Chapter 856: Eliminate old ministers?

Views:

Not long after Li Zhe walked out of the palace, Cheetah ran in again with his body bowed. Pei Wanying and Chen Qinghan put down their arrogance and once again assumed the posture of a graceful and extraordinary princess, standing dignifiedly and virtuously in front of Li Zhe. On both sides of Hong, they looked at Cheetah with a toothless smile and reported: "Your Majesty, King Yin wants to see you."

"Lao Ba is here too, let him wait for a while, I will go later..."

"Your Majesty..."

"Yes, yes, I will go find him later. Let him wander around for a while, but remember, don't let him touch my things randomly. He has smashed the good porcelain several times. If this continues, Let him take it all away." Li Hong waved his hands with a headache and rolled his eyes dissatisfiedly at Pei Wanying who was suppressing a smile and said to Chen Qinghan.

Li Dan didn't know which rib was wrong. During this period, he was only interested in porcelain, and he was only interested in the porcelain presented to the Daming Palace.

The porcelain presented to the imperial palace is basically unique in the world. There is absolutely no second set that is exactly the same in this world. Therefore, whenever Li Dan likes a set of porcelain, he will pretend to drop it accidentally. One of them, and then he can happily take this defective piece home.

As for whether this set of defective products still has value and whether it can still be regarded as a set of high-quality porcelain, he doesn't care at all. He only cares about even if it only has one cup.

After Cheetah left, Li Hong immediately put on the helpless expression he had just faced the two women and explained: "There is really no other meaning. It is entirely because the Tang Dynasty Navy has many good generals, so whether it is Pei Xingjian or Chen Jingzhi, now that I am getting older, it is time to return to Chang'an to rest in peace. It has nothing to do with the situation in the court. I also want to ask you two, who did you listen to? I want to give up. Are you planning to remove all these heroes? "

Pei Wanying and Chen Qinghan, one stood behind Li Hong, letting Li Hong's head rest on the soft skin on his chest, helping His Majesty the Emperor massage his shoulders and neck, while the other squatted on the carpet. He massaged the legs of the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, with a "flattery" and "flattery" look on his face.

"Are you telling the truth?" Chen Qinghan, who was squatting on the carpet, or strictly speaking, kneeling on the carpet, massaging Li Hong's legs with a pair of delicate hands, raised his bright eyes and looked at Datang the emperor asked.

"Nonsense, after all these years, when have I ever deceived you? By the way, I'm just wondering, who asked you to come here and ask me? Pei Xingjian and Chen Jingzhi? They are not such courtiers. Have other courtiers come to see me? You guys, are you here to find out what is going on in the court from my mouth?" Li Hong looked puzzled and enjoying himself, enjoying the massage given to him by the two beauties. The troubles in the court today were instantly forgotten. To the back of the head.

"No one is looking for us. We stay in the harem every day. Even if we go to Chang'an City to wander around, we have never dealt with any courtiers. It's just... I just don't feel at ease..." Pei Wanying rubbed Li Hong's neck with one hand. , playing with one of Li Hong's ears with one hand. The ears were too soft, which was really annoying.

"Whether it's your father or not, I believe he is not the kind of person who takes official position too seriously. Especially Pei Xingjian, who has been with me for more than ten years. In these years, Chen Jingzhi was also involved in the wars in the north and south. He wanders on the sea every day, so that you women, even on the first day of the year, even if you leave the palace, you can't reunite with your parents. In addition, they are now old. Zhang Yi was still someone else who followed me back then. Among the soldiers who fought against Japan, many talented people have emerged, so Pei Xingjian and Chen Jingzhi deserve to enjoy their old age." Li Hong patted Chen Qinghan's head. This guy said. He stopped pressing me properly and started to pinch his thigh.

"Then... there is one more thing. I need you to help me clear up my doubts." Chen Qinghan and Pei Wanying looked at each other, then looked at Li Hong who closed his eyes to rest, and begged in an extremely soft tone.

"Is it Yeyue's problem? Let her come to me by herself. Besides, Saleh has not been forced into a desperate situation now. Let her come by herself and I will give her an explanation." Li Hong felt helpless. sigh.

Nowadays, I am more and more able to understand the difficulties of my father's reign. As the current emperor, no matter what I do, there are pairs of eyes watching below, even if it is simply for Pei Xingjian, Chen Jingzhi, or even It was Zong Chuke and others who retired from old age and returned home, and they would all be labeled as this. This is when His Majesty began to stabilize his throne, and began to eliminate the influence of those heroes who followed him in the court, in order to ensure that His empire was stabilized.

Li Hong really wanted to find out this kind of gossip and ask him if he needed to use this method to stabilize the country? Are you so unsure of yourself? When he was the prince, he was able to conquer them one by one and obey them. Now that he has ascended the throne as the emperor, would he still care that these old ministers with gray beards and old bones would cause chaos for no reason

And in addition to these, what bothers him even more is that he must not show his strong interest in anything or anything in front of any courtiers. Once he is even slightly interested in something, someone will immediately use various reasons to, Come and pay homage to the palace with these things.

Even if I go to a courtier's house twice more, it will even arouse the mother's speculation: Could it be that so-and-so has a beautiful daughter? Did the emperor see his daughter at some time, so he kept going so many times? What about running to someone else's home

Am I that kind of person? Li Hong really wanted to question his mother-in-law face to face, but when he saw that mother-in-law ordered the palace maids to call Pei Wanying and Shangguan Wan'er to him, Li Hong's face suddenly turned green. Why did she not let go of this old thing?

What's more, except for Pei Wanying, she didn't go to Pei Xingjian because she was Pei Xingjian's daughter. When she and Pei Xingjian met, they didn't know each other's identities. It was a completely free love and had nothing to do with the interests of the court. involve!

And Shangguan Wan'er, it wasn't Li Lingyue who had arranged this since she was a child. Shangguan Yi kept it for herself... Well, he did have some thoughts about Shangguan Wan'er, but he just wanted to see this famous person in history. What is so great about this talented woman

Since Shangguan Wan'er entered the palace, she is indeed better than others in terms of intelligence. No, Pei Xingjian, Chen Jingzhi, and Shangguan Yi were also removed from their official positions, but Shangguan Yi's granddaughter did not come. Obviously She knew what she was thinking in her heart, unlike these two silly girls who thought that she really wanted to stabilize the throne and the country, so she came up with this strategy to eliminate the meritorious ministers of the year.

"Oh... you two should really learn from Wan'er..."

"She is too embarrassed to come, not to mention that Her Royal Highness the Princess left the palace with her early today and went around to help you put out the fire. The hot air balloons burned in the sky two days ago. Most of the people in Chang'an City saw it, and one after another figures came from It fell from the air. Although the body had been found and moved away by the Central Army before the people arrived, the people spread the news even more. "Chen said. Qinghan put his chin on Li Hong's thigh and said with distracted eyes.

"Really, speaking of this, I, Sister Qinghan, and other sisters should all learn from Sister Bai and Sister Wan'er. They are really your good helpers. Shangguan Wan'er stayed up late last night. I spent the whole night racking my brains to think of various ways to eliminate the bad influence of the hot air balloon crash on the people of Chang'an as soon as possible. Why don't you let Wan'er serve you tonight? Sister Bai hasn't been in the palace for a long time. There are still many things in Taiyi City that make Sister Bai work hard, and you don't want to reward her." Pei Wanying also stopped massaging Li Hong, and put all her upper body weight on Li Hong's back. The jade-like cheek was pressed against Li Hong's face, and the delicate skin felt the stubble on Li Hong's cheeks, and he murmured in a daze.

"What happened in Taiyi City was a matter of time. Although the explosion was a bit more violent, fortunately it did not kill too many people. At least the elite craftsmen in the medicinal kitchen were saved. This is already the best result. Moreover, This happened sooner or later. It took so many years for it to happen without incident. I really have to thank God for opening his eyes. Now that the medicinal food room continues to move to the hinterland of Zhongnan Mountain, Bai Chun will inevitably be busy these days, but it will be over soon. She will be back in the next two days." Li Hong turned around and kissed Pei Wanying's white cheek, while Chen Qinghan held her other hand tightly and buried her face in his palm. , seems... seems to be asleep.

Taiyi City is like an urban economic development zone in later generations. Now it has begun to truly highlight its full role. It is like the engine of the Tang Dynasty's economy, pulling the entire Tang Dynasty forward economically and militarily. .

Nowadays, tap fire is about to become a weapon that is despised by the Central Army. In horse-drawn combat, Mo Dao, Heng Dao, and mounted combat, they still maintain their original standards. After several years of actual combat on horseback, tap fire has become It is invincible.

The tribal riots in Yunzhong Grassland last year allowed the central army to use tap fire on the territory of the Tang Dynasty for the first time after the Tang Dynasty Navy had displayed its power in the Japanese country.

Because of this battle, in just half a month, with the speed of thunder and lightning, the riots of the nomadic tribes in the Yunzhong Protectorate were quickly put down by killing chickens to scare monkeys, thus causing other people who had raised their heads a little. The nomadic tribes were once again suppressed, and in the current court, Li Hong began to sort out the management methods in more detail, so that there would be no worries on the grassland.
