My mother told me to listen to politics in the ear room again. Not only that, but he also allowed me to enter the Secret Pavilion to read the old dossiers - but still not to let the ministers know, so every time I asked Cui Mingde to take the scroll in my mother's name, and then she sent it back after reading it.

Just like Ah Huan's friendship with me, Cui Mingde's friendship with me is also known in the palace. My mother not only did not dislike Cui Mingde's dealings with me, but was a little happy to see it, whenever she had something to say, something for me, or a summons, most of them asked Cui Mingde to come in person, and Cui Mingde was frequently mentioned during conversations with me. Thanks to Cui Mingde's help, in January and February, I understood the current situation clearly, and my mother can always answer a sentence or two when asked.

Since the change of the Tang Dynasty to the Zhou Dynasty after the major events in the court, one is to continue to kill people, so that the current court class is shorter than before, less to say a third, legend has it that some courtiers have to say goodbye to their families every time they go to the court, explain the aftermath, and wait until they return home, the family will be happy, such as being amnesty; The matter of sealing Zen, my mother has been sealed Taishan last year, and the honorific title has also been changed to "Holy Spirit Emperor", but Wu Chenghei is still in the book, please add "Golden Wheel" The two words, in order to show that the emperor is the reincarnation of the Buddha's body, and please seal Songshan, but in my opinion, my mother has received Xiangrui for so many years, and seems to be a little tired, and she seems to be not very enthusiastic about the honorific title and Feng Chan; however, the daily operation of the country has not only not been abandoned because of the revolution of changing the yuan, but has also been innovated: the imperial examination has recently been extremely indiscriminate, and a large number of officials have been awarded, but once they are unqualified, they will be deposed quickly, so they have given many people of insight from poor families a chance; Li Zhaode and other recognized capable ministers were all saved, Di Renjie was demoted to the county lieutenant of another county because of the secret report, and was called back in September to be the middle of the imperial history; in four years, his mother reduced taxes ten times, and every year she wanted to give the old people of the world and the Wu family figures, and insisted on personally meeting all the magistrates above the history of the assassin, and instructed them to take the peace of the people as their business, and to be close to the people and love the people, so the people were quite stable; only the military was quite disadvantageous - at the beginning of my mother's accession to the throne, there were frequent rebellions, and there were rebellions by the Lingnan fangs. Guangzhou and the merchants, the imperial court was busy suppressing, the Turks took the opportunity to invade, the Anbei Protectorate was lost, and had to move the government to Ganzhou, Anxi and other capitals were also small border chaos, the imperial court had no generals, unable to suppress, overwhelmed, but in the past one or two years there has been no rebellion, and my mother personally selected a few capable people to supervise the trade in Guangzhou, Yangzhou, Yizhou and other cities, the country is stable, and it is only a matter of time before the border is stable - this is not only my opinion, Cui Mingde also sees it this way.

At the moment, my mother only uses me to do some trivial things, and I can't ask about important matters, but because of Ah Shao, I have often discussed the overall situation with Cui Mingde in private, and we both think that according to my mother's practice of reducing taxes, giving goods, fighting wars, and wantonly building and sealing Zen, the treasury will sooner or later be unable to support it, and if we want to raise troops to pacify Anxi and recover Anbei in the future, we must find ways to expand financial resources.

Cui Mingde went one step further than I thought, and took the opportunity of entering and leaving the secret pavilion to find out all the things about the country's military support, and when he talked with me, he took a pen and paper and calculated the cost of the war in January as eight or nine as far as ten—the cost of a month would be at least hundreds of thousands, and at most it could be several million—this figure was really unexpectedly large.

In the last month of the second year of longevity, I passed in the understanding of the government and politics that I don't know whether it should be a preview or a tutoring, and by the way, I took advantage of these days to meet with Dugu Shao a few times, she was full of ambition, no parting, I according to Cui Mingde's intentions, when she told her euphemistically, she just said: "It's not a direct war with people, but go to Anbei Tuntian to guard, just wait for the opportunity to move, don't worry." "And in turn instructed me, "Although Cui Er looks smart, he is actually arrogant and stubborn, you are in the palace, take more care of her - she has already voted for you, you may not even be able to protect your subordinates?" The two of them refuse to meet by themselves, and use you as an errand, you don't call someone to beat them out, you only know that they are verbose here, and I can't go to war on behalf of Dugu Shao, what's the use of telling me?"

Ah Huan has not asked me about the picture since that day, but there is always a little yin and yang, I coaxed many times and was not good, I felt ashamed, she didn't dare to talk back when she said it, so she had to find an opportunity to solve it herself.

Fortunately, in addition to Ah Huan and Cui Er, I also have Li Dan and Shouli's younger brothers and nephews, and when I encounter unhappy things, I look for these small teasing and teasing, and I will solve it - my mother said that I was asked to be Sasuke Li Dan from the side, but in fact, I was ordered to be in charge of this matter, Li Dan, Shouli, and Li De are all famous, which is just like studying in the East Palace. But there is no serious master, in the end they read, the bachelors make up books, I sometimes look at the progress of the bachelors, say some of my own opinions for them to verify, sometimes look at Li Dan's reading progress, there is something I don't understand, a few children are unwilling to ask the bachelors, but they all come to ask me, if I know, it is to explain a few words casually, if I don't know, they are also pestered by them to inquire, and then turn to tell, so it is said to be a book, in the end it is more like half with children and half teaching.

Li De is a few years old, Li Wei is silent by nature, Li Dan is very restrained in temperament after the abolition of the emperor, he is very respectful when he meets me, but he is easy to discipline, but it is Shouli and Li De's younger brother Qianli who is the most difficult to manage: Shouli and I met a few times, I don't know whether I remembered the past, or what his mother said to him, I have to follow me on the way to the East Palace every day, and when I get to the place, I am "aunt" and "aunt" I can't stop screaming, it's like a little heel, and people are shy in front of people, but they are very easy to ask after people, and the questions asked are also strange, such as "why birds can fly" and "why do the Tibetan people look different from us" and so on are already good, I can barely use some knowledge of the two lives to explain, such as "what is at the end of the sky" and "will there be a universe outside the universe", you can also fool the past with nonsense, but "does the Buddha really exist?" and "why is one plus one two", I can't resist these questions at all, and I often have to rely on themSentences such as "study hard and grow up to know" bluffed him, and there have been signs of bluffing recently; Qianli's name was given by his mother, and he was young, and he was somewhat decent among the emperors and grandchildren, and the people in the palace were quite tolerant, so he became more and more wanton, and at first he was a little restrained in front of me, only when I was not there, he went up the tree and went into the water, Catch birds and fish, make a lot of trouble, it is an upgraded version of the young Li Dan, but a few days ago I don't know where to catch a tiger cub, raised in the palace garden, from the garden where the mother often goes is only a few hundred steps, the inner servant of the garden to Ah Huan complained a few times, Ah Huan can't control him, throw it to me, I came forward to ask someone to send the tiger to the outer garden to be locked up in a cage, this guy will resented me, every day when I teach Li Dan a few times to read, I make a lot of noise, and learn etiquette, find a lot of strange questions to ask, I asked a lot of words and laughed, made my brain hurt- I happened to be in a bad mood today, so I found an excuse to clean up this kid.

I thought all the way on my waist, and saw Shouli standing outside the Baisun Courtyard again, and bowed obediently: "Auntie." When I got closer, the little face smiled happily: "Auntie is also going to the East Palace? ”

He gave me a headache again, and it was also Ah Huan's son, so I smiled unconsciously and nodded, "Okay." "I wanted him to go with me, but he refused, he wanted to accompany my side, on foot, I saw him, I already had a plan to deal with Qianli, and said with a smile: "What have Da Lang and his brothers been doing recently? It's New Year's Day soon, and there will be a big banquet at that time, maybe you will all be called to take the test, but do you have to study hard?" 166 Reading Network
