The next day, the crown prince was in charge of the country.

It is rare that the queen of heaven is not seen, and it is rumored in the middle palace that the emperor's dragon body is not safe and needs to be taken care of. This cast a shadow over the psychology of the ministers.

In the court, after the ministers discussed the matter of this year's tax, they dispersed.

Wu Qing came to the Provincial Political Hall under the door as usual, and the deliberations of the Political Hall were presided over by Pei Yan, who was in the middle of the service. Today's deliberation has an additional household secretary Zhang Wenyuan, who is the fourth grandson of Zhang Gongyi in Puyang, because the household department needs to provide some numbers in order to make a plan for the treasury expenditure in the coming year.

Pei Yan looked at everyone, and then said: "Your Majesty is not safe today, and we, as courtiers, should do our best to assist the prince." Today we are going to talk about this autumn's taxes. Zhang Shangshu, you can tell me. ”

Zhang Wenyuan has just been promoted to the head of the household department not long ago, but he used to be a Jinbu langzhong, so he is very familiar with taxation, so he said: "In the Tang Dynasty, except for the border army tuntian, the field tax is about 13 million, the commercial tax is about 12 million, and the other miscellaneous items are about 4 million. The total is about 29 million. ”

When Wu Qing heard this tax, he couldn't help frowning, Tian Fu didn't say anything, this commercial tax is only 12 million, is this a prosperous Datang? After the financial statistics of various places in the first half of the year, as of July, the total amount of money was 30 million yuan, excluding the cost commission of 3 million yuan, and the net profit was 27 million yuan. It seems that Datang really needs a bottom-up reform.

Pei Yan smiled: "Well, yes, it's five million more than last year, so let's discuss what you need to spend next year." ”

The first is the expenditure on military salaries. There is no way to do this, although the border armies in various places have tuntian, but that only solves the trouble of grain and grass transportation. Military salaries still have to be paid. Now there is Tibet in the west and Turks in the north, both of which are the bulk of military salaries. There are also pensions for the dead and rewards for meritorious soldiers, and so on, all of which must be discussed.

The second is the renovation of the palace, which is also indispensable, as well as the cost of dredging the Yellow River and the Luo River.

The third is the material of the hundred officials of the court and the state officials, although they are small. But it has to be drawn out. Of course, what the emperor rewarded was allocated in the inner treasury and did not belong to the treasury.

In a word. The deliberations in the political hall lasted for a whole day, and Wu Qing almost didn't scold his mother.

After the end of the political hall, he hurried into the palace to meet the queen of heaven. Since I have decided to stand on the side of the diva. Then daily check-in is a must.

Entering the Lijing Palace, I saw the queen of heaven following Shangguan Wan'er with a spring breeze.

"Wechen has seen the queen of heaven."

"Qing'er, well, let's be flat, come and take a look, this palace is going to lose, Wan'er, this kid." The diva's voice is full of endless passion.

Wu Qing looked at the back of the day again, and he was really like a widow who had been in a drought for a long time. Every action contains endless style. Looking at the orchid fingers pinching the chess pieces, there is endless tenderness. It is in stark contrast to Shangguan Wan'er opposite, Shangguan Wan'er is like a green apple.

What happens to the queen of heaven?

can think of Emperor Li Zhi in a serious illness, and it is impossible to nourish the queen of heaven. Wu Qing felt more and more that something was wrong, but he still slowly approached.

In an instant, a mature woman's breath penetrated into Wu Qing's nostrils, and Wu Qing felt hot and unbearable.

What kind of character is the queen of heaven, I caught a glimpse of Wu Qing's embarrassment at a glance, and I couldn't help but think in my heart, it seems that this woman needs to be moisturized by a man to be attractive, this child, I really don't know what to think about.

Wu Qing couldn't stand the stimulation, so he hurriedly bowed down and said, "Queen of Heaven, Weichen retired." ”

The queen of heaven wanted to laugh in her heart, but she felt that it was inappropriate, so she waved her hand and said, "Well, in a few days, ask Taiping to come to the palace to see her father, understand?" ”

Wu Qing hurriedly said: "Weichen understands. ”

Shangguan Wan'er didn't know why Wu Qing came and left, which was really rude, but the queen of heaven was not angry, so she didn't suspect him.

After Wu Qing left the palace, he breathed a big sigh, this is too embarrassing! He actually had a strong feeling for a sixty-year-old woman, which really made him a little disgusted with himself. Just as he was about to step out of the gate of the imperial city, he heard someone shouting behind him: "General, please stay." ”

Wu Qing looked back and saw that it was the crown prince Li Xian, who hurriedly bowed and saluted, and said, "Wechen has seen His Royal Highness the Prince." ”

Prince Li Xian looked at this former self-servant, now General Zuo Yu Lin Wei, and couldn't help but think about it, if he had befriended this cousin like his eldest brother Li Hong, what would it be like now?

Now Li Xian is twenty-seven years old, with a short beard on his lips, very neat and sexy, and his appearance is very handsome, and he is from the royal family, so he is quite a bit of royal majesty.

But for Wu Qing, this is nothing at all, if Wu Qing is angry, he can scare Li Xian to death.

Li Xian said: "Cousin, are you free?" ”

Wu Qing was stunned for a moment, from the perspective of the outline, Li Xian is a king, he is a minister, the king has something, and the minister has to be free even if he is not available, but Li Xian actually said such a thing, does he want to win himself over? But Li Xian is the crown prince, if the emperor dies, then the crown prince will ascend the throne, that is, the future emperor, do you still need to be polite to yourself?

"Is there something wrong with His Royal Highness the Prince?" Wu Qing still asked.

Li Xian's face was obviously a little unhappy, to be honest, lowering his status to invite Wu Qing was actually the idea of the crown princess Wei, if he wanted it, he would not invite Wu Qing to the East Palace for a banquet at all, and he would personally invite him.

"This palace wants to invite your cousin to have a few drinks."

After Wu Qing was stunned for a moment, he understood the prince's thoughts, and said: "Since the prince said so, then Weichen will bother." ”

So Wu Qing got on the prince's carriage parked in the corner, not to mention that the carriage was extremely luxurious, just a low couch behind the carriage was enough to show that this carriage was definitely rare in the Tang Dynasty.

Not long after, the carriage entered the East Palace, came to the Yunqi Palace, got off the carriage, entered the palace, and saw that the banquet had been set up, and the palace maids were standing still.

At this time, a young beauty dressed in a gorgeous chest-length skirt turned out of the room, only to see her eyebrows curved, pink face and red lips, a bewitching beauty, Wu Qing was stunned for a moment. I saw the beautiful woman smile and said, "The prince is back, this is the cousin of the martial family." ”

Only then did Wu Qing understand, and hurriedly saluted and said, "Weichen has seen the crown princess." ”

The crown princess Wei sneered, half-concealed her jade face, and said with a smile: "When my cousin comes here, he should come to his own home, don't be polite, in the future, just call my cousin." ”

Wu Qing sniffed the smell on Wei's body and said, "Cousin-in-law Xie." ”

The crown prince Li Xian liked Webster very much, and went into the inner room to wash.

For a while, Wu Qing and Wei were left in the hall, and Wei approached Wu Qing and said, "Cousin, sit down, the prince will come out soon." (To be continued......)
