Crown Tang emperor

After pondering for a while, Li Tong confided some of his thoughts to the accompanying officials. After hearing that the saint did not intend to continue the war, everyone could see that they were obviously relieved.

People's positions are different, and their thoughts and thoughts are naturally different.What the frontline soldiers felt was the gold and iron horses, the great military exploits, and they were full of the idea that it is appropriate to chase the poor with the remaining bravery.However, the ministers in the rear had to consider that the investment in logistics was related to people's livelihood. Just seeing that Liu Youqiu's beard was almost cut off, it can be seen that he was under great pressure during this period.

At this stage of the war, in addition to the previous fundraising, most of the grain depots in the Longbian states have been exhausted, and even a considerable part of the savings for famine and disaster preparation has been embezzled.And now there are still a few months before the autumn grain enters the warehouse, and there are already huge unstable factors in the people's livelihood in Longbian.

Therefore, all the ministers echoed the sage's idea that enough is enough, thinking that this is the best way.

Therefore, Li Tong wrote down his order: the front line of Jiyu City will not continue to advance, and except for a left-behind army, the rest of the army, including the servants of the Hu tribe, will withdraw in sequence.

Although the frontal battlefield will not continue to advance, Li Tong does not intend to let go of the opportunity of the defeat of the Fan army.He then ordered that Cao Ren's troops in Longnan enter Xishan to search for and escort the Xikang monks who had been expelled by the aboriginals back to Xikang. At that time, he sent troops directly to help these monks recover Xikang City.

Although there are more than [-] Tibetan troops stationed in Xikang right now, they are all from the south of the mountain. With the defeat of the Fan army on the frontal battlefield and the return of the Fan lord, these troops will certainly not be stationed in Xikang for a long time.

Datang is able to seize the destruction of the local people's livelihood in Xikang by these people, strengthen the propaganda and penetration of Buddhism among the lower-level people in Xikang, and at the same time stimulate their spirit of resistance, and make a deeper break with Tubo.

At the same time, Li Tong appointed his elder brother Li Guangshun, who had been sent to central Shu, as the chief protector of Annan, Li Yang as the deputy protector of Annan, and marched to southern Yunnan with troops from Shannan.On the other side, the southern barbarians often jumped back and forth between Tang and Tibet, and now they can take advantage of Tubo's overwhelmed time to teach them a painful lesson.

Chapter 0955 Saint Wan Sheng, Chang'an boiling

In Chang'an City in midsummer, the climate became hot and dry again.This hotness not only comes from the physical feelings of the people in Chang'an City, but also mixed with a deep emotional anxiety.

At the beginning of the year, the sage ordered the westward expedition, and many young and middle-aged men in Chang'an City enlisted in the army, and Jingbian athletes followed the sage to Qinghai.A large number of young and middle-aged people were taken out of the battle, and a group of main players who liked to chase the excitement were missing, which made the living atmosphere in the market deserted.

Even if there are still many young people who have not been selected for Jingbian, when their peers have already followed the holy car and played for the country, these young people who remain are embarrassed to indulge in drama.

The imperial court's majestic conquest made young people with full of will flock to it, lest they fall behind.But those soldiers and Jingbian athletes each have their parents and family members. Compared with the passionate ambition of young people to make contributions, they still hope that their children can live a stable life.

The imperial army set off in early spring and February, and in the blink of an eye, the season came to midsummer. In the past six months, the families of the athletes who set off for the expedition were all filled with an anxious atmosphere.

Although the Western Expeditionary Army has repeatedly sent good news of victory, there is still no definite date when the war will end and when Erlang will return home.Moreover, the battle reports sent back one after another will not involve specific casualties at all, and the families of the sergeants are always tense in their hearts.

In the past few months, the atmosphere among the people has been tense and dignified, and it is also not easy in the court.

It is not normal at any time that the helm of the huge empire does not stay at the core of the empire's power. The pressure on the left-behind officials is by no means less than that of the front-line war in Qinghai.

Especially after the sage left Beijing, the Empress Dowager came to listen to the government, which made Shiliu people subconsciously vigilant.After all, the empress dowager was by no means a benevolent elder who abided by the rules, and the turbulent situation before and after the Wu Zhou Dynasty was still vivid in my memory.No matter how deep the friendship between the sage and the empress dowager is, Shi Liu's vigilance and guard against the empress dowager will never let up.

In order to ensure the smooth operation of the government and eliminate all kinds of disturbances, the prime ministers also took great pains.

After the sage left Chang'an, the prime ministers compiled a strict list of duties. Each prime minister stayed in the Zhengshitang for a ten-day period, completely giving up the rest vacation, and no matter day or night, two prime ministers must stay straight at the same time, one in the east. Inner Daming Palace, one is in West Inner Taiji Palace, and it must be sent by messenger every other hour.

The prime ministers are already like this, and the chiefs of the divisions cannot relax. In addition to handling basic government affairs, there must be officials to stay straight every day.Once there is a deficiency in the inspection of the political affairs hall, it will be recorded in the book and left for the sage to return to Beijing for sanction.

In addition to the high spirits of the various government offices, Chang'an's military vigilance is also very strict.Although there is no distinction between the southern yamen and the northern yamen for the imperial guards in Beijing, there are still internal and external divisions.

Qi Wang Li Shouli sits at the Xuanwu Gate of the North City all day long, and all the anti-forbidden dispatches are unable to hear from the outside courts, but he reports to the Empress Dowager and the Empress every day.The generals of the Beijing camp headed straight to the palace hall of the imperial city, where they were responsible for guiding and patrolling the police.

The Empress Dowager still lives in the Longevity Palace every five days.Every morning and sun, four civil and military members of the third rank and above will welcome them outside the Longevity Palace and escort them to the Zichen Palace in the inner court.

When the Empress Dowager was in the hall to listen to the government, the queen also moved to the Yanying Hall in the West Hall to summon the wives of the officials.Li Daonu, the eldest son of the emperor, entered the Jiying Hall of China and North Korea, and a direct scholar opened the book to give lectures.

All kinds of personnel arrangements can be described as cumbersome and strict, revealing a dignified atmosphere.If ordinary people are in such an environment, even if they are not overwhelmed by the tremendous pressure, they may still feel resentful, and their mood will gradually become extreme. Maybe they will feel that the whole world is full of malice.

But whether it is the Empress Dowager or the left-behind prime ministers, they can be said to be mature political figures who have experienced ups and downs, and their views on affairs are naturally not limited to appearances.

From the point of view of the Empress Dowager, after the Shendu coup that year, it was no longer possible for her to step onto the stage of the power center of the Tang Dynasty from the front.All kinds of profound memories of the past have caused the world to label her almost as a demon.This kind of label will not only affect the life, but also profoundly affect the afterlife.

In such an atmosphere of the world, honestly, even the saint is a little powerless, no matter what kind of feelings he has for the Empress Dowager, sometimes he has to follow the world.

This time the Empress Dowager was able to listen to the government in front of the court, which was also contributed by the accumulation of various factors.The first is naturally the prestige accumulated by the sage after a series of events from the Shendu Revolution to the Yasukuni Rebellion. , Indeed, there is no more suitable candidate to supervise the country.

Important ministers of foreign courts such as Yao Yuanchong, the official experience in Wu Zhou Dynasty is an important part of their respective resumes, it is difficult to make a complete break up, so they also need to face the relationship with each other in a relatively positive way. End the past.

It is the survival wisdom that normal people will have by eating a ditch and gaining wisdom.In the political ecology, because the demands and desires of the people involved are too complex and strong, if you want to correct the detours you have taken, you will often fall into a vicious circle of excessive force and overcorrection, thus bringing new problems to the world. Injuries and hidden dangers.

The best way to get rid of fear is to face it head-on. When all the elements are still available, go through the past journey again, but this time you have to choose a more correct way.

To put it in a more popular way, everyone in the world thinks that the Empress Dowager has a strong desire for power and makes people hard to guard against. But after this time, the world will inevitably find out that this old lady is nothing. It's amazing, as long as there are the right people and the right method, she can be subdued and harmless again.

Therefore, the empress dowager's return to the court can also be said to be a scene performed by all participants to the world.

As long as this scene can be guaranteed to be performed stably, not to mention the impact it will have on the participants, it will also make the entire Kaiyuan political situation go on more steadily. Objective evaluation is no longer deliberate avoidance and extreme slander.

Of course, regardless of various personnel influences, the Empress Dowager is also very conscientious and qualified to attend the court this time.

With the efforts of the sages, although Datang got out of the haze of civil strife, it even resumed its foreign conquest.However, the current strategy of Datang’s overall rest and reorganization remains unchanged. After the sage’s personal conquest, there are still a large number of domestic affairs that need to be maintained and promoted in the DPRK and China to recuperate people’s livelihood and stimulate production and resource allocation.

Although the specific implementation of these affairs is in the department, the strength of the implementation and various accidents in the implementation need to be handled in a timely and proper manner. The Empress Dowager also played a very active role in this.

Although the situation in the Wu Zhou Dynasty was turbulent and the foreign wars were defeated one after another, the ruling ability of the Empress Dowager cannot be denied.Among other things, just getting rid of the old system of Guanzhong standard that has been pursued since the founding of the Tang Dynasty has made breakthrough progress in the ruling process of the Empress Dowager.

Although Guanzhong is Li Tang's prosperous land, but the Tang Dynasty wants to completely become a universal empire, and the strong regional color is always a limitation.Regarding this point, Emperor Taizong and Emperor Gaozong both had foresight, and each had their own management, but only the Empress Dowager had the strongest breakthrough.

To be honest, if it weren't for the empress dowager's continuous and strong suppression of the noble group of Guan Long, today's saints would hardly be able to rise, let alone aspire to the throne.I'm afraid that when the Shendu coup was dispatched to Xijing, they would be killed in Guanzhong by the nobles of Guanzhong and the North Korean forces.

As a woman and lack of military affairs, it is a major shortcoming of the empress dowager's ability.But now these two defects have been resolved, so that the Empress Dowager can concentrate on internal affairs, but she feels like a fish in water.

The state-owned levy will inevitably bring great harm to the people's livelihood, but under the supervision of the Empress Dowager, the remaining officials are doing their best, and various people's livelihood matters are developing in an orderly manner.

People from various states in the world were naturalized, and the number of registered households continued to increase, especially in Hedong and Hebei, which had suffered severe military disasters before, and related affairs were running more rapidly.Residents in Heluo and other places are also rapidly granting land. Many officials and people who came to Beijing from the Eastern Capital expressed their feelings that the fertile soil in the sky is orderly and orderly, and it is already quite prosperous.

The scale of the canal's water transport is also constantly expanding. Now the rice from the south of the Yangtze River has flooded the cities, which has greatly alleviated the shortage of food in Guanzhong due to the conquest.Compared with the same period last year, the delivery of various materials to Chang'an has increased significantly.

Although the overall framework of these internal affairs was planned when the sage was in Beijing, but now the sage is far away in Longyou, the internal and external implementation has not been slackened, and the top and bottom are running in an orderly manner. The supervision and scheduling of the empress dowager is also indispensable without.

Of course, the Empress Dowager also understands who is the real master of the empire. Although she is in charge of the government, her style of work has changed greatly, and she no longer exaggerates her own sense of existence and authority as before.

When she expresses concern about a certain matter, she usually reminds the prime minister to list the relevant matters at the front of the court's agenda, and hints the courtiers to make a choice by arranging the affairs before and after.If you are not satisfied with the progress of a certain matter, you will not directly express your opinion, but list it separately and record it in the memorial submitted to Longyou.

People's identities and situations are different, and the acquisition of satisfaction is also different.After arranging her position, the Empress Dowager lived a very fulfilling life every day, and the scenes of the courtiers worshiping in the morning and the sun were not as gratifying as the civil memorials from various places in Beijing.

Of course, the targeted adjustments in the affairs of the court are never due to a flash of inspiration, but because of the detailed understanding and sorting out of various things.Although the current court is once every five days, when the sun is not in the sun, the Empress Dowager often buries the scrolls in the Longevity Palace, constantly reviewing them, sometimes unknowingly busy until late at night.

"The affairs of the court are maintained by the princes of the foreign court. The empress dowager is already in her old age. If the saint knows that the empress dowager is so busy, I'm afraid he will regret it and ask Enqin..."

The Empress Dowager is so old, but she is still so tired every day, all the waiters in the Longevity Palace couldn't help admonishing her again and again.

Every time she heard such advice, the Empress Dowager would smile and say: "The national industry has suffered setbacks, and the sage planned to rejuvenate, so he did not hesitate to go to the battlefield in person. Since the old woman is entrusted to guard the house, of course she must handle the housework properly, even if she shares a little. Be an old and incompetent rice bug with peace of mind!"

The palace people's advice was fruitless, and they could only serve the Empress Dowager's diet and daily life more carefully.But it's strange to say that although the Empress Dowager is tired at her desk every day, she seems to be getting better and better physically and mentally.

In mid-June, the weather in Chang'an became hotter and hotter. Many aristocratic families in Beijing couldn't bear the dampness in the city, and went to other houses outside the city to escape the summer heat.And on Jingxi Avenue, there are still many people wandering around every day, looking forward to the news from Longyou.

On this day, not long after the sun rose, it began to unscrupulously scatter heat waves on the world. People came and went on Jingxi Avenue, and suddenly there was a cloud of smoke visible to the naked eye from far to near. At a glance, it could be seen that there were quite a number of galloping horses.

Seeing this scene, the people outside the city stretched their heads to look into the distance one after another, and some enthusiastic passers-by rushed to the Jinmingmen City Guards to shout for notification.

The smoke and dust came very fast, and while the people were still guessing, the source of the smoke and dust, hundreds of knights galloping on horses, had already appeared in the avenue.

The knights wore bright and light armor, with colorful flags on their backs, and leather drums and bronze gongs hanging on the side of their horses. While galloping their horses, they shouted loudly: "Mr. Triumph, tell the prefectures and counties to prepare wine and food, and reward the master Wang!"

The shouts came from far to near, the voices of the knights were slightly hoarse, and the mounts under their crotches were sweating profusely, but the excitement and enthusiasm that filled the whole body was still extremely contagious, instantly detonating the entire Jingxi Avenue!

"Master Wang is victorious! Saints are victorious! Mighty, mighty!"

Hearing the cries of the knights, the people of Jingxi Avenue also cheered, dancing and running to share the good news.

The emissary of Longyou Baojie came to Beijing, and the news was naturally spread to the palace immediately.

In the Longevity Palace, when the Empress Dowager heard the people in the palace happily entering the palace to announce the victory of Qinghai, she stayed in the banquet. After a while, she suddenly lowered her head and buried her face in front of her arms, crying It can't stop gushing out.In that cry, there was both excitement of weeping with joy, and it seemed to be venting something.

It was rare for the palace people to see the empress dowager so emotionally exposed. Seeing this scene, they hurried forward to appease the empress and sent someone to notify the empress.When the queen heard the news and rushed over, she stroked the empress dowager's shoulders and spoke warmly for a long time, the empress dowager's excited mood calmed down a little, and she kept showing a hearty and hearty smile.

The DPRK and China became lively because of the good news of the great victory in Qinghai. Prime Minister Yao Yuanchong and others immediately entered the palace to ask for instructions. Holy ride triumphant.

At the same time, Yao Yuanchong and others continued to stay in Beijing to prepare for various celebration ceremonies. The British Duke Li Chongfu went to Xianyang today to repair the tombs of the emperors and prepare for the saints to offer sacrifices to their ancestors.

The saint personally conquered Qinghai, and as the news spread, congratulatory forms from officials in Beijing and Zhuzhou counties also flew into the court like flakes.Although the Empress Dowager has not formally shirked the responsibility of facing the court, she also ordered these congratulatory forms to be sealed and kept in Yousi, and opened for reading after the sage returned to Beijing.

As for the congratulatory forms of some clan relatives, they were transferred to the Longevity Palace, and the Empress Dowager would read them first.

In this dry congratulatory form, the congratulatory form of Linzi King Li Longji attracted the attention of the Empress Dowager.In addition to some praises and rhetoric, the King of Linzi also said that he renovated the military music and planned to present it on the congratulatory gift for the saint's return to Beijing, and begged the Empress Dowager to allow him to go to the Beijing camp to select soldiers for rehearsal.

After the Empress Dowager finished reading this congratulatory form, her joyful mood was greatly damaged, and she was so ashamed that she directly returned the congratulatory form with a red pen, and said angrily: "Order the brothers of King Linzi to stay in the mansion. , Do not go out! The court ceremony is set up, and the secretary has his own plan. If you are not a ceremonial post, you are not allowed to make miscellaneous ceremonies!"

Seeing that the Empress Dowager was so angry, the palace officials did not dare to be negligent, and immediately went out of the palace to the residence of the Prince of Linzi to deliver the reprimand.

The Empress Dowager was angered by the King of Linzi, but after seeing Princess Taiping's letter, she felt a little sad again.At present, the news of Qinghai's great victory has not yet spread to Hedong, so Princess Taiping's entry is only a letter from home, and enters the palace together with the large Hedong grapes presented by the fast horse.

In the letter, Princess Taiping narrated her lovesickness, and there were many words of regret, saying that she lived alone in Hedong, and could not see her relatives, old and young, in Beijing, so lovesickness became sick, and she often worried about dying soon.

The words in this letter from home can be described as touching, and even the letter paper is somewhat uneven and curled, as if it has been wet by tears and then dried.But according to the empress dowager's understanding of this daughter, most of them were wet with clear water and pretended to be like this.

Although she was very disappointed with this daughter's misbehavior, the Empress Dowager was still reluctant to give up, and thought that not long ago the eldest princess Li Youniang had given birth to the Xue family. Somewhat pathetic.

After thinking for a while, the Empress Dowager finally said, "Go and ask the Empress, if the Empress agrees, let the Eldest Princess return to Beijing."

Chapter 0956 the sage bestowed on you, thank you

"The minister waits to welcome the holy driver!"

In late June, in Qizhou in the west of Beijing, Zhang Renyuan and other members saw the chariot of the sage approaching slowly, and bowed down on both sides of the road.

In addition to these ceremonial guards welcoming the driver, a large number of people gathered along the road. As soon as the imperial chariot appeared in sight, there was a burst of cheers like a tsunami, which lasted for a long time.

Li Tongduan sat in the chariot, watched the courtiers raise the brocade curtain to cover the wind and sand, looked at the cheering crowd on both sides of the official road and raised their hands to signal.

Although the soldiers of the Forbidden Army surrounded by the imperial chariot prevented the people from approaching, but when they saw that their cheers were echoed by the saint, the people immediately broke out with greater enthusiasm and cheered endlessly, even the teenagers in costumes The men sang and danced outside the imperial guards, and the scene was even more lively.

Similar scenes of joy, from the beginning of the sage's drive from Longyou to the entry into the customs, are constantly staged along the way.But no matter whether it is a sage or the accompanying kings and masters, none of them feel bored and enjoy this glory willingly.

It's no wonder that the emperors and the people of the Tang Dynasty were so overjoyed, it was because the whole Tang Dynasty had been looking forward to such a brilliant victory for too long.From the Zhenguan period, the Tang Dynasty launched a series of foreign wars. Until the Gaozong period, when the Goguryeo was conquered, the martial arts, national power and territory controlled by the Tang Dynasty reached a peak, and it was invincible in the universe.

But since then, Datang has fallen into a situation of prosperity and decline, especially the defeat in the battle with Tubo's Dafeichuan, which made the entire empire taste the bitter taste of defeat again.

The loss of Tuyuhun's vassal state, Longyou was directly harassed and threatened by Tubo soldiers, the four towns of Anxi fell several times, the war with Silla lasted for several years in the land of Sanhan, and the resurgence of the remnants of the subjugation of the Eastern Turks, etc. wait.

Border problems broke out one by one, and the situation in China was also not calm.After the emperor Bintian, the political situation of the upper echelon of the empire fell into a long-lasting turmoil, and even civil strife and military disasters occurred in the heart of the Central Plains.

It was clearly an invincible and powerful empire just a moment ago, but the situation has taken a sharp turn for the worse. Internal and external troubles have intensified, and it even gives people a sense of crisis that the country will not be able to survive.

The national power has taken a sharp turn for the worse, not to mention that the carnivores in power are worried, even ordinary Limin people cannot accept it.

Although it is said that the sage Yasukuni settled the chaos a few years ago and officially opened the Kaiyuan New Era, making the situation in the country gradually stable.But compared with Datang's past glory, these achievements are still not satisfactory.

In the past, the sea was too difficult for water, and the achievements of the predecessors were too brilliant. Compared with the two, it will inevitably make people feel a sense of loss and hesitation, and a more urgent desire to recover the wasted time and gloomy glory.

The power of belief is sometimes subtle and sometimes extremely powerful.Although since the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty, the imperial court has continued to implement policies and promote governance, but many people in the current situation have a feeling that the cloud lingering over the head of the Tang Dynasty has not dissipated.

This so-called cloud does not come from the external dangers of border affairs, nor from the internal political worries, but from the hearts of everyone in the world. The lack of belief and the laxity of the heart, the Tang Dynasty should not be the current This look, needs to get back to his rightful place!

The significance of this big victory in Qinghai lies not only in the defeat of such a powerful opponent, but also in the fact that the Tang Dynasty, which the people have recognized and expected, has finally returned!Datang should be fearless of any challenge, and rule the world, pointing at the point of the blade, turning all people against change!

Yijia went to the front of the welcoming team, Li Tong asked his courtiers to lead Zhang Renyuan and others to the side of the chariot, and said with a smile: "I have been away from Beijing for a few months, and the domestic government affairs are maintained. I will trouble you."

This personal expedition by the royal driver was an adventure for Li Tong, and it was also an important test for these officials of the Kaiyuan New Dynasty.Zhang Renyuan, as one of the left-behind members, did not stay in Chang'an. Instead, he was based in Luoyang, the eastern capital, and was always on guard against changes in all parties in the country. He was a safety valve of a higher level than the situation in Chang'an.

It is necessary to ensure that there is enough force to prepare for chaos, but also not to make the situation in the country become turbulent because of excessive tension. In the past few months, Zhang Renyuan has also been under tremendous pressure, and his hair has grown gray on his temples. .

When the news of Qinghai's great victory and the saint's imminent triumphant return came back to Chang'an, all kinds of contingency measures would naturally come to an end.The Chang'an imperial court specially recalled Zhang Renyuan to meet him, also in order to get the personnel arrangement of the middle school back on track as soon as possible.After all, Zhang Ren is willing to stay in the Eastern Capital, and the temporary power he holds is even more than that of the prime ministers in Beijing and even the empress dowager who is facing the court.

"The ministers are ashamed! The stubborn enemy has been screaming at the frontier for a long time, and the holy driver has personally labored to conquer them. The ministers are full of food and materials, but they are pushed to the top. They are second-class. They are responsible for everything. It is a matter of course, and they dare not claim credit for their achievements."

Zhang Ren wished to pay his respects in front of the chariot again, and then he said excitedly: "In the battle of Qinghai, the power of heaven poured in, the soldiers used their lives, and the emperor's grudges were quickly wiped away! The talents of the ministers are not stronger than the ancients, but the wise masters , what the ancients can't compare to, the king is powerful and his ministers are honored, the community is very fortunate, and the ministers are very fortunate!"

Hearing Zhang Renyuan's flattery, Li Tong couldn't help laughing again.Similar tones, Liu Youqiu had said it back in He Sheng's time in Shanzhou.The prime ministers all lowered their stances and said that it was no big deal. Only by following the wise and powerful saints can they share the credit for the rejuvenation of the country, which is also one of the impacts of the Qinghai campaign.

The prime ministers of the Tang Dynasty have always been very urinating, and they are by no means submissive domestic slaves. They have the ability to restrict and balance the monarchy.

Even if he is as powerful as his great-grandfather Li Shimin, he still needs to create an image of humbly accepting advice with Wei Zheng.In the period of his grandmother Wu Zetian, the contradictions and struggles between the emperor and the prime minister were more vividly reflected.

Although it is said that the prime minister is appointed by the emperor, the power of the prime minister does not only come from the granting of imperial power, but also a more important source is the system.The prime minister is the most powerful position in the bureaucratic system. When the emperor tramples on and encroaches on the dignity and authority of the prime minister unscrupulously, it destroys the entire system.

The prime ministers of the Kaiyuan New Dynasty also had their own styles. Even Liu Youqiu, who grew up with him in Qiandi, had his own way of doing things and persistence.

Li Tong himself is also a person with a strong personality. Although it is not necessary for the prime ministers to bow their heads to him completely and be a quiet respondent, there will inevitably be friction after getting along for a long time.

For example, Zhang Renyuan in front of him, he wanted to improve the relationship with his subordinates earlier, and invited Zhang Renyuan to the palace for dinner, but this guy didn't come, he wanted to stay in the political affairs hall to have dinner with his colleagues, and he didn't have time to talk to the emperor.

Such a trivial matter is not worthy of a big reprimand, but it's hard to avoid getting more and more angry when it's stuck in my heart.So now hearing Zhang Ren wishing to say that it was only because of the honor of a saint that he could become a famous minister of Zhongxing, Li Tong was also very happy.

Yijia stopped for a short while on the official road and then continued to travel. Li Tong invited Zhang Renyuan to go with him on the chariot, and asked him about the details of various domestic developments in the past few months since he left Beijing.

Hearing Zhang Renyuan's meticulous report in his ears, Li Tong's thoughts turned elsewhere. Seeing this guy's meticulous appearance and sitting posture, he felt bad, and beckoned the waiter to take out a food box from the cage on the side of the chariot Put it on the table.

"When the army broke through Jiyu City, the owner of the tribe had already fled. At that time, he left in a hurry. There was still warm meat and food in the urn, and the soldiers confiscated it and offered it. The thief took the food from his mouth. Although it was not precious, it was still worthy Rare. Zhang Qing is far away to welcome you, don’t come to XinMei, I’m really happy, I give this flavor, a little bit to satisfy the hunger, don’t be too polite.”

Li Tong opened the food box with a smile, and raised his hand to push it to Zhang Renyuan's side.

Zhang Renyuan was taken aback when he heard the words, he was really caught off guard by the saint, and after a while, he quickly prostrated himself on the side and bowed and said: "I thank the saint for giving me the meat, I dare not lose my manners and indulge in lust before the emperor, and I would like to serve the treasures to the guests and friends later. Honor your grace!"
