The population of Chang'an City has reached an incredible number, and when the household department and Jingzhao Mansion carefully checked, they were all shocked that the newly built Chang'an Outer City had absorbed so many people in such a short period of time.

But this is an ironclad fact, whether it is the inner city or the outer city, the population of the entire Chang'an City continues to grow, and with this trend, as well as the defense of Jin Wuwei and the Central Army, the entire Chang'an City is like a kingdom, standing on the land of the Tang Dynasty.

It is no wonder that when Li Zhi heard the population number, he inexplicably had a "rebellion" mentality in his heart, if he took such a rich city as his own, and some of his cities that were obviously lagging behind Chang'an were not wanted, and only stayed to guard the surrounding counties of the capital, so that it could become an independent country.

Di Renjie left the Zichen Hall gloomily, he didn't find that the crown prince Li Hong, not far behind him, the reason why he felt nervous from the beginning and sweated in his head was because he knew from the beginning that the queen already knew what she was doing before she could speak.

And as soon as the queen spoke, Di Renjie knew that the general trend had gone, and the queen no longer objected to or questioned any decision of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince at this time, which made him feel an unprecedented worry.

"What are you going to do with him?" Wu Mei watched Li Hong walk out of the study leisurely and asked lightly.

"If you don't deal with it, I guess he's about to be unbearable, and sometimes when people are under too much pressure, it's not bad to go out for a walk."

"Do you think he will? What are you going to do with Prince Zhenla, who has been imprisoned in Dali Temple? ”

"When the time comes, take it away, sign and postpone it, follow the retainers to the southwest, and confront the king of Annan face to face." Li Hong said confidently.

Wu Mei looked at Li Hong, who was eager to try, and couldn't wait to fly out of Chang'an, and asked with a smile: "Did you tell your father?" Will he care about this mess in the court after you leave Chang'an? ”

"There is nothing big about the court now, my father shouldn't refuse, right?" Li Hong was shocked, could it be that the queen mother had already tested his father, and his father was unwilling?

"Then my father ...... him." Li Hong came to Wu Mei, the wrinkles in the corners of his eyes were already clearly visible at this time, I have to say that the years are ruthless, and they will never let anyone go forever, even Long Ma can not escape the wind and frost of the years now, and gradually flashed on her face.

"I don't care about what happens between you, or you can solve it yourself." Wu Mei shrugged her shoulders and looked at Li Hong's gaze, obviously realizing that she was old.

"What? Are there a lot of wrinkles at the corners of the mother's eyes? Wu Mei was a little worried, stretched out her fingers and gently touched the corners of her eyes.

"Not much, in a few days, you and Bai Chun will go to Taiyi City to see, what kind of mask or what, it's good to make, but it's immature, I don't dare to use it for you, you can summon Bai Chun into the palace and ask her, maybe after having your opinion, she can ......."

"What is that for? You talk so much nonsense. ”

"Oh, it's what women use to maintain, delay aging, it's just a psychological effect, in fact, I think ah, as long as you have a correct mentality and self-cultivation, it is the best secret to delay aging and maintain youth, mentality! Mentality! Mindset matters! ”

"You, how can you understand a woman's concern for her appearance, if you're tired, go back to your East Palace." Looking at Li Hong, who was yawning all the time, Wu Mei also knew that he was busy for the Shangyuan Festival these days, and it was time for him to rest.

Di Renjie did not go to the East Palace to meet the crown prince Li Hong on the second day, but before the spring ploughing ceremony, Di Renjie gave Li Hong a letter and chose to temporarily resign and go into hiding.

He wants to go to the corners of Datang, take a walk, and see what has happened in Datang in the past few years, whether it has really made the vast majority of people in the world no longer run to fill their stomachs, or live by selling their children and eating tree bark Guanyin soil.

Scholars, farmers, industrialists, merchants, no matter which class they are, shouldn't be defined by the imperial court for them, even if their status is defined by the imperial court at the beginning, divided into three, six, nine and so on, but don't you allow their status to change?

When scholars are no longer loyal to the monarch and patriotic, when scholars contribute less and less to the well-being of the people and the well-being of the people, and when they are no longer satisfied with the status of the court for them, are these the fault of the court or their own fault?

They no longer maintain the first-class status originally given to them by the imperial court, no longer actively make suggestions and suggestions for the imperial court, no longer take the blessings of the common people in the world as their own responsibility, and think about competing for fame and fortune all day long, lying on the utilitarian book, willing to degenerate, and take it for granted to be their first class.

Is this fair to the imperial court? Why should they continue to maintain their position above agriculture, industry, and commerce when they do not want to make progress? Why can't they be allowed to surpass them? Why can't there be healthy competition between the four?

And businessmen are more and more for the well-being of the people, for the development of the Tang Dynasty to make the greatest contribution and efforts, they rely on their hard-working spirit, and agriculture and industry both to develop the new things of the Tang Dynasty, creating unprecedented wealth, why do they have a lower status than the literati?

There are so many illiterate people in the Tang Dynasty, even if it is the people of Chang'an City, if they pull out two people at random, it is estimated that there will be a person who can't read and write, why do literati never think about how to help them, but despise their existence and humility, and disdain to be with them?

But these illiterate people, haven't they created wealth for Datang? Those who are illiterate in the morning, if they don't get up early, what will Chang'an City look like?

When the literati discovered the novelty of the strange tricks, their eyes lit up, but they thought from the bottom of their hearts that agriculture, industry, and commerce were not worthy of it, but didn't they know that many of the novelties in their hands were all made by others? Why don't people deserve it?

Without the contribution of others, can you have what you want?

With all the imperceptible details in our lives, such as food, clothing, housing, transportation, etc., should the laborers who created and developed these serve the literati after they were created, and then continue to humble their own identity? Is it to be looked down upon by literati?

Di Renjie's mind echoed word for word, when he was in Chongwen Palace, His Royal Highness the Prince's loud words, he didn't understand the connection, why did the class that had existed for many years become completely useless when he came to His Royal Highness the Prince.

Such a novel concept, he could not and was difficult to digest at the first time, but no matter what, the prince's words, when highlighting agriculture, industry, and commerce, did not deliberately belittle the literati, to put it bluntly, he was just fighting for them, the fairness and justice in the mouth of His Royal Highness the Prince.

Therefore, Di Renjie needs to take a look at whether those strata that have not attracted people's attention when the Tang Dynasty is changing with each passing day, as His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said, have made no less important contributions to the development, strength and prosperity of the Tang Dynasty than the literati assisted the imperial court in governing the country.

The position of Dali Siqing is temporarily shelved, give you three years, you come back after three years, I still let you be Dali Siqing, you don't come back, my position in Dali Siqing is naturally held by others, but! You Di Renjie go to prison!

As for why he put himself in prison, Di Renjie knew very well that his disrespect for bypassing him and His Majesty and meeting the queen yesterday was enough to blame himself, so he had nothing to say.

This is the prince's original words, it can be seen that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince attaches great importance to himself and the emperor's grace, although he knows in his heart that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince does not like or even hates himself, but His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is willing to make compromises and concessions that shake the court for a person like himself who makes him hate.

He can imagine how much impact his absence from the court meeting will have on the entire court, but His Royal Highness the Crown Prince resolutely chose to allow himself to resign, and did not retain the position of Dali Temple Secretary for three years.

Watching the subordinates carrying things to the carriage, Di Renjie, who had not been able to calm down for a long time, suddenly faced the direction of Daming Palace under the surprised gaze of the subordinates, and solemnly knelt down and kowtowed to Byrne.

"Master Di, Xiaguan Yuanfang has seen Master Di."

"Are you ......?" Before Di Renjie could pat off the loess at the knee of his robe, he looked at a man in his thirties, with two sharp-eyed people behind him, saluting him.

"Xiaguan Yuanfang is the director of the Criminal Department of the Criminal Department, these two are the directors of the Duguan Department and the Simen Division, and they are under the orders of Lord Shangshu of the Criminal Department, and they will obey the dispatch of Master Di from today onwards." Yuan Fang has a slender figure, blazing eyes, and thick bones in his hands, and at first glance he is a person who practices martial arts.

"Yuan Fang?" Di Renjie looked at the loess at the knee of his robe, and then looked at the direction of Daming Palace, and his pockmarked face instantly showed a knowing smile.

"Okay, I wonder if the three of you have settled down in the family? Follow me out of Chang'an today, and the day I go back, I'm afraid it will be three years later. Di Renjie held the wheel, looked at the three of them and asked.

"Go back to your lordship, before you come, the three of us brothers have been properly settled in their homes, and Lord Xie cares."

"Then we'll ...... Let's go? Di Renjie saw that the last box of salutes had been put into the carriage, and then looked at his wife at the door, waved his hand and got into the carriage.

As for Yuan Fang and them, each of the three of them had a majestic horse behind them, and there were also big burdens on both sides, obviously they had already prepared.

In this case, why don't Di Renjie have a good time and take a trip without nostalgia.

In the Cuiwei Palace in Zhongnan Mountain, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince didn't know when he actually stayed in the Cuiwei Palace, and with it, the officials of the entire court needed to come over every seven days to hold a court meeting.

It could have been handed over to His Majesty to hold a court meeting, but the farmer Li Zhi was very busy with spring plowing and had no time to manage the government, so he rejected the proposal of the crown prince Li Hong.

(ps: It's ahead of schedule today, but it's two shifts, and there's something to do in the evening.) ）
