said that he became the king of the county, it was a bit too much, but the usurpation was true.

Everyone is in the same capital, if they get along, King Chengjun and Chai Maoda can communicate openly. Meeting through a secret passage can be seen in his intentions.

The emperor's thinking was confused, which showed that he was about to be confused.

Sun Congshan has always positioned himself very positively, and the emperor and Liu Xie discussed confidential matters, so he only maintained a relatively low sense of existence and stood aside.

At this time, seeing that the emperor was really angry, his angry face turned blue, and he hurriedly lifted the pot from the tea stove on the side, replaced it with a new cup of tea and handed it over, distracting the emperor's attention.

Liu Xie naturally saw that the emperor was angry, and hurriedly said: "The emperor is angry, Weichen has sent people to pay attention to Chai Mansion and all kinds of people that Chai Mao interacted with, hoping to find out his comrades." This matter has to be considered in the long run. ”

The emperor is a person who can listen to people's persuasion, picked up the teacup, took two sips, eased his mind, and said: "What Fucheng said is good, just do as you say." ”

Angry and angry, you can't catch Chai Mao and behead him to show the public now, that is called beating the grass and startling the snake, and then being dormant to make a move, which is really endless.

Xu eased a little, and the emperor said: "According to what Fucheng said, this matter is indeed urgent. Even if Chengjun Wang has accumulated some over the years, he will not be able to become a big tool in a short time, and the important thing is that your people will not be noticed when they investigate the case. ”

The emperor still has confidence in himself. If it is peaceful today, I dare not say that the people are healthy and prosperous, but most of them can make a living. As long as he is still in power, there is no reason to launch a coup/d'état, even if someone has different intentions.

There was nothing to do, and Liu Xie retired. Although the emperor was furious, it also proved in disguise that there was a breakthrough in his exploration work, and the deadlock was finally broken.

When only the emperor and Sun Congshan's master and servant were left in Renxin Hall, the emperor flipped through the book he was reading just now, and put it down tastelessly.

Thinking of the fact that there are still officials like Chai Mao in the DPRK and China, I don't know how many there are, holding the book of sages in their mouths, and they are all talking about great truths. But what he is plotting in his heart has always been to increase his official position and seek a higher position of power...... In this way, what is the difference between such thinking and practices and those of the businessmen? It's just that what they're looking for is higher, right?

…………

Seeing that it is the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, this year's Shangyuan Festival can be described as splendid, and the lights on the street are varied and gorgeous.

The previous glass palace lamp, that was the emperor let out the few lights he had and let the people see the rarity.

At that time, the shape of the people surrounded by the glass palace lamp was three layers inside and three layers outside, and it did not disperse for a long time, which did let the people and even many rich families see that the world could also be made of such a divine object.

This year's Festival of Lights, such a grand scene is still there. All kinds of glass lanterns made by various merchants and wealthy families, with endless patterns, sandwich glass, white glass painted patterns, and lanterns made of multiple glass bowls and glass wine cups, all kinds of dazzling brilliance.

The Lantern Festival has three days, there are few entertainment programs in ancient times, and the annual Shangyuan Festival, all kinds of people will come out to have fun.

Those who saw the lanterns on the first day passed on the grand scene on the street by word of mouth. On another day, there were even more people watching the lanterns.

Even people from villages and towns outside the capital have come to the capital if they have the conditions, which has made the capital prosperous and noisy for many years.

Fortunately, the people of Shuntianfu and the Soldiers and Horses Division were prepared, at most they estimated that there were too many people watching the lights, so they canceled the rotation and all the staff went to work to maintain law and order.

Hearing that there was such a grand scene in this year's Shangyuan Festival, the emperor quietly climbed the corner tower in the southeast direction of the palace, looking at the brilliant lights of the capital at night, and there was a kind of pride in his heart.

Although this prosperity is brought about by glass, the appearance of glass has indeed taken out a large amount of silver money from the money bags of the world's powerful and rich.

Wherever the glass was dealt, the homes of the gentry and the eunuchs, and even the wealthy and well-off, were not spared, and all paid enough money in this matter.

The rest are located in remote areas without glass, and there are also people who spend manpower and financial resources to transport them long distances to increase their own façade.

Although the glass merchants have made a lot of profits, the production of glass, as well as the upstream and downstream mining, selection, crushing and other raw material processing, as well as the circulation of finished products and other items carried in the transportation of raw materials, have made the trade of the Liang Dynasty this year show an unprecedented prosperity.

There has been a substantial increase in taxes related to commerce and trade in the relevant regions.

And that's not even counting the indirect financial benefits from telescopes.

If telescopes can be effectively used in the military, the soldiers and civilians at the border gates will not have to be harassed and plundered, and they will be able to farm and operate with peace of mind, and the benefits will be the most intuitive.

Once a war is provoked, having telescopes as a basis for reconnaissance and observation will certainly greatly increase the chances of winning the war. Win and end the war as soon as possible, and the savings in this are definitely huge.

On the one hand, the treasury can increase large taxes in the rise of the glass industry. On the other hand, the military supplies, grain and grass, which are the most costly in the national treasury, can be greatly reduced. In this way, within a few years, the tight state of the public treasury will be alleviated.

The emperor thought about it, and as of now, there are still few products and high prices.

The daughter of the Xia family had better get more of her valuable things, and the people had more opportunities to work and make money, and the powerful and rich were willing to take out the silver in their money bags in order to enjoy luxury, and they could also fill the treasury, which was simply beneficial and harmless.

Well, the idea is still good, the emperor thought.

…………

This year, the Shangyuan Festival in the capital has been very good, and there are many people who come out to watch the lanterns.

But there are also some people who are excluded from this kind of trouble, and the more noisy the scene, the more complicated the personnel.

Naturally, as in previous years, Taisun is nesting in his own house, looking at a few lights, and experiencing the artistic conception of the Shangyuan Festival.

King Chengjun and King Jing and the like, because they have a plot in their hearts, they will naturally be on guard in many ways, and they will not even go to their own lantern shed, but should abandon prosperity and cultivate.

And Xia Ke's family, not long after the Hushan robbery case, naturally will not be involved in danger when the situation is unknown.

Especially Xia Yanqing, knowing Shao Yi's experience in his previous life and some discoveries in his life, naturally he would not take this risk at such a time. In the previous life, there were many people who knew more about the large lanterns with photoelectric fruits, and even if it had a unique ancient charm here, it really wouldn't have too amazing night scenes.

The fifteenth day of the first lunar month passed in this way.

This year, the highlight of the New Year's ceremony on the first day of the new year of the imperial court was moved to the court on the first day of the new year.

Because of the robbery case in Hushan near the Chinese New Year, and the unfinished case of selling officials, the courtiers are actually not very down-to-earth this year.

But the more this is the case, the more everyone has to whitewash the peace, and the praise of the emperor will naturally be more.

Of course, there are normal performances, but what occupies the largest space is to take advantage of the unprecedented grandeur of the Shangyuan Festival this year, all kinds of flattery to the emperor, what is wise and wise, God provides, the eternal prosperity, and the peace of the country and the people...... Don't throw money away.

The emperor understood everyone's thoughts, but he did not stop them, and listened with peace of mind, until many talented courtiers were exhausted and completely stopped, and then he spoke, and said slowly: "I understand the praise of the ministers, and I was thinking about how to praise this situation. ”

"Ah......?" Everyone was stunned.

What's going on? Did they hear it right? Is it actually a compliment? The emperor said that he would praise him!

The corners of the ministers' mouths, eyes, foreheads, and forehead lines couldn't stop twitching.

They just praised the emperor for his wisdom, and when he showed an unprecedented prosperity under his rule, the emperor listened with a frank face), there was no embarrassment at all, and it was obvious that he deserved it.

Isn't it fun to hear them so slippery, and they have to write a big book in the history books, and then do a luxurious worship for this matter?

It's nothing to worship, just go to the Temple of Heaven and walk around. At most, the officials of the Ministry of Rites are busy, and the silver must be spent, but the whole world is the emperor's, so use some silver...... Well, it's a little distressing, and it's a little sad to think that it's so difficult to squeeze out the money that is needed to raise military funds and maintain the river embankment every time.
