Chapter 465: Smart Wu Meiniang
"How is this? Wang Jia's face suddenly changed, and he felt extremely regretful in his heart. Prophecy is a very strange thing in this era. The rulers of the past dynasties liked it and often used it to fool the people, but also
He is very afraid of it and often uses it to cause troubles. Just like the magic of witchcraft, many people lose their heads every time it appears. Wang Jia also understands the reason, so he is very scared in his heart. He can't help but think about it.
Kill this person.
"Master Wang, you should go back." When Lu Chenglie saw Wang Jia still standing aside, he frowned slightly and couldn't help but said softly. Lu Chenglie was about to have a good chat with Wu Meiniang, how could he let Wang Jia
This super big light bulb stayed aside, so he issued an eviction order without hesitation. He really forgot about the matchmaker after he had a wife. Wang Gua originally planned to introduce Wu Meiniang into the harem to prepare for the future, but now it's better, but he didn't expect it.
A disaster has been caused. The emperor will return in a while, and he still doesn’t know what to do with himself and others.
"Old minister, I obey." Wang Jia had no choice but to nod and say. With this benefit, he naturally would not argue with Lu Chenglie. He nodded, hailed a carriage next to him, and disappeared from Lu Chenglie's sight.
"Your Majesty Wang is an important minister of the country and an adviser to His Highness. Your Highness should not treat him like this." By the Wei River, the two of them were sitting on a cruise ship. Wu Meiniang said softly next to Lu Chenglie: "Especially because you are doing this for me.
"Yes, once word spreads in the future, what will people in the world say about you." I saw that Wu Mei Niang's cheeks were red with embarrassment, her head was lowered, and she was indescribably shy. Although the tone of her mouth was a lesson, it seemed that she was speaking.
It was like withdrawing from love, which made Lu Chenglie feel extremely comfortable.
"Mei Niang can leave with peace of mind." Lu Chenglie smiled slightly and said, "Wang Jia is an old minister." He is well-versed in the world. Even if he didn't say anything, he would not stay here.
Haha, this person has some ability, Gu Ye is very respectful to him, and he will not care too much in this regard. The relationship between a real monarch and his ministers should be like the relationship between my father and the great general, Cen Wenwen.
Retaining trust, but for Gu, "I'm afraid it's difficult to meet such a person." There was a hint of desolation in Lu Chenglie's words, but also a hint of hope. The words of the emperors and ministers through the ages will only appear in the history books.
Those who have some records are probably King Wu of Zhou and Jiang Ziya, and the rest are not worthy of praise." But now, there is probably one more Emperor Zhenguan, Li Jing, Cen Wenwen and others.
"Don't you still have me, Your Highness?" Wu Meiniang said with a smile: "If Your Highness has any unhappy things in the future, you might as well tell me and I promise to help His Highness. It's a pity that I am a girl and cannot be an official." Otherwise
"I will definitely be able to be a king and minister with His Highness for eternity."
"That's right." Lu Chenglie said with a smile: "Since you said that, I will test you. You said that my father asked me to supervise the country, but I don't know what to do to make my father happy." You think I am the best
"I have grown up and am now able to take charge of my own affairs. Although I supervise the country now, many matters are handled by several assistant ministers." I just listened to what they said, and then wrote according to their opinions.
He came out and then proclaimed it to the world. He was said to be a prisoner of the country. In fact, he had no rights at all and could not make decisions. He was like a puppet with strings, being manipulated by others. "
Wu Meiniang rolled her eyes and said with a smile: "Your Highness, do you know what your Majesty is most worried about now?"
"My father is out on an expedition, so he is naturally worried about the situation at home. But now the country is at peace, and several auxiliary ministers are capable ministers. They handle things in an orderly manner. I have to admire them!" Lu Chenglie shook his head and said: "
If my father is worried about something, it is how to defeat Goguryeo in a short period of time and capture the three kingdoms of Silla."
"That's not right." Wu Meiniang's eyes flashed like stars, she shook her head and said: "Although the Three Kingdoms of Silla are somewhat capable, don't forget that your Majesty is leading the most elite troops of our dynasty this time, as well as many generals and so on.
A brave general, it will only be a matter of time before he defeats Goguryeo and brings the three kingdoms of Silla into his possession. As long as your Majesty is cautious in using his troops, is ruthless with the enemy, and is considerate of his soldiers, you will not be afraid of defeating the opponent at all."
"Then what are you worried about, father?" Lu Chenglie frowned and said, "Of course there is no need to worry about the grain road. Zhou Qing is stationed at the grain road. The grain and grass are transported by sea and land to Goguryeo, Zhuojun City, and Liaodong City. There is a large amount of grain and grass gathered in it.
Now that my father has also captured Anshi City, there is no place in the entire Liaodong that can resist our Heavenly Army of the Tang Dynasty. What else does my father have to worry about?" Lu Chenglie shook his head, no wonder Lu Chenglie, the Tang Dynasty is now at peace.
Prosperous, with famous ministers inside and strong soldiers outside, there is nothing to worry about. Of course Lu Chenglie would not have thought of it.
"Rewards." Wu Meiniang smiled like a flower, stretched her fingers like green onions, and said proudly: "What your Majesty is most worried about now is the issue of rewards. Hundreds of thousands of troops conquer Liaodong, and if they win and return to the court, they will give countless rewards.
The thing is that the soldiers who died need to be given generous pensions, and the injured soldiers must also be looked after by the court. These need to be prepared, such as fields, money, food, etc. It is impossible for so many soldiers to survive in a short time.
It can be completed within time. It must take half a year to a year. Your Highness, why don’t you start making preparations now, where to grant land rewards, order the Ministry of Revenue to make preparations early, etc. If these are ready at this time,
, in the future, when His Majesty returns to court, he will only be able to do post-war matters for a month or two at most. Such preparation will save a lot of time. Your Majesty will definitely be happy for His Majesty when he finds out."
"Yes. Meiniang is really smart, what a lonely ovary!" Lu Chenglie's eyes lit up, looking at Wu Meiniang, with a strange light shining in his eyes. Rao Wu Meiniang was extremely intelligent, and her personality was no less than that of a man. He couldn't bear it at this moment.
Her cheeks turned red and a shy look appeared on her face again.
"Your Highness." Wu Meiniang couldn't help but whisper: "There's more!"
"Oh! Mei Niang continues." Lu Chenglie woke up and said loudly.
"One more thing is the matter of moving the capital." Wu Meiniang calmed down and said, "If Meiniang guessed correctly, many people in Guanzhong would have opposed the matter of moving the capital." It's just that His Majesty's prestige is too high and he did not dare to object.
But this time, His Majesty will definitely take advantage of the momentum of victory to move the capital to Luoyang. In this way, Your Highness should also prepare early. The capital relocation project is so huge, with six ministries, nine ministers, etc., all yamen must move their capitals at the same time, from Tongguan to
Luoyang is so difficult and has lasted for many years, which is not conducive to the court's handling of state affairs. Your Highness should have made preparations in advance. In this way, it will be much easier to move the capital when Your Majesty returns." Your Majesty will definitely be happy if your Majesty does this.
As long as His Highness does these two things, in His Majesty's eyes, he will be a well-deserved Prince Supervisor of the Kingdom, and his position in the East Palace will never be shaken again."
"Yes." Mei Niang is right. Gu can let those unimportant yamen move to Luoyang first." Lu Chenglie nodded and said, "Maybe, my father will also prepare to let Gu be responsible for moving the capital.
, when my father returns, he will be in Luoyang to receive congratulations from all the officials." Lu Chenglie's eyes were full of excitement, and he couldn't help but stand up and bowed to Wu Mei Niang.
"Your Highness," what are you doing? Meiniang is just a prostitute. "How dare you accept such a gift from His Highness?" Wu Meiniang seemed like a frightened rabbit, she quickly jumped up and hid aside. She still looked smart and wise as before. Lu Chenglie said
I couldn't help laughing when I saw it.
"Yes, of course." Lu Chenglie said with a smile: "If Mei Niang were a man," she would definitely be someone like Mr. Cen. It's a pity that she is only a girl, but that's fine. If you were a man, you would definitely be alone.
I will send people to be on guard against you, because people like you are too scary. If you don’t do it well, it will destroy my country in the Tang Dynasty. But luckily you are a girl."
...Humph, who said women are not as difficult as others. Your Highness, you are too bad. I won’t talk to you anymore.” Wu Meiniang couldn’t help stamping her feet, her nose wrinkled slightly, she muttered and ran away. Wait.
When Lu Chenglie chased him out, he saw that Wu Meiniang had already boarded a carriage.
"Meiniang, Mei Niang." Lu Chenglie was anxious and couldn't help but greet him.
"Your Highness, state affairs are important. Mei Niang takes her leave." She waved to Lu Chenglie, and then the carriage quickly disappeared from Lu Chenglie's sight.
"Hehe, not bad, not bad, I know the general idea." Lu Chenglie's face showed a hint of joy. He felt that Wu Meiniang was different from others. Maybe others could give Lu Chenglie advice, but they were all respectful, and
It's not like Wu Meiniang, where everyone is on an equal footing and tells Lu Chenglie all this. This makes Lu Chenglie feel very comfortable. It's more of a stimulation and a yearning. At his current age, he has reached
In his position, who dares to call him brother or brother, and who dares to have an equal dialogue with him? This is the saying that the high place is too cold. Why does Lu Zhaoci respect Li Jing so much? He opens his mouth to brother Jing and keeps his mouth closed.
Let yourself have a true friend. Li Jing also deeply understands this truth, so while he abides by the principle of being a minister, he will not care about Lu Zhaoci's mistakes. This is the special relationship between monarch and minister, and
Brothers and friends. But this is because the two lived in the war years. The chaotic situation made the two of them form a deep comradeship, and they trusted each other. However, Lu Chenglie did not have this opportunity. He was born with a golden key in his mouth.
Apart from parents and brothers, the only people around me are eunuchs and palace maids. How can I have any friends? Most of them are just courtiers, even the eldest grandson." Wuji did not dare to talk to him on an equal footing like this. But today, he could actually follow Wu Meiniang.
Finding this feeling in his body made him unable to help but indulge in it. This made him very happy...
"Let's go back to the palace." Lu Chenglie gradually calmed down his mind. He still had one thing he didn't say in front of Wu Meiniang, that is, he not only wanted to make Lu Zhaoci think that he could take charge of his own affairs, but also make Lu Zhaoci think that he was the chosen one.
This prince is correct. He will not let Lu Ke, who is far away in Liaodong, be as beautiful as before. More importantly, he must establish his prestige in front of the ministers and make them respect him. The reason why these people respect him now is
That's because he is the prince and has the position of prince, so they respect themselves. They respect this position, not Lu Chenglie himself. When he becomes emperor, these people respect only his status as emperor, not the emperor himself.
This is not what Lu Chenglie wants. So he wants to come up with something and show the ministers that he can be the prince. Not only is Emperor Zhenguan loved by him, but more importantly, he has this ability. Among many brothers, he is the best.
His ability makes him become the prince. In this way, they will not respect the prince just because he is the prince. Until now, Lu Cheng* has not found a good way, but now he has found it. Wu Meiniang helped him find a good way.
The only way to do this is to plan ahead and be ahead of the ministers in vision and thinking. Lu Chenglie could not wait to go to the Xuande Hall now and tell Cen Wenwen that they should be implemented as soon as possible. Of course, he also knew that all his moves would go through the Jinyi Guards
, and forwarded it to Emperor Zhenguan through those ministers, which is what he wanted to do.
The carriage moved slowly, with guards on both sides. Lu Chenglie sat in the carriage, carefully considering everything in it, including wording, steps, etc. "Everything must be carefully considered. Those ministers of Xuande Palace are not easy to fool."
He didn't want to be rejected for the first time when he made a move, or to leave a bad side. This was not what Lu Chenglie wanted. Since he wanted to make a splash, he would make a big splash, something that would surprise the ministers.
.
"His Royal Highness Taiban has arrived."
In the Xuande Hall, all the ministers were doing official business. The left-behind ministers Cen Wenwen, Wei Zheng, Wei Ting, Wang Gua and others were all sitting together. The minor officials next to them were waiting on the side. Originally, there was also Du Ruhui, but unfortunately
What's interesting is that Du Ruhui's position is now vacant.
"Your Highness is here?" Everyone couldn't help but raise their heads and look at Cen Wenwen.
"Let's go! Let's go and greet you." Cen Wenwen stood up slowly and shook his head. "In the past, even if there were state affairs, everyone would take the initiative to report to the East Palace, and Lu Chenglie rarely came to Xuande Hall, even though he was the supervisor of the country."
But his age and experience made him come here just to listen to others. He just came with an ear, and as time passed, he came here less and less. It was rare that he came here at this time. Although everyone was curious, but
Still adhering to the courtesy of a courtier, he went to greet him. Only Wang Gua was extremely surprised.
Only two hours later, Lu Chenglie rushed back. Wang Jia was indeed very curious, but he did not relax his fear of Wu Meiniang.
"My lords, without courtesy, please sit down!" Lu Chenglie had a look of excitement on his face, and there was also a hint of nervousness. After all, this was his first time explaining in front of several ministers in Xuande Hall.
I still don't know what kind of reaction this opinion will get, and there is a faint look of anxiety on my face.
"Thank you, Your Highness." Cen Wenwen and others looked at each other. Lu Chenglie's expression was reflected on his face, and he almost opened his mouth to tell others that I was very excited and that something was wrong with me. Everyone was extremely curious, but they didn't.
What to say, I just listened to Lu Chenglie's words, found a brocade stool and sat down, waiting for Lu Chenglie's voice to speak.
"His Highness came to the Xuande Hall today, but he had important instructions. Haha, if His Highness has instructions, just send someone to summon him. You don't have to come in person." Perhaps because he didn't know how to say it, Lu Chenglie's face showed a hint of anger.
There was a hint of embarrassment. When Cen Wenwen saw this, a smile appeared on his face and he said with a smile.
After Cen Wenwen rescued him, the atmosphere in the hall suddenly relaxed. Even Lu Chenglie returned to his normal expression, and his nervous mind gradually calmed down.
"Since you adults said so, I won't refuse." Lu Chenglie calmed down, his face showed a trace of grace and dignity, and although his voice was plain, it was filled with a trace of majesty. After all, he was the successor of Lu Zhaoci, the emperor's family.
, in his actions and demeanor, he is naturally graceful..
What's more, who is Lu Chenglie's mother? She is the eldest grandson empress who has left a great reputation in history. She is a hero among women. How can a person trained by such a woman be a simple person? What's more, there is an old and cunning person.
Changsun Wuji carefully taught him for more than ten years, which was enough to cultivate a qualified prince.
"Your Highness, please make it clear." Cen Wenwen and others looked at each other. It seemed that His Highness the Crown Prince was really prepared. This time he came here just to show off his talents. At that moment, their faces straightened, and everyone was sitting upright, with faces on their faces.
There was also a hint of blandness on their faces, so bland that others couldn't tell what they were thinking.
"My father has captured Anshi City. There is only one Gaisuwen left in Goguryeo. This person is definitely not my father's opponent. Goguryeo is also in my possession in the Tang Dynasty. Getting rid of Goguryeo will not be easy for me in my country."
In addition to the fact that there is still some resistance in front of the Tang Dynasty, the rest of Silla and Baekje are not at the same level at all. The three kingdoms of Silla were destroyed by our Tang Dynasty, and it is only a matter of time before the territory is included in the territory of our Tang Dynasty. This battle is over.
, But just because the war is over, it doesn’t mean it’s over. After the war is over, there are still many things to do, such as pensions and rewards." Lu Chenglie said with a smile: "The soldiers fought bloody battles and made countless military exploits.
, if we don’t reward them, how can we respond to the bloody battles of the soldiers? Titles, fields, gold and silver, etc. must be rewarded. Of course, the title is decided by the father, but fields, gold and silver, etc., alone.
Do you think it is necessary to prepare early? Where should we find the unclaimed land to reward those soldiers? How much money should be spent in the national treasury to reward those soldiers, and also to provide compensation for those disabled and killed soldiers?
, these Xuande Hall, the Ministry of Household Affairs, and the General Staff Headquarters should all think carefully about it. It is best to come up with a charter before my father returns to the court after victory, so as not to be in a hurry. What do you think, sir?
