Inside a royal residence in Chang'an City, Lao Wangtou was sitting in the courtyard with a miserable look on his face. When he went to the imperial study room, he did not see Li Mingda in salted fish emperor mode, but Murong with a standard white fox's signature smile. Snow.
The classic duel between the old fox and the white fox began. The two sides competed with each other in acting skills and strategies. In the end, Lao Wang was not shameless enough and had too many concerns, so he lost.
The result is obvious. The old prince did not plan for his daughter to have the title of concubine that he expected, so he could only recruit girls into the palace.
The only thing that comforted him was that Murong Xue said that he did not want any of the betrothal gifts from the Old Wang family, which could be regarded as leaving a lot of property to the Old Wang family.
However, when Lao Wangtou looked back, he found that he still lost. Finance itself was a status symbol, and it was also used by Wang Rong to bribe people during his activities in the palace.
However, why he didn't persist in the end was because Murong Xue told him that if Wang Rong dared to do this, he would be treated as treason.
Li Mingda did not allow such a situation to occur within the palace. Except for the older eunuchs and maids who were cleared out every year, the rest had this problem, and their end was not very good.
The eunuchs and maids in the palace know too many things that should not be told, and there will always be a price to pay.
As the eunuchs and maids around Emperor Li Mingda, they are much smaller than ordinary emperors, but they are all elite spies selected by Jinyiwei, Baiqisi, and Mingzun Holy Cult. They have experienced hundreds of battles and have extraordinary skills. Their faith and loyalty are their All of them feel honored and proud to be by Li Mingda's side.
In terms of materials, if they have family members, they will be well treated and protected, freeing them from worries.
Lao Wangtou was upset, but beside him, his teenage granddaughter Wang Rong, who was dressed in white and had a gentle and luxurious appearance with a hint of naughtiness, was very happy.
After waiting in Chang'an City for so long, I can finally see with my own eyes the first-generation female emperor Mingzun Saint Emperor Li Mingda, who I have longed for and led the Tang Dynasty to reform.
"Hey hey hey"
Hearing his granddaughter's giggles, Lao Wangtou regretted that he had not let go of the engagement contract. He should have walked down the steps if he had known better.
well
Lao Wang sighed for the first time and felt that he was much older.
"Grandpa, now that Ronger can enter the palace, why are you still so closed?"
Granddaughter, grandpa, I think you are not suitable for entering the palace, you are too stupid.
Of course, this was Lao Wangtou's idea. He only thought about it in his heart and couldn't say it out loud, otherwise his granddaughter would definitely make a fuss.
"Rong'er, it's better to be at home when you enter the palace. You have to abide by the rules. Also, grandpa, I entered the palace today and saw Emperor Ming Zun and talked with her. Even though she is not very old, her thoughts and insights are beyond ordinary people, otherwise she would not He will beat our family to such a state that we must think twice before doing anything."
Wang Rong pulled the old Wangtou's arm and said coquettishly: "I know, grandpa, His Majesty Ming Zun Holy Emperor is the reincarnation of a god. Naturally he has extraordinary views. Also, grandpa, what does Ming Zun Holy Emperor look like? Is it when he walks?" Standing on the auspicious clouds, with flying dragons and phoenixes behind you, and surrounded by heavenly soldiers and generals?"
"Will it be fierce?"
"Does she eat?"
A series of weird questions came out one after another, and Lao Wang didn't know how to answer them for a long time.
At this time, Old Wangtou suddenly remembered the reminder that Murong Xue gave him, and then continued to warn Wang Rong: "There are many differences between the Holy Emperor Mingzun in your mind and the Holy Emperor Mingzun in reality. Don't do it then." Be too surprised, lest you anger her and bring disaster to the family and you!"
"What?"
Disaster?
Wang Rong looked confused, and then his face showed a look of sudden realization: "Yes, Holy Emperor Mingzun is the reincarnation of the god of heaven. I must not anger the god by talking nonsense, and what does Rong'er's Holy Emperor Mingzun do? It’s all right.”
Lao Wangtou: "???" It seems that I really did something wrong. Instead of planning a way out for the family, I just sent my future and resources alive into the dragon's mouth.
Since Wang Rong did not get the status of a noble concubine when she entered the palace, a prostitute would naturally not need a big battle. Li Mingda entered his period of comforting the family to set an example, and it was not too simple. Eight-carrying sedans and imperial guards were used to clear the way. The required specifications have been reduced, but everything that needs to be done has been done, which is a signal to Lao Wangtou and the aristocratic families.
I agree with your family's overtures, so come and lick it.
The first person to respond was Lao Cui, who had been given seven inches by Li Mingda. Lao Cui, who was caught for smuggling and was currently helping Li Mingda cheat, stood up and spoke first.
His Majesty the Mingzun Saint Emperor is mighty and domineering, and has unparalleled benevolence and righteousness. We did not know what was good or bad before, and we have offended many people. Please forgive us. From now on, as long as His Majesty the Mingzun Saint Emperor orders, I, the old Cui family, will do whatever they ask me to do, and I will definitely not bring rice dumplings with me. .
Then there are the families in Jingzhou, Yangzhou, and Xiangyang who were very thoroughly purged by Li Mingda. They all shouted: Holy Emperor Mingzun is merciful. What Mingzun Holy Emperor said is true. As long as you believe and follow Holy Emperor Mingzun. Footsteps, the future is indescribable.
Other knowledgeable people also expressed that this was indeed the case, and it was not true that they cursed behind their backs. The pills Li Mingda gave were to catch people. Those in their family were as disgusting as rat excrement, but their own family members were not. What?
The common people did not care much about Li Mingda's change in attitude towards the aristocratic family. Anyway, they knew that Li Mingda had been seeking benefits for them since he participated in the government affairs of the Tang Dynasty, and they had actually received a lot of benefits.
Reduced taxes.
Reduced corvée.
Income increased significantly.
Food crops and farming methods that increased yields, as well as the imperial guards who punished bullies and corrupt officials, as well as innovations in some agricultural tools, and various strategies for the common people.
The common people are the ones who know the warmth and reciprocity best. If you treat them sincerely, they will treat you sincerely.
Most of the Shengci temples in various places in Li Mingda were built independently by the local government. They burn incense and chant sutras every day.
The aristocratic family knew what they wanted and stopped causing trouble. Li Mingda accelerated the immigration to the Japanese island country. At the same time, more and more ships were built and dispatched from various places to transport people and supplies.
Of course, we are not in a hurry to seek success. We use the best ships to transport people. Small boats are used to transport supplies and other materials to avoid accidents at sea. Material losses can be made up again. Every citizen who participates in immigration is a member of the Tang Dynasty. The most precious wealth, because they left their original home and traveled across the ocean to another land just for the future of the Tang Dynasty.
The immigration process was progressing in an orderly manner, while the fleet that traveled across the ocean to search for the two species was exploring the earth in a tangled mood.
