After Jingwen and Li Shimin, the emperor, tried to appease him, this Wei Zheng cried very miserably, obviously talking about the pain in his heart. And Jingwen discovered that Wei Zheng actually had such a vulnerable side. He actually felt guilty for his greed for life and fear of death, so he became angry with the so-called foreigners. Of course, if this weren't the case, he probably wouldn't have been able to hold on to it at all, and he might have collapsed long ago. But now that he's finally spoken out, it's pretty good.

Because the ancient teaching of literati has always been to ask them to sacrifice their lives for righteousness, but in fact, how many people in this world can do it? So when Wei Zheng pretended to be dead and avoided being killed, in fact, it was understandable. Because even if he resisted, Wei Zheng would be dead in the face of the huge difference in strength. Therefore, Wei Zheng pretending to be dead to survive may not be an option. However, this is not in line with the values of ancient literati, so Wei Zheng has always been unable to accept his behavior of pretending to be dead in order to survive, and he is still blaming himself for the death of his lover and friend.

But now Wei Zheng has said all the qiē, so Wei Zheng feels a lot better after crying hard. And in many cases, the best way to solve it is to tell the secrets in your heart, which is also the best way to relieve worries. Wei Zheng had suppressed this matter for many years, and I am afraid that the pressure on his soul was very huge, and now that he can say it, it may not be a bad thing for him. So Jingwen also let him rest well, and Li Shimin also agreed that Wei Zheng could give him a few days off next.

"Well, Lao Wei has finally untied the knot in his heart, and he has no objection to these foreigners entering the palace to serve in the Tongwen Pavilion!" Jingwen said.

Since this Wei Zheng's knot has been untied, there is no need to continue to oppose these foreigners entering the palace to serve. In fact, he had just untied the knot in his heart before, which is why he hated foreigners so much. And now that the knot is untied, and the Westerners have no hatred for the East, there is naturally no reason to continue to oppose it. Therefore, Wei Zheng also agreed to these Westerners entering the palace to do things. Anyway, in fact, there are no secrets to keep in these palaces, and these Westerners are only responsible for translating classics, and are not responsible for anything else.

"Maupassant, bring everyone in!" Jingwen said.

Jingwen came to the palace with these foreigners who were going to work in the palace and the Tongwen Pavilion, and these Westerners were obviously like Grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden, obviously they had never seen such a magnificent palace.

"Oh my God, this palace is just too big. Many times bigger than the palaces of our Roman Empire! Someone immediately said excitedly.

"Yes! Before I came to Chang'an, I would never have imagined that there would be such a big palace in the world. It's amazing! Another Roman also said.

Then, these Westerners began to admire the grandeur of the palace. And Jingwen smiled secretly, the Forbidden City in later generations is known as the largest palace complex preserved, so it is well-known all over the world. However, in fact, according to the search of historical materials, the area of the Forbidden City in the later Ming and Qing dynasties was actually very small compared with the palaces of the Han and Tang dynasties. In later generations, the area of the Forbidden City in the Ming and Qing dynasties was only more than 720,000 square meters, but compared with the Taiji Palace, it was a small thing. The Taiji Palace is more than 4 million square meters, which is almost five times the size of the Ming and Qing Dynasties in later generations.

It's just that because the Taiji Palace of the Tang Dynasty has experienced countless wars, it has not been able to preserve. This allowed the Ming and Qing Dynasties to "become famous". And in the West in this era, the palaces in the West are not large, at least not at all comparable with the Taiji Palace. So these Westerners living in Rome never thought that there would be such a big palace in the world. So they all looked surprised after entering the palace of Taiji Palace.

"Everyone, pay attention to your behavior, don't stare at those palace maids everywhere, otherwise it will be miserable to cause misunderstanding!" Jingwen hurriedly said.

Those Westerners immediately reluctantly reluctantly retracted their gaze. Then Maupassant asked, "Lord Jingwen, do you think the Tang Emperor is the richest emperor in the world?" I think he must be very rich, and he must be the richest man in your Datang. ”

"Of course. I, the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, am the richest man in the world! Jingwen began to talk nonsense.

When Jingwen heard this, he thought to himself: "Who doesn't know that Li Shimin, the emperor, is a well-known 'poor ghost' in the Tang Dynasty!" Li Shimin, the emperor, is probably the poorest emperor in all dynasties, and now the treasury is tossed by me every year There is not a few dollars left, if it were not for the various commercial dividends I gave him, then I am afraid that the normal operation of the palace would not be able to maintain. ”

It's funny when Jingwen thinks about it now, because a large part of Li Shimin's court consumption actually comes from the dividends of those concubines in Jingwen's perfume shop, and these dividends are actually for those concubines. And Li Shimin directly requisitioned it and used it to maintain the daily consumption of the palace. And Jingwen was really completely speechless to Li Shimin, this Li Shimin actually wanted to die to save face and suffer the crime. Li Shimin claimed that the treasury spends a lot of money, so he is unwilling to take more money from the treasury. Moreover, in addition, in the past few years, the prospect has given them a lot of dividends, so Li Shimin also boasted about Haikou and said that he would not want a penny from the treasury in the next ten years. But now the consumption of the court is increasing day by day, which Li Shimin did not expect. But Haikou has already been boasted, so naturally there is no way to take it back, otherwise where will the majesty of Li Shimin, the emperor, go?

Therefore, Li Shimin had to rely on the dividends of the concubine to maintain the normal operation of the palace, and refused to go to the treasury to ask for money. Of course, if strictly speaking, Li Shimin, the emperor, is actually eating soft rice now, and letting his concubine's own money to maintain the operation of the palace, what is it to eat soft rice?

Therefore, Li Shimin, the current emperor of the Tang Dynasty, is a "poor ghost" known in the upper class, and the emperor who even needs his own woman to help him with court consumption, is not a poor ghost? Jingwen has always wanted to laugh, but in order to save some face for this Li Shimin in front of foreigners, he didn't laugh.

After all, Li Shimin is also the emperor of the Tang Dynasty and represents the image of the Tang Dynasty. If foreigners know that the dignified emperor still wants his own woman to help, then I am afraid that Datang's face will be lost. (To be continued......)
