Chapter 872: The Emperor is Ruthless

Daming Palace, a relatively remote palace, Li Ye, who is still in the prime of life, is a woman.

Of course, this woman was not a Uighur woman who was sent to the palace a few days ago, but one of the two Silla royal daughters offered by He Dongjin before, that is, Kim Yeon.

As for Jin Qiao, Li Ye didn't ask for it, and only chose Jin Yan, who had a better temperament.

Although Li Ye's soul comes from the later generations, he still can't get rid of his lustful nature, unlike those faint gentlemen who are obsessed with women, he did not delay the government because of women, but there are many women around him.

In addition to the concubines who followed him in the early years, there are now many more concubines in his harem from other countries.

There are Shatuo, there are Uighurs, as well as Xi and Nanzhao, plus the Silla royal daughter who is very obedient next to him.

There are more than 20 concubines in his harem, and non-Han people account for one-third.

It is said that Khitan Yelu Abaoji's wife Shu Luping is good, young and beautiful, and she doesn't know when she can meet.

Now Li Ye feels that he is no different from Cao Thief.

Li Ye didn't like the new and the old, and he had always been very fond of the queen and a few other concubines who followed him earlier.

However, for those concubines who entered the palace for the purpose, Li Ye's attitude was a little colder, more like venting their desires.

For the Silla royal daughter next to her, Li Ye is quite satisfied, and she is worthy of being a famous Silla maid.

And the identity of the other party's Silla royal family made Li Ye feel a sense of conquest.

"Your Majesty, the slave maid will serve you to bathe."

After the battle, Li Ye was also sweating profusely, and Jin Yan next to him was asking for instructions in a low voice at the right time.

Jin Yan's status is not high, she is only one of the eighty-one royal wives, and she is only the second-to-last royal maid, and she is at the grade of the seventh grade.

Like the concubines and daughters of Fugulin, because they are hostile relatives, they are the lowest daughters, and they don't even have a grade.

Even Li Ye's majestic Jin Yan didn't dare to annoy Li Ye at all.

"Then let the water be ready." Li Ye said lightly, but there were constant small movements in his hands.

However, Jin Yan was young after all, but she couldn't hold back while serving the bath, "Your Majesty, now that Silla is in civil strife, can the slaves and maids take their families to Chang'an?" ”

"Are you sure? Your father was an important minister of Silla, and would he be willing to abandon his position in Silla and come to Chang'an as an ordinary person? Li Ye raised his eyebrows and asked casually.

"The slave's father seems to be a heavy minister, but Silla is weak and insecure. If His Majesty can give an order to help Silla get through the difficulties, then the slave's father will not need to have a boat or car... ”

"Shut up!"

Before Jin Yan finished speaking, Li Ye yelled, and then the palace maids serving around knelt on the ground, and even the generals of the forbidden army who were waiting outside for Li Ye's safety also asked through the wall.

Zhang Cheng knew that something bad was going to happen when he heard Jin Yan's words, a maid who had just entered the palace actually dared to ask about the government, and when she saw that the saint's face was not very good, she immediately asked in a low voice, "Your Majesty... ”

"I'm not resting here tonight." Li Ye said in a deep voice.

"Slave obeys!" After Zhang Cheng saluted, he instructed the palace maid next to him, "What are you doing in a daze?" Don't hurry up and change your Majesty's clothes. ”

A group of palace maids immediately got busy, and until Li Ye left, Jin Yan was still at a loss in the bathtub, not knowing what she had said wrong.

"Did I say something wrong?" Kim Yeon muttered.

"Niangniang, you shouldn't ask about the government and Silla, Niangniang shouldn't mention it. Niangniang entered the palace for a short time, and she came from Silla, and just now Niangniang indirectly mentioned that she wanted the saint to help Silla, which was a taboo in this palace.

At the very least, before Niangniang became the ninth concubine, she couldn't mention the government and politics. A female officer next to him whispered.

In fact, this female official didn't want to remind the other party, but she was assigned to serve this Silla concubine, and the two were already in a situation where they were both prosperous and loss-making.

After listening to the female officer's words, Jin Yan sat stupidly in the bathtub, and it took a long time to come to her senses.

Leaving where Jin Yan lived, Zhang Cheng couldn't help asking, "Your Majesty, are you going back to the dormitory now, or are you going to a certain lady?" ”

Li Ye thought about it, and it didn't seem interesting to go back to his bedroom, so he asked, "Which concubine's bedroom is closest here?" ”

Zhang Cheng looked at it and hesitated for a moment, "Your Majesty, it seems that Sun Xiuyuan's bedroom is closer to here." ”

"Where is she?"

Sun Xiuyuan is Sun Ying'er, that is, the cousin of the late Concubine Sun Mei, and now she is Li Ye's Xiuyuan.

"Your Majesty, do you want to go to Sun Xiuyuan?"

"Go ahead!"

Li Ye thought about it and nodded.

A second ago, Li Ye was still having fun with Jin Yan, and in a blink of an eye he lifted his pants and turned his face.

There are no secrets in the harem, and the news that Li Ye left the dormitory where Jin Yan lived last night and went to Sun Ying'er reached the ears of the concubines in the harem early the next morning.

I don't know exactly what the reason is, but I don't have to think that the new Silla royal daughter annoyed the saint.

The first and fourth concubines and nine concubines naturally don't care too much about this matter, after all, they have one or two days a month to serve the saint, but the other concubines are different.

Jin Yan annoyed the saint, she definitely has no qualifications to serve the saint in a short time, won't the other low-level concubines have a chance?

。。。。。。

"Your Majesty, the first batch of gold and silver from Zuodu has arrived in Shengzhou, a total of 300 catties of gold ingots and 3,000 catties, which will be transported to Shangzhou by ship, and then to Chang'an, which is expected to take a month."

In the Daming Palace, Jinyiwei Jinyiwei commanded Li Jianzheng to report to Li Ye about the silver mine of the Wa Kingdom.

Although the imperial court was mainly attracted by the affairs of the Western Regions in the thirteenth year of Qianning, the affairs of the Eastern Kingdom in the Wa Kingdom did not fall behind.

With the support of the Mingzhou Sailor, Xue Huzi can be said to have been mixed this year.

Xue Huzi's pirates changed from more than 100 warships to more than 500 ships, and not only occupied Iwami, Izumo, Oki, Sado and other countries, but also plundered Kyushu and the northern coast of Wa Province on a large scale.

He didn't expect that he was just a small pirate at the beginning, but now he has become so powerful.

Of course, in order to ensure control of the situation, the Tang Dynasty expanded the Mingzhou Naval Division into three compartments, one of which was stationed in Tamluo and Tsushima, so as not to let Xue Huzi get out of control.

After the occupation of Iwami and Sado, the Meiju sailors and the men of Jinyiwei searched for gold and silver mines in two places and began to mine, and the labor force was mainly the Japanese who were raided by pirates, and there were also Silla people who plundered from Silla.

"Three thousand pounds of silver ingots? Almost 48,000? Li Ye made a simple calculation.

3,000 catties of silver converted into two is 48,000 taels, and one tael of silver was worth almost the same amount of money in the Tang Dynasty.

In the Tang Dynasty, because the production of silver was not large, it was not legal tender, and there was little circulation, but the value was quite stable.

Of course, with the massive inflow of silver in the future, the depreciation of silver is certain.

However, in order to better circulate, it is imperative to turn silver into a fiat currency that can be circulated in large quantities.
