Li Hong nodded approvingly, Heng Yanfan belongs to the kind of person who is soft on the outside and rigid on the inside, very assertive, and is not afraid of offending his boss and will fight on the basis of reason, so what he said just now has revealed all the points he wants to expound.

The matter of the southwest is the top priority in Li Hong's heart, and even more important than Anxi Tocharo.

If the Land of the Six Edicts is to be completely resolved, and then continue southward, then there must be a path that is flat enough for the army to pass.

However, everyone knows that the terrain in the southwest is complex, the roads are narrow and the cliffs are deep, and the grain and grass are important to pass there unimpeded, giving the army perfect logistical support, and the road is the first priority.

In this way, we can truly achieve a sandwich attack on land and water, so as to truly occupy foreign countries such as the Zhenla Kingdom as our own.

"You are the right attendant of the Ministry of Works, in the shortest time, in the safest way to elevate Wu Sansi and Wu Chenghei, I will support you, but I don't guarantee that I can fully support you, I also have difficulties, you understand, right." Li Hong scratched his head, then shook his head and said.

"The minister understands that the minister will try his best to take charge of the Ministry of Works, and even if he can't do it, he will consider the priorities and ensure that it will not spoil His Highness's affairs." Heng Yanfan was not happy or worried, and there was no joy after the promotion, as if he took it for granted.

Li Hong understood his expression very well, after all, the transfer of him to the Ministry of Industry had already explained that he was going to promote him, and he must have been excited.

Three days later, Li Hong finally appointed Wu Sansi as the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, and Wu Chengsi and Heng Yanfan as the left and right attendants of the Ministry of Industry.

And the happiest people in this matter, except for Wu Chengsi and Wu Sansi, Wu Mei was the happiest, and immediately issued an order, ordering Wang Lou to summon Li Hong into the palace and invite him to dine with the crown princess in the evening.

As for the Tang Emperor, he is now more and more like a "retired old cadre", and when he encounters something he likes and has the same mind as him, he laughs and praises it.

When Li Hong's decision-making is contrary to what he wants, he will scold Li Hong, an unfilial son, and the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty in his Zichen Palace.

And then what should be done next, the big and small affairs in the court still do not interfere, of course, from time to time, accompanied by the personal eunuch Hua Ji, to the door of the province, the province of Zhongshu or the six departments, behind the back of the hand.

As for Shangshu Province, Li Zhi has never stepped into it, such a move even makes some courtiers think that in a few days, when His Majesty will continue to govern the court, Li Zhi is still indifferent, still wandering around the palace idly, never mentioning the matter of governing the court.

Wu Mei instructed the palace maid to prepare a sumptuous dinner, this was the first time she was so attentive to Li Hong's dinner.

Even Li Lingyue, who has always loved to steal food, was ordered by her to be grounded beside her, not giving her the opportunity to intercept the Shangshi Bureau and take advantage of the fire to rob.

Li Zhi looked at some dispensable pieces of music dissatisfied, and looked at the queen who was busy before and after, and his heart was full of disdain and loss, because he had not been so grandly entertained by the queen for a long time.

But what can that little rabbit do? How could I let my queen set up a grand banquet for him with such fanfare? Even his newly choreographed royal songs and dances came in handy, playing and dancing in the middle of the feast.

"Father, did the imperial brother lose a lot of silver to the queen mother again?" Li Lingyue is ten years old, and she still has some baby fat on her face, but because of it, Wu Mei and Li Zhi both love her very much.

"Nope." Li Zhi closed the chapter on the renovation and repair of Luoyang Palace with satisfaction, looked at Li Lingyue, who was like a porcelain doll, and his heart suddenly became stretched and said.

Regarding the newly appointed Ministry of Industry Shangshu allocated a large amount of silver to the general as a supervisor to repair Luoyang Palace, he is still very useful in his heart, although he also does not like Wu Sansi to serve as the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, but what does it have to do with himself?

This is just a matter for the crown prince, as long as he has a lot of his own silver, the rest is allowed to be threatened by his mother.

"Then why is the Queen Mother so happy today, you see, oops...... Didn't you say that the wine could only be drunk when I got married? Why are they all prepared for the royal brother today. Li Lingyue looked at the queen in surprise, carefully looked at the wine in the palace maid's hand, and whispered.

"Thy queen mother...... I have something to talk about with your royal brother, so the dinner is a little richer. In a moment, your Seventh Emperor Brother will also come over. Li Zhi stroked Li Lingyue's hair dotingly.

Now the hairpin on Li Lingyue's head is lost from time to time, whether it is to Hongwenguan or Guozijian, the hairpin, bracelet, and necklace that are worn on the head in the morning will be one or two less when he comes back.

When I asked, I always said that I had lost it.

If you continue to ask where you lost it, people will ask back, if I know where I lost, I will naturally find it back, can it still be lost?

So these days, whether it is Li Zhi or Wu Mei, they don't ask why they lost it again.

Because the granddaughter of Shangguanyi's family in Zhongshu Province, she has been rewarded with various jewelry for various reasons by Princess Taiping of the Tang Dynasty recently.

Yeyue finally left Chang'an City with Saleh, and after they left, Taiyi City was visited by agile thieves for several days, but fortunately, nothing important was ever lost.

Xiaoxue and Xia Zhi, who have been in Taiyi City, told Bai Chun overnight that there have been thieves in Taiyi City in the past few days.

Li Hong was like her in his heart, knowing that this was probably the last unwilling struggle when Saleh left.

But as for the meeting between Saleh and the princess of Dalai, it was still unavoidable, and as for what the two discussed, Li Hong didn't know, but it must be related to the thieves in Taiyi City this time.

Zhang Cambodia and Belus also set off for Anxi shortly after Saleh and others left Chang'an, which made the atmosphere in the court a little tense, and everyone knew that Zhang Cambodia's trip was carrying great expectations from His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

Pei Xingjian also left Chang'an City with his wife and Chen Jingzhi on the same day, and then went south by water from Luoyang to Nanhai to take up his post.

The Empress Dalai still stayed in Chang'an City with other Tang envoys sent by the Japanese State, and went to Guozijian and Hongwenguan every day to study, but the Donggong Chongwen Pavilion, which they had always longed for, still ignored them and did not give them even a chance to enter for a day.

"University", "The Mean", "Analects", "Mencius" and the "Spring and Autumn", "Zuo Chuan", "Ram Biography" in the Five Classics, etc., even the princess of Dalai can come at your fingertips, but she still hasn't found that these are related to the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty.

The weather is getting hotter and hotter, and the Qujiang Pond is even more crowded, and the entire Chang'an City is like a boiling pot of water, crowded with people.

Whether it is the east city or the west market, the original place is no longer enough to meet the demand, a large number of foreign people have poured in, and a large number of foreigners have lived in Chang'an, making Chang'an like a pot of boiling water that is about to overflow the edge of the pot.

The walls between the squares have been torn down a lot, and the construction sites have begun to work in full swing again, and the brick kilns built outside the city are constantly firing all kinds of green bricks and tiles day and night.

The Ministry of Industry walked back and forth with officials at all levels, and even interspersed with some businessmen or officials from Jingzhao Mansion, in short, every building in Chang'an City that will rise from the ground in the future has made officials at all levels of the Ministry of Industry fearful, and no one knows whether there are many violations when the buildings under construction in Chang'an City are exposed.

Wu Sansi didn't feel that it was a pleasure to sit in the chair of the Ministry of Industry at first, and began to push Wu Chenghe, the tacit left attendant of the Ministry of Industry 625, and pushed all the responsibilities to the busy and anxious Heng Yanfan.

Li Hong, who began to walk around the city wall of Chang'an City every day, wanted to tear down the wall of Chang'an City for many years and expand it all the time.

Such a move not only made Wu Sansi and Wu Chengsi frightened, but Heng Yanfan was also worried.

Even Li Zhi and Wu Mei in the Ministry of War, Yushitai and the palace were all scared, and they just endured the sweltering heat of Chang'an City, and pushed the original trip to Luoyang back and again, for fear that Li Hong would get nervous one day, and the city wall of Chang'an City would collapse with a bang.

At this moment, someone is taking Heng Yanfan and taking advantage of the hot and humid time in the past few days to run out of Chang'an, and circle around the city wall, as for the fields outside Chang'an City, Li Hong has also done more to understand.

The county magistrates of Qi County around Chang'an City were also summoned outside the city by Li Hong's hot day, and in a field of green crops, Li Hong asked who most of the owners of the fields were.

Looking at the flat and open green land, Li Hong longed to get up tomorrow morning, which has become a patchwork of houses and trade markets.

At this time, the Royal Bank was naturally taken by Li Hong's side, and if he wanted to build a city and build a house, he naturally needed silver, at this time, the Royal Bank was absolutely indispensable, whether it was borrowed from Jingzhao Mansion or directly invested by the Royal Bank, the grand blueprint had already been presented to them from Li Hong's mouth.

"What is Li Hong going to do these days? The court was changed to once every seven days, didn't this give him more time to covet the city wall? Li Zhi worriedly wore a thin shirt and walked into the Penglai Hall and asked.

Wu Mei straightened up, looked back at Li Zhi, who was a little worried, and then pointed to the sand table next to her: "Look at it yourself, this has been sent to you, saying that when it was sent to your Zichen Palace, you drove it out, so I had to send it to me." ”

"What's the point of this? Isn't it just an excuse to tear down the city wall? I will never say yes! The Tang Dynasty is built by this city wall, and the demolition of the city wall is the demolition of the century-old foundation of the Tang Dynasty! I will not allow it! He, Li Hong, has he forgotten the Weishui Alliance that the first emperor was forced to sign with the Turks? Jingyang is only forty miles away, and Jieli Chen's soldiers are pressing, why didn't they dare to rashly attack Chang'an? Aren't you afraid of the iron-clad walls of Chang'an City? Li Zhi glanced at the sand table and was about to leave, but was stopped by Wu Mei, who was quick-eyed.
