    After the emperor Jing Wen and Li Shimin tried their best to comfort him, Wei Zheng cried very miserably, obviously speaking of the pain in his heart.  Only then did Jing Wen realize that Wei Zheng actually had such a fragile side.  He actually felt guilty and guilty for his greedy and fearful behavior back then, so he turned his anger on the so-called foreigners.  Of course, if this hadn't been the case, he probably wouldn't have been able to hold on until now, and he might have suffered a mental breakdown long ago.  But now that he finally said it, everything is still fine.  Because the ancient teachings to literati always required them to sacrifice their lives for righteousness, but in fact, how many people in this world can sacrifice their lives for righteousness?  Therefore, it was understandable that Wei Zheng pretended to be dead to avoid being killed.  Because even if he resisted, Wei Zheng was still dead in the face of the huge power gap.  Therefore, it may not be an option for Wei Zheng to pretend to be dead in order to survive.  However, this is not in line with the values ??of ancient literati, so Wei Zheng has never been able to accept his behavior of pretending to be dead in order to survive, and he still blames himself for the death of his lover and friends.  But now that Wei Zheng has told everything, Wei Zheng feels much better after crying hard once.  And many times the best way to resolve it is to tell the secrets in your heart. This is also the best way to resolve worries.  Wei Zheng had suppressed this matter for many years, and I am afraid that the pressure on his soul was very great. Now that he can speak out, it may not be a bad thing for him.  So Jing Wen also asked him to have a good rest, and Li Shimin also agreed that Wei Zheng could give him a few days off.  "Well, Old Wei has finally solved his knot and has no objection to these foreigners entering the Tongwen Hall in the palace!" Jing Wen said.  Since the knot in Wei Zheng¡¯s heart has been resolved, there is no need to continue to oppose these foreigners entering the palace to serve.  In fact, he just had an unresolved knot in his heart before, so he hated foreigners so much.  But now that the knot in their hearts has been resolved, and Westerners have no hatred towards the East, there is naturally no reason to continue to oppose it.  So Wei Zheng also agreed to these Westerners entering the palace to work.  Anyway, there are actually no secrets to be kept in these palaces. These Westerners are only responsible for translating classics and are not responsible for anything else.  "Maupassant, bring everyone in!" Jing Wen said.  Jing Wen came to the palace with these foreigners who were going to work in the Tongwen Hall. These Westerners were obviously like Grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden. They had obviously never seen such a magnificent palace.  "Oh, my God, this palace is so big. It's many times bigger than the palaces of our Roman Empire!" Someone immediately said excitedly.  "Yes! Before I came to Chang'an, I would never have thought that there would be such a big palace in the world. It's really surprising!" Another Roman also said.  Next, these Westerners all began to admire the magnificence of this palace.  Jing Wen secretly laughed. The Forbidden City in later generations was known as the largest preserved palace complex, so it was famous all over the world.  But in fact, according to historical data, the area of ??the Forbidden City in the Ming and Qing Dynasties was actually very small compared to the palaces in the Han and Tang Dynasties.  The area of ??the Forbidden City in the Ming and Qing Dynasties in later generations was only over 720,000 square meters, but it pales in comparison to the Tai Chi Palace.  The Taiji Palace covers an area of ??more than 4 million square meters, which is almost five times the size of the Forbidden City of the Ming and Qing Dynasties.  It¡¯s just that because the Taiji Palace in the Tang Dynasty experienced countless wars, it was not able to be preserved.  This is what allowed the Forbidden City of the Ming and Qing Dynasties to "become famous".  In the West of this era, the palaces in the West were not big, at least not comparable to the Tai Chi Palace.  So these Westerners living in Rome never thought that there would be such a big palace in the world.  So they all looked surprised after entering the Tai Chi Palace.  "Everyone, please pay attention to your behavior and don't stare at those palace maids everywhere. Otherwise, misunderstandings will be caused!" Jing Wen said quickly.  Those Westerners immediately retracted their gazes reluctantly.  Then Maupassant asked: "Lord Jingwen, do you think the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty is the richest emperor in the world? I think he must be very rich, and must be the richest man in your Datang Dynasty." "Of course. I am the Tang Dynasty.  The emperor is the richest man in the world!" Jing Wen started talking nonsense.  After hearing this, Jing Wen thought to himself: "Who doesn't know that Emperor Li Shimin was a famous 'poor man' in the Tang Dynasty? Emperor Li Shimin is probably the poorest emperor in all dynasties. Now the treasury is being depleted every year.  I don¡¯t have much money left after all the hard work. If it weren¡¯t for the various business dividends I gave him, I¡¯m afraid the palace wouldn¡¯t be able to maintain its normal operation.¡± Now that Jing Wen thinks about it, it¡¯s funny, because Li Shimin¡¯s palace consumption actually has a lot of money.  A large part of it comes from the distribution of concubines in Jingwen's perfume shop.?, and these dividends are actually for the concubines.  And Li Shimin directly requisitioned it to maintain the daily consumption of the palace.  And Jing Wen was completely speechless towards Li Shimin. This Li Shimin actually wanted to save face and suffer the consequences.  Li Shimin claimed that the treasury spent a lot of money, so he was unwilling to take more money from the treasury.  Moreover, in the past few years, Xingwen had given them a lot of dividends, so Li Shimin also boasted that Haikou would not need a penny from the national treasury in the next ten years.  But now the palace's consumption is increasing day by day, which Li Shimin did not expect.  But Haikou has already been boasted, and naturally there is no way to take it back. Otherwise, where would the majesty of the emperor Li Shimin be displayed?  Therefore, Li Shimin had to rely on the concubine's dividends to maintain the normal operation of the palace, and refused to ask for money from the treasury.  Of course, if strictly speaking, the emperor Li Shimin is actually just eating soft rice now and letting his concubines use their own money to maintain the operation of the palace. What is this other than eating soft rice?  Therefore, the current emperor of the Tang Dynasty, Li Shimin, is a "poor man" known to everyone in the upper class. An emperor who even needs his own woman to support the palace expenses is not a poor man.  Jing Wen always wanted to laugh, but in order to save some face for Li Shimin in front of foreigners, he didn't laugh.  After all, Li Shimin was also the emperor of the Tang Dynasty and represented the image of the Tang Dynasty.  If foreigners knew that the dignified emperor wanted his own woman to support him, then the Tang Dynasty would be completely embarrassed.  (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!
