Emperor Zhenguan

Chapter 519 Another Good Son
Changle Hall.

Empress Yang has a big belly, holding a Chang'an novel newspaper in her fair and tender palm, flipping through it with great interest.After several years of development, more and more literati are making money by contributing articles to Chang'an Fiction News.

Among them, there are not only poems and songs, but also novels and talks, all kinds.With the hot sale of Chang'an Fiction Newspaper, Li Zhiyun now finally doesn't have to spend money to maintain the newspaper.Basically, Chang'an Fiction News is now self-sufficient.

And because the Chang'an Fiction Newspaper is full of fun, the concubines in the harem occasionally let people buy some to pass the time.

In fact, the big reason why women in the harem like palace fighting is because they are free.The emperor can't pamper them every day, in order to make the emperor pamper them, they naturally have to start playing tricks, making all kinds of comparisons, and then it turns into a palace fight.

Of course, the popularity of novel newspapers and the ability to manipulate public opinion have begun to show signs.Many people have sold newspapers in private, as well as colored newspapers.These things, without exception, were all seized by Li Zhiyun.

Public opinion should be in his own hands.Now that the public opinion of scholars in the world is in the hands of the aristocratic family, Li Zhiyun will naturally not hand over the opinions of the common people to them.When there is an opportunity in the future, Li Zhiyun will find a way to break the situation where the aristocratic family controls public opinion.

This time, in the crusade against the Turks, Li Zhiyun asked people to detail the major crimes of the Turks in the Chang'an Novels, and expounded the disasters that the Turks had brought to the people of the Central Plains.

Among them, Li Zhiyun also asked the Ministry of Civil Affairs to provide a large amount of data.In order to let the common people feel the harm of Turks more intuitively, Li Zhiyun replaced all economic units with food, gold and silver.Carefully calculated an account for the people of the Tang Dynasty, a sum of economic losses caused to the people of the Tang Dynasty every time the Turks went south.

"There are more than three million stones?" Empress Yang exclaimed, not knowing what news she saw.

Li Zhiyun was sitting beside him, pinching his wife's thigh.

After pregnancy, the lady became more plump.

"What?" he asked.

Empress Yang asked: "My lord, if this Turkic tribe goes south, will it bring more than three million shi of grain loss to our dynasty?"

Li Zhiyun said: "Not so many, but it's about the same."

"How?" she asked.

Li Zhiyun explained: "Some time ago, a Turkic tribe went south to plunder Jiuyuan and other border states. They robbed very little, but in fact lost a lot of value. Let me settle the score for my wife. If a strong laborer is killed If the Turks snatch it away, the family will collapse. Correspondingly, their fields will also be abandoned. Even if they are not abandoned, it will also lead to a decrease in the grain harvest. What will happen then?

The fields are deserted, the old and the young starve to death, every family is like this, let alone thousands of families.And if the people are in danger, the imperial court will find a way to rescue the people.

In this way, the court will take money and food. "

After spending about an incense stick of effort, Li Zhiyun briefly explained to Empress Yang.

After listening, Empress Yang sighed: "It's really hard for the little people."

Li Zhiyun said: "That's why I must destroy the Turks this time."

There are many exaggerated elements in the calculation data of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, but it doesn't matter, this is what Li Zhiyun wants.

In the past few days, as the data in the newspapers spread, there was a huge wave of heated discussions in the Chang'an market.

Although the people were not so fanatical that they all asked for orders to join the army, most of the people felt that the emperor must support the Turks.

Of course, Tang Ren's own arrogance is also part of the reason.

Feeling her husband's hand stopped, Empress Yang moved her thigh unhappily.

Then, Li Zhiyun massaged her obediently.

"It's my good fortune that my lady is knowledgeable and reasonable. Some time ago, when the Hall of Liangyi was discussing matters, my lady ordered someone to give me food, and I did it very thoughtfully."

"Giving food?" Empress Yang was stunned, and immediately said, "When did I order someone to give food?"

Ok?
"Then why would Bao Niang?" Li Zhiyun's voice gradually faded away.

Could it be Baoniang's idea?

"Husband, what's wrong?"

"No, nothing." Li Zhiyun smiled and said, "It seems that our daughter is very sensible."

Then, Li Zhiyun told the queen what happened in Liangyi Hall a while ago.

Empress Yang pondered and said: "Bao Niang, although this child is noisy, he has a cleverness. I don't know if it's a blessing or a curse."

"Nature is a blessing." He said firmly.

"Hmph." Empress Yang pointed out, "It's a good thing to be smart, but you must teach her well, otherwise you will not be smart if you use your cleverness in a crooked way."

Hearing this, Li Zhiyun pretended that he didn't understand at all, and just said: "I believe that the lady will teach her daughter well."

Seeing that he was avoiding the truth and pretending to be false, Empress Yang really didn't bother to point it out.

She was pregnant and didn't want to be angry.What's more, she also knew that her husband was not the former king or prince of Chu, but the emperor.

Therefore, she can only stroke along the hair, not against it.

When she was about to say something, she suddenly felt a sharp pain in her stomach, which made her face turn pale.

"Husband, it seems, it seems that the little enemy is about to come out."

An hour later.

The queen gave birth to a son, the seventh son of Li Zhiyun.

Another one with a handle.

"What's your name?" After a day's rest, Empress Yang regained her spirits and asked her husband happily touching her son's little face.

"Xiao."

"Chengxuan?" Queen Yang blinked.

Li Zhiyun nodded, "Yes, Li Chengxuan."

"What's the implication?" she asked.

Li Zhiyun smiled and said: "Prestige too."

Queen Yang nodded in satisfaction.

The queen was weak after giving birth, Li Zhiyun didn't bother her too much, and rested with her after chatting for a while.

As soon as he walked outside the hall, his mother Wan Shi was waiting there.

"Mother."

Empress Dowager Wan nodded and said, "Accompany Ai's family for a walk."

The mother and son walked slowly along the corridor.

"The queen is very good, and she gave birth to a son and daughter for you. You must not bully her."

"What the queen mother said is true." Li Zhiyun smiled and said: "I have never bullied her. In my heart, she is my wife."

Empress Dowager Wan asked lightly: "Then what are you going to do about Princess Qin?"

Li Zhiyun's face changed, and he wanted to continue pretending to be confused.

"What happened to Princess Qin?"

"Okay, don't pretend to be like this in front of the Ai family." The Empress Dowager Wan taught: "You are the emperor now. Logically speaking, the Ai family can't say anything about you, lest the ministers say that the Ai family is involved in politics. But Qin The matter of the princess is your private matter, so it's alright for the Ai family to say a few words?"

Li Zhiyun acquiesced to her words.

Although the courtiers tabooed the harem to interfere in politics, especially the empress dowager, but the empress dowager Wan is now talking about Li Zhiyun's private affairs, which is not overstepping.

"Tell me about you, you are already the emperor, what kind of woman do you want, why do you bother to provoke Princess Qin, and get yourself into trouble?
Now you are hiding her, and later, are you planning to hide her for the rest of your life?

If you have children, what should you do?
Don't talk about the royal face, just talk about your ministers, will they agree?

Son, don't you think about these things? "

After the Queen Mother finished speaking, she rambled on a lot. The core meaning was to ask him to end it as soon as possible, so as not to cause trouble for himself.

Li Zhiyun's ears were not clean until the Queen Mother was sent back to Shou'an Hall.

The only thing that made Li Zhiyun fortunate was that the Queen Mother didn't ask him to make any promises this time.

In this way, if he can be fooled, he will be fooled, anyway, he has not changed his original intention.

Guanyin's servant girl must be taken good care of.
