.Chapter 44: Degeneration

Follow the readers' opinions, modify the chapter titles, and do not quote ancient words as chapter titles. This is a transition. Just like the half, the beginning is a brewing process, and the high á is at the back. Please be patient.

Historians faced the west of Xingyang, which was recorded in history as a shoe that broke the ice.

But Li Wei made great sacrifices.

After a long discussion, since I got married, I was the direct daughter of the Zheng family, not the Taiyuan Wang family, who was so jealous of the golden wool. The Zheng family said they wanted to get married in a high-profile manner. In fact, although they agreed, they wanted to compete for a position in their hearts. If they put them in a low-key manner, they would really let the emperor deal with it. Besides, the daughter of the Zheng family cannot put them in a mess and stuff them into the Eastern Palace in a mess, so they hope that the court will make some small changes in the etiquette.

The conditions are not excessive.

However, the Eastern Palace has all the positions, so it is impossible to let the Zheng family daughter go to the Eastern Palace to be a good socialite, so Li Wei went to the Yang Palace and explained.

Since the founding of the country, Li Tang has mostly been close to the powerful and nobles of Guanlong, either the Wang family in Taiyuan, the Xiao family in Lanling or the Pei family in Hedong. These hopes are far from the level of the Zheng family in Xingyang. After hearing this, Li Zhi was very cautious and cultivated for a while. Wu Zetian and Li Wei handled all state affairs on their behalf, and their health gradually improved and their minds became clearer.

The situation in the court did not disappoint him too much. The separation between his son and his wife still maintained his voice, so he began to try to review the memorials again.

After listening to the story of the matter, Li Zhi immediately issued an edict, asking Pei Yuhe to be the queen. He could be slightly lower in the Eastern Palace, but was low-key and quiet, at least he had little hinderment to Li Zhi. Wei Yue was Concubine De, Yang Min was Shunyi, Wan'er was Gentle, Xu Li was Fangyi, Bi'er was Beauty, Di sisters and Ye Ci Mingyue were human.

This is a preliminary discussion. After Li Wei takes power, there will inevitably be changes, but it will be determined by the difference between the superiority and inferiority. Through this relocation, it is also obvious that Li Zhi is still worried about Yang Min's past. As a good wife, Wei Yue is one of the four concubines, but Yang Min is Shunyi. At the same time, it can be seen that Li Zhi feels vaguely about Guan Yi's death and finally feels a little guilty. This put Guan Wan'er and Yang Min in the same train, in Bi'er.

Li Wei did not argue, and when he was listening, Li Zhi asked again: "What are you going to do with the relatives?"

"Father, my son is just to be the governor of the country for the time being, and leave the affairs of the relatives of the outside world for the future," Li Zhi did not mention it, and Li Wei would not let Li Zhi move to the relatives of the outside world again.

This is to free up the position of the four concubines to wait for the daughter of the Zheng family to enter the palace.

After Li Wei returned, he looked at his father's next move. Sure enough, in order to balance, Li Zhi issued another edict, and promoted Wu Sansi to the marquis, Wu Youji, Wu Youzhi and Wu Youyi to the Count, and each was promoted to official positions.

If you don’t compete for relatives, otherwise you will be promoted more.

Start discussing relatives.

...

It became colder, and the good news about Pei Xingjian reached the capital. Li Zhilong was very happy and feasted his ministers in Yang Palace. However, the situation in the Eastern Turks continued to deteriorate.

The recruitment of Xin across the country has more or less delayed the construction of Danshui Canal.

But this is not the main thing, the main thing is the pressure of the court's finances.

The emergence of Li Wei improved the financial situation of the Tang Dynasty. But what improved was that in the future, the bloody battle in Qinghai lasted several times longer than history, the war situation was bad, and the pensions after the war were heavy. Although Tubo was dragged down and the situation became worse, the Tang Dynasty firmly gained an advantage in Qinghai, but the funds used exceeded the original Li Jingxuan's Qinghai Battle. In addition to the construction of the two channels, the current finance of the Tang Dynasty is not better than the current finance of the Tang Dynasty in history.

However, as Li Wei was waiting for it, the Japanese envoy, the riverside beast, returned to the Central Plains again.

He told the situation to the country, and misinterpreted Liu Rengui's voice, reporting that once Japan sent troops, the Tang Dynasty would inevitably send a large army to attack Luo. Then he asked Liang Jinzhu's subordinates to demonstrate the weapons one by one, and the king and his subjects of the Tang Dynasty's ship and watched it with their own eyes.

Everyone agreed in their hearts and still had some doubts, so they immediately returned to the Tang Dynasty and rushed to Luoyang with Liang Jinzhu at the speed.

In winter, when I woke up early, a thin layer of ice began to form in the drainage ditch in front of the hall. Wei Yue was wearing a thick winter dress and said, "Your Majesty, when will we go back to Chang'an?"

Her home is in Jingzhao County, and the Eastern Palace in Luoyang is also small. Staying inside is like a prison, I miss Chang'an.

"I don't know," Li Wei shook his head blankly.

My father was not only in Luoyang, but also in Yanggong. He never left him. If his father didn't go back, he couldn't go back, so he had to argue with each other.

"When will the Zheng family's little lady get married?"

"Don't worry, in my heart, it's your morality, not your family background..." Li Wei said, stroking her little head.

When the daughter of the Zheng family entered the palace, she did not threaten Guan Wan'er and Bi'er, and even Yang Min. Anyway, Pei Yuhe and Wei Yue were also there, so it was not their turn to take charge of the harem in the future. However, Pei Yuhe and Wei Yue felt a strong threat. Moreover, Zheng Gongchu had seen it many times, not only did he choose family background, appearance and behavior, which seemed a bit unfavorable to both of them.

"Here."

At this moment, the eunuch outside said, "The Japanese envoy, the beast on the river, was born to see him."

When Li Wei heard this, he was overjoyed, but said, "I won't see you."

Reject immediately.

When he came, he started talking about reselling arms. He was the emperor, and he talked about profit and business. When the ministers learned that many people would impeach him. Therefore, he did not take the initiative and used Liang Jinzhu to discuss with the Japanese envoy.

Sure enough, in the afternoon, Liang Jinzhu came to ask for a meeting and asked someone to bring Liang Jinzhu in.

After bowing down and bowing down, Li Wei asked him to sit down, and Liang Jinzhu said again: "I am grateful to Your Majesty."

It does not refer to Li Wei's help, but to the affairs of the Zheng family's daughter. Although she changed her surname and married, she was eventually the daughter of the Zheng family. After this daughter arrived at his family, she almost treated her as an ancestor. Fortunately, this woman was a concubine and had a low status in the Zheng family and did not develop the bad habit of being arrogant.

"It's okay, the Zheng family did a little bit of this matter, and I feel wronged you."

"Your Majesty, how dare I do it."

"I'm married, don't mention it again, talk about the serious matter."

"Here, all the Japanese envoys along the way were with me and talked a lot. They wanted to adopt His Majesty's expedient approach, but they had a few doubts."

"."

"Their Japanese country is small and not an enemy of the Tang Dynasty. If they occupy the territory of the Luo people, how can the Tang Dynasty allocate them?"

He actually had this idea, and he was really ignorant of the world. No wonder he dared to call himself the emperor and said with a smile: "You can convey to him that as long as they occupy the territory, as long as they can occupy it, they are all from Japan."

"Your Majesty, that's not good."

"The Luo people are tenacious. Our Tang Dynasty is so big that it is very difficult to capture it. Later, we had to give up. Moreover, their small Japanese country is fighting across the sea. Since they have this idea, what's the point of making a promise? This is a military and national plan..."

"I've said too much."

"It's okay, you have good intentions, what about?"

"He also said that their Japanese country was small and had poor production. The murder of the envoy was not only about their face, but also about the face of the Tang Dynasty. I hope that our dynasty would be more favorable when providing weapons."

"You have a good idea to make. You told him that you can give me some discounts, but it is limited. Luo is far away. Our dynasty is useless to occupy it. And we have been surrendering to our dynasty in recent years. Now we make an exception and provide their weapons. These weapons are all prohibited from aiding abroad, and have expressed their intentions. It is possible to send troops to cooperate and allow them to gain land and people. We cannot ask too much."

"Yes, it was their envoy who remembered a story, Yelang was arrogant."

This Japanese country is not as simple as Yelang, but he didn't say it, "No matter what their mentality is, you can say to him, remember, it's what you said, not from your own words. Although paying for weapons and ships put a lot of pressure on their Japanese economy, it occupied Luo, but it had a lot of wealth." Speaking of this, Li Wei thought of another thing. Pei Xingjian easily defeated the Ashinadu branch and Li Zhefu's troops, and also obtained a large amount of gold, silver and jewelry, which slightly relieved the pressure on the court. However, because the appeasement policy was the main focus, he did not dare to do too much and did not increase the interests. It was a pity. He also said, "Not only wealth, but also population. The Central Plains lacked troops now. As long as they could attack Luo, there were many people. After being shipped to Dengzhou, a subordinate could be sold for several warehouses, or even more than a dozen warehouses. How many people did the Luo people have?"

"His Majesty……"

"No need to say too much, it won't be that simple. This is to give them a motivation. Otherwise, they will not be able to slap the people, and the number of people will be reduced sharply. It will be beneficial to our dynasty. They did it, not me, and they will reduce their verbalism."

"Yes, they have another request..." Liang Jinzhu hesitated.

"explain."

"They want His Majesty to marry their princess, or let the princess of the Tang Dynasty marry." He also knew that something was wrong, and after saying that, he looked at Li Wei with grudges.

"They are confused." Li Wei didn't say anything yet, Guan Wan'er screamed in anger.

"Wan'er, don't be angry. What the emperor of Japan could not have imagined was that this envoy came all the way and heard that I was about to welcome the daughter of the Zheng family, or heard Ye Ci Mingyue enthronement, and he thought of the idea that he had the Turks or Tubo in Japan as powerful as that of Turks."

"Here."

Liang Jinzhu left, although the negotiations were not reached, the previous two replies had already made the riverside beasts very satisfied and began to discuss the prices of weapons and ships. Liang Jinzhu often went to the palace to report. Li Wei attaches great importance to this because China has almost opened up civilizations in all countries around Asia. Even if Europeans later rose, without the activation of Chinese civilization, these countries would not have been able to fail to destruction like the Indians.

From ancient times to the future, China only adopted the tribute system for these countries. You gave some small gifts and immediately brought out the grand rewards of gold and silver. Then you taught you the skills and taught you how to farm. Even in the Ming Dynasty, because there were many countries with tribute, the rewards became a burden to the country, and the number of tributes in these countries was reduced. But how did these countries repay them later?

This talks are a small start, very important for the present and the future, and will reverse the knowledge of the Chinese people. At least we will not forget the Qin Dynasty's far-reaching and near attacks, making the policy aggressive. The profits will not count, but we will not be surrenders.

If done well, it will cause an important change in the future.
