Shangyang Palace is surrounded by Luoshui, which is located in the west of Shendu City. In midsummer, there is abundant water vapor here, which is indeed a summer resort. However, in the middle of winter, there is a cold wind whistling and the dampness and frozen bones.

Although there are earth dragon fire paths in the main hall and the curtains are covered, they still cannot completely block the cold wind that penetrates the hall. Therefore, after His Majesty the Holy Emperor came to the hall to meet Wang Meichang, he retreated back to the inner palace warm pavilion.

"This Wang Meichang is really meaningful."

In the warm pavilion, Wu Zetian was half snuggling on the couch, covered with a thick soft quilt. When he remembered the scene when he met Wang Meichang just now, a smile couldn't help but appear on the corner of his mouth.

Wang Meichang didn't say much about the palace, mainly to describe the process of the chaos in King Yong in Xijing. But even so, Wu Zetian could see that he had many scheming and superficial scheming.

After all, many old foxes in the court were in her hands, how could a mere Wang Meichang escape her eyes? In particular, Wang Meichang also went out with the royal heir and his son Longye, and it is said that he would go to Lu Wang Mansion to visit the concubine. Wang Meichang's intention was too obvious.

After thinking about it, Wu Zetian suddenly sighed: "Oh, the emperor's heir, Xuan Ren is almost a coward, not a great master. Such evil relatives who secretly show off their own desires and corrupt family affairs should be killed. A thought of kindness will bring disaster to the future!"

Speaking of this, Wu Zetian also subconsciously thought of herself. She also lost power when the conflict between her relatives broke out. However, the relatives she appointed and indulged had their own functions in the end. But Wang Meichang was really useless, and the indulgence given by the royal heir had far exceeded the value she had.

At this time, there were many people serving in the warm room, but no one dared to answer the conversation. Even Shangguan Wan'er was concentrating on picking dust next to the warm room.

Wu Zetian was also bored when he talked to himself. After thinking about it, he said, "Go and call Mrs. Tang."

Not long after, Princess Zheng, Princess Tang and others arrived. When the ceremony was over, Wu Zetian signaled Tang Lingshu to come in and said with a smile: "You have heard of some of the deeds of King Yong in the Pass, right? Mr. Tang, I ask you, are you living in Qianling Mausoleum with King Yong for many years? In Xijing, is the old clothes club involved in King Yong?"

When Tang Lingshu heard this, he was shocked and shook his head repeatedly and said, "I really don't know what Your Majesty asks. When I was staying with Your Highness to guard Qianling, I abide by the rules in daily life and food, and I don't care about external affairs..."

Wu Zetian looked at her seriously, and then suddenly smiled after a moment: "It seems that there is something, the little thief has a profound plan!"

"No, really not!"

After hearing this, Tang Lingshu quickly denied it again, and turned to look at Princess Zheng and others for help. Zheng Wenyin stepped forward and said, "I am staying in the house. Your Majesty is ignorant of asking for things, and hastily responded only to seek profit and avoid harm. A short thought is not enough to make a living. If Your Majesty seeks true knowledge, you still have to ask the person in charge."

"Forget it, gossip around the fire, don't be nervous. The little ladies are lucky, and it happens that your grandmother is open-minded."

Wu Zetian still had a smile on his face, and then blinked and sighed: "King Yong is very strong. He is not his strength in serving others, and his strength is not inferior to his ancestors. I am still hard to cure the old bad, and he dares to assassinate the root and feet. This alone is not comparable to my son. His grandmother Yu Shengchang's blessings, and honor and disgrace behind him depends on him."

Speaking of this, Wu Zetian suddenly looked at several wives and smiled, "Do you want to go west to Chang'an and gather with your husband?"

Hearing this, the ladies subconsciously sat upright and looked at the Holy Emperor in anticipation. Even Shangguan Wan'er, who was cooking incense by the fire, trembled her wrists and subconsciously raised her ears.

"Men loves women, and loves people, and loves people. But in a short period of time, you are afraid of being disappointed."

Seeing the expressions of several wives, Wu Zetian showed a grudge of evil spirits on his face: "King Yong is willing to support the country with his own strength, and it is difficult to show his own intentions. He has put his strength in eliminating evil, and he will be very likely to be calm in the next few years. The upper and lower levels of the pass are rectified, and the surrounding thieves will not be able to calm down in a short period of time. You can stay in Shendu and keep him a way out, but if they all go west, he will return to the east even more without a lifetime.

Stay in this state with peace of mind and comfort my grandmother so that she can be smooth for many years. Although I have been counter-attacked, I hope my grandson can achieve glory. If I don’t die for a day, King Yong will not be a rootless person, so I can protect my worries.”

Speaking of this, Wu Zetian pointed to Princess Zheng Wenyin and said, "The princess will return to the province recently and tell her in-laws that she does not have to be greedy for the empty seat of the Political Affairs Hall. The number of visitors in the pass is rampant. King Yong wants to become a powerful enemy with this corner. It is impossible to cover the vast number of villages and communities. It is urgent to build a household registration and maintain a custody. This is also the top priority. Di Renjie wants to divide the Political Affairs Hall, and the subordinates have to fight for it. Taking advantage of this, it is a good time to enter the Ministry of Revenue."

After hearing this, Zheng Wenyin's eyes lit up and she hurriedly said, "I will follow Your Majesty's mission and will go to the shop to visit my family tomorrow."

At this time, the Political Affairs Hall was also discussing the affairs of Xijing. All ten prime ministers were absent. The Secretariat Li Zhaode naturally presided over the meeting.

But as soon as the meeting began, Prime Minister Wei Juyuan raised his hand and said, "Dou Xuanfu's life and death are unknown, and his whereabouts are still unknown. At this time, he will discuss the matter of rewarding merits, afraid it will be too early? If the imperial edict is issued and Dou Xuanfu is then killed in the wild, this will also be a major destruction of the prestige of the court, and he has to worry about it."

"Dou Huai made Xuanfu not good, harming the country, even if he survived, he would have to punish him severely! He was born with Xuanfu, but Xijing was born with a jazz and thieves the country. The crime of surviving the people and attacking the city was unharmonious. He immediately took his mission of Xuanfu and did not stop the state's progress!"

As soon as Wei Juyuan finished speaking, Li Zhaode spoke, his tone was tough and unquestionable. He had made a decision directly without waiting for everyone to discuss it.

Everyone present saw that Li Zhaode was so strong, and his expression was somewhat uncomfortable. Although you are indeed experienced and prestige, everyone is the prime minister sitting in the hall, rather than the minor official who bowed down to his head and accepted the order. You can at least leave some time for everyone to express their support!

Moreover, long before King Yong went west, a courtier proposed to directly remove Dou Huairang from his position as Xuanfu, but Li Zhaode insisted that he should not be so weak. But now Li Zhaode has changed his attitude, which makes people think a lot.

Li Zhaode ignored everyone's thoughts, but pointed to Yang Zaisi, the minister of the disciple, and said: "The Ministry of Personnel will remove the title of the person who was reported by Xijing as soon as possible to make the sentence quickly."

After hearing this, Yang Zaisi nodded. He didn't have much thought. Not to mention not daring to directly contradict Li Zhaode, he was obliged to make up for the loopholes in the rules for King Yong.

But someone still couldn't help but sneer. Cui Xuanwei stood up from the table and said, "Nearly a thousand people's heads have rolled to the ground, the blood is dry, and the corpses are rotten. Isn't it ridiculous now that the court decides whether the punishment is determined or not?"

"They are outside, and they have their own temporary measures. The thieves in Xijing are like fire, and the emperor's destiny cannot be passed on in time. Once the time is missed, things may change again. Your Highness Yong's punishment is in good condition, which is originally the authority within the rituals and axes."

Zheng Gao raised his hand and said, and as he spoke, he looked at Xue Ji and asked, "What does Xue Sanqi think about this?"

When Xue Ji heard this, his face suddenly darkened. What could he think? He was the only prime minister in the hall who was promoted by the emperor. The one who was prosecuted by the emperor's father-in-law of the Xijing was the emperor's father-in-law. Can he still discipline the emperor's father-in-law for the emperor?

"Forget it, the case has become a decisive situation, and you can just review the entire volume. The various schools in Xijing have a conclusive evidence. King Yong decided to kill the thief indiscriminately, so there is no need to discuss this matter again."

Seeing that Xue Ji was silent for a while, Di Renjie spoke again.

"Since Mr. Di said that, that's it."

Hearing Di Renjie's speech, Wei Juyuan smiled kindly at Di Renjie, and then said, "But, King Yong's relief and relieving the people from Xijing are exempted from mediocrity. Is there anything worth discussing about this matter? I remember that at the beginning of the year, Ou Gong cut off cultural relics because the treasury is empty and he was frugal and extravagant.

Mr. Di is in charge of the Ministry of Revenue, and the state's expenses are in his arms. Will the exemption from the Western Jing besides the gods? So far, the salary of the dynasty has been delayed for more than a few months. He donated his strength to the country in the court, and returned home and had a cold food. If this continues, how will the scholastic scholars be raised?"

As soon as he said this, everyone present changed slightly, especially the prime ministers of King Yong and others lowered their heads. The Shendu court had a difficult time, and it was done by King Yong. The treasury was so empty that it could run away the rats, so the pot could not be removed.

Until now, it has directly affected the living standards of all officials in the Shendu City, and many ceremonies have to be postponed, which is really unrestrained. In the past year of the Holy Emperor, the ministers attended the ceremony, and the scene was not only strong, but the ministers could still eat and take it, and each had their own income. However, now, even the monthly salary has been delayed, let alone team building.

At the beginning of each year, it is an important time for accounting and annual expenditure. For this reason, although Di Renjie has been very popular in joining the province, it has not been realized. Now, the annual expenditure plan has not been made yet, and it is naturally more difficult to make a budget in Xijing.

Di Renjie did not answer Wei Juyuan's question directly, but turned to look at Lu Yuanfang and said, "Consul Lu is responsible for the transportation of the grain. Can you have any suggestions here?"

"The capital and the grain affairs in the capital have achieved great results. The current trap is only a short time. After the beginning of spring, materials from various states will be relieved."

Lu Yuanfang was quite confident about this, after all, Wang Fangqing left him a good foundation.

"After all, it's still far away and water that can't quench your near thirst!"

Wei Juyuan sighed, but stopped talking and sat back in his seat.

After a moment of silence, Li Zhaode spoke: "There is a riot in Xijing, and the Juemen breaks the law. Can the prime minister lose his duties? If the matter is established, he will be praised; if the governance is lost, he will be punished!"

While speaking, he looked at Wei Juyuan coldly.

Seeing this, Wei Juyuan suddenly felt a sudden stern, knowing that he was too active during this period and had angered Li Zhaode.

Li Zhaode's meaning is very simple. Since the court officials of the Shendu have become resentful because of their reduced treatment, they will cut off one or two prime ministers and start to shock the public.
