The second thousand five hundred and sixty-ninth chapters
Before he and Leng Bing returned to Qiming Tower, the eunuch delivering the decree from the palace was already waiting in front of the courtyard, announcing that Li had fallen into the palace. Emperor Chengqi had already prepared a feast for him in Wansheng Palace.
Take the wind and wash away the dust for him.
In the past, Su Xue waited patiently for him to come back. If she walked in with her front foot and walked out with her back foot, she would be disappointed and uncomfortable. But this time it seemed to be a little different. Li Luo said that he was going to enter the palace, and maybe he would come back in the middle of the night. Su Xue was relieved after hearing this.
He said yes and told the young master to go and do his work. After that, his expression did not change and his heart stopped beating, which made him depressed and sad for a while.
The courtyard door was ajar, and the imperial guards and the palace servants were still waiting on the street, waiting for him respectfully. Li Luo freshened up a little and went out. Listening to the laughter coming from the courtyard behind him, he couldn't help but feel a little sad. It was really
It’s becoming more and more inappropriate!
The lights in front of Wansheng Palace were bright. Li Xuanci was waiting outside the palace first. He saw Li Luo laughing from a distance: "Ninth brother, you are back. You have worked hard on this trip."
Li Luo bowed and replied: "Xuan Lou didn't dare to make any effort, and the Holy Master actually greeted him outside the palace. I was frightened. I deserve death for my crime."
Li Xuanci held his forehead and smiled bitterly, pretending to be dissatisfied, and shouted: "You old man, don't talk nonsense! If you go back standing now, my job as emperor will be in vain."
Li Luo laughed heartily, and when he came to him, Li Xuanci enthusiastically put his arm around his shoulders and entered the Wansheng Palace as if there was no one else around. All the ministers bowed their heads, and only the two of them walked side by side, passing through the crowd and entering the hall.
The banquets in the palace are always good, especially tonight, which is extremely luxurious and very different from the frugal practice since Li Xuanci ascended the throne. After Emperor Chengqi ascended the throne, he ordered all government offices to reduce expenditures and eliminate waste.
It was used to replenish the national treasury. Although the Dagan court seemed to be in turmoil in recent years, it can be said that during his reign, Emperor Wanlong was more martial and had more outstanding achievements than the previous generations of emperors. Li Luo led Mu Tianlang to the south
During the expedition to the north, from the Western Regions to Dongfu, then from Dongfu to Mobei, and finally to Tiannan, he swept all four realms in the world. The four realms were peaceful and the imperial power of Dagan was stabilized. However, in these years, Mu Tianlang
The expenditure on military pay was the highest among all the Dagan armies, and Emperor Wanlong was partial. As long as Li Luo asked for more, the imperial court would have more and more, and there would be a surplus. Every reward would be a generous gift that no one else had, and the national treasury was tight.
Maybe no one was jealous or complaining. It was just that Mu Tianlang and the Inspection Department were too powerful, and then the battle in Beifu was a matter of national survival. The earthquake bells in Zhuocheng rang, so no one dared to make irresponsible remarks.
Nowadays, the world is at peace, not to mention the world is at peace, but there are no extremely vicious disturbances. Gradually, Li Luo's militaristic views have emerged in the court, making the people miserable and miserable. And these people often use those official careers to
Most of the literati were dissatisfied. Although they did not go to the level of verbal criticism, gossip was indispensable.
During this banquet in the Wansheng Palace, there is a high chance that someone will start to make up troubles and think that he is extravagant. When Zhang Rongzheng came over to meet Li Luo, he gave a vague reminder. Li Luo smiled, but he didn't take it to heart.
No matter now or then, the rumors about him in Zhuocheng have never subsided.
This banquet was held, and all the ministers came together. From then on, Dagan no longer had troubles from the west, south, and east seas, and there was only one Mobei Caohai. This was a problem that had not been solved when Taizu was still alive. Li Xuanci
No matter how high your ambition is, you still have to weigh it carefully. I dare not say that it can compare with the great achievements of Gan Taizu Li Xia.
This banquet should be held to usher in a prosperous age of peace and serve as a link between the past and the next, which was exactly in line with his title of Emperor Qi.
In the Wansheng Palace, Li Luo met someone he didn't expect. King Hui Li Xuanze was actually invited. However, after not seeing him for many years, his temples were gray and his face was withered. He was not senile, but he still showed the signs of twilight.
gas.
"Brother Five Emperors, you..." Li Luo was shocked, and then he wanted to understand why. He sighed inwardly and said with a helpless smile, "Brother Five Emperors, you are fine."
King Hui looked at Li Luo, his expression was complicated and difficult to understand, but he seemed to have a sense of freedom and ease that he had seen through the world of mortals: "The voice of Fifth Brother now sounds really different from the past."
Li Luo smiled and said, "Fifth brother is worrying too much."
"Haha, it doesn't matter if I worry too much. It's fine if others don't worry too much."
"Ninth brother, fifth brother, come and sit down." King Jin at the table next to him waved to them to sit down quickly. King Hui glanced at it and said lightly, "Xuanlou, please come over."
"Fifth brother, you..."
King Hui waved his hand and smiled coldly: "It's impossible that you don't know my situation. It's just a tool for him to show his humility. What's even more ironic is that I still hold the title of Minister of Internal Security and hold the title of Minister of Internal Security.
The salary of the Dagan court is actually not as good as that of the Jiucheng city guard captain, haha, so that people can laugh at me."
Li Luo didn't say anything. When they were in their position, they had experienced many things and many people had seen it clearly. It was better not to say a few words of comfort against their will. King Hui went to sit down at a table in the corner of the hall. Li Luo
Looking over, the high-spirited King Hui was no longer there. Now he was relegated to the sidelines. There was no one else sitting at such a large table except him. Others would rather squeeze in than sit with him, the Minister of Internal Security.
Together.
Li Xuanmin walked over, followed his gaze, and smiled sarcastically: "She is quite self-aware and knows how to hide in a corner so as not to be an eyesore."
Li Luo didn't say anything. Li Xuanmin was a little embarrassed and smiled: "Brother Ninth, are you unhappy?"
"How could that happen?" Li Luo smiled and looked back, "If he is the one who proclaims the emperor, who do you think is sitting in that corner? You? Me? Or Seventh Brother?"
"Well, it's hard to say. Maybe the three of us are already dead. If that's the case... Brother Ninth should be fine for the time being. It's hard to say between Brother Seven and I. Brother Five was very ruthless in his attack and probably wouldn't leave any chance for a comeback.
"
"Seventh brother is not good at this, he is too face-saving." Li Luo shook his head and sighed. Li Xuanmin curled his lips and thought to himself, my ninth brother, after all, he is also the Chengqi Emperor of Dagan now, so save some face.
Isn’t that right? He turned around and saw two ministers from the Zhongshu Provincial Ministry of Education standing nearby to eavesdrop. Li Xuanmin glared and shouted, “Get out!”
Their expressions changed, they smiled awkwardly, and quickly backed away.
"Hey, Brother Sixth Emperor is here too!?"
"Hey, when Prince Deng's incident happened, Sixth Brother really couldn't sit still. He had to show his face occasionally, for fear that others would suspect him of doing something secretly and make things difficult for him." Li Xuanci looked at the short and fat man.
Prince Jing Li Xuanke shook his head with a little pity, "Fourth brother will be here soon.
