The Jade Girl Platform was built by Li Gui, the king of Liang, in Guzang, similar to the Tower of Babel in the West, after believing the shaman's words to welcome the Jade Girl from heaven to earth.
It is estimated that if Yunu really came, Li Gui and others would not have thought of how to entertain her.
In fact, when Li Po thought about it, Li Gui was also kicked in the head by a donkey. There are so many gods in the sky, why would the one who came down be the Jade Girl? And what does the Jade Girl mean?
It's a mess, and it's obviously an act that makes people stupid.
Of course, what Li Gui did in Liangzhou has become a laughing stock in the world.
In fact, the Tower of Babel in the west is similar in nature. They are both products of the expansion of people's hearts. They have just been packaged by others to make them look taller than the Jade Lady's Tower. Many people still want to study it hard, which is a sin.
…………
Hearing her husband make wisecracks again, Li Bi slapped his arm angrily, "What can I say properly? How can a hypocritical prince like Li Gui deserve to be compared with us?"
The same goes for Yun Dingxing. The palace can only be repaired, but what else is needed to build a new palace? Doesn’t my husband feel that it’s time to enjoy his success and fame? "
She was the only one who dared to say this. Even the upright ministers in the outer court would never say it so straightforwardly.
Li Po looked at his wife and twitched the corner of his mouth helplessly, "Although Yun Dingxing is a bit flattering, he is right in what he said. Whenever something good happens, the royal family will set an example.
It's not an exaggeration to build a palace to show off... After all, the success of pacifying Goguryeo was extraordinary, not just in the palace. Just look at the army and the whole country will rejoice when they regroup.
I'm still worried about how to celebrate, so that everyone can be happy and relaxed and enjoy it? What kind of enjoyment is building a temple?
Don’t you still want me to mine again?”
Li Bi smiled and held Li Po's hand tightly. If the two of them were still young and there were few people around, they would definitely use fists and feet to exchange ideas.
"Okay, I didn't say anything wrong. You can put the selection aside for now. It's enough for the people in the palace. Even those from outside need to learn Chinese and etiquette first. They'll be useful after some time.
, so there is no rush to recruit people into the palace.
Besides, I am not here for the sake of the royal family, otherwise why would I recruit so many women into the palace?"
Seeing the couple talking together, the other women fled away. Brothers Li Yuan and Li An disappeared. Only Li Zhen was caught by his mother and held down on his knees, which was quite miserable.
Li Bi looked at it, waved and sent people away.
When it calmed down, Li Bi said: "The new year is approaching, shouldn't it be time for my husband to have a good talk with the Queen of Silla? She has been coming to my place recently, and I don't know what to say to her.
Already."
Li Po smiled confidently, he naturally knew what Kinderman wanted to talk about, "Don't be in a hurry, let's delay for a while, it's the coldest month of winter, and she won't be able to go back to Silla.
The war in Goguryeo has just ended, and some remnants are still hiding in the mountains and forests. You are also someone who has fought in the war, and you should know what needs to be done after the decisive battle.
The overall situation has been decided, but many things still need to be considered.
The DPRK and China are also discussing this matter. I intend to set up the DPRK (Harmony) North Korean Protectorate in Pyongyang City, but there are only a few rivers separating the north and the south, and Baekje and Silla are actually one... You understand what I mean.
What does 's mean?"
Li Bi thought for a while and said: "Silla has been willing to accept concubines, conquered Goguryeo and Baekje, and the Japanese country has tried their best to help me achieve success. Our Tang Dynasty is gradually becoming stronger, and the guests from all over the world are only in the morning and evening, but it is You cannot do things that are harmful to your neighbors and are erratic, for fear of damaging the country's prestige..."
Li Po nodded, "Yes, that's the truth, so you have to be more cautious about this. I have discussed with the courtiers, but we haven't decided on a plan yet, so it's hard to talk to her.
You comfort her first and tell her not to be impatient. Before she sets off back next year, she will definitely be satisfied."
Li Bi laughed, "What she wants is not only the longevity of the Silla Kingdom, but also the reward for conquering Goguryeo... Do you want her to return home satisfied? I'm afraid it won't be easy."
Li Po smiled awkwardly, "Isn't it all about state affairs?"
Li Bi sneered, but no longer used this to push against her husband. In this matter, whether the husband was obsessed with women or whether he was concerned about state affairs was actually irrelevant. The most important thing was that the man had a clear mind and knew what to do.
"That Suphimala has also been in the palace for some time. Let her go back quickly. I'm afraid she won't be able to go back if she stays for a few more days."
Huh? Li Po gave him a confused look.
He hasn't paid much attention to the people from Tubo recently, mainly because the attack on Goguryeo has completely covered up the battle of Tubo. In addition, Feng Deyi's funeral, the Tubo people can only wait pitifully for the emperor to think of them. .
Li Bi glanced at her husband with dissatisfaction and said: "Those Supi people are very strange. They look like savages, but they believe in evil gods like Asura. This is the first time I have seen such a human concubine."
A few days ago, she actually lit a fire in the palace and jumped around with her face smeared like a ghost. If I had been a little less hearted, I would have killed her.
Finally, I called her over and asked, and I found out that she was offering sacrifices to the evil god, and she only missed a few heads. Do you know why she suddenly thought of offering sacrifices?"
Li Po grinned, feeling that this matter was indeed a bit fantasy. Looking at his wife's expression, he could only ask in amusement, "Why is this?"
Li Bi hummed: "She said it was too cold in the winter, and she wanted the evil god to make her warmer, or give her some extra clothes. She doesn't understand Chinese, but that's what it means anyway."
Now Li Po couldn't bear it any longer and couldn't help but burst into laughter, "There are not too many interesting people, not to mention that Supi is connected to the highlands to the north and Shannan to the south. It is said that there is also a custom of trade.
Don't be impatient and be kind to her. The people there have never seen much of the market. The Lantern Festival is approaching. Let her take a look at the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty. I'll see her again...
In fact, it is no different from Silla. As a vassal state of the Tang Dynasty in the future, if they want to ask for the protection of the Tang Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty will also need them to pay something. As for the customs and habits, they can be tolerant of whoever they believe in. "
Li Bi shook her head and said with some disagreement: "Believing in this evil god is incompatible with our Tang Dynasty. It will inevitably happen again in the long run, so it is better to consider it carefully."
Li Po patted his wife's hand, "You... above national policy, we will always seek long-term peace and stability, but to put it bluntly, the weather has its ups and downs, and life only lasts for a few decades. Is there any good thing that lasts forever?
When you and I are here, we can make the Tang Dynasty prosperous and prosperous. The rest will be left to the descendants. How can we control whether they live up to expectations or not?
For example, Su Pi, Xiang Xiong and the Black Yak Tribe, under our rule, they have to worship them every year. Without my canonization, no one can legitimately inherit the throne.
As long as you do this, it's actually enough.
As for you and me, our descendants, and even the rise and fall of dynasties a hundred years from now, as long as anyone remembers that this place was once a vassal state of the Tang Dynasty and that our ancestors occupied it and issued orders, they will not cover up my achievements..."
As a latecomer, Li Po is really open-minded and never pursues perfection.
Li Bi was shocked after hearing this. She looked at her husband and murmured, "Husband, you are really thinking about the long term. I have also read history. Who doesn't say that a foundation will last forever and a country will last forever?"
My husband is good, but you seem to be seeking only the merits of one lifetime?"
Li Po smiled and said: "This is how we talk as husband and wife. Of course we can't talk like this to other people. I have to be like the sages. Otherwise, how can I play with people's hearts and inspire my ministers to serve me?
How could people in the past not know this truth? They are just like me and don’t know how to speak it out loud. There are so many examples and we are not fools.”
Li Bi was amused by him, "That's true. Who would dare to say this except my husband? Aren't you afraid of losing your head? I just hope that the country's fortune will last longer, and don't make it as ugly as the former Sui Dynasty Yang Guang."
Li Po chuckled and couldn't help but think of Li Yu, the late emperor of the Southern Tang Dynasty. His poem "Spring River Flowers and Moonlight Night" has been passed down through the ages. The poem was really good and he could recite it all, but it was a pity that he couldn't show it to others.
He said, "Don't worry, we will live longer and leave a richer family property to our children and grandchildren. I think they won't be ruined so easily."
"Then who can say for sure? If he meets Yang Guang the second time, no amount of wealth will be enough for him to squander. No, I have to ask Yuan'er to copy the Filial Piety Classic a few more times tomorrow..."
Li Yuan, who was only eight years old at this time, shuddered deeply and felt the deep malice from his mother.
…………
After a night of silence, Li Po finished washing up the next day and left Qingning Palace full of energy. He went to Wude Hall to exercise his muscles and bones, and then Shi Shiran went to Tai Chi Hall to work.
Wei Jie, the eunuch of the Shaofu Palace, had been waiting outside the palace early, and waiting with him was Sun Shunde, the eldest minister of the family.
Seeing the emperor arriving, they both bowed and saluted.
Li Po waved his hand, said goodbye, and let them follow him into the inner hall.
Wei Jie held a box in his hand. When the emperor sat down, he handed it to the eunuch serving in the palace and presented it to him.
Li Po looked at the opened box, which contained several coins.
Wei Jie reported: "His Majesty ordered the ministers to mint new coins. It was completed some time ago. It was only submitted to the Ministry of Household Affairs for review and approval, and it has been delayed until now."
Li Po nodded, took out a silver coin, put it in front of his eyes and looked at it carefully.
The matter of minting new coins was decided at the beginning of the year. Generally speaking, minting new coins is mostly due to the change of Yuan, but this time it is a little different.
The old money was widely issued. By the sixth year of Yuanzhen, the Tang Dynasty treasure money was basically the world of Datang treasure money. The previous Kaihuang five-baht money and Daye white money were all collected and re-cast.
However, the Ministry of Revenue reported last year that although treasure money is easy to use, it is still not refined enough and can be easily copied...
In fact, these are all excuses. In this era, who the hell has enough life, or has the financial and material resources to counterfeit coins?
In fact, some people wanted to use this to remind the emperor that it was time to change the Yuan Dynasty.
