"There is no need to stay with me. My safety is protected by the imperial army! You are also the governor of a state and you are busy with government affairs. I don't want the entire Bingzhou to be in chaos because of you! I am responsible for this crime. Can’t afford it!”
At the Taiyuan Posthouse, Li Tai hesitated for a moment. After all, he did not speak harshly to Wang Liaoyuan again, but still rejected Wang Liaoyuan's kindness. After all, Wang Liaoyuan was the highest chief executive of the entire Bingzhou and asked him to stay with him twelve hours a day. , simply unrealistic!
Hearing that Li Tai's tone had softened, Wang Liaoyuan couldn't help but secretly breathed a sigh of relief. At this time, he looked at Dugu Xin on the bed and couldn't help asking: "May I ask how General Dugu is injured? Do you need me to ask for help in the city?" Famous doctor treats~?”
"Haha! There's no need for this! Although General Dugu is seriously injured, Mr. Gongsun is here and he can definitely avert the danger~!"
Li Tai smiled lightly and said.
After seeing Gongsun Liang's methods of healing and saving people, Li Tai couldn't help but trust the old man a little more. Although what Gongsun Liang said just now about the detoxification process was a bit shocking, the entire Taiyuan City now, I'm afraid, Only Gongsun Liang is slightly worthy of Li Tai's trust!
"Mr. Gongsun? Gongsun Liang?"
After hearing what Li Tai said, Wang Liaoyuan noticed Gongsun Liang sitting cross-legged and adjusting his breath.
As the governor of Bingzhou, Wang Liaoyuan certainly knew that there was such a powerful figure in Taiyuan City. At the same time, he had also heard about Gongsun Liang's weird temper and treatment rules - only sitting in the hall and not visiting the doctor. But now Gongsun Liang actually appeared in this post house. What's going on
Wang Liaoyuan's eyes couldn't help but flash a trace of doubt at this moment! But when he saw Wang Yu, who was stroking his beard and smiling without saying a word, the doubts in his eyes immediately dissipated, replaced by a look of relief!
"Since Mr. Gongsun takes action, General Dugu will definitely be able to avert danger!"
After being stunned for a moment, Wang Liaoyuan nodded.
"Master! The medicine is back~!"
At this moment, Dugu Feiying and Gongsun Liang's little medicine boy pushed the door in from outside. The little medicine boy held several large and small oil paper bags and said to Gongsun Liang, who was sitting cross-legged on the couch.
Gongsun Liang suddenly opened his eyes and ordered: "Take it to the kitchen immediately, Xiaobao, you can decoct the medicine yourself, first use martial fire to cook for a quarter of an hour, then slow cook for two quarters of an hour, and then bring it over to feed the general! "
"Yes! Master~!"
The little medicine boy took the order naturally.
Dugu Feiying hurriedly said: "Let's go! I'll take you to the kitchen of the post house!"
… … … … … … … …
"Your Majesty, look, today's headlines in Datang Daily look very interesting!"
After the morning court, Li Er, who had just finished dealing with all the officials in the court, came to the Lizheng Hall in the West Garden of the Imperial Palace, rubbing his brows and feeling tired. When Empress Changsun saw Li Er coming, she first bowed and then asked the maid to come. She took the newspaper she had just read, handed it to Li Er and said with a smile.
She also saw Li Er looking tired and wanted Li Er to read the newspaper and relax.
"Oh? What news? Let me take a look!"
Hearing what Empress Changsun said, Li Er really became interested. He sat on the couch, reached out to take the newspaper handed over by Empress Changsun, and glanced at the eye-catching headlines on the front page of the newspaper -
"The cutest person? Li Yu? Is this girl writing the news again?"
After seeing the news title and the author of the news, Li Er couldn't help but murmured in a low voice.
Since the opening time of "Datang Daily" in Chang'an City every day almost coincides with the time of the morning court, neither the emperor Li Er nor the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty can read the latest issue before the morning court. "Datang Daily", they can usually only read it after the morning session!
In addition, Li Er was very impressed with Li Yu, not only because he once personally named Li Yu a gold medal reporter of "Datang Daily", but also not only because there were news written by Li Yu in almost every issue of "Datang Daily" , the most important thing is that after the victory in the Battle of Guancheng, Li Yu entered the palace to receive the reward. At that time, Li Yu gave Li Er a very familiar feeling, and Li Er has never forgotten it!
Empress Changsun smiled at this time and said: "Yes! It was written by Li Yu! This girl is very smart and spiritual~!"
Li Er smiled and said nothing. His attention was already immersed in the news written by Li Yu.
"When the country is in trouble, with a call, countless farmers who are busy in the fields put down their hoes, sons say goodbye to their fathers, husbands say goodbye to their wives, fathers leave their children, resolutely put on their simple armors, and carry them without using them for a long time. There is no rust in the Mo Dao, so you get on your horse and embark on a journey where life or death is uncertain! They sacrifice their lives to go to the national disaster and regard death as a sudden return. They are the most lovable people;
The country was in trouble, and with a call, countless businessmen who were regarded by the world as profit-seeking and unscrupulous merchants came from all directions and gathered together to donate generously to raise military supplies for the country. In just one day, 428,500 military supplies were raised! On weekdays, they do not eat the royal salary and are looked down upon by the world. But at critical times, they sacrifice their lives for justice and share the country's worries. They are also the most lovable people... "
After reading these two paragraphs, the Iron-Blooded Emperor Li Er couldn't help but feel slightly moved. In his mind, he couldn't help but picture the soldiers from all over the Tang Dynasty bidding farewell to their families and setting off to Chang'an for training without hesitation, as well as the fundraising meeting. , the scene of businessmen from all walks of life vying to donate money and raise military supplies for the country!
For a moment, Li Er couldn't help but be silent!
Nowadays, in the entire Tang Dynasty, it can be said that no one understands the importance of people's hearts better than Li Er. Especially when Li Zexuan incited the people to break into the Cui family's house in Chang'an City and tied himself up in the Dali Temple prison cell, he once said to Li Er "A king is like a boat; a common man is like water. Water can carry a boat, but it can also capsize it." These words made Li Er's understanding of the people's hearts even further!
Li Er knew in his heart that if his throne was to be stable and the Tang Dynasty wanted to prosper, he must win the hearts and minds of the people!
Now, after seeing this news in the "Datang Daily" and seeing that countless people of the Tang Dynasty are silently contributing to this country without any complaints, how can Li Er's heart not be touched
"What a sweetest person!"
After a long silence, Li Er finally couldn't help but sigh: "I am really lucky to have so many lovely people under my rule~!"
Empress Changsun smiled softly and said: "Your Majesty, this is what the people want! You don't know, I heard that today's "Datang Daily" caused quite a stir in Chang'an City. Many people are worried about missing yesterday's news. It’s a pity for the fundraiser!
Now, not only the officials in the court are united with Your Majesty, but also all the people in the world are working together with Your Majesty. Your Majesty's people's wishes are what your Majesty's people want, and now the court is no longer short of money. In the war with the Turks, I believe that the Tang Dynasty will be able to win. Of! I congratulate Your Majesty in advance~! "
Having said this, Queen Changsun stood up and bowed to Li Er Yingying.
These words can be said to have touched the heart of Li Er. Li Er couldn't help but said with great joy: "Haha! Then I will use the Queen's good words to wish my soldiers of the Tang Dynasty a victory in the national war in two months." ,Triumphant return!"
At this moment, no matter how powerful the Turks were and how many soldiers and horses they had, they still could not stop the overwhelming pride in Li Er's heart, because Li Er had grasped the hearts of the people, and whoever wins the hearts of the people will win the world!
"By the way! Your Majesty! Counting the time, Qingque should have arrived in Taiyuan yesterday! I wonder how the child is doing there?"
The couple talked to each other for a while, and Empress Changsun suddenly thought of her son hundreds of miles away. A hint of worry appeared in her eyes, and she sighed to Li Er.
By the way, Queen Changsun has never forgotten the nightmare she had about Li Tai being arrested. That dream was too real and made her worry about Li Tai's safety all the time!
"Haha~! Maid Guanyin is at ease! As long as Qingque and the others enter Taiyuan City, they will be safe for the time being! Not to mention that around Qingque, there are a thousand elite Beiya Forbidden Army, the Bingzhou Zhechong Mansion Camp in Taiyuan City, and more There are tens of thousands of troops, and Qingque will definitely be fine in Taiyuan City~!"
Seeing Empress Changsun's worried face, Li Er took the latter into his arms and comforted her with a smile.
But even Li Er didn't expect that his words were too arbitrary, and not long after, he was slapped in the face!
"...But I still can't help but feel a little worried~!"
Empress Changsun said uneasily.
As the saying goes, the mother is worried when her son travels thousands of miles. This is the true portrayal of Empress Changsun's heart at this time!
"Well! In that case, I will ask the people from the Qintian Prison to send a telegram to Qingque in a moment and ask him how the situation is over there. As soon as he gets news from there, I will immediately send someone over to inform you, how about~ ?”
In the end, Li Er did not disappoint Queen Changsun. He followed the latter's wishes and said.
The Qintian Prison was originally used for observing astronomical phenomena. Not long ago, it had another purpose, that is, sending telegrams! There are not only the latest telegraph machines, but also "telegraph operators" who have been trained to send and translate telegrams!
"Thank you so much, Your Majesty~!"
After hearing this, Empress Changsun was very satisfied and thanked her.
Li Er patted Empress Changsun's arm and said with a faint smile: "Okay! It's time for me to go back to Ganlu Hall to review the memorial. I'll come back to accompany you later~!"
Although they have been married for many years, they have always been as loving as ever. This has not changed even after Li Er became the emperor! They are simply a veritable "model couple" of the Tang Dynasty!
"State affairs are important, your Majesty, please go ahead!"
Queen Changsun nodded and said.
Li Er then stood up and went out.
As for asking the Qintian Prison to send a telegram to Li Tai, he did not need to explain it personally. Zhao Song, who was waiting on the side just now, would naturally help him convey the message to the Qintian Prison!
… … … … … … … …
At the same time, this morning, Li Er decided to award the more than 700 businessmen who participated in the fund-raising meeting yesterday in the form of announcements posted on the streets and alleys of Chang'an City and various counties around Chang'an City.
The common people, who had paid a lot of attention to the fund-raising meeting in recent days, were crowding in front of the court notice and talking about it.
"Tsk tsk! Is this notice a reward notice from the imperial court to the businessmen who participated in the fund-raising meeting yesterday?"
"Isn't that right? Look at this. Your Majesty ordered the "Datang Daily" to write a special article praising this matter. The people of the entire Tang Dynasty can all read it. Tsk tsk, those people who participated in the fund-raising meeting yesterday, Now you are famous all over the world~!"
"What they paid was real money and silver. Look at the Marquis of Yong'an and the people from the Yanhuang Chamber of Commerce. They each donated tens of thousands of coins and received awards from the court. Isn't that what they should be?"
"Oh! If I had known this, I would have gone to the fund-raising meeting yesterday even if I didn't say anything! Not only would I be able to become famous all over the world, but I would also get real money and silver benefits! Look, this notice also says: The businessman who donated money yesterday , they can receive the same amount of tax exemption this year, which means that how much they donated yesterday will be used to deduct this year’s business tax in the future!”
"Hey~! Is there such a good thing? Doesn't that mean that those businessmen who donated money have not lost much money?"
The common people quickly noticed this content on the notice, and suddenly someone, a certain businessman to be precise, felt a little unbalanced in his heart.
"How much business tax will be exempted for how much money you donate? Doesn't it mean that you didn't donate any money at all? And you can still get a good name?"
"That's right! This is so unfair! Could it be that the Yanhuang Chamber of Commerce already knew that His Majesty would award such a reward, so why did Marquis Yong'an, Lin Wenyuan, and Cao Wendong donate so actively?"
As soon as this statement came out, it immediately aroused public outrage.
"Fuck you! Who can figure out the holy will? How could the people from the Yanhuang Chamber of Commerce predict how His Majesty will reward you before donating money?"
"That's right! You are talking nonsense! Moreover, the members of the Yanhuang Chamber of Commerce have each donated tens of thousands of dollars. According to Datang's business tax collection ratio, they will not be able to deduct so much business tax this year!"
"Also, don't forget! Most of the properties of these members of the Yanhuang Chamber of Commerce are in Lantian County, and Lantian County is the fiefdom of the Marquis, so it may not necessarily implement your Majesty's commercial tax deduction policy!"
"I think people like you just don't like seeing good things from others! When you are asked to donate money, you are reluctant to give it up. When you see others getting benefits after donating money, you are jealous~!"
"That's right! That's right! A villain like you deserves to be beaten~!"
"Hit! Beat this bastard to death~!"
Soon, the crowd became a mess.
It has to be said that under the influence of the "Datang Dictionary", many people can read. Once they can read, people's wisdom will be opened, and people will become more and more sensible! Today's people in the Tang Dynasty can still distinguish basic rights and wrongs, and will not easily listen to what others say!
Of course, the most important thing is that those businessmen are slandering Li Zexuan, the Marquis of Yong'an who is respected by thousands of people. This can easily arouse public outrage!
