Empress work daily

Chapter 11
Tang Chongjian looked at it, his face was full of astonishment, and his remarks before he had time to express stopped.

Ji Qiang's expression made him wonder, is it my old eyes that are dim?

His majesty's sad expression is not because he has been wronged, nor is it because he is young and has not yet mastered the art of "emotion and anger are not shown in color".He actually read some pity for him, an old minister, from that sad expression.

absurd!

It's ridiculous!
Don't mention the relationship between the monarch and his ministers, just say that he is an old man who is over half a year old, but he is pitied by a 14-year-old girl.

Tang Chongjian couldn't understand, but was at a loss.

Ji Qiang's expression was not intentional, it was because of Tang Chongjian's frank words and deeds that instantly pulled her to Ji Yu's "court" in his previous life.

It was the same situation that day. Ji Yu had a whim and wanted to build a large cultivation palace on the basis of Shanglin Garden. Tang Chongjian also said that he had no money.

Tang Chongjian was trembling with anger. In the years of disasters, the people were already living in dire straits. As a king, he did not want to save the people from the fire and reduce taxes.
If there were no thousands of Li people, where would the Daliang Dynasty come from!

These remarks made Ji Yu Longyan furious, and ordered Tang Chongjian to be tied up on the spot, determined to use the "right to life and death" to establish her prestige, so she ignored all officials' petitions and directly ordered Tang Chongjian's life.

Before the butcher's knife fell, the emaciated Shangshu burst into tears, looked up to the sky and sighed, "The sky is going to kill me!"

……

The hall was quiet for a long time, and the searching eyes finally pulled Ji Qiang out of his memories, and nodded lightly at Tang Chongjian, as if approving him.

Then his lips and teeth parted slightly, "There is a saying among the people that the east wall is torn down to make up for the west wall. I think this statement is quite reasonable."

The girl's voice was immature and quiet, with a bit of composure. All the ministers were shocked and couldn't wait to hear the following.

However, Ji Qiang put it off for a while, and remained silent for a long time before continuing, "The repair of the Yingfang Terrace is related to the fate of the country, and it has to be repaired. However, the treasury is empty... I have a plan. I can demolish the side halls on both sides of the Wanfu Palace. Bricks, tiles and stones are used to repair the Eagle Tower, and if there is any surplus, they can also support the construction of the Xuanwu Wall, what do you think?"

No one said anything.

Most of the people were stunned, and the few who reacted quickly were thinking about the meaning behind Ji Qiang's move.

Tang Chongjian looked left and right, then looked up again, and happened to meet Ji Qiang's expectant eyes, so he had to bite the bullet and ask, "What is the reason for your majesty's move?"

"One, the materials used in the Wanfu Palace are similar to those of the Eagle Facing Terrace and the Basalt Wall. Second, the side halls on both sides of the Wanfu Palace have been vacant until now, and demolition is very cheap."

Tang Chongjian was stunned again.

Is it just that the materials used in the Wanfu Palace are the same as those used in the Eagle Tower?Isn't it true that all the bricks, tiles and stones in the entire imperial city are the same?The bricks are from Meidai Mountain, the wood is from Changbailing, and the stone is marble from Tongtian Cliff in southern Yunnan. How did it come to His Majesty that the Wanfu Palace has become a sweet pastry?
He also said that the side halls on both sides of the Wanfu Palace have been vacant so far. Could it be that someone has lived in the current "six palaces"?No matter how empty the Wanfu Palace is, the former emperor's favorite servants lived in the main hall. What about Liu Shengshi now... Speaking of Liu Shengshi, Tang Chongjian stopped complaining in his heart, and his expression became more dignified and thoughtful.

All the officials were speechless, Ji Qiang was neither anxious nor irritable, he sat upright with an indifferent expression, like a quiet statue.

She didn't look left and right because some courtiers were whispering, nor did she look around because some courtiers were running around to discuss.

This calm look alone is already surprising and extremely surprising, especially for Ji Hua who has been quietly observing her until now.

Ji Hua is the second daughter of Emperor Taizong's direct line. She has reached her forty years of age, and she has never taken a husband or surrendered, and she has never left the palace for a single step.Ji Qiang was born and grew up by her. She asked herself clearly about this child's temperament, likes and dislikes, who he likes, and who he hates since he was a child.

It is not an exaggeration to say that in this palace, there is no one or anything that can hide from her eyes.

But at this moment Ji Qiang, she couldn't see through.

The child was still the same child, his appearance hadn't changed, and even his temperament hadn't changed much, but she could no longer see through it at a glance.This feeling of embarrassment probably started with the incident of "burning the dragon's bed", and it has become more and more intense until now.

Is it because this kid used to pretend too well?She asked herself the same question, but she couldn't draw an accurate conclusion.If she denies it, she can't explain the current situation. If she affirms it, she will feel chilly and gloomy just because of this thought.

A girl who has not reached the age of hair already has this city, is there anything more terrifying than this?
For Ji Wei, if Ji Qiang at this time is compared to a hazy hill, Jiang Jian, the national teacher, is a real mountain.This mountain used to be erratic, but recently it suddenly showed its power, making people almost out of breath. Just like at this moment, Jiang Jian, who seemed to be calm and calm, might be planning something inside.

Thinking of this, Ji Wei couldn't help but glanced at Jiang Jian again, his statue-like demeanor was exactly the same as the one on the dragon chair.

It's like negotiating...

Just when Ji Hua's thoughts were disturbed, a light cough suddenly broke the stuffy atmosphere in the hall, and Yin Qilei, the imperial historian, came out solemnly.

"Your Majesty's move is really inappropriate, and I object to it."

Then there is the reason for the objection, "In places such as the Wanfu Palace, all the nobles who served the late emperor lived there. To put it bluntly, they are all the elders of His Majesty. Now, it is unreasonable for His Majesty to tear down the palace feathers of the elders." , Yu Xiandi was disrespectful."

Yin Qilei came from a poor family, and he lived up to his name. If he sincerely opposed the monarch, at least he would speak loudly. If the monarch refused to listen to persuasion and insisted on going his own way, he would definitely be furious.However, the tone of the official censor at this meeting was calm, and Ji Qiang even sensed a hint of perfunctory from it, like a routine of playing house and going through the process...

Furthermore, she really didn't see the word "oppose" from the old censor's face.

After Yin Qilei explained the reasons, Liang Yanqing, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, came out, "What Doctor Yin said is very true, and I agree with you."

If Yin Qilei's attitude was just a little perfunctory that was not easily noticed, Liang Yanqing was openly lazy, and Ji Qiang couldn't help but look him carefully.

Liang Yanqing was born in the Liang family of the Eight Great Aristocratic Families in Haojing, and her grandfather was Liang Yuanjun, the famous envoy of Emperor Taizong.

In the 25th year of Emperor Taizong, Bei Rong went south to harass the northern border. Liang Yuanjun led a mission to Bei Rong, defusing a war crisis skillfully with his three-inch tongue, but was killed on the way back to the court.Taizong was furious and wanted to send troops to attack Beirong, but the national teacher Simiao stopped him.

In the same year, Liang Yanqing, who was only four years old, inherited the ambition of his ancestors and worshiped Yan Xun, a great Confucianist in the former dynasty, as his teacher.

In the 14th year of the first emperor, 19-year-old Liang Yanqing entered the Imperial Academy to listen to politics. The next year, he was promoted to be the minister of the Ministry of Rites.Now, it is only just over [-] years old.

Ji Qiang's proposal had a mediocre response among the civil officials, but it aroused the opposition of the military generals. Except for Ji Hua, Wu Ya, the military general behind him, knelt down on the ground, calling "the ministers to submit the proposal".Afterwards, Ji Wei looked back at the prime minister pretending to be surprised, as if thinking about why the generals were so excited.

Ji Qiang paused and paused, then slowly got up, bowed respectfully in Jiang Jian's direction, and left the court.

Shang Liujia's resounding "Retreat" suddenly "woke up" the stunned officials, what is this, Your Majesty?

Angry?
Immediately, they all looked at the national teacher, but Jiang Jian didn't say a word. After Ji Qiang's back disappeared, he left with his hands behind his back.

After Ji Qiang left the court suddenly, she didn't care about the reaction of the officials, she only knew that less than half an hour after the end of the morning court, the person in the Wanfu Palace had got the news, and couldn't sit still, so he rushed to visit the Wanshou Palace Princess Wei...
