The word "side by side" king of the Tang Dynasty

Chui Gong Hall.

During this period of time, Li Changqing spent almost all of his time in the Chuigong Palace. Not only did he need to expand the Grand Canal and build a light rail, he also needed to solve the problem of slave resettlement in conquered countries.

Sending slave labor to the Tang Dynasty can only solve part of the problem, and it is far from enough to match the huge slave base in these countries.

Therefore, Li Changqing plans to develop the mineral resources in these countries, reclaim wasteland and explore fertile fields, which can also solve many labor problems.

Li Changqing concentrated on dealing with political affairs, while Wu Meiniang on the side helped him grind ink and serve tea without saying a word. Only when Li Changqing encountered a problem and his thoughts were blocked, she would discuss it with him.

Li Xiuning no longer manages government affairs because she takes care of her children, so these burdens fall on Li Changqing alone.

Wu Meiniang came to Chui Gong Hall many times to help Li Changqing solve his problems. At first Li Changqing said a few words, but after a few times, he acquiesced to her behavior.

Because he saw the shadow of Changsun Wugou in her body, and Wu Meiniang was by his side, which made him feel as if Changsun Wugou had not left, and was still by his side as before.

Things have been heavy recently, and two ministers, Fang Xuanling and Wei Zheng, are also helping with government affairs in Chui Gong Hall.

Unknowingly, it was noon. Wu Meiniang put down the inkstone in her hand and said softly to Li Changqing:"Your Majesty, please go and ask the imperial kitchen to make some lunch."

These days, Li Changqing basically eats They were all in Chui Gong Hall, dining with Wei Zheng and Fang Xuanling.

Li Changqing shook his head and said:"No need, I don't have much appetite today, you can go down and rest."

Wu Meiniang didn't say much, nodded obediently, then bowed to Li Changqing and left Chui Gong Hall.

What she is best at is keeping things in proportion, and she never overdoes anything.

After Wu Meiniang left, Li Changqing put down the pen in his hand and smiled at Wei Zheng and Fang Xuanling:"You two should also have a rest. There are too many things in these two days, so I have no choice but to ask you two to come over and help."

Wei Zheng and Fang Xuanling Fang Xuanling quickly raised his hands and said,"Your Majesty said something serious. It is the duty of our ministers to share your Majesty's worries."

Li Changqing was a little helpless. Even if he asked Wei Zheng and Fang Xuanling to come over to help, it was still a bit difficult. It seemed that Du Ruhui had to be sent from Beijing. Transferred.

After asking Gao to serve tea, Li Changqing sat down with the two ministers to drink tea and chat. This was almost their only free time in Chuigong Hall.

"Your Majesty, I have the courage to ask Your Majesty something."

After chatting for a while, Wei Zheng suddenly spoke, with a look of hesitation on his face.

Li Changqing knew that he could not hide his thoughts, so he smiled and said:"Wei Qing said it directly, and there is no scruple in words and deeds in this Chui Gong Hall.

Hearing this, Wei Zheng took reassurance and said:"Your Majesty, Queen Changsun has been missing for several months now, and there is still no whereabouts. And then the queen's position has been vacant. This is very inappropriate.""

As soon as these words came out, the Chui Gong Hall suddenly became quiet. Fang Xuanling couldn't help but glance at Wei Zheng and felt a little sweat for him. What do you think you are doing by talking about such a sensitive topic? Did you make a special trip to cause displeasure to His Majesty? ?

Sure enough, after hearing this, the smile on Li Changqing's face disappeared, frowned and said:"I will find the queen on my own, and the queen's life and death are unknown, how can I let someone replace her as queen? What's more, I don't think anyone is more suitable for the post than Guanyin."

Wei Zheng was as stubborn as ever and continued:"I naturally hope that nothing will happen to the queen, but it is unwise to leave the queen vacant.

In the past few days, I have observed that the martial arts talents have behaved like the eldest grandson and queen. If Your Majesty……"

"Do you need to decide for me about the harem?"

Li Changqing's expression had completely turned cold. He placed the tea cup heavily on the table and looked at Wei Zheng coldly.

After hearing this, Fang Xuanling couldn't sit still. He quickly pulled Wei Zheng to his knees and said urgently:" Your Majesty, Mr. Wei was overworked and made a blunder. Please don't worry about it. Wei

Zheng also realized his mistake and said respectfully:"I have overstepped my bounds. Please forgive me!" Li

Changqing glanced at the two of them, the anger in his eyes gradually disappeared, and said calmly:"There is no need to talk about this matter anymore, I will make my own decision... Wei Zheng, please pay attention to your standards.""

Throwing these words, Li Changqing turned around and left Chui Gong Hall.

Fang Xuanling and Wei Zheng lay on the ground. They didn't dare to stand up until Li Changqing left. Their faces were already pale.

"Brother Wei, Brother Wei, how can we ministers get involved in the affairs of the harem? Why are you so confused!"

Fang Xuanling looked at Wei Zheng, his tone full of helplessness.

As a minister, you should have the rules of being a minister. You can speak out as much as you want on political matters, but the affairs of the harem are the emperor's family affairs, even though Wei Zheng did this out of consideration for the stability of the country. It was also very taboo.

Li Changqing did not take away Wei Zheng's official position on the spot and put him in jail. It can be said to be merciful.

Wei Zheng was also quite annoyed and said with some shame:"Thank you Brother Xuanling for your help. I will do more for you." Attention."

Fang Xuanling sighed. How can the importance of Queen Changsun in His Majesty's heart disappear in just a few months?

I'm afraid the queen position will remain vacant for quite some time.……

……

……

After Wu Meiniang returned to her palace, she rubbed her temples a little tiredly, and said to herself thoughtfully:"I have been going to Chui Gong Hall every day these days, and I should leave a good impression of virtuousness in the hearts of Your Majesty and the two important ministers. Impressed."

She wants to sit in the back seat, and this goal is not simple. Not only must she leave a good impression in front of Li Changqing, but her reputation among officials must also not be bad.

How can it be so easy to take the position after a country?

After resting for a while, a palace maid walked into the palace. Wu Meiniang frowned when she saw the palace maid and asked:"Sister, you still haven't accepted my apology?"

"Empress Xiuyi did not see the servant at all, saying that she wanted you to go in person."

The palace maid said with some embarrassment.

Wu Meiniang was silent for a moment, her brows stretched again, and she said calmly:"I understand, you can go down."
