Zhenguan Hall of Luoyang Imperial Palace. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

The pillars are painted on the wall, the dragon is around the column, the luxury is incomparable, the area is vast, it is one of the best in the palace, there is no other semicolon in the world, it is the emperor's inner sleeping palace.

On the main hall, the two supremes each sit on a hu bed, the male closes his eyes to recuperate, and the female flips through the folds on the next table.

The musicians play light songs and rhymes, a leisurely atmosphere,

Tang Gaozong Li Ye and Empress Wu Zetian together!

Li Ye, the word is good, the third emperor of the Tang Dynasty, the ninth son of Li Shimin, Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, and his mother is the eldest grandson of Empress Wendeshun, the third son.

In the fifth year of Zhenguan (631), he was crowned the king of Jin, and in the seventeenth year of Zhenguan (643), he was canonized as the crown prince, and in the twenty-third year of Zhenguan (649), it was located in the Taiji Hall of Chang'an.

The emperor was born with sword eyebrows, high nose and mouth can swallow the sun (with Hu people's blood), eight-character beard, and the lower beard is thick to the chest, which looks very imperial and majestic.

The queen is round and jade, heroic, and gives men the feeling of being a "rouge tiger" level, and conquering her has a unique sense of achievement!

Just like the big female stars and strong women in later generations, men want to conquer them!

Later generations think that Li Ye is a relatively ordinary emperor, without too many deeds, and at the same time relatively cowardly, the former to his father Tang Taizong, and then to his wife Wu Zetian's light shrouded, without much merit, this is a big fallacy!

The territory of the Tang Dynasty since the founding of the country, with him as the largest, from the Korean Peninsula in the east, the Aral Sea (a Caspian Sea) in the west, Lake Baikal (Beihai) in the north, and Hengshan in Vietnam in the south, his cultural and martial arts are better than his Laozi Tang Taizong and his relatives Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty (grandfather Li Yuan and Yang Guang are cousins), he destroyed the two great enemies of the East and the West during this period: the Western Turks and Goguryeo, and also suppressed the arrogance of the Japanese by the way, in exchange for the friendship of the Chinese and Japanese for thousands of years.

From the conquest of Goguryeo alone, Yang Guang fought three times, Li Shimin also fought three times, both of them were fierce men, Yang Guang was rich, and he had a lot of silver left to him by his father Emperor Wen of Sui Emperor Yang Jian, and he could fight whoever he wanted, but the result was that he couldn't beat Goguryeo. Li Shimin is the founding emperor of the country, the first in the world in terms of cultural governance and martial arts, and he also has no choice but to have a small Goguryeo.

However, this classmate Li Ye, who was considered inferior and incompetent by later generations, defeated Goguryeo!

Later poor evaluation, the origin is because he is sick!

He is dizzy and heavy, unable to see, similar to today's high blood pressure and glaucoma, he can't see the twists and turns, he will be dizzy when he thinks too much, and he can't perform the duties of the emperor well.

Some people may think that it is because of his inability to effectively manage the army that Tubo has become large.

Wu Zetian is a good hand, but the management of the army is not very appropriate, after all, the army is masculine, and the emperor's arrival in the barracks will have a bonus to the army, while the queen is in the barracks, and the effect is completely different.

And then again, although it is said that the political affairs are entrusted to Wu Zetian, Li Ye is not completely laissez-faire, when his body allows, he has been personally handling national affairs, and when his health is poor, he also has to listen to the report, in fact, the power of the government, Li Ye is still very powerful until his death, Wu Zetian will get power and make small moves behind his back, but he does not dare to hide him in political affairs.

The relationship between the two is actually a husband-and-wife shop, and they generally respect each other, support each other, and cooperate happily.

"Alright, stop playing!" Li Ye opened his eyes and waved his hand.

The music stopped, and Li Ye asked with concern: "Mei Niang, do you say anything on the fold?" ”

He saw Wu Zetian's correction of the folds, his brows furrowed, he had never stretched, and it was clear that there was no good goods, so he asked.

Wu Zetian smiled reluctantly and replied, "Jiulang, it's really not good news!" ”

"How?"

"Twenty-three states have reported disasters, and if it weren't for floods, or droughts, locusts are flying all over the sky, and there are gales, and the land is not harvested, and the people are left without food, and then the epidemic and the displacement are carried out!"

The situation is indeed not good, when the Guanzhong is in a great drought, the locust plague is rampant, even the government soldiers have no rice to eat, can only eat elm (tree) bark, very miserable!

She paused for a moment and said, "The head of the household said that the Luozhou area is a hundred dollars for rice!" ”

"Oooh!" Li Ye's face is also difficult to look at, it is now the second year of Xianheng (671), and in the fifth year of Yonghui (654), the corn in the Luozhou area is 11 copper coins per bucket.

Rice is still the same rice, and copper coins are also the same copper coins, but they have risen tenfold, how can the people make a living?

As the two leaders of the Tang Dynasty, the emperor and queen looked at each other and smiled bitterly, knowing the real situation of the Ming Dynasty, because even they were forced to Luoyang by the high prices of Chang'an!

Chang'an has a large number of people, a huge bureaucracy, and a lot of materials, and it was not easy to transfer at that time, resulting in extremely high prices, and even the emperor and empress couldn't stand the high prices in Chang'an!

Luoyang has the former dynasty Yu Ze ---- Cao Yun, the resource-rich Jiangnan region through Cao Yun, the rice grain and silk are continuously transported to Luoyang, stabilize prices, the emperor and the civil and military officials can be safe.

"Mei Niang, you see how the harvest of Laizhou gold (sent to the imperial court by Xiaobao) is, maybe the gold coins ...... issued" Li Ye said hesitantly.

It is good to issue gold coins, the value is high, and the people like it, as long as the court waves gold coins at the merchants: "Bring grain, and send gold coins" The degree of enthusiasm of the merchants is only afraid of fighting to solve the problem.

"Laizhou gold production continues to increase!" Wu Zetian's face was a little happy, this is the gold obtained under her leadership, and it is really cute to see the gold coins, but she said: "The military expenses of Tubo and Goguryeo are subsidized with Laizhou gold, and gold coins cannot be issued!" ”

"Hmm!" The Emperor nodded.

Laizhou gold did help a lot, so that the imperial court had military funds, recruited troops, bought military funds, Goguryeo was fighting, and the Tubo people never dared to fight.

If there is no money, no soldiers and horses, the Tubo people will join the army.

Li Ye didn't say anything, believing that the queen could handle it properly, but seeing that Wu Zetian's eyebrows had been locked, he couldn't help but ask an attendant to take a copy of the book to read, but the result was to report the disaster and apply for a reduction or exemption of money and food, no wonder the queen was unhappy.

finally finished the thick stack of pieces, Wu Zetian's face was already poor and his complexion was unhappy.

Seeing the queen's appearance, Li Ye proposed: "Mei Niang, how long has it been since you went to Princess Qianjin's mansion?" ”

"To her?" Wu Zetian asked puzzled for a while.

"Maintenance!" Li Ye said: "Her private beauty salon is well maintained, I remember you went to her and came back with a radiant face and very good spirits!" ”

"Oh!" Wu Zetian said quietly: "The beauty and maintenance of Princess Qianjin is really good, but it's a pity that I don't have much time to go, so I'll go again when I have time!" ”

"You should take care of it more, otherwise you will always stay in the palace, always doing such and such things, making you feel no better, and it will be difficult for you!"

"Perhaps, let the princess enter the palace with her beautician!" Li Ye is diligent and authentic.

"No need, a gentleman doesn't take the favor of others!" To Wu Zetian's refusal, she muttered in her heart, the emperor wouldn't be aware of something, right?

But seeing that Li Ye didn't say anything anymore, it seemed that he didn't know anything, just just cared.

"Saint! Her Royal Highness! "The chamberlain took another stack of pieces and folded them!

This time, Li Ye thought that he was in good spirits, so he let the queen rest, and he corrected it himself.

In front of the emperor, Wu Zetian maintained his demeanor and let the emperor correct the book, not wanting him to read a few books, so he patted the case and said: "Okay, great!" ”

"What is it? Is there anything good? Wu Zetian asked in surprise, her correction was a headache, but Li Ye, who really had a headache, was a happy event.

Then she heard Li Ye mention the name of "Feng Xiaobao", which made her heart beat at first!

Xiaobao, you almost scared Wu Meimei!

(Xiaobao almost scared Wu Meimei, how did everyone say to compensate Wu Meimei?) Isn't it time to give some recommendation votes, clicks, and add to favorites? ）
