After arriving at the Royal Palace, Li Xuan didn't have time to visit this extravagant palace carefully, but he went to the front hall to hold a small-scale imperial meeting.

There are not many people attending the meeting, mainly the ministers on duty and walking in the imperial study, there are not many people, and they are also familiar with each other, people who have worked together for many years, and there is no dull topic in the topic of discussion, saying that it is the big court meeting held tomorrow and the stable work in the next few days, plus the joy of moving the capital, so the atmosphere of the meeting is relatively relaxed.

Of course, Wang Wenhua's flattering words are also indispensable, which enliven the atmosphere.

Li Xuan didn't pretend to be cold like before, he looked calm, I didn't hear anything, I didn't say anything, you discuss it yourself, but you must discuss it to a satisfactory result before it can be passed.

Because most of the time, Li Xuan will not easily express his opinions, he doesn't say a word, he doesn't have any expression at all, and those courtiers can't figure out what result Li Xuan wants for a while, so they can only keep tempting and figuring out what they want.

This kind of thing is with boyfriend and girlfriend, the man asks the woman what she wants to eat, the woman answers casually, the man says then let's eat Chongqing hot pot, spicy, strong enough, the woman shook her head, I don't want to eat spicy today.

The man asked again, then let's go to eat Western food? The woman still shook her head, she didn't want to eat beef, she would get fat!

The man asked again, what about going for Cantonese refreshments? The woman still shook her head, it was too light.

The man's heart was annoyed, but he still had to accompany the smiling face: Then your dear, what do you want to eat?

F: Whatever......

And the girl will never say that she wants to eat a bowl of dumplings today, the kind with a lot of meat filling!

Of course, between the monarch and the ministers, the courtiers naturally would not be stupid and ask the emperor what he wanted, which of these courtiers is not a human spirit, the ability to observe words and looks, reasoning and analysis is much stronger than that of an ordinary boyfriend, after making a few mistakes, he can generally know what kind of result Li Xuan wants, and then he will naturally bring the discussion to this result.

After the discussion came out with a unified result, and it was still a result that Li Xuan was satisfied with, Li Xuan would nod slightly, and then say two words: Accurate!

If the courtiers really can't figure out his intentions, then Li Xuan will sometimes come to say that the matter is big, suppress it first, and then discuss it.

Or simply two words: Discuss again!

Of course, this situation generally does not occur, because without Li Xuan's approval, it is unlikely that the courtiers will reach an agreement, as for how to see whether Li Xuan agrees, that is the time to test the skills of many people to observe words and looks.

Generally speaking, on controversial matters, when Li Xuan did not express his opinion, the opinions of the courtiers were also very different, and if you let them negotiate and discuss on their own, it would be impossible to reach any unanimous result, and when Li Xuan hinted or revealed that he agreed with a certain opinion, the courtiers would discuss and argue in this direction.

However, at that time, it was no longer a dispute over direction, but a dispute over other aspects, such as how to implement it, the division of responsibilities and interests between departments, and so on.

And these, Li Xuan just doesn't care about it!

So in many cases, Li Xuan, who was sitting on the dragon chair, was like a clay sculpture, and he didn't talk much when discussing many policies, and the most he said was renegotiation and quasi-playing.

People who don't know the inside story will probably think that Li Xuan is just a puppet emperor with no real power.

But in fact, a group of low-level ministers were all trying to figure out Li Xuan's intentions, and almost every important matter, if there was no nod from Li Xuan, it would be absolutely impossible to take shape.

Without even Li Xuan's nod, the courtiers couldn't even reach a consensus!

This way of controlling the court is actually a common means for many emperors in all dynasties, in short, it will not end up in person, but not in person does not mean that they will not participate in it.

He never speaks on weekdays, but when he does, he is often instructed by Li Xuan.

Bai Yunqi is also the earliest minister from the dragon, and he is also a well-known relative, in the early years when the Tang Dynasty was not very formal, he was still able to lead the army, but then gradually transitioned to the Guards, and then ran to the Privy Council as the minister of ordnance for a period of time, but later when the Tang Dynasty conquered Liangguang and set the capital Zhaoqing, he completely withdrew from the military circle.

First, the identity of his relatives is too sensitive, and he controls the military power, which makes a group of ministers fearful, whether it is Liu Bagou in the cabinet or Zeng Ziwen in the military, they all think that Li Xuan has hinted that it is not appropriate for a relative to be in charge of the army.

Second, to be honest, he was really not suitable for joining the army, so Li Xuan simply let him change careers and enter the cabinet, turning into a civilian official, serving as the secretary of the Admiralty, and at the same time giving him the title of Minister of the Imperial Study.

Although Li Xuan has all the control over Bai Yunqi, he still uses it again, after all, this is the uncle of the country, and he is the benchmark of the royal faction.

In addition, there is Wang Wenhua's sycophant, don't think that the sycophant is useless, in fact, it is very useful, this Wang Wenhua's ability to figure out Li Xuan's mind, among the many important ministers in the court, it is definitely the first, many times, Li Xuan's thoughts can be guessed, and with Wang Wenhua's character, it is definitely flattering Li Xuan, even if Li Xuan wants to pay a private visit to Qinhuaihe tonight, he will raise his hands in favor, and then he will be ready to drive.

Otherwise, what do you think Li Xuan has been doing with him in the imperial study, it is really to listen to a few words of sycophancy, well, although that is also important, but more importantly, this person will always say what Li Xuan wants to say at the right time.

Everyone can use it, the key is how to use it!

If you ask Wang Wenhua to do something practical like everyone else, it will naturally not work, and he is not good at handling any government affairs.

It's not okay for you to let Bai Yunqi command the army, he was born without the talent to lead the army.

In the same way, if you let generals like Hao Bonian and Li Chunjing pat themselves on the back and be a microphone, people can't do it.

Everyone has their own strengths and weaknesses, and as the emperor, Li Xuan has to do something very simple, that is, to put each of them in the right position.

As a superior, knowing how to use people is a very important ability.

After a pre-imperial meeting, Li Xuan had time to take a slow look at the royal palace, and after reading it, he felt two words: luxury!

And this kind of luxury does not only refer to the luxury of the original Wei State Mansion, but also because the Tang Dynasty repaired and decorated this kind of courtyard, and all kinds of treasures are almost placed up without money.

But then again, these treasures really don't cost money, because all of them are things confiscated by the Tang Dynasty, some from the mansions of the major Ming Dynasty vassal kings, and some things from the homes of officials and gentry.

Because it is difficult to judge the value of these treasures and there are many of them, it has always been very troublesome to deal with, although the tax department has tried to sell these things to the outside world to recoup the funds.

But if it's in peacetime, it's easier to sell these things, and the price is okay, but in today's war-torn times, people don't take out a huge amount of real money to buy these treasures in large quantities, and even if someone buys them, the price is often much lower than in peacetime, and this makes those people in the tax department feel that they are at a loss, and then after discussion, they simply transfer it to the Royal Assets Division for processing.

Although the Royal Assets Division has been selling these treasures to the outside world, the number of sales is not large, and the funds returned are relatively limited.

In addition, although the Imperial Assets Division is also short of money, to be honest, it is not lacking to the stage where you have to sell all kinds of treasures to survive, so the people in the Imperial Assets Division simply no longer take the initiative to reduce the price and sell them on a large scale, and store them in the treasury, and some of them are directly moved to the Imperial Palace as decorations, or used as gifts from the royal family to the ministers.

Li Xuan also agrees with this, these things can't be seen or used, and they are worthless in the war, but when it comes to peace and prosperity, they are more valuable again, and when the royal family is short of money in the future, they will sell a batch of returned funds, which is better than selling them at a low price now.

The already magnificent royal palace is even more luxurious with all kinds of rare playthings.

In this regard, Li Xuan is very satisfied, this royal palace is much stronger than the palace where Zhaoqing lived before, so it is worthy of his identity as the chosen son!

The palace is to be luxurious, high-profile and connotative!

After a brief stroll, Li Xuan was in a good mood, and then returned to the backyard to visit the Empress Dowager Bai and Dong Yunyun and others, because of the long journey, although someone took care of them all the way, but the people were still physically and mentally exhausted during the day, but fortunately, they were not sick or anything like that.

After asking for a good meal at Empress Dowager Bai, Li Xuan had lunch at Dong Yunyun's side, and then went to the room to look at Princess Wei'er, this little kid was probably tired of playing all the way, and he was full of naps at this time.

Princess Wei'er directly made a big eight figure, and kicked off the quilt, and her sleeping appearance was quite bad.

After coming out of Dong Yunyun's side, Li Xuan did not stop, but went to see the emperor, the second prince and the second daughter, and also went to see their respective mothers: Concubine Shu, Concubine De, and Concubine Hui.

Among them, Concubine De is the previous concubine of the Wang family, after giving birth to the second prince, she was awarded the title of Concubine De, becoming the only two concubines in the Tang Dynasty at present, and the only biological mother of the two princes, and her status in the palace is not ordinary!
