Crown Tang emperor

"If this statement makes sense, if I interrogate you as a case, it means that the king is narrow-minded and cannot tolerate the laws and ethics of the country?"

When Wu Zetian heard this, he looked at the young king with a half-smile and said.

After Li Tong heard the words, he bowed his head and bowed again, and his tone returned to respectful: "This is the crime of my minister. I am arbitrarily allowed to worry about the two powers of love and law. But I can not let the emperor's love and morality be violated." Wounded by the evil deeds of the Dharma, if you talk about facts, you have no shame in your heart."

You are my grandma, seeing your little grandson being blackmailed by wicked people on the road, but afraid to make a sound, do you think you have face?

Wu Zetian sat high on it, looking down at the young king's plausible expression, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, although there was a bit of appreciation in his eyes, but more of it was playfulness.

She waited until the young king had finished speaking and was out of words, then she knocked on the imperial case again, and raised her tone and said coldly: "A lot of miscellaneous theories are just pampering and indulging yourself. Do you think that in Xijing? Why, can you hide it from the world?"

Hearing this, Li Tong couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.So he is very disgusted with dealing with his grandma, you can't say it one by one?Don't talk nonsense, nonsense.I committed a lot of things in Xijing, what should I say?

He didn't have time to think about it. After hearing the words, he hurriedly leaned over and put his forehead on the back of his hand, and said in a loud voice: "It's not a short time for me to avoid the world. When I first came out, I was unfamiliar with human affairs. When I was in Xijing, it was fortunate that King Jian'an took care of Gu Chui." Teaching, fortunately, there is no major mistake. Although there are minor twists and turns in everything I do, fortunately, I have taken care of them in Xijing, so that the previous plan will not be scrapped..."

Since his grandma said that, then what she said must not be a good thing.Of course, Li Tong couldn't just invite Wu Youyi to testify for him without calling himself in when the situation was unclear.

After Wu Zetian heard this, he sneered: "How dare you bring up this festival? King Jian'an treated you with great righteousness. He has a lot of words to help you in the past and the present. Maybe it's not because he treats you, but because he loves his family's wealth. You can go ahead and drive him away with the people of Xijing."

Li Tong couldn't help sweating when he heard the words, but he was not surprised that his grandma knew what he was doing with Wu Youyi. After all, Wu Youyi was a big-mouthed and unreliable person, and it was impossible for his grandma to only monitor her grandson and not monitor her. Nephew, it's quite normal to know that Wu Youyi entrusted his family wealth to him before leaving Chang'an.

"Although King Jian'an's love is slow and late, his heart is simple and he is not good at pretentiousness. I feel honored to be able to form friendship with him and to entrust things to each other."

Hearing what the young king said, Wu Zetian sneered and said: "He is stupid because he is a bit stupid. After all, he is an elder. He is willing to entrust you with important matters, so it can be seen that he treats each other sincerely. Xijing Fangrong waits for you to enter the table, how dare you say that you are the same as you?" It doesn't matter?"

If you say this, I'm relieved.

Li Tong was originally worried that his grandma might know that Wu Youyi was robbed by him, but what he knew was only superficial, so he lowered his head and said: "Fang Rong and Chen's family do have an old relationship, and it was reworked when we were in Xijing." Continued. At that time in Xijing, King Jian'an was indeed not suitable to stay any longer. If he stayed for a long time, it would not only harm his feelings and affairs, but also his own safety would be unpredictable. Therefore, I lobbied Fang Rong and asked him to make a statement..."

Since his grandma concluded that Fang Rong's performance was instigated by him through mutual friendship, Li Tong simply admitted it directly: If I don't admit to some dirty things of forming a party for personal gain, you may have to wonder if I am your kind .

"So, it's for his own good that you make people say goodbye to King Jian'an? Regardless of whether it's up to you to stay in the important position in Xijing, driving people away and accepting the family's wealth with a smile, it's just out of kindness, thank you for being able to say it!"

Hearing his grandma say this, Li Tong couldn't help but feel embarrassed. It turns out that he is indeed a joke, but he still wants to ask, do you just say that the taste is right?

"Xijing stays behind and leaves without saying a word. The magistrate of Chang'an, Zemen, is loyal to his old relatives. The county magistrate of ten thousand years will present his son and nephew to the house. You are a junior, but you have the ability to lay people down. Why do you want to exploit these things? "

When Wu Zetian spoke up to this point, there was already a bit of chill in his tone, and his gaze towards the young king also became sharp.

After Li Tong heard the words, he broke out in a cold sweat.There are many things that can be done but cannot be said. He is quite happy doing things in Chang'an, and now listening to his grandma's detailed counting, it makes him consciously want to separate himself from Guanzhong.

He could tell that the coldness in his grandma's tone was by no means false, even if it was only on the surface, his personnel relationship in Chang'an was really amazing, and the situation on the scene was almost unified.

Of course, this is just an illusion, not to mention that even if Wu Youyi left, the officials and soldiers in Xijing's left-behind mansion would not be called upon by him, not to mention the intricate relationship of those nobles in Guanlong, it is really difficult to get deeply involved.

And whether it was Xue Jichang, who was sent by the imperial court before, or Wei Yuanzhong, who had been hiding in the dark, these were not characters that Li Tong could control.If he can really coordinate all kinds of relations in Xijing, then what kind of **** capital is he?

But no matter what the truth is, since Wu Zetian raised this question, Li Tong had to take it seriously.While thinking about how to deal with it, he couldn't help but cast a glance at Shangguan Wan'er. Just now, talking and laughing all the way made him mistakenly think that his grandma wouldn't study him too deeply, but now she has made a point of condemnation.

Shangguan Wan'er is actually a little nervous at the moment, she has the empress's trust, but the empress will not give everything to her, like today's reprimand of the young king, she did not see the slightest clue, at the same time I was worried that the young king's answer could not cater to the king's heart.

"I dare not say anything about all the schemes that I have made..."

"speak!"

Wu Zetian let out a cold snort again, completely losing the previous tolerance of listening to the young king's nonsense patiently.

"The minister is for revenge!"

Li Tong gritted his teeth, made a look of making a painful decision, and said in a deep voice: "I don't know why I offended the famous sect in Guanzhong, and made an actor stab me. Fortunately, the door servants were alert and rescued me in time. I don't dare to think about it. How can I hold back when someone wants to harm me. Knowing that his family is powerful, even if he pays the punishment clearly, he may not get good results, and it may even make people even more difficult.

Ministers in the world, there is really very little personnel.Although there is God's grace to rely on, this matter is also a big plan to celebrate the longevity of King Xi, and I dare not waste the big because of the small.So I plan on my own plan, and I want to recruit personnel in Xijing, and beat that clan who bullied the weak and harmed me! "

"Unexpectedly, the naughty boy who played in the courtyard in the old days now has a biting tiger and wolf! I still don't believe it when Wei Yuanzhong recounted all the feelings in Xijing. But seeing that you have just returned to the capital, you dare to make trouble and commit murder. It's true." I have to believe it."

Wu Zetian let out a long sigh, raised his hand and threw down a memorial and said, "Show it to him."

Wei Tuan'er with a pale face and vain steps hurried forward to pick up the memorial and handed it to the young king. Li Tong took the memorial and gave her a reassuring look.

He had suspected for a long time that Wei Yuanzhong, an old boy, did not do good things behind his back, and he really hid it to get his black material and sue him.However, after Li Tong took over the performance and had a quick look at it, he found that Wei Yuanzhong's performance was somewhat protective of him.

Of course, it is not to say good things for him directly in words, but to directly confirm many ambiguous things, excluding other more sinister possibilities.For example, when the Dou family's woman died tragically in the Inspiration Temple, Wei Yuanzhong said that it was the young king's work, instead of suspecting the young king's work in a speculative tone.

For the king, it is more reassuring to directly characterize a matter than a more doubtful matter.If Wei Yuanzhong only said that the young king was suspected, then Wu Zetian would inevitably have to think about what method was used, how could the relevant evidence be erased, and whether the Xijing officials deliberately concealed it?

But if it is affirmative, there is no need to associate too much.It is not difficult for a Zongwang to murder a woman from another family, there are not too many methods to choose from.

But even so, Li Tong secretly hated Wei Yuanzhong in his heart, you old boy sued me for being tricky, don't fall into my hands in the future!

He didn't dare to look at the memorial list carefully. After a quick glance, he stepped forward with both hands, and bowed his head and said: "The minister is guilty, and I will respect the holy judge." On the itinerary, he did not take office for a long time. After entering the country, he did not set up official ceremonies. Instead, he went into the wild in fish uniforms. who……"

When Wu Zetian heard these words, he really laughed angrily: "It's hard for the chief of Xiantai to be beaten to bed by you. His own guilt is not yet clear, and he dares to indiscriminately bomb the minister who tried your crime. How can a person who claims to be outside the law be able to do so?" Completely disregarding the majesty of the national law? Do you think I really can't bear to punish you severely?"

The more fierce Wu Zetian's tone became, the more relieved Li Tong was.It's not like his grandma is too idle, if she really wants to ask her, she won't talk so much nonsense with him.

Moreover, he did all these things to help his grandma.Divided the Wu family son, severely injured Dou's relatives.Although there is a suspicion of forming a clique for personal gain, but I want to run the Dou family, can I do it without help?

In order not to delay wishing you a long life, I will deal with such a strong opponent by myself, unlike Wu Youyi who only knows how to come back and cry for grievances.Even when you got into trouble and squatted in Ciwutai and didn't dare to come out, you still remember to ask Li Xianzong to go to Lingnan to observe the rising star and wish you a birthday.

All kinds of piles are all centered on you, and all the stars in the sky want to pick you.Just think about it carefully, apart from your husband, Emperor Gaozong who was promoted by Guoqi, is there any other man in this world who treats you as well as I do!

Chapter 0310 is worthy of Zaifu, the qualifications are not up to date

In the hall of the Xishang Pavilion, Wu Zetian looked down at the young king who bowed respectfully and respectfully, and frowned slightly.

She knew that this kid was by no means as honest as he appeared on the surface, and even if she confessed a lot under her own pressure, she was afraid that there would still be more hidden secrets.

But even if she knew this, she wasn't too dissatisfied with the young king.

Having been the master for a long time, she certainly understands that these ministers are extremely loyal in words, but in fact they each have their own schemes, and they can be called good talents if they can balance public and private interests, but if they harm the public because of selfishness, it is testing her to tolerate bottom line.

Wu Zetian did not reject the fact that Hedong Wangying formed his party feathers.Even before this kid returned to the capital, she herself had many considerations in this regard. She wanted to select a few people who could help the young king in public and private, and hoped to tap more of this kid's potential so that the court Oscillations no longer tend to be polarized.

If there is any dissatisfaction or surprise, it is that this kid's ability is somewhat beyond Wu Zetian's own expectations.

When Wei Yuanzhong reported the current personnel situation in Xijing, Wu Zetian was really surprised.

This kid has not been in Xijing for a long time, and at the beginning, Jian'an Wang Wu Youyi was watching him.Of course, considering Wu Youyi's lack of talent and ability, his role can be ignored, but the time will not be long.

This kid was able to recruit so many officials and people in the market in Xijing, and he also caused great trouble for the Dou family in Chang'an City.It should be known that for a wealthy family in Guanlong like the Dou family, even Wu Zetian would have to think twice and carefully about the timing of their confrontation.

Although many important figures of the Dou family are now deliberately appointed by Wu Zetian or detained in the capital of the gods, Chang'an City is where their ancestral business is located, and it has its own nostalgia to help.

Wu Youyi stayed in Xijing for such a long time, except for occasional extortion of property, basically he just maintained the situation that the well water does not interfere with the river water, and could not deeply shake the power of the Dou family.

When Wu Zetian first knew about this, Wu Zetian was really wary of this kid's ability, and was already considering whether it would be feasible to introduce this kid into the current situation and train him?

But she had to admit that this kid was indeed knowledgeable and useful.Compared with her group of nephews in the Wu family, it can be said to be a pleasant surprise.

A smart person must have an active mind and a lot of scheming. Rather than being vigilant, Wu Zetian was a little worried about this grandson.I'm worried that this kid, relying on his dexterity, will unknowingly cross the threshold.

There is no shortage of smart people in the world, but countless people died under her orders.So Wu Zetian planned to make a little beating and wait for the aftereffect.The reason why she directly showed Wei Yuanzhong's memorial to the young king was that she had this idea: you boy, don't think that there are no people in the court, if my wife is willing, she can reveal all your little secrets in an instant.

After pondering for a while, she said earnestly and earnestly: "I thought that you would be more calm and self-conscious because of your nature. But think about it for yourself, can you be said to have a clear conscience despite all the things you have done since then? Many crimes There are already many evil words waiting for people to ask about their deeds. If you do something, you need to defend yourself with all your tongue. Isn't this in itself unreasonable?"

Hearing Wu Zetian speak to him in such a tone, Li Tong was a little surprised. He could only strongly hint in his heart that he was definitely not a dick. With an unstoppable look, he replied with a trembling voice: "I have been weak for a long time. Fortunately, I have been sheltered by my benefactor. In recent years, I have become more and more vigorous, and my words and deeds are indeed inappropriate. I have a lot of pretense, but I am afraid that I will lose my benefactor. Loves protection, but forgets the clear mirror of the sky, the straight hole and the hidden song."

"It's good to speak from the bottom of your heart! Knowing that you are intelligent and empathetic, I tell you these things. I have my own ethics and laws in my heart. But since I am the master of others, sometimes I must put the law before the emotion. Wei Yuanzhong is a man of humerus who has been in the country for a long time. He will ignore his duties in order to make things difficult for you, a mere junior? The reason why I wrote this in a hurry is because I don’t want to see me lose my loved ones again, and admonish you before you get lost back."

When Wu Zetian spoke up to this point, his expression became serious again: "Since you are honest about your crimes, but you still talk about the minister's right and wrong, should this be right?"

After Li Tong heard the words, he secretly laughed in his heart, your humerus was almost killed by yourself as early as the beginning of the year.Isn't it just to provoke me to show me the secret performance now, so that I don't want to use my brains on ministers of that level?

"Your Majesty Meng Lang made a mistake in his speech at the time, and he was willing to accept the punishment. But, even without Wei Yuanzhong's presentation, I would not dare to hide the achievements of Xijing from His Majesty. It's just that the current miscellaneous matters are delayed, and there is no time to report them."

When Li Tong talked about this, his heart suddenly moved, and he continued: "Your Majesty embraces the world with his chest, and covers the common people with his hands. As soon as the minister Zongzhi is young and weak, and the common people are pawns, life and death come from here, and honor and disgrace are not out of the question. It is not a sacred teaching." The admonition, it is really difficult to distinguish within this vastness."

After Wu Zetian heard the words, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and after a while, he sighed again: "However, such clever words can call out kindness. You, sooner or later, will suffer from the cleverness of these words!"

Hearing that the rhetoric he had borrowed from Guo Yuanzhen had paid off, Li Tong continued to work harder: "The reason why I punished Junchen so sparingly is because I hid my advice, not just showing off my will. Although I have been away for a long time , I also heard a certain deed, which can be described as a vicious name. When a word is spoken, the crowd's voice is silenced; when it comes to the body, the crowd avoids it..."

After Wu Zetian heard this, his expression became a little unnatural, and he said in a concentrated voice: "He holds the torture weapon himself. If he is not afraid of human feelings, he can destroy rape and suppress violence, punish evil and eliminate crimes? Afraid of someone coming?"

"I think that I am outside the law and inside the love, so naturally I don't know the world's lenient and strict rules. There are many evils in the world, and there are no laws and regulations, which are not enough to obey the heavens. Also, the reason why the common people are calm and the morals of the world are so clear is because of the power of punishment."

Li Tong kowtowed and said: "But now a certain vicious name has come, and it has almost taken away the power of punishment. The use of a national weapon is actually unique. This state of affairs is really perverted, and it makes people shudder. There are five ways of listening to books, which make people repeat three times. Zou, the reason why things are cumbersome is because human life is the most important thing, and it is difficult to recover. When someone comes to push the case, he will be punished if he asks for it. He steals the power of the punishment because of its cruelty. In the long run, what people fear is not the clarity of the punishment order, but the future. A certain majestic..."

When Wu Zetian heard these words, there was a thoughtful expression on his brows, obviously these words touched her heartstrings.She is not afraid of public criticism and dedicated to cruel officials, but she is worried that her courtiers will monopolize their affairs.What the young king said about her in this way did amplify her dissatisfaction with Lai Junchen.

"According to the first rank, marriage is new. The great plan of life is to renew in Vientiane. Now the gods help Zhou, the palace is brand new, and the changes are popular among all people. This is also the disease of your majesty and the princes. Qin won the country with heavy punishment, It is not easy to follow the law, the reputation of the people is harsh, and the land collapses suddenly. The ancestors of the Han Dynasty ruled the world, demonstrated the etiquette, and changed it in response to the times, and the world called him good. The fierceness of a certain person caused human feelings to remain in doubt and fear for a long time, and hindered the change of favors. Diligence is nothing but a small good, resistance to change is a great evil!"

After listening to the young king's discussion, Wu Zetian's expression also changed, and he couldn't help pointing at him and sighing: "It's surprising that you can make such a grand statement. It seems that living in seclusion for several years is not just a waste of energy."

"I didn't dare to boast about my talents. At that time, I really lost my will. But when I retreated and thought about it, I also realized that this may not be a bad thing. All things naturally change from old to new, and human relationships may not be able to adapt to the times. There are unpredictable things, and everything is not hidden. Minister Putting this body in right and wrong, I also hope that your Majesty can see who is right and left. It is a pity that the matter is of little importance after all, and the incidents that can be caused are just better than nothing. shallow."

Li Tong sighed again, looking as if he was worried about his own people and kept his words light.

Wu Zetian was already doing this, but hearing the young king's tone, he still couldn't help but snorted coldly: "You haven't reached the crown yet, but you are already the head of the temple office, so you think it's too light? Do you want to enter the Zhizhengshitang?" , can this help a lot?"

After Li Tong heard the words, he said with embarrassment: "The talent may be poor, but the qualifications are not up to the mark. Even if you rely on the king's kindness to force your way, it is inevitable that most of your energy will be dealt with disputes of human jealousy. I dare not take this luxury Read it, it will increase your disturbance even more."

When Wu Zetian heard this, he also laughed for a moment: "You really dare to boast, do you really think that the princes of the Zhengshitang are just talking about nothing, like you?"

After Li Tong heard the words, he just slandered: I am not only good at boasting, but I dare not tell you about many deeds. If you really want me to be the prime minister, you will definitely be pleasantly surprised.

"Don't think about it at a higher position. But your statement is not out of the question. Although the help is still small, you have good intentions."

When Wu Zetian spoke up to this point, a meaningful smile appeared on his face: "You want to cause trouble and let me see which is left and which is right. Then I will help you and see which is near and which is far."

After Li Tong heard this, he suddenly felt bad, but Wu Zetian didn't give him a chance to speak out, and continued: "You still keep the wealth entrusted by King Jian'an? Hand it over, and you It comes from Fengshi Tianyi, don't hurt the family's friendship for some floating money."

Li Tong was a little dumbfounded after hearing the words, I racked my brains to talk nonsense with you for so long, and you still want to rob me of my money?Lao Tzu's money is blown by the wind?

He was slandering in his heart, but a wry smile appeared on his face: "I'm not making excuses, I really can't hand it over."

"Can't hand it over? Have you spent all of it?"

When Wu Zetian heard this, he stared at him immediately, and said in surprise and anger, "It's not easy to transfer so much money, so in such a short time, where will it be used?"

Seeing his grandma's expression like this, Li Tong knew that he couldn't be fooled. If he didn't tell the truth, maybe his grandma would have to suspect that he was using Wu Youyi's money to recruit soldiers, so he could only bite the bullet and send the flying money. Explain your business.

Chapter 0311 Decentralization is not possible, centralization should be

After listening to the young king's description, Wu Zetian really showed a lot of interest, and asked several key questions while meditating, such as how to win the trust of others, how to issue flying money drafts, the specific cashing process, etc., which can be described as involving to every aspect.

Regarding these issues, Li Tong did not dare to be sloppy, and told the truth, even including the related people involved, such as Shu merchant Yang.

As for Guo Yuanzhen, he didn't mention it. It's not that he insisted on obstructing the future of this subordinate. It's that this guy is lacking in integrity. Once he gets the chance to face the saint, he may be willing to expose some of himself Little secret.

Right now, Li Tong is in a critical period of career advancement, especially the relationship with his grandma, which must be handled carefully.He is no longer satisfied with just being an insignificant little licking dog, but hopes to gain greater authority and initiative.

How to make his grandma not resist, or even actively give him some power, also needs to be carefully weighed and considered.Some uncontrollable variables, naturally, the less the better.

He has relatively mature relevant experience in later generations, and he can properly answer all kinds of inquiries from Wu Zetian.

The grandparents asked and answered questions, and after a while, Wu Zetian stopped asking questions, pointed to Li Tong, and said, "I'm worried that you are young and impetuous, or because you are smart and quick-witted, you are good at making plans and clumsy at using them. Now look Come on, they are interlocking, thoughtful and meticulous, and their talents are not limited to conspiracy theories."

After Li Tong heard this, he also said modestly: "I have never been trapped in financial planning since I was born, and it is true that I have occasionally obtained strange plans and failed to use them. Fortunately, I have listened to and used many people under my door, and there are many talented people." Only by building bricks and tiles within the frame can things be laid out."

"The Shu merchant woman is a strange person. If it is true as you said, a mere young woman can take care of her family alone. Such a beautiful woman in the wild is worthy of praise."

Wu Zetian changed the subject and talked about the Shu merchant Yang Li: "This woman is returning to Shu now? Remember to call her into the capital later, and bring her into the forbidden city to see her."

Hearing that Wu Zetian showed a lot of interest in Yang Li, Li Tong couldn't help but smiled knowingly, and said: "Anyone who can break through the rules of the world has great wisdom and courage. Although the woman's business is only ordinary business, she has talent and feelings. It is not weak. The minister is feeling this, so he called her into the mansion regardless of the common sense, and paid her money and other things. If she can be appreciated by His Majesty, it can be called a great blessing."

"Just to have a look, don't worry, I won't take away the talents you have chosen."

Wu Zetian laughed again, and then continued to ask: "How many people and goods are involved in this matter?"

"At present, everything is just a new store, and people have not yet learned this convenience, so all kinds of contacts between people and goods are just made hastily."

Li Tong replied cautiously, and at the same time quickly expressed his opinion: "The road to Shu is difficult, and the world has endured this hardship for thousands of years. If people at that time can appreciate this convenience, then this small plan to make money or profit is not worth it." It is a major event that can flourish and prosper the place. At that time, it will be far from being able to be handled by a few members of the court, and it is inevitable to reach the heavens and complete the business."

Wu Zetian frowned when he heard this, and murmured: "The national economy is so important, how can it be easy for Cao Ye's plan to interfere! Your family is planning a job, and it is all right to make a profit. There is no need to ramble about it." The great plan of the locality. The benefits of businessmen and merchants are limited to the national economy. If the convenience is distributed by order, so that people will come to this place, there is nothing under their ribs, and they will make huge profits at the end of the year. place?"

Speaking of this, she raised her eyes to look at Li Tong seriously, and continued: "Flying money tickets, the money will not leave the country, and the accumulation of copper and silk in various places will inevitably make the money strong..."

After Li Tong heard the words, his heart suddenly jumped, and then he felt that his grandma's vigilance was too high.

The contradiction between the center and the locality can be said to have a long history and a long history.This problem has always existed since Emperor Qin unified and ended the feudalism of the Zhou Dynasty.A strong center will centralize power, while a strong local government will separate itself.

Since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, the Guanzhong standard has been pursued, and it is unwilling to give the local government too much power.During the Gaozong period, Heluo was managed in order to get rid of the restraint of the Guanlong powerful clan, but until now, the two capitals are still the absolute core of the empire.Whether it is in the implementation of government orders or in the election of talents, the two capitals are also emphasized rather than the localities.

Since Wu Zetian came to the court, the two large-scale rebellions were also initiated by the localities, so of course we must be more vigilant about the decentralization of power.

During the mid-Tang Dynasty, an important political reason for the emergence of Feiqian was the disagreement between the central and local governments in terms of financial power.

The central government is unwilling to let money flow into the localities, and the localities are of course unwilling to send money to the central government. Therefore, Feiqian has assumed the role of a bridge, which will not damage the basic exchanges, and each can hold on to the money without letting go.

As for promoting the development of commerce and stimulating the circulation of commodities, that is more of a result than a cause.In the ancient society based on agriculture, the rulers wished that the people's crops would take root in the country and live in this life, and after one crop was harvested, there would be another crop.

As for making government decrees to benefit the people simply for the convenience of merchants, that's too much thought, even if Wu Zetian's father was born as a merchant.Not to mention this kind of cross-regional and large-scale commercial activities, even between the two capitals, there are many rules and regulations, and the control is very strict.

Hearing Wu Zetian's disapproval of this plan, and even faint vigilance, Li Tong was also worried that this incident would raise his opinion of him as a person, suspecting that he took advantage of the closed geographical environment surrounded by mountains in central Sichuan to collect money and hoard goods.
