Chang'an's capital expansion plan was finally approved by the military and political council with a majority vote.
Military and political affairs is indeed a political system designed by Li Ye, which gives officials above the fifth rank the power to participate in major decisions of the court.
As the regent and supreme ruler, Li Ye considered establishing systems and rules, proposing major ideas, and appointing personnel of third rank or above.
As for how to do it and how to implement it, that is the matter of the court. He really does not need to think too much, but too much power in the political hall is not a good thing. As a superior, the most important thing is to balance, so he uses military and political discussions and voting to check and balance political affairs.
Hall.
Li Ye proposed a major idea, and the political affairs hall was responsible for formulating a detailed plan. The military and political deliberation finally reviewed the plan. As long as a majority of votes agreed, it could be implemented.
In the official room, Li Ye was carefully looking through the city expansion plan. It was clearly written on it that it would cost 500,000 yuan and take five years. Except for the northern city, which would not be moved, everything from east to west would be moved ten miles. By then, Chang'an City would have become four.
There are three county towns, Chang'an County, Wannian County, Jianzhang County and Lintong County. When the population is at its maximum, it will reach two million people.
At this time, an officer reported at the door, "Your Highness, the inner guard Li Dutong wants to see you!"
"Let her in!"
After a moment, Li Chenghua hurriedly walked in, bowed and saluted, "See you, Your Highness!"
Li Ye smiled slightly and said, "In such a hurry, what big case happened?"
"Your Highness, do you still remember that cloth shop in the West Market? The intelligence spy sent by Tian Chengsi."
Li Ye nodded, "That's the one who kept 30,000 gold in the cabinet, and you discovered it."
"Yes! It's this shopkeeper Liu. We used him to fish, and sure enough we caught a big fish."
Li Ye suddenly became interested, "Tian Chengsi sent assassins again?"
Li Chenghua nodded, "This time it's a big fish. It's an assassin jointly sent by the four vassal towns. It should be a team. According to shopkeeper Liu, they may be Turks."
'Turks?'
Li Ye frowned and asked again: "Then what are you going to do?"
"Reporting to Your Highness, the other party said that they will come back at noon in three days, which is noon the day after tomorrow. I estimate that they will secretly observe to see if there is anyone suspicious, because the other party has already suspected shopkeeper Liu, so as long as there is anyone suspicious, they will evacuate immediately.
The Jizhihui will set up a dragnet in the West City, making it impossible for them to evacuate even if they want to."
"What if the other party doesn't come?"
"If the other party doesn't come, we have to find another way."
Li Ye nodded, "You can arrange it! I won't ask."
Li Chenghua clasped his fists and said, "Your Highness, I have to implement first-level security protection for Your Highness and his family until the assassin is caught."
Li Ye had a headache for a while, so the first-level security protection was to move into the Zhen'an Building at night and cancel all his external inspections.
But this was the duty of the internal guard. Li Ye didn't want to object, so he nodded and said, "Go tell the princess!"
"I humbly obey orders!"
Li Chenghua bowed and left.
Li Ye took up his pen and wrote "Turks" on the paper. He thought for a moment and vaguely thought of something in his mind, but it was very blurry and could not be seen clearly.
Returning to the mansion in the evening, as expected, the family moved into the Zhen'an Building. The Zhen'an Building was built by Li Longji to hide from assassins or mutinies, but it was never used. It covers an area of at least five acres, with auxiliary buildings and
Main building.
The main building has four floors, and the outside is made of precious wood. It looks like a very exquisite pagoda.
But in fact, the inside is made of large bluestones. There are almost no windows in the whole tower. There is only an iron door on the second floor for entry and exit. The iron door is connected to the annex building outside. The structure of the annex building is very complex, like a maze.
It is difficult for people who are not familiar with it to find the location of the iron gate.
Li Ye entered the Zhen'an Building and went directly to his study room on the fourth floor.
There is a secret window in his study that leads to the top of the Zhen'an Building, but if you look at it from behind, of course you can't open it, so you have to unbolt the window inside.
As soon as Li Ye sat down, his wife Dugu Xinyue opened the door and came in, bringing him a cup of ginseng tea.
"Husband, please go down and have dinner!"
"Have you all eaten?"
Dugu Xinyue nodded, "We just moved here today, and everyone ate a little randomly."
"Then bring me a meal later, and I won't go down."
Dugu Xinyue put the ginseng bowl on the table, sat down and asked, "I heard from Li Chenghua that these feudal towns are going to make a desperate move this time and want to change the fate of destruction by assassinating their husbands."
Li Ye nodded, "Absolutely! This is probably the last assassination I will face."
"But it may also be the most dangerous one."
Li Ye shook his head, "Don't think too scary of the other party. Assassination is a shameful act. As long as you put on a little defense, the assassin won't have any chance at all. Moreover, the target of the assassination this time is me, and it has nothing to do with you. You
Don’t be too nervous.”
"Chenghua also said the same thing. The other party's target is not us. We can stay outside during the day. As long as we don't leave the palace gate, we can live in the Zhen'an Building at night. This is good, and we won't be locked in here all the time.
"
Li Ye smiled happily and said: "That's right. We need to be on guard, but we can't be too guarded and seriously affect our lives."
After a pause, he asked again: "Where are Shen Zhenzhu and Shen Li? Have they moved in?"
Dugu Xinyue shook her head, "I told them, but they refused. Shen Zhenzhu said that she wanted to protect the fetus and not move it casually. Shen Li stayed with her aunt."
"no!"
Li Ye said categorically: "If assassins really enter the palace, they will kill everyone they see and will not show mercy. Moreover, assassins can easily enter through Luo Jinhua. If the assassins break into the room, they will only die. Aunt Mu will also be killed."
Move in together."
"Aunt Mu has already come in. I will arrange for the two of them to come in."
Li Ye nodded, "Ask the female guards to carry Shen Pearl in on a rattan bed."
Dugu Xinyue nodded, got up and went out.
Li Ye pondered for a moment, got up and went to the corner of the house, opened the iron bolt and pushed out the window. He stood on the high tower and looked at the surrounding trees and buildings. They were all hung with long ice spikes. To the right, he could see the white snow. Covered city wall.
At this time, voices could be heard faintly in the distance,
I saw a group of people coming from Luojinhua, more than twenty female guards, carrying a rattan bed onto the overpass. It should be Shen Zhenzhu and Shen Li.
At this time, Yang Yuhuan's voice came from behind, "Is your husband outside?"
"Ah! Don't come out, I'm going in right now."
Yang Yuhuan has a severe fear of heights. Her legs tremble at high places and she will faint from fear. Li Ye cannot let her out.
Li Ye walked back to the room and closed the window, and the cold wind disappeared immediately.
Yang Yuhuan hugged her husband's waist tightly and pressed her face against his chest. Li Ye kissed her forehead and said with a smile, "Why is it a little sad?"
"All of them are pregnant, but I can't give birth. I feel very sad."
A few days ago, Dugu Taiwei was diagnosed with Ximai. In addition, Shen Zhenzhu is pregnant with a child. Next year, two more babies will be born in this family. The whole family is overjoyed. Yang Yuhuan is only happy on the surface, but secretly But sad and weeping.
Li Ye understood her mood and comforted her for a while, saying that she was his most beloved woman, more than anyone else, and then he made her laugh out of tears.
"Husband, let's eat!"
Yang Yuhuan pulled Li Ye to sit down, leaned next to him and said with a charming smile: "I'll pour wine for you husband!"
Li Ye hugged her and smiled: "It's hard to have fun without music. Why don't you play a song for me?"
Yang Yuhuan's pretty face suddenly turned red, her eyes turned wild, and her heart began to heat up. She was the only one who understood what her husband was saying?
