Crown Tang emperor

It seems that although torture and killing are frequent, it avoids the proliferation of implicated people, which is easy to breed luck.Some cases were even stopped immediately if there was any expansion during the interrogation process, and the punishment was changed to another crime.After all, Li Tong knew who should be killed and who should not be killed, but the scope and rhythm must be in his own hands.

After reviewing the list of executions today, it is convenient for the hall to circulate and copy them in triplicate. One copy will be kept in the hall and then sent to the history museum, one copy will be sent to the subordinates, and the other copy will be sent to the Ministry of Punishment, each of which will be retained by the department.Originally, Yushitai also sent a copy, but the officials of the Taiwan Academy also belong to the worship officials in a broad sense, and now they have completely become an empty office.

Taking advantage of the time when the civil servants were handing down the documents, Li Tong looked at Zhang and said, "Zhang Lang is a man of great literature. It is indeed a loss to give it to the Criminal Division. Things are getting more and more complicated now. I am lonely and see my weaknesses. I especially need to A wide selection of academics in the library can make up for it. However, the old library violated the taboos of the ancestors, so that I dare not borrow intelligence. I also set up another library in Donghuamen to ask questions. Zhang Lang will be dismissed today. Before the government servants enter the capital, they must expand the hall."

Zhang said that he was listless at first, but when he heard this, his eyes lit up, and he hurriedly bowed down to thank him: "Thank you, Your Highness, for your kindness, and I will definitely live up to it!"

Seeing Zhang Shuo's reaction, Li Tong also nodded with a smile, wrote "Jiyingguan" in handwriting, and gave Zhang Shuo the post of supervisor of the Jiyingguan in class.According to another case, Yao Yan, who was working at his desk, couldn't help but look up at Yuan Si, the supervisor in the hall, after hearing this appointment, and then quickly lowered his head to continue his review.

The reason why Li Tong founded another school is also very simple, that is, to centralize power.Although the death of his fourth uncle Li Danheng in Beimang disrupted his arrangements and made him have to restore the personnel structure of the imperial court in advance, he did not give up his efforts to form a new team. step by step.

First of all, among the seven prime ministers he appointed, except for Yang Zaisi who joined the Zhengshitang as Zhongshu Shilang, the other six have their own duties, and none of them are officials from the two provinces. Identity and power questioned his decision, and concentrated the friction and contradictions at the top in the only place, the Zhengshitang.

Secondly, in the name of dereliction of duty, he directly suspended all the enshrined officials from the two provinces, and only retained political officials such as the six ministries and nine temples, so that the courtiers could concentrate on their work and strive for KPI, and stop talking and talking.

This kind of personnel structure is of course unreasonable, especially Zhongshu and the two provinces under the sect are directly emptied, and even the basic imperial edicts do not have legal effect.But Li Tong can't help it. The group of enshrined officials is mainly lip service, and they generally have a kind of servant nature. Their loyalty and obedience to the old order are relatively high. The real power of affairs is not great, but the right to speak Small.

If this group continues to remain, the imperial court will inevitably lose a lot of energy in internal friction, which is obviously not helpful, and they will simply suspend their duties and concentrate on doing things, regardless of right and wrong.

But doing so is not without consequences. First, the rules, regulations, and etiquette of the imperial court's decision-making cannot be reflected, and second, a large number of business decisions are gathered at the highest decision-making level.

The law and etiquette are easy to solve. It is nothing more than the level of approval of the officials. The promulgation of the "Yasukuni Format" established the overall tone of the Yasukuni period. Highly recognized, will not sing the opposite tune at every turn, and be cold-hearted, and everyone involved is a member of this community of interests.Moreover, when the order is promulgated, only "Yasukuni" will be signed and issued by Yousi.

The super-intensive workload and super-fast pace of exams did not leave them any time to think and discuss.As for the examination work that should have been jointly undertaken by Menxia Province, Yushitai, and the Ministry of Officials, in the "Yinguo Format", the power of quizzes every ten days was directly assigned to each department, and then submitted to the Ministry of Officials by each department as a It is a standard for the selection, and the award of the fifth rank and above is still reserved in the imperial court.

The "Yasukuni Format" itself is a temporary system of rewards and incentives, in order to allow the court to go through this special period smoothly and allow the courtiers to participate as much as possible.

The tasks of each department are different. In addition to the normal affairs that are beneficial to the restoration of chaos, in order to keep the various departments busy, Li Tong even made a plan to ask the first department to store the materials in the official warehouse in the morning, and in the afternoon Follow the order taken by another company.Anyway, don't be idle.

Of course, this will cause a lot of waste of personnel resources, but the problem is that once people are idle, their minds will be wild and their mouths will be outrageous.Thousands of people have thousands of faces. One moment they are tigers and wolves, the next moment they are sages, angels and devils, all of which are self-imposed jokes by the boring.

In an extraordinary period when the big goal is clear, it is nonsense to discuss whether the optimal allocation of resources has been achieved.Everyone is full and busy, a hard work, a harvest, this is the most basic logic of personnel operation.

What's more, in the past few years when his fourth uncle ruled the country, the imperial court has indeed accumulated a large number of matters related to people's livelihood that need to be dealt with urgently.And Li Tong does have many plans for reform. Although the Luoyang court is still in a state where government orders are difficult to get out of Heluo, this does not hinder the process of related administrative structure and data preparation.

For example, the two-tax law was tried out in Taiwan in the past, and the implementation was trembling, and there was no standard reference for merits or demerits.

But now, he can cooperate with the Ministry of Households, Sinong, Taifu, Shaofu and other departments to report the income and expenditure of various road rent adjustments, class money and miscellaneous donations, as well as the annual profit and loss of Changping warehouses in various states in the past ten years. All the old records were sorted out, so as to lay a theoretical foundation for the next reform.

Moreover, these old papers and old books also hide the secret of the imperial court maintaining the rule of the entire world.How many months did the state rent transfer start, and how many months did it enter the capital? It may not be obvious for a year or two. Once the time dimension is extended, it will be extremely precious military information for the rebellion that may break out in the states.

The emotional motivation and manpower of the officials may be easy to handle, but the accumulation of files in the Zhengshitang is a headache.The efficiency of the department's work has improved, but the decision-making efficiency of the upper management has seriously failed to keep up. Especially with the suspension of the enshrined officials, many business decisions that were originally sinking have emerged, which has caused great trouble to the work of the Zhengshitang.

Of course, Li Tong dared to abolish the imperial court's enshrined officials, because he himself had a staff group.

This is Li Tong's well-established starting team, and he is naturally more at ease in using it. When all these people enter the capital, it will naturally greatly alleviate the current situation.Moreover, all the officials retained by the imperial court are political officials, and after the bureaucrats return to the capital, they can also avoid quarrels and disputes over the right to speak.

To seize power, run schools first, this is also the fine tradition of their Li family, and it is by no means the only trick of the Xuanwumen Incident.For example, his grandfather Li Shimin's Eighteenth Bachelor of the Qin Mansion, such as his grandmother's Beimen Bachelor.

Li Tong is naturally not far behind in this regard. In his early years, a scholar from Xiyuan, the former residence of Luxinfang, cultivated his popularity in Shilin. However, after he left the capital for several years, most of the old people in Xiyuan also dispersed.When he was in Chang'an, he organized a direct bachelor from the Wangfu as his staff secretary team.

However, now that he is entering the court and ruling, the level he is facing is much higher than the original platform, so of course some adjustments must be made, and he can no longer be the grassroots team in the past.

For example, his great-grandfather, Li Shimin, after he ascended the throne, transferred the royal bachelors to the Hongwen Museum in Menxia Province to divide the power of his subordinates.Li Longji, Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, also established the Hanlin Academy to distribute the power of Zhongshu.

There are also good reasons for Li Tong to create a new museum in addition to his original museum studies.

Donggong Chongwenguan’s real name is Chongxianguan, which violated the taboo of his second father Li Xian’s name. Although it has been changed, it’s not a good idea to think about it. Moreover, he directly supervises the country and has no seat in the East Palace. It was tearful.Not to mention the provincial Hongwen Museum under the door, his elder father refused.

So there is nothing to say about the re-innovation hall in Donghuamen.Who dares to force me to be unfilial, I have to show him the knife!

The establishment of a new academy to accommodate staff is only the first step.The next step is to set up the Hanlin Academy under the Zhongshu Province to divide the power of the Zhongshu Province and make the power distribution of the court healthier or more beneficial to the king.

After all, Zhongshu Sheng is not only in charge of the patent, but also the chief of the Zhengshitang, so the power is too great.In Wu Zhou Dynasty, Zhongshu Shilang was the prime minister with the highest probability of accidents. Zhang Jianzhi was fine in Zhongshu Province, but he ended up killing the emperor.

Even his fourth uncle Li Dan knew how to give him the false title of Zhongshu Ling, so as to avoid oligarchs in the court, but in the end Wei Chengqing turned his back on him. This shows that the weight of Zhongshu has become a king and a sloppy eye It is possible to eat up the position.

However, Zhongshu has been in charge of the imperial edict for a long time, and its authority has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, so it is not easy to cut off the authority rashly, especially in this sensitive period.

Therefore, when Li Tong appointed the prime minister, he only gave the position of Minister of Zhongshu to Yang Zaisi, just to use the power of the Zhongshu Province to announce the edict, and the separation of the power of the Zhongshu Province can only be discussed in the long term.It seems that there is not much difference, and the authority of the same honor is granted, and there is a lot of scheming in it.

Zhang said that during this period of adjudication and imprisonment, all he did was detrimental to people's hope and morality. Now he has finally landed, and seeing this new ministry, he knows that the future is bright. He left the political affairs hall with raised eyebrows.

Li Tong also had reservations about Zhang Said this little trick.This kid was born in Luozhou local tyrants, he is of high quality and has a wide range of contacts, so he is favored by the bigwigs in the government and the opposition, so Li Tong was punished before this to suppress his popularity.

Right now, there is no way to hand over the affairs of the Jiyingguan Academy to Zhang Shuo.If you want the staff to participate in military and political affairs immediately after entering the capital, it is not just as simple as giving them a hall to hold a meeting. All things such as chapters, maps and books must be arranged first. Things are cumbersome and important. Zhang said he is well versed in court affairs The operation and ability are indeed not bad, just right for use.His preparation will also allow the staff of the Jiying Hall to get on the right track as soon as possible after they are in place, and play the role of a think tank for consultation.

After all, the current power map has suddenly expanded to the entire world. Even if there are still many confidantes in the imperial court, there are more key positions that need to be filled. In terms of personnel arrangements, Li Tong can only use them on a tight schedule.

After dark, the frequency of transporting documents to the Zhengshitang finally slowed down.Li Tong reviewed some of the documents in a hurry and then stopped temporarily. Taking advantage of dinner, he summoned a few officials who were about to be sent abroad to have a conversation.

Right now, most of the courtiers are staying in the imperial city, so it is convenient to summon them.In the cafeteria on the outer corridor of the political affairs hall, the meals had just been served, and several people summoned by Li Tong rushed into the hall one after another.

After asking how many people had already eaten, Li Tong was no longer polite. He grabbed a piece of Hubing biscuit and ate it in two or three bites to satisfy his hunger. Have you received it? Is it possible to leave tomorrow? If you have any doubts, please report."

Several people are Zheng Gao, Fang Rong, Xu Jian, etc. Their foreign posts are mainly the governors and county magistrates of the states south of the Yellow River, especially the counties along the canal.

Although Li Tong made some major adjustments to the official affairs of the foreign state at the beginning of the supervision of the country, he knew in his heart that these were just tricks and tricks to scare people. Or an old man who supervises the country, giving people the illusion that the world is under the control of the imperial court.

When the Tang family first ruled the world, the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion did indeed have a lot of power, and it controlled military and political affairs across states and regions, which was no less than that of the Mid-Tang Jiedu.But since the completion of the unification of the world, the power of the Metropolitan Governor's Office has been more and more compressed. Most of the governors of the states are controlled by princes. Political affairs gradually belong to the states, and the Metropolitan Governor's Office has gradually degenerated into an embarrassing existence.

If the states did not accept the imperial court and indeed rebelled, it would be very difficult to suppress it with the governor's office of the states alone.But the rebellion is not just doing it, and the personnel appointments of the major governors are more or less deterrent.For places like Lingnan and Shannan, it is of course best to be able to frighten them. Even if they cannot be frightened, it will not cause too much trouble in the short term.

Just because he knew it was a gimmick, he was sure that there would be troubles in Hebei. Li Tong didn't make any personnel adjustments at all. Even if he personally led the governor of Jizhou, what should happen would still happen.

But some places still need more attention, that is the area from Yangzhou to the Yellow River.Because Xu Jingye’s rebellion and Li Tang’s clan’s rebellion occurred successively in this area as early as the Chuigong period, the people were slightly accustomed to rebellion, and the Grand Canal runs straight from north to south, which is also the most important channel for blood transfusion for the court, so more attention is needed. cautious.

Therefore, Li Tong did not make general adjustments to this area. Although Ge Fuyuan was appointed as the governor of Yangzhou, the prefectures and counties along the canal also assigned cronies to govern.In addition to appointing a few people to govern the prefectures and counties, they even deployed more than a thousand people from the currently abundant troops to escort them into the prefecture along the way.

Several people also knew that the responsibility of this trip was prudent, and it was not just a statement of assurance, but based on reality, each put forward some practical needs, and Li Tong also tried to meet them.

After seeing a few people, the night was already very dark, Li Tong had just returned to the political affairs hall to sit down, Yang Sixuan, who was on duty in the palace, hurried into the hall, and whispered before entering the hall that there was a hidden fire spreading in the Shendu Garden, and it should be caused by the palace people. .

Chapter 0780 the king's heart is like iron, the fire is hard to melt

When Li Tong returned to the inner palace, the riot had been extinguished, and the cause of the riot had also been investigated. More than a dozen eunuchs intended to snatch the cruise ship parked in Jiuzhou Lake, hoping to use this to smooth things out. Using the waterway to send Xiang Wang's coffin and his family members out of Da Nei and across the river to the east of the river, they accidentally burned the cruise ship in Jiuzhou Pool, causing the matter to leak out, and the palace officials stopped and killed them.

Li Tong stood in the corridor of a palace and glanced at the corpses of a dozen or so eunuchs. Since the palace people did not have sharp weapons to ration them, these dozen or so eunuchs, old and young, were strangled to death by silk cloth soaked in water, one by one. His face and body were twisted and hideous.

The person who arrested and killed these eunuchs was Fan Liangchen, the eunuch of the inner court and the envoy of the palace across the city. He was a tall and thin eunuch in his early forties. .

"Why not keep alive?"

Yang Sixu returned to Jian Guo after checking the death status of the people, pointed at Fan Liangchen and said angrily.

Fan Liangchen's head was drooping, and he said in a trembling voice: "These palace slaves are despicable and perverted, and they harbor traitors. Now His Royal Highness is being buried in the next city, and the family is weeping and mourning together. It is really difficult to be disturbed by the evil outside... Chen Cheng En Jian guarding the city, really can't bear, can't bear to see His Highness's soul suffer again..."

Of course, this excuse is not convincing. Yang Sixu was still waiting to ask questions, but Li Tong waved his hand to stop him, pointing to Fan Liangchen and saying: "Since you are in Zhineiyuan, you must guard the mourning hall thoroughly. There will be no such disturbances in the future." , shoot to kill! Go ahead."

After waving Fan Liangchen and other eunuchs away, Li Tong turned around and went to Huiyou Hall.Yang Sixuu chased after him, and couldn't help but whispered: "Since King Xiang stopped the coffin to separate the city, there have been frequent disturbances in the inner palace, and this is already the fifth incident... If it's just the palace people plotting chaos privately, this servant will never believe!"

After Li Tong finished listening, he frowned a little annoyedly and gave Yang Sixuan a sideways look. You don't believe me, so do I?But the problem is, this matter is really difficult to handle.

Qin Hui has three friends, not to mention the king of a country.His fourth uncle has been in power for a few years, not to mention how the foreign forces collapsed, there are still many fans who are grateful for the past in the relatively closed palace.Especially the many eunuchs and eunuchs among the palaces and gardens, they are loyal and full of sympathy to Xiangwang's family, and they are far more hardcore than the officials of the outer court.

Li Tong's family was imprisoned in the palace back then, under such a difficult situation, they developed a group of loyal palace people, and provided him with a lot of help during his growth.

People at the bottom may be ignorant due to limited channels for obtaining information. For example, these eunuchs do not know that Jiuzhou Lake cannot be connected to the Yellow River at all, but the more poor people are, the more they stick to the justice recognized in their hearts.

What's more, small people also have big dreams. Historically, the eunuchs really risked their lives to follow his fourth uncle's family to carry out the revolution. Not only did they gain glory, but after the Anshi Rebellion, they became a cancer that grew out of the imperial power.

It is also very simple to solve the problem of frequent riots in the inner palace, just kill them all.

Although Li Tong's insistence on these low-level figures is also a positive recognition, it is not too lenient to bear the harm. After all, as long as he is an individual, he has to bear the price for his own choice. These eunuchs have no idea how many deaths they have arranged for him. Even if they are killed once and for all, Li Tong has no psychological burden at all, and he will be loyal to him.

But in the final analysis, the timing is wrong.At least until the Hedong crisis is resolved, this matter can only go on like this.Although sporadic riots happened from time to time, they were not considered major events. As long as a few key personnel and affairs were kept from going wrong, similar riots were just the palace people's panic and sadness.

Li Tong hurried all the way, and soon came to the inner hall of Huiyou Hall. Just as he walked to the door, his aunt Princess Taiping came up to him nervously, pulled him and asked, "Careful, just now is the fire in Xiyuan..."

"It's not a big deal, it's been resolved."

After Li Tong heard the words, he replied casually. He raised his hand to summon the palace servants to ask the Empress Dowager how her life was. On the other side, Princess Taiping couldn't help but sighed: "It's a blessing and a misfortune to be born in the heavenly family. Pity your fourth uncle." Just passed away, and there is no elder in the family to support the family..."

"It's just that a few thieves and slaves wanted to steal the horses from the idle stables. It has nothing to do with the Xiyuan tragedy."

Li Tong said something more casually, turned his gaze from the corner of the eye, and saw the astonishment in the corner of his aunt's eyes, and then walked into the inner hall, turned around the screen and sighed to the empress dowager who was half lying in the inner hall: "Recently, the capital is Jijia. The strength is still tense, but the [-] troops from Xingtai have passed Tongguan, and in a few days there will be no more such disturbances inside and outside, and grandma can sleep peacefully."

"The old man is blind and deaf, how much can he see and hear? Be careful with you, you need to ask about both internal and external, and you don't have to force yourself to copy the details."

Wu Zetian signaled Li Tong to come and sit down. Seeing the tiredness between his brows and eyes, he pondered for a moment and then said, "I'm at ease to entrust you with the foreign affairs. Since your grandmother is still here, you can't take care of me." You don’t need to be too distracted and careful. After the October ceremony, the palace servants who can thank you will be sent to the Qianling Mausoleum, and the rest will be taken to the Xiyuan to end their remaining lives. The master of the world has no reason to stain his feathers with mere palace filth.”

Hearing this, Li Tong couldn't help but feel even more emotional. The death of his two uncles really hit his grandma so hard that his personality changed a lot.It was obvious that his grandma saw that he had intentionally connived at the chaos in the palace, and then he planned to wipe it all out, so she said that.

Behind the screen, Princess Taiping was still hesitating whether to walk in, but she was even more shocked when she heard this, the steps that had been lifted suddenly fell, and then she turned and walked out.

Looking at the shadow of the lamp projected on the screen, Li Tong sighed, and without concealing his feelings, he looked up at his grandmother and said: "When Xiang Nian was young, there was indeed a complaint that grandma was too prestige and affectionate, and no one dared to approach her. Now Being in this position, I have some experience. A person's talent does not matter how big or small, and all things are in front of him. Only by being cautious and light, can we not lose order.

Being full of big plans makes me anxious inside, and I really don't have the time to focus on the details.My life experience is not the same as that of my grandmother. If you want to keep things in check, you can't indulge yourself.If things are not out of control right now, Xuanwei will be merciful, otherwise, I am afraid that love and law will run counter to each other, and each other will be intolerable. "

When Wu Zetian heard this, a gloomy look inevitably flashed in his eyes, but soon Li Tong continued: "Since my grandmother has deep confidence in me, she is willing to give me her family and country, no matter what, I will never be bullied, Let my old relatives be depressed. The world is enshrined in one family, so why not allow two or three relatives and disciples? But when it is still alive, the state family can only let it go. I hope that my relatives will not force me for a short time.

I cheated the heavens and stole the life of an evil person. If it wasn't for my grandmother's pity and protection, I would have more than enough to make good fortune?It was a coincidence, fortunately here, in the universe, there is a bond of love and affection, no more than my grandmother and I, we will never let the power be willful, and let the grandmother cry in the world. "

Wu Zetian originally had a sullen look on his brows, but when he heard this, his expression softened again, pointing at Li Tong and cursing with a smile: "There is no need to despise your life motto, your grandmother has experienced many honors and disgraces in her life, and the person who has passed her eyes is even more so." I don't know how many things, but you are a child of me. You are so old, it is difficult to disturb you for a few more years. You have a good sense of proportion when you come here. Although you often talk about favors, how can favors disturb you? Right now, let's stick to the old relationship and ask you for a few years of peace, but in the future, it's all up to you."

Speaking of this, Wu Zetian couldn't help yawning. Seeing this, Li Tong stepped forward to smooth the wrinkled quilt, and said softly: "Grandmother, rest at ease, I will deal with the matter as soon as possible. The people in Duji You can be fine, but what happens to the outsiders is beyond my control."

Hearing this, Wu Zetian frowned even more, but still held Li Tong's wrist subconsciously. Li Tong just leaned on the left side of the couch, and when he heard a slight and even snoring sound, he tentatively pulled out his wrist and stood up. Some people have been sitting for a long time and lack of oxygen, their body shakes slightly, and suddenly they feel a warm and soft body on their side.

"Your highness, your highness is busy and toiling, and you can sleep with your relatives. Even ordinary families rarely have such filial sons and grandchildren..."

Yang Xi'er subconsciously stepped forward to support the slightly swaying Jian Guo Yuansi, and immediately her pretty face was stained with clouds, she lowered her head shyly, but she still had the courage to speak softly.

Li Tong withdrew his arms and elbows in embarrassment, only then noticed the girl who had been standing side by side, but after hearing this, he couldn't help but look at the girl a few times, what did you see and hear?Know what my grandma and I were talking about just now?

"You, you... the lady is from Mr. Yang's family?"

After a few glances, Li Tong asked softly in surprise.Although he had returned to the capital for many days, he had been busy all the time, and he really hadn't carefully observed the people around his grandmother.Since he has no intention of asking about trivial matters, naturally no one will explain them to him in detail.

When Yang Xi'er heard this, her eyes darkened at first, and then she showed some surprise after a while: "Your Highness still remember me?"

After Li Tong heard the words, he felt a little embarrassed, and raised his hand to signal the girl to follow him out of the dormitory. While walking, he raised his hand to measure the girl's height, and then lowered his feet.

Seeing this, Yang Xi'er lowered her body and turned her head sideways, put her forehead on the edge of Li Tong's hand, and raised her head while walking. After walking out of the dormitory, she returned to her normal standing posture, her eyes smiling like crescent moons, full of girls Delicate, she spread her hands and said in her mouth: "It has become like this."

Seeing the girl's cheerful smile, Li Tong's mood was also slightly affected, and the corner of his mouth curled up, and he said again: "I am full of miscellaneous things, neglecting to eat and serve, and in the palace, there is a lady to prepare for daily affairs."

"If the former residence is rejected, there is always a need for a shelter. Fortunately, the Empress Dowager chose to use it, and the concubine was able to avoid growing up in the wild. Wandering in the inner garden does not violate the father's will, and dare not be asked by His Royal Highness."

Hearing what the lady of the Yang family said, Li Tong laughed dryly, and said with emotion: "The story is twists and turns, and it's hard to explain it in one word. The lady doesn't need to be trapped in old love, she just needs to live happily. I can take comfort in Huangquan."

Yang Xi'er curled her lips when she heard the words, then felt indecent and impolite, she quickly lowered her head and said: "Is Your Highness really ignorant of her own brilliance? What kind of woman in the world is far away from wanting to be married, and still have joy for the rest of her life? But my concubine knows very well that the king's heart is like iron, and the fire is hard to melt, and that people who blame others will eventually blame themselves, and the miserable state is just annoying, so it is better to smile at each other, maybe I can accept it again..."

After Li Tong heard this, he laughed again, took two steps back and looked at the already slim girl again, he couldn't help feeling that he had really grown up, waved his hands and said with a smile: "My lady is frank, knowing that I am not caring enough , I will see you again in the future, so I will bid farewell tonight."

Chapter 0781 by your slave head, as a warning to others

After leaving the inner bedroom, Li Tong came to the front hall and summoned Yang Sixuan to order: "Move Xiang Wang's coffin into the Jingyun Gate inner dojo, and set up a mourning hall for internal and external officials to pay respects. In addition, we will strictly investigate the recent garden. If there is any disturbance in the middle of the country, if there is any incident, it will be arrested immediately and sent to the court, and Wang Meichang will postpone the trial after returning to the capital."

Seeing that His Highness finally paid attention to this matter, Yang Sixu nodded hurriedly. He was in charge of the guarding of the inner palace recently, and was often made trembling by similar disturbances, because without His Highness's order, he couldn't use his skills, so he suffered a lot. .

Seeing Yang Sixua stepping back, Li Tong couldn't help sighing secretly.He did have the idea of ​​solving the problem once and for all, and he didn't even intend to bring the hidden danger back to Chang'an, so he deliberately parked the coffin of his fourth uncle in Xige City, and indulged the eunuchs' disturbance. On the way back to Beijing, Yue solved this problem together.

But he really couldn't hide this little thought from his grandma.His grandma might not be able to guess his specific plan, but it is obvious that parking his fourth uncle's coffin in the next city is not a reasonable arrangement in itself, so it can be deduced that he is already sharpening his sword.

Although he was pointed out by his grandma and promised not to do anything, Li Tong's mood relaxed instead.Before that, he thought the problems too complicated and always wanted to solve all the problems in one brain, but some problems were either deep-rooted or the timing was unprepared. If he wanted to solve them instantly, he would have to pay more.

So before that, he had been in a very strenuous state. He was not without worry, and always felt that he was walking a tightrope.His grandma's request is also an excuse for him to temporarily let go of the entanglements in his heart, just concentrate on dealing with the problems in front of him, and stop bringing forward the problems that he needs to face in the future.

After resolving a knot in his heart, he walked to the residence of his aunt Princess Taiping.The attendants inside and outside the side hall were quite alarmed when they saw the Yuan Si of Jian Guo coming. Mrs. Zhang, the nurse of Princess Taiping, hurried out and knocked on the left side of the road and said, "I don't know what your Highness Yuan Si wants to ask so far? Your Highness has already Undress and go to bed..."

"Go and report back, I will wait in the front hall for a while."

Li Tong also stopped after hearing the words, raised his hand and ordered.

Seeing this, Mrs. Zhang had no choice but to make another confession and then hurriedly got up and entered the hall.

Not long after Li Tong returned to the front hall and sat down, Princess Taiping walked into the hall slowly wearing a plain skirt and yawning. Although her makeup hadn't been removed yet, she looked sleepy and said, "Shenzhi, you haven't left yet? I already Go to sleep, why must this night..."

"Recently, I have been busy with foreign affairs, so I seldom ask about family affairs. I am worried that I will forget it tomorrow, so I can only disturb my aunt tonight."

Li Tong got up and stood by the side of the table, looked at his aunt and said with a smile, feeling that good looks do have an advantage, although his aunt's clumsy cover-up made him very unhappy, but at least she looked pleasing to the eye, and thought it was a bit cute.Of course, what he's going to say next has nothing to do with being cute.

Princess Taiping smiled helplessly after hearing the words, sat down at the table, not without spoiling, said: "Young years are getting farther, and you are paying more attention to health preservation, that is, you should be cautious. Come to see him at another late night. See if I ignore him! Say it!" ,whats the matter?"

"It's not a big deal, I just borrowed one from my aunt for use."

Hearing what Li Tong said, Princess Taiping's eyes lit up immediately, she leaned forward slightly and said, "Is it difficult to choose someone from the east of the river? Why don't you borrow someone from me? Now you are the heir of the Yuan Dynasty, and you will be in charge in October." Dali announced the order, which one of the people inside and outside is not your official? But if it is really about the east of the river, I do have a good candidate, that is Zhang Liangke from the Southern Province, who..."
