It was already very late at night, and Li Longji, the King of Linzi, lying in his clothes, but he still had no sleepiness. He put one hand on his belly and the other hand into the brocade quilt, gently rubbing the hilt of a sword with his fingertips, and in the dim tent, his eyes were opened with a glimmer of light.

In the evening, my brother complained, but he only resented the arrogance of the servant Yao Yuanchong, the servant of the Secretariat. After scolding and venting, he returned to the residence to rest. He had no idea how much psychological burden his accusation had brought to Li Longji.

Li Longji was a little envious of his brother's heartlessness and ignorance, but he knew that he could not do that, otherwise their brothers would be in a more worrying situation.

Recently, I carefully sorted out all the things I planned to interact with people in my mind, and gradually my sense of crisis became stronger.

After learning about the Qinghai victory a few days ago, Li Longji plucked up the courage to make a brief test, hoping to expand his social interaction by taking advantage of the opportunity of presenting military music to attend the ceremony, but was opposed and scolded by the Empress Dowager.

This old woman has always had a bad attitude towards their brothers and has no affection for her. Now that she has lost her power, she has even enjoyed suppressing her brothers and pleading with the saints.

She had been in power for half her life, and her thoughts and plans were all evil. She was even more worried that once her brothers became powerful, they might retaliate against them because of their parents' hatred, and were very careful about their brothers. She was already like this on the surface, and she didn't know how evil slander would be carried out in front of the saints behind their backs.

In order to avoid this situation, Li Longji hurriedly presented the memorial and proposed Fengshan, hoping to restore some good impression from the saint. But in fact, he did not want the saint to adopt Fengshan's suggestions. The saint's throne was taken away from his father. The more noble the saint's power, the more dimmer his father would undoubtedly reflect.

But now he really has no better choice to plan. The sage is ambitious and is very happy to be successful. He even leads the army in person, just to exaggerate and confirm his reputation and eliminate the hidden dangers of incorrect gain of his reputation.

Fengshan is a grand ceremony for emperors. Few people in the throne can refuse such temptation of glory. If you want to hold Fengshan, who is more convincing than the son of the previous emperor?

For example, in the past, the world ridiculed the Queen's mercy and ungratefulness and did not care about her descendants. The saints were all kinds of clever and charming and favoring her preferences. As expected, they gained a lot and even gained a chance to win the throne and eventually made it a reality.

Now that my brothers and saints were in similar situations back then, it is safest to adopt similar strategies.

The development of the situation was indeed as expected. He received the attention of the saint shortly after he made a statement, and he was promoted to several levels with this official position and was appointed as the Shaoqing of Guanglu. Obviously, his statement was to be able to agree with the saint's preferences and thank him in this way.

However, Li Longji's heart suddenly felt a warning when his brother encountered this day. It seemed that the real situation was somewhat different from his own experience, and the difference might be quite large.

As the Minister of the Secretariat, the Prime Minister of the Political Affairs Hall, Yao Yuanchong was the saint's important minister. His words and deeds could represent the saint's will to a certain extent. He sent his family slaves to recall his son from his own banquet, and was reluctant to give him such a little face. Does it mean that the saint also had similar malice towards their brothers?

With such a life experience, Li Longji did not expect the saints to be completely unprepared for their brothers, but because of their decent overall situation, many things cannot be done too harshly and exposed.

In addition to his bloodline, he had another point that would make the saint more alert to him, that is, he had adopted his uncle Li Hong and was the son of the Yizong. The saint respected the two sects not long ago, so he downplayed the inheritance of the Yizong.

From the performance of Yao Yuanchong's slave, we can see that the saint's attitude towards him is also very entangled. Perhaps he has some appreciation, but more of it is still malicious.

"After all, I'm so fucking!"

It is certain that the saint likes Fengshan, but he should not be willing to start the discussion on this topic and do not want him to enjoy too much attention. Therefore, this time he was promoted to Guanglu Shaoqing, and he should not be overly optimistic. There may be some evil intentions hidden in it.

Unfortunately, Li Longji still did not have a thorough understanding of the people and affairs of the court. He did not know that another Guanglu Shaoqing in the court, Xu Junchen, was the cruel official who slandered the emperor's rebellion in his early years, which made their family panic all day long. He also became increasingly alienated from his younger brother Si Xiangwang Li Longye, and did not know that Si Xiangwang King General Di Guangyuan was in charge of the Criminal Department, so his perception and judgment of the current situation were not clear enough.

But although he was born with a noble family, he was worried and troubled in his childhood. He developed a meticulous and sensitive personality. He was able to infer reality through some of the information he perceived.

I was worried and insomnia all night. In the second half of the night, when I heard the low voice of the outdoor servant, he sat up from the couch.

A ball of lights turned from behind the screen, and the young and pretty thin man walked into the inner room with his hands holding the lamp. Seeing that the king had sat up, he hurried forward and said, "The king has woken up, so I will serve the king to change his clothes."

While speaking, Xiren put the lamp on the window table, bent down and went into front to clean up the quilt. His fingers touched the sword buried in the brocade quilt, and his body stiffened. Li Longji patted Xiren's shoulders and whispered: "Tell Ah Zhong, don't come to see you at the front door soon, wait for my news."

After hearing this, the thin man nodded quickly and looked at the well-behaved and beautiful face. Li Longji felt a little hot under his belly. He hugged his slender waist and hugged the little lady in his arms: "Since Ah Ling has entered the residence, there is no need to use her strength. What I am greedy for is the tenderness of the wife's heart, and the idle work makes others busy."

The little lady was held in her arms, her breath was slightly scattered. She stared at the king's face for a moment with her bright eyes, then turned her head shyly, and whispered: "I am a girl from the neighborhood, but fortunately Sanlang is favored by Sanlang. The pony grass can be entangled with Lanzhi, afraid that she has exhausted her life's luck... I just want Sanlang to live more comfortably, and dare not scatter and lose her blessings."

Hearing the little lady's heartfelt love words, Li Longji felt pity in his heart. Looking at the plain and simple outfit, he sighed sadly: "The first love in the world is to share the joys and sorrows. My wife is with me in times of danger. I will share the wealth and honors of the next year. I will not be worthy of my son!"

A pair of boys and girls snuggled up passionately, and there was no need for more passionate lingering, and the room was already infinitely warm.

He was about to enter the court later, and Li Longji did not continue to get along with the wife in the room. After washing and changing clothes, he hurried out.

At dawn, the city of Chang'an was still gray and the light was limited, and the court officials separated in the yards also left home one after another to Da Nei. When the King of Linzi and his party turned into the long street in front of Danfeng Gate, they had already seen many courtiers on the street, and there were also well-informed courtiers entering the front to congratulate. Li Longji responded with a smile and nodding.

When he dismounted outside Danfeng Gate, the ministers entered the palace along the Imperial Bridge. There was no need for a clear train at the moment. Thinking of the distressed thoughts at night, Li Longji deliberately crossed a few people and approached Yao Yuanchong in front of the team.

Yao Yuanchong did not pay too much attention to the King of Linzi, but just approached Yang Zaisi, the servant general. The two prime ministers walked side by side, not knowing what they were talking about. After seeing this, the other officials slowed down and opened a few distances.

After a little test, Li Longji did not continue to test, but instead walked between the group of people, including Li Shouli, the King of Qi, and walked forward in a low voice.

There was no major issue in the morning court today, mainly about the reorganization of households in various states, and the Prime Minister Ge Fuyuan was responsible for reporting. It was undoubtedly a major project to search and expand the people in the world to organize households. The various states were carried out in turn, and it has been underway since the early Kaiyuan year, and now it has only been mostly carried out and is about to be completed.

The results of household registration are very gratifying. In addition to the unfinished Longyou Road, Shannan Road and Lingnan Road, the number of residents controlled by the imperial court has reached 6.8 million, which is nearly double the number of households in the Yonghui period!

The main regaining of the Longyou Road prefectures and the establishment of Shunzhou have brought about new changes in the registered households. Shannan Road and Lingnan Road have long distances and vast jurisdictions, so the statistics process is relatively slow. According to Ge Fuyuan's estimate, if the entire household registration process is completed, the total number of registered households in the Tang Dynasty should be able to reach 7.3 million.

Such an amazing increase is naturally gratifying. The number of citizens is the most direct reflection of the increase in national strength. After all, only residents are effective taxpayers.

At the same time, it also directly reflects the court's control over the world's politics. Sometimes due to the chaos of order and the stupidity of the administration, there are a large number of hidden households and dead households. This part of the population is not controlled by the government, which not only drags down the growth of national strength, but also a hidden danger in a local area.

Therefore, the atmosphere of the court meeting today is quite gratifying. Both the saints and the ministers who stood in the court all had smiles on their faces.

Li Longji was also quite happy when he heard the changes in the information of these households. As the King of the Tang Dynasty, he felt a sense of pride when he saw the country prosper.

But when he saw the respectful attitude of the ministers in the hall, including the prime ministers, towards the saints, he couldn't help but feel a very complicated feeling in his heart.

Originally, his father was sitting in that position, enjoying the congratulations of his ministers. Now, in addition to his sadness, he also felt an indescribable irritability.

When he was in Shendu in the old year, he was still very young and rarely participated in court meetings. What impressed him most in my memory was that after Aye retired from the court and returned to the palace, he often looked worried and irritable, either sighing that politics was unrest, and had many internal and external ills, or he was angry about ministers being disrespectful and eager to take power, which made the court full of chaos.

At that time, Li Longji did not have much concept of family, country and world, and did not have a deep understanding of the world, so he did not know how to comfort and help Aye. But the impression left at that time brought him the understanding that the country was difficult, the country was turbulent, and the entire Tang Dynasty was in a state of storm and dire straits.

Later, King Luling fled to the capital, causing a series of turmoil and shocking changes, which further aggravated Li Longji's impression. His young heart even began to fear in his heart if the Tang Dynasty really destroyed the country, how would the Li Tang royal family members end up miserably?

However, after the mourning ended and returned to the capital, all the things he saw were contrary to his inherent impression. Seeing that the people in Chang'an were orderly and the city atmosphere was prosperous, it was completely different from what he knew.

Now, if you have the opportunity to stand in the court, what you see is definitely not a scene of political chaos, a rebellious subordinates, and a rebellious imperial power.

Now Li Longji is getting deeper into the world and has his own ability to judge. Although he is emotionally unacceptable, the facts tell him that the difference between what he knew in his early years and the current world may be the reason why the saints are doing better than his deceased father, and they are far better!

In terms of emotions, Li Longji rejects this understanding and judgment. In terms of emotions, he does not have much jealousy or disgust towards today's saints, and even has a full worship of his wives.

In his early years, due to family education and his shallow understanding of the saints, he felt disgusted and contemptuous of the saints. He only felt that the saint was clever and charming, and was very weak, and was completely unworthy of the various praises Shi Liu gave him.

But now when he has fallen into a similar situation in the saint, he can gradually empathize and realize that the saints' various feelings were unscrupulous, and everything they enjoy today is completely matched with the hard work of previous years.

Sometimes Li Longji even had an illusion that he only felt that the life of a saint was everything he should experience, and he endured humiliation and burdened, and he also overcome difficulties, saved the ancestral temple from the fall, saved the people from the water and fire, received orders from danger, and determined to revive!

Such a grandeur is a man’s life! A real man should eat his own food, hold the talisman and the constitution, and be honored in the universe!

Everything that the saint struggled and enjoyed could be said to have completely satisfied all Li Longji's fantasies, and some places were even more fulfilling than what he imagined.

But unfortunately, none of this belongs to him...

The high singing voice of the ritual officer declared the end of the morning court and also interrupted Li Longji's reverie.

He quickly calmed down and bowed with his ministers to retreat. The figure of the saint disappeared from the corner of the hall under the guards' eunuchs guards. In the dark, he seemed to feel an invisible aura being pulled away from his body, and his mood became lost.

After resigning from the court, more officials gathered to congratulate him. Li Longji quickly cheered up and responded one by one. Then, under the guidance of an official from the Ministry of Personnel, he went to the Political Affairs Hall to receive the book.

Compared with the congratulations of the court officials when they retired, the officials of the Political Affairs Hall reacted more coldly, and only regarded this as an ordinary official business. After the book was issued, they all dispersed to work on other matters.

As for the prime ministers who Li Longji paid more attention to and were looking forward to, he did not show up from beginning to end, and disappeared after entering the Political Affairs Hall.
