Chapter 411 Power
In the palace where Concubine Li was, Li Jia couldn't wait to walk in, picked up the baby from the arms of a palace woman, and smiled and came over to look carefully.
The nose is the nose, and the eyes are the eyes. It is different from the ugly appearance I was born at the beginning, and it is more round and cute.
Li Jia liked the child very much, and his eyes were very bright. He didn't know how to tease the child very much, but he often came to see him and occasionally teased him.
Hou Liniang smiled and looked at the funny joke between the father and son, saying, "Brother Xin is already full of a month, otherwise Your Majesty will give him a name!"
Li Jia looked at Hou Liniang, whose breasts were bigger and swelling, and said, "My brother is still young and does not need a big name. It is easy to support a nickname."
At this time, with a "Wow...", Brother Xin in Li Jia's arms did not give his father a face and started crying.
Hou Liniang, who was standing beside her, looked at her with a feeling of distress, saw this, and took a look at her. The emperor was ignored and said to the palace maid: "Brother Xin is hungry and wants to eat breastfeed. Go and call the nurse over."
The palace maids went there soon, and Xin Ge'er, Li Jia's eldest prince, attracted everyone's attention, and the emperor inexplicably felt the feeling of neglect.
After a while, a woman who was no less than Hou Liniang walked into the bedroom. She hurriedly bowed to Li Jia and others, then quickly took the child over, and then turned around and untied her clothes on the spot.
Li Jia naturally had to avoid it, and then took advantage of this skill to leave the palace.
The emperor, who had been self-centered for a long time, was unhappy, but he did not put it on his face. He would not be jealous of his son, but he did feel angry.
Soon, the emperor lost interest in looking at his son, and the remaining two must have been the same. He went directly to the Lizheng Hall to see the queen.
There is a gauze curtain hanging in the Lizheng Hall. The gauze curtain is brighter inside than outside, because there is a row of carved wooden windows to the west of the inside. At this afternoon, the sun shines just in the palace.
Outside the curtain, there were many beautiful women standing, all wearing round necklines and purple clothes, wearing blond heads, dressed a bit like a man. Some of the habits of the Tang Dynasty were still retained in the palace, so it was passed down. It is said that women in the Tang Dynasty liked to wear men's clothing, such as Shangguan Wan'er...
The curtain was indeed very quiet. The old red paint and purple silk fabrics on the wood made the interior look a bit old. When the sun shines in, the temperature is just right.
Since she was pregnant, Zhou Ying'er was no different from usual. She still managed the harem and also stayed in the palace while leisurely, enjoying the beauty of books and reading with relish. This is the best time for a home girl.
No one came to disturb her except the emperor.
She lay in a graceful figure on the bamboo chair, covered with a soft and light silk robe, her belly raised slightly, and she looked at the book lazily, as if it was condensed into one with the sun, so peaceful and beautiful.
Li Jia stopped the courtesan's salute and admired the queen's beauty in this way. This scene that exudes the tenderness of the young woman is very rare.
"Your Majesty--" After a while, Zhou Yinger finally noticed a figure approaching and couldn't help but say in a soft voice: "It's quiet, it's really scary!"
"Since your Majesty is here, why don't you call me!"
"How long has it been since the queen's attitude been seen? Before I knew it, I was fascinated!" Li Jia said softly, making the queen's cheeks turn red, and she felt embarrassed.
The emperor found a stool, and sat next to the queen like an ordinary husband, touched her raised belly, and couldn't help but smile:
"Only by working hard can you get a little reward. This little guy is rare!"
"If I hadn't had the children given to me by Your Majesty, I wouldn't have felt the feeling of being a mother. Only then did I realize that my parents' kindness was as heavy as a mountain!" Zhou Ying'er said.
After hearing this, Li Jia smiled in her heart. It must be that the queen missed her relatives, but she was pregnant and felt sad and kind.
"In this way, let your father-in-law and mother-in-law enter the palace tomorrow! I haven't seen them for a few days, and it will also relieve our queen's lovesickness!"
"Your Majesty—" the queen said, sweet and irritating.
"Why didn't you see Bao'er?" Li Jia asked casually.
"Sister Baoer is a little tired today, so she didn't come to accompany me!"
"Have you sent an imperial doctor?"
"It has been sent, and there will be news soon!"
Li Jia thought about it and found that it was probably pregnant again. He had been having a lot of children for a while, and he didn't know whether it was a good or a bad thing.
However, in this era of extremely high premature death rate, it is also good to have more children.
Thinking of the issue of offspring, Li Jia also remembered the climate in Lingnan. It was hot and humid, which was extremely unfavorable for babies. Even for the sake of the healthy growth of the children, they had to build the Central Plains and occupy this colorful world.
With the completion of the new version of the book, the summer tax will be collected according to the new version of the book. For the court, the summer collection this year was at least 20%, and the national treasury suddenly became more relaxed, which made the new officials of the Ministry of Revenue breathe a sigh of relief.
The hall of the Political Affairs Hall is filled with files and documents, and hundreds of officials are busy inside, like a machine full of power, or like a huge heart, with countless government orders radiating from this heart to all parts of the country. Although the Tang Dynasty inherited the three provinces and six ministries system of the former Tang Dynasty in its system, the power center except military is here.
The Political Affairs Hall has always been the center of power, and no one can doubt it. This is the center of the capital of the Tang Dynasty. In this small study, the lighting is very good and the room is clear.
Several husbands reported the details of summer tax collection one by one, and did not dare to violate it at all.
Of course, compared with Zhao Kuangyin, Li Jia did not torture these prime ministers and moved away the chairs, but maintained the prime minister's decency and let them sit and report, which was quite equal.
The emperor was behind a thin screen, so no one was making noise. It was very quiet, and the "rustling" sounds on the paper could be heard occasionally.
The prime ministers are now a little afraid of the emperor, and they have carefully grasped the words they speak. Only the daily life is constantly writing, the air is filled with the fragrance of ink, and the breeze blows in from time to time.
On the side, several promoted Zhongshu Sheshou stood aside, listening carefully to the voices of the prime ministers, and the feeling in their hearts was hard to express.
Is this training? Or is the emperor planning other things?
People's hearts are in chaos.
This small imperial study room is the most powerful place and the place where various rules are formulated.
In this circle, you can not only interfere in many things through your colleagues, but also participate in major events involving hundreds of millions of people... The power is so great that it can affect the fate of countless people.
