For example, on this train, many written letters from state officials reporting on their duties were transported back to Chang'an by this train.
Although there are special encryption and security measures to avoid fraud and favoritism, the method is indeed the train route - there is no way, this thing is extremely fast.
However, precisely because it was so fast, when the train arrived in Chang'an, waiting for letters and goods to be delivered was particularly difficult for the people of Chang'an.
Now Li Er feels very uncomfortable. He doesn't want to read any of the work report documents and statistical reports of local state and county yamen. What he wants to read most now is Li Sheng's letter!
In the current situation, there is someone who can solve this strategic dilemma for Datang.
After thinking about it, only Li Sheng has this ability!
How could Li Er not be excited about this?
Although as usual on this day, the steam train arrived in Chang'an in the early morning - that is, around three o'clock in the morning, and then usually waited until the next day to unload the cargo, complete the loading, and set off again to other places.
As for letters and the like, of course, they are all received by the palace and stored first, and then he can read them slowly the next day. But Li Er really couldn't wait that day and wanted to see Li Sheng's letters tonight!
If there is a solution to the problem, that would be great!
However.
Li Er's abacus was jingling in his mind through brainstorming.
From midnight at night - that is, around nine o'clock, the eunuch reminded him that he remembered this matter and kept making plans until around four o'clock in the morning when the eunuch went to Chang'an Railway Station in person to bring the letter back.
If Li Er really had an abacus in his mind during this period, the abacus would be flying all over the sky, and the result...
When the eunuch arrived at the palace, Li Eryi asked, but it was.
"Your Majesty, this letter does not belong to His Royal Highness the Holy King."
When telling the emperor such things, the eunuch was also a little trembling and nervous.
Originally, I thought that taking care of the emperor's worries would be considered a small feat and would be very beneficial to his career in the future. However, as a result,
At this critical moment, there is actually no letter from His Highness the Holy King. Doesn’t this seem like he is going against the will of heaven?
As soon as Li Er heard this, his face darkened instantly, and he frowned and said with a dark face, "There is no letter from Li Sheng? How is this possible?!"
"But Your Majesty, without His Majesty's letter, how can I dare to deceive you?"
"this!"
Li Er's state of mind was like riding a roller coaster. He had been worried all day, and then excited all night, and now his expectations suddenly came to nothing. You can easily imagine what it felt like.
Li Er's face was extremely ugly, and he immediately got angry, "How could the Holy King not reply to my letter!"
"He is my subject. I want to ask for advice, how dare he not answer!"
At this time, Li Er was even a little angry with Li Sheng.
And there is a reason for Li Er's dissatisfaction. Although no relationship has been revealed now, and he is still not Li Sheng's father by name. But he is Li Sheng's emperor after all!
He was the one who gave him the title and allowed him to live the respected life he has today. But he had something to discuss, and this guy actually ignored the emperor. Isn't this unbecoming?
But right now.
From the corner of his eye, Li Er suddenly noticed that the eunuch was hesitant to speak, as if he wanted to say something.
Li Er's face darkened again, and he was about to scold him and ask him what was wrong, when a plain hand reached his shoulder. However, it was Empress Changsun who was worried that Li Er would get angry again without sleeping, and was exhausted, so she came to visit.
"Erlang, this is not the fault of the chamberlain. You forgot that when you sent the letter, you personally took care of the letter you sent."
Queen Changsun reminded me like this.
Li Er's face suddenly stiffened.
In an instant he remembered it and knew what Queen Changsun was referring to.
When I sent the letter to Li Sheng, because it was the emperor asking the ministers for advice, it was a national matter, so it was naturally a formal written document. It should have a big seal on it even if it was not an imperial edict. However, in those two days, all the ministers were admonishing him.
Don't act rashly. If you are unhappy, you won't care about the face of this kid Li Sheng, so in the end...
I sent an ordinary letter without any official seal to Li Sheng!
If you send a letter like this to a minister who has the experience of meeting you day and night, it can be regarded as a kind of honor, because it means that the emperor thinks you are a good person and wants to establish a relatively personal friendship with you - this is an extremely rare and great thing.
This means that the ministers responsible for this good deed may be reused like Wei Qing and Huo Qubing.
But Li Sheng is not like that. Not only does this not mean that he should reuse it, but it is somewhat clear that he will never reuse it in this life.
Of course Li Er didn't mean this originally, but because he was in a bad mood those days, he came up with something like this.
When Queen Changsun said this, Li Er also thought about it, but he didn't realize what the Queen meant at the first time.
Although it is a bit rude, it is still a letter sent from the palace after all, so what could be wrong with it?
After thinking about it for a few seconds, Li Er's face suddenly turned white, then darkened.
Black and white for a while, Li Er murmured with a very exciting expression.
"Mr. Guanyin, you mean,"
"Did you lose this letter?"
Thinking of this, Li Er felt that he was in trouble. If the letter was really lost, then re-delivery would not be a big deal, but re-delivery and then Li Sheng would reply, even if there was a steam train, Chang'an to Qiongzhou Island
That place is still too far away, and it would take about twenty days to get there one way from the mountains to the other from the water.
However, since Li Sheng's reply has not arrived, he has no choice but to maintain the current state of military preparation. After all, if the pirates suddenly show up again, how can the Imperial Army rush over to fight?
But although it is not completely meaningless, waiting for these twenty days will still be the end.
When Li Er thought about it, he felt that this was too silly and stupid. He was just being fooled by the Romans.
Although it's disgusting that he's playing dirty tricks, you just can't do anything about it, and that's the most irritating thing.
Li Er's mood became more and more irritable. At this time, he could only suppress his anger by hugging his wife. But at this time,
The chamberlain suddenly seemed to remember something, "Uh, Your Majesty."
"Although His Royal Highness the Holy King has not replied to the letter, Duke Xing has sent a message!"
"Xing Guogong?"
Li Er couldn't help but be startled, Uncle Chai, wasn't he recently sent by himself to serve as a bodyguard for Li Sheng, so it's safe? Why is this guy also on the road? What can happen?
In his heart of curiosity, Li Er couldn't help but wonder, "What kind of letter is it? Bring it to me and take a look!"
