Bai Chun looked at the dimmed sky and the misty scenery outside the window. The palace lanterns had been lit one by one at this moment, dotting the night that was coming soon.
"Then why don't you let your servant accompany you?" Bai Chun blinked her beautiful eyes, and the dim living room still looked crystal clear.
"Who will take care of Taiyi City when you go? Besides, who can guarantee that after you leave, others will not covet the wealth of Taiyi City? You Qingdao Shu is not only protecting Taiyi City, but also my presence in Chang'an. With you here, I can be at ease in Anxi Four Towns, otherwise, no one knows what will happen here. Alas... everything is different." Finally, Li Hong said something that made Bai Chun confused.
Little did he know that Li Hong was lamenting that everything now began to slowly deviate from the trajectory of historical development and became confusing.
The queen mother joined forces with him to ensure his position as the crown prince of the East Palace. The queen mother also knew that her thoughts were on the position of Shangshu Ling of Shangshu Province, and she also spared no effort to help herself and create conditions for herself.
Thinking about it, the queen mother would not have any objection to going to the Western Regions.
"After Lawless's mission is completed, 'Jingwei' will merge with 'Mythology'. Lawless will need to go to the Fourth Town of Anxi earlier." Li Hong looked at Bai Chun's perfect cheeks and couldn't help but reach out and caress them gently, his expression Serious and focused, as if touching a peerless treasure.
Bai Chun closed her eyes gently and let Li Hong's rough hands caress her delicate cheeks.
"Well, I will take care of Jingwei. If you need anything, just tell Jingwei." Bai Chun slowly leaned forward, then threw himself into Li Hong's arms, hugging him tightly. Li Hong's waist.
Li Hong sniffed the fragrance of Bai Chun's hair, thought for a while and said: "I think it will take some time. During this time, you will need to use the Chamber of Commerce to purchase horses from Tubo by any means, including all the war materials that can be purchased. I will let you know in a moment. Xia Zhi will give you a detailed list, take a good look at it yourself, and be sure to use trustworthy and unobtrusive merchants. "
Bai Chun lay in his arms, saying nothing, just nodding silently.
Xia Zhi walked in slowly, took out a letter and handed it to Li Hong, saying, "Zong Sheng Palace has replied to you."
Li Hong hugged Bai Chun and walked to the sofa to sit down. Xia Zhi saw Bai Chun curled up in Li Hong's arms and was too lazy to get up. She was already used to it.
Li Hongtang tore open the envelope and saw that there was no writing on the white paper, but a hand drawn on it, making an OK gesture!
"Is this a letter from Li Chunfeng? Can you be more shameless?" Li Hong glanced at it and threw it to Xia Zhi.
This guy, at such an old age, doesn’t learn well, but he has learned to be okay with himself.
On the second day, at the gate of the East Palace, a skateboarder and a boy, oh, a boy carrying a backpack flew out from the gate of Jiafu like lightning. Behind them were Xia Zhi and Xiaoxue. The two of them used their light body skills and were also beaten by the prince. His Highness dropped a lot.
"Your Highness, please wait a moment, you forgot to tie the belt again." Xiaoxue shouted from behind as she looked at the palace gate with a beautiful drift and no one in sight from the entrance of Jiafu Gate.
Li Hong over-exercised this morning. He got angry when he thought about Dai Zhide. When he got angry, he exercised an extra stick of incense. Suddenly he remembered that he had to go to court today, so he hurriedly took a shower with Bai Chun waiting. After taking a bath, I hurried to Daming Palace without stopping.
The Danfeng Gate of the Daming Palace is probably the most majestic and magnificent palace gate in the world today, and the entire Daming Palace is naturally larger than the four Forbidden Cities.
This is enough to imagine that the Tang Dynasty is rich at the moment... Wrong, the Daming Palace was basically paid for by Li Hong alone. Therefore, it can be known that the wealthy people of the Tang Dynasty are as rich as the country, and there is no one else except His Highness the Crown Prince.
Of course, the Daming Palace did not let Li Zhi and Wu Mei pay. Now that they were both extremely wealthy, they began to think about increasing officials' salaries by about 30%.
Both the disciples and the secretary of the Central Committee passed it, but when it came to Li Hong, it was rejected. Therefore, as the minister of the Ministry of household affairs, this person naturally became the target of public criticism.
Naturally, the treatment for being late is no longer what it used to be. In the past, ministers turned a blind eye. Now, destroying a person's wealth is no less than killing his parents. Naturally, there are countless court officials who want to impeach him, but even so, Li Hong still refuses to let go.
Just kidding, I've raised your salary, how can we implement the recruitment and compulsory military system throughout the Tang Dynasty in the future
Danfeng Gate has as many as five doorways, and each doorway can naturally allow two or even three carriages to pass through in parallel. The sound of skateboards reached the ears of the Danfeng Gate soldiers from a distance.
Nowadays, both the palace guards and the guards in Chang'an City have all been replaced by Jinwu guards. As for who the commander is, Li Hong himself doesn't know who he is, and he doesn't deal with them anyway.
But even so, when the familiar sound of skateboarding came to Jin Wuwei's ears, he naturally did not dare to test his fish charm.
A figure drew a perfect arc in the air with a skateboard, and crossed the tall threshold of the middle doorway easily and gracefully. Just like the flying geese leaving a sound, when the figure had disappeared at the door, Jin Wuwei heard His Highness's voice at this time. That thank you.
Sure enough, under Jin Wuwei's silent calculation, after ten breaths of time, two pretty figures also ran here quickly.
"Thank you, Brother Jinwuwei." Two crisp voices rang in the air, and then he quickly rushed into the Danfeng Gate.
The soldiers of Jinwu Guard could only shake their heads and smile bitterly at this time. This scene that they had not seen for many days seemed to be happening again every now and then.
As the first main hall, Hanyuan Hall is not the place where courtiers discuss affairs or go to court. The place where courtiers discuss affairs is the Xuanzheng Hall behind Hanyuan Hall. Li Hong's tall figure is stepping on his skateboard at this moment. Speeding across the vast square between Danfeng Gate and Hanyuan Hall, he seemed so small.
Not far behind, there are two orioles coming out of the valley, Xia Zhi and Xiao Xue. The three of them finished the characters one after another, just like the arrangement of the main hall Hanyuan Hall in front, and the Qifeng Pavilion and Xiangluan Hall on both sides.
The steps and slopes of His Royal Highness Hanyuan were used for ministers to pass through and enter the path to the Xuanzheng Hall of China and North Korea at the back. At this time, Li Hong had no choice but to stop halfway up the slope, stepped on his skateboard and held it in his hand slowly upwards. Go.
Xia Zhi and Xiaoxue seized the opportunity and hurriedly reached the top of Hanyuan Hall and caught up with Li Hong who was about to slide down on his skateboard. One of them hurriedly got closer to tie his belt, and the other hurriedly adjusted his crown and heels. apparel.
As soon as he was sorted out, Li Hong rushed down the slope like the wind. With this momentum, he was bound to rush directly to the entrance of Xuanzheng Hall 300 meters away.
With one foot on the skateboard and one foot on the ground, he rushed out as fast as an arrow. Mixed with the sound of whistling, all the Jinwu guards, palace maids, and eunuchs in the palace couldn't help but scream. Looking sideways at each other.
He couldn't help but secretly thought: "This familiar scene is happening again."
"His Royal Highness is late again."
"It seems that His Highness the Crown Prince is not late for his morning court."
After the completion of the Daming Palace, the entire security level was much higher than that of the previous Taiji Palace. In particular, every official who went to court had to undergo strict inspection before they could successfully enter the Xuanzheng Palace.
And this is also the reason why court officials have to rush out of their homes to go to court before dawn. The main reason is because the inspection procedures are too cumbersome and waste too much time.
The Jinwu guards at the entrance of Xuanzheng Palace looked at the figure of His Highness the Crown Prince rushing forward. Many people had an indescribable feeling in their eyes. Some even felt sad in their hearts. Such a prince would never return in the future. Can the Tang Dynasty maintain its current prosperity
Li Zhi watched as he rushed in, throwing the skateboard in his hand to Li Hong, who was guarding Jinwu at the door, and said nothing.
At this time, the discussion in the court was coming to an end, and they were discussing when they could persuade the Minister of Household Affairs to increase their salary.
Dai Zhide did not wear court clothes, as if he deliberately made Li Zhi and the royal family look bad. He wore a coarse robe and stood proudly next to the new Minister of Rites, Zhang Jianzhi.
Zhang Jianzhi is in his forties this year and is a late blooming prime minister of the Tang Dynasty. However, with his lean shoulders, dark complexion, and calm expression on his face, his aura is at least as good as that of Dai Zhide, who has a dark face. .
"I object to the increase in salary now, but you can exchange the original cloth and silk into cash money of the same value from now on. But... there is one more thing, no one is allowed to use old money. If you agree, it will be done after the court. You can sign the order." Li Hong didn't even look at Dai Zhide, and walked to his position as Minister of Revenue and said.
"I second the proposal." Ren Yaxiang, Minister of the Ministry of War, was the first to stand up and said.
As the Secretary of the Ministry of War, he knows best what Li Hong wants to do. If the military system of the government is disintegrated, the power of the Ministry of War will be further reduced. Not only that, sending troops will be a problem for the Ministry of War in the future. Naturally, he is the first to stand at this time. People who came out to support the Minister of Revenue.
"I second the proposal." Zong Chuke naturally said that, as Shaoyin of Jingzhao Mansion, if he doesn't agree with his superior's proposal, he doesn't want to do it.
"I second the proposal." Zhang Wenguan, the right servant of Shangshu Province, and Zhao Renben, the left servant of Shangshu Province, said at the same time.
Without waiting for other courtiers to speak, Li Zhi sat at the top and said calmly: "Who objects to the proposal of the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue? If not, then the Zhongshu Province will draft the decree, the Ministry of Menxia will approve it, and issue it to the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue to implement it. ”
After hearing Li Zhi's words, the ministers apparently agreed upon their opinions after a short period of whispering and discussion. They looked at each other from left to right, back and forth, and then bowed and saluted at the same time: "I have no objections."
"Your Majesty, the guilty minister disagrees." Dai Zhide took a step forward with his head held high and said proudly.
