After the middle of September, the weather turned cooler, and the osmanthus flowers in the forbidden garden bloomed, and the fragrance was wafting for ten miles.

The sound of the piano is long, accompanied by Xue Qiongqiong's gentle singing.

"I don't know the heavenly palace, what year is it tonight?"

The woman dancing on the stage has a cold temperament, just like Chang'e in the Moon Palace, it is Concubine Mei Jiang Caiping.

Jiang Caiping's dancing posture is different from Yang Yuhuan, less charming and pretty, more elegant and mournful, as if she wants to fly away with the wind at any time.

As the tune changed, Li Longji, who was dressed in a white silk robe, stepped down from the stage to dance with her, his clothes fluttering, just like an immortal.

After a song, the charm of the song has not dissipated for a long time.

Gao Lishi held a big hat in his hand, trotted forward, and draped it on Li Longji.

"The saint doesn't catch a cold."

"General Gao, how about seeing this newly choreographed dance?"

Li Longji was in a good mood, and while speaking, he took Jiang Caiping's hand, draped the big coat on her, and gently patted her fragrant shoulder, and said softly: "Mei Jing danced well." ”

Because Jiang Caiping loves plum blossoms, he jokingly called her "plum essence".

"It's the saints who make it up well."

"It's a pity that it's too short, and the dance is not fun. I want to expand it into 36 sections, called 'Autumn Laurel Palace Song'. ”

When it comes to music, Li Longji is extremely insightful.

Xue Bai could only sing a new word, but he could study the myriad variations in it.

was talking happily, and suddenly in a blink of an eye, he found that Yang Yuhuan had arrived under the laurel tree at some point, and he couldn't help but reproach Gao Lishi.

"It's too real, and General Gao didn't say it earlier."

In fact, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty occasionally deliberately puts on a low posture to coax the beauty, which is a little fun.

Because Yang Yuhuan's temperament is a bit powerful, few people in the palace dare to lose their temper like her.

Li Longji smiled: "When did Taizhen arrive?" But what about my new choreography? ”

"The concubine is not worthy of looking, after all, Concubine Mei is more like Chang'e than the concubine."

"Each has its own merits, and there is no need to compare." Li Longji smiled more and more heartily, and said, "Wait for me to make up a dance ...... that is more suitable for Taizhen to dance."

Since this dance is more suitable for Jiang Caiping's cold temperament, she has to dance. This is an elegant thing, unlike the fact that the mundane affairs of the DPRK and China are almost the same as those done by anyone, and his musical attainments are extremely high, and he has insisted on it.

Yang Yuhuan was still unhappy, so he turned around and left.

"Eh, that's so bothersome." Li Longji persuaded him with good words: "How about calling your sisters to play cards today?" ”

"The saint doesn't have to bother to coax me, I am not talented and arrogant and jealous, and my mother's brother is still arrogant, which makes the saint tired, just let me go home."

"Why are you still angry?"

Li Longji asked with a smile and said to Gao Lishi: "Xue Bai is still locked up?" It's no wonder I haven't seen the monkey's story for a while. ”

The so-called "something good at the top, but something will be very good at the bottom", although the story was written by Xue Bai, he only wrote a little bit every day, which was not very interesting. Many people follow suit and desperately write stories for the saints to see.

Recently, Li Longji has no shortage of stories to read, such as "Guangyiji" several bizarre stories every day, such as "The Legend of the Mysterious Monsters of the Western Regions", which is a story imitating monkeys, and "The Continuation of the Green Messenger" is a love story written completely according to his taste...... Behind the scenes, all forces are searching for talents, in order to curry favor with him.

There are so many saints, and if you give more to this side, there will naturally be less.

"Hui Sheng, still locked up in Jingzhao Mansion Prison." Gao Lishi said: "This case is clear, and it is not appropriate to openly show favoritism. ”

"It's even difficult for the Son of Heaven to do it?" Li Longji sighed, "It's really not annoying, it's just a few more days, and it won't hurt that kid in the slightest." ”

He could see that Xue Bai was behaving again, deliberately making a big deal about his personal grievances. Once or twice, he felt fresh, but now he is also annoyed. And Yang Yuhuan recognized a handsome little Langjun as his righteous brother, and he was a little unhappy in his heart.

Of course, Li Longji has a big bearing, he has no intention of pursuing it, he is too lazy to care, he will teach Xue Bai a small lesson, and he will be more restrained in the future. He knew that the officials of the DPRK and China had their own proportions, and they would not embarrass a person who was concerned by the saints.

Yang Yuhuan was annoyed and said, "That's because the concubine is ignorant." ”

She took advantage of the opportunity to compete with Jiang Caiping and be jealous, but she dared to throw Li Longji's face, drop a sentence, and lead a group of palace ladies to leave.

Li Longji got angry, pointed to her beautiful back, and said: "General Gao also saw it, pampered and arrogant, if I am always used to her, I will be even more lawless." ”

"The saint is angry." Gao Lishi hurriedly smiled and said: "Presumably, the concubine was a little uneasy when she saw Concubine Mei dancing well." ”

Saying this, Li Longji's anger quickly subsided, and he laughed self-deprecatingly: "I am a dignified son of heaven, I still have to coax her." ”

There are countless officials in the world, and most of their names are unknown to the saints. But if some people can climb the nepotism of the concubine, the saint can often think of him; If he can be a relative of the concubine again, then when the saint wants to coax the concubine, he will be of great use......

~~

Xue Bai has been in prison in Jingzhao Mansion for a few days.

He was taken care of, but he was not greatly wronged.

The most bitter thing is Da Xi Yingying, who inexplicably suffered from this unwarranted disaster, and it was very inconvenient to be in prison. The originally fair and clean skin was stained, and there was always a strange sense of shock in the eyes of others.

She felt that she couldn't sit in this prison in vain, and she had to take the opportunity to gain Xue Bai's trust, and she always had to talk to him.

"Lang Jun, the slave family is more uneasy than us when they see those jailers, presumably Xiao Jiong can't bear it, but I don't know why he refuses to let us go?"

Xue Bai was squatting on the horse, opened his eyes and closed them again, and said, "It's okay to tell you." ”

Da Xi Yingying was overjoyed, thinking that she had finally passed the test and became his confidant, so she couldn't help but squat over and listen closer.

Xue Bai only said one word.

Da Xi Yingying was stunned for a moment, a little puzzled, and then suddenly understood, and said in a low voice: "I see, the slave family should have thought of this layer earlier." ”

She saw that Xue Bai had no intention of saying more, so she had no choice but to turn to Du Wulang and asked, "Wulang started beating Yuan Zhu at the beginning, did he know about it?" It's really hidden. ”

Du Wulang felt that she had exposed too much, so he hurriedly handed over the robe and replied, "You put it on, that, the weather is getting cold, in case you get a cold." ”

"Thank you." Da Xi Yingying took the robe and said naturally: "Gorou help me." ”

Du Wulang was a little panicked, a jailer came over in the corridor, opened the cell door directly, he hurriedly stepped forward, his tone was much more natural, and asked, "Liu Dian Prison, but you want to release us?" ”

"Jingzhao Mansion Prison can't entertain Goro, and Ling's case has been transferred to the Criminal Department."

"Really? I haven't been to the prison yet. ”

"Hey, Gorou is funny again, the Criminal Department will review this case, you don't have to go to jail."

"Haha, then borrow Liu Dian's auspicious words."

……

On the way to the Criminal Department, Du Wulang was chatting with the jailers who came to escort them.

"This chief, I see that you have two more talismans on your waist than the wardens of Jingzhao Mansion Prison?"

"This is used to enter and exit the Imperial City and Shangshu Province."

"Dali Temple only has the Imperial City Symbol, but there is no Shangshu Provincial Symbol."

"Only our criminal department prison is called 'Sendai Prison'."

"I see, no wonder I've never been." Du Wulang said: "I have been to four prisons in Chang'an City, but I don't know that there are twenty-six? ”

Now that the topic was discussed, a few jailers introduced it.

"Among the prisons of one government, two counties and three divisions, the most special is actually Chang'an County Prison, which digs several zhang deep and the exit is covered with large stones, which is called 'Tiger Prison'. In addition, the people detained in Jinwu Prison ranged from the imperial court officials to the Jiangyang thieves, many of whom were extremely vicious; In the east and west, prisoners were held in large numbers and driven to hard labor; The Middle Capital Prison is mysterious, although I have heard of it, I have never seen it; By the way, there is also a small prison called 'Single Willow Prison', which is nameless, but it is the most worth seeing. ”

"Why?"

"Haha, anyone who needs to be beheaded will be taken to the Duliushu Prison first, waiting to be beheaded."

When Du Wulang heard this, he sighed that there was so much attention to the prison in Chang'an City, and ordinary people really didn't know it. At the same time, he also felt a chill in his heart, and he regained his awe.

After entering Shangshu Province, which is located in the middle of the imperial city and covers a vast area, turn west, and the second government office is the Criminal Department.

Compared with the noisy Jingzhao Mansion in Guangdefang, the atmosphere of the Criminal Department is solemn, and the officials who come and go are light-footed. Although everyone just came here to go to prison, they also had a feeling of stepping into the center of the Tang Dynasty, because this place was indeed the center.

They were taken to the class room, and Du Goro looked left and right and asked, "Are we going to settle here?" ”

"Or else? The case is still pending and is awaiting trial here! The main culprit, Xue Bai, come with us. ”

Xue Bai was not surprised, and immediately got up, but went to change into a plain robe first.

~~

Pingkang Fang, Right Prime Minister's House.

Li Linfu was already a little dizzy, and in addition to the long-term sitting on the desk, his energy gradually failed, and he almost fell asleep sitting there while approving the official documents.

"Grandpa?"

Li Xiu was talking about things in the council hall, and after hearing Li Linfu's response for a long time, he couldn't help but ask.

"What?" Li Linfu came back to his senses and asked, "Where did you just say?" ”

"Speaking of the vine." Li Xiu said: "The child asked the craftsman who will be the prisoner, and the Yanxi has been cut down excessively for decades, and the Shengzhou government has to strictly prohibit private felling, so the tribute paper is more expensive. In addition, there is another thing, Yuan Lian is bent on this financial road, and he has sent people to Jiangnan three months ago. ”

"Go and go, hundreds of miles of Yanxi, how many vines and trees can his few people cut down?" Li Linfu said: "The matter of changing the southeast tribute paper to the production of the superintendent has been performed with many methods of throttling the sage, and the sage is satisfied. ”

"Yes." Li Xiu said: "Southeast tribute paper is not too expensive now, a piece of paper costs more than 100 yuan, you must know that a Hu cake is only two yuan. With only this method of reducing expenditure, Grandpa should be able to save thousands of expenses for the imperial court a year. ”

"Magistrates have always made excuses and prevaricated in every possible way. The officials sent to Jiangnan should be selected well and suppressed. ”

"Got it."

While speaking, Li Linfu looked at the next official document and saw that it was a dispatch document from the Ministry of Officials, all of which were positions under the eighth grade. The list was long, and he hadn't had time to look at it in detail.

Suddenly.

"Right Phase! Northwest good news! ”

Li Linfu was taken aback and said, "Wang Zhonghei won?!" ”

A dusty messenger entered the hall and knelt down, saying, "Don't worry, it's not Wang Zhonghei." It was the border supervisor army who sent an envoy to report and capture Lianyunbao! ”

"Good, good, that's good news."

Lianyunbao is the key pass of the small Bolu country, which was originally a vassal of the Tang Dynasty, but dared to turn to Tubo, and the sage was determined to destroy his country. Now Gao Xianzhi is on an expedition to Xiao Bolu, and Bian Lingcheng supervises the army, and he wins the first battle, which is indeed a great joy.

"Hurry up and prepare, the prime minister is going to enter the palace for an audience."

"Whoa."

"Let Xiao Jiong come and see you! Immediately! ”

"Whoa."

Li Linfu hurriedly looked at the several official documents that were being disposed of, stamped them, and immediately went to change his robe.

Before going out, Xiao Jiong hurried over and discussed a few more words with him.

In this way, Li Linfu opened the way to Jinwu and went to Daming Palace to meet him......

~~

Daming Palace.

Li Longji summoned An Lushan today to listen to him talk about the Khitan.

This was originally one of the things An Lushan should do when he entered the court, but after Fan Yang killed people on the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, the sage seemed to have snubbed him for a while, so that even this kind of official business was delayed.

And taking advantage of this time, there were also many sounds of attacking An Lushan that fell into the ears of the saints.

"See for yourself."

An Lushan picked up a piece of music with some difficulty and read it, and his face changed greatly.

The chapter pointed out an old incident, saying that An Lushan had no merit for the border, but was guilty of a great crime.

More than ten years ago, Li Yi, the king of Xin'an, conquered the Xi people, won a big victory, and the king of Xi led his troops to surrender, moved to the mainland, and sent his eldest son Li Yanzhong into the court as a hostage. Six years after the death of King Xi, An Lushan asked the imperial court to let Li Yanzhong succeed him, and Li Longji married Princess Yifang to Li Yanchong, and worshiped Rao Le Du Du and King Huaixin. As a result, in order to forge the border work, An Lushan invaded the Xi tribe several times, burned, killed and looted, causing Li Yanzhong to kill Princess Yifang in the fifth year of Tianbao and raise troops against the Tang Dynasty.

After saying this, the sentence of this letter became more and more intense, pointing out that Li Yi and Wang Zhongsi used troops abroad to determine peace for more than ten years in the First World War, for example, Wang Zhongsi also went north to Yanmen, and won three battles and three victories at the Sanggan River, so that the entire army of Xi and Khitan was annihilated. Why did An Lushan sit in the northeast, and the good news continued, but the rebellion intensified, even to the point of stationing two or three hundred thousand troops on the border to guard against foreign invaders?

"Lushan harbors evil intentions, and raises self-respecting?!"

When his eyes fell on this column of words, An Lushan's fat hand shook, and he fell to the ground, and he was so frightened that he knelt directly on the ground.

"Your Majesty! The minister is guilty, but the minister has not thought about raising his own respect, please let His Majesty remove the minister's two towns and make the envoy, and the minister is willing to serve in Chang'an and serve His Majesty! ”

He didn't have a word of defense, and the first thing he showed was his attitude.

Everything is still under the control of the saint, and the saint can remove him from his office at any time, as long as the saint wants to.

Li Longji said: "You only have these defenses? ”

An Lushan raised his head, extremely sincere and frank, and responded: "The minister's wish is to return to Chang'an. ”

"Don't say it's useless, I want your explanation."

"But I don't know how to explain it."

"Say!"

An Lushan scratched his head with some embarrassment, and said: "The minister is a Hu person, he doesn't know the etiquette, and he really often robs foreign tribes, which is different from the Han border generals." led hundreds of thousands of troops to sweep through the Turkic war, and the ministers ...... It's useless, you can't call. ”

He got to the point.

Li Yi and Wang Zhongsi are powerful, and they led the army to sweep Mobei, but the military expenditure is also large, and the threat is greater. The reason why Li Longji used An Lushan was that An Lushan was different from these Han generals, who could take the initiative to attack and consume foreign captives without threatening the center.

According to these officials, let Li Yi, the king of Xin'an, command 300,000 troops to sit in the northeast? Let's see if Li Longji can sleep peacefully all night.

"On the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, the soldiers under your command dare to kill Jin Wuwei in Chang'an City." Li Longji said, "How do you explain? ”

"It's the minister's fault, the minister should have dealt with those stubborn soldiers by military law, and then asked the saint for his guilt."

"Nothing else to say?"

More than 20 days have passed, and the East Palace has been desperately attacking An Lushan, in addition to the twists and turns like Fang Cai, there are also various conspiracies, thinking that Li Linfu and An Lushan killed those Hui people and planted the East Palace.

Li Linfu has been attacking the East Palace and Wang Zhonghe, insisting that those Hui people have a relationship with Wang Zhonghe, indicating that the East Palace secretly contacted foreign vassals, and then killed people and killed people, with ill intentions.

Recently, all parties have even thrown out some other news to clear their suspicions.

Li Longji usually doesn't care, but now that he remembered it, he planned to see how An Lushan responded.

"What to say?" An Lushan muttered: "Some people say that Pei Mian was also killed by the ministers, but the saint asked about it?" ”

"Say."

"The minister hasn't done it, so he sent ten boxes of wisteria incense to the right minister, please be the right minister."

Li Longji laughed angrily, and then asked, "Then what do you think is going on?" ”

An Lushan shook his head, leaned over, and said with a serious face: "The minister didn't think about this matter, the minister was finally able to come to Chang'an, and he just wanted to make the saint happy and repay the saint's kindness." ”

He knew very well in his heart that it was Donggong, Wang Jie, Xue Bai and others who were teaming up to deal with him, but he never mentioned it, nor did he try to clear his grievances.

These days, he hasn't done anything except go to the Right Prime Minister's Mansion to hum and chirp.

Because he knows that doing too much is wrong, no matter what he does, he is adding to the sage, and he is a loyal minister like him, who only has a saint in his heart, and he doesn't care about being wronged, he only cares about the mood of the saint.

"Stand down." Li Longji said.

An Lushan was stunned for a moment, and said: "Kechen hasn't reported on his work yet......

"Tomorrow, I will hold a banquet in Xingqing Palace, and I will play while drinking." Li Longji kicked An Lushan lightly, "Don't get up yet." ”

"Hu'er thanks the grace of the saint!"

An Lushan was overjoyed, supporting his fat body, but he didn't get up for the first time, and rolled on the ground.

"Hahaha."

Li Longji was amused and laughed, and the atmosphere in the hall suddenly became cheerful.

~~

In fact, Li Longji hasn't asked about the intrigue of these subordinates these days, there are 40,000 beauties in his palace, and it's too late to eat, drink and have fun.

Now that the matter was almost over, he took a look and saw another group of ugly people.

Among them, on the contrary, An Lushan, who was the ugliest, did not show his ugliness, and only cared about coaxing him to be happy.

Even his own son can't do this, it's too far behind......

Thinking of this, the smile on Li Longji's face faded, and it was covered with a layer of emperor's majesty.

"Sage, the right phase has arrived, come to play the good news of Lianyunbao."

"Call." Li Longji said: "Summoning Xue Bai as well." ”

"Yes."

After a while, Li Linfu came to see him, and immediately said after saluting: "Congratulations to the saint, Lianyunbao has won a great victory, and the prestige of the Tang Dynasty is far away!" ”

Li Longji's reaction to this was indifferent, and his expression was cold, "A small country, dare to betray me." I want the chieftain of Little Bolu to kneel at my feet and weep and repent, and then it will not be too late for the right minister to congratulate me. ”

Li Linfu was stunned and responded: "Obey the order." ”

His answer was very attentive, meaning that there must be a day when he would congratulate him in obedience.

Li Longji was used to winning battles, so he was not much interested in it, so he drank a glass of wine casually, and said in a casual tone: "Why is the right minister really unhappy to provoke him three times?" ”

"Your Majesty." It is extremely rare for Li Linfu to dare to reply once, and saluted: "The minister handles the state affairs for His Majesty, and he should put the public heart first, and it is not appropriate to take into account the wishes of the concubine in everything, if the concubine is deceived by a traitor, the minister has no reason to connive." ”

Although he couldn't recognize all the rare words, he could grasp the sage's mind very keenly, knowing that the sage might not be very satisfied with the matter of the concubine's recognition of the righteous brother, because Xue Bai was much more handsome than An Lushan.

"Jingzhao Mansion took Xue Bai, the minister does know about this matter, the facts of the case are clear, the evidence is conclusive, and Xiao Jiong's verdict is no problem." Li Linfu said: "On the contrary, it is Xue Bai who has repeatedly played tricks and tricks, and he does not take the minister in his eyes at all. It doesn't hurt for the ministers to be humiliated, the face of the Tang Dynasty can't be damaged, and the law and national prestige can't be damaged. ”

"Got it."

Li Longji smiled, gave Li Linfu a glass of wine, comforted him, and said with a smile: "This matter is indeed Xue Bai's fault, the right minister taught him a lesson, it should be, and now the pass is closed, it's almost." ”

Li Linfu held the wine glass in both hands, but his face became solemn, and said: "Your Majesty, the law of the country must not be abolished because of people, please hand this case over to the three divisions to judge impartially and according to the facts." The sky can be learned, and the minister has no selfishness! ”

This chapter is divided into more than 5500 words, which leads to my second chapter being a little less, so I will write it for a while and send it later~~
