After teasing the important minister, he took it seriously

Chapter 103

Since January, Li Chengqi has rarely had a good night's sleep.

It wasn't until a faint light fell on his face that Li Chengqi woke up. Before he opened his eyes, he stretched out his hand to touch his side. It was empty. He frowned slightly. Before he could open his mouth, something cool touched his palm.

"His Majesty."

Yes, Xie Mingyue's voice.

Li Chengqi grabbed Xie Mingyue's hand, held it in front of her eyes, and put it on her eyelids, she woke up from the ice.

Sometimes he even wondered if Xie Mingyue was made by some cold-blooded monster, otherwise why would he be so cold.

"What time?" He asked hoarsely, because he hurt his throat last night, and he was thirsty for water.

"It's two o'clock." Xie Mingyue replied.

Li Chengqi's eyes were hidden under Xie Mingyue's palm, the corners of her lips curled up unconsciously, but she laughed at herself, "It's ridiculous."

He said he didn't get up.

Coming out of the study in the middle of the night, it will be morning time in less than two hours, even if he goes back to Changle Palace and sleeps, he won't be able to sleep for long.

Xie Mingyue whispered: "Just once, it's okay."

Li Chengqi snorted sullenly, "I just feel that Qing should be more vocal."

Xie Mingyue is really good at turning an unreasonable thing into a very lawful thing, and makes the person who does it feel more at ease.

"Yes, the minister took the order." Xie Mingyue said.

Can't tell whether it's comfortable or uncomfortable to sleep, Li Chengqi just feels a little heavy on her body, so she just pulled Xie Mingyue like this, "Have you read the document that I haven't read before? If you have, choose to Tell Gu about it."

Li Chengqi managed to fall asleep, but she was still tired when she woke up. Xie Mingyue didn't want him to bother her, but she was the master of the world.

Since he is a ruler, it should be like this. What's more, Li Chengqi can't tolerate the fact that he doesn't know about the affairs of the court and can't control it. The ancient rule that Yi and Xia do not marry, after all, after all the tribes are included in our dynasty, there will be no difference between Yi and Xia."

Li Chengqi nodded, signaling Xie Mingyue to continue.

"It is necessary to send officials who are good at farming and fortifications to do repairs there. His Majesty has also been to the border area. There is nothing but the vast wasteland." Xie Mingyue continued: "And you might as well call the world. Farmland, whether it is rice, grain, mulberry, or medicine fields, is not acceptable to officials, and it should belong to the person who opened the field, and the land tax will be exempted for ten years."

Li Chengqi said: "We must send officials to do this, and don't let the rich people interfere."

Otherwise, what was originally a good policy to make the homeless people in the Central Plains have land to plant, has become an excuse for the annexation of the rich.

"Yes."

"Within 20 years, the army of the Western Realm cannot be withdrawn." Li Chengqi said slowly.

It may not be difficult to lay down a piece of land, but it is definitely not easy to hold it.

"Chen Liang also wrote a letter on this matter, please Your Majesty to abolish the army of the Western Territory later, but let a group of old and weak soldiers go back to their hometowns first, and the court will give money, food and land, but in this way, I am afraid that there will not be so many lands in all places for a while. .”

Li Chengqi said: "Continue talking."

"I think that if you want the land, you can pay it from the frontier land reclaimed by the government. If you don't want it, you can pay it according to the market price of the land in the Central Plains."

Li Chengqi nodded, "Yes, and," Xie Mingyue pressed his fingers lightly on his temple, "A group of people from the Fifteen Departments will be moved out, settled by the imperial court, and sent to the Central Plains. The original nineteen Tribal divisions are eliminated."

"I feel that if we move the land, it may damage our material resources." Xie Mingyue pondered, "The imperial court will spend more money in the future."

Even though the old debts are required to be returned everywhere, the property of corrupt officials is seized, and a lot of money flows into the national treasury, money is used everywhere.

Especially now that the war has not completely subsided, and the army will spend a lot of money for a day.

Li Chengqi raised his eyes, and joked, "I don't know when Xuandu became the official of the Minister of the Household Department. Tell me, save more time, so that the Minister of the Household Department will not come to Gu every day crying poorly, clamoring to hang himself with his belt."

Which ministries don't cry poorly with the monarch when they calculate the general accounts at the end of the year?The household department is still in charge of money, and crying poor is still the worst.

"Yes, I think that not only the division of tribes should be eliminated, but also the tribes should live together without being completely disorderly."

Li Chengqi didn't want the ministries to unite again. After all, even if the tribal divisions were removed on the surface, the blood was deeply rooted, but they couldn't give up. If they united again, the imperial court would have to send out a large army.

He can fight, but Li Chengqi doesn't want to pour endless soldiers into a place that can't give him too much return.

Li Chengqi understood what Xie Mingyue meant in an instant.

"Even if the various tribes are united, there are still bloody battles between the tribes, and some warlike tribes are separated by generations of blood feuds."

This blood feud exists not only among the royal family, but also among the common people.

"I heard that the remaining fifteen tribes in the Western Territory don't all believe in the wolf god." Xie Mingyue said: "When relocating, those who have differences can be arranged in one place."

Divide and transform, and then use the contradictions between each other to make them fight internally and restrain and consume each other.

Li Chengqi smiled lightly, "Yes."

He raised his face and looked at Xie Mingyue.

Xie Mingyue was concentrating on talking about the border area with Li Chengqi, when the emperor suddenly looked at him, met Li Chengqi's gaze and lowered his head, "Your Majesty?"

Immortal appearance is lost, spirit is clear and bone is beautiful.

Born so beautiful, the means are so ruthless.

Li Chengqi stretched out her hand to touch Xie Mingyue's face.

The latter lowered his head obediently so that he could touch it more easily.

Li Chengqi smiled and said, "I'm very lucky."

Xie Mingyue was puzzled, "What are you lucky about?"

Li Chengqi lightly tapped Xie Mingyue's plain cheek with her finger, "Fortunately, Xuandu is mine..." He didn't say the last two words, only his lips opened and closed.

Xie Mingyue understood what he meant, and her eyes froze suddenly.

"Your Majesty," he gently held Li Chengqi's wrist, lowered his head and said, "I implore Your Majesty, please say it again."

Li Chengqi rolled her eyes, "What did Gu say?"

Fortunately, Qing and Gu Wei are really on opposite sides, otherwise, with Xie Mingyue's mind and methods, they will be the most difficult enemies Li Chengqi has encountered in the two lifetimes.

"Your Majesty is called a minister,"

Li Chengqi smiled and played rogue with him, "You have said that your Majesty treats your ministers. Since you are a monarch and minister, what do you think that Gu Fang called?"

Xie Mingyue was very close to Li Chengqi, "Chengqi." The voice was gentle and mellow, resounding in her ears, and Li Chengqi remembered last night again.

"Xie Qing actually knows that the word "Gu" is Chengqi." Li Chengqi tilted her head slightly, "Gu thought that Qing had already forgotten."

"I dare not."

A soft kiss landed on the corner of her lips, "Cheng Qi, call again." It seemed bewitching.

Li Chengqi looked into his pale eyes and said with a smile, "Qing was not such an impatient person in the past." He raised his head, almost touching the tip of Xie Mingyue's nose, "Now if you can hear me clearly, the day of the wedding If I want to call you Qing, I can't think of anything."

Xie Mingyue paused.

For a moment, Li Chengqi saw an almost blank expression on Xie Mingyue's face, "What does this mean?" Li Chengqi asked intentionally.

That look was fleeting.

Xie Mingyue opened her mouth without saying anything, but her eyes suddenly softened.

"Gu is the emperor, he promises everything," Li Chengqi pinched his chin, "Xie Qing's reaction seems to be doubting Gu."

As a man, Xie Mingyue is also a well-known official in the government and the public. Li Chengqi married him. It is very easy for people to think that the emperor committed himself to a man for the sake of the throne.

"I have never doubted that His Majesty will break his promise." Xie Mingyue lowered his eyes, "Your Majesty has always kept his word."

There was a lump in his throat when he said this.

Even though Xie Mingyue believed that Li Chengqi would not break his promise, he thought that he would have to wait at least a few more years, when the imperial power was unquestionable, just like when Li Zhao was in power, before Li Chengqi would be willing to announce it to the world.

Li Chengqi pinched Xie Mingyue's cheeks with two fingers, and gave him a strange smile, "Is there anything Xie Qing wants in the treasury?"

Even with such an expression, Xie Mingyue still looked surprisingly good-looking, "Dowry?" The servant asked respectfully.

Li Chengqi smiled badly, "I'm hired."

Even though he knew that there was no shortage of Xie's mansion, when the emperor got married, he had to have all the necessary ceremonies.

Officials from the Ministry of Etiquette prepared all the betrothal gifts, but Li Chengqi wanted to add some more, besides what he thought of, he also wanted to ask Xie Mingyue what he liked.

"If you don't want it, I'll save it for Gu." The emperor said blankly, "Why don't you give the Qingyu case to Qing?" If it wasn't for going to Qi Buqi's mansion later, Li Chengqi would not know that Xie Mingyue sent him This sword has such a deep connection, and I couldn't help laughing, "Isn't that one of the dowry for the Qing family to marry their daughter?"

If he had known the deep meaning earlier, Xie Mingyue's mind would have been obvious.

Xie Mingyue was taken aback for a moment, she didn't expect Li Chengqi to know the origin of this sword, but when she didn't care about it right now, Xie Mingyue's expression was a little weird, "Your Majesty wants to take the sword that I gave you as a betrothal gift, and then I will bring it to you. Into the palace?"

Li Chengqi nodded, "What do you think?"

Xie Mingyue clapped her palms, "Your Majesty has always had a hard time with material resources, and I deeply admire you."

Li Chengqi let go of her hand.

Why couldn't he hear what Xie Mingyue said, but he didn't care, and said with a smile: "Sir, now you can tell Gu, what is the meaning of the Qingyu case?"

Xie Mingyue asked him: "Why didn't Your Majesty think of Zhang Heng that day?"

Li Chengqi thought for a while.

The sapphire case, Zhang Heng?

Lu Yuanmo Zhiyi Zeng sigh, what is worrying and worrying.

Li Chengqi sighed and laughed, suddenly became clear.

Four sorrows and Xie Mingyue's state of mind that day have much in common.

But Xie Mingyue didn't say a word, and only gave him the sapphire case after Li Yan gave him the sword.

All kinds of emotions are contained in the sword, but if no one expresses it clearly, Li Chengqi will never know what kind of mood Xie Mingyue felt when she gave the sword.

But even if Li Chengqi didn't know it, for Xie Mingyue at that time, he accepted such a sword, it was a drop in the bucket comfort.

Li Chengqi raised her head, and lightly bit Xie Mingyue's lower lip, "Why can't you think that Qing is waiting alone."

Waiting for you to tell me the meaning;
