back to ancient times to be emperor

Chapter 872 You must guard against it!

Chang'an City, inside the palace.

A servant held a secret report and said respectfully, "Your Majesty, there is a secret report from the Supervision Department..."

"Let's put it down!" Lu Chengqi continued to review the memorial without raising his head.

There are a lot of troubles recently. Some unscrupulous merchants shoddy the market order and disturbed the market order.

"Hmph, isn't it just those officials and businessmen!" Lu Chengqi said disdainfully.

The so-called official business is a unique term in Dashun, which is different from imperial merchants and civil merchants.Huangshang understands it very well, that is, Huangzhuang, which is the emperor's private treasury.Civil merchants are ordinary merchants; while official merchants are people whose family members are officials in the court and hold power to do business.

Since ancient times, officials and senior officials have crushed people to death, and so have officials and businessmen.Relying on the advantage of tax exemption, they are fighting price wars on prices, or they are shoddy, short-sighted, and dedicated to illegal things.

These officials and businessmen thought that Dashun has [-] million people, if this person does not buy it, there will always be a fool who will buy it.That is to say, officials and businessmen can do this. The Imperial Business is Lu Chengqi's private treasury, and it is also responsible for the welfare of the welfare homes, nursing homes, and pharmacy bureaus. It is impossible to dig the Great Wall by itself.Not to mention civil and business, if there is no integrity, they will struggle.

Just as he was upset, Lu Chengqi suddenly caught a glimpse of the servant standing there, frowned and said, "Why don't you back down? Hey, Gao Hao, why are you back? Didn't I ask you to serve the prince!"

That servant was Gao Hao, and said respectfully: "The crown prince has returned to the palace, and the empress asked the younger one to inform His Majesty..."

"The prince has returned to the palace? Isn't he going to school, what are you doing back?" Lu Chengqi said in a bit of astonishment.

Gao Hao said respectfully: "Your Majesty, have you forgotten? Today is a day of rest, and the same is true for Meng Xue..."

Lu Chengqi slapped his head: "So it's a holiday!"

After thinking about it, Lu Chengqi still felt that he would not go to the Kunning Palace. The pile of memorials was half as high as a person, and it might not be finished in the afternoon. "How about this, let the prince come to the Chui Gong Palace!"

"According to the order!"

Gao Hao was about to step back when Lu Chengqi suddenly called him back: "Wait a minute, how is the prince doing recently?"

"His Royal Highness is still like this recently, no one in the elementary school knows his identity..."

Lu Chengqi said lightly: "I'm just asking, what did he learn in the Royal Military Academy?"

Gao Hao suddenly knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, the little one will die!"

Lu Chengqi was stunned: "What's wrong?"

"His Royal Highness must learn from those cadets of the Royal Military Academy. They usually go out for exercises and training. They say it is to hone their muscles and willpower. No matter how small you are, you can't persuade them!"

It was the first time Lu Chengqi heard about it, and he felt a pain in his heart. His son is only seven years old this year!Then I felt a burst of comfort, the heavens will send a great mission to the people, and they must first suffer from their will, exhaust their muscles and bones, starve their skin and skin, impoverish their bodies, and disturb their actions.So be tempted to endure and gain what you can't.The heir of a country can shoulder the fate of a country, which proves that he has the country and the people in his heart.

What kind of prince is a qualified prince?Lu Chengqi thought that his son was!
"Don't do your business, what you did is right, but what the prince did, I am so relieved! Get up and call him!" Lu Chengqi said slowly.

As if Gao Hao had been pardoned, he trotted out of the Chui Gong Hall.

Lu Chengqi put aside the memorial presented by the magistrate of Suzhou, picked up the secret report from the supervisory department, picked up the wax, took out the cipher book, and started translating.The hidden message was not long, and Lu Chengqi translated it three times, five times and two times, and it was connected in one sentence: "Emperor Liao wants to invade the south, and Yelu Yixin designed to stop it."

Lu Chengqi was secretly startled: "This Yelu Hongji, has he lost his mind? Just now he was wounded by Jurchen, and he dared to provoke Dashun? Is he really Dashun, or the Dashun he was ten years ago! However, this It was beyond my expectation, just like the little Japanese invaded China back then, who would have thought that he would do it suddenly? But the difference in strength is huge, even if the Khitans are caught off guard, they will not be able to make any waves. No, Khitan People are wolves with ambitions, so we have to guard against them. We still have to ask the Privy Council and the Military Staff to come and study how to secretly increase the number of troops..."

Thinking of this, Lu Chengqi immediately got up and looked at the world map.

"It takes five days from Linhuang Mansion to Datong Mansion and Youzhou. These five days are calculated according to the speed of horseback riding. If the Khitans want to attack the city, they will definitely bring supplies, food and infantry. In this way , the speed will definitely slow down. Just like Yelu Chongyuan’s southern criminals, it took more than [-] days to reach Youzhou City after dispatching troops. Although the Khitan’s logistics supplies are relatively close, I have been in Youyun Ten for so many years. The layout of the six prefectures is not in vain!" Lu Chengqi knew in his heart that for so many years, Huangzhuang had been secretly hoarding rations, equipment, weapons, and armor for the army, and scattered them in the sixteen prefectures of Youyun.

Although these materials were all allocated from the treasury and the Military Weapons Supervision, the way through Huangzhuang was more deceptive.There will never be more than ten people who know this.

Lu Chengqi couldn't believe it, the secret work of the Khitan people was able to learn such an important secret!
"Now the imperial army is short..." Lu Chengqi said to himself, "Once the imperial army is in place, it will be too late for the Khitan people to cry for their fathers and mothers!"

"Father, who wants to cry for father and mother?"

A childish voice sounded, and Lu Chengqi turned his head, only to see a small man in purple clothes standing in the hall with a smile.

"Xu'er, are you back?"

"Well, Daddy, I have a rest today, and my husband is going home too..."

Lu Chengqi looked at the son in front of him, and found that he was a little thinner and darker, his skin didn't look like that of a seven-year-old baby, and his face was actually a little chapped.As a parent, how can you not feel sorry for your son, Lu Chengqi only felt his nose a little sour, walked in front of Lu Houxu, and stopped him into his arms: "Daddy told you to stay away from the palace and your mother, do you blame daddy? "

"At the beginning, I was a little resentful, but I stopped complaining..." Lu Houxu also rarely behaved like an ordinary child, throwing himself into Lu Chengqi's arms and acting like a spoiled child, happy in his heart, and accidentally told the truth.

Lu Chengqi touched his face distressedly, the chapped skin was no longer smooth like a child's, but had a rough feeling: "Why don't you complain?"

Lu Houxu is a child after all, he said with a smile: "There are not so many people in the palace to play with me, not so many people to accompany me to study, it's too boring."

Lu Chengqi was taken aback for a moment, he hadn't expected this level.People, after all, are still social animals. If they don't return to the group, they don't know how they will be distorted.

"And I also know that Daddy is doing it for my own good. Before, I didn't understand why Dashun said that our Dashun was still in crisis, but now I understand. Daddy, you don't know that in Chang'an, in Jingzhao Mansion, there is still There are such poor people! They eat chaff and vegetables, and they can’t eat a meal of white flour all year round, but they also work hard, and they are not necessarily worse than others. Why are they so poor? I thought for a long time, and I felt that those landlords were bad. The rent they received was so high, and they had to pay off their debts, so they had to live so hard..."
