A feast in the county yamen prison of Chang'an County is finally over.
A group of dandies were so drunk that they were helped out of the prison by the Yamen servants and sent back to their respective houses.
Under the service of Zhao's prison head and the jailer, Li forgets worry and lies down comfortably on the brand-new bedding and sleeps.
In his cell, not only the bedding was sent by Cui Luo, but also the bed was moved in, and even the mat was spread and several cases were put on.
This is simply comparable to the treatment of the hostel, even worse. At least there will be no guests sleeping in the hostel, and there are a group of prison guards on duty outside.
While Li forgets sorrow and a group of dandies are sleeping soundly, in the Liangyi Hall of Taiji palace, Li Erzheng talks about state affairs with a group of important courtiers such as changsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui.
In Liangyi hall, only a few ministers can enter here to discuss state affairs with Li Er, so they behave casually.
The relationship between kings and officials in the Tang Dynasty is not as strict and hierarchical as that of later dynasties. All the ministers knelt down in the hall when they went to the court. In the Song Dynasty, they stood and had no seats.
When Tartars arrived in the Qing Dynasty, they had to kneel
This is the so-called Tang sitting, song standing and Qing kneeling.
In the Liangyi hall, Li Er and the ministers sit more casually. They can cross legged and sit down. Even it's no problem for the internal waiter to take a few and sit obliquely.
Li Er is an emperor who treats his officials well. For Cheng Yaojin and Li Jing, these founding generals, there is no fire celebration building or a cup of wine to release their military power. They can be described as magnanimous emperors.
While they were discussing state affairs, a servant in the palace walked up to Li Er and whispered a few words in his ear. Li Er couldn't help grinning.
"Ha ha, Xuanling, Ruhui, you should listen to this." Li Erchong gestured to the waiter to tell the public.
The Chamberlain saluted all the officials before telling the story of what happened in Chang'an County Yamen today.
When Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui heard that their son had gone to the county government with a group of dandies, they couldn't help twitching their faces.
"Your Majesty, I'm really ashamed of my poor discipline." Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui quickly stood up and bowed to Li Er.
Li Er smiled and waved his hand: "a group of young men are not worth being angry. Why did they go to the county government of Chang'an County?"
The latter one asked the waiter. The waiter quickly replied, "Your Majesty, it's because Li forgetful in Huxian county was put in prison in Chang'an County, so they went to make trouble and let Cui Ming's house release people."
Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui, who were originally embarrassed, looked at each other as soon as they heard the waiter's words. They were not in a hurry. They all sat back again.
Including changsun Wuji, they all set their eyes on Li Er.
Is Li forgetful again? Why was he sent to prison by Chang'an County?
Li Er coughed and was about to ask about the situation, but he heard the waiters outside the hall shouting: "Your Highness the queen!"
The empress of the Tang Dynasty is called her highness, not the empress in later TV dramas. The palace refers to the palace. The empress changsun lives in the political palace, so she is honored as her highness.
Li Er couldn't talk about it, so he quickly got up and ran to meet his daughter-in-law.
They are deeply in love and young husband and wife. Empress Chang sun married Li Er at the age of 13.
She gave birth to two sons and a daughter for Li Er, and her eldest son, Li Chengqian, was Crown Prince of the Tang Dynasty. Empress Chang sun's position in Li Er's heart is far from comparable to those concubines in the harem.
Li Er carefully helped the empress Chang sun, who was five or six months pregnant, into the Liangyi hall. All the officials, including Chang sun Wuji, saluted and said hello.
Let the waiter get the cushion and hold the empress changsun to sit down. Li Ercai smiled and asked, "why did the Guanyin maid come? You are pregnant. Let the waiter say anything."
"Erlang, it's not the first time I'm pregnant. I'm not so delicate. The doctors of Shang medicine bureau also let me walk more." empress Chang Sun said with a smile, "I've cooked white dragon's nest. I'm afraid you're hungry when I think of talking about state affairs. I'll send some to you to try."
She waved, and the waiters gave Li Er and his ministers a bowl of fish soup.
White dragon is a meat soup made of mandarin fish. It is very fresh and thick. It is the best in the Tang Dynasty.
"Thank you, your highness. The white dragon is my brother, but I haven't tasted your craft for many years. Today I'm in the light of your majesty." changsun Wuji joked. As his own sister, empress changsun has a very good relationship.
"Big brother, can't you stop your mouth with food?" the eldest Sun Queen pretended to be angry.
Li Er didn't take part in the affairs between their brothers and sisters. He just motioned Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui to eat the fish soup. The fish soup must be eaten while it is hot. It will be fishy when it is cold.
"Erlang, just now I overheard the waiter say that the Li Xiaolang in Huxian county was imprisoned by the county government of Chang'an County. Why?" empress Chang sun suddenly asked.
Li Er didn't know the situation, so he turned his eyes to the waiter who came to report and asked him to explain the situation to the people.
"The Baiqi company paid back. Twelve days ago, the Secretary household of Chang'an County joined the army to enlist the spring in Dingzhou village, Huxian County, and transferred 1000 stone official grain to Yinzhou warehouse. Li forgetful is also among the Ding households." the internal attendant bowed his head and reported back.
The Baiqi division was established by Li Er after he ascended the throne to monitor the world. The internal attendant was the person responsible for transmitting the information of Baiqi division to Li Er.
Li Er suddenly frowned and interrupted: "wait, the Li family boy, I remember he just turned 16? Why does Chang'an County Secretary join the army and enlist him for corvee?"
The Chamberlain hesitated and replied, "when Si Hu joined the army, he said he was seventeen years old..."
Li Er couldn't help humming coldly, and the eldest grandson empress also glared at the waiter.
The Chamberlain's back was so cold and sweaty that his Highness The Empress stared. This terrible thing was done by the Sima of Chang'an County who joined the army. It wasn't done by one of his Chamberlain. It's really resentful on the back of the pot.
"Go on!" Li Erleng said.
"Yes, seven days ago, the grain transport team of Dingzhou village set out from Chang'an warehouse and returned to Chang'an yesterday. Today, Li forget worry and Dingzhou village were going to Chang'an County to make a job. The Secretary joined the army. He didn't believe they had completed the transfer of official grain, so he tore up the slip and detained them as a county government prison."
The waiter quickly told the story. Li Er and Chang sun Wuji were stunned. In seven days, they went back and forth between Chang'an and Yinzhou, and also transported 1000 stone official grain?
It sounds like it's right for that household to join the army? If someone does this to them, they won't believe it.
Li Er coughed and asked, "can you confirm that what the Li boy said is true or false?"
"Baiqi company has sent people to Yinzhou to check. We will be able to reply to the news in the future."
It takes about three days to travel to and from Yinzhou.
Hearing the speech, Li Er nodded: "in this way, let the Li family boy stay in the county yamen prison of Chang'an County and learn a lesson."
He looked at Fang Xuanling again: "Xuanling, please take care of it and check it. What's the reason?"
Fang Xuanling got up and bowed his hands: "I will try my best."
The eldest grandson empress was dissatisfied and said, "Erlang, anyway, Xiao Lang of the Li family is only 16 and has not reached the crown. His parents are dead at home. It's very pitiful. How can you throw him in that prison like this? Suffer such inhuman torture?"
She doesn't know that Li forgets worry is not suffering in prison, but very comfortable
