Emperor Zhenguan

Chapter 731

Seeing Qin Qiong running around for his son, Li Zhiyun was actually very happy. The expansion of the empire cannot do without generals who are good at fighting.The descendants of generals like Qin Huaiyu are the ones who have the best chance of becoming this important link.

However, Li Zhiyun was just happy. Whether they could eventually become useful talents for the empire could only be tested by time.

The days are still going on day by day, and the Tang Dynasty is booming, so there is no need to repeat it, there is no natural disaster, and with the background of the Central Plains, it will soon start to recover quickly, and now there are already signs of prosperity.

However, some people have seen that under this heyday, the sword of the empire has been sharpened even more sharply.Once out of the sheath, it must drink blood!

Many people already know who the next prey is.

Tuyuhun!
In April, there was news from Goguryeo that the war between the two sides had become ineffective, and they had begun to enter an endless tug-of-war, fighting while stopping.After hearing the news, Li Zhiyun was not surprised, and continued to order people to continue selling obsolete ordnance at high prices.

Regardless of whether Goguryeo is in war or peace, as long as they continue to split, it will allow them to continue their internal friction.

This is what the monarchs and ministers of the Tang Dynasty are happy to see.

The sky was clear and clear, and Li Zhiyun took the queen for a walk in the inner garden.Recently, the government is well-organized and the people are harmonious, the local government is smooth, and the accumulation of government affairs has been properly handled. It is also rare for him to let go of important tasks and take a walk in the harem to rest.

"Your Majesty is in a much better mood recently." Empress Yang held her husband's hand and teased the latter with a smile.

The corners of Li Zhiyun's mouth twitched, but he didn't say anything. Some things are not beautiful to say.

"How can you tell that I'm in a good mood?"

"If Your Majesty is in a bad mood, I'm afraid he will frown and think hard in the Ganlu Hall at this moment. How can he come to accompany the courtiers and concubines for a stroll?"

Faced with his wife's rhetorical question, Li Zhiyun nodded.

"Yes, I am really in a good mood."

Empress Yang smiled like a little girl, leaning gently on the emperor, and walked among the flowers. Seeing this, the court ladies stopped very consciously, and looked at the two emperors and empresses who walked into the thousands of flowers from a distance.

Li Zhiyun enjoyed the fragrance of flowers on the tip of his nose, and said: "In fact, sometimes, I really want to put aside state affairs and enjoy the mountains and rivers with you."

Power really makes him fondle admiringly, but at certain moments, he also feels that he is really tired and even stressed.

He doesn't want to be a fool, the basis is that he can't enjoy himself.If you can't enjoy yourself, it will evolve into an unshirkable responsibility.

As the responsibility of the Son of Heaven, as a responsibility to know the future generations for thousands of years.

"Your Majesty is already the Son of Heaven, you can be lazy but don't slack off." Empress Yang said seriously: "If Your Majesty is tired, where will you put your people?"

where?

Li Zhiyun sighed softly, if it wasn't because of the people, sometimes he really wanted to stop himself for a while.

All kinds of things press him forward, which is actually really tiring.

Not only now, but he was also very tired in the past.It's just that at that time, he wanted to be able to control his own destiny.But now, his tiredness is actually more responsible for the fate of thousands of people in the Tang Dynasty.

If the center is a bit rotten, the place will be rotten.

If you don't take out your heart, lungs and intestines, wash them, and dry them in the sun, they will probably rot already.None of the people in the center are idiots. When they do wrong things, they are not stupid, but bad.If you don't keep an eye on it all the time, sooner or later something big will happen.

People often laugh at the common people in Guanzhong; ordinary people don't understand government affairs, and talk about state affairs indiscriminately.

This is not entirely true, at least, the ministers of the central government are very smart, but once they become bad, they are really bad and vicious.

"You're right." Li Zhiyun nodded.

Empress Yang smiled, and said: "Your Majesty is struggling with government affairs. This is a sign of a wise monarch. Now that the government is stable and the civil and military forces are strong, Your Majesty can rule in a prosperous age. Although the courtiers and concubines are foolish women, I know that Your Majesty will be respected by all kings in the future. "

"Admired by the kings of all ages?" Li Zhiyun was taken aback, then shook his head, "That's not quite right."

"Why?" Queen Yang was puzzled.

Why doesn't my husband seem to like hearing me compliment him very much?

Li Zhiyun reached out to pick off the petals, and said melancholy: "There is no gold, and no one is perfect. After thousands of years, there is only one person who is admired by thousands of people. I am not qualified for that."

"Who is that person?" Queen Yang asked curiously.

Li Zhiyun smiled and didn't answer, just found a stone bench and sat down, resting his chin on one hand, meditating on something quietly.

Empress Yang didn't ask any more questions, she just walked behind him and gently squeezed his shoulders.

After a while, Li Zhiyun joked: "You are the empress of the Tang Dynasty, and your mother respects the world, how can you give me a shoulder."

"But the concubine is His Majesty's wife first, and the Empress of the Tang Dynasty second."

"My harem is peaceful, you have contributed a lot."

"The concubine didn't do anything." She shook her head with a smile, and immediately said melancholy: "We husband and wife have not talked like this for a long time."

"Really?" Li Zhiyun said: "Every time I go to Changle Hall, don't I chat with you?"

"Your Majesty, are you chatting?" Queen Yang gave him a white look.

Li Zhiyun asked back: "Why don't I just chat next time?"

"Hmph!" Empress Yang gave a coquettish voice, and lightly tapped his shoulder to express her dissatisfaction.

Li Zhiyun laughed, and stretched out his arms to embrace Queen Yang.

"My lady, I have been really sad these few days, but for a while I don't know where the worry comes from. After looking at everything, I find that I seem to be thinking too much, but my heart is always empty. I don't know why. What happened. Tell me, can I not be free?"

Empress Yang stretched out her hand to smooth her husband's frown, and comforted her in a soft voice: "The reason why my husband thinks this way is because I have been busy in the past few years. Countering rebellion, disaster relief, and destroying Turks, nothing will make my husband feel exhausted. Now that the Tang Dynasty is booming, and the ups and downs are smooth, the husband feels a little empty."

"Is this hypocritical?" Li Zhiyun laughed.

Empress Yang said: "I think this is not the case. Your Majesty will naturally feel very busy if you want to do everything yourself. In the future, your Majesty will be the center and manage the world's affairs, and you will naturally become familiar with it."

Do you have to do everything yourself?

Li Zhiyun wanted to let go, but he knew he couldn't do that.With the integrity of those aristocratic families, letting go is equivalent to increasing the difficulty of the game for the future heir.

"I hope." Li Zhiyun smiled.Immediately afterwards, he asked about the harem.

Empress Yang also told her husband about the size and size of the harem one by one, who was rewarded, who was punished, which concubines were jealous, etc., and everything was said. Same.

Another point is that mahjong has been popular in the harem recently. Maybe it's because there are more women in the harem, and there are more poker players, and people gather at a table every now and then.

"You can't go on like this. You have to pay attention to this area." Li Zhiyun said: "But there is no need to prohibit it too much. Small gambling is fine. If anyone is addicted to gambling, you can be severely punished."

He also knew that his women were bored in the harem all day, so he didn't intend to completely ban mahjong.

"Remember, my concubine."

Li Zhiyun asked again: "The queen mother, can I greet you every day?" He was busy with government affairs, and he could only visit the queen mother once every four or five days.

"Husband, don't worry, the sisters and children are very filial, and often visit the queen mother."

"Okay, I'm relieved to have you here."

The couple laughed and chatted.
