Great Tang princess

After Shangguan Wan'er's explanation, Li Yuechen probably understood the ins and outs of the matter.

Simply put, when Wu Sansi went to report the situation, Ji Xu happened to be there.

Although he is Yushi Zhongcheng, he is also a minister of the country anyway, so let him discuss with him.

Because the content of the report compiled yesterday is not particularly comprehensive, the information in many places is inaccurate.

Ji Xu told Wu Sansi that he needed more information to make a more specific analysis.

Wu Sansi told him that military secrets cannot be disclosed too much without permission.

This sentence suddenly made Ji Xu unable to bear it, and immediately scolded loudly that because your military is now keeping secrets, we, the important officials of the court, do not know the specific information.

Of course, Wu Sansi couldn't stand him talking like that, so he just started spraying.

When it comes to spraying people, Ji Xu has never been afraid of anyone.

So the two began to spray each other in front of the emperor.

……

After listening to the explanation, Li Yuechen was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said: "Understood, after all, you are here for me?"

"Wan'er doesn't think so." Shangguan Wan'er shook her head, "Continuing with this person, he has always been arrogant, even a saint dares to contradict him. If he is really dissatisfied with His Highness, he will not beat around the bush like this."

Princess Xuancheng smiled and said: "I think this person is dissatisfied with the current system. The military is completely under the jurisdiction of the royal family. As he said, there is no information on many things..."

Shangguan Wan'er said: "In short, the sage is very dissatisfied with Ji Xu now."

"Hey, literati, after all, there is some arrogance on his body, which is normal." Li Yuechen waved his hand, too lazy to continue paying attention.

……

The next morning, after practicing the exercises, Li Yuechen went to the palace to accompany his mother.

When I came to Jixian Temple, I heard Ji Xu's voice before I could go in.

When I entered the hall, I happened to see him standing in front of the table complaining to the emperor about how bad the military system is now.

It seems that just talking about these things is not enough, and even complained about the shit that Wu Sansi brothers did back then.

Li Yuechen, who came in quietly and happened to hear it, felt a little confused, good guy, you are really brave.

No matter how much the emperor doesn't like her nephew, he is also a child of her Wu family.

In this era of serious clan concepts, no matter how bad the people in my clan are, only I can teach them a lesson, not outsiders.

You speak ill of the Wu family here, you are really not afraid of being missed by the emperor!

Just when he was complaining wantonly, Wu Zetian suddenly raised his hand and interrupted him.

"Okay, I already know what you said, so I don't need to say more! Back then, Taizong had a horse named Lion Cong, which was fat and incapable of being tamed. I was a court maid, and I said to Taizong: 'A concubine can control it. However, three things are required! Iron whip, iron scorpion, and dagger. If the iron whip is not satisfied, the head will be smashed, and if the iron whip is not satisfied, the dagger will be used to cut off the throat.' Taizong strengthened my ambition! Today, Qing wants to try My dagger?!"

Hearing this almost undisguised threat, Ji Xu shivered suddenly.

Li Yuechen, who was watching secretly, raised his eyebrows, yo, so you are also afraid of death.

Seeing you contradict the emperor, I thought you were tougher than Di Renjie.

You know, my mother is a person who will kill her if she disagrees with her. It has been many years since I have seen anyone who dares to confront her head-on.

How was Di Renjie back then?That's how dare he talk to his father in a weird way in the court hall.

What now?Are you still obedient with your mother?I didn't dare to be stubborn with her at all, I would talk about things after I came down.

But the story she told... seems to have been heard somewhere.

Li Yuechen, who was hiding at the door, thought about it secretly.

Back then, there seemed to be such a passage in the TV series, and it seemed that because of this incident, Emperor Taizong thought she was too vicious, so he ignored her.

But after coming to this era, I feel that this matter is a bit nonsense.

Leaving aside whether this incident really happened, even if it was true, it is unlikely that Emperor Taizong would have any objections to her because of this.

Still the same sentence, it was the most abundant period of Tang Wude at that time.

In this era, women are men, and men are like animals.

In Taizong's era, it was a common activity to go hunting when there was nothing to do.

It's eerie to imagine such a picture in the context of this era.

Going out to hunt, concubine A said: "Your Majesty, I shot a deer to death!"

Taizong said: "Baby is really powerful, huh!"

Concubine B said: "Your Majesty, one arrow shot two eagles."

Taizong said: "Baby is really powerful, huh!"

At this time Wu Zetian came out and said, "Your Majesty, I can train Lion Cong."

Taizong said: "Fuck! What a vicious woman! What did Lion Cong do wrong and you want to treat it like this? I killed my brother and killed my younger brother. I am not as vicious as you! Get out! I don't want to see you again!"

……

Just think about it carefully, if my grandfather, the samurai Xun, didn't owe the emperor money, this kind of thing shouldn't have happened.

And the most important thing is the sentence after my mother, "Taizong strengthens my ambition!"

In other words, Taizong seemed to support her courage back then.

Of course, I don't know if this is true or not.

Still the same sentence, in the history books, all the records before she became a queen have disappeared completely.

So it's really hard to say whether this thing actually happened.

Maybe it was just said at this time to scare Jixu.

……

After telling the story, Wu Zetian glanced at the door.

After spotting her daughter, she immediately put on a smiling face: "Okay, I'm a little busy today, so I won't leave Aiqing for tea."

When Ji Xu heard this, he quickly saluted and left.

When leaving Jixian Temple, seeing the princess coming in, he hurriedly saluted: "I have seen Her Royal Highness!"

"Ji Yushi is exempt."

The two of them were not polite, and Ji Xu hurried out.

Li Yuechen looked back and found that his back was completely soaked!

Then he walked in with a smile.

Wu Zetian turned his head and glanced at her: "How long have you been eavesdropping?"

"Oh, how can this be called eavesdropping? I just heard it by the way, so I didn't come in."

While speaking, Li Yuechen asked Shangguan Wan'er to pour him a cup of tea with gestures.

Wu Zetian didn't bother to dwell on this question: "However, what he said has some truths. The information from your Ministry of War is not clear. How can they make an accurate judgment?"

"Regarding the military, it is a matter of the Ministry of War. Letting them discuss it is only from an administrative point of view. Military operations do not require them to make judgments. The army has its own staff." Li Yuechen replied.

"Aniang, I still say the same thing. There are specialties in surgery, so it's good to let professional people do professional things." Li Yuechen reached out to take the tea cup handed over by Shangguan Wan'er, and said, "And responsible for the two The combination of the two is the emperor himself."

Then he added: "Of course, this is the ideal state in the future. After all, Auntie is not from the army and doesn't know much about the military, so let the child do the work for me at this time."

……

The two of them didn't talk too much about this matter, and Wu Zetian didn't know much about it. Anyway, when there is a need for military matters, just ask directly.

Anyway, Li Yuechen, Minister of the Ministry of War, is also a member of the cabinet, although the cabinet meetings have always been done by Li Dan.

Generally, there will be a special person responsible for recording the contents of the meeting, and it will be enough to show it to Li Yuechen to take a look at that time, saving a lot of time listening to nonsense.

The two turned to chatting about the bank.

Now that Li Yuechen plans to start deposit and loan business, Wu Zetian knows about it.

So he asked, "What's the difference between your loan and the company's money?"

"The difference is huge!"

Li Yuechen explained: "The company's money is forcing people to borrow money forcibly, and the bank loan will not force it. To put it bluntly, if I want to borrow it, I may not necessarily borrow it."

"Oh? Then how to guarantee the income?"

"Reputation!" Li Yuechen raised a finger, "This is also the reason why I came to discuss with Auntie today. The bank can be linked to the country's reputation. In this way, no one will worry about borrowing. Besides, borrowing money also needs to be considered." The repayment ability of the other party is the only thing. Not everyone can borrow.”

After all, a bank is a commercial institution rather than a charitable institution, and all business must be based on guaranteed income.

Now that the issuance and circulation of banknotes are going smoothly, the banking business can gradually improve.

In the future, when more people deposit money, the investigation of the market economy will also play a big role.

This kind of thing is obviously beyond the outline for Wu Zetian, and it is difficult to understand the complicated issues involved.

She didn't say much, just nodded and said: "In that case, then I will listen to you."

……

Li Yuechen stayed in the palace until the evening, and only after dinner did he leave work with Shangguan Wan'er.

When they came to the gate of the palace, the two got into the carriage and went home.

Since the curfew was lifted, the night roads are not as dark as before.

The light stolen from many teahouses and restaurants can somewhat illuminate the night road.

The carriage is on the road, and many pedestrians can be seen strolling with lanterns.

After all, summer is hot, and it is cooler to go out for a walk at night.

For some families with better conditions, servants lead the way with oil lamps.

Even at night, the streets are bustling with people.

Although it is not as lively as during the day, it is not crowded, but at least it is a relaxed and cheerful atmosphere.

Shangguan Wan'er suddenly laughed and said, "It's a lively night, and His Royal Highness said that it's why I can't sleep well at night."

"It doesn't matter, you will get used to it after a long time. Besides, if he is tired, the life of the people will be easier. If he starts to become extravagant, the life of the people will be miserable!" Li Yuechen leaned on the back of the chair and looked at the Looking at the scene outside the window, he said.

Shangguan Wan'er looked at her profile, with a smile on her face: "Speaking of which, His Highness has not changed over the years, and he has always cared about the common people!"

"Actually, how the common people live has nothing to do with me. I just want the country to be stable." Li Yuechen muttered to himself.

The concept of common people is too big, much bigger than the country, and Li Yuechen thinks he doesn't have that ability.

For myself, as long as it can make the country progress, then thank God.

Then he shook his head, not intending to continue the topic, but instead asked: "How about your mother come in?"

Shangguan Wan'er shook her head lightly: "It's still the same, Liu Fengyu said, I'm afraid time is running out."

"It's okay, isn't it possible to eat and drink every day!" Li Yuechen comforted with a smile.

Now Zheng has no obvious symptoms, but he can't eat hard vegetables, and can only drink some porridge every day, and feels uncomfortable and nauseated after eating other things.

The body also has little strength, according to what Liu Shenwei and others said, it was caused by the excessive consumption of energy and blood when he was young.

So now Li Yuechen sent someone to take care of her, and she didn't have to do any work every day, trying to make her more stable in her old age.

Shangguan Wan'er nodded: "Don't worry, Your Highness, birth, old age, sickness and death are human nature, Wan'er understands."

Recently, she has been taking care of her mother, and she has done everything she can. It can be said that she has done the filial piety that a daughter should do.

Li Yuechen nodded: "If you need anything, just say it."

"Wan'er understands."

……

The next day, in the afternoon, Li Yuechen continued to come to the Ministry of War to process documents.

Because she usually has to practice exercises in the morning, she usually comes after lunch.

As a princess, she blatantly goes to work for half a day every day, so naturally no one dares to say anything.

It's just that Li Yuechen also knows that it's better not to do such things in the future.

After all, under the influence of others, it may bring about a bad atmosphere.

The weather was hot, Wu Sansi came in shortly after he came to the office and sat down.

Still holding a bowl of Sushan in his hand, he said with a smile: "Your Highness, the weather is so hot, let's use a bowl of Sushan to relieve the heat."

Li Yuechen looked at him with raised eyebrows.

This cousin usually treats him with respect and distance, why did he take the initiative to come here today to show his hospitality?

"Cousin, if you have something to do, just speak up." Li Yuechen accepted Su Shan with a smile.

Because of the principle of high secrecy, the Ministry of War will be searched here every day, just like the imperial court, so there is no need to worry about problems with Sushan.

It is impossible to bring in poison and the like.

Wu Sansi's expression was a bit tangled: "This... a few days ago, my subordinates had a conflict with Yu Shi Zhongcheng..."

Li Yuechen understood it as soon as he heard it. To put it bluntly, he was afraid that he would offend Yushi Zhongcheng in the future, and it would not be easy to mix in the court.

It can't be said that he is afraid, he is the emperor's nephew, and he will be fine if he doesn't die.

But to offend the censor, after all, it is somewhat troublesome.Among other things, no one will be able to stand up to causing trouble for you every once in a while in the future because of a trivial matter that is usually a sesame seed.

Li Yuechen smiled slightly and said: "My cousin was representing the Ministry of War at that time, besides, we are right, aren't we? Why are you afraid of him?"

With these words, Wu Sansi immediately felt relieved, and his originally tangled expression immediately relaxed.

"Is there anything else, cousin?" Li Yuechen asked.

"There are some."

Only then did Wu Sansi realize that there were other matters, and reported immediately: "Your Highness made a plan for this year's military exercises last year. Here are the detailed regulations..."

While speaking, he took out a scroll from his pocket and handed it over.

Talk about private matters first and then business matters, you are such a clever little ghost... Li Yuechen took it while complaining in his heart.

The plan for the military exercise was set last year. Because the football match was canceled, this matter was brought up in a timely manner, which can be regarded as a way to keep the soldiers under competitive pressure.

Now that the charter is in place, it's almost ready to be implemented.
