Three days passed in a flash.

In the Hall of Eternal Life, Li Si listened to the report of the Minister of Revenue.

Three days ago, Li Si angrily denounced the court and asked a minister of War to retire and return home. The minister of the Ministry of Revenue made extremely smooth progress in counting the land.

Officials of all sizes in Chang'an City dared not obstruct the Minister of Revenue from doing business.

Of course, some officials deliberately or unintentionally hide the land and pretend to be unaware of it.

After the Minister of Revenue made a clear investigation, he secretly recorded the names of these officials and reported them to the emperor.

After the emperor came forward to deal with several groups of officials, no official in the entire Chang'an City dared to conceal the land.

In just three days, the Minister of Revenue has counted a small and a half of the families in Chang'an City.

However, the Minister of Revenue was not complacent.

Because the real difficulty in counting the land in the world is not the officials in Chang'an.

But the aristocratic families in various places.

These aristocratic families were headed by the governors of all parties and were in power, and they had never respected the imperial power.

If they were happy with the emperor's orders, they might as well follow it. If they were unhappy, they would not bother to pay attention to it.

Emperors of the Tang Dynasty had no good idea about this.

After all, the governors from all sides have their own troops and control the military power of the Tang Dynasty. Even the emperor is unwilling to force him too much.

After the Minister of Revenue reported, he withdrew from the Hall of Eternity. Li Si sat on the dragon throne and fell into deep thought.

A moment later, the Minister of Rites came to pay a visit.

"I've seen Your Majesty." The Minister of Rites knelt down and bowed.

"Get up." Li Si waved his hand: "What do you have to say about my dear?"

The Minister of Rites bowed and said, "Report to Your Majesty, Fan Yang, the only son of the Hexi Jiedushi, has arrived in Chang'an and is currently waiting for His Majesty to summon him outside the palace."

"Hexi Jiedushi?"

Li Si narrowed his eyes slightly.

The Hexi Jiedushi was one of the top ten Jiedushis of the Tang Dynasty. He had 500,000 troops and was stationed in Liangzhou.

The purpose of establishing the Hexi Jiedushi was to prevent the Turkic Kingdom from raiding the Tang Dynasty!

"What's the matter?"

Li Si looked up and glanced at the Minister of Rites.

"The Hexi Jiedushi is not feeling well and the year is approaching. He cannot come to Chang'an in person to pay his respects to His Majesty."

"So, I specially asked my only son to come to Chang'an to pay his respects to His Majesty on his behalf!"

The Minister of Rites said carefully.

"Discomfort?"

Li Si sneered: "I'm afraid I'm worried that I will kill him!"

"I am guilty of my crime"

The Minister of Rites looked frightened and knelt on the ground with a thud.

Li Si's eyes were calm, and he looked at the Minister of Rites kneeling on the ground and said, "Let this Fan Yang wait outside the palace."

"When I have time, I will consider whether to summon him."

"I obey the order!"

The Minister of Rites did not dare to say much, so he asked the emperor for instructions and withdrew from the Hall of Eternal Life.

Li Si rubbed his eyebrows.

The original purpose of the Tang Dynasty's Jiedu system was to guard the border and resist foreign enemies for the Tang Dynasty's royal family.

However, at present, the military governors in various places are too big to lose their orders, and they have even disobeyed the emperor's orders, and even the Anshi Rebellion has occurred, which almost ruined the Tang Dynasty.

In Li Si's opinion, there is only one reason for this.

Imbalance of rights.

The governors of various places have the right to form an army, the right to collect taxes from the people within the scope, and the right to appoint and remove soldiers.

Even the Tang Dynasty had to meet the various needs of the Jiedushi.

In this way, how can there be no problem?

Perhaps the first generation of military governors were loyal and would not think of rebellion.

But what about the second and third generations?

He holds such a great power, but there is no check or balance.

As long as one of the younger generations has a little ambition

The result is conceivable!

Just as Li Si thought about it, the eunuch near the servant entered the hall and reported: "Report to Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager asked Your Majesty to go to Yong'an Palace, saying that he was the beautiful girl who entered the palace."

Li Si waved his hand: "I understand."

Li Si had long known about the Empress Dowager's large-scale talent show in the folk.

However, the Empress Dowager just chose some beautiful women, and did not force the emperor to accept a concubine, so Li Si turned a blind eye.

Li Si stood up and ordered to go down to set up Yong'an Palace.

"Your Majesty, let me go with you."

"I haven't seen my aunt for a long time."

When Dan Tai Yiren saw the emperor, she couldn't help but say.

Li Si looked at Dan Tai Yiren and said, "Okay, come with me too."

"Thank you Your Majesty." Dan Tai Yiren was delighted.

The main purpose of her follower to Yong'an Palace was, of course, not to meet the Queen Mother.

Tan Tai Yiren is preparing to take a look at his future competitor in advance.

Tan Tai Yiren knew very well that the purpose of these beautiful girls who entered the palace was the same as his.

I hope to gain the favor of the emperor and then ascend to the sky.

Soon, Li Si came to Yong'an Palace.

The Empress Dowager looked at the emperor with joy and said, "Your Majesty, the beautiful girl who entered the palace this time, I think it's very good. I'll introduce it to you later."

"Please trouble my mother!"

"What's the trouble?" The Empress Dowager couldn't hide her joy: "The Ai family felt that the daughter of the Minister of Works was good, dignified and beautiful, and had a graceful figure. She would definitely give birth to a big fat boy!"

"There are also a few folk girls who are OK."

"Although they are not from a family of officials, they are all innocent and I promise to satisfy you."

Since Li Si entered Yong'an Palace, the Empress Dowager has never stopped talking.

In the Queen Mother's opinion, Dan Tai Yiren may have been persuaded by the emperor because of his identity as a Demon Sect, but these beautiful ladies who entered the palace have been citizens of the Tang Dynasty for generations, so Your Majesty should be satisfied.

Once the emperor is satisfied, wouldn’t it be natural to collect a few on the dragon couch?

Maybe the Empress Dowager will really be able to hold the fat grandson by the end of next year.

By then, the Yong'an Palace would not be so deserted

The east gate of the palace.

Cao Zhengchun stood on the city wall and inspected back and forth.

In order to ensure that everything is foolproof, Cao Zhengchun personally guarded a sect. With him, the powerful god and demon realm, the remnants of the Demon Sect came to die as much as possible.

As for the west gate, south gate and north gate of the palace, they are jointly guarded by several imperial guards, the East Factory Du Guard.

Even if the former at the level of gods and demons attacks, it can be delayed for a while, which is enough to make Cao Zhengchun arrive.

"I don't know why, the Zajia was still feeling a little restless today." Cao Zhengchun frowned.

Du Kang, the deputy governor of the East Factory next to him, said: "The governor does not need to worry. The palace has been blocked by the people from my East Factory. Any idle person who wants to enter the palace will inevitably undergo numerous investigations!"

Cao Zhengchun frowned and said nothing.

"Who entered the palace today?"

Cao Zhengchun asked.

"Some officials and the beautiful girls who entered the palace." Du Kang said with a bow.

"Show girl?" Cao Zhengchun's pupils shrank and he asked repeatedly: "Show girl can be investigated in the East Factory?"

"The governor, the queen is the one summoned by the empress dowager, and my Dongchang has no right to investigate." The deputy governor Du Kang looked hesitant.

"not good!"

Cao Zhengchun's face changed wildly!

"There is a problem with the beautiful girl who entered the palace!"

Cao Zhengchun suddenly turned around and looked deep in the palace
Chapter completed!
