"It's hard to find out. This person is very hidden and has a high level of cultivation."
Long Chen shook his head. If he could dig it out easily, he would have done it himself.
Miaoyin said: "The world is different, the sects are scattered, and there is no fixed way to do things, so it is difficult to track."
"Dealing with people in the world is more like catching a thief than a battlefield."
Miaoyin is a Jianghu person, and she understands Jianghu better.
"With such a person hiding behind and stirring up trouble, things are a bit tricky."
The empress frowned, feeling very uneasy.
"He won't disrupt your wedding, right?"
The empress asked worriedly.
Long Chen smiled and said: "It would be great if he dares to come."
If you show up at a wedding, it will be really troublesome, it will cause commotion, and the wedding will not be grand enough.
However, as long as he dares to show up, Long Chen is sure to kill him.
"Yeah, that's right."
The empress felt that she was worrying too much, as this situation was unlikely.
"For today's plan, let Jinsha City hold its ground. As long as the Uz Kingdom doesn't come, just letting some stragglers make trouble will be useless."
The only way Long Chen could think of to deal with it was this.
Beware of a thief for a thousand days, be a thief for a while.
I used to go into Xixia and Nanliang to cause trouble, and it felt very satisfying.
Now that other people are playing like this, Long Chen feels very annoyed.
"That's it. Your wedding will be coming soon. The Ministry of Industry says that the palace is almost built, and you are ready to get married."
"Yu Wei can't even hide his stomach, look at the good things you have done."
The empress was a little unhappy.
Long Chen smiled and said: "I want the Holy Master to have his grandson as soon as possible."
Miaoyin laughed and said, "How shameless. I've never seen anything like this."
The empress stretched her body and said: "You are now the regent, so you should share more of the state affairs for me. These memorials are sent here every day, and they are often reviewed until late at night. I will ask them to be sent to your house tomorrow. You yourself
Please review it slowly."
Long Chen smiled and said: "Your Majesty, I am not familiar with these things."
Reviewing memorials means reading documents, which is time-consuming, labor-intensive, and very irritating. Long Chen doesn't want to do this.
The empress said: "Okay, it's decided. You go back and I'll talk to my sister."
The empress refused to let Long Chen refuse, so Long Chen smiled, got up and left Fengming Palace.
It was windy and snowy outside, and Long Chen, wearing a large cloak, slowly left the palace.
Returning to the palace, He Juntao said: "Qianlongtang Hua Zixi is here."
Qianlongtang is the largest branch of the Dragon Gang in the capital. Since the fall of the Tianxiahui, the business of Qianlongtang has been on par with Jujintang, and they are the two largest chambers of commerce.
Immortal Ji Xian is in Qielan Kingdom, and his industry is still in the Central Plains. There is a steady flow of money and materials flowing into Qielan Kingdom.
The former master of Qianlong Hall was Shi Jian, but later he was replaced by Hua Zixi.
Walking into the living room, a woman in her forties was sitting there.
Seeing Long Chen, the woman immediately stood up and saluted: "Meet the regent."
Long Chen sat down: "Master Hua Hall is so polite, please sit down."
Hua Zixi sat down, and Long Chen asked: "If you don't go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, what's the matter with Hall Master Hua?"
Hua Zixi smiled and said: "The regent has many things to do, so I won't be polite. The queen knows that the regent is getting married and ordered us to prepare gifts."
Long Chen smiled: "Thank you Queen for me."
Hua Zixi knew the relationship between Long Chen and Ji Xianxian, and also knew that Long Chen helped Ji Xianxian regain her country.
"The gift has been given to Commander He. If there is nothing else to do, I will take my leave now."
Hua Zixi came here only to give gifts. Once the gifts were delivered, she left.
"Master of the Flower Hall, you can come and sit here often when you are free."
Long Chen sent Hua Zixi away.
.
Time flies very quickly and the wedding day arrives in a blink of an eye.
The main streets of the capital were hung with lanterns, and the palace and palaces were decorated with paper cuts.
The festive atmosphere spread throughout the capital, and everyone knew that Long Chen was getting married in two days.
.
Fengming Palace.
Xu Zhong, the Minister of Rites, and Gui Hepu, the Minister of Taichang Temple, were standing in the Imperial Study Room, while the empress was looking over the gift list carefully.
Master Ziyun and Master Miaoyin helped with the inventory.
"What is the total population of the capital? How many households?"
The empress asked, and Xu Zhong and Guihe Pu looked at each other. They were not from the Ministry of Household Affairs and did not know the household registration population.
"The humble minister is stupid, I have to ask Duan Shangshu about this matter."
Xu Zhong replied carefully.
"Call Duan Shuangshuang."
The empress issued an order, and Zhuang Ling'er immediately announced her duties and made an audience.
Soon, Duan Shuangshuang arrived at the imperial study room.
"The population of the capital, how many households are there?"
"The capital's population is 1.36 million within the city and 1.2 million outside the city, for a total of 2.56 million."
"The number of households is about 500,000 within the city and 400,000 outside the city."
Duan Shuang is the Minister of Household Affairs and knows the data very well.
The empress shook her head and said, "Forget it."
Xu Zhong, the Minister of Rites, said: "I obey the decree."
The empress plans to give money to every household so that everyone can celebrate.
But in the end, after calculation, it was too much and not enough money to spend.
Ziyun smiled and said: "The palace has money, so let the prince consort pay for it."
The empress said: "It cost a lot of money to build the palace, so I won't embarrass him."
"In this way, rewards for all officials in the capital will be given to each official according to their rank."
Can't give it
The common people can only pay money to the officials in the end.
Miaoyin smiled and said, "That's a lot of money."
The empress snorted coldly: "Anyway, if you leave his palace, my treasury will have no money."
Duan Shuangshuang felt relieved because the treasury really had no money.
"Everything should be done according to what the Ministry of Etiquette has decided. The rituals and music of Taichang Temple must be prepared to avoid any problems."
Xu Zhong and Gui Hepu bowed to each other and said, "Wei Chen has accepted the decree, and Wei Chen will definitely handle it well."
The empress closed the long gift list and asked, "Is there any question?"
Ziyun Miaoyin shook his head and said, "No problem."
The empress said: "Then let's do it."
Xu Zhong, the Minister of Rites, said: "I obey the decree."
The three of them exited Fengming Palace and went back to the Yamen to do their work.
On Long Chen's wedding, the Ministry of Rites and Taichang Temple were in charge. Xu Zhong and Gui Hepu were ready not to sleep.
.
Prince Wu's Mansion.
Long Chen was sitting in the study, while Bai Tingting, Wu Chuchu, Wu Xiangyun, and Zhao Ying were at their desks reviewing the memorial.
The empress decreed that the memorials from the officials in the court should be sent to the palace first. After being reviewed by Long Chen, if the decision could not be made, then they would be sent to Fengming Palace.
Hundreds of memorials were sent to the palace every day, making Long Chen very anxious.
One person is grading from morning until night, and still can't finish reading.
In the end, I had no choice but to call the four of Bai Tingting over to help.
The four of them come from official families. They have read books and know about government affairs, so they can help.
The door opened and Su Yourong came in with a few bills.
"Sir, this is from the Ministry of Rites and Taichang Temple. Please take a look."
Su Yourong put it on the table. Long Chen raised his head, rubbed his eyes, and said tiredly: "The Ministry of Rites and Taichang Temple? What do they have to do?"
Su Yourong felt sorry for Long Chen and said, "Sir, they are arranging your wedding. This is the top priority, and you are already overwhelmed."
Long Chen put down his ink pen, shook his head and said, "Oh, yes, you forgot about this, there are still two days left, right?"
Su Yourong walked behind Long Chen and kneaded Long Chen's temples.
"Yes, the wedding is in two days. You can suppress this memorial or ask them to help deal with it."
Long Chen smiled and said: "You said yesterday that letting them review memorials would easily lead to the harem interfering in politics."
Bai Tingting dropped the ink pen in her hand and complained: "What kind of harem is involved in politics? I don't want to do this kind of politics. I'm exhausted."
"No, this is unfair. Let Sister Qian and the others come over and review it together."
Zhao Ying was so tired that she lay on the table tiredly: "Why are there so many memorials? I'm exhausted."
Wu Chuchu and Wu Xiangyun were also exhausted, rubbing their eyes and complaining: "It's okay to fight, but this copywriting review is so exhausting."
Long Chen picked up the list from the Ministry of Etiquette and Taichang Temple. After reading it, he said: "Just follow their instructions. For the wedding, the bride is beautiful, the guests eat and drink well, and everyone is happy. Don't be so red tape."
Su Yourong said: "This is usually the case. Your Excellency is the regent. When you become the emperor in the future, you must not be careless about your wedding."
Long Chen threw down the order and said: "That's it, Aunt, please take care of it for a while."
Su Yourong put away the list and said, "The wedding will be held in two days. Please have a good rest. Each of the four brides will be there tonight."
Bai Tingting said unhappily: "Being a groom four times in one night, oh, it feels good just thinking about it."
Zhao Ying blushed and said nothing, lowered her head and continued to read the memorial.
Wu Chuchu smiled and said: "Tingting, why are you so anxious? I will marry you."
Bai Tingting snorted coldly: "I don't even bother."
Long Chen leaned on the chair and said: "Tomorrow. Okay, I understand."
Su Yourong went out, and Long Chen got up and left the study.
The palace was decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations, and the palace maids were busy. Zhang Qian and Dugu Jiali directed everyone to prepare, and they were very busy.
After leaving Prince Wu's Mansion, lanterns and red silk were hung on the streets outside. Children were running and laughing, shouting "The Regent's wedding."
What an atmosphere.
Long Chen was a little enlightened. Thinking of the things in that world, it felt like it was just a dream, and this place was real.
Walking through the street, we arrived at a government office in the west of the city. The archway said: Xichang.
This is Feng He's yamen.
When the guards at the door saw Long Chen, they immediately bowed to him.
After entering the back office, Feng He hurriedly came out to greet him.
"You don't even say a word when you come, so I can welcome you."
"Stop talking nonsense, I will be getting married tomorrow. Is there anything unusual in the capital?"
Long Chen was worried that the assassin would cause trouble at the wedding, so he came over specifically to ask.
"The capital is being watched to death, and nothing unusual is found."
"What about Jinling? What about other cities?"
Feng He said in embarrassment: "Sir, the world is so big, and the manpower of Xichang is not enough to cover it all. I can only say that the capital and Jinling are fine."
Long Chen nodded and said: "If you want to cause trouble, you should be in the capital to make a big fuss."
Making trouble in other places will have no effect and cannot affect Long Chen's wedding.
"Keep an eye on him, I think he will definitely cause trouble at the wedding, but how and where he will cause trouble is difficult to find out."
Long Chen thought about it carefully and couldn't think of where he would start.
Feng He smiled and said: "My lord, just worry about getting married. I guarantee that there will be no problems in the capital in the past few days."
Long Chen nodded and said: "That's good, I'm leaving."
Feng He saw Long Chen out. When he arrived at the door, Feng He asked: "Sir, you two dogs, please help me find a job."
