Chapter 286 The East Palace

My mother made me listen to the government in the ear room again.Not only that, but I was also allowed to enter the Secret Pavilion to read the old scrolls—but the ministers were still not allowed to know, so every time I asked Cui Mingde to take the scrolls for me in the name of my mother, and she would send them back after reading them.

Just like the friendship between A Huan and me, the fact that Cui Mingde and I have a friendship is well known in the palace.My mother is not disgusted with Cui Mingde's contact with me, on the contrary, she seems a little happy to see it come true. Whenever she has a message, something to give me, or a summons, she will mostly ask Cui Mingde to come in person, and she will not talk to me. Cui Mingde is mentioned frequently.Thanks to Cui Mingde's help, within one or two months, I have a clear understanding of the current situation, and I can always answer a question or two when my mother asks her questions.

Since the change of Tang Dynasty to Zhou Dynasty, the major events in the court have been continuous murders, so that the current court class is shorter than before, at least one-third. Legend has it that some courtiers have to say goodbye to their families every time they go to court. In the aftermath, when they returned home, the family rejoiced, as if they had received amnesty; first, they continued to sing praises for the new dynasty. In addition to continuing to contribute to auspiciousness, there were also various statues of Buddha, Mingtang, and the construction of various prefectures and counties in the world. Dayun Temple, pronouncing ancestors, offering sacrifices, honoring titles, enshrining Zen, my mother has granted Zen to Mount Tai last year, and her honorary title has been changed to "Emperor of the Holy God", but Wu Chengsi is still writing a letter, please add "Golden Wheel" In order to show that the emperor is the reincarnation of the Buddha, and please confer the title of Songshan, but in my opinion, my mother seems to be a little tired of accepting Xiangrui for so many years, and she seems not very enthusiastic about the honorary title and Fengchan; but the daily state of the country Not only has the operation not been abandoned due to the Yuan Revolution, but it has also been reformed: the imperial examination has recently overselected candidates and awarded many officials, but once they fail to pass, they are dismissed quickly, so many insightful people from poor families Although the wind of informants was strong, Di Renjie, Li Zhaode and other recognized capable ministers kept them. Di Renjie was demoted to other counties because of the informant, and was called back in September to become the censor Zhongcheng; A total of ten tax reductions have been made, and every year, the old people in the world and the people of the Wu family have to be given silk, and they insist on meeting all the local officials above the governor in person, and tell them to take care of the people and love the people, so the people are still stable; The military is quite disadvantageous-there were frequent rebellions at the beginning of my mother's accession to the throne, and there were rebellions from Lingnan hunters and Guangzhou Tibetan merchants. The court was busy suppressing it, and the Turks took the opportunity to invade. When they moved to Ganzhou, Anxi and other capitals were in constant chaos. The imperial court had no generals and was powerless to suppress it. However, there were no rebellions in the past one or two years. The officials supervise the ship trade in Guangzhou, Yangzhou, Yizhou and other cities. Since the country is stable, it is only a matter of time before the borders are stable-this is not only my opinion, Cui Mingde also thinks so.

Right now, my mother only uses me to do trivial things, and I can’t ask about confidential matters, but because of Ashao, I have often discussed the overall situation with Cui Mingde in private. The practice of giving things, fighting wars, building wantonly, and enshrining Zen, the treasury will not be able to support it sooner or later. If we want to raise troops to quell Anxi and recover Anbei in the future, we must find ways to expand financial resources.

Cui Mingde went one step further than I thought. He used the opportunity of entering and exiting the secret pavilion to inquire about the country's use of troops and expenditures. Counting eight or nine is inseparable from ten-the monthly fee is at least hundreds of thousands of guan, and as many as several million guan-this number is really unexpected.

In the last month or so of the second year of my longevity, I spent my time learning about the government affairs, not knowing whether it should be regarded as preview or tutoring. By the way, I met Dugu Shao a few times during these days. In Cui Mingde's mind, when she gently asked her, she just said: "It's not like going to war with people directly, but go to Anbei to guard the fields and wait for the opportunity, don't worry." Clever, but actually arrogant, with a stubborn temper, you should take care of her in the palace—since she has voted for you, you, the master, can't even protect your subordinates, right?" Patting me on the back, hitting my shoulder, acting like a soldier, I couldn't laugh or cry at this couple's awkwardness, so I had to agree on both sides, and went to the palace to complain to A Huan, but she rolled her eyes again: "The two of them I don’t want to meet with you, so I use you as an errand, you don’t ask someone to beat them out, you only know to talk to me, and I can’t go to fight for Dugu Shao, what’s the use of talking to me?”

Since that day, Ah Huan never asked me about the painting again, but she was always a little bit weird.

Fortunately, apart from A Huan and Cui Er, I also have Li Dan and Shou Li, my younger brothers and nephews. When encountering unpleasant things, I find these little ones to tease and tease them, and then I get rid of it - said my mother. He asked me to help Li Dan from the sidelines, but in fact he ordered me to take full charge of this matter. Li Dan, Shouli, and Li De are all well-known, and they are just like studying in the East Palace.But there are no serious masters, and in the end it is they who study and the bachelors compile the books. I sometimes look at the progress of the bachelors and share my own opinions for them to check, and sometimes I look at the progress of Li Dan and the others. I understand, the few children are unwilling to ask the bachelor, but they all come to ask me. If I know, I just explain a few words casually. It's editing books, but in the end it's more like half-children and half-teaching.

Li De is a few years old, Li Wei is silent by nature, Li Dan has a restrained temperament after the abolition of the emperor, and he is very respectful when he meets me, but they are easy to discipline, but Shouli and Li De's younger brother Qianli are the most difficult to control : After Shouli met me for a few times, I don’t know whether he remembered the past or what his mother said to him. Every day, I would follow me on the way to the East Palace. I can't help but look like a little follower, and I am shy in front of people, but I am very easy to ask after people, and I ask all kinds of strange questions, such as "Why do birds fly", "Why do Tibetans look different from us" and so on. It’s already good, I can barely explain it with some knowledge of the two lives, such as “what’s at the end of the sky” and “is there a universe beyond the universe”, or I can fool the past with nonsense, but “Buddha is really Does it exist?" "Why is one plus one two" I can't stand it at all, and I often have to rely on sentences like "Study hard and grow up and you will know", and recently there are signs that I can't be fooled; Qianli's The name was given by his mother, he is young, he is a bit respectable among the emperors and grandchildren, and the people in the palace are quite tolerant, so he became more and more wanton. At first, he was a little restrained in front of me, and he only climbed into the tree when I was not around. , catching birds and fishing, making a lot of noise. He is an upgraded version of the young Li Dan. However, a few days ago, he caught a cub from nowhere and kept it in the royal garden of the palace, only a few hundred away from the garden where his mother often went. At the next step, Guan Yuan's servant went to A Huan to complain several times, but A Huan couldn't control him, so he threw him to me. I came forward and asked someone to send the tiger to Gai Yuan to be locked up in a cage, and this guy resented me. When I was in bed, every day when I was teaching Li Dan to read, he quarreled a lot, and learned to keep the etiquette. He asked many strange questions, and he laughed when I ran out of words. Ren Pain—It just so happened that today I was in a bad mood, so Yue Xing found an excuse to clean up this kid.

I was thinking all the way on my waist, and saw Shouli standing outside the Baisun courtyard again, bowing obediently and saying: "Auntie." When I got close, there was a smile on that little face: "Is Auntie going to the East Palace too? Shouli Li and Auntie will go together."

No matter how troublesome he is, he is also Ah Huan's son, I smiled unconsciously, nodded and said: "Okay." I wanted him to walk with me, but he refused, and insisted on staying with me On the other side, I was walking on foot. When I saw him, I already thought about how to deal with thousands of miles. I smiled and said: "What are Da Lang and his brothers doing these days? It will be New Year's Day soon, and there will be a big banquet at that time, maybe your majesty I want to call you all to take the test, but have you studied hard?"

The author has something to say: Ah, did I forget to say that Zetian adopted the Zizheng calendar of the Zhou Dynasty after he ascended the throne. January, February as usual.
