying that Princess Xiangdai was asking for a visit.

What did this European princess do? But he had a intuition in his heart that this princess would be of great use, so he let her in.

Several women in the Eastern Palace looked curiously. It was not because of their appearance. There were many foreigners in the two capitals of the Tang Dynasty, and some European races, with yellow hair and blue eyes. Of course, there were still very few. However, there were many Africans. Later, many black Tang Sancai were unearthed in the Tang Dynasty. It was precisely because many people in the Tang Dynasty now used Africans as slaves.

He is a princess who is curious about European countries and has this identity.

Li Wei didn't say anything and asked, "Your Highness, why are you here so late?"

"I congratulate the prince for being the emperor." I don't know the difference between him, an emperor and a real emperor, and I believe that being the emperor is the number one person in this powerful country like the original emperor.

"Thank you."

"Also, I ask, why is your country tolerating so many heresies?"

"What heresy?"

"That Nestorian."

Nestorianism is also a branch of Christianity, also known as the Eastern Assyrian Church. But it is very different from Western Christianity. It does not recognize Mary as the mother of God, does not use idols, but only retains the cross. It does not recognize the Roman sect's theory of cleansing after death, only worships ancestors, and opposes the theory of transformation, eating vegetarian food, and the academic officials do not eat meat. The academic officials are not appointed by the upper class, but elected.

This sect was in the ninth year of Zhenguan. Aroben, the Persian master, came to Chang'an with scriptures, and presented many magical tricks and treasures to Li Shimin. He was approved by Li Shimin and built temples in Chang'an to spread. However, the names in the middle changed many times. At first, they were called Persian Temple, but later, Roman Nessian Temple and Daqin Temple appeared. Because Li Shimin and Li Zhi both expressed their support, they spread quickly. But few people in the Tang Dynasty knew what the difference between Daqin and Rome were different.

But because of different theories, it is difficult for the people to accept, so the doctrines gradually merged into some Buddhist theories. By this time, the Nestorians in Chang'an and Luoyang had already begun to have some subtle differences from the Nestorians in Persia. Therefore, Li Wei saw the Nestorian Temple and did not think that it was also Christian.

Rome believed that this Christianity was heresy, and even hundreds of years later, Martin Luther clearly characterized it as heresy.

This large group of Europeans and Western Asians came to Luoyang for a long time, but they did not realize it at first. It was not until a long time later that they realized that this Nestorian was the Christian Nestorian opposed by the Holy See.

It took Xiangdai a long time to explain before Li Wei understood.

He was not ashamed, and he didn't know too much, but he was a little displeased, saying, "I am broad-minded and tolerant to the great religion, and gave religion the freedom to spread. Not only Nestorians, but also Buddhism, Taoism, Zorosa, Manichaeism, and even a very small number of Islam brought by a very small number of cannibals. As long as it encourages people to be good, we will support it. But if you want your family to be the best and have the ability to show your gods, let the people believe that they will not expect us to help, nor will you allow you to attack each other and affect social stability."

"Then your Majesty, if I do not hesitate to the Lord, will you support me and marry you?" (To be continued [This article is provided by @天神の生の生]. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations, monthly votes, and your support is my motivation to kiss you.)
