Chapter 722

Nearly a hundred officials set out from Chang'an city to Xianyang. After that, Xianyang county magistrate looked at this group of chaotang Lords. Facing their questions and glaring eyes, Xianyang county magistrate had no choice but to smile and tell the public the news that his royal highness had just returned to Chang'an city.

When the officials headed by Zhongshu, menxia and Shangshu asked why his Highness Prince of Xianyang county came and why he went back in a hurry, they did not dare to say anything more than shake their heads and smile bitterly.

Facing these court lords, the county magistrate of Xianyang had already put his heart in his throat. He was afraid that the county magistrate could not withstand the pressure of so many chaotang Lords. All of a sudden, Xianyang county magistrate talked about the scenes in the underground palace.

But fortunately, when he felt his back was soaked with sweat, those court officials did not get any useful information from the county magistrate.

"Did your highness tell us what to do when we arrive?" Then he asked the provincial magistrate Xianyang.

"Your Highness has never mentioned it." Facing these big guys with a bitter smile, Xianyang county magistrate has some admiration for his determination. Today's performance is much better than when he goes to Chang'an.

At last, after a group of officials who had no authority in the three provinces and four big men discussed in a low voice, for the sake of safety, they immediately sent people to pursue the prince's highness and asked what these courtiers should do.

But anyway, this night, they will have to make do with it in Xianyang.

The curious ministers were all talking about what happened in Xianyang all the night. Why did the prince come alone all of a sudden, waiting for them to arrive, he went back in a hurry.

But no matter how low they talk, no one can guess what happened.

Even Zongzheng and Taichang didn't understand the abnormal behavior of his royal highness these two days. They didn't even realize that something was wrong with their subordinates.

Xianyang is more than a hundred miles away from Chang'an, so after dinner, the officials who walk more often will gather together and quietly talk about the abnormal behavior of his Highness the prince.

Fortunately, two days later in the early days, all the officials came back from Xianyang. Every official in the upper court still had in mind the abnormal behavior of his Royal Highness the day before yesterday in Xianyang.

Therefore, this time, compared with the relaxed atmosphere in the past, the atmosphere of the early court was much more dignified. Before the yuan day, it was still the same as the previous year's day. There were not too many big things to be handled by the crown prince.

In addition to this year's Yuan Dynasty meeting, which was listed as the top priority by his royal highness, it is the relevant government offices that are preparing all the government affairs for this year's Congress.

In order to show the prosperity of the country to foreign countries in the former Sui Dynasty, after the envoys of foreign countries arrived in Chang'an, they offered all free treatment to the envoys. Whether it was food or accommodation, the former Sui emperor Yang Guang waved his hand, and all were free.

Even after the great court meeting, the price of gifts to others is several times higher than that of gifts for congratulation.

At the end of today's court meeting, someone made a similar proposal to Li Hong, who was seated beside the Dragon chair. After all, the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty is far ahead of that of the Sui Dynasty.

Ten years ago in the Tang Dynasty, the long cherished wish of the former Emperor was far ahead of the Sui Dynasty, helping the former Emperor to realize it.

Therefore, some people began to propose whether this court meeting could show the prosperity of Tang Dynasty to foreign envoys and give them free food and accommodation.

Li Hong didn't even lift his eyelids. He threw a word to the minister who was a black sheep. Then he asked Zongzheng Temple minister and Taichang Temple minister to call Hou Sizhi and Wang Hongyi into the hall.

Li Qiao walked up to the minister who had just proposed, kicked someone else's knee socket with his foot, then leaned forward slightly and said, "do you think you have too much salary, or can't you spend too much money in your family? If you don't have enough money to spend, give it to me and I'll help you spend it. "

Li Qiao's voice was not small, and the officials on both sides naturally listened clearly, so he could not help but emit a burst of light laughter.

"Mr. Li is joking. The salary of the lower officials is not much, and the expenses of the family are not small. They all point to the salaries of the lower officials. However, it is enough to support the whole family. But if you want to take a few more concubines, you will be in a pinch. Ha ha." It's normal for officials of Tang Dynasty to take concubines. Even when Li Zhi went to the imperial court, he would ask the courtiers who liked to take concubines from time to time. Could there be any beauties in his family recently.

Therefore, it is normal to say such a remark in the face of colleagues in the court, and no one will think it is a personal misconduct.

"Then you are willing to ask your highness to pay for it? There is not enough money and concubines in my family. I'll give you an idea. During the Yuan Dynasty, envoys from all over the world come to pay homage to our Tang Dynasty. I guess the Inn and post house in Chang'an may not be enough. You can rent out your idle house and subsidize the family. " Li Qiao said with a smile.

Di Renjie walked up to Li Qiao and gently pushed him: "Mr. Li, the salary of Yushitai is the highest among all the officials in the imperial court. Naturally, you have a lot of money spilling over. Should we subsidize some of them to get lower salaries? What's more, as a doctor of the imperial historian, you know that the laws and regulations of the Tang Dynasty forbid officials to engage in business, and you even encourage colleagues in the same hall to violate the laws and regulations of the Tang Dynasty. What do you want to do? "Li Qiao looked at di Renjie, who was smiling with pockmarked face, and said in a positive manner: "Lord Di is right. I am waiting for him to go into business and impeach him in front of his highness. If your highness is surrounded by too many officials who can only elbow out, he will be a loser. I am afraid that the flourishing age of the Tang Dynasty will not last long. Do you know why? Because he didn't know how to save money for the Tang Dynasty. He didn't know that the frontier soldiers of Tang Dynasty were fighting against foreign countries. He didn't care about his own soldiers. He even had to stick his hot face to the cold buttocks of other people, so that he could get free accommodation for them! Lord Di, do you think such an official is servile? Is it the sorrow of my Tang Dynasty? If this trend rises and all the civil and military colleagues in the imperial court are so like your highness to offer advice and suggestions, what else will the Tang Dynasty give us? What reward do you give to the soldiers who have done meritorious deeds in the border areas? Although the Ministry of rites and the Honglu temple have budgets for the etiquette of envoys of various countries, but You must also understand that money is not the way to spend money and please foreign envoys? "

Faced with Li Qiao's verbal attacks, di Renjie was not angry. He still had a faint smile on his face. He waved and said, "naturally, the wind can't rise, but your Highness has inherited his Majesty's open-minded system. You can't help but ask people to put forward their own ideas. No, this is the new young minister of Dali temple. In the future, he will have to deal with the imperial historian's office I hope Mr. Li Qiao can give me more advice. "

"It's not through your Dick's back door that you've climbed to such a high position." Li Qiao is full of playful ask a way.

However, after hearing Li Qiao's words, Shaoqing of Dali Temple showed a relaxed expression on his face. Compared with Li Qiao's words just now, this sentence made him feel that it was not so harsh.

After all, I was able to get to the position of Shaoqing in Dali temple, but with his real talent and practical learning, he was not the sole supporter of Lord Di, but there was the wise eye of his royal highness in it.

As they continued to chat, some of them were clearly heard by Li Hong, who was sitting on the high platform. However, Li Hong did not have an air Council at all. They left the court for a while.

Wang Lou, the eunuch close to his mother, had just finished browsing a memorial that he had just finished reading. On the hall of the imperial court, Hou Sizhi and Wang Hongyi had arrived.

"Who is Hou Sizhi and who is Wang Hongyi?" Li Hong looked up at the two people below. He couldn't tell who was who. He asked faintly.

Both of them were in their forties and fifties. They were also white and looked elegant and indifferent.

"I have met your royal highness The two saluted Li Hong.

At this time, the two men did not know that their official career had reached the end. Even on their way to the throne, they still felt a little excited and excited. They felt that their proposal had been supported by his majesty. Would the prince reward and promote them when he called them to court today?

Since they entered the court, they felt the relaxed atmosphere and the solemn and solemn situation in chaotang, which was totally different from the solemn and solemn situation in their imagination. In their hearts, they magnified the good hope that they would be promoted to official career.

"Did you two write a memorial to your majesty a few days ago?" Li Hong looked down on the record, and then handed a memorial to Hua Meng and asked him to pass it to two people for inspection.

After hearing the speech, Hou Sizhi and Wang Hongyi immediately gave a knowing smile to Li Hong, who bowed their heads. Then they looked at each other again and said in a loud voice, "it is the two ministers who wrote a memorial for his majesty a few days ago."

"Let's see if it's this memorial. Look carefully." After saying that, Li Hong's brush in his hand snapped, and was crushed in the palm of his hand.

The vermilion ink splashed on the other messy memorials on the table. Even the back of his hand was stained with a little red ink, like blood.

With the sound of breaking, the whole xuanzheng hall, which was originally noisy, suddenly became silent and the atmosphere became dignified.

"Yes, your highness, it is indeed the memorial presented to your majesty by the two ministers. There is no mistake." Hou Sizhi and Wang Hongyi said in unison.

The second part of the invitation, as well as the expression of the silk face.
