In a painful feeling, Li Ang woke up, he covered his head, opened his eyes and saw Feng Siniang and Lin Fengshuang, the two of them were sleeping next to him, huddled on a bed, and there was a charming and intoxicating aroma in the light gauze tent.

Li Ang's head was blank suddenly, of course he understood what was going on, at this time the jade man beside him woke up, looked at Li Ang who had opened his eyes, Feng Siniang and Lin Fengshuang blushed and got into the quilt, they are heroes among women, but they are always a girl's family.

Li Ang stretched out his hand and hugged the two of them, he didn't know what to say sweet words, but he knew that from this moment on, he was a husband, Feng Siniang and Lin Fengshuang were his wives, people who would never leave him in this life.

Feng Siniang and Lin Fengshuang leaned on Li Ang, the blush on their faces gradually dissipated, they knew what kind of person the man they liked was, and they were also not uncommon with those love words that deceived the little girl, they just hugged Li Ang tightly, they liked the feeling of being hugged.

After a long time, Li Ang looked at Feng Siniang and Lin Fengshuang who were nested in his arms, and said quietly, "Siniang, Feng Shuang, I don't know if I will be a good husband, but I will try my best to be a good husband." ”

"Hmm!" Feng Siniang and Lin Fengshuang had a smile in their eyes, they would never doubt what Li Ang said, because in their hearts, this man who had become their husband would never look back.

Just when Feng Siniang and Lin Fengshuang were immersed in the wordless sweetness, there was a knock on the door, and then Li Yanzong's voice rang out. "Lord, something has happened."

"This damn bastard." Feng Siniang said lightly in Li Ang's arms. Together with Lin Fengshuang, Li Yanzong was scolded in his heart.

Glancing at Feng Siniang and Lin Fengshuang, Li Ang smiled and gently kissed them on the face, "You guys sleep for a while, I'll go see him and see what happened." He said. He got out of bed gently, put on his clothes, and covered Feng Siniang and Lin Fengshuang tightly before walking out of the room.

"What's going on?" Looking at Li Yanzong's panicked face, Li Ang frowned, in his impression, Li Yanzong rarely looked like this in front of him.

"Lord, the princess of Persia was rescued, and Feng Sha and Qin Feng are waiting in the outer hall." Li Yanzong didn't dare to look up at Li Ang, but lowered his head. His voice was full of shame.

"Rescued?" Leon was a little surprised by the news, but he didn't take it to heart. Just said to Li Yanzong, "I know, you let Qin Feng and Feng Sha go back." ”

"Yes, Lord." Li Yanzong didn't expect Li Angdi's reaction to be so calm, and he couldn't help but be stunned.

Looking at the figure of Li Yanzong in the distance, Li Ang walked to the kitchen. For him, nothing important today is as important as Feng Siniang and Lin Fengshuang, and he knows a little about the people who rescued the Persian princess, but these people are not something he can move.

In the room, Feng Siniang and Lin Fengshuang were in the quilt, whispering, and suddenly the door was pushed open, and then a fragrance of porridge permeated the room. Li Ang closed the door, bringing the cooked porridge and a few side dishes from the ground. sat on the edge of the bed.

Feng Siniang and Lin Fengshuang had already put on their clothes and drank the porridge cooked by Li Ang himself. In my eyes, my heart is full of honey that cannot be dissolved. Leon sat on the edge of the bed, looking at them, always with tenderness in his cold eyes.

"What are you looking at, I've been watching it for so long!" Seeing that Li Ang had been staring at himself and Feng Siniang, Lin Fengshuang blushed and said red.

"Look at you, I don't think I'll ever get tired of watching it in my life." Li Ang smiled, his words made Lin Fengshuang and Feng Siniang bow their heads in shame, and the delicate nature of that bow was the most exciting.

Trist took Qingzhi to push open Li Ang's door, and then they saw Li Ang, as well as the shy Lin Fengshuang and Feng Siniang. Qing Zhi was stunned, and then ran to Li Ang's side, "Brother, shouldn't I call Sister Lin and Sister Feng sister-in-law." ”

Unconsciously, Qingzhi has also grown up! Looking at his sister with a smile on her face, Li Ang touched her little head and nodded, "From now on, you will call your sister-in-law." ”

"Ah Cui, Siniang and I, and the frosty marriage will trouble you Zhang Luo." Leon looked at Trist and smiled.

"Yes, Childe, I will definitely make the marriage lively." Trist replied loudly, he was also very happy to see that Li Ang, Feng Siniang and Lin Fengshuang were going to get married.

Soon the news spread throughout the mansion, Cen Ji was the first to shout, and Li Yanzong, who came back, was also taken aback, and then everyone was happy, after all, this was a great joy.

On the second day, putting on the military uniform of the Hajj Emperor, Li Ang went to Weiyang Palace under the eyes of Feng Siniang and Lin Fengshuang, thinking of the veins and eyes of Feng Siniang and Lin Fengshuang before going out, the corners of Li Ang's mouth showed a light smile.

In front of the underground palace gate of Weiyang Palace, Li Ang met Guo Nu, looking at Li Ang who had changed, Guo Nu just frowned, and then laughed, "Going to do a happy event?" ”

"Well, I'll do it when spring begins, and the eldest brother must come over then!" Li Ang looked at Guo Nu and smiled. Even if he doesn't like to be lively, this lifelong event can't be sloppy, and he won't let Feng Siniang and Lin Fengshuang be wronged.

"Well, it's time to prepare well, if you don't have enough money, big brother can open his mouth here." Guo Nu patted Li Ang on the shoulder, he really regarded him as his younger brother, and he was indescribably happy to see him married.

"By the way, big brother, I don't understand, why can I participate in the Great Pilgrimage?" Li Ang suddenly asked, he had never figured out this question, with his family merits, should he be qualified to participate in the Great Dynasty Meeting.

"The Imperial Dynasty is about to use troops overseas, and your Dark Cavalry Battalion, as an elite secret force under the direct jurisdiction of the Military Hall, is definitely qualified to participate in this great court meeting." Guo Nu looked at Li Ang and laughed, "Who is born in a family, after this great court meeting, there are many opportunities to make contributions, with your ability, it is a matter of time before you start a mansion." ”

While the two were talking, they had already walked into the front of the main hall of Weiyang Palace, only to see that they had been swept clean in front of the main hall. The roads on the left are all civilian officials, while the army generals in black uniforms are all on the right. They are distinct from each other.

Dyed by that dignified momentum, Li Ang also put away the joy on his face because of the marriage, and walked with Guo Nu to the magnificent and vast Weiyang Palace, in the old Han Dynasty, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was in this palace, and the ministers and generals. launched a war against the Xiongnu and set the territory of the Han people, and after the founding of the Great Qin, it was not

There are countless wars that have been fought to the top of the world, a place that is feared and hated by all the nations that the Han Chinese call barbarians.

In the Weiyang Palace, the generals in black clothes stood on the right side, and the civil officials in red clothes stood on the left side, and everyone looked at each other, as if they were just some irrelevant people on the other side. Leon looked at the throne at the top of the main hall. There is no luxury as he imagined, but it is quaint and atmospheric.

With the inner attendant singing the salute. The emperor, dressed in a black embroidered gold dragon robe, sat on the throne under the escort of the soldiers of the black cavalry battalion, "Great Qin Wuwei." "The three commanders of the military hall and the three prime ministers of the cabinet at the top of the left and right turned their voices at the same time, and Li Ang shouted with Guo Nu beside him, without kneeling and bowing, and without the words of 'long live the emperor'. What Li Ang could feel was the belief in the strength of the country's military force in the entire court.

"Please take a seat." The emperor glanced at the military generals in the hall, knelt on the throne, and bowed his head.

In the loud prayer of the ceremonial officer in the inner room, Li Ang knelt down and sat down, and the huge Weiyang Palace suddenly became unusually silent, no one spoke, and Li Ang only felt a solemn momentum.

"Xuan." The emperor looked at the chamberlain beside him and said quietly. The ceremonial officer respectfully accepted the edict handed by the general behind the emperor and read it out.

The content of the edict was simple. There is only one meaning to be conveyed in it, to expand the army. The empire was to restore the number of troops it had thirty years earlier, and to re-establish troops in Persia and other vassal states to ensure the hegemony of the empire.

Li Ang listened to the last word of the chamberlain, and looked at the civil official opposite, he had heard that the current Confucian faction officials had always opposed the expansion of the empire, and stationed troops in other countries, and for nearly thirty years, they had been working to continuously reduce the number of the empire's army and limit its armament.

The edict had been read, and the emperor looked at the left hall to which the civil officials belonged, "Do you have any objections?" The Emperor's voice was not loud, but no one could doubt the unquestionable tone inside.

It's just that although the Confucian officials are not good, there are always people who boast of being hard-hearted, and the Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites got up from where he was sitting, walked to the center of the hall, and after saluting the emperor, he expressed his dissent.

"Pedantic." This is Li Ang's only evaluation of the Ministry of Rites Shangshu who stood up, if you want to stop the expansion of the army, you should start to persuade the emperor from the disadvantages of the expansion of the army, instead of talking about the way of the sage, not to mention that after the founding of the Great Qin, Confucius and Mencius have never recognized the status of the sage, and the sage enshrined by Confucianism is just the same sage as the hundred schools of thought in the eyes of the emperor and the family.

After listening to the long and meaningless exhortation of the Ministry of Rites, the emperor continued to ask, his expression still so tepid that it was difficult to fathom.

This time it was Tobe Shangshu who came out, and he did not directly oppose the expansion of the army, but only listed the military expenses required for the expansion of the army and the current financial situation of the entire empire, in his statement, the financial deficit that the expansion will bring is huge and dangerous, and the economy of the entire empire will collapse in the huge expansion plan.

"In other words, with the current financial resources of the national treasury, the annual shortage of military spending is 120 million gold baht, right?" The emperor looked at the dignified and melancholy Tobe Shangshu and asked.

"Yes, Your Majesty, 120 million gold baht is only a conservative estimate, and if you include the war factor, this figure will be even higher." Tobe Shangshu replied in a deep voice, the expression on his face made people believe everything he said, as if once the empire expanded, it would fall into a complete financial black hole.

In the left hall where the civil officials were, there was a commotion, Li Ang looked at the military generals who were standing up and kneeling beside him, motionless like a mountain, and looked at the three commanders in front of the hall with some doubts, the expansion of the army should be something that the military expects, is it just to do nothing, just watch the civil officials oppose there? Li Ang's brow furrowed, he didn't believe that the three commanders of the military hall would be indifferent.

"Silence!" The emperor's voice suddenly sounded, it was still the same kind of voice without joy or anger, but it suppressed the commotion of the civil officials in the left hall.

"Your Majesty, the minister has a book to play." A loud male voice sounded, and a civil official with broad eyebrows walked out of the left side of the hall. Seeing him walk out, a gleam flashed in Guo Ran and Zhou Ting's eyes, and the Supervision Yuan finally made a difficulty.

"Your Majesty, here are the thirteen investigation documents of the Inspectorate over the past few years, and I would like to ask Your Majesty to take a look." Guan Wenxuan took out a notebook from his arms and handed it to the attendant who came over.

Although the emperor had already known that the Supervision Yuan would be in trouble, he did not expect that suddenly, such a book appeared, and he took it from the hand of the inner attendant, and the emperor looked at it, and his face became more and more gloomy with the reading of the music.

The change in the emperor's face made the civil officials feel uneasy in their hearts, they did not know what was written in this recital presented by the Supervision Yuan, and it made the emperor have such an angry look on his face, and the officials of each Confucian faction began to feel uneasy in their hearts, as if they were choked by some invisible force, as if they were suffocated.

"Okay, very good, this is the official of Daqin, good, very good." The Emperor closed the recital and let out a chilling laugh, and no one would have thought that the Emperor was speaking of praise.

"See for yourselves!" The emperor threw the chapter in front of the door of the prime minister of Zhongshu and did not say another word.

Yin He trembled and picked up the piece in front of him, looked at it, and then his face turned pale, as if he had lost his soul.

"Read it out to all the people." The emperor's gaze forced to look at the prime minister of Zhongshu, and his voice returned to its usual calm, but the prime minister of Zhongshu just bowed down, and there were only those three words in his mouth, "The minister is guilty!" ”

"Since you don't want to say it, then Guan Qing's family, you can say it!" The emperor did not look at the prime minister of Zhongshu who was lying on the ground, but looked at the right governor Yushi who was standing next to the head of the household.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Guan Wenxuan cleared his throat and said the survey data of the thirteen Dao of the Supervision Yuan according to the work of the inspector for several years.

"Thirty years ago, the population of our dynasty was 170 million, and there were 500,000 officials of all sizes in the country, and the annual income was 400 million gold baht, and the official income paid was 30 million gold baht, but now, the population of our dynasty is 300 million, and the number of officials has reached 4 million.

Guan Wenxuan's words were like a pot of boiling oil, dripping into the water, and suddenly exploded.
