Chang'an City, inside the Imperial Palace. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

An attendant held a secret report and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, there is a secret report from the Supervision Department......

"Put it down!" Lu Chengqi didn't raise his head, and continued to review the folds.

Recently, there have been a lot of troubles, and some unscrupulous businessmen have disrupted the market order with shoddy goods.

"Hmph, isn't it just that official business!" Lu Chengqi said disdainfully.

The so-called official and commercial is a unique noun of Dashun, which is different from the imperial merchant and the private merchant. The imperial merchant is very well understood, that is, the imperial village, which is the emperor's private treasury. Folk businessmen are ordinary businessmen; Officials and businessmen are people who have people in their families who are officials in the court and hold power to do business.

Since ancient times, officials and universities have crushed people to death, and officials and businessmen have done the same. Relying on the advantage of tax exemption, they will fight a price war on price, or they will be shoddy, short and short, and specialize in illegal things.

These officials and businessmen thought that there were 20,000 people in Dashun, and if this person didn't buy it, there would always be a fool who bought it. That is, the government and businessmen can do this, and the imperial merchants are Lu Chengqi's private treasury, and they are also responsible for the expenses of national welfare such as welfare homes, solators, and drug administrations, and it is impossible to dig the Great Wall by themselves. Not to mention the private business, if there is no integrity, they will be struggling.

was upset, Lu Chengqi suddenly caught a glimpse of the attendant still standing there, and frowned: "Why don't you retreat?" Hey, Gao Ho, how did you get back? Didn't I let you serve the prince! ”

The chamberlain was Gao Hao, and said respectfully: "The prince has returned to the palace, and the queen asked the little one to inform His Majesty......"

"The prince has returned to the palace? Isn't he going to school, and what is he going to do when he comes back? Lu Chengqi said a little stunned.

Gao Hao said respectfully: "Your Majesty, have you forgotten, today is the day of rest, and Mengxue is the same......"

Lu Chengqi patted his head: "It turned out to be a holiday!" ”

After thinking about it, Lu Chengqi still felt that he would not go to Kunning Palace, and the folds were still half a person high, and he might not be able to complete the approval in the afternoon. "In this way, you let the prince come to the arch hall!"

"Yes!"

Gao Hao was about to retreat, but Lu Chengqi suddenly stopped him: "Wait, how has the prince been doing recently?" ”

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has been like this recently, and no one in Mengxue knows his identity......"

Lu Chengqi said lightly: "I am asking, what did he learn at the Royal Military Academy?" ”

Gao Hao suddenly knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, the little one is ten thousand dead!" ”

Lu Chengqi was stunned: "What's wrong?" ”

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has to learn from those Royal Military Academy cadets, generally go out to exercise, train, say that it is to hone the will of the muscles and bones, and the small ones can't be persuaded either!"

Lu Chengqi was the first to hear about it, and his heart ached first, his son is only seven years old this year! Then I felt a burst of comfort, the heavens will descend on the people, and they must first suffer their minds, strain their muscles and bones, starve their bodies and skins, and deplete their bodies, and act chaotically. Therefore, it is tempting to endure and gain what it cannot. The heir of a country can carry the luck of a country on one shoulder, which proves that he has the country and the people in his heart.

What is a qualified prince? Lu Chengqi thinks that his son is!

"Don't do your business, what you did is right, but what the prince did, I am very relieved! Arise and call him. Lu Chengqi said slowly.

As if he had been pardoned, the pickaxe trotted out of the arched hall.

Lu Chengqi put aside the letter submitted by the Suzhou Zhizhou, picked up the secret report from the Supervision Department, picked up the fire paint, took out the code book, and began to translate. The secret report was not long, and Lu Chengqi translated it by dividing it by two, and it was connected in one sentence: "Emperor Liao wants to invade the south, and Yelu Yixin designs to block it." ”

Lu Chengqi was secretly frightened: "This Yelu Hongji, is he crazy?" Just after fighting with the Jurchens, he still dared to provoke Dashun? Is it really the Great Shun, or the Great Shun ten years ago! However, this was beyond my expectations, just like when little Japan invaded China, who would have thought that he would suddenly make a move? However, there is a huge difference in strength, and even if the Khitans are caught off guard, they will not be able to make any waves. No, the Khitans are wolf ambitions and have to guard against it. I still have to ask the Privy Council and the Military Staff to come and study how to secretly increase the number of troops......"

Thinking of this, Lu Chengqi immediately got up and looked at the world map.

"Linhuang Mansion to Datong Mansion and Youzhou, there are five days away. These five days are calculated according to the speed of horseback riding. If the Khitans were to attack the city, they would definitely bring baggage, grain and grass, and foot soldiers. In this way, the speed will definitely slow down. Just like the southern prisoners of Yelu Chongyuan, it took more than 20 days to send troops to Youzhou City. Although the logistics supply of the Khitans is relatively close, my arrangement in the Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun for so many years has not been in vain! Lu Chengqi knew in his heart that Huangzhuang had been secretly hoarding military rations, equipment, blades, and armor for the army for so many years, scattered among the various state cities in the Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun.

Although these materials are allocated from the treasury and the ordnance supervisor, they can be more hidden from the eyes and ears of the people through the way of Huangzhuang. There will never be more than ten people who will know about this.

Lu Chengqi didn't believe it, the Khitan people could learn such a critical secret!

"Now it's time for the forbidden army...... Lu Chengqi said to himself, "Once the forbidden army is in place, it's too late for the Khitan people to cry and call their mother!" ”

"Daddy, who wants to cry daddy and call mother?"

An immature voice sounded, Lu Chengqi turned around, but saw a villain in a purple robe, standing in the hall with a smile.

"Xu'er, are you back?"

"Well, Daddy, Mu Xiu today, Mr. is going home too......"

Lu Chengqi looked at the son in front of him and found that he had lost some weight and darkened, and his skin did not look like the skin of a seven-year-old doll, and his real face was still a little chapped. As a parent, where can you not feel sorry for your son, Lu Chengqi only felt that his nose was a little sour, walked in front of Lu Houxu, and stopped him into his arms: "Daddy asked you to stay away from the palace, away from your mother, do you complain about your father?" ”

"At first, I was a little resentful, but then I didn't complain......" Lu Houxu is also rare to be like an ordinary child, he threw himself into Lu Chengqi's arms and was coquettish, happy in his heart, and accidentally told the truth.

Lu Chengqi touched his face distressedly, his chapped skin was no longer as tender as a child, but had a rough feeling: "Why don't you complain?" ”

Lu Houxu is a child in the end, and said with a smile: "There are not so many people in the palace to play with me, and there are not so many people to study with me, it's too boring." ”

Lu Chengqi was stunned, he didn't expect this. Human beings, after all, are still social animals, and if they don't return to the group, they don't know what their psychology will be distorted into.

"And I know that Daddy is for my good. Before, I didn't understand why my father said that our Dashun was still in crisis, but now I understand. Daddy, don't you know that in Chang'an, in Jingzhao Mansion, there are still such poor people! They eat bran and can't eat a meal of white noodles all year round, but they also work hard, not necessarily worse than others, why are they so poor? I thought about it for a long time, and then I realized that it was those landlords who were bad, and the tenant rents were so high, and they had to pay off their debts, so they had to live so hard......"
