The afternoon sun shines brightly on people, making them feel lazy involuntarily.
The gentle breeze slowly passed by, adding a touch of comfort to the comfortable nerves. I stretched my hand across the laziness in the air, and a sense of leisure slowly settled in my heart.
The most fascinating building of the Daming Palace has been perfected for a long time. It was named the hanging garden pavilion by Li Hong.
The swing ladder designed by Li Hong has been innovated for several years in the Royal Manor in Taiyi City, and is now more maturely used in the attic of the hanging garden.
Li Zhi and Wu Mei slowly climbed to the top, and the entire prosperous Chang'an City was overlooked at their feet.
There is a heavy flow of people and numerous shops. Merchants coming and going carrying goods, walking through the streets and alleys, looking for their goals.
Because the original Tai Chi Palace was isolated in front of the Daming Palace, it was difficult to hear the noisy and lively noise of the crowded streets of Chang'an City.
But looking at the lively scene, it seems that the sound of "prosperity" has been remembered in my ears.
Li Zhi was in a bad mood because of the Tubo incident and disliked everything.
The Tai Chi Palace, which was originally very strong, began to collapse after Li Hong left. When it was windy and rainy, many walls suddenly collapsed from the drizzle.
This makes people have to wonder, was this Tai Chi Palace destroyed by that little brat secretly
After all, this Tai Chi Palace is no longer used by the royal family. It would be a pity to leave it unused and abandoned.
So every time Li Hong passed by, his eyes turned green.
When Wu Mei and Li Zhi found out that after the royal family moved into the Daming Palace, the little bastard wanted to raze the Tai Chi Palace to the ground and rebuild it together with his East Palace. Naturally, the couple called someone to their side and beat him up hard. He gave him a meal to warn him not to think too much about Tai Chi Palace.
But God followed people's wishes. Within two months of Li Hong's departure, various accidents began to occur in Tai Chi Palace.
In desperation, Li Zhi ordered the Ministry of Industry to start redesigning Tai Chi Palace.
Although he knew it was Li Hong who was up to no good, he was no longer in Chang'an at the moment, and he couldn't be found if he wanted to settle accounts with him.
Sure enough, within three days of Li Zhi's order, the Ministry of Engineering came up with the design drawings efficiently.
Looking at the familiar handwriting and various flat graphics on the drawing, Wu Mei's forehead was covered with black lines, and the veins in her jade hands were exposed because she clenched her fists tightly.
As a result, the little fat Li Dan became a victim. That day, Wu Mei was severely beaten for grabbing Princess Taiping's toffee.
After the beating, Wu Mei suddenly felt refreshed and everything she saw became much more pleasing to the eye.
"What is this little brat building? It looks like his Taiyi City." Li Zhi frowned, asking this question eight hundred times a year, as if something was missing from his life this year. .
Wu Mei knew, however, that this was Li Zhi's disguised attempt to remember Li Hong's mistakes and wait for them to come back and settle the old and new accounts together.
But having said that, Wu Mei still admires the large building in front of her.
The entire road paved with bluestone slabs, as well as the garden flowers and plants next to the Daming Palace, were trimmed with a large Chinese character "Tang" by craftsmen.
Surrounded by flowers, Wu Mei accidentally saw a big smiling face that looked very much like Li Hong on the green lawn.
After questioning, Lian Tie hesitated and said that His Royal Highness was afraid that you would miss him, so he ordered the craftsmen to trim his smiling face here so that you can see him as soon as you climb up the castle in the air.
Needless to say, the result was that all of Li Hong's smiling face was cut off by Wu Mei's order. The reason was that the palms of his hands felt itchy when he looked at the smiling face.
Then the little fat man Li Dan on the side ran faster than the rabbit. After Wu Mei finished speaking, the "rabbit" disappeared.
Looking at the buildings below that were all made of stone, Li Zhi and Wu Mei were initially dissatisfied, but in the end, after knowing the various uses of these buildings, the two reluctantly agreed.
What's more, all this did not require them to pay a penny. Li Hong paid for it himself from Taiyi City. As for the Ministry of Revenue, it has now become Li Hong's wallet. I am afraid that except for Jinghui, the minister of the Ministry of Revenue, Li Zhi does not I know how much money he has in the Tang Dynasty household department.
The two stood in the castle in the air, admiring the world under their feet. Before they had time to burn incense, the military department took the red feather's fold from Yang Wu's hand and was brought to Li Zhi's side.
"Your Majesty, the Ministry of War is urgently reporting." Yang Wu said respectfully.
Li Zhi took it and opened it, his brows immediately furrowed, he clenched his hands to play, and looked into the distance silently.
Wu Mei glanced at Li Zhi's expression and involuntarily relaxed her heart that had just been raised when she heard the urgent music.
Originally, she thought that Li Hong's little brat was acting like a monster again, but looking at Li Zhi's serious expression, he was not anxious. It was obviously other things that worried him.
Li Zhi glanced at Wu Mei, and after seeing her looking at him, he turned his attention to Chang'an City at his feet.
He sighed deeply and said somewhat heavily: "It's just as Li Hong expected." While speaking, Li Zhi shook his head involuntarily.
"Your Majesty, what are you talking about?" Wu Mei asked without looking at the urgent report, just glanced at it lightly.
"Back then, Hong'er and Dai Zhide caused a turmoil in the court because of the incident of sending troops to Liaodong. In the end, Hong'er dismissed Dai Zhide from the official posts of Minister of Rites, including several others. But now, everything is like Hong's. As expected a few years ago, the joint forces of Goryeo and Silla began to send troops to the Tang Dynasty." A trace of anger flashed in Li Zhi's eyes.
Now that I think about it, what happened back then was really thrilling.
If Li Hong hadn't refused to send troops with a tough attitude, how much troops and money would the Tang Dynasty need to invest in Goryeo today
If troops had been sent to assist back then, then if Goryeo and Silla joined forces to attack the Tang Dynasty today, this would be an extremely ironic thing for the Tang Dynasty to feed its own tigers and reap the consequences.
Dai Zhide advocated sending troops back then. I wonder what he would think now
"The court has appointed Qibi Heli as the general manager of the march on Dongzhou Road and Gao Kan as the deputy general manager. Li Jinxing has been appointed as the general manager of the march on Yanshan Road and Yang Fang as the deputy general manager to jointly send troops to Goryeo and Silla. Do you have any idea about this? What do you think? If this is what you wanted back then, can you bear the loss of Datang in the past few years?" Li Hong stroked Bai Qi's huge black wolf head and looked in front of him with a relaxed expression. Dai Zhide.
Dai Zhide said nothing. He did not believe that there would be war in Liaodong, which had been peaceful for several years.
Li Hong chuckled, handed the memorial in his hand to Dai Zhide, and said, "Although you have been away from the court for almost four years, I think you can still tell whether the memorial in the court is true or false. Take it and take a look. ”
Passing the memorial in his hand to Dai Zhide, Li Hong slowly stood up and walked around: "Time can sometimes prove whether a person's decision is right or wrong. There are some things that we can definitely do after careful calculation and deliberation. Find out the context. Just like when I summoned you to Tubo, I don’t know if you hate me or think that I am deliberately making things difficult for you because of what happened back then.”
"I don't dare." Dai Zhide closed his eyes in pain. The memorial in his hand seemed to weigh a thousand pounds. He had to let go and gave up reading the memorial in his hand.
Ashinu watched the memorial fall to the ground, and hurriedly and carefully picked it up under Bai Qi's gaze, and then stood aside, waiting for Li Hong to take it back.
"We often warn ourselves not to use 'the heart of a villain to judge the heart of a gentleman', but you, Dai Zhide, have not understood one thing, that is, this statement is only suitable for people like you. With the tolerance of the Tang Dynasty, I It is no longer the behavior of a gentleman to come to the ignorant people of Goryeo and Silla. They are still uncivilized stubborn people. In our Tang Dynasty, their maids enjoy a high status in their Silla family. It is an honor for a daughter to serve the nobles in the Tang Dynasty. But you want to be honest with someone who admires your maidservant. Isn't it ridiculous?" Li Hong patted Dai Zhide on the shoulder and motioned for him to sit down.
As for Ashinu, until now, he has no interest in even taking a look.
As long as he is handed over to Lawless for a while and tortured properly, he will definitely be able to dig out a lot of things.
"I wonder what your Highness's purpose is in calling us to come to Tibet? Is it because the common people disrespected Your Highness back then, so they are exiled thousands of miles away?" Dai Zhide was dismissed from office for four years, but he still has the character of a scholar.
"The heart of a villain determines the heart of a gentleman. By the way, Dai Zhide, you and I have been quarreling in court for several years. From your perspective on people, do you think I, Li Hong, am the kind of petty person? Or are you? Do you think I, Li Hong, am petty and vindictive, so I have to wait until now to deal with you?" Li Hong watched Banmei put a cup of tea for Dai Zhide, and he really had the urge to pour the hot tea down Dai Zhide's head to see what was inside his head. Is it really sticky
"Your Highness, I forgive you for being rude. Although I don't know why Your Highness summoned us to come to Tibet, I never really hated you in the court. Because of different political opinions, I was in court. There are many enemies in the hall, but Xiaomin doesn't understand why Xiaomin is still employed after he was dismissed from his official position. "Dai Zhide returned to his old age, and he started to act hypocritical at this time.
"I said Dai Zhide, you are really boring. Are you a child? Why are you so pretentious at such an old age? What happened to deposing you? With your virtue, you can see for yourself. If you were not dismissed, what if you were not dismissed? According to your proposal, the Tang Dynasty used troops in Liaodong. What do we get now? Isn’t it just a white-eyed wolf like this Tubo... What are you looking at? I’m not talking about you!"
Li Hong said the last thing, looking at Bai Qi and rolling his eyes at him again, so he yelled at Bai Qi.
The last sentence didn't stop Bai Qi from yelling, but it shocked Dai Zhide, but in return Bai Qi rolled his eyes at him.
