The first thousand two hundred and forty-one chapters work hard for the country

On the 26th of the twelfth lunar month in the fourteenth year of Xuanping, another year is coming to an end.

In a few days, the Spring Festival will usher in, thus kicking off the fifteenth year of Xuanping.

On this day, Li Xuan did not handle government affairs in the outer palace as before, but handled household affairs in the harem.

It is said to be a household matter, but in fact it is a state matter. A few days ago, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs reported that women donated by the Oara people and women donated by the Turpan Khanate had arrived in the capital one after another and were sent to the palace together yesterday.

middle.

In other words, yesterday, Li Xuan sacrificed himself for the safety of the Tang Empire's border in the northwest region, and fought fiercely for most of the night with the daughters, granddaughters, sisters, and other foreign women of foreign rulers.

Yesterday's battle was quite fierce. Even an eternal sage like Li Xuan had to spend a lot of energy to conquer these foreign women.

The sequelae was that his legs were a little weak today. It happened to be the end of the year and there was nothing important to do. He simply gave himself a day off.

Speaking of which, being an emperor is quite hard. From the beginning to the end of the year, there is no holiday. Even the ministers have holidays, but he, the emperor, does not.

In the twelfth year of Xuanping, the Tang Empire promulgated new laws and regulations on statutory holidays, stipulating that the Spring Festival, Qingming Festival, Dragon Boat Festival, Mid-Autumn Festival, Double Ninth Festival, Winter Solstice and the Emperor's Birthday were all statutory holidays, giving officials a unified holiday ranging from one to three days.

.

Later, half-monthly leave was implemented, which stipulated that one day of leave could be taken every half month on weekdays.

Therefore, during holidays, except for those on duty, most officials can get rest time.

But as the emperor of the empire, Li Xuan couldn't do it. He was busy on the first day of the new year, and all kinds of etiquette were waiting for him to host.

Not to mention on weekdays, there is a morning meeting in the morning, and after the morning meeting, they review the papers. After reviewing the papers, they start to meet with the ministers and deal with some important matters in person.

Then it was lunch time, but many times in order to save time, he would give banquets and let the ministers in attendance eat with them and talk while eating. Of course, most of the time he would eat and listen at the same time. The ministers could only

Just take a few symbolic bites, and then seize the time to report orally.

Therefore, although it is a very honorable thing to have lunch with the Holy Emperor, the process is actually not very pleasant, because the Holy Emperor is short of time, so they spend so much time talking nonsense, they can only seize as much as possible during lunch time

Time to report.

This meal is definitely not enough.

But they can't starve. The Emperor Sheng has a habit of continuing his work until lunch time, and listening to reports while eating. This is a routine. Ministers with a little experience know that they should fill their stomachs before going to the audience, otherwise they will have to wait until lunch.

Time, either you choose to eat to fill your stomach, or you choose to make a report in this precious time.

Even if they are inexperienced, ministers who meet the Holy Emperor for the first time will often be told to eat before going.

After lunch, the Holy Emperor would take a short lunch break and wait for the afternoon to continue summoning his ministers. At the same time, he would also deal with some of the documents sent that day.

Wait until six o'clock in the evening, and the Holy Emperor will get off work on time!

Unless there is a major military event, such as an emergency military report!

Otherwise, no one can expect Li Xuan to stay and work overtime.

But he was busy after get off work. There were hundreds of concubines with official titles in the huge harem waiting for him to come over, and then spread their wings for the royal family to consolidate the country's foundation, not to mention the dozens of concubines in the dance troupe. The dancers and musicians are all waiting for his guidance.

These things, for ordinary people, may be pleasure, but for the Holy Emperor Li Xuan, this is not pleasure, it is a state matter!

Having more sons, leaving descendants for the royal family, and allowing the Tang Empire to have heirs to continue, this is the most important responsibility of an emperor, bar none.

Last night, Li Xuan worked hard for several hours on state affairs and whipped more than a dozen women sent from the Oara and Turpan Khanates, which can be regarded as a display of our country's prestige.

But as for Li Xuan, he sometimes lifts his pants and refuses to recognize people. He just runs away after doing this. He doesn't even grant titles to these women, even though there are several stunning women among them.

For Li Xuan, it's just a taste, but he won't be stunned by these beauties.

Besides, he has seen many beauties, of all types. With a wave of his hand, a large number of people lined up to send him those stunning women. In the past two years, Osumi County even donated one.

Fuso woman.

Her background is not young, she is the legitimate daughter of the contemporary Emperor Fuso.

how come?

Naturally, Emperor Fuso donated it voluntarily, crying and shouting that he wanted to give his daughter to the emperor of the Tang Empire, the Holy Emperor Li Xuan, to enjoy.

Of course, the magistrate of Osumi Prefecture would not report it. The reason why Emperor Fuso cried and shouted for a woman to be sacrificed was because a daimyo under the control of the Tang Dynasty directly entered the emperor's dilapidated palace and used his bayonets.

Because of lack of money, the enthronement ceremony of the new emperor was never held.

Emperor Fuso was living a very hard life these days. He didn't even have enough money for the enthronement ceremony, and the palace he lived in was in tatters. As for things like force, not to mention, it was just a medium-strength person supported by the Tang Dynasty.

All the famous names can easily enter the emperor's palace.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has recently been thinking that since the Emperor Fuso is of no use in the first place, and it is really treasonous to be an emperor, he should just abolish it.

But considering that it would easily arouse the resentment of many big names in Fuso and affect the entire Fuso strategy, we did not take any action.

They directly adopted a simpler and more straightforward method, snatching the emperor's legitimate daughter directly, and then presented it to the Holy Emperor. If the woman had a son and a half in the future, she would be directly sent back to Fuso to become the new emperor.

In this way, the entire Fusang can be legitimately brought under the rule of the Tang Dynasty in the future, which is easier than conquering by force.

Of course, I don’t know if Fuso people agree with it or not.

However, within the Tang Empire, few people cared about what the Fusang people thought. They just wanted to find a reason for themselves so as not to look too ugly.

After all, the Tang Empire was still a country of benevolence and righteousness. As the only superpower on earth and even in the entire universe, it still needed face, and it couldn't be too popular to look ugly.

In fact, it is not just Fusang. In fact, most of the surrounding vassal states such as Vietnam will donate several royal daughters to Li Xuan.

Well, please note that this is not a marriage, but a donation!

The Tang Empire never married with foreigners!

The awesome Tang Dynasty never relied on marriage alliances to win over foreign races. Basically, all foreign races took the initiative to contribute.
