In the Xuanzheng Palace, under the oppression of Li Mao's momentum, Li Linfu and Xiao Song both felt like they were in the cold winter.

"Your Majesty forgive your sins! The minister did not want to deceive His Majesty. ”

Li Linfu fell to the ground suddenly.

"Your Majesty, you know the amount of grain in the city, according to normal circumstances, it can only last until May."

"Since the beginning of last month, smoke has been lit in all four towns of Guanzhong, and there are nearly 200,000 soldiers on the front line, and the daily food needs of these people are astronomical."

"Wei Jian, the minister and the head of the household, calculated that if you want to send these grains to Tongguan, Xiaoguan, Wuguan, and Sanguan, at least 100,000 people need to be transported day and night to ensure the consumption of grain and grass for the army."

"It just so happened that Tuntian was rising in various parts of Guanzhong, and His Majesty's order was also to make every effort to ensure the progress of Tuntian, so the minister couldn't find anyone to transport grain, so he could only let the people in Chang'an City who were not engaged in farming participate in the grain transportation."

Li Linfu's impassioned voice echoed in the Xuanzheng Palace.

After listening to this, Li Mao also understood the difficulties of the ministers in Chang'an City.

"Get up!"

After finishing speaking, Li Mao lay on his back on the dragon chair, closed his eyes and pondered.

According to Li Linfu, almost the entire city of Chang'an has ceased commercial activities.

Maybe it's not just Chang'an City, the entire Guanzhong should have stopped all affairs except farming and fighting.

"This should be the prototype of the planned economy!"

"But the people should call me a tyrant!"

Li Mao muttered to herself in the dragon chair.

There is a poem in later generations: "Life is precious, love is more valuable, if it is for freedom, both can be thrown away".

At this moment, the people of the entire Guanzhong have no freedom.

They all became parts of the huge machine of the imperial court.

It shouldn't be much of a problem to control the people like this for a short period of time.

But if it takes a long time, the people will definitely not be able to bear it, and all parts of Guanzhong will definitely be full of smoke.

There are only three or four million people in the entire Guanzhong, but now they have almost 200,000 soldiers, plus more than 100,000 government soldiers and auxiliaries.

The ratio of ten to one, which is an extremely terrifying number, may be the level of mobilization that Germany and the Soviet Union had during World War II.

According to this proportion, the mobilization in China in later generations would be 140 million troops.

"The war must end as soon as possible!"

After thinking clearly, Li Mao immediately made up her mind to end the war as soon as possible.

When Li Linfu heard this, he immediately thought about it.

Xiao Song nodded and said: "Outside the city of Xiaoguan, there are still nearly 100,000 enemy troops, although Wang Zhongsi has been killed by General Lu Bu, and he has not attacked the city in the past half a month, but they do not retreat, and the nearly 100,000 troops over there cannot easily withdraw to Guanzhong to rest, and the overall consumption cannot be reduced much." ”

Li Mao nodded approvingly and said, "What Xiao Xiang said makes sense, after the imperial examination is over, I will convene all the ministers to discuss together to see if there is a way to solve Wang Zhonghei." ”

"Your Majesty Shengming!"

"Your Majesty Shengming!"

Li Linfu and Xiao Song said at the same time.

"By the way, what did you say in the Xuanzheng Hall before, why is Yang Yuhuan unwilling to tell me?"

After understanding the first thing clearly, Li Mao asked about another thing.

After Li Linfu heard this, he immediately became overjoyed, "Your Majesty, it's a good thing, a great thing!" ”

Xiao Song was different, with a wry smile on his face.

He wanted to say something, but in front of the elated Li Linfu, after thinking for a while, he didn't say anything.

When Li Mao heard that it was a good thing, her expression was much more relaxed, and she asked with a smile: "What is a good thing, worthy of your such happiness?" ”

Li Linfu immediately said, "The minister is Your Majesty, the minister is the Tang Dynasty, Your Majesty, you have a dragon!" ”

Ryuko?

When Li Mao heard this, her face turned green.

It has only been less than three months since he crossed over.

How can a child be born in such a small amount of time?

There is no other possibility than to be a father.

"Ryuko, where? Bring it to me! ”

The fake smile on Li Mao's face couldn't hide the chill in her heart.

As long as someone dares to bring any dragon son over, he will let this person and that dragon son be in a different place as soon as possible.

Li Linfu listened to the emperor's tone and was very puzzled, "Your Majesty, you have a dragon son, and the Tang Dynasty has a successor, why are you still unhappy?" ”

"Fart!"

Li Mao couldn't hold back any longer, and scolded directly: "Are you supposed to be an intellectually disabled person? When I was in the Hidden Mansion, I only pampered Yuhuan alone, and never approached other women. ”

"Since I ascended the throne, for the sake of the continuation of the Tang Dynasty, I have begun to recruit the harem."

"However, it has only been three months ago, and you teach me, what woman only needs to be three months pregnant to give birth to a son?"

"I just met Yuhuan, don't say it's her son for me!"

At this time, Li Mao is like an angry lion, with all his beard and hair, and it looks like he is about to choose someone to devour at any time.

It was the first time for Li Linfu to see the emperor so angry, so he naturally didn't dare to delay, and immediately explained: "Your Majesty, the dragon son has not been born yet!" ”

Xiao Song was also afraid of being angered, so he explained: "Your Majesty, I heard from the noble concubine that the dragon son has just been pregnant for two months. ”

After Li Mao heard this, he also breathed a sigh of relief, secretly thinking that as long as he was not cuckolded, otherwise there would be a river of blood in Chang'an City.

"Did Yuhuan say which lady was pregnant with the dragon? According to my previous promise, if the people of the harem can give birth to a prince for me, then I will make her the queen. Your cabinet should have no opinion, right? ”

Li Mao was ostensibly asking Li Linfu and Xiao Song's opinions, but the expression on his face had made it clear that they had to have no opinions.

Li Linfu was extremely interested, and immediately responded: "This is all Your Majesty's family matter, how can anyone in the cabinet have an opinion?" ”

His words are no different from what Li Longji said before when he wanted to abolish the crown prince.

Li Mao nodded, and was about to praise him, but saw Xiao Song suddenly kneeling on the ground.

"Your Majesty, no! This person cannot be crowned queen! ”

Xiao Song's tone was very resolute.

Li Mao looked unhappy and said, "What? Has Xiao Xiang thought about asking me about my family affairs? ”

Xiao Song hurriedly replied: "The minister doesn't dare, it's just that this woman can't be made a queen!" ”

"Who the hell is this woman?" Li Mao asked angrily.

"This person has already become a Taoist priest, how can he be qualified to be a queen again?"

After all, Xiao Song still didn't dare to say his name directly, and directly used his identity as a Taoist priest to mention it.

"How could it be her?"

As soon as Li Mao heard the word Taoist, he was suddenly struck by lightning.

He didn't expect that hundreds of people in the harem were not pregnant, and the female Taoist priest was actually pregnant.

"Alas!"

Looking at the dark night sky outside the window, Li Mao was silent for half an hour.

"You both go down first! I want to be quiet, remember, don't spread the word about this! ”
