Chapter 1037: Old Child
Regarding Di Renjie's conspiracy, although Fang Yiai and others were slightly disgusted, they could only accept it. After all, they almost carried a stinky basket on their backs this time, and if the emperor used the topic to play, it was possible for their family to be ruined.
After looking at each other, Fang Yiai came out and said, "Your Majesty, how can the expedition to the Wa Kingdom be an expense that the Di family can bear." Weichen and others were almost wronged today because of the Wa State, and now it is the time to be annoyed with the Wa State. If you want to assist the army on an expedition, you must let the Fang family do your part no matter what. ”
Fang Yiai is out of work, and Du He and others are naturally not willing to be left behind. The Emperor's composure just now is another manifestation of his anger, and he does not take advantage of the present to show how loyalty can be achieved.
The civil officials have spoken, and the generals will naturally follow. When the Manchu Dynasty had to donate generously to both civil and military forces, the originally astronomical military expenses were now a joke. As for the Wa State, it was very unfortunate to become the target of the domestic contradictions in the Tang Dynasty. Whether it is the emperor or the noble group, they are all dissatisfied with the depression of the previous days, and now that a qualified punching bag is sent to the front, how can they let it go!
"Since all of you Aiqing want to contribute, then the household department will count it, this expedition, the treasury will not participate, correspondingly, the merits of the soldiers will also be distributed according to the efforts of each family."
Hearing the emperor's words, Fang Yiai and the others immediately smiled. Military merit, for the current Datang, military merit is about to become a legend. At this time, no matter which family has obtained military merits, it is an extremely glorious thing. What's more, the military merits have been issued, which represents a lot of opportunities, and the twenty-three families have been dismissed before, and vacant positions have appeared everywhere in the country, so it is just this opportunity to install their own people.
This is the emperor's sudden suspicion of this time, and he proposed a disguised apology, and Fang Yiai is clear, but he will not find out.
Seeing Fang Yiai and the others smiling, Li Chengqian also breathed a sigh of relief. Slapping a sweet date is something that an emperor must learn. The panic caused by the dismissal, although unwilling, can only be speeded up by reward.
After this matter is confirmed, there is no reason to drag the court meeting. After the dispersal of the dynasty, Fang Yiai and others got together to leave the palace, as the top nobles of the Tang Dynasty, they needed to coordinate together to contribute reinforcements this time, and the proportion occupied by each family. And Di Renjie was just about to visit his master, but he was left behind by his senior brother.
The emperor rarely summoned foreign ministers in the harem, but Di Renjie would not be classified as a "foreign minister" under any circumstances.
In the imperial study, Di Renjie and Li Chengqian sat down one after another to taste the flower tea of local tribute.
After drinking a cup of tea, Li Chengqian opened his mouth: "Senior brother, let's talk about it in private, senior brother, I have been very depressed in the past few days. ”
Di Renjie naturally knew why the emperor was worried, put down the cup and said: "This is something that can't be helped, don't suffer from widowhood and unevenness, this is a common truth in ancient and modern times, although the expenditure of our court is sour now, but when the projects are completely completed, the ensuing income can increase the income to a terrifying level." If nothing else, the railroad operation that Master sold you alone can completely improve the current situation. ”
Outsiders can only see the increasing prosperity of the Tang Dynasty, but they don't know that the current imperial court is the poorest time, and even a soldier has to covet the money in reserve. As for the reason, it is the project carried out by the whole Datang at the same time. The railway is a good thing, with it, Datang can be firmly locked by the line, whether it is external invasion or internal turmoil, it cannot set off wind and waves in the face of this solid bondage.
It's just that with the development of the railway, the original turtle-speed highway construction has taken off like wings. With the transportation of railways, the transportation of materials is very convenient, and the speed of road construction is accelerated. As a result of the speed of road construction, even the current imperial court is overwhelmed. In the face of those people who were looking forward to the construction of the highway, Li Chengqian could not bother to stop several lines no matter what.
After pouring another cup of tea, Li Chengqian sighed and said: "Being on the throne, you do have supreme authority, but you also work hard to the extreme. Huaiying, I have a headache, you must not tell the master, lest he worry about the old man. ”
Di Renjie nodded, but no longer said any comforting words. He knew that Senior Brother Emperor just needed someone to talk to now, and he didn't need too much comfort to come out of his depression. It's just that the senior brother asked him to keep his headache secret, but he was helpless. He had persuaded his senior brother not to fight so hard more than once, but his senior brother didn't listen to him.
Di Renjie listened to the emperor's complaints in the palace, and Leng Feng listened to the emperor's complaints at home at this time.
Since it was decided to send troops to the Japanese state, the forbidden army secret guard and other organizations have taken action to quietly eliminate all the Japanese people living in the Tang Dynasty. Although the dragon of Datang is sleeping now, it is still necessary for the hyena group to send one or two cannon fodder to monitor it. Every year, the envoys who go to the Tang Dynasty to pay tribute will always lose one or two for some reason.
These people who were lost thought they were completely integrated into the Tang Dynasty, but they didn't know that since the moment their feet stepped out of the Honglu Temple, at least four eyes were staring at them almost day and night.
Since you want to close the net, you must do it thoroughly. For this reason, Zero specially visited Leng Jing to get control of the shadow guard.
The shadow guard also has its own news channels around Chang'an, and Leng Feng did not hide this matter from Li Shimin, and Li Chengqian has always had the power to command the shadow guard.
It's nothing to ask for the command of the shadow guard, and the apprentice's actions still have to be supported. But Zero, the bastard, came to Leng Feng to visit and thank him, which made Leng Feng smoke.
It's not good when to come, just come here when Li Shimin lives here!
The crisis was resolved, Li Shimin and the Queen Mother reconciled, and they were already preparing to return to the palace, but when they heard that they were going to send troops to the country, Li Shimin's saliva flowed out.
"I don't care, rather than stay in the palace and slowly decay, I prefer to die on the battlefield, no one should persuade me!"
Li Shimin, who learned the news of the troops, immediately wanted to go out with the army, and no one could persuade him, even when the queen mother spoke, he grabbed the teacup and threw it over. But fortunately, there is still a bit of rationality, looking at the teary eyes of the eldest grandson Empress Dowager, Li Shimin did not throw it out.
As a person gets older, although his IQ will not degrade too much, his words and deeds will degrade in the direction of children.
How can an old man who is about to die go to war?
Li Shimin didn't care, smashed the tea set that Leng Feng liked, and claimed that if he didn't agree, he would starve himself to death on a hunger strike.
