Luo Zhaoyun took Ruyi to visit Empress Xiao, in fact, Ruyi didn't want to come, not that she didn't want to see her mother, but she didn't want Her Majesty to meet her again.

Ruyi still firmly believes that it was a misunderstanding, His Majesty drank too much, and he just regarded Empress Xiao as her at that time, so he dragged him to meet, worried that the queen mother would be embarrassed and touch the 'human' injury.

"Your Majesty has arrived—"

When Empress Xiao heard that His Majesty was coming, her expression was very unnatural, and she was even a little panicked, but she quickly dressed up and then went out to greet her, pretending to be calm on the surface.

"See Your Majesty."

"Mrs. Xiao doesn't have to be polite, today in Laba, the family in the palace gathered, but I didn't see Mrs., I heard Ruyi say that you are not feeling well, I came to visit, I don't know where Mrs. is uncomfortable, do you need a doctor to come and cut the pulse?"

Empress Xiao thought to herself: This enemy, I hurt somewhere, and I wasn't tossed by you, but after a few days, she recovered, and now she is mainly sick of heart, and she doesn't want to see Luo Zhaoyun to avoid embarrassment, and she doesn't want to be seen by him.

"It's just that I have a little headache and brain fever, I have already drunk the medicine, and I am fine, and His Majesty Lao is bothered to worry about it."

Luo Zhaoyun nodded and said, "That's good, looking at Madame's expression, I believe that it will be completely better soon." ”

Ruyi and Empress Xiao glanced at each other, and their faces were slightly panicked.

Empress Xiao's face was a little embarrassed, because the irrigation that night had nourished her a lot, and the whole person seemed to have improved, a lot of ruddy, and the nectar after a long drought was moisturized a lot at once.

Ruyi also knows it, but the more this is the case, the more aggrieved I feel in my heart, what kind of chaotic relationship is this, if it doesn't work, it must be stopped, find a way to let the queen mother temporarily move out of the palace, avoid the two of them seeing each other again, otherwise His Majesty will know about the relationship that night, how to face it in the future.

Fortunately, he learned that the eldest sister was coming to live in Chang'an, so that she could accompany her mother.

Luo Zhaoyun took this opportunity to look at Empress Xiao, her figure and face were still as good as thirty-four or five, she looked mature and noble, her charm was still there, her skin was full of elasticity, and she was ten years younger than her actual age.

That night, it was extremely romantic, and everything was silent.

After chatting for a while, the atmosphere was awkward, Ruyi made an excuse to say that he was sleepy, and pulled His Majesty back for a lunch break.

With the advent of the New Year, the operation of the Dahua court institutions became more and more skillful, and the civil and military officials fulfilled their responsibilities, and the national strength was thriving.

Several universities are also expanding their recruitment of talents, and announced that the first round of Dahua's imperial examination will be held in the spring of next year, and the number of places is very large.

Although there was a imperial examination in the Sui Dynasty, the number of places was very small, more than 20 people, after the selection of the Ming Jingke, it was not reused in the end, because the gate valve still controlled the vast majority of the paths of the official career, and it was difficult for Emperor Wen of Sui to change that state, and he simply abolished many local colleges and interrupted the imperial examination in the later period.

After Yang Guang ascended the throne and moved to Luoyang, he had to break the monopoly of closing the gate valves, shake their foundation, and resume the imperial examination, but within two years, because of Emperor Yang of Sui's various great undertakings and the northern tour and conquest of Liaodong, the imperial examination was delayed.

On the basis of the Sui Dynasty, Luo Zhaoyun increased the number of scholars and the scope of scholars, and took advantage of the blow and heavy blow to close the door valve, and took the opportunity to support a group of rookies to break the monopoly of the old nobles.

During this time, the eldest grandson Wuji and others issued an order to seek talents, digging around, co-opting, and recruiting celebrities.

And some major events such as the armory, smelter, black coal mine, and Qianshan iron ore mining near Chang'an City are also being carried out in an orderly manner.

Before the end of the year, there was another major event, that is, Tubo suffered a major snowstorm, because it was heavily damaged by Dahua in the past, its vitality was greatly damaged, and there was a tendency to split internally, so it sent envoys to Dahua, and Xineng was able to conclude an alliance and no longer hostile and crusade against each other.

This is also in Luo Zhaoyun's interests for the time being, so he thought carefully and drafted a contract between Dahua and Tubo, equality and mutual assistance, and the following conditions must be met:

First, there should be no crusade against each other, a truce of 10 years, and no mutual invasion or self-disturbance.

The second is to establish a mall pool, choose between the border between Tubo and Dahua, the two sides jointly fund, Dahua is responsible for the construction and design, Tubo out part of the labor force, jointly completed, the city trade animal skins, grain, sea salt, weapons, etc., business travel profits extract one percent of the tax, tax Tubo and Dahua equally divided.

Third, Tubo wants to raise war horses for Dahua, no less than 20,000 horses per year, and Dahua will purchase them according to eighty percent of the market price of the grassland.

Fourth, Dahua opened a school in Tongshangyi to teach the Central Plains script, as well as the Four Books and Five Classics, to spread civilization and knowledge for the grassland.

Fifth, there should be a city lord in Tongshangyi, who is responsible for managing the city, including construction, road planning, macro-control, etc., and the main city lord must be an official sent by Dahua, and the deputy city lord should set up two people, and Tubo and Dahua each have one person.

Articles 6 and 7......

Luo Zhaoyun wrote all the details he could think of in it, which seemed fair and just, and Tubo would happily agree, because they had the opportunity to learn from the Central Plains, but Luo Zhaoyun's goal was to use this cultural cannonball to completely assimilate Tubo, and then use it to lay a good foundation for the future unification of the southwest.

Imagine if in the Sui and Tang dynasties, the Tubo assimilation, handed over to the Tubo people the four books and five classics, qin, chess, calligraphy and painting, wise self-preservation, the golden mean, these feudal ideas, to corrode those fierce wolves on the Qinghai Plateau, docile their character, no longer barbaric and rude, not without civilization and primitive, maybe decades later, the nomadic tribes that kill and loot everywhere, unruly behavior will be gone, replaced by returning farmland to forests, enclosing land for farming, embarking on the road of literature and art, developing tourism, and incorporating the land of Tubo into the Chinese territory earlier.
