The people present were all old foxes who had been in the officialdom for decades, and seeing that the emperor didn't want to say more, they naturally didn't dare to ask any more questions.

"Establish a heart for heaven and earth, establish a life for the people, continue to learn for the saints, and open peace for all generations. These four sentences are really good, and the ministers should keep in mind His Majesty's words in the future, and always keep these four sentences in their hearts. Li Linfu made a guarantee.

Xiao Song also said, "In the future, the minister will take these four sentences as the standard for being an official, and he will definitely live up to His Majesty's teachings today." ”

"Your Majesty, as soon as these four sentences come out, the scholars in the world will be able to find their life goals in the future, which is really a blessing for my Tang Dynasty!"

"This is the word of the sage, and the minister can add it to the sage book in the future."

……

All the officials in the hall clapped their ass, and automatically ignored the scholars in Li Mao's mouth.

"Well, I hope all Aiqing will remember what they said today and don't do anything that goes against their conscience." Li Mao's tone was heavy, obviously not confident in this.

The officials present were all human spirits, how could they not hear what the emperor meant.

"Your Majesty, please rest assured, the ministers will definitely keep these four sentences in mind in their future behavior."

Under the leadership of Li Linfu, all the officials knelt on the ground and shouted in unison: "Please rest assured, Your Majesty." ”

Li Mao nodded and waved for them to flatten.

"Next, I will inform you of the arrangements for the inner court."

"I am going to let Zhang Youfu be the eunuch of the celebrant and the eunuch of the seal, and the prime minister of the ceremonial eunuch."

"Let Zhao Gao be the eunuch of the celebrant and the pen, and replace me to review and read the folds."

"Let Wei Zhongxian be the celebrant and the eunuch, take charge of the affairs of the East Detective Factory, and manage all the etiquette and personnel in the imperial city."

As soon as these three appointments were announced, the officials in the palace did not react much.

Because Li Linfu and Xiao Song have already done ideological work for them.

There must be no loyal and good generals among them, so naturally no one will risk offending the emperor and jump out to oppose it.

Zhang Youfu is Li Mao's personal eunuch Xiaofuzi.

When he heard that he was about to serve as the eunuch of the palm print, his face instantly burst into joy.

Although Zhang Youfu wanted to hold this position in his dreams, with Zhao Gao in front, he always felt that he had little hope.

But now, after Zhang Youfu heard Li Mao's appointment, he bit the tip of his tongue lightly until the pain came. He was sure he wasn't dreaming.

"Slave thank you, Your Majesty Hongen!"

Zhang Youfu sincerely bowed to the ground.

Zhao Gao, who was on the side, looked sour.

He originally thought that he was the first person in the inner court, and the emperor would definitely choose him.

After all, he has recently done what he likes and has won the favor of Li Mao several times.

"The emperor must be mediocre!"

Zhao Gao couldn't help but think secretly in his heart, but he said: "The old slave has also thanked Your Majesty for your kindness!" ”

"Minion, thank you, Lord Longen!"

Wei Zhongxian had a deep face and calmly knelt down to thank him.

Even Li Mao couldn't see what he was thinking.

I only vaguely guessed that Wei Zhongxian was not so satisfied with the appointment.

But Li Mao didn't care.

After all, the system has said that the summoned cyborgs will never rise to betrayal.

It's just that it is possible to be blinded by the desires in your heart and do something that is contrary to the truth.

Li Mao thinks that as long as he takes strict precautions, there should be no major incident.

"Ladies and gentlemen, if you don't have anything else to tell, let's stop here today!"

Before I knew it, it was three or four o'clock in the afternoon.

Li Mao had other things to do today, so he began to issue an eviction order.

"Your Majesty, the minister still has something to start alone!" Li Linfu suddenly said solemnly.

Li Mao looked at his posture, as if there was really something very important.

"Li Xiang stays, and everyone else goes down!"

The ministers in the palace and Zhang Youfu, Zhao Gao, and Wei Zhongxian, who had just received official positions, retreated together.

When Xiao Song was leaving, he also took a deep look at Li Linfu.

Both of them are cabinet ministers.

One of them has to play the right game alone, and the other person will naturally guess wildly, and the other party will do something to him in the future.

Li Linfu's expression was very calm.

It was only after the crowd had left and closed the door that he spoke, worried.

"Your Majesty, I'm afraid there is not enough food in Chang'an City!"

After Li Mao heard this, his face did not change in the slightest, because this was completely expected.

After all, the population of Guanzhong is too much, and under the premise that there is no great progress in agricultural technology, it is impossible to feed the hundreds of thousands of people in Chang'an City who are not engaged in production.

"How long will the food in the city last? Let the people save some food, and wait until the spring of next year, when I have my own way. ”

By then, the food problem will certainly not be a problem.

Anyway, the people in Chang'an City can't starve to death!

Because in three months at the latest, Li Longji will send a large army to besiege him.

If this battle is lost, Li Mao will naturally be in a different place, but the people will be able to get the food that has been continuously transported from the south again.

If this battle is won, the temporary crisis can be resolved.

In a short period of time, there will be no force in the area near Guanzhong that can fight with the three thousand Xuanjia Iron Cavalry.

When the time comes, you can go to Hedong to get food, and maybe even Luoyang can be laid.

"Your Majesty is good if you have a plan!"

Li Linfu saw that the emperor had an idea, and his heart was a little calmer.

It's just that he still has a worry in his heart, so he has to continue: "Your Majesty, the people in Chang'an City will definitely be able to eat a little less for three or five months, but the nobles in the imperial city can't eat less!" ”

When Li Mao heard this, she was stunned.

How many nobles can there be in the Imperial City?

Count yourself one!

Count your own women as forty or fifty!

That's not even more than a hundred!

Could it be that the eunuchs and maids in the palace are also nobles?

Thinking of this, Li Mao's brows couldn't help frowning slightly.

"I don't quite understand what Li Xiang means, how many nobles can there be in the palace?"

Li Linfu opened his mouth to explain: "The minister means those concubines of the former emperor. ”

"As far as the minister knows, there are now more than 10,000 people in the entire palace."

"Among them, there are more than 7,000 eunuchs and more than 3,000 palace maids."

Hearing this, Li Mao hurriedly interrupted, "What kind of nobles are these people?" They don't eat enough to starve. ”

"Your Majesty, don't worry." Li Linfu hurriedly explained, "The minister means to say that there are more than 1,000 people in the palace who have been fortunate by the emperor, and these people have been given titles. ”

"Li Longji is really a breeding pig!"

Li Mao heard that there were more than 1,000 people in the palace who had been contaminated by Li Longji, and couldn't help but scold.

At this time, he seemed to have forgotten what he had done.

In just a few days, there were forty or fifty women in the palace who belonged to him.

"Minister......

When Li Linfu heard the emperor scolding his own Lao Tzu, he naturally didn't dare to echo it.

If he said the wrong thing and scolded Li Mao together, wouldn't that be a shot in his own foot?
