Chapter Twelve The Empress Wants to Take a Walk and Play Cards
In the political hall, it has been half a month since the prince set off for the expedition. Due to the three-day report, Li Zhiyun is very familiar with the news on the front line. He knows everything about what the prince has done, what enemies he has encountered, what achievements he has made, and what mistakes he has made. But, he knows everything.
, he also knew in his heart that the prince's purpose of leading the troops on this expedition was mainly for training, and he knew that the prince's safety was guaranteed, but he still couldn't help but worry.
Perhaps, as I get older, I become more and more like an old father?
Thinking of this, Li Zhiyun smiled, put down the memorial gently, and then stood up and left the political affairs hall. The prime ministers were not surprised. After seeing the emperor off respectfully, they sat down to handle government affairs again. They had assisted the emperor in handling state affairs for so long, and they also knew that the emperor
I have a habit of going out for a walk when I'm bored, so it's not strange.
However, this time it is obvious that the number of outings has increased, especially after the prince went to war.
.”
To be honest, in the past, there would not have been too many rebellions in Shengzhou, because they were really not very good, and the empire could just send some people there to wipe out the rebellion. But now, because the prince is going on an expedition, this matter now
It is very eye-catching. Whether the counter-rebellion is successful or not is not important in itself. What is important is whether the prince wins or loses. This is very important.
As for why, it depends on everyone’s own thoughts.
Du Ruhui glanced at him and said with a faint smile: "Your Majesty has always loved the prince. This is the first time that the prince has led an army alone. It is reasonable for your majesty to be worried. However, I think we should have more confidence in the prince. Right,
Li Xiang?"
Hearing this, Li Jing said solemnly: "The prince is smart and knows the principles of battle formations by heart. However, this is the first time he is in charge of an army independently. I hope the prince can listen more to the opinions of the army, weigh the pros and cons, and think deeply before making a decision."
.”
"I asked, have you finished all the matters at hand? Do you still have time to chat? Have you decided how to deal with the Lianghuai Salt Case?" Fang Xuanling put aside the memorial he had just dealt with and read it.
Chatting with them.
Xue Shou said: "My thoughts on this matter are the same as your Majesty's. People without salt have their lives in danger. Anyone who is involved in this case will never be tolerated, even if they are arrested again."
"How many people should be arrested?" Wen Yanbo asked, and then said: "In my opinion, the culprits will not be spared, and the gangs selling illegal salt will not be spared. The other people can be dealt with lightly. Otherwise, this case will be
Upon investigation, it turns out to be another major case."
Not long after the big case in the south, Wen Yanbo didn't want to cause trouble there anymore, and he should focus on appeasing him now.
"You spoke too late." Dai Zhou raised his head and said, "Your Majesty has asked the censor to investigate. I will not let this case go easily. Those private salt dealers and local officials collaborated to destroy
Official salt, wantonly selling private salt, if things go on like this, who will still eat official salt, and who will be willing to eat official salt. The final result is that private salt gangs become more and more rampant, and more and more local officials are corrupted. This case,
Even if Your Majesty wants to let me go, I will fight to the death to ask Your Majesty to investigate this case thoroughly."
Hearing this, Wen Yanbo shook his head helplessly...
Your Majesty, you are still so irritable. Corrupt officials who serve as officials under this saint really have to keep their tail between their legs, otherwise they will not know how they died. What's more, these capable ministers and officials serve as officials under the saint,
Now everyone is working hard to leave a good name for themselves after death.
The king and his ministers are united!
"You're right," he said.
Fang Xuanling said thoughtfully: "I don't know who will be implicated in the Yushitai this time." After the big case in the south, he was busy dealing with the follow-up matters, and his mind was very tired. This time he probably wouldn't be able to do it.
He couldn't run away. Who made the emperor praise him as 'Fang Mou'?
"Anyway, they are all bad people." Du Ruhui said concisely and concisely.
Hearing this, the two looked at each other and smiled.
Xue Suo on the side moved his lips, and inexplicably thought of a sentence in his heart: It was obviously me who came first!
Li Zhiyun was taking a walk in the courtyard corridor. In fact, the scenery in the palace was just like that after seeing it too much. There was nothing unusual about it. It was impossible for him to be attracted by any scenery. He could only think about it as he was lost in thought.
And now,
Instead of thinking about the problem, he just let himself go. Because the more he thought about the problem, the more he thought about the prince. He went out for a walk to let his brain rest for a while and temporarily forget about missing the prince.
Well, Li Zhiyun himself didn't realize that he actually cared about his sons very much, especially the first few children. In fact, it's not that he didn't care about the sons born later, he just couldn't get close to them.
Because as a father, he lacked company for his sons after he ascended the throne.
The wind blew, bringing a burst of joy and laughter.
"Who is it?"
When Li Zhiyun's voice fell, Gao Liangzhong immediately gave the servant a look. The latter withdrew knowingly and returned after a while.
"Your Majesty, it is several young highnesses who are playing hide and seek."
Well, hide and seek, this was a little game that Li Zhiyun played with Jinyang Yongning and others back then. However, he usually let the children hide while he himself slowly and leisurely looked for people. This was one of the few times he could relax.
time.
Li Zhiyun became interested, got up and walked slowly. Under the guidance of the little chamberlain, he came to a garden. Across the rockery, he saw several children laughing and playing inside.
Well, it's the emperor's ninth son, Li Chengming, and the emperor's tenth son, Li Chengxi, who are playing hide and seek with their younger brothers.
The servants were very discerning. When they saw that the saint was just watching the princes playing quietly, with no intention of going out, they did not dare to announce loudly that His Majesty was coming, but carefully stood back and waited.
Seeing the joy of his younger sons, Li Zhiyun stopped his stretched out feet. He knew very well that once he appeared, these sons would become restrained.
"Go back."
"According to the decree."
Changle Hall.
"Sanjo."
"Bump!" Queen Yang played four and accepted Concubine Chen's three.
Concubine Chen was stunned and looked at Empress Yang who was in a daze, without saying anything.
After two rounds of mahjong, when Queen Yang hit three of a kind, Concubine Chen couldn't help but ask: "Why is my sister so absent-minded?"
"Is there any?" Queen Yang asked puzzledly.
Concubine Chen nodded.
Empress Yang looked at Concubine Wei Gui and Concubine Yin De again, and both women nodded.
"No." She whispered.
"Yes." Concubine Yin De said: "Sister, you have lost three fours in a row. Which card are you going to use to win this hand?"
Hearing this, Empress Yang looked at the pile of "Tiao," "Wan," and "tubes" in front of her, and sighed helplessly.
"Oh, no more fun."
She really didn't have the heart to play cards. Ever since her son went off to war, she had been a little distracted. Concubine Wei was the one organizing the game today, and she just reluctantly played cards with them.
Seeing this, Concubine Yin De felt a little pity, but she was about to win.
Concubine Chen gently held the mahjong in her hand and asked, "Sister, are you worried about His Royal Highness?"
There is nothing to hide from this, Queen Yang nodded and admitted.
The three women looked at each other, and they all offered good words to persuade the queen, but most of their words were superficial and did not have a deep conversation. Because it was related to government affairs, and they would not say anything casually.
