    Li Wei looked very calm.

    Since arriving in Chang'an, my mother has lived in the Daming Palace.  It was not like the way in history where Wu Zetian, the third oldest general, was completely put under house arrest in Shangyang Palace. Except for leaving An She with guards to guard the Daming Palace, the mother was left to her own devices.  Even in Qinghai, there were still a large number of treasures captured from Xinde and Khorasan that had not been disposed of. After being brought to Chang'an, most of them were disposed of.

    There are too many places to spend money, such as the current construction of Changpingcang and six towns, and the long-term overhaul of water conservancy. If you don't want to increase the burden on the common people, you have to save money and live a frugal life.  It has to be treated in disguised form to increase the revenue of the treasury.  Not only was this money used to annihilate the Turks, but the returning troops of the Tang Dynasty were the main force and were distributed according to merit. Nearly half of the cattle, horses, sheep and slaves were distributed. Some were rewarded to the meritorious soldiers, and some of the livestock were given to the  Poor people.

    ¡° Narrowing the gap between the rich and the poor, at least reducing the sharecroppers and relieving some of the pressure on the common people, became Li Wei¡¯s main goal in the following decades.

    This is the source of social stability.

    There are also some tribes of Han Hui people, which will be revealed one by one in the future.  People from other ethnic groups have no choice but to let them fend for themselves.  Li Wei was not stupid enough to give back the rights and benefits to the slaves and other public servants.

    Most of those left behind were mainly slaves, and many livestock were left and kept in Fengzhou and other places, especially horses. In the future, some horse farms will be built in the six towns to maintain the fine traditions of the Tang Dynasty, and  Advantages of war horses.  When it comes to weapons, cavalry is still the sharpest weapon, the fastest and most mobile.  Mo Dao soldiers are good, but there are too few soldiers who meet the requirements.

    There are also other ministries, and most of the livestock have been taken away. There are many high-quality pastures in the rivers of the Western Regions. It is a good time, and there is enough green fodder along the way to be escorted back to the headquarters smoothly.  But people became a problem. There were too many captive slaves. Some tribes did not need so many slaves, which happened to be in short supply in the Central Plains. So they started from Bingzhou, then went to Xiazhou and Lingzhou, and sold them with Li Wei's tacit approval.  To the human traffickers in the Central Plains.  Then Li Wei secretly instructed Hei Te Changzhi to quietly put these slaves into the huge army of slaves, sell them to human traffickers, and transfer them to all parts of the country.  Some of the finances were collected and eliminated.  tongue.

    Under this circumstance, Li Wei also took out a large sum of treasures and sent them to Daming Palace to fulfill his filial piety.  At the same time, several concubines were invited to bring a few young princes to the Daming Palace to pay their respects from time to time.

    But there was a gentle hint that warned all officials not to flirt with the mother again.  Nor did he live with Wu Zetian, which is a criticism.  Overall, it's pretty well done.  With the peaceful transition back home, the peace and shadow of what happened in the past two years are quickly being erased.

    But when Wu Zetian suddenly said these words, dark clouds arose from the plains.

    Li Wei looked at Banqi, and when he said this, he was a little angry, and his eyes were even more sad.

    I know, this is unfair.

    My mother couldn¡¯t adapt to the sudden departure from political power.  So I said this in front of my father¡¯s tomb.  I'm just going to stay here and won't go back. What else can you do to me?

    ?Maybe there are other meanings.

    I have issued many edicts, and the policies are still very neutral at the moment. However, if all the major families are summoned to Chang'an, there will definitely be big measures.  These families, especially those from Shandong, have strict family education and attach great importance to filial piety.  She pinched herself at this moment and saw what she should do?

    But Wu Zetian put down these words calmly, and she had to deal with it immediately.  It was impossible to hesitate and think for a long time, so he responded quickly and said: "My dear friends, my mother has said in the couplet before that she misses the late emperor very much. In those years, my mother has always been with the late emperor and solved many of his worries. Lian Cong  The treasury has allocated 300,000 paper money to build a Kunde Palace here to reward the mother and queen for their merits. What do you think?"

    "Okay," Di Renjie said.

    This is a great move.

    Kun De Palace, Kun refers to the virtues contained in the earth, and also refers to the back hexagram, plus the word Kun De, it is an affirmation of Wu Zetian and the rectification of her name.

    "And His Majesty saved money and still allocated 300,000 yuan, which is almost the cost of building Shangyang Palace.  What else?

    ?????????????????????????????????????????????:  For example, the posthumous gift to Pei Xingjian was a posthumous gift of the honor of Grand Master, which cannot be revived after death. This incident often made Li Wei feel regretful.

    The truth is almost the same.

    The emperor's filial piety can only go so far.

    ¡°I even said before that no palaces are allowed to be built, but you made an exception just because of your careless words.

    Li Wei walked up to Wu Zetian who was wearing a curtain, held her hand and said: "Mother, if you miss your father, after the palace is repaired, I will send some maids here.How about my mother coming to pay her respects for a few days?  "

    Wu Zetian kept silent.

    Li Wei added: "Mother, my father wanted to pursue the title of Five Sacred Mountains during his lifetime. Because he was in poor health, the country was troubled and there was no army. Or, when spring comes next year, when the flowers bloom, I will allocate 1 million to practice.  , let the Queen Mother lead some members of the Ministry of Rites, Ministry of Internal Affairs and Taichang Qing to return to worship the Five Mountains on behalf of the late Emperor and his sons. She was also impressed by her father. She came back exactly one or two years later and the Kunde Palace was completed. Good for the Queen too  Stay here for a while. Mother, what do you think?"

    Ren Zhigu, the imperial censor, said: "Your Majesty, you can't. The Queen Mother has never had a title like this since ancient times. Kuang Jia and his party can't be solved by more than one million yuan. If they mobilize troops and mobilize people along the way, they will worry about the people and mobilize officials. The amount of money they will need will be  Several times this number. Your Majesty is trying to bring order to the chaos, just when you are working hard to make progress. How come you have such a decision?"

    It makes sense. You allocated one million yuan, which is not a small number.  Is it enough?  The five mountains include Huashan in Huazhou, Mount Heng in Hedong, Mount Song in Henan, Mount Tai in Qizhou in Shandong, and Mount Heng in Hengzhou in the south of Jiangnan Province.  You all know how far this journey will go, it will take more than a year.  Although you are not going there in person, if the Queen Mother goes in person, you have to follow the simplest etiquette. Paving the road with yellow sand, sprinkling dust with clean water, and building some small palaces for residence. How much will it cost?  Three million dollars may not be enough!

    You Buque Lu Xian said: "Even so, it is worthwhile for the Queen Mother to reconcile with Your Majesty."

    After Wu Zetian came to power, she promoted some children from Shandong wealthy families, such as Lu Xian, Cui Xuanli, Li Sizhen, Li Zhaode, Li Huiyuan, Cui Shenji, Cui Yuanzong, Li Youdao, Wang Bo's brother Wang Rui, and some children from Hedong Pei Xingben, Yang Zhirou,  Xue Qianguang, Du Su, Wei Juyuan, Du Jing, and other famous families such as Lu Yuanfang, Yuan Shuji, etc.

    This is also the brilliance of Wu Zetian's power recovery skills. What she hates is that the people who suppress her are Guan Longquan and Daibei Quan's relatives. But she cannot suppress all famous families and powerful families.  She doesn't have this abilityLi Wei doesn't have this ability either.  This problem needs Huang Chao to solve it.

    Therefore, by winning over the common people, he also showed a certain degree of respect for Shandong Wangmen.

    When tracing Wu Zetian¡¯s return dogs, most of them kept their identities, were not deeply involved, or did not express their stance. Considering their family background and the non-seriousness of their crimes, they were let go.  There are some people whom Qiu Renjie admires very muchsuch as Li Zhaode, Yuan Shuji and others. Qiu Renjie deliberately wrote a letter and recommended them to Li Wei.

    It won¡¯t be of great use right away, so continue to observe.

    Only a few people were demoted from the court.

    Lu Xian is considered the former, and he was retained after his official return.  This is not to flatter Wu Zetian, the children of famous families do think so.  As long as the mother returns to reconcile with the son, no matter how much money is spent, it doesn't matter?  This is the emperor and the queen mother, not only mother and son, but also setting an example for the world.

    The Queen Mother is in semi-soft confinement The emperor has changed his mind and is staying in the capital and returning to the city He does not dare to let her have contact with the officials. This is understandable.  That was not only the Queen Mother, but also the tigress.  So how can we make the Queen Mother happy?  Go ahead and play.

    After playing for a year or two before coming back, I should feel calm.  It really doesn't work If we continue to play, the blessings of Wuyue Mine are over There are still some famous mountains to go home to and holy places of Buddhism, as long as there are coins in the treasury.  Although it took some money, she was not in Beijing and returned to the city, so that the emperor could do things with peace of mind, which was better than anything else.

    "Lu Qing's words make sense. It is because of my father's conscientious work and my mother's more than ten years of assistance that the couple has inherited this great country. I asked my mother to go to the Five Mountains just to benefit my father and the emperor, and not to grant all the titles."  Wuyue, why not?"

    This is the second time that Wu Zetian¡¯s name has been rectified in front of all the ministers, clan members and envoys from various countries.  First, I used Kunde Palace to wrap the award, and then clearly explained the merits of more than ten years of assistance.

    Wu Zetian said: "The Ai family has approved you."

    The son lowered his head in front of everyone and satisfied some of her vanity. What else should she do?  It is impossible to take charge of the government again.  That's it, even if you use an accuracy, no matter what, I'm still your old mother!

    "Yes, yes." Li Wei said humbly again.  Then he took Wu Zetian's hand and said: "Mother, in the cold ridge season of October, everything is dying, and the wind and air are cold on the mountain. It's better to go down the mountain as soon as possible."

    This time Wu Zetian had no objection.

    Li Wei took Wu Zetian's hand, asked his mother to walk in the middle, and he was at his side, leading everyone down the mountain.

    Qiu Renjie and Wei Yuanzhong looked at each other and smiled.  Very satisfied with Li Wei's actions.

    Why did the Sixteen Kingdoms after the Jin Dynasty and the Northern and Southern Dynasties have more frequent exchanges? There are reasons for peace and harmony. Another reason is that the prosperity of Taoism and Buddhism neglected Confucianism.  Even when the mother died, the son stood in front of the coffin and laughed, which made hundreds of people laugh.I think the surname is beautiful.  In Confucianism, the status of monarchs and ministers is forgotten, the filial piety of parents and children is lost, and the orderliness of husbands and wives is disrespectful. Therefore, when everyone has the power in their hands, they immediately overthrow the previous emperor.  It doesn't matter whether you belong to the clan or not. Suffering is the surname of hundreds of people.  This will alleviate the deteriorating situation between mother and son and maintain the order of Confucianism.  In the long run, it will be beneficial to the country.  Even now, he has the right to speak to all the major families.

    Spending some money, what¡¯s the point?

    In the blink of an eye, the winter moon arrives, and snow begins to fall in Chang'an.

    Representatives from various families have also arrived.

    Li Wei summoned them to Tai Chi Palace.  He didn¡¯t say anything, but asked a question: ¡°Everyone, what is the most powerful and united animal in the world?¡±

    Everyone has different answers. Some say it is a lion in the West, some say it is a jackal, and some say it is a monkey.  Uncle Zheng Lian replied: "Your Majesty, I thought it was a wolf."

    In fact, Li Wei and Uncle Zheng Lian had a detailed discussion before. If they want to communicate, someone must instigate rebellion.

    As long as the representatives of these big families do not oppose, then when the Hehe Reform is implemented, the voices of opposition will be very small.  After all, he still knew about the failure of Wang Anshi's reform.

    What is the emperor's power?

    These wealthy and powerful people are the composition and foundation of the elite who returned from the emperor.

    But if there is no big voyage to transfer the conflict, Li Wei really has no better way to solve it.

    After Uncle Zheng Lian finished his sentence, everyone expressed their approval.  It's definitely not a tiger anymore. There is no room for two tigers in one mountain.  Only wolves are strong and united.  I even heard that when a large wolf pack arrives on the grassland, all the birds and beasts will run away, and even some small tribes will be wiped out.

    Li Wei clapped his hands and said, "What Zheng Qing said is exactly right. Just in time, the coalition sent guards to capture a group of wolves alive in Zhongnan Mountain, a total of forty-five wolves. Unfortunately, nine of them died, and there were still thirty  Six. Let you take a look."

    The guards responded and brought up thirty-six iron cages.  There is a wolf in every cage. It seems that it has been hungry for several days. Each one is emaciated and skeletal. When everyone sees a fierce look in their eyes, they keep walking around in the cage and howl hoarsely.  Voice.

    Everybody doesn¡¯t understand why.

    The guards carried some more fences to form a tall enclosure, then painted the cage door green and placed the wolf inside the cupboard.

    The tallest male wolf roared inside, probably the wolf king of the pack.  Then he led the group of wolves to climb toward the fence. However, the fence was very tall and he climbed several times without success.  There are also some female wolves in the middle, wagging their tails and begging beside the wolf king.  After struggling for a while, their emotions suddenly changed. The two short male wolves could no longer crawl, and they could not move despite the roar of the wolf king.

    The head wolf's eyes became more fierce at this time. He suddenly opened his mouth wide and rushed towards the two young male wolves with several tall male wolves.

    Flesh and blood flew everywhere, and the two male wolves were snorted to death in a moment. More than thirty wolves surrounded them and devoured them alive.

    The representative of the Lu family said: "Lixia, this is the imperial palace, so it's not good."

    "Think about it again" Li Wei smiled.  This scene was shocking enough, and it also made his next words more convincing.
