Tang Dynasty good brother-in-law

Chapter 871

In Chang'an, Emperor Li Shimin of the Tang Dynasty has been soaking in a mountain of files for a month.

The eldest grandson Wugou was not in Chang'an, and the fourth concubine was trying to find an excuse to spend more time with Li Shimin, even if she could help grind ink at the desk, it would be enough to make people happy.

Concubine Yan De personally cooked a bowl of sea cucumber broth and sent it to Li Shimin's study.

Looking at the study that was about to become a library, Concubine Yan De frowned, put the soup down and said: "All officials get their salaries for nothing, making saints as busy as scribes."

Li Shimin pressed his forehead lightly, and he felt a bit of a headache, which was an overuse of the brain.

Concubine Yan De wanted to say something more, Li Shimin waved his hand: "Shang Shusheng has been busy for at least five or six hours every day for two consecutive months, and I am still thinking about how to give them some rewards."

Hearing Li Shimin's words, Concubine Yan De immediately changed her words: "The concubine specially ordered someone to order sea cucumbers from Laizhou, the saint wants to taste it."

"My concubine has worked hard." Li Shimin took the bowl and drank up a bowl of soup in two or three mouthfuls.

It doesn't seem to matter whether you taste it or not.

Concubine Yan De put away the empty bowl by herself, and was about to say something more but saw that Li Shimin was already busy at his desk, so she had to salute and leave.

At this time, an attendant scribe came in and handed over a lacquer box with both hands: "Sage, the Chief Secretary and the Donggang Secretary jointly signed the letter box, but neither Shangshuxing nor Xingshusi opened it."

"Open it, let me see."

Li Shimin put down the pen in his hand, and took several letters that the scribe took out from the lacquer box. After seeing the letter from Liu Mu, he put Liu Mu's letter aside, but unexpectedly found that there was a letter from Feng An. .

Li Shimin felt a little curious, isn't Feng An in Lingnan?

The first letter he opened was Feng An's letter. After Li Shimin read it quickly, he immediately picked up Liu Mu's letter and tore it open. After reading half of it, Li Shimin put the letter down and pressed one on his forehead.

Concubine Yan De intended to press Li Shimin's forehead, but she saw Li Shimin wave his hand: "My concubine should go back to the palace to rest, and order the imperial dining room to cook a red lobster sent by Concubine Liu. The four concubines will share the food and give it to Gaochang. A jug of ice wine each."

"Thank you saint." Concubine Yan De bowed and stepped back.

Li Shimin once again ordered the attendants and scribes: "Tell the imperial dining room, one shrimp, one crab, one fish, and one snail each, with six hot and four cold. Please come over with the four chief officials of the Shangshu Province, and the time will be at You hour."

"Yes." The attendant scribe saluted and left.

Half an hour later, the harem.

Even Concubine Yang, who was once the princess of the Sui Dynasty, and Concubine Wei, who was once the top nobleman in Chang'an, were surprised for a long time and couldn't keep their mouths shut.

Have eaten shrimp, who has seen a shrimp with such a long arm.

After being taken aback, Concubine Wei smiled and said, "Princess Changping is probably the first to taste the delicacies in this world. I remember that there were rumors in Chang'an City that the sage had an agreement with Concubine Liu. Princess Changping would let Hundreds of people envy, thousands of people envy, ten thousand people envy."

A maid had already cut open the lobster, and gave each of the four concubines a slice of the cut shrimp.

Concubine Wei Gui also said: "Have a half, but other sisters can enjoy it."

"Okay." Concubine Yang was the first to express her support.

Concubine Yin was somewhat unwilling, but after Concubine Yan De also agreed, she had no choice but to agree.

The maid cut off a little more, and then kept the complete shrimp shells, and the others sent them to each concubine according to their rank.Even if there is only one mouthful, it is also a reward from the four concubines. For ordinary concubines, this is a kind of courtesy, and they are grateful in their hearts.

In the front hall of Taiji Palace, the four chief officials of Shangshu Province have already taken their seats.

Originally, there were only left and right servants in the Shangshu Province, but now there are too many things, and two more people have been added. Yao Silian, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, was transferred to the Shangshu Province to receive the salary of the right servant.

He was transferred to Chang'an, the Duke of the State Liu Hongji, to be in charge of the training of conscripts in various places, the replenishment and replacement of frontier ordnance and other logistical matters, and the external affairs of the General Staff Department and the deployment of various defense areas and other auxiliary matters.

Li Shimin personally poured wine for the four of them: "Try it, this is Qiandao Red Dragon. Mu Laixin said that this Qiandao Red Dragon is barely a new grade among big lobsters, and within two years I will taste the top three top giant lobsters." Lobster. And this king crab, known as the king of crabs, haha."

Li Shi laughed.

Fang Xuanling said from the side: "I'm afraid that the name King Crab is only dared to be used by Prince Liu."

"That's why I'm laughing. If the Ministry of Rites thinks it's inappropriate, just order him to change his name. Try it."

After drinking for three rounds, Li Shimin put down his chopsticks: "My brother, this time I've stumped myself, and I've been stumped too."

"Could it be that Goguryeo is repeating itself?" Du Ruhui's first thought was that Goguryeo broke the contract, and Liu Mu was going to fight Goguryeo again.

Li Shimin shook his head: "Wenyue Pavilion already has information, and the Ministry of War also has a record. The Liuzhao is not very safe. The Ministry of War is ready to send Jingxiang soldiers to the south to help Lingnan defend against the enemy, and send [-] Chang'an defenders to Shu to prevent Liuzhao. Zhaobei, but Liumu intends to send [-] Fusang soldiers to Lingnan, and write to ask for my opinion."

Everyone put their chopsticks down.

This matter is indeed as Liu Mu once thought about it. It is not a matter at all to say that the big one breaks the sky, and that it is small.

The key lies in how everyone in the court thinks about Fusang Taoism and the positioning of Fusang people.

Right now, no one dares to define Fusang, even if many people have thought about it for a long time and have mature ideas, no one is willing to be the first to speak.

Fang Xuanling asked: "How does Concubine Liu say about this matter?"

Li Shimin first poured himself a glass of wine, put a piece of crab meat in his mouth, and then said slowly:
"He said that Fusang Dao is too peaceful and needs a little fanatical passion, the Fusang family needs nobles, and Lingnan needs brave soldiers who dare to go deep into the jungle with a horizontal knife to fight the enemy, and he Liumu can't let go of the tens of millions he is about to harvest acres of rice."

Liu Hongji said from the side: "No one can let go of tens of millions of acres of rice, otherwise, why would they decide to transfer Jingxiang soldiers to the south?"

Li Shimin shook his head slightly, and said in a slow tone after drinking the wine in the glass:
"Naturally let it go. What I think is that Fusang Dao is too peaceful. Isn't it a good thing. Liu Mu thinks this is a bad thing, and wants to break the peace. Nothing else is important. I don't care about that." I want to understand, the four lovers help me think about this issue."

Li Shimin's words were also puzzled by the four of them.

According to the etiquette of the Tang Dynasty, the most important word in the peace of the world is ping, which means peace and stability.

However, Liu Mu said that the peace of Fusang Road will change, so the meaning must be that the peace is not good.

These words are indeed worth pondering.

Li Shimin took out Liu Mu's letter and let the four of them circulate it.

　Thank you readers for your concern.

　　I have been coding for many years, and I have been working in front of a computer for many years, and I have never had the problem of uncomfortable eyes.

　　I don’t know what’s wrong this time. The doctor also advised me to replace the monitor, and then choose a lamp that is useful for indoor light adjustment. Don’t mess with those lamps that are just good-looking. The focus of the lamp is on the light source.

　　I believe it will be restored soon, and thank you readers for your concern again.
