It's night.

Wannian Palace.

In the official residence.

The eldest grandson Wuji listened silently to Luo's report, and was silent for a while.

Liang Jiu Fang Dao:

"In this way, King Han actually intends to ambush the Lord in the Fengquan Soup?"

"Exactly."

Ah Luo gritted his teeth and said:

"I didn't expect this thief to be so bold and dare to commit such a crime, but the master, in Aro's contempt, did not act as virtuous as he did every day......

Could there be something else going on? ”

The eldest grandson Wuji looked at him, and then shook his head and said:

"If it's strange, it's not surprising.

After all, the current state of the lord's rule has become more and more stable, and this is not a good thing for him.

What's more, with the addition of a Wu Meiniang, the control of the middle palace is flourishing.

If he does not quickly create some troubles that will cause uneasiness in the DPRK and China, I am afraid that it will be even more difficult if he wants to act in the future.

In fact, the lord had belittled him out of Beijing in the name of recuperation, which had already attracted the suspicion of those ministers in the court who had a close relationship with him, and it could not even be said that he was not a great helper, and gradually drifted away.

Now that the lord's handling of Persia's request for help is stable and victorious, the courtiers have a clear distinction in their hearts, and the lord's political situation is stabilizing, how can he not be in a hurry? ”

Ah Luo nodded, and said lightly:

"Then master, do we have to set up a way to solve this matter secretly?"

"There's no hurry."

The eldest grandson Wuji shook his head slowly and said:

"The old man has already said before that from now on, government affairs must gradually return to the hands of the Lord, which is the right way.

Since we want to gradually return to the Lord, then these things naturally have to be done by the Lord himself.

All you have to do is get the news into the palace. ”

Ah Luo nodded, knowing that the eldest grandson Wuji also had the intention to test the ability of those shadow guards.

After saying this, the eldest grandson Wuji asked again:

"Wu Meiniang, what's the movement?"

"For a while, but there is no ......

However, I heard something today, saying that His Royal Highness the Acting King seemed to have done something terrible a few days ago, which made Wu Zhaoyi very worried. ”

The eldest grandson Wuji raised his eyebrows:

"What?"

Ah Luo told the eldest grandson Wuji in detail about Li Hongshu Zhu's matter from the eyeliner that had been placed in the Great Treasure Hall early in the morning, and said:

"Master, it's okay for His Royal Highness to be so smart in this generation, but why is Wu Meiniang so worried?"

"She's worried?

Is her concern true or false, or is it just a matter of words? ”

The eldest grandson Wuji sneered, and his eyes were sharp:

"At present, the prince is soft and cowardly, although he has the golden mean, but he has no virtue to be a king.

Everyone and others are all looking at it, and they all know that once there is a better candidate for the prince than His Royal Highness the Prince, the position of the prince is not impossible.

It was because of this that the concubines in the court never stopped-

Then Concubine Xiao Shufei still refuses to give up, isn't it because she still has a Yongwang Sujie in her hand to fight for?

And this Wu Meiniang is naturally unwilling to be lonely.

Why don't you want to compete for a position, you just want to get away......

Since ancient times, the only person who can really say that he is saying these eight words without the slightest distraction is the first queen.

She......

It's better to save it!

From the moment His Royal Highness the King was born, she was afraid that she would never stop thinking about using this child to take the throne! ”

When Ah Luo heard the words of the eldest grandson Wuji, he somehow remembered the woman he saw indifferently when he entered the palace in the dark night, and he opened his mouth to speak, but he didn't know how to say it.

So there was silence.

After a long time, the eldest grandson Wuji sighed and said:

But there is one thing, she has a sincere love for Hong'er, the child.

What's more, she said it well, once such a thing came out now, it would only make it more difficult for her.

So this thing may not have been deliberately done by her.

If she hadn't done it on purpose......

That Hong'er, this kid ......"

Halfway through speaking, the eldest grandson Wuji stopped and said softly:

"Although this matter is small, it has become subtle, and you have passed on the words of the old man, no matter what, you must make this matter invisible.

Got it? ”

"Yes."

The next day, in the afternoon.

Wannian Palace.

Lotus pond side.

Because the weather is getting warmer, the water in the lotus pond is drawn from the soup pond, and it is because of this late spring weather, there are several white lotuses lightly.

Early in the morning, Mei Niang hugged Hong'er, led by Minghe and a group of guards, and came to the lotus pond to see the demeanor of the white lotus that bloomed early.

After looking at it for a while, Li Hong screamed excitedly, and reached out to grab the lotus flower that seemed to be close at hand but was really far away.

So Mei Niang stopped Aiko with a smile and looked at Minghe.

Ming He immediately understood, put a painting boat, arranged a group of waiters, and invited Mei Niang to take Li Hong to move to the pool, and watched those little palace ladies take another lotus picking boat to walk through the lotus leaves in the field, and play by picking lotus.

Li Hong was on the shore, and saw the white boat color clothes from a distance, disappearing from time to time in the green lotus leaves, elegant and interesting, and he was really happy, and he actually took a selfie with his little hand and giggled.

Mei Niang saw that he was happy, and her heart was also happy, so she went to the boat with Minghe and picked up a few lotus flowers from a small lotus boat that received Minghe's order and quickly sailed back to the shore.

As soon as the bowl of dew-dyed white lotus arrived, Li Hong immediately smiled even more happily, his small hand wiped his head, but he couldn't stop the head from being round and big, and his small hand covered his face, but the corners of his eyes and lips were exposed, and his smile was like a treasure......

In the end, seeing that he couldn't stop himself from laughing, his mother looked at him with a smile, so he simply smiled, hugged the white lotus and threw himself into his mother's arms, and refused to come out again to let people see his innocent smile.

Mei Niang saw such a child's innocence, and she couldn't stop laughing.

At this time, Li Zhi had finished his political affairs, and because he could not have a wife and a son in the Great Treasure Palace, he came here from here.

From a distance, he saw Mei Niang on the painting boat dressed in plain clothes, holding the same plain gold crown, holding the white lotus in his arms and giggling Li Hong, his heart was soft for a while, and he actually felt ......

Or, as Mei Niang said, it is not a bad thing to only teach Hong'er to achieve a free prince in my life.

……

Afternoon.

The Great Treasure Hall.

Hearing that Li Hong had fallen asleep, Li Zhi finally breathed a sigh of relief, so he went to hug Mei Niang, who came out of the inner bed, and said with a smile:

"This kid is really naughty.

When I was young, I always ate and slept and ate......

Now like this, I don't know who it looks like? ”

"People often say that the son is the father, and the daughter is the mother......

Naturally, it seems to be enough Jiro.

Presumably when Jiro was young, he was also so sleepy, lazy, and more coquettish? ”

Mei Niang was rarely happy today, so she deliberately made fun of Li Zhi.

Li Zhi was very happy when he saw that his beloved wife was finally relieved, so he deliberately teased her, shouted wronged, and begged for his own amusement.

When the husband and wife were in harmony, they suddenly heard hurried footsteps outside the hall.

Li Zhi was very familiar with the footsteps when he heard this, and his brows furrowed.

Sure enough, it didn't take long for Li Feng to hurry in and salute Li Zhi.

Seeing this, Mei Niang signaled Minghe to retreat with her eyes, and she wanted to go to bed inside, but she was pulled by Li Zhi and said lightly: "You stop and listen." ”

Mei Niang had no choice but to comply.

Li Feng was not surprised, but he just watched Ming Heqing retreat from the crowd before he got up and said at Li Zhi's signal:

"Lord, in the boundary of Quanzhou, something strange has happened recently, and one after another, it is very strange.

When the minister found out, he thought that there seemed to be an inside story, so he asked the lord to show it. ”

When Li Zhi heard the word Quanzhou, he immediately turned around and looked at Li Feng, and said lightly:

"Quanzhou?"

"Yes. In recent days, in Quanzhou, there has been a sudden group of Hu merchants and Hu dealers, all of whom are mainly regarded as true saints, and most of them have relations with the people of Quanzhou.

And it is in the midst of these exchanges that some people actually say that this group of Hu merchants and Hu dealers are all here to eat Persia, Tocharian and other countries, and they are intended to find a good land in our Tang Dynasty and live there for a long time......

The ministers were troubled by this matter, and they should make it clear to the Lord. ”

When Li Zhi heard this, he thought about it, but summoned De'an, who was watching the little waiters to manage the sparseness, stepped forward and asked him to take the sheepskin Tang Yu map, and then took Mei Niang's hand and returned to the jade steps.

"How big of a deal is Idang......

But it's just such a place, and it's up to them. ”

Li Feng was stunned, but said lightly:

"Lord......

The matter ...... I'm afraid it's inappropriate?

After all, the relationship between Tocharian and other countries and my Tang Dynasty is not a close relationship, and it is also a person who knows people but does not know their hearts.

If such a person has a different heart......"

"They are Tibet, in this corner of the projectile that is completely separated from the boundless territory of my Tang Dynasty between it and the Tocharian Great Eclipse, what kind of storm can they rise?

If you compare it with a chess game, what is the difference between these displaced people in Quanzhou at this moment and the abandoned children who have been completely cut off from the relationship with Dalong and have no life? ”

Li Zhi smiled faintly.

When Li Feng heard this, he also understood what Li Zhi said, but he still had other worries, so he said lightly:

"The minister is ignorant, but the lord is wise.

It's just that the minister has the courage to ask the lord to know, and when the minister was serving in front of the saint, he also heard the British princess discuss Quanzhou, and said that this is the key place of my Tang Dynasty, and it must not be neglected......

Then this time these Persian eaters and Tocharian exiles entered Quanzhou, will they ......?"

"What you say is also true, and it is not right."

Li Zhi nodded and said with a smile:

"If all these displaced people today are island countries in the sea, just like the Japanese kingdom......

Or like Silla Baekje, it is a coastal area with Quanzhou......

Then I have to think carefully about how to stabilize the situation, and even completely eliminate these displaced people from Quanzhou.

It is only because these small border states can have such foresight and gradually enter the Central Plains through Quanzhou, and in less than a few years, the people of the Central Plains will be affected by it.

The reason is simply because these small states and border countries can be entered at this time, and the follow-up is powerful.

However, it is difficult to enter the distant states such as Tocharian in Persia and Tocharian from the northwest region that is closer to its borders.

How much more is this southeast corner?

If these exiles are deliberately sent into the territory of our Tang Dynasty by the Three Kingdoms and plot against them, then they should not choose Quanzhou, which is completely useless to them.

What's more, although I am in the palace, I have also heard of the great food of Persia, Tocharo and other countries, and the people are good at business, especially good at rare and expensive, and precious for gold......

And this Quanzhou, from the topography, is really the most convenient corner of the sea on the southeast side of my Datang land.

This is exactly the truth of the fishing trees in the offshore fish Xiwei Bay -

It's just easy to eat.

Since the other party is just seeking a harmonious fortune, and these people are trading in my Datang, the picture is that Datang is now becoming stronger, and all countries and states are trying to make friends, and they have repeatedly used Datang as a good place to barter and a good place to survive......

Why can't I tolerate them?

Even if they take a hundred steps back, these people will naturally have to pay some taxes to our Tang Dynasty if they enter the land of our Tang Dynasty to make profits.

In addition, if my Datang protects its benefits, presumably all the people in its country will respect my Datang wholeheartedly, and they will be able to avoid all kinds of troubles on the border......

Why did I stop such wonderful things? ”

When Li Feng heard this, he was convinced for a while, and he retreated.

Li Zhi also immediately issued an edict to give Quanzhou Prefecture a local department, because of its coastal trade, so from today onwards, it can draw up its own rules and regulations, or even pay taxes, etc., and can also have a certain right to take care of itself.

As soon as this edict came out, it immediately attracted discussion from top to bottom in the court, thinking that Li Zhi was quite worried about this time - only the eldest grandson Wuji and others knew about Li Zhi's edict, which was really prescient.

Sure enough, only three or five days, there will be Quanzhou Mansion on the table, first thank God for the grandeur, His Majesty's kindness, and reported to Beijing, the Tao this year because of the sudden increase in the number of merchants outside Quanzhou, the tax income, actually increased more than ten times, for a time can be in the Tang Dynasty this year to pay taxes on one of the richest states, for a time towards the neutrality when the wind is biased, all praise Li Zhi wise, there is such a lead!
