Summon the Mythical Emperor of the World

Three days passed in a flash.

In the Hall of Longevity, Li Si listened to the report of the Minister of the Household.

Since three days ago, Li Si angrily scolded the court and asked a minister of military affairs to report the old man back to his hometown.

Officials large and small in Chang'an City did not dare to obstruct the minister of household affairs.

Of course, some officials intentionally or unintentionally concealed the land and did not report it, pretending to be ignorant.

After the Secretary of the Ministry of Housing made a clear investigation, he secretly recorded the names of these officials and reported them to the emperor.

After the emperor came forward to deal with several batches of officials, no official in the entire Chang'an City dared to conceal the land.

In just three days, the Minister of the Household has already counted the small and half aristocratic families in Chang'an City.

However, the Minister of Household was not complacent.

Because it is not the officials in Chang'an that are really difficult to count the world's land.

It's the big family from all over the place.

These aristocratic families, headed by the Jiedushi from all sides, have separated from each other, and have never respected the imperial power.

The emperor's orders, if they are happy, they may follow it, if they are not happy, they will simply ignore it.

For this, the emperors of the Tang Dynasty had no good solution.

After all, the military commanders of all parties are self-respecting and control the military power of the Tang Dynasty. Even the emperor is not willing to force it too much.

After the minister of household report finished, he exited the hall of longevity, and Li Si sat on the dragon chair and fell into deep thought.

After a while, the Minister of Rites came to see him.

"I have seen Your Majesty." The Minister of Rites knelt down and saluted.

"Get up." Li Si waved his hand: "What do you want to say about Aiqing?"

The Minister of Rites bowed and said, "Report to Your Majesty, Fan Yang, the only son of the Jiedushi of Hexi, has arrived in Chang'an and is currently waiting for His Majesty's summons outside the palace."

"Hexi Jiedushi?"

Li Si's eyes narrowed slightly.

Hexi Jiedushi is one of the Ten Great Tang Emperors, with 500,000 troops, stationed in Liangzhou.

The purpose of setting up Hexi Jiedushi was to prevent the Turkic kingdom from raiding the Tang Dynasty!

"What happened?"

Li Si raised his head and glanced at the Minister of Rites.

"Hexi Jiedushi is unwell, and the New Year is approaching, so I can't come to Chang'an in person to greet His Majesty."

"So, I deliberately asked the only son to come to Chang'an, and instead of him, I greeted His Majesty!"

The Minister of Rites said cautiously.

"Not feeling well?"

Li Si sneered: "I'm afraid I'm worried that I will kill him!"

"I'm guilty of waiting..."

The Minister of Rites was terrified, and knelt on the ground with a thud.

Li Si's eyes were calm, looking at the Minister of Rites kneeling on the ground, and said, "Let this Fan Yang wait outside the palace."

"When I have time, I will consider whether to summon him."

"The minister obeys the order!"

The Minister of Rites did not dare to say more, and after asking the emperor for instructions, he exited the Hall of Longevity.

Li Si rubbed his eyebrows.

Datang's Jiedushi system was originally intended to guard the frontier for the Datang royal family to defend against foreign enemies.

However, up to now, the jiedu envoys from all over the country cannot lose their tails, and they violate the emperor's orders.

In Li Si's view, there is only one reason for this.

Power imbalance.

The local governors have the right to form an army, the right to levy taxes on the people within the scope, and the right to appoint and remove soldiers.

Even, Datang had to meet the various needs of Jiedushi.

In this case, how can there be no problem?

Perhaps the first generation of Jiedushi was loyal and would not think of rebellion.

But what about the second and third generation?

With such great power, there is no check and balance.

As long as one of the juniors is a little bit ambitious...

The results are predictable!

Just as Li Si was thinking,

The eunuch came into the palace to report: "Report to your majesty, the queen mother asked majesty to go to Yong'an Palace, saying that she was watching the beautiful girl who entered the palace."

Li Si waved his hand: "Got it."

Li Si already knew about the large-scale draft of the queen mother to the people.

It's just that the empress dowager just chose some beautiful girls, and did not force the emperor to accept the concubine, so Li Si also turned a blind eye.

Li Si got up and ordered to go down and set up Yongan Palace.

"Your Majesty, let your servant go with you."

"It's been a long time since I saw my aunt."

When Tantai Yiren saw the emperor, he couldn't help but say.

Li Si looked at Tantai Yiren: "Okay, come with you too."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Tantai Yiren smiled happily.

She followed the emperor to Yong'an Palace, and of course the main purpose was not to see the queen mother.

Tantai Yiren is a competitor who is ready to take a look at his future in advance.

Tantai Yiren knew very well that this batch of beautiful girls who entered the palace had the same purpose as him.

Hope to gain the emperor's favor, and then go to the sky.

Soon, Li Si came to Yongan Palace.

The empress dowager looked at the emperor and said: "Your Majesty, the beautiful girl who entered the palace this time, Aijia thinks it is very good, I will introduce it to you later."

"Trouble mother!"

"What's the trouble?" The Queen Mother couldn't hide her joy on her face: "The Aijia thinks that the daughter of the Minister of Works is good, dignified and beautiful, with a graceful figure, and she will definitely give birth to a big fat boy!"

"There are also a few folk show girls."

"Although they don't come from an aristocratic family, they are all innocent and promise to satisfy your Majesty."

...

Ever since Li Si entered Yong'an Palace, the Queen Mother's words have not stopped.

From the Queen Mother's point of view, Tantai Yiren may be cared for by the emperor because of their status as a demon, but these beautiful girls who have entered the palace have been citizens of the Tang Dynasty for generations, so your majesty should be satisfied.

Once the emperor is satisfied, won't it be a matter of course to receive a few to the dragon couch?

Maybe, at the end of next year, the queen mother will really be able to hold the big fat grandson.

At that time, the Yongan Palace will not be so deserted.

...

East Gate of the Palace.

Cao Zhengchun stood on the city wall, patrolling back and forth.

In order to ensure that nothing goes wrong, Cao Zhengchun personally guards a gate. With him, a strong man in the realm of gods and demons, the devil will send the rest of the dead to die as many times as possible.

As for the west gate, south gate, and north gate of the palace, they were all guarded jointly by several imperial guards from Dongchang Duwei.

Even if the former of the gods and demons strikes, it can be delayed for a while, enough for Cao Zhengchun to arrive.

"I don't know why, the miscellaneous family has always been a little restless today." Cao Zhengchun frowned.

Du Kang, the deputy governor of the East Factory next to him, said, "Don't worry, the governor. The palace has been blocked by my people from the East Factory. Anyone who wants to enter the palace will be subject to heavy inspections!"

Cao Zhengchun frowned and said nothing.

"Who entered the palace today?"

Cao Zhengchun asked.

"Some officials, as well as beautiful girls who entered the palace." Du Kang bowed and said.

"Xiu Nv?" Cao Zhengchun's pupils shrank and asked repeatedly, "Can Xiu Nv be included in the investigation of the East Factory?"

"Supervisor, Xiu Nv is the one summoned by the Queen Mother, my East Factory has no right to investigate..." Deputy Superintendent Du Kang looked hesitant.

"not good!"

Cao Zhengchun's face changed wildly!

"There is a problem with the beautiful girl who entered the palace!"

Cao Zhengchun suddenly turned around and looked into the depths of the palace.
