Crown Tang emperor

During the Zhenguan period, the land equalization system was still guaranteed, and the government military system did not lose its organization. Things could be gathered constantly, soldiers could be sent out constantly, and they could still cooperate with each other.But after Yonghui, with the expansion of the empire's territory, the period of collection and the collection of materials became more and more frequent and serious. It was originally a matter of two systems, and the waste caused by it has far exceeded the original. convenience.

Today, Li Tong's decree on water transportation reform has been completely destroyed, and related matters have resumed the old state of operation again.

According to the story of the Dugu Yuan Festival, the military threat posed by the platform suddenly increased, and then the imperial court ordered the soldiers to speed up their journey, which directly caused the accumulation of materials in the states.And the enfeoffed families who had poured into Nanya to work were worried that the rewards would not be paid in time, so they asked for assignments one after another, thus diluting Nanya's already meager foundation even more.

Chapter 0739 Luling does not move, Tongguan be cautious

There was more than one chaos in the imperial court of Shendu. Dugu Yuanjie had just come to Chang'an from Shendu, so he was deeply touched by it, and talked about related issues, naturally.Before he knew it, more than an hour had passed.

After the banquet was over, Li Tong did not rest directly, but changed to another room, and continued to talk with his elder brother Li Guangshun about the various things discussed in the banquet just now.

"Sanlang, it's better for me to go to Shanzhou to replace Erlang. Erlang is not cautious enough to conduct himself in the world. He occasionally indulges in fun, or loses self-seeking. Now that the chaos in Shendu is so deep, I am afraid that he will be harmed if he is negligent for a while. ..."

Once he sat down, Li Guang couldn't help but speak by the way.

After Li Tong heard the words, he just waved his hands and sighed: "People's words are credible, but they are not enough. The situation in the capital of God is indeed chaotic, but it has not completely collapsed. As for the second brother, although he is generous and simple , but it may not be in danger of being killed. Even if there is a oversight, it is nothing more than being held by others. If it is brother, I am worried that brother, you have miscellaneous thoughts, and you may not be able to protect yourself."

"This, this... Could it be that what the relatives of Dugu said is still biased?"

When Li Guangshun heard what Li Tong said, he couldn't help but feel suspicious.

"The people in the southern yamen are mixed, and I don't know exactly how it was abandoned. However, the army in the northern yamen has been newly expanded, and thousands of horses have increased to ten thousand horses. The division of clans, relatives, and nobles still has a certain effect on suppressing the court's sentiments. "

Although Li Tong's personnel influence in Shendu is getting weaker and weaker now, it does not mean that he is ignorant of the situation in Shendu. Not to mention some private arrangements, his aunt will occasionally send some news.

According to his aunt and Dugu Yuanjie's respective statements, the conclusions drawn are quite different.As Dugu Yuanjie said, the Nanya military collapsed, making the entire capital almost undefended.However, according to his aunt, the Beiya military system is orderly, and there are now more than [-] soldiers in Beiya, and there is still room for further increase in the future.

Two different arguments reflect two different attitudes.Dugu Yuanjie often exaggerates the chaotic situation in Shendu, but looking at his true intentions, he actually hopes that Xingtai can send troops to the east of Tongguan as soon as possible to interfere in the political situation of Shendu.

As for his aunt, Princess Taiping, she was not very willing to allow Xingtai's power to directly interfere with the situation in Shendu, so she avoided the most serious and minor aspects of the current chaotic situation in the court, and only said that the Beiya was strengthened.

However, no matter what the two sides said, Li Tong had his own assessment of the current court situation.It has become an obvious fact that the imperial court in Shendu is out of control. It is not as stable and stable as Princess Taiping said, nor is it vulnerable to a single blow as Dugu Yuanjie said.In short, the shortcomings of the emperor Li Dan's public equipment have been fully revealed.

Li Dan thought that a new government order centered on him could be established by evading the old ministers and entrusted by Jun Enpu. This idea is not far from naive.There is grace but no prestige, no matter how much grace is bestowed, it will only fuel the greed in people's hearts.

What's more, these Guanlong nobles and Guandong famous families have been passed down from the great division and chaos of the Northern and Southern Dynasties to the present. What kind of favor can satisfy them sincerely?

Once a lot of things have been opened, it is difficult to stop them. For example, this time the courtiers asked to let Yu Wang Li Chengqi enter Guanzhong to worship the ancestors, and the courtiers united to treat the emperor as a pot.Since you want to use King Yu's marriage to stop the car, don't blame everyone for carrying King Yu out as a pawn to throw stones and ask for directions, as a sacrifice.

In the beginning, the marriage partner of the king of Yu chose a family from Hebei. Although this matter is not conclusive, it is also known to the government and the public.Because of this, Cui Xuanwei took a clear-cut stand against the expansion of Xingtai forces in the court, and finally paid the price of his life for this.

Cui Xuanwei's death was finally dealt with unclearly, which made the people of Hebei feel dissatisfied.As a result, the marriage of King Yu is confirmed now, and this is a slap on the face of the Hebei guy, just to tease you, you still take it seriously.

During the Wu Zhou Dynasty, many people from Hebei also became prime ministers, and since this year, all kinds of awards from the court have been naturally excluded, which can be said to be two major disappointments in the officialdom and love.

If you can't get it, you will destroy it, not to mention being played so hard this time, so some Hebei court officials first asked the king of Yu to go west.

Not only did it present a dilemma for the emperor, but it also revealed a fig leaf for the emperor Li Dan: the important matter of the country is to worship Wei Rong, and you are the emperor so that your father doesn't even know it. What are you so awesome about?Since Chui Gong, have you ever visited your father's grave and incense?

Regardless of whether the king of Yu is going west or not, the reason for this critical question has been buried.If King Yu goes west, should it be the emperor's turn next?If King Yu doesn't go, you two will be having a rough time.

Nowadays, a large number of Guanlong court scholars flooding the court have no need to object to this.The Guannei was originally the place where our small circle thrived. Now that I have managed to get out, I dare not go back, but I have to come up with a challenger to lead everyone back to our glorious place!

As the eldest son of the current emperor, King Yu doesn't have Guan Long's blood flowing on his body, so he is an excellent choice to test the bottom line of Xingtai.To put it bluntly, even if King Yu is directly killed by King Yong, what loss do we have?It is even possible that once King Yu goes west, he is doomed not to return alive!

But if the king of Yu dare not go west, dare not take on such a thing, you are also worthy of being in the erotic palace?

Previously, Li Tong deliberately avoided the envoy and did not give a formal response at all, that is, no matter how he expressed his position, it was easy to be exploited by others.You two love to come back or not, anyway, I squatted in Chang'an, kissing my grandfather.

The reason why his fourth uncle sent a Chinese envoy instead of a court envoy probably also had the idea of ​​sending him a thunderbolt, in order to use his power to suppress the raging court sentiment.Of course, if the courtiers are really sent, Li Tong can shake it up: You even asked me if you should visit your father's grave, so I don't think you should be the emperor, will you listen?

Based on these calculations, Li Tong can be sure that the court situation is basically out of control, and even he has been unable to reverse it, and if there are any changes in the future, he can only follow the trend.

Even after Li Shouli's father-in-law came to Beijing to meet, he couldn't help persuading King Yong to return to the court to preside over the situation. From this, we can infer the attitude of the entire Xingtai to take care of the crowd.

Especially this year when Xingtaijia soldiers gathered in Chang'an, once the situation intensifies to the point where it belongs to the big weapon, Li Tong will definitely not be able to make any concessions.Even as long as the imperial court announces that the king of Yu will travel westward to worship his ancestors, Li Tong must call on the army on the back foot, and let us return to the country to ask about politics.

If not, he would not be able to explain the situation on and off the platform, and we have worked so hard to manage the current situation in Shaanxi. Is it really going to be reduced to working for the second landlord in the end?

The reason why he doesn't make a clear statement on public or private occasions right now is that the influence of the imperial court is secondary. What he fears is that if his attitude is too aggressive, he will be pushed forward by the raging public opinion.The two major frontier defense plans that Taiwan has just established may be stagnant because of this.

"Regardless of the general situation in the future, we can no longer make easy plans. Brother, you must also be prepared to stay in Xijing. Once I am threatened by the general situation, Chang'an must be guarded."

Li Tong also had reservations about those relatives, and he didn't even want these relatives to directly participate in the subsequent expansion of disputes.Previously, the father-in-law Tang Xiuzhong was arranged to follow Yao Yuan Chongbei to Hetao, and Yang Xianzong followed Cao Renshi to Longnan. As for Zheng Rong himself, who was not involved in military affairs, he was raised in Chang'an as the governor of Longzhou.

As for his brother Li Guangshun, there was nothing to hide, and only then did he reveal his truest thoughts.

"The situation in the world is really difficult. If the situation continues to deteriorate in the coming year, Sanlang, you have to... Don't worry, I will try my best to maintain the situation you explained. It's just, just, I don't know what to say, but Sanlang, you will Da Xiongcai, you can’t stick to things, but if you really have the best of both worlds, you need to be cautious about some things..."

Li Guangshun's expression was extremely serious when he heard this, but his tone of voice was unavoidably hesitant and tangled.

Of course, Li Tong understood what the eldest brother wanted. He was worried that he would commit too many crimes in his relationship with others, and he was also afraid that he would not be able to accomplish great things if he insisted on benevolence and forgiveness.

"Although the saint has gradually tolerated me in recent years, since I entered the business, I have never threatened to abuse my relatives. The only thing I have in mind now is that Tang Ye will not fall. Other than that, the rest are all inferior However, if there are still two things that can be followed, you will never be alone! Otherwise, how will you face your ancestors, descendants, and the people of the world?"

Li Tong sighed and said with emotion.

"Well, the world is hard and people's hearts are sinister. Only Sanlang can still make up his mind in the face of such a situation. As for me, I only obey orders and don't even dare to think about the future. People's words may be scary, but Sanlang You can still have such a heart, and you are already worthy of your admiration. If the situation is really in a dilemma, don't make it too difficult for yourself. We have a whole family of lives, and we still have to rely on you alone!"

Li Guangshun took Li Tong's hand and said affectionately.

"The sage entered into this dangerous situation, partly to blame. But I still have a little bit of fear right now, and I don't lose the troubles of human emotions. Even if I control a hundred thousand strings and Luling doesn't move, I can't move lightly. Shannan Fengshui is not enough Bury this precious bone!"

With the development of the situation at this stage, apart from his various arrangements being certain, as for the other changes, Li Tong did not dare to boast that he could predict how certain they were.For example, there is a high probability that his third uncle will be involved in the ensuing chaos, but Li Tong can't even guess at what time and in what way he will enter the game.

Of course, no matter how the future situation develops, compared with the all-or-nothing situation on the eve of the revolution in Shendu, he is still relying on him now, and he already has the energy to influence the current situation and even set the country.

Chapter 0740 Beiya army is strong, saints do not go to court

In Yuanbi City to the north of Shendu City, there was the sound of drums and thunder.

On the huge school field, several groups of Jiawu formed their own camps, and under the guidance of the flags and banners that were flying in the wind, they either advanced or retreated in an orderly manner.With the sound of the horn, elite cavalry rushed out from each battalion, clutching and crisscrossing among the fronts, very mighty.

"It's only been a few months since I became an army, and I already have such a brave posture. Let all the classic soldiers enter the front, and appreciate this majesty!"

Under the banner, Emperor Li Dan was also wearing bright armor, standing with his sword in hand, looking at the mighty Beiya army in front of him, his heart was full of pride, and he clapped his hands and laughed loudly.

According to the emperor's order, not long after, all the battalion commanders came to the high platform erected by the big banner, and each of them went forward to sing their names and worship.

Seeing the majestic and majestic generals of the Forbidden Army that he personally selected, Li Dan was even more joyful, and said with a smile on the stage: "The generals are exempt! Since the expansion of Wanqi, all the generals have worked hard in the Jiawu. So far The rules are impressive. The soldiers worked hard inside and outside the palace gates, and I had to sleep between the palaces and pavilions. Today, I will meet up and down in the inner city. Watching this magnificent situation is a reward. The generals have donated to me for their loyalty and courage. Whatever is needed, I will give Do it for it, and before entering, everyone expresses their wishes."

When the generals heard the emperor's generous words, they couldn't help but be overjoyed, but for a while they couldn't figure out the scale of the bold words and promises, so they didn't dare to rush forward to invite them.

After a while, a young general in the front line came forward and kowtowed deeply: "I am fortunate to be a descendant of the clan family. In the old years, I was forced by the demon atmosphere and lived in the rivers and lakes. Strangers dare not plan far, and tears are hard to see. Your Majesty Cultivate great ambitions, rise up in the palace, and bring back the right way in the world, and the ministers and other entangled subordinates, because of this, also rejoice in the grace of heaven, and now they are recommended to be guards, and we share weal and woe. , the society will grow peacefully!"

The young man's name is Li Chengkuang, he is the great-grandson of King Ai of Chu, Li Zhiyun, and now he is the Duke of Chu, and he will be in charge of the Wanqi camp as the general of You Yulin Zhonglang.

Hearing what Li Chengkuang said, Li Dan couldn't help laughing out of relief, motioned for him to come on stage without courtesy, stroked his neck and said with emotion: "The evils of the old world are unbearable to look back on. But now I hold the new talisman , To be in charge of the family and society of the clan, you should distinguish clearly. The clan of the Duke of Chu is young and strong, and the words of loyalty speak from the bottom of your heart, how can you be left alone! Even if you are not yet strong in the world, the clan should give you deep encouragement!"

While speaking, Li Dan took a jade book from the attendant and handed it to Li Chengkuang.

After Li Chengkuang saw this, his whole body was already trembling with excitement, he prostrated himself on the ground and bowed again, trembling the jade book with his hands.

The emperor is the lord of the world, and everything has its extraordinary significance. The jade book is undoubtedly the most advanced kind, so-called establishing a son after the establishment, sealing the tree and the screen, and granting the book in Linxuan.

Li Chengkuang is now the duke of the state, and now the emperor personally bestows the jade book, which undoubtedly means being crowned king, and it can't just be a fly swatter for fun.

Of course, there is a complete set of strict etiquette for such a big matter as canonization of the Zongwang, not to mention that the book must go through the Zhongshu sect, at least a third-rank official Linxuan must give the book, of course it is impossible to be so relaxed on the school grounds Finish.

Therefore, the jade book given to Li Chengkuang by Emperor Li Dan is just blank, and there is no written record.But this behavior is already an obvious and incomparable instruction, and Li Chengkuang will definitely be crowned king within a few days.

Seeing that Li Chengkuang was so excited that he almost wanted to cut his heart open to show his loyalty, Li Dan was also quite satisfied, and with a smile he asked the Zhongguan to take Li Chengkuang off the stage.

At this moment, all the generals around Dazhu were very excited when they saw this scene.Li Chengkuang was originally a son of the clan family, and he was conferred the title of prince for his meritorious service in military training. Naturally, they did not dare to covet such a chance, but seeing His Majesty bestowing such a title on such a grand occasion, the excitement was beyond words. All kinds of voices of loyalty and righteousness can be heard all over the world.

This kind of atmosphere also makes Li Dan very happy. Beiya Wanqi can be said to be a direct line of force that he built from scratch. The soldiers are so loyal that he feels that the authority in his hands is attached. Not empty nothingness.

Next, several Beiya generals who were well-trained in the army also appeared on the stage to receive awards one after another, and their ranks of magnates had greatly improved, so that the whole school field continued to cheer.

After receiving the reward, a general couldn't help expressing his stance even more excitedly: "Nowadays, thousands of riders are organized, and the camp is full of soldiers, but we are short of weapons and staffs. But if we have enough supplies, the ministers will do their best to repay the emperor's kindness. Let the world proclaim the might of our Beiya army!"

Hearing the general's statement, Li Dan couldn't help but feel unnatural.Now that Wanqi is compiled, the military orders of the battalions are quite organized, but there is still one thing, that is, there are not enough basic armor knives and staffs.

Including today's martial arts performance, the battalion soldiers have different robes and sticks, and there are many bamboo and wooden weapons, which inevitably greatly reduces the military appearance.

Regarding this point, Li Dan is also quite helpless.Prior to the revolution in Shendu, King Yong took control of Beiya, and the storage equipment in Beiya was almost empty.Since then, the imperial government’s finances have been tight. Although the Shaofu and Taifu have government-made supplements, they have not been able to open up a large amount of production and supply, not to mention that there is a big money-hungry family like Nanya who urgently needs to be supplemented.

In the middle of the year, Shaanxi Province delivered hundreds of thousands of money and goods, allowing the emperor to bypass the southern provinces, personally select generals and recruit soldiers.In line with the principle of strength in numbers, Wanqi really recruited tens of thousands of people without discount.

For the newly recruited army, practicing martial arts and all kinds of expenses, the hundreds of thousands of money in Shaanxi Province have already been spent in sevens and eighties.Next, the Beiya military will make additional additions, and the Wai Dynasty cannot be bypassed.

Not to mention that the emperor's current internal treasury is already cramped, even if the palace is rich and useful, it is a big project to replenish the armor knives and equipment of tens of thousands of people, and it is impossible to bypass the outer court and directly carry out smelting in the palace.

Previously, Li Dan planned to use a batch of equipment from the Nan Ya branch to supplement the Bei Ya, but was stopped by Wang Xiaojie, who was then Minister of the Ministry of War. When you personally put on your armor and hold your sword, you will defend the inner city.Otherwise, it would be a waste of people and money to gather soldiers from the Beiya army and use up materials, which is not appropriate at the right time.

It was precisely because of this dispute that the emperor finally exhausted the last bit of patience he had with Wang Xiaojie and dismissed him as prime minister.But even though Wang Xiaojie was dismissed, the matter of supplementing equipment in the Beiya was still unable to pass the political affairs hall, and the reason was very realistic, that is, there was no money!

Li Dan certainly cannot accept such a reason.The financial distress of the imperial court is one aspect, but there must be a judgment and trade-off for everything used.No matter how tight the imperial court's finances are, it can be even tighter than that of Daxingtai, Shaanxi Province.Previously, Daxingtai had set up a military weapon supervision department, and it had been smelted and casted in Lishan Mountain, so that the water flowing to the north of Shendu River had a smell of rust. How could the courtiers have the face to say that they had no money to arm the new Beiya army?

In the final analysis, it was nothing more than that the courtiers did not want to see the emperor have too powerful cronies.Previously, when the Beiya expanded its army, Yushitai had already made frequent remonstrances, and his opinions were similar to those of Wang Xiaojie, but because all the materials and uses were out of the palace treasury, the emperor just avoided talking about such remarks, and it was difficult for foreign courts to have practical opinions. Interfering with the course of events.

Now that a sum of foreign money has been spent, all the supplies of materials cannot be bypassed by the southern provinces, and Li Dan's disputes with the court officials cannot be avoided, so that the supply of materials to the North Yamen has been hindered.

But today's Li Dan is not a newcomer who has just left the palace and is helpless in the face of complicated situations. He also has his own method for how to avoid disputes and achieve his own intentions.

Today's martial arts performance in Yuanbi City, apart from really needing to test the results of Beiya's military training, Li Dan also hopes to use this to deter the current turbulent court sentiment.

After returning from Yuanbi City, he took off his military uniform and put on ordinary clothes. Li Dan summoned Su Yong, the regular attendant, and asked, "Have you checked all the warehouses in Xuanwu City?"

After Su Yong heard the words, he hurriedly approached on his knees, put the books in his hands to the front of the case, and replied respectfully: "The armor knives, bows, crossbows and other equipment stored in the warehouses of Xuanwu City are all recorded in the books, please read them."

Now that it is already known that the outer dynasty as a whole holds a resistant attitude towards the expansion of the Beiya army, the emperor naturally cannot support the outer dynasty in everything, and is still expanding through other means, and has received the booklet presented by the middle official. Looking through, I was slightly dissatisfied with the data, but it didn't show in the form, I just said in a deep voice: "Everything stored in the warehouse is strictly sealed up, no warrants are allowed, and no warehouses are allowed to be issued!"

After Su Yong heard the words, he nodded his head quickly, and Li Dan immediately said, "How many people from the foreign court are you meeting today?"

"Wei Xianggong was invited five times, and Li Xianggong was invited three times..."

Hearing the Zhongguan's report, Li Dan's eyes flickered sharply and he snorted coldly. He read through the records of the meeting with the prime ministers, and then closed the volume and said: "Tomorrow morning, we will save it together. We will deal with political affairs." The hall members and Taichang, Guanglu, Zongzheng and Weiwei are all waiting to be called in the Hall of Renshou."

There was a lot of discussion in the foreign courts, all of them were asking the King of Yu to go west to worship the ancestors, and Li Dan naturally felt that the intentions were sinister.

At the beginning, he also hinted that the members of the Political Affairs Hall would suppress such discussions, but there was no obvious effect, so he simply stopped participating in the meeting of the Outer Court, and communicated all matters to the Outer Court through the middle officials, and just concentrated on preparing for the North Korea Ya Yanwu.

Of course, this doesn't mean that he doesn't care about foreign and domestic affairs. In the past period of time, there have been countless personnel changes in the Zhengshitang alone.

"Yao Xuan didn't even enter? Once he enters the court, he will be granted the season immediately, and he will be temporarily in charge of the history of the Prince of Yu's mansion, and the appointment period will be given to the Taoist government."

Yao Zhen was previously the governor of Bianzhou, but was impeached and dismissed due to various things such as the failure of the autumn tribute to the capital this year.However, Li Dan did not exile him directly, but called him back to the court as a regular servant on Sanqi, in order to let Yao Xuan preside over the wedding ceremony of King Yu as an envoy.

King Yong has not been in power for a long time, but he has a lot of fans, and Yao Chen is a key figure among them.Especially before and after King Yong's filial piety, the prime minister at the time, Yao Zhen, can be said to be a major medium for a large number of people from the south of the Yangtze River to join King Yong's family.

Now that Li Dan called Yao Xuan into the court, he had a plan to kill two birds with one stone. One was to continue to cool down the too noisy morale in the court, and the other was to shake King Yong's moral foundation.

"When Yao Xuan's car was passing Xingyang, his horse stumbled in shock and fell down and was injured. The Japanese and Chinese memorials told him that he was afraid that he would not be able to enter the capital before the year..."

"The old thief is cunning! Send the Chinese envoy and the imperial physician to the county for a diagnosis. Even if he dies, he will die in the capital of God!"

After Li Dan heard the words, he burst into anger and made up his mind not to allow Yao Xuan to stay out of the matter.After ordering this matter, he said again: "Call Taiping to meet in the palace tomorrow. The Duke of Chu intends to become the king of Guangling, and tomorrow he will send a letter to the two provinces. It was previously agreed that Beimang will open a palace, and she will also give me One responded!"

Chapter 0741 Beiya military, take a share

In the middle of this year, Zuo Yulin guards withdrew from Shangyang Palace, and Yongwang's family moved westward, but Shangyang Palace did not become deserted because of this.

Because Princess Taiping moved into Shangyang Palace shortly afterwards and lived next to her mother. Although it also caused some controversy in terms of etiquette, because none of the saints today clearly objected, and the situation in the capital of God was turbulent, no one caught her. The question persisted, and the matter was settled.

Earlier, when King Lu led Zuo Yulin guards to guard Shangyang Palace, due to Daxingtai of Shaanxi Dao and the power of King Yong being swept out of the court, Shangyang Palace was out of place in the current situation of Shendu. There is even a faint sense of confrontation in the Imperial City of the Inner City.

However, as Princess Taiping moved into Shangyang Palace, this situation disappeared.After all, today's saints and Princess Taiping have a deep brother-sister relationship, and the series of rewards in Shendu City are all promoted by Princess Taiping, and many Shiliu families who have benefited from this have more or less a heart for Princess Taiping gratitude.

Therefore, Shangyang Palace, which had almost no communication with the outside world, has become lively again because of the arrival of Princess Taiping. Not only are the wives both inside and outside frequently visiting, even some court officials will come to Shangyang from time to time. Visit the palace or attend a banquet.

Of course, this does not mean that the empress dowager regained the opportunity to communicate with the outside world. One of the conditions for the emperor to allow Princess Taiping to move into Shangyang Palace was to strictly restrict the empress dowager from meeting foreign ministers and wives, and even Even the empress dowager's living place is strictly restricted. The empress dowager can only live in the Ganlu hall, and the guards around the Ganlu hall must come from the Ouchi, and the food and beverages must also be provided by the Ouchi.

The emperor has sufficient experience in preventing and eradicating forbidden personnel.

After all, since Chuigong, the emperor has been imprisoned in Da Nei for more than ten years. During this process, it is not that he did not try to contact the foreign dynasty. experience of.

There are a large number of eunuchs arranged inside and outside the Ganlu Hall, and even a fallen leaf in front of the hall has a clear destination.It is also very difficult for the Empress Dowager to bypass this layer of supervision and obtain effective contact with foreign courts.

Of course, there is no way to know these details.Even from a certain point of view, the existence of the empress dowager became a bait for the emperor to monitor whether there were still treacherous evil intentions in the court.

Although Princess Taiping has moved into Shangyang Palace, she is not a character who can live in a deep palace. There are still many personnel affairs to be intervened in the outside world. Activity.

As a result, Xianluomen has become the most frequent palace gate in Shangyang Palace, and because of some special reasons, many Shiliumen who have just entered the capital, even if they have not yet entered the court, will come to see Taiping as soon as possible. Princess.Coupled with Princess Taiping's current profound influence on the court, so much so that Shiliu joked that the palace in Xianluo Gate was the West Political Affairs Hall.

This so-called Western Political Affairs Hall is really not just talking. Although the matters it handles are not like the military and state affairs of the Political Affairs Hall, if it is busy, it is more than that.Some talents from the field and even court officials were recruited by Princess Taiping to handle many affairs on her behalf.

Of course, Princess Taiping herself is not idle. Every day, she has to approve a large number of documents and meet many current officials.For ordinary people, such a busy and stressful life is short-lived, but once it lasts for a long time, it will inevitably be miserable, but Princess Taiping enjoys it.

In the hall, there are many documents in the cage next to the desk, and a maid picks them one by one and delivers them to the desk.Princess Taiping, while reviewing the papers and reviewing them, said to the middle-aged scribes sitting in the hall: "At the end of the year, all the divisions will check the budget, compare the department's duties to check, and Mr. Zhang took the time to come, so I will make a long story short. The money is messy, the government has repeatedly urged the account, and it has been delayed. You go and tell Si Nong Zong Shaoqing, I don’t want to ask how much he is corrupt, but if the treasury money is short before the festival, and the cash exchange is missed, Then this Sinong Shaoqing, he should not do it!"

The person sitting in the middle of the table was Zhang Jinke, a doctor of Bibu. After hearing the words, he quickly responded respectfully, but couldn't help but said: "The Zong brothers are known to be greedy and despicable celebrities, so they shouldn't have been granted the post of treasurer. When Xu Junchen saw me, he told me that Zong's crimes had been tried and he could sue him at any time. My brother Liang Ke will enter the capital in a few days, so he can donate at any time..."
