Crown Tang emperor

Li Dan leaned over his desk and sighed, the sadness in his expression was even worse than when he lived in seclusion before: "The ministers persuaded me to come in, but they couldn't agree. Zhaode and others hoped that I could be appointed as the crown prince, and the rest hoped that I would succeed the emperor. , to lead directly to the great position... I, I don't know how to choose, what to do. There is no reason in the world to be ordered by the mother, but the Holy Emperor... Well, this kind of thing, except for those who are really close to the father-in-law Confidentially, I don’t know who to ask.”

Chapter 0548 Tian family is ruthless, weak and abandoned

Just a few days ago, on the first day of the first lunar month, the imperial court of Shendu officially changed Yuan to Tang Long, abandoning Zhou and returning to Tang.

It's just that on the issue of the highest position, the court still can't unify their voices, so Li Dan is still supervising the country as an embarrassing emperor's heir.This also brings a more embarrassing problem, that is, the country has no king.

Of course, there are still some, and the title of Holy Emperor Wu Zetian has not been removed.But the Holy Emperor is after all the Emperor of the Great Zhou, not the Emperor of the Great Tang.In fact, at the same time as the yuan change, Wu Zetian's title should be abolished at the same time, but there has been no conclusion in the court about how the emperor's heir should inherit the great unification, which makes the current situation delicate and dangerous.

Orthodox Zhengshuo is the most important thing in the world. If this problem is not resolved for a day, the court of Shendu will not be able to govern the world in a legitimate way.Li Dan is in such a focal position, and it can be said that he has been restless for a while.

After listening to the emperor's heir's complaint, Wang Meichang immediately realized that the depth of the water was unfathomable. She had been boldly saying that she was willing to share the emperor's heir's worries, but now she fell silent, feeling a sense of powerlessness at a loss. feel.

If it was him who had suddenly gained power and was flamboyant and frivolous, he would naturally have to talk about it, but after the previous blows, he also realized that he was not worth mentioning in front of the real big men in the current situation.

Even if he returned to God this time with a lot of publicity, it was because of His Royal Highness King Yong behind him.The prime ministers will give face to King Yong, but he is just a member of the shogunate who joined the army, so he can not give face to others, and others will not care about him at all.

But since the emperor's heir has said everything to this point, he must always make a statement. After a moment of silence, Wang Meichang said again: "No matter what your highness chooses, I will follow you to the death!"

Saying this is tantamount to not saying it, but it is just a kind of human comfort.

"Hey, I am in the current situation. If I advance, it will be difficult, and if I retreat, I will lose the world. Now I finally feel that the most dangerous thing in the world is the three-inch human heart!"

Li Dan sighed again, his expression full of melancholy: "In the old days, my mother treated me not kindly, but she took care of family affairs and state affairs, and I was still able to live in peace. Resentment, secretly resenting Aunt's evil politics. But when I wield power, I realize that the world is complicated and people's hearts are unpredictable."

It's not that Li Dan doesn't want to cheer up and show a bit of Gan Gang's domineering domineering, but his character always lacks a bit of determination.

Originally, when the kings of the Wu family were in power, he was the heir to the family and country that all the veterans of the Tang family expected.When the revolution just broke out in Shendu, all the ministers entered the palace to greet Li Dan. Despite his fear, Li Dan also had ambitions in his heart. Political clarity, rejuvenation of the country.

But the reality is that the court seems to have a large number of talents, but few of his confidants are among them. The veterans of the Tang family who originally supported him are also intriguing with each other and cannot work together to help.

This time's advancement to the top position can also be regarded as an outbreak of contradictions.The powerful minister Li Zhaode insisted on letting him succeed the emperor as the crown prince, saying that "the emperor's last order has nothing to do with His Royal Highness. The emperor's heir advances and retreats, all of which are left to the emperor. If he abandons this rashly, he will lack filial piety and etiquette."

But Li Dan knew in his heart that Li Zhaode's insistence was nothing more than to maintain a relatively detached position in the court.Li Zhaode was the Zhongshu Ling made by the Holy Emperor before he lived in seclusion. Only when the emperor's heir inherits the Datong as the crown prince can he continue to maintain his authority as an assistant minister.

Although Li Zhaode's words were not unreasonable, even if he didn't consider whether he was ordered by his father or by his mother, Li Zhaode's unquestionable tone made Li Dan quite angry.

Although he is not a person obsessed with power, it does not mean that he has no ideas and temper.Regardless of whether what Li Zhaode said is reasonable or not, he is a suggester rather than a decision-maker after all, otherwise the monarch and his subjects will be out of order, and the harmony between them will disappear.

After thinking for a while, Li Dan continued: "I have been doing things for others for a long time, and there are few people who are close to me in the court. As a relative and elder, my father-in-law is one of the few people who can tell his heart and heart. I am worried that if my father-in-law does this for a long time, it will damage his reputation, and the masses will criticize him, and he may not be able to use it in the court in the future."

Hearing that the emperor's heir was still entangled in this festival, Wang Meichang couldn't help but sighed, and said seriously: "How can I not understand this truth? But a few days ago, he was enshrined in the court, and a person without roots is hard to respect! The hope is superficial, the human power is not strong, and if there is a little rebellion, it will be made things difficult."

"There is no distinction between skills, only ingenuity and clumsiness. For example, when King Yong entered the world in the old year, he was also a man who spoke lightly and was not valued. He presented scriptures and flattered him, and the world laughed at him. But now, he is vigorously punishing big thieves and restoring the country. Who in the world would dare to take King Yong lightly? I may not have the intelligence of King Yong, but I also feel that His Highness has no roots and sighs. I wish to be a tentacles and penetrate deep into the matter. I only want to be transparent from top to bottom, so that the emperor's life will not be hindered!"

Hearing Wang Meichang's admiration for King Yong between words, Li Dan's eyes flashed, and suddenly he said in a low voice: "Wang Yong is a great talent in the clan, but he is young and vigorous, and he always avoids criticism from others. Fan Xijin used it to force the troops to seize Tongguan, and there was no shortage of voices in the court. Tongguan is a major pass in China. Is there any reason why it should not be held by the court? King Yong abused his authority and gathered power in the pass to control Tongguan and Shanzhou. It is also within its cover, and I am afraid that if things go on like this, the decrees of the capital of the gods will not be used in the west!"

"Who entered this evil talk?"

Hearing this, Wang Meichang's complexion changed immediately: "If it wasn't for a thug who was scheming and treacherous and feared for the peace of the world, how could he attack a famous king of a clan with such evil intentions? King Yong has made great achievements and worked tirelessly. Going west, if you don’t have a country in your heart, why don’t you linger in the capital of the gods and enjoy wealth and honor in peace?”

After Li Dan heard the words, his expression was a bit embarrassed, and he said with a dry smile: "One thing is like this, hundreds of people see it, and it's just people talking about it. It doesn't have to be a crime because of words. After all, the mouth of the people is better than the mouth of the river. .”

"Three people became tigers, and the money was destroyed. The minister is worried that evil words will be poured into his ears. His Highness may become tired of King Yong for a long time. It is not necessary to elaborate on King Yong's deeds. The clan has such a strong assistant, so that it can maintain its prestige. The minister said so, His Highness may think that the minister is greedy for the power that King Yong rescued in the past, but..."

Speaking of this, Wang Meichang paused, looked left and right, leaned closer to the emperor's heir in the banquet, and then whispered: "The minister took the initiative to seek criminal justice in Xijing, just to prevent the danger of King Yong. Control. Guanzhong is the former residence of the Tian family, and the gates of the Yuan Dynasty are the cornerstone of the country. If King Yong forgives him kindly, it is inevitable that the hearts of the people will be subdued and he will gather in Chang'an. The ministers do not hesitate to fight for punishment and kill themselves, just to prevent King Yong from fighting with him. Xijing Yuancong colluded to respond!"

"This this……"

Li Dan was really shocked when he heard this, he really didn't expect his father-in-law to have such a profound plan.

"I don't dare to say that I am wise, but this use of things has achieved some results. Therefore, the families of Xijing are afraid of King Yong and stay away, so that King Yong's tent has no talent to use widely. To stabilize the situation in Guanzhong, they even need to quote people from grasslands." .”

Speaking of this, Wang Meichang sighed with a look of wisdom in his hands: "The people in the grass and the wild are just mobs! In modern times, there is no one who can rely on this power than the Xia thief Dou Jiande? In the battle of Hulao, the army was defeated and died, and the hegemony disappeared. King Yong may be powerful for a while, but he cannot form a famous clan in the pass, even if he wants to, he is powerless. Or he may be powerful for a while, but his power will not last long, taming the eagles to drive away the wolves is a good strategy!"

Hearing Wang Meichang's statement, Li Dan opened his mouth, really didn't know how to evaluate it, and even had a feeling in his heart that he couldn't see through his father-in-law, and couldn't tell whether it was great wisdom or stupidity, or something else.

"I don't want to say more about the affairs of Xijing, and I'll wait for the decision of the political affairs hall. The father-in-law has returned to the capital this time, and he has also performed well, so he should stay in the court for appointment. The lady has been in poor health for a long time, and I can't bear to let the flesh and blood be separated for a long time. .”

Li Dan no longer commented on whether Wang Meichang's remarks were right or wrong, and turned to other things. He still felt that it would be safer to place this father-in-law in Shendu: "Besides, the big position is pending right now, and all affairs are light. Heavy. Lingnan Road visited Dou’s parents, and they will return to Shendu in a few days. At that time, the friendship between the several families will be smooth, and the exchanges will be frequent, so there will be no need to be separated from each other and endure hardships.”

Hearing the first half of the emperor's heir's words, Wang Meichang felt quite heartwarming at first, and felt that her two daughters were trusted by others.But when he heard the second half of the emperor's heir's words, his mood suddenly sank.

According to the emperor's heir, Dou Xiaochen is not dead yet, and will be recalled to the court, which inevitably makes Wang Meichang subconsciously feel a sense of crisis.When it comes to family background, influence, and relationship with the emperor's heir, Dou Xiaochen undoubtedly far exceeds him. Once he enters the capital, it will have a great influence on Wang Meichang.

When it comes to the reason for taking up affairs in Xijing, what Wang Meichang said to the emperor's heir is second to none. His biggest consideration is to use the power of King Yong to suppress those nobles from Guan Longyuan, just to prevent the Dou family from making a comeback.

Thinking about it this way, Wang Meichang realized that the emperor's heir still valued the Dou family more after all, and wanted to call these nobles into the court as his arms.The reason why I have repeatedly advised him not to play criminals in Xijing again is definitely not for his reputation, but to avoid turning against Guan Long Xungui!

Thinking of this, Wang Meichang took a deep breath, and said in a deep voice: "My lady is blessed to be loved by His Highness. She is blessed with heavenly blessings, and evil spirits are hard to harm. Now that the country is not in peace, relatives and disciples are not allowed to sit idle." Even if the minister is close and accompanied, it will not be of much help. Moreover, in the old days, he lived in the court and had no virtue to boast about. Although he accumulated small things in the west, he would not make up for his mistakes. !"

The most ruthless is the emperor's family, even if the emperor's heir is such a gentle person, once he has a mind of power, he will keep himself in the capital of the gods and let the Dou family take the lead.Wang Meichang felt very sour in his heart, which also strengthened his determination to plan for the future.

"I'm returning to the capital this time, and I'm obeying King Yong's decree. I need to visit a few relatives and disciples to deliver messages. I heard that Princess Lu loves Wulang Longye. Can I go with you?"

Chapter 0549 Zhaode is strong, the group is silent

Shangyang Palace is located next to Luoshui, to the west of Shendu City.In midsummer, there is plenty of water vapor here, and it is indeed a summer resort.But in the middle of winter, there is a cold wind howling, damp and cold to the bone.

Although there are earth, dragon and fire paths in the main hall, and the curtains hang down to cover them, they still can't completely block the damp and cold wind that passes through the hall.Therefore, after meeting Wang Meichang in the hall, His Majesty the Holy Emperor retreated back to the warm pavilion in the inner hall.

"This Wang Meichang is really interesting."

In the warm pavilion, Wu Zetian was half-cuddled on the couch, covered with a thick quilt. Thinking of the scene of meeting Wang Meichang just now, a smile could not help but appear on the corner of her mouth.

Wang Meichang didn't say much when he ascended the palace, the main thing was to describe the process of King Yong's calming down of chaos in Xijing.But even so, Wu Zetian could see that his mind was complicated and superficial.

After all, how many old foxes in the court are in her hands, so how can Wang Meichang's tricks escape her eyes.In particular, Wang Meichang also went in and out with the emperor's youngest son, Longye, and it was said that they would also go to Lu Wangfu to pay a visit to the concubine, so Wang Meichang's intentions were too obvious.

After thinking for a while, Wu Zetian sighed suddenly: "Hey, heir, Xuanren is close to cowardly, not the master of weapons. This kind of evil relative who secretly wants to corrupt family affairs and human relations should be killed. Woe to the future!"

Speaking of this, Wu Zetian also subconsciously thought of herself, because she was also unable to reconcile the conflicts between relatives and disciples, and she lost power suddenly when it broke out.But the relatives and apprentices she appointed and indulged still have their own roles after all.But that Wang Meichang is really useless, the indulgence given by the emperor's heir has far exceeded the value of his own.

At this time, there were quite a few servants in the Nuan Pavilion, but no one dared to answer, even Shangguan Wan'er was concentrating on picking ashes by the stove.

Wu Zetian also felt a little boring talking to himself, and after thinking about it, he said, "Go and recruit Tang Ruren."

Not long after, Prince Yong's family members, Princess Zheng, Tang Ruren and others arrived together.After the meeting ceremony was over, Wu Zetian signaled Tang Lingshu to come forward, and said with a smile: "You have heard something about King Yong's deeds in the pass, right? Tang Ruren, let me ask you, you and King Yong lived in Qianling for many years, and the old clothes in Xijing She, is there any connection with King Yong?"

Tang Lingshu couldn't help being shocked when he heard this, he shook his head repeatedly and said, "I really don't know what His Majesty asked, when I stayed with His Highness in Qianling, I strictly abided by the rules in daily life and food, and didn't ask about foreign affairs..."

Wu Zetian looked at her seriously, and suddenly smiled after a while: "It seems that there is, the little thief has a deep plan!"

"No, not really!"

After Tang Lingshu heard the words, he quickly denied it again, and turned to Princess Zheng and the others to ask for help.Zheng Wenyin stepped forward and said: "Concubines and others are guarding the house. Your Majesty is ignorant when you ask questions, and answering hastily is just to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages. A short thought is not enough. If your Majesty seeks truth, you still have to ask those who are involved."

"That's all, gossip around the fire, don't be nervous. The little ladies are in good luck, and it just so happens that your grandmother is raising you to be open-minded."

Wu Zetian still had a smile on his face, and after blinking, he sighed and said: "King Yong has a strong character, being respectful and cautious is not his strong point, and his long-term strength is not inferior to his ancestors. He dared to assassinate my old problems that are still difficult to cure. This alone is not something that my son can compare to. His grandmother will depend on him for the rest of his life, honor and disgrace after death."

Speaking of this, Wu Zetian suddenly looked at the ladies and smiled and said, "Do you want to go west to Chang'an and get together with your husband?"

Hearing this, the ladies subconsciously straightened their sitting postures, looking at the Holy Emperor expectantly.Even Shangguan Wan'er, who was mixing incense by the stove, trembled her wrists and pricked up her ears subconsciously.

"Men and women love each other, and love is true. But in a short period of time, you are afraid that you will be disappointed."

Seeing the expressions of the ladies, Wu Zetian showed an evil smile on his face: "King Yong is the one who promises the country with his body, so it is difficult for him to show his selfish intentions. He will do his best to eliminate evil, and I am afraid that it will be difficult for him to be calm in the next few years. It is not a short period of time to calm down the several robberies. If you stay in Shendu, you can still give him a retreat, but if they all go west, he will return to the east even more indefinitely.

Stay in this place with peace of mind, take good care of grandma, and let her live happily ever after.Although I have been countered, I also hope that my grandson will succeed in glory.If I don't die for a day, King Yong is not a rootless person, so he can protect his future without any worries. "

Speaking of this, Wu Zetian pointed to Princess Zheng Wenyin and said: "The princess has recently returned to the province to tell her relatives that she should not covet the vacant seat in the political affairs hall. There are many guests and people in the pass, and King Yong wants to use this corner to defeat the enemy. A mere township community cannot cover the vast majority, and it is urgent to create a family and preserve it. This is also the most important thing. If Di Renjie wants to divide the governing affairs hall, the subordinate provinces will have to fight, and it is a good time to enter the household department at this time."

After hearing the words, Zheng Wenyin's eyes lit up immediately, and she quickly said: "I will follow His Majesty's mission, and I will come to visit my family tomorrow."

At this time, in the Political Affairs Hall, the Xijing affairs were also being discussed, and none of the ten prime ministers was absent, and Zhongshu ordered Li Zhaode to preside over the meeting naturally.

But just after the meeting started, Prime Minister Wei Juyuan raised his hand and said: "Dou Xuanfu's life and death are unknown, and his whereabouts are still unknown. I'm afraid it's too early to talk about rewards at this time? If the imperial order is issued, Dou Xuanfu will be killed later." Yu Ye, this is also a problem that will greatly damage the prestige of the court, so we have to worry about it."

"Dou Huai let Xuanfu be unfavorable. Even if he survived, he must be severely punished! He was in charge of Xuanfu, but Xijing was born with the crime of jazz stealing the country and living people attacking the city. Both the upper and lower levels were out of balance, and his mission of Xuanfu was immediately taken away." , do not hinder the progress of state affairs!"

As soon as Wei Juyuan finished speaking, Li Zhaode spoke, his tone was strong and unquestionable, and he had already made a decision without waiting for the discussion of the people.

Seeing that Li Zhaode was so strong, everyone present felt somewhat uncomfortable.Although it is true that you have high qualifications and high prestige, everyone sitting in the hall is the prime minister, not a small official who bows his head and accepts orders. You should leave some time for everyone to express their support!

And long before King Yong went west, some court officials suggested that Dou Huairang be directly dismissed from the post of Xuanfu envoy, but Li Zhaode insisted that he should not be so weak.But now Li Zhaode has changed his attitude, which also makes people feel a lot.

Li Zhaode ignored everyone's feelings, but pointed to Yang Zaisi, his servant, and said: "The offenders in Xijing will be removed as soon as possible by the officials, so that they can be sentenced quickly."

Yang Zaisi nodded after hearing the words, he didn't think too much, not to mention that he didn't dare to directly contradict Li Zhaode, but it was his duty to fill in the loopholes in the regulations for King Yong.

But someone still couldn't help sneering, Cui Xuanwei stood up from the table and said: "Nearly a thousand heads have rolled to the ground, the blood has dried up, and the corpses have rotted. Isn't it a little ridiculous that the court is still deciding on punishment?"

"The general will be outside, and there is an expedient plan. Xijing is full of thieves, and the emperor's order cannot be passed on in time. Once the opportunity is missed, things may change again. His Royal Highness King Yong's punishment is appropriate, which is originally the authority within Jieyue."

Zheng Gao raised his hand and spoke. While speaking, he looked at Xue Ji and asked, "What does Xue Sanqi think about this?"

When Xue Ji heard this, his face darkened suddenly. What could he think?Among the prime ministers in the hall, he was the only one who was promoted by the emperor's heir, and the one who was put to death in Xijing was the emperor's heir's father-in-law. Could he still discipline the emperor's father-in-law for the emperor's heir?

"Forget it, the facts of the case are settled, just review the entire volume and enter it. The families in Xijing, the evidence of the crime is convincing, King Yong decided to kill the thieves indiscriminately, so there is no need to discuss this matter again."

Seeing Xue Ji was silent for a while, Di Renjie spoke again.

"Since Di Xianggong said so, then so be it."

Hearing Di Renjie's speech, Wei Juyuan gave Di Renjie a good-natured smile, and then said: "However, King Yong issued an order to exempt Xijing from the mediocrity. Is there anything worth discussing? I remember the ceremony at the beginning of the year. The public cut cultural relics and saved extravagance because of the emptiness of the treasury.

Di Xianggong is in the Ministry of Household Affairs, and the National Bureau of Duzhi is in his arms. Does the exemption of Xijing's mediocrity have any impact on the gods?Up to now, the salary of the soldiers in the courts has been delayed for more than several months. When they are in the court, they donate to the country, and when they return home, they eat cold food with an empty stove. "

As soon as these words were spoken, the expressions of everyone present changed slightly, especially the prime ministers of King Yong's line lowered their heads.The imperial court in the capital of Shendu had a hard time spending money. It was King Yong who did it. The treasury was emptied enough to run away mice.

Up to now, it has directly affected the life indicators of all the officials in the capital of God, and many ceremonies have to be postponed because of this, which is really not a waste.In the old year of the Holy Emperor, the officials attended the ceremony, not to mention the grand scene, the officials could also eat and take, and each got his own income.But now, even the monthly salary has been delayed, let alone team building.

The beginning of each year is an important time for accounting and spending the year.It is precisely because of this that although Di Renjie has a high voice to enter the province, it has not been realized.Now, the one-year expenditure plan has not yet been made, and the mediocrity in Xijing will be cut first, so it will be more difficult to make a budget.

Di Renjie didn't answer Wei Juyuan's question directly, but turned his head to look at Lu Yuanfang, and said, "Mr. Lu is a consul for water transportation, do you have any advice on this?"

"The water affairs in Duji have achieved great results, and the current difficulties are only short-term. After the beginning of spring, materials from various states will enter Luo, and it will definitely be relieved."

Lu Yuanfang was quite confident about this, after all, Wang Fangqing left him with a good foundation.

"After all, far away water can't quench the near thirst!"

Wei Juyuan sighed, but stopped talking, and sat back in his seat.

After a moment of silence, Li Zhaode said: "There is a riot in Xijing, and the Juemen violated the law. Can the prime minister have no responsibility? If you build something, you will praise it, and if you fail to manage it, you will be punished!"

While speaking, he gave Wei Juyuan a cold look.

Seeing this, Wei Juyuan felt a chill in his heart, knowing that he had been too active during this time and had offended Li Zhaode.

Li Zhaode's meaning was very simple, since the courtiers in Shendu were resentful because of the reduced treatment, they should cut off one or two prime ministers to deter the crowd first.

After expressing his opinion, Li Zhaode said again: "One thing first, and another thing to discuss. Xijing rewards and punishments, everyone come up with a final decision as soon as possible."

Chapter 0550 self-cultivation skill, not inferior to Confucianism

In Chang'an City in the first month of the lunar year, there was finally a sporadic light snowfall, which made the whole city no longer gloomy.

Near the middle of the night, a group of armored people came out from Jingfeng Gate of the imperial city, surrounded by His Royal Highness King Yong who had just concluded the meeting, and returned to Chongrenfang King's Residence.

Li Tong was wrapped in a mink cloak, and the hat on his head was pulled aside. The snowflakes mixed in the night wind slapped on his forehead, and there was a cold sting, which made his slightly drowsy head wake up. .

"That's right, did you just tell the user to patrol the camp again at night?"

While walking, he suddenly thought of another question, and turned to ask Lego who was accompanying him on a horse.

Young Lego was afraid of the cold, shrunk his head and nodded: "Your Highness has already said that Song Canjun, Xu Canjun and others are patrolling the camp. Song Canjun also has a report, and there are still [-] guests in the camp. Hemp mats, straw mats, charcoal Materials and other things are also prepared, even if the snowfall becomes heavy, you will not die from starvation.”

Li Tong nodded after hearing the words, and said with a smile: "So, the heads of the dozen or so families who committed the crime were finally not in vain."

Previously, Wang Meichang publicly tried the dozens of honorable families who looted the official treasury, and revealed their hidden evil of attracting rioters to break through the several squares in the east of the city. It eliminated the conflict between the locals and the residents in Chang'an City, and also greatly promoted the work of recruiting the rioters.

Now most of the Hakka people have participated in the work of rebuilding the city, and some leisure houses in the south of the city are also allocated to the Hakka people who are in service.Although the natives still haven't fully accepted these guests, they are no longer as resistant as they were at the beginning.

Of course, this is also because the shogunate benefited from raising materials and giving relief. In addition to being exempted from one-year mediocrity, the natives of Chang'an also received some other compensation.In particular, materials from Hedong began to enter Chang'an City in large quantities. Although Chang'an's new economy was in chaos and people's livelihood was depressed, the price of goods could be controlled at a relatively stable level, which also had a great soothing effect.

Don't try to persuade people to be kind, this time Chang'an natives have really been harassed and lost, and Li Tong can't persuade people to be magnanimous and tolerant of the rioting guests just by relying on their red lips and white teeth.Like today, we are discussing whether to directly send a certain amount of property compensation to the citizens.

Today's Chang'an City has been out of order for many years, and it is far from reaching the peak of the Kaitian period, and it is not even comparable to the Zhenguan period.After counting registered households, there are even less than [-] registered households.Of course, the actual population must be much larger, even if the residents are not included, there are at least [-] households in the shade of the rich and powerful families alone.

After the turmoil, sending money to compensate can not only soothe people's hearts, but also stimulate consumption.This is not an unprecedented welfare policy, and there have been related measures in all dynasties.Like his grandmother Wu Zetian did similar behaviors many times before and after the Tang Dynasty Revolution.

However, the treasury of the Chang'an government is currently empty. Even if there are materials imported by Li Tong from the guards of the gods who stole and looted before, most of these materials are basic living materials such as food, and there is really not enough property to subsidize the whole city.

Li Tong thought back to the topic in the political affairs hall just now, and unknowingly walked to the Beifang Gate of Chongrenfang. Looking at the empty long street, he suddenly felt something, and asked again: "How many days until the Shangyuan Festival?" ?”

"Your Highness, today is already the third day after the Shangyuan Festival!"

When Lego heard this question, he was taken aback for a moment before answering.

"Has the Lantern Festival passed?"
