Just when Queen Changsun expressed her concern, Wei Zheng, Fang Du, Li Xiaogong, Duan Lun, and several subsequent ministers came in.
As the prime minister, Wei Zheng was the first to salute and showed an extremely rare smile: "Your Majesty, your Majesty, I am here."
Seeing Wei Zheng, Fang Du, and a group of ministers behind these guys,
Seeing that they were all veteran ministers, Empress Changsun's expression became more relaxed - she still trusted the veteran ministers.
Empress Changsun is not an ordinary woman. Although she does not interfere in political affairs, it does not mean that she has no political literacy. In fact, it is precisely because she has excellent political literacy even though she is a woman that she never asks about specific government affairs. But in the current situation, Empress Changsun
Although his expression softened a lot, he still couldn't help but say, "With veterans like you here, I, a woman, don't have to worry about my husband anymore."
Empress Changsun's direct words made Li Er's face pale, and his heart felt both warm and heavy.
This is not said from the position of a queen, but from the position of an ordinary civilian woman!
Wei Zheng and others couldn't help but feel solemn, and then heard Queen Changsun say, "Although you are all experienced loyal ministers and the pillars of my Tang Dynasty, after all, the Tang Dynasty is not a matter of one time and one place.
As time goes by, it’s better to have talents later in life!”
Queen Changsun's words sounded somewhat effeminate, but Wei Zheng and the others - and even Li Er himself, upon hearing the words, subconsciously immediately sat upright with solemn expressions on their faces. Then, there was a trace of exhaustion and heavy seriousness in the depths of their eyes.
These words are common words that every woman would say, but the truth behind them is something that Li Er and others have to think about seriously.
However, this kind of thing is a long-term solution. Of course, we still need to figure out the establishment of the inner court now - and the reasons for establishing the inner court, which are the troubles that Datang is currently facing. These things must be sorted out first.
Li Er warmly comforted Empress Changsun before sending his worried wife away.
Then, he looked at Wei Zheng and others and sighed slowly.
"Okay, you are all human beings. You all know why you are doing this inner court even if I don't tell you. Then you should also know,"
Halfway through his words, Li Er's eyes suddenly became sharp and sharp, "After all, this is a matter beyond the control of the inner court. If we don't want to be messed up by others, we have to try our best to solve the Roman issue in front of us. You wait
Do you have a good idea in your mind?"
What Li Er said was not polite at all - if it were in the past, Wei Zheng would have started to argue with Li Er, but this time Wei Zheng really had no intention of talking like that. Because what Li Er said,
This is exactly what Wei Zheng and his gang think. The establishment of the inner court is to show that the emperor does not trust you, the ministers of the foreign court. At this time, they will definitely take the clear path to stir up public opinion. If they don't make some achievements properly,
, then it would be really hard to intimidate the group.
Wei Zheng and others all greeted him and said yes.
Seeing that everyone responded to his words with great seriousness, Li Er gradually relaxed a little and talked about the muskets with Wei Zheng and others.
In the final analysis, the establishment of the inner court is a tool used by the monarch himself to overcome public opinion, or it can also be said that it is a tool used to support the real officials of the country and help them overcome public opinion.
Now that the inner court has been established, there is no need to worry about what the Confucian scholars in the outer court have to say!
However, correspondingly, the business pressure has become greater than before. This time, in order to ensure that the musketry event can go smoothly, the candles in the Manlu Hall were kept on until the chamberlain came in and replaced them several times.
At this moment, Datang is not only adopting a proactive strategy externally, but is also constantly embarking on a process of introspection internally.
After all, all of this happened within the circle around Li Er as the core. Whether it was external expansion or internal reform, whether it was expanding the land thousands of miles or clearing the sea, Yan and rivers, it all happened in Chang'an - and in the Mediterranean thousands of miles away from Chang'an.
by the side,
At this moment, the Roman Emperor Hannibal did not know what all of this had happened or what impact it would have on the fate of Rome in the future.
However, even though he could sense the majestic vitality of that distant empire thousands of miles away, little Hannibal was not that worried at the moment.
"Marcus, Xuanchen, you did a great job!"
Staring at the vast blue waves of the Mediterranean Sea from a distance, little Hannibal did not speak for a long time, his expression was in a trance, as if the human soul had left the body, far away from this coast, and went to the deep sea under the vast blue waves in the distance.
Further away, I walked around in the night sky above the vast blue waves before I could return.
When the monarch shows such a look, the ministers are naturally a little nervous. Although Marcus and "Xuanchen" are close ministers of little Hannibal, they are not afraid that the emperor will suddenly do something to him when he is angry. However, there are still some
Nervous, so both of their faces looked very serious at the moment.
It wasn't until little Hannibal said those words of praise that the two of them relaxed their nervousness. They looked at each other and nodded their heads to show their humble character and etiquette.
Then when little Hannibal turned around again, the two of them raised their heads slightly, but when they looked up, they felt mixed emotions in their hearts for a moment.
I can't tell what kind of emotion it is, like a simple empathic response, sympathy, or pity, or like being stared at by some huge unknown creature for a moment, that kind of frog.
The thrill of being stared at by a snake.
At this moment, little Hannibal's face was full of exhaustion.
Not a little tired, not very tired, but a feeling of exhaustion from the inside out as if life will dissipate in the next moment, and more, a sense of fear hidden under this fatigue!
As soon as they saw the master's expression, the two of them understood instantly. Although little Hannibal said he was very happy and recognized his recent work achievements, and even had considerable confidence in the future!
This kind of confidence is the confidence that little Hannibal developed in the normal chaotic environment of Eastern Europe, rather than his true optimism about Rome's future. This is very scary.
The most confident man in Rome showed such a tired look, Marcus couldn't help but feel sad in his heart.
He clearly understood why little Hannibal was so pessimistic at this moment.
Because the future is indeed cruel to the naked eye!
