With the master away, Li Po felt that Qingning Palace was really in Qingning.
Every time he came here, Li Bi was waiting for him, and Li Po was quite uncomfortable with his sudden disappearance, especially since Ashina Rongzhen, who he used to see when he entered the palace, was not there either.
Recently, she was helping the Military Intelligence Department deal with the Tibetan affairs, so she rarely saw anyone.
The Tibetan people have not yet been sent to the embrace of their gods. Recently, we have been asked about how the Tubo people grow food, weave cloth, how the city is built, what its characteristics are, and other details.
Xinan Yubo of Tubo was naturally not as knowledgeable about his country as those before him, and he needed to wander in hell for a long time before he could be freed.
Li Po listened to the reports from the Military Intelligence Department from time to time, and his understanding of Tubo became more and more comprehensive. These were crucial for the court to formulate strategies to deal with Tubo.
After that, whether they sent envoys to Tibet or secretly sent assassins, they could all be targeted. It is conceivable that the Tibetans will pay a heavy price for their rashness.

The "alone" emperor entered the Qingning Palace and briefly asked the palace attendants who came out. Ashitian Xiang, Wang Zhen, and Gao Baoer also went out to play together.
Li Chun didn't know where he took them...
Li Po couldn't help but become a little annoyed. There was no one to entertain the emperor when he returned home. These guys were really getting more and more unreliable.
After a while, Wang Qi rushed over. Now the queen was focused on the political affairs of the court and neglected the management of the harem, so everything fell on Wang Qi.
At this moment, Li Po realized the advantage of a delicate woman, at least she wouldn't run around.
Wang Qi made arrangements to get him food, drank two drinks with him, and was massaging his shoulders when many people came one after another.
The queen and concubines were not in the palace, and the three ladies had also disappeared. What a great opportunity, the concubines were so excited that after hearing the news that the emperor had entered the palace, they rushed to pay homage to the emperor.
Their status in the palace can be seen to some extent from the order of succession. Those who are well-informed come earlier, and those who come later, whether intentionally or unintentionally, are not bad.
If you didn't come, you don't have to worry about anything. The rules in the palace are very simple. They are just hanging around the emperor, queen, prince, and princess. You can't even get news about the emperor entering the palace, which means that this person is irrelevant.
.
It is not easy for someone to meet the emperor on the road and fall down. More than a thousand years of history tell everyone that a woman who is so lucky to be favored by the emperor is definitely not something that ordinary palace maids or even concubines can accomplish.
task.
The palace suddenly became noisy. There were three women performing a show, and if there were more than three... a hundred ducks would have to be stewed by them. The excitement was so lively that Li Po suddenly felt a big headache.
One was greeting the emperor, and the other was talking about how deserted his palace was, and wanted to invite the emperor to come and have a look. Everyone was vying to be the first, and everyone was looking forward to it.
In the midst of the singing and swallowing, Li Po's heart did not melt, but he became increasingly aware of the benefits of his wife. When she was around, his ears would at least be purer.
Seventy-two concubines in the three palaces and six courtyards, my God, scholars really don’t know how to die. If the emperor’s harem is like that, how many years can he live?
………………
While the emperor was wandering around the countryside of Wenwen, the Silla envoy had already arrived less than thirty miles outside Chang'an City.
The thumping of hooves was very brisk, and the team's speed gradually increased. They wanted to reach Chang'an and settle down before nightfall.
Jin Shengman was guarded in the team and she was very energetic. The legendary capital of the Tang Dynasty, Chang'an City, was about to arrive. This was undoubtedly the ultimate test for her.
The magnificent Central Plains dynasty unveiled a veil in front of her. Even if this trip failed to achieve her goal, she felt that her trip was not in vain. The outside world was so wonderful, Silla...her rich and beautiful
Hometown really doesn’t mean anything.
Pieces of farmland on both sides of the road stretch into the distance. Farmers are working hard in the fields. It has been more than a month since the spring plowing. The seedlings in the fields are looking up in the air and are thriving.
Compared with the counties in Shandong and Henan that she passed through, this place was obviously more full of life. She now knew that because of the previous war, there were far fewer people in the east.
And she also knew that these farmers cultivating the fields were all free people. Unlike Silla, most of the fields in Silla were in the hands of the nobles, and those who worked on them were slaves of the nobles. Only a few people worked on them.
Can control one's own destiny.
Especially during the reign of King Jinheung, he ordered some young nobles to gather together to practice martial arts and increase their knowledge, and they were called Hwarang disciples.
Now it is getting more and more developed, and almost all noble boys must become Hwarang disciples before they can serve in the Silla Kingdom. Kim Seungman is one of them.
This greatly enhanced the cohesion of the Silla people and gave them the upper hand when competing with the Baekje people for control of the Han River Basin.
The generals from Hwarangtu, under the leadership of General Jingu, possessed extremely strong combat effectiveness, dwarfing the Baekje people, giving up a lot of rich land, and even expelled Goguryeo officials and troops.
And this was the beginning of the breakdown of the alliance between Silla and Baekje...
The advantages of the Hwarang organization are very obvious, but disadvantages also arise. Because of their military achievements, the King of Silla gradually gave them the most fertile land, causing many Silla people who were originally free people to lose their land and become reduced to
For slaves of nobles.
The people of Silla were also aware of this situation, but they did not know the rationale for land annexation, so they could not find any effective solution. In the following years, the rich and poor became increasingly divided.
After Queen Deshan came to the throne, she took great care of the poor, which aroused dissatisfaction among some nobles.
Jin Shengman shares the same opinion as many others. They all feel that if they want to make the "untouchables" live a better life, they should seize more land. With more land, the problem will naturally be solved.
Passing on the problem of land annexation is also a way, but it only treats the symptoms but not the root cause. The nobles are so greedy, how much land can satisfy their desires?
Although Jin Shengman is smart, as a member of the aristocracy, she is also one of the "big landowners" of Silla. In addition, she does not have such a broad vision and foresight, so she can only think of these.
For example, when he came to the Central Plains and met the farmers in the Central Plains, he felt that the farmers in Silla were really miserable. They lived in straw huts, the utensils they used were too simple, and the food they ate was the same as livestock.
Farmers in the Central Plains are just as good as anywhere, and they live like nobility of Silla.
Hmm, interesting idea...
