Fu Tang

Li Congjia's first reaction was: Don't do it, the influence will be bad.

However, Shi Xueting's expression was too serious and serious, and the people around him didn't seem to have any other thoughts, it felt like he was the only one thinking about it.

Li Congjia stood there, letting Shi Xueting take off his filial piety little by little, although it was not that Shi Xueting had helped him take off his clothes before, but at that time it was just the two of them alone, now... There is a circle of people watching, it's really exciting.

Li Congjia tried his best to keep a straight face, so as not to let the people around him see the clues. Fortunately, today's occasion is serious enough, otherwise the expression would be different from his previous ones.

Shi Xueting was very careful with his actions, gradually Li Congjia thought that he was really just here to help, so he relaxed, anyway, the obscene clothes inside would not be changed, but when Shi Xueting helped him untie his belt When the opportunity rubbed his waist, Li Congjia knew that this guy must have no good intentions.

Li Congjia snorted and looked at Shi Xueting dissatisfiedly. Shi Xueting raised his head and looked at him with a smile, brushing his crotch with his hands neither light nor heavy.

Li Congjia was so teased by him that he couldn't hold it back, and couldn't help but put on a little blush on his face.

Shi Xueting saw his eyes full of spring water and knew that he couldn't continue, otherwise something might happen, so he had to stop and help him put on the uniform, and when he was wearing the crown, he leaned into Li Congjia's ear and said He added: "Continue tonight."

In an instant, Li Congjia's waist was going to be weak, so he could only stare at Shi Xueting, then turned around and followed the supervisor of the Rites to go out to continue the grand meeting.

Yes, on the day of enthronement, there will be a symbolic grand court meeting, which means establishing the distinction between monarch and minister, and then there will be banquets and so on.

It can only be said that the big guy has caught up with the good time. If Li Jing died and Li Congjia succeeded, there would be no music and banquets. After all, there is a national funeral, and many things have to be subtracted. All the steps that can be done in this kind of classics are done.

As soon as Li Congjia went out, he heard a slight exclamation, and before he could react, he heard Shi Xueting say: "Your Majesty, it's Tianhong."

Rainbow?Isn't it just a rainbow?Why are you all so surprised?

Li Congjia looked up in surprise, but he was also stunned there. The rainbow in the sky is actually a rainbow cloud. The whole cloud is like a dragon flying in the sky, and the surrounding of the cloud forms a rainbow spectacle. It looks really beautiful. .

For Li Congjia, this was nothing more than a miraculous natural phenomenon, but for others, such a miraculous sight on this day is enough to write about.

Shi Xueting said bluntly: "The destiny is where it belongs."

After he finished speaking, he glanced at Li Congjia, his mood... a bit complicated, he had asked Li Congjia before when he was discussing the enthronement ceremony, if he wanted to perform a little miracle, ahem, yes, Shi Xueting has been there all along After researching this, he felt that Li Congjia had a lot of mythology, and if he packaged it well, he might be comparable to the existence of the Three Emperors and Five Emperors.

However, this suggestion was rejected by Li Congjiayi. He doesn't need this kind of pretending to be a ghost. After all, later generations often meet emperors who like to pretend to be ghosts. .

And this is about to ascend the throne. He is a country that he has conquered bit by bit, and his position is extremely stable. How can he need such things to increase his bargaining chips?

It's not easy to operate, don't don't.

Unexpectedly, a strange natural phenomenon actually appeared.

The supervisor next to him was reminding in a low voice: "Your Majesty, the auspicious time is coming soon."

Li Congjia withdrew his gaze and stood calmly on the city wall of the imperial city, announcing that the new emperor had enthroned and pardoned the world, and then changed the yuan to Yuanxi, which was the first year of Yuanxi.

Of course, the amnesty is also divided into people. There is a death row prisoner who is not within the scope of the amnesty. After standing on the city wall to accept the people's pilgrimage, Li Congjia went down the city wall and returned to the Xuanzheng Hall.

This time I'm going back to hold the Grand Court Meeting.

Li Congjia walked all the way to the throne. Although he also sat in a high position before, the palaces of the Western Regions, the Jiuhua Palace and the Daming Palace are all incomparable. Others probably like the feeling of being high and overlooking all living beings. However, after Li Congjia sat up , but with strong anxiety.

He finally understood why he had been resisting the ascension to the throne. Before he ascended the throne, he and his ministers could still be said to be colleagues. After ascending the throne, the superiority and inferiority were obvious. Li Congjia suddenly felt very lonely.

But he glanced at the side, Li Zhongyu was standing on his left, and Shi Xueting was standing on his right, which made him feel much better.

In fact, the first day of the Grand Court Meeting was not a big deal, it was basically symbolic, and the good news was not reported, and the bad news could not be picked on this day.

After the court meeting, Li Congjia had to go back and change a set of clothes. After all, he couldn't wear this uniform for the evening banquet, otherwise he wouldn't even think about eating.

The banquet at night reminded Li Congjia inexplicably of the time when he was in the Southern Tang Dynasty. At that time, every time Li Jing or Li Jingsui held a banquet, the number of people might not be as good as it is now, but the delicacy of the food is not inferior to this time.

However, this was his enthronement ceremony, and it was just an ordinary banquet for Li Jing and the others. Li Congjia couldn't help feeling that even if Jiangnan was rich, it couldn't afford such extravagance.

At the banquet, Li Congjia rarely drank a little too much. In fact, not only him, but also other people drank a lot. Everyone knows that Li Congjia has taken the position. Next, he will put the queen prince in the right place, and then he will give his father and grandfather the title. The next step is to give everyone Dividends.

No matter how you can't be promoted, basically everyone present can get the title, even if they can't get the title, there will be dismissed officials, everyone is very happy.

After going back at night, Li Congjia returned to Zichen Palace with a little drunkenness. Half drunk and half awake, he felt that someone was untying his belt. When he looked up and saw Shi Xueting, he suddenly became jittery, and he was a little sober from the wine.

Li Congjia held Shi Xueting's hand and said in a low voice, "I will go to court next year."

Today's grand court meeting is just a formality, tomorrow will be the official grand court meeting, and he has to announce various decrees, no matter what, he can't make any mistakes, at least not tonight.

Originally, Shi Xueting didn't think too much about it, but just stopped by to see how Li Congjia was doing, if he was really drunk, I'm afraid he would have to drink a bowl of hangover soup, otherwise he would have a headache when he wakes up tomorrow morning.

As a result, when he heard Li Congjia's soft tone with a slight nasal sound, coupled with the fact that he unconsciously looked at him with hazy and moist eyes, Shi Xueting felt that the wine he drank tonight seemed to turn into a fire that swept his whole body .

Shi Xueting took a deep breath and said: "Then I'll go first, you wait and remember to drink sober soup."

After Shi Xueting finished speaking, he turned around and left. He was very straightforward, even if he was not straightforward, he also drank tonight, what if he couldn't hold it?

Li Congjia didn't expect Shi Xueting to be so talkative today, stood on the spot, tilted his head and blinked his eyes a few times, and after realizing that Shi Xueting had really left, he frowned and muttered: "I'm really gone."

Then... Then with the help of Chunsheng and Taofu, he took off his clothes and fell asleep in a blink of an eye.

At the next day's court meeting, Li Congjia once again went into battle in a full suit, and went directly to the court in a uniform, and then distributed cakes to everyone, which surprised everyone. They thought they would have to wait for the canonization of the queen and prince After the ceremony.

However, Li Congjia felt that he was already the emperor, and that the emperor's uncle and elder brother were still the princes of the state, which was inappropriate. The canonization ceremony of the empress and prince would take some time, and it would not be appropriate not to promote these people during this period of time. good.

Fortunately, the territory is considered large now. Li Congjia directly named Li Hongji the king of Shu, Li Jingda the king of Chu, Zhao Kuangyin the Duke of Qin, and Zhou Zong the Duke of Deng.

The rest is that each has a scattered official position. For such a result, everyone has long been aware of it, and it is not incomprehensible. Li Congjia has always been very strict about the title. It can be hereditary, and this is in the later emperors, so apart from the Li family, the rest are meritorious ministers, and even ordinary meritorious ministers are useless.

And those who have not been knighted have no way to complain, because the few people who led the troops to conquer the world already have titles, two princes and one Duke, the first assistant was also named Duke, and the remaining second assistants, Xiao Yan was named Marquis, but he has already served as an official and is not hereditary, it doesn't matter if he has this title or not.

From this point of view, Li Congjia's rewards came from various relationships. His uncle and brother were princes, and his father-in-law and in-laws were princes.

Of course, this does not mean that no one will get the title in the future, but there must be matching meritorious service. However, the Northern Zhou Dynasty is almost done. Next, only the Southern Zhou Dynasty and Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures are left if they want to rely on military merit to become a Marquis.

In comparison, the Southern Zhou Dynasty was more difficult than the Yanyun Sixteen States. After all, few people were familiar with water warfare.

When everyone had different thoughts, Li Congjia did another thing quietly: he confirmed the status of Guangmingjiao, that is to say, Guangmingjiao will be a sect certified by the imperial court in the future, and its preaching will not be subject to any restrictions.

Li Congjia's amazing move made everyone a little confused, but it's not surprising when you think about it. Shi Xueting's meritorious service is obvious to all. It would not necessarily fall into the current chaotic situation.

But he is already a national teacher, Li Congjia can ascend the throne, and other ministers can confer rewards. Only he can't mention it. At most, he can add a title, but such a title has no real meaning except that it sounds nice.

If Li Congjia was afraid of Shi Xueting, he would just give him a title, but no, he has a good relationship with Shi Xueting, so he directly certified the Guangming Sect, which was regarded as a reward for Shi Xueting.

Shi Xueting did not refuse this time, and stood up to accept it calmly. The cabinet immediately began to worry about what would happen if Guangming Cult became the second Shaolin Temple in the future?

After conferring the reward, it was time to deal with some routine matters. Li Congjia asked, "I sent someone to contact Pang Qian before. Is there any news now?"

Han Yu looked around and found that the bosses were all looking at him, so he stood up and said, "Return to Your Majesty, Pang Qian seems a little hesitant."

Li Congjia sneered: "It's this time, he must take refuge in one side, otherwise neither Datang nor Khitan would be able to keep him."

Han Yu didn't speak, Li Congjia thought for a while and said, "Now the north is not very safe, so let's make contact first. If Pang Qian still doesn't respond, then prepare to send troops."

Tian Wen, who was reassigned to the position of Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, stood up and asked: "Your Majesty, the treasury is not well-off recently. Do you want to rest for a year or two before plotting the land of Yanyun?"

Li Congjia said in a deep voice: "We are also recuperating when Khitan is recuperating. Yeluxian seems to be much smarter than Yelujing. Now Yeluxian has not completely established a foothold in Khitan. When he has completely mastered Khitan, at that time want to If you take it back, you will have to pay a much higher price than now."

Tian Wen didn't continue to speak. He is now inferior to Li Congjia in this respect, or he knows it more or less. However, he is very worried that the national treasury is not empty now, but if it is really empty, the operation of the entire country will be affected. There may be problems, when the time comes...

Li Congjia asked: "Will the current national funds be able to last until after the autumn harvest?"

After making some calculations in his mind, Tian Wen said, "This year is a good year. If we send troops after the autumn harvest, food and grass may not be a big problem."

Li Congjia stroked his chin and thought for a while and said, "If you can't do it, go buy grain. Khotan Southern Zhou and even Khitan can be used as trading partners, and the west of Khotan is not too bad. You can figure it out."

He has limited energy, and it is impossible to observe everything. He can only give instructions and let his subordinates do it.

But now it can only be like this, because Li Congjia saved a lot of money from the grand ceremony before, otherwise I am afraid that he would not even have the capital of the caravan.

There was basically nothing else important to do when the grand court was held here, Li Congjia simply ebbed - he rushed back to change this uniform.

Today is a bit hotter than yesterday, wearing so many layers, but still black is very heat-absorbing, it can't be more painful.

Li Congjia went straight to the bath hall, but when he got there, he found that Shi Xueting was already waiting here.

Li Congjia was very surprised: "Why are you faster than me?"

Shi Xueting chuckled and said: "You still have to explain to the Sixth Ministry of the Cabinet. I don't need it, so I came here earlier. That's fine, you all go down."

Shi Xueting said the second half of the sentence to Chunsheng and Taofu. Chunsheng and Taofu looked at each other, bowed and backed out.

Li Congjia watched Shi Xueting come over and said with a smile: "You drove them away, who will help me take off my clothes, this clothes are super hard to take off."

Shi Xueting picked his chin and said, "Isn't there still me? Come on, Your Majesty."

Li Congjia didn't feel anything, smiled and opened his arms and said, "National Teacher, please."

Shi Xueting's eyes sank, and slowly began to take off Li Congjia's clothes layer by layer.

Li Congjia didn't feel anything at first, but when Shi Xueting deliberately brushed against his neck and waist from time to time, he sensed something was wrong. When he saw Shi Xueting's bright black eyes, his whole body suddenly They all became a little nervous: "Then what... Take a bath first, don't mess around."

Shi Xueting untied his belt, and smiled a little ambiguously: "Why can't you mess around in the shower?"

Li Congjia swallowed, and really wanted to grab the clothes on his chest and turn around and run, but if he did, he would probably become the talk of the entire Chang'an City the next day.

Li Congjia put down his arms, took two steps back and said, "I've been very tired these two days."

Shi Xueting said calmly: "That's just right, I will give you a good massage to help you relax your muscles and bones."

If you really press it, it will completely relax your muscles and bones—I'm afraid it will stretch your head too much.

Li Congjia grabbed the only obscene clothes and said, "No, no, not here."

In the past, the bathing hall was not at the same level as the bathing hall of Daming Palace. The place was too empty, and even he could hear some echoes when he spoke to Shi Xueting. In this case, Li Congjia would feel a sense of frustration The feeling of people listening to the corner is really hard to let go.

Shi Xueting leaned into Li Congjia's ear and said, "Last night you said there would be a court meeting today, so I let you go, but there will be no court meeting tomorrow."

Li Congjia was startled: "What? It's only noon now, how long are you going to toss around?"

Shi Xueting just laughed and said nothing, Li Congjia took two steps back and began to think about not taking this bath, otherwise he might die before he finished taking the bath.

Seeing his expression, Shi Xueting knew what he was thinking, and couldn't help asking: "Can you take it off?"

Li Congjia stared at him, and before he could say a word, Shi Xueting, who had exhausted his patience, picked him up and walked towards the pool.

Li Congjia hugged Shi Xueting's neck and whispered, "Don't go too far."

Shi Xueting wisely didn't tell the truth - sometimes it's uncontrollable to go too far.

Later, Li Congjia realized how to play in the hot spring. It was simply too exciting. The feeling brought by the hot water was no worse than that of some props. Later, he even worried whether his cry would be heard. .

It took an hour and a half to take a bath, and when Li Congjia came out with limp hands and feet, he felt that he was still alive, and when he returned to Zichen Palace, he was dragged into bed by Shi Xueting again. Xue Ting actually spread his uniform under his body, and said that his skin was white, and after soaking, it was rosy, which was set off by the black uniform even more beautifully.

Li Congjia was frightened by his madness, and began to wonder if Shi Xueting was a subdued with hidden attributes.

Anyway, on the second day, Li Congjia was lying on the bed thinking about whether he would also take a leave of absence for tomorrow's Xiaochao meeting—feeling that his whole body was about to be crippled.

Satisfied with Shi Xueting's special taste, he surrounded Li Congjia and showed all kinds of courtesies, from eating to cleaning himself without pretending to be other people's hands, so that both Chunsheng and Taofu wondered if they were about to lose their jobs.

After Li Congjia breathed a sigh of relief, Pang Qian responded—Pang Qian said that he could submit to the Tang Dynasty, but he asked to become the governor of Yanyun Zhuzhou.

Li Congjia laughed as soon as he heard it. Pang Qian really dared to think about it. Datang’s consistent habit is to never leave any generals on the original land. After seeing Zhao Kuangyin’s attachment, he never went to Xiazhou and other places. , although those places are not very good, neither he nor anyone else from the Zhao family can become the main official in that land.

Pang Qian is even more impossible, otherwise Yanyun Shizhou may appear to be surrendered to Datang, but in fact it is still under the control of Pang Qian. It will rebel, and if it doesn't work after rebellion, then surrender again, and then negotiate conditions.

Those tribes in Khitan have used this method before, and Pang Qian's situation is actually not much different from those tribes.

However, it is impossible for Li Congjia to agree to his request. He demanded that all the lands he conquered belong to the Tang Dynasty completely and cannot be influenced by anyone. Don't think of it as your own, he doesn't object, he is so domineering, so what?

Since Pang Qian made this request, in Li Congjia's view, the other party was insincere, so what's the point?let's hit.

Pang Qian also thought that Datang might not agree to his request, but he made this request with the mentality that if it can be achieved, it can't be achieved, and it is good to delay the time anyway.

However, he didn't expect Li Congjia to be so decisive. He said that he disagreed, and then sent General Gao Huaide to lead the troops and pretended to attack.

Pang Qian was very shocked at the time, and he was also a little envious. He knew that his shortcoming was the lack of decisiveness, and the most enviable thing about Li Congjia was that he thought he should do what he could do, so he did it decisively. Not indecisive.

After being envious and jealous, Pang Qian hurriedly contacted the former Northern Zhou officials he knew.

His idea is very simple, that is to mess up the internal affairs of Datang. He feels that although Li Congjia is very decisive, he does not see things comprehensively enough. A little bit of control, instead of blindly sending troops to attack other countries before gaining a firm foothold.

In fact, how could Li Congjia not have thought of this?He also has his own plan, and this plan will definitely surprise Pang Qian,

However, Pang Qian, who was proud of himself, was not surprised at all, he only felt that he was frightened!

The author has something to say: Shi Xueting: Just come and put on the cloak.

Li Congjia: Refused!

Shi Xueting: Put it on, this dress looks really good on you.

Li Congjia: But if you let me only wear a cloak, it is very problematic!

Shi Xueting: Well, it’s more exciting to do.

Li Congjia: ...
