Shangyuan Night.

Ziwei Palace, Wufeng Tower.

On this night, the fire trees and silver flowers never sleep, and the lanterns are like the sea and the people are like the tide.

In the whole Luoyang city, millions of soldiers and civilians poured in to watch the lanterns to celebrate, all the streets, full of lanterns, all over the night market, while watching the lights while shopping, while eating night market snacks, while guessing the lantern riddles.

Praise the parade floats.

Wufeng upstairs.

After the night banquet, the monarch and the minister watched the lanterns upstairs. Many officials noticed that on this night, while watching the lanterns, the emperor summoned his courtiers to talk to him from time to time. Li Jing, Xu Shiji, Su Dingfang, Cheng Yanjin, and later replaced by Zhang Xutuo, Qin Qiong, Shan Xiongxin, and then Luo Siye, Luo Yi, Yi Cunxiao, and Luo Shixin.

There are also Tang Jian, Liu Wenjing, Pei Lian, etc.

Either the general of the town, or the marshal of the Privy Council of the central court, or the famous king of the clan, or the envoy of the vassal.

The sensitive person guessed that the emperor estimated that there would be some big moves next, and it must be the land of the four sides.

And some people think that Anxi Shuai Cheng Biting Jin was promoted to the privy council last year by destroying hundreds of thousands of people in two countries in a row, and speculated that it is estimated that there will be big moves in the border areas this year, it may be Baekje, it may be the party or Tubo, in short, there is an example of Cheng Biting Jin there, and it is estimated that the border marshals around the country will be stimulated more actively.

And the imperial court's financial revenue last year was not bad, and the budget of the army was greatly tilted.

"Whether it is a human slaughter or a demon king, for the emperor, a general who can win a battle and destroy the enemy's country and expand his territory is a good general after all, no matter how many people are killed, it will still have great merit."

"Yes, if today's son is obsessed with martial arts, the commanders of the DPRK and the central government and the generals of the frontier are also extremely radical, and there are constant wars in various places, which is not a good thing, although the country is big, the warlike will die."

"Your Majesty keeps saying that you want to rest and recuperate, but there is no day when there is no war in our dynasty, and there are wars everywhere in the southeast, northwest, and northwest, hey!"

Several scholars were undoubtedly left out in the cold today, first Li Gang was refuted by the emperor, and then the emperor summoned one minister after another to accompany him to watch the lantern and talk, but he did not call a scholar over.

Yu Shinan felt that what the emperor did now was actually similar to Yang Guang of the previous dynasty, the same great achievements, the same stubbornness, but the result was completely different.

Yang Guang reigned for a few years, and the world was in turmoil, tossing the foundation that Yang Jian had accumulated over the years. But today, it is the world that was immediately laid, and in just a few years, the turmoil in the world has ended, and the Central Plains has been restored to tranquility, and even many places are more prosperous than in the past.

But the world seems to be becoming more and more stable, the emperor continues to use troops in various places, levies industrial and commercial taxes, and levies monopoly taxes on salt, tea, wine, horses, sugar mines, etc., and buys and trades, which should make the world resentful, but now it is very stable. Yu Shinan also often visits below, and no one can deceive him, but the result is so.

This makes him sometimes very confused, why is he acting the same as Yang Guang today, but with completely different results?

"Sooner or later, there will be a big hidden danger." Another university scholar, Chu Liang, said.

Cheng Mingzhen, the deputy envoy of the Bohai Fleet, followed his boss Wei Zhongxian to the Wufeng Tower to participate in tonight's banquet, but their rank was low, so they could only stay far away from the emperor's position.

The two of them in scarlet robes are also very dazzling in normal times, but in this building full of purple jade, they are overshadowed.

"I really envy Xu Shiji, last year he fought against Baekje and Wa Kingdom, and his Andong Army did not have our rich results, but now he can get close to the saint and get the saint to drink wine and watch the lantern together, but we can only stay so far away."

Wei Zhongxian didn't envy Xu Shiji, he envied Feng Lishi, the palace supervisor, and those young eunuchs. Feng Lishi is also wearing a purple robe, a purple robe. From the palace supervisor of Sanpin, he can participate in the pre-imperial meeting of the Xuanzheng Palace, and even assist the emperor in dealing with secret folds, this power is enough to be powerful.

"One day, if I can become a palace eunuch, even if I only work for a year or two, it will be enough."

Cheng Mingzhen said with a smile, "There is always a chance, this year, our Bohai Fleet will do a few more big deals, and then the saint will not be rewarded." ”

Wei Zhongxian didn't have such great expectations, after all, the Bohai Fleet was a royal fleet, not the imperial court, to put it bluntly, they were slaves of the Son of Heaven, and if they did well, it was their duty, and if they didn't do well, they would be derelict in their duties. Last year, the Bohai Fleet's achievements could not be said to be unfulfilling, but the South China Sea Fleet was no worse than theirs.

It is said that the South China Sea caravan ran to the Kunlun Sea, Tianzhu Sea, and Persian Sea last year, adding many new trade relations, and earning millions of guan for the emperor in a year.

A black-clad eunuch bent down all the way.

"Wei Zhongxian, the deputy envoy of the Bohai Fleet, Wei Zhongxian, the deputy envoy of the Bohai Fleet?"

The two hurriedly got up in response.

"It's Xiaguan."

The eunuch glanced at the two of them, and the two hurriedly handed over their silver talisman for inspection.

"Congratulations, the saint has summoned you to drink and watch the lanterns."

Wei Zhongxian didn't expect that the emperor would actually summon the two of them over, and he was very surprised.

"I can't imagine that the saint still remembers the slave."

"Just now the sage and Xu Shiji talked about the Andong war, and Xu Dadu said a lot of good things for the two, praising the two for their great achievements in fighting Baekje and the Wa Kingdom, so His Majesty ordered someone to write down the names of the two, which was not just finished talking with Liu Wenjing, the ambassador to Zhangxiong, so he asked the two to summon them over."

"Thank you, father-in-law." Wei Zhongxian cast a grateful gaze, and even touched something on his body.

"What kind of place is this, put away your thoughts." Although the eunuch was of low rank, he directly reprimanded Wei Zhongxian for trying to bribe him.

Wei Zhongxian was reprimanded, and he had to laugh a few times and stop moving.

"Come with me."

The location of the emperor is the best place to watch the lanterns on the Wufeng Tower.

In the square downstairs, someone sang the newspaper, "Luling County presents a performance!" ”

Wei Zhongxian and Cheng Mingzhen came over to meet the emperor.

"Come and sit down and give me wine."

Wei Zhongxian only dared to put half of his butt on the chair, and Cheng Mingzhen was not much better, and the two five-grade scarlet robes sat next to the emperor, which caused a whisper on the Wufeng Tower.

"The performance of the Bohai Fleet last year was very good, you were ordered to attack Baekje and Wa last year, and you broke through the two county towns of Baekje in a row, and also broke through several large islands of Wa and Baekje, and captured more than 100,000 Wa and Baekje people in total. Not to mention that in Rongshanjiang, you also defeated the forward fleet of the Japanese army, which is amazing. ”

"This battle can be regarded as a hard lesson for the children of the Japanese Kingdom, letting them know that I am the Tianwei of Great Qin, and punishing these toads who sit in the well and watch the sky."

"I'm glad I should be rewarded, say, what reward do you want?" The Emperor asked with a smile.
