Rule the Roost in the Tang Dynasty: Seven hundred and fifteen winter


Winter is here again, and with it, after crossing the ocean, Yeyue, the princess of the big food country, safely arrived at the long-lost city of Chang'an.

Outside the city of Chang’an, the imperial fertile land that was originally cultivated by the imperial family was already bleak at this time. Looking at the yellow weeds outside Chang’an city, it was the withered land and after the autumn harvest, a small piece of it had just crawled out of the soil. Young grass seedlings ready to be baptized in the twelfth lunar month.

Imperial City Takei will still patrol this large area of ​​fertile land, but in the palace farmed with the people, people have gone to the building after the autumn harvest, and the lively scene will restart next time. It must be spring next year. After opening.

Not far from the wooden palace that was farmed with the people, there is a small courtyard that is also pure wooden. At this time, the smoke is slowly rising from the chimney on the roof, which is regarded as an empty wilderness. , Infused with a trace of humanity.

There is never a shortage of firewood here, and you can even grab enough firewood for several days when you walk out the door. Therefore, Fang Muqing, her two court ladies and the eunuch, living here is quite comfortable. .

It's not that she doesn't want to go back, but that she doesn't know how to deal with people and things in Chang'an after returning to Chang'an.

Now she is no longer a common person, she has restored the identity of Princess Pei, and even the mansion has been provided by the royal family in Xinghuafang in Chang'an City.

But for her, it is better to live in a small courtyard in this desolate wilderness than to live in a deserted mansion compound, which can make her feel warm and real.

Although the two sons are still young, they have now been accepted into the palace. At first, Fang Muqing would be frightened. He was afraid that the prince Li Hong or the father and mother would confine her two sons in the palace. Since then, sever the relationship with myself.

But after the autumn harvest was successfully completed, Li Guangshun and Li Guangren were not imprisoned as she thought. Instead, they had their own palaces like underage princesses in the imperial palace. They could also go to Hongwen Hall, Guozijian studied.

According to the court lady beside him, during these days, your Majesty seemed to plan to spend a few more years, and when the two of them were older, he planned to grant them the county kings.

When Fang Muqing heard the news, her heart was full of unspeakable bitterness, and she didn't know if she should be happy or worried.

What can make her feel happy is that after all, the royal family is no longer a ruthless emperor's family, and in the end it gave her children the rightful status.

But what worries her is that she is still exiled to Anxi’s husband, fearing that she will never see her children in the future. Once the two of them are given the prefectural king, they will essentially be completely separated. The relationship with Li Xian, even... now the life and death of the husband is unclear.

The cold wind in the wilderness is a bit more arrogant than the cold wind in the city. Without the barriers of walls and the control of the streets, the cold wind blew around in the wilderness like a happy child, making the whole wooden courtyard appear It is even more depressed.

The cold wind swept over Fang Muqing's numb cheek, who was sitting in the doorway, leaning on the door frame and sinking into thought, gradually awakening the woman's numb heart with the cold temperature.

"Perhaps I should ask my Royal Highness to try." Fang Muqing leaned up against the door frame blankly, stroked his forehead and murmured: "Yes, by going to the palace If you have the opportunity to see the queen mother, go to see His Royal Highness."

Finally, Fang Muqing's eyes were somewhat brighter, like a drowning person, and finally caught a floating object that could survive.

Two court ladies and two eunuchs hurriedly helped Fang Muqing prepare a carriage and presents, until Fang Muqing walked out of the inner room after finishing dressing, the court ladies pointed to the baskets of baskets after this autumn harvest. The new species left for them to make food, muttered: "Is this enough? If there are more, we will not even have enough seeds next year."

After dressing and dressing, Fang Muqing has less youthful vitality than when she was just married, but she is more mature and stable. The whole person is still a well-known family with a good family education. The feeling of a woman.

Looking at the basket of new species that were regarded as treasures by the royal family members, Fang Muqing's originally straight waist suddenly collapsed: "Put it back. How come these princes are attracted to them? His Royal Highness got it, and now it is used as a gift. Isn’t it a joke?"

This year’s new species is the first harvest. Now, in Chang'an or the entire Datang, they are all rare items, especially after some are used as food, they make your majesty and the queen happy. Praise the prince for making an immortal contribution to Datang.

It is precisely because of this that the Taoist temple where Li Chunfeng originally lived in Cuiwei Palace was given a grand reward this year by Li Zhi for the new species. Moreover, the Taoist school has been repressed by Buddhism and gained some ease.

There is even a tendency to rise up to resist, so now in Chang'an, after the royal family gave Taoism this time, the state of its beauty is about to return to the heyday of Taoism when the first emperor reigned.

Most of the new species need to be left as the seeds for the coming year. Therefore, starting this year, the royal family will regard the new species as a first-level national treasure. It is no exaggeration. The relatives of the royal family will enter the palace this year. The rewards with the queen are no longer some coins or royal items.

Rather, they were all replaced with new species after the autumn harvest. These new species were highly praised by the royal family, and naturally they were favored by royal family members and aristocratic giants, but they suffered from the extremely strict control and supervision of the royal family. It's even harder to get a glimpse, let alone get it.

So whenever Li Zhi and Wu Mei want to reward someone with something, these people will carefully ask whether they can replace the gold and silver jewelry gifts with new crops for this autumn harvest?

So between one and two visits, among royal family members, high-ranking nobles, and wealthy families, as they move around, the gifts in their hands become these new crops.

Even without Li Zhi and Wu Mei's special instructions, these royal family members, high-ranking officials and nobles, as well as aristocratic families, chose to collect these new crops as seeds, and wait for them to get more after they planted them next year. More harvest.

This is also in line with Li Hong’s plan to promote new crops. After all, no matter what era, especially in this era when the general public is relatively ignorant, coupled with the inherent conservative plot of Confucianism, they want to let new things be taken by them. Accepting and then promoting it will probably be an extremely difficult task.

Rather than trying to promote it, it is better to list this as a royal treasure. In this way, it will not only arouse people’s curiosity, but also realize the benefits of new crops in people’s actions. , So as to achieve real promotion.

To govern the country and an state, it is necessary to rely on these so-called literati, wealthy family, or the selection of outstanding talents among them to serve the court, promote and apply some new things, and want to bypass them and reach the people directly. Li Hong does not think this It is very easy.

No matter how tense the relationship between him and the five surnames, seven hopes, and famous families are, when they have common interests as the starting point, the consensus of working together can be reached between each other without words.

In this era, interest will always be a conflict between the court and famous families, and the tens of thousands of Li people have become a balance and bargaining chip between the two.

The tense relationship between Li Hong and the famous family is that His Royal Highness deprived the famous family of benefits and benefited the people of the world. Therefore, this allowed him to have the upper hand in the struggle with the famous family. , The reason why the famous families who are closer to the people in class have been unable to gain an advantage.

The celebrity family is different from ordinary people in that their self-proclaimed superior status makes them disdain to mix with the people of the Li people. Therefore, they seem to be closer to the people than the royal family in terms of class. In his bones, a royal family that does not rule the world is easily recognized by the people~IndoMTL.com~ And in order for the people to enter the government, govern the country, and get rid of dependence on the famous family, Li Hong must benefit from the benefits deprived of the famous family People, in this way, sooner or later, all five surnames and seven hopes will be driven to Anxi, Anbei and other places by him, and then leave the entire Central Plains area to students who are truly loyal to Datang to benefit the people on behalf of the court.

"This is the reason for your armistice?" Li Zhi stroked his beard and covered his body with a blanket. Li Ye sat on the blanket. Li Zhi, who was winking at Li Ye, asked Li Hong casually.

Wu Mei on one side kicked Li Hong's calf: "Are you doing it in your spare time? Your feet are really cheap!"

Li Ye, who was learning to walk slowly, did not want to be tripped on the thick carpet by his father deliberately when he passed by Li Hong.

The heartless Li Ye smirked and didn't wait for the court lady on the side to help him, so he pushed up his small **** and got up on his own initiative, turning his head to the father who tripped him, showing a silly smile.

As for his grandma just kicked his father, the little guy can’t fully pay attention to it now, so he ignored his grandma kicked his father and continued to stagger. Keeping pace, walked to Li Zhi and wanted to pull Li Ye down sitting on the blanket.

Li Zhi smiled and watched Li Ye pulling Li Ye on his knees, helping him from time to time to prevent it from falling, and Li Hong's words sounded in his ears.

"Five surnames and Qiwang entered Tochara this year. Now the city is under the control of Heifang Changzhi and Xue Rengui. Zhang Jianzhi is taking care of the post-war affairs behind him. The weather is freezing and it won’t work without a cease-fire. Food supplies are great. No matter how rich Tang is, the supply line that stretches for thousands of miles is overwhelming." Li Hong nestled in a comfortable sofa. When Li Ye tripped just now, Pei Wanying pinched his waist, and he is still in pain.
