Rule the Roost in the Tang Dynasty: Seven hundred thirty-five nights
In the two days before Yuan Dynasty, the Daming Palace became extremely busy. Envoys from various countries were in the Daming Palace waiting to see His Majesty the Emperor of Tang Dynasty.
For many years, Li Zhi, who has ignored government affairs, has been in the Hall of Xuanzheng, or the Hall of Hanyuan where the Yuanri Dynasty will be held every day for the past two days. Together with Empress Wu Mei, he has received envoys from various countries.
The people in the Daming Palace are extremely lively and busy. On the contrary, it is the Prince's East Palace. The entrance and the palace are deserted and sparsely visible.
Any foreign envoy who wanted to see Li Hong alone again before Yuan Dynasty was rejected by the officials of the East Palace.
And the reason is also very righteous: now His Royal Highness is only the Prince of the East Palace. During this period, it is not suitable to meet the envoys. If something happens, it should be the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty.
So, even Dai Zhide, who suddenly rushed back to Chang’an from Tibet this year, and Zamp Mansong Manzan, who was named Zan Pu Mansong, also went to the Daming Palace to see Li Zhi on the first night of Yuan Day. It was not the first time to go to the East Palace to see Li Hong.
Dai Zhide came back this time, naturally at the call of Li Hong, and this time he came back to commend his achievements in Tibet in the past ten years.
At the same time, Ge Xiyuan and Shi Zangjie also rushed back from Anton and Anbei. In addition to the generals who have been using soldiers, the supervisors of the major prefectures also rushed back to Chang'an, including the provincial governors. I will also come to Chang'an to meet Li Zhi because of this year's Great Court.
This is something that since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, as long as the Yuanri Dynasty Association must be used, so the entire Chang'an City is now walking on the shoulder-to-shoulder streets. Maybe the people walking leisurely next to you are Party governor.
Li Zhi took the memorial that Donggong handed him Yuanri. The memorial on it was for tomorrow's meeting. According to Li Hong's intention, he had to add the list of officials and nomenclatures to some officials.
"I really have become a decoration now. This matter is up to him, but I can't get any opinions mixed." Li Zhi sat in the study room of the Zichen Hall, watching the memorials disappear. Several familiar names couldn't help but sigh.
Wu Mei, who was teasing Li Ye, raised her head and looked at Li Zhi who shook her head and sighed, and said faintly: "Which one of the people you want to seal has the hard work of these people? Especially Dai Zhide, Xue Rengui, Heifang Changzhi, Ge Xiyuan and Shi Zangjie, as well as several generals such as Pei Xingjian, Cui Zhibian, etc., these people have made unworldly contributions to the frontiers of the Tang Dynasty."
"I just complained casually, but don't you think I am like a puppet emperor?" Li Zhi put the memorial aside, and Li Ye in his arms began to climb onto the desk with a fine jade pendant. He was thrown on the thick carpet by that little hand.
Li Zhi was not angry. He took the jade pendant picked up by the lady of the palace and handed it to Li Ye again, watching the little guy dangling in his hand until he was about to put it in his mouth. .
"Today, Dai Zhide returned to Chang'an City. He heard that he was at the gate of Xiaoming De, and he bowed down in the direction of the palace, and then the old man cried out in tears: the mighty Tang Dynasty." Wu Mei Said lightly.
"Well, but I guess it's time to go to the East Palace, right? He should see Li Hong for whatever he said."
"In the past two days, Li Hong gave you the emperor, the emperor, who didn’t know, thought that the deserted Prince of the East Palace was abolished by you, and there was no envoy to whom you had met. Even today Concubine Xiao Shu came over and secretly asked her concubine if Hong'er quarreled with you again. Why is Donggong so deserted? It makes people feel a little scared to look at it." Wu Mei said with a sigh.
Li Zhi thought about the difference between the Daming Palace and the East Palace in the past two days, and he was quite sighed, summoning the envoys of various countries and accepting the separate greetings from the envoys of various countries. It should have been his prince in power. , It was not about himself as an emperor similar to Zen, but the prince Li Hong still considered his own feelings and allowed himself, an irreverent emperor, to bear this glory.
"His Royal Highness, Master Dai Zhi De Dai, please see me." Hua Meng appeared in the Lizheng Hall and said, watching Li Hong playing chess with Yan Lingbin.
"Let him wait for me in the study." Li Hong turned his head and glared at Pei Wanying, who was watching the chess next to him. He grabbed Yu's gun and placed it on the chessboard. He said dissatisfied: It’s a gun, you still want to take another one away greedy."
"Your cannon was just eaten by Yan Lingbin. I just played with it in my hand." Pei Wanying's face is comparable to a city wall. When there are no outsiders present, Her Royal Highness does not look like a maternal rite. .
Furthermore, now that Li Ye and Li Ye are spending more and more time in the Daming Palace behind them, this princess is doing more and more relaxed. After learning chess, gobang and go, they start to fight every day. Yan Lingbin played against each other, or he was playing with Bai Chun.
Too lazy to bother to make faces at him, a provocative Pei Wanying, how can you take my expression, Li Hong directly sank the car and killed Yan Lingbin, then got up and comfortably patted Yan Lingbin's beautiful face, and then went to the court lady Accompanied by, walked to the study.
Behind Yan Lingbin looked at the miserable ending on the chessboard with frustration, the old Gao with a small mouth: "Next time you do something more secretive, and he always finds out, how can we win?"
"Yes, if An Xiaohe and Chen Qinghan were there, it would be nice to have them attract the attention of His Highness, and we would win."
"Forget it, be careful that Your Royal Highness will catch you together on the bed." Yan Lingbin's eyes were silky, taking advantage of Pei Wanying's astonishment, and after giving birth, he touched his visibly plumper breast. Then he ran away quickly.
"Hey, Nizi, I turned you back, and attacked me again, don't run." Pei Wanying smiled and got up, chased in the direction where Yan Lingbin fled, leaving the maid standing aside with her face With a relaxed smile, watching such a harmonious and interesting scene in the East Palace.
"Chen Dai Zhi De..."
"Forget it." Li Hong walked quickly to Dai Zhide, raised his hands and said.
Looking at Dai Zhide, who hadn't seen him in the past ten years, the two of them were naturally embarrassed.
In particular, Dai Zhide's complexion has become darker in recent years, his gray beard is more sparse, his eyes are a bit muddy, the corners of his eyes and forehead are covered with wrinkles, and his hands are also spotted with age spots.
Fortunately, it was winter. With thick clothes on his body, his thin body didn't seem worrying. Although he had just rushed back to Chang'an City just now, his spirit was pretty good.
The two sat down on the sofa together. Dai Zhide looked at the prince’s study and said: “When the old minister came back today, he almost thought he had entered a fairyland on earth instead of the Chang'an City that he left. "
"Why? Surprised?" Li Hong smiled, and pushed the tea that the maid gave him first to Dai Zhide.
"My minister, thank you, Your Majesty." Dai Zhide watched Li Hong treat him so politely, and hurriedly got up to thank him, but was stopped by Li Hong.
So he sat down and continued: "Yes, the minister can't believe it. In less than ten years, his Royal Highness has built Chang'an City into such a magnificent and glorious capital. Presumably, there is no such city in this world. Being able to be as majestic as the city of Chang'an, can show my grandeur." Dai Zhide sincerely admired, and he kept thinking about what he saw and heard in Chang'an city today.
"Then, do you think that if you were the minister of ceremonies back then, according to your suggestion, would Chang'an City have what it is today?"
"Hahaha..." Dai Zhide was taken aback, and then laughed boldly, without the slightest embarrassment or dissatisfaction on his face, and said relaxedly: "His Royal Highness, you really hold a grudge, how many years have happened? Now, you still remember that you still want to make fun of the old minister."
"It is said that when people are old, this skin becomes unimportant, so I will try it on you, an old man." Li Hong continued to joke Dai Zhide.
But after listening to Li Hong's words, Dai Zhide's expression became a bit solemn, and he thought about it with a wry smile and said: "The old minister has to admire you. It was indeed an old minister who missed the country back then. Thanks to his ability to dismiss the old minister. I re-enable the old officials so that they can do something within their power for the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty. Otherwise, the old officials will waste the past ten years at home, and then go out to see the scene in Chang'an, the old officials are afraid they will be ashamed. I committed suicide. Presumably, Ge Xiyuan and Shi Zangjie will have the same feelings."
"Not to mention them, but now the father and the queen, including some of the father's courtiers at the time, now see me, they are hiding and not daring to meet each other." Li Hong looked at Dai Zhide, Continue to say jokingly.
"Then I don't know why your Royal Highness called the old minister back this time? As long as there is a place where the old minister can relieve your highness~IndoMTL.com~the old minister must be generous..."
"I’ve been thinking too much. It’s been almost ten years. It’s the court’s great love for you border ministers and an opportunity to reward you for your contribution to the Tang Dynasty. So this time after you come back, I will give you two A choice." Li Hong smiled and looked at Dai Zhide, and then slowly said: "One: Staying in Chang'an for a long time, presumably you have already cultivated many students who are suitable for making contributions to the Tang Dynasty? Two: If you can't bear the Tibetans, let you return to the Tibetans."
Dai Zhide was silent. His Royal Highness seemed to be relaxed, and his expression seemed calm and calm, but Dai Zhide was also very clear in his heart that His Royal Highness was afraid that it would be unspeakable.
Tubo now has a strong sense of belonging to Datang, even he didn't even think of it. But with such a successful example, wouldn't His Royal Highness not be tempted?
Dai Zhide had to think about the current situation of the court in Anxi.
Five surnames and Qiwang, who just went to Tocharo to start the Datang Academy this year, want to spread the culture of Datang as they did in Tibet. I am afraid that they will face no difficulties. Will it be small?
"The old minister should go back to Tibet. All the hard work of the past ten years has been devoted to that side. The old minister also wanted to show the newcomers to the five surnames and seven hopes. So your Highness, the old minister asked Yuanri to continue to return. How about the Tibetans?"
"Alright." Li Hong got up, walked behind the desk, and then took out a small delicate wooden box from the drawer below, and handed it to Dai Zhide: "Your gift, tomorrow At the meeting, I won’t congratulate you."
Dai Zhide carried the antique wooden box. Although the gifts in it were not very heavy, it made him feel that His Royal Highness took him seriously. Therefore, on the way out of the East Palace, no matter what He still felt heavy in his hands.
