Emperor Zhenguan

Chapter 912 The Empress Wants to Walk and Play Cards
It has been half a month since the crown prince set off for the Zhengshitang, because Li Zhiyun is well aware of the front-line news because of the report every three days.He knows everything the prince has done, what enemies he has encountered, what achievements he has made, and what mistakes he has made.However, he knew that he knew, and he knew in his heart that the prince led the troops this time mainly for experience, and knew that the prince's safety was guaranteed, but he still couldn't help worrying.

Maybe, the older I get, the more I look like an old father?

Thinking of this, Li Zhiyun smiled, gently put down the memorial, then got up and left the political affairs hall.The prime ministers were not surprised, and after sending the emperor off, they sat down to deal with government affairs again.Having assisted the emperor in dealing with state affairs for such a long time, they also knew that the emperor would go out for a walk when he was bored, so it was not surprising.

It's just that this time it's obvious that the frequency of going out for a walk is increasing, especially after the prince's expedition.Xue Shou closed the memorial and said with a smile: "His Majesty has been paying close attention to the situation of the Shengzhou war recently. It seems that His Majesty is very worried about the crown prince."

To be honest, they would not pay too much attention to the rebellion in Shengzhou in the past, because it was really of no level, and the empire could send any people there to wipe it out.But now, because it is the prince's expedition, this matter is attracting a lot of attention.Whether the counter-insurgency is successful or not is not important in itself, what matters is whether the prince wins or loses, which is very important.

As for why, that is everyone has their own thoughts.

Du Ruhui glanced at him, and said with a faint smile: "Your Majesty has always loved the prince dearly. This is the first time the prince has led the army alone. It is reasonable for your majesty to be worried. However, I think we should have more confidence in the prince. Right, Li Xiang?"

Hearing this, Li Jing said dully: "The crown prince is intelligent, and he is familiar with the principles of battle formation, but after all, it is the first time he is in charge of the army independently. I hope the crown prince can listen to the opinions of the army, weigh the pros and cons, and think carefully before making a decision. .”

"Let me say, have you finished dealing with the matters at hand, and still have time to chat, have you thought about how to deal with the Lianghuai salt case?" Fang Xuanling put aside the memorial that he had just dealt with, and looked Chatting with them.

Xue Shou said: "Regarding this matter, I agree with Your Majesty. People who have no salt have their lives in danger. Anyone who is involved in this case must not be tolerated, even if they are arrested again."

"Then how many people will be arrested?" Wen Yanbo asked, and then said: "In my opinion, the culprit will not be let go, and those gangs who sell illegal salt will not be let go, and the others can be dealt with lightly. Otherwise, once this case The investigation turned out to be another big case.”

Not long after the big southern case, Wen Yanbo didn't want to make trouble there anymore, so he should focus on appeasement now.

"It's too late for you." Dai Zhou raised his head and said, "Your Majesty has asked the censor to investigate. I will not promise to let this case go lightly. Those private salt dealers collaborated with local officials to destroy the case. Official salt, wantonly selling private salt, if things go on like this, who will eat official salt, and who will be willing to eat official salt. The final result is that private salt gangs are becoming more and more rampant, and more and more local officials are being corrupted. This case, Even if His Majesty wants to let it go, I will desperately beg His Majesty to thoroughly investigate this case."

Hearing this, Wen Yanbo shook his head helplessly.

Your Majesty, you are still so irritable.Corrupt officials, serving as officials under this saint, really have to behave with their tails between their legs, otherwise they will not know how they died.What's more, these capable ministers and officials served as officials under the sage, and now they are all working hard to leave a good name for themselves after death.

Monarchs and ministers with one heart!

"You're right," he said.

Fang Xuanling said thoughtfully: "I don't know who will be involved in Yushitai this time." After the big southern case, he was busy dealing with follow-up matters, and his mind was exhausted. Can't run away.Who made the emperor praise him as 'Fang Mou'?

"Anyway, they are all bad guys." Du Ruhui said concisely.

Hearing this, the two looked at each other and smiled.

Xue Shu's lips moved, and he thought of a sentence inexplicably; I was the one who came first!

Under the courtyard corridor, Li Zhiyun was taking a walk.In fact, the scenery in the palace is just like that after seeing too much, there is nothing unusual about it.It is also impossible for him to be attracted by any scenery, it can only be regarded as his own thoughts in ecstasy.

But now, instead of thinking about problems, he emptied himself.Because the more he thinks about the problem, the more he thinks about the prince.He went out for a walk, all he wanted was to let his brain rest for a while, and temporarily forget about missing the prince.

Well, Li Zhiyun himself didn't realize that he actually cared about his son very much, especially the first few children who were born first.In fact, it's not that he didn't care about the sons who were born later, it's just that he couldn't get close to them, because he, as a father, lacked the company for his sons after he ascended the throne.

The wind blows, bringing a burst of laughter.

"who is it?"

After Li Zhiyun's voice fell, Gao Liangzhong immediately gave the servant who was in charge of him a look.The latter retreated knowingly, and returned after a while.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, it is a few young highnesses playing hide-and-seek."

Well, hide and seek, this is a small game that Li Zhiyun took Jinyang Yongning and others to play back then, but he usually let the children hide it well, and he went to find people slowly, this was one of the few relaxations he had back then time.

Li Zhiyun became interested, got up and walked slowly. Under the guidance of the little servant, he came to a garden. Across the rockery, he saw a few children playing and laughing in it.

Well, it's Li Chengming, the ninth son of the emperor, and Li Chengxi, the tenth son of the emperor, who are playing hide-and-seek with a few younger brothers.

The servants were very discerning. They saw that the saint was just quietly watching the princes playing and had no intention of going out. They didn't dare to announce His Majesty's arrival loudly, but they just retreated carefully and waited.

Seeing the joy of the younger sons, Li Zhiyun's outstretched feet stopped again.He knew very well that once he appeared, these sons would be restrained.

"Let's go back."

"According to the order."

Changle Hall.

"Three."

"Touch!" Empress Yang typed out four and accepted three from Concubine Chen.

Concubine Chen froze for a moment, glanced at Empress Yang who was in a daze, and said nothing.

After two rounds of mahjong, when Empress Yang hit three out of it, Concubine Chen couldn't help asking, "Why is my sister so absent-minded?"

"Is there?" Empress Yang asked in confusion.

Concubine Chen nodded.

Empress Yang looked at Concubine Wei Gui and Concubine Yin De again, both of them nodded.

"No." She whispered.

"Yes." Concubine Yin De said: "Sister, you have knocked out three fours in a row, which card are you going to use to win?"

Hearing this, Empress Yang looked at the piles of 'bars', 'millions' and 'tubes' in front of her, and sighed helplessly.

"Oh, I won't play anymore."

She really didn't have the mind to play cards. Ever since her son went to war, she has been a little out of her mind.Concubine Wei was the one organizing the game today, and she just reluctantly played cards with them.

Seeing this, Concubine Yin De felt a little pity, but she was about to win.

Concubine Chen gently squeezed the mahjong in her hand, and asked, "Are you worried about His Royal Highness?"

There is nothing to hide, Queen Yang nodded and admitted.

The three women looked at each other, and they all tried to persuade the queen with kind words, but most of the words were just tasted, and there was no deep talk.Because it's about government affairs, they won't say anything casually.
