973 Bewitching the Emperor

The historical butterfly effect is out.

Tubo, which threatened to destroy the Tang Dynasty, was lost in the long river of history early;

Gunpowder, trains, and cement came out ahead of schedule;

Concubine Wu Hui was just ashamed after the Sanshuren incident, she didn't scare herself to death, and now she is still radiant;

Shouwang Li Mao has not yet met Yang Yuhuan, and he is still single, Concubine Wu Hui has the heart to push him to the position of the prince and then take a concubine, and King Shou, who ascends to the throne of the prince, can marry a woman with a higher family, and the position of the prince will be more solid at that time;

The trajectory of history has shifted, and the changes brought about by the butterfly effect, Zheng Peng doesn't know whether it is good or bad, however, Zheng Peng's heart has no regrets, because the world has changed because of Zheng Peng's arrival, and good changes have become a part of history, which is a moment worth remembering.

Zheng Peng firmly believes that these changes will add a splendid stroke to the prosperous Tang Dynasty.

"Zheng Aiqing, why don't you speak, is it wrong for me to do this?" Li Longji saw that Zheng Peng was silent, and couldn't help but ask.

Most of the ministers in the DPRK and the Central Committee have taken sides, and different sides have different positions, otherwise they are submissive, Li Longji attaches great importance to Zheng Peng, who is not keen on officialdom, and a person who is not keen on officialdom speaks more pertinently, which is the reason why Li Longji deliberately mentioned this matter to Zheng Peng.

Zheng Peng thought for a while and quickly said: "Your Majesty, Weichen has something that I don't know whether to say or not. ”

"Aiqing has something to say, but it doesn't hurt to say it, no matter what you say, I will forgive you for your innocence." Li Longji made a statement on the spot.

"Your Majesty, it is good to have an amnesty for the world, but there is a lack of fairness in it, especially for the families of those victims, and Weichen thinks that it is more meaningful to replace amnesty with punishment."

Li Longji said with some hesitation: "Aiqing, tell me, how is it meaningful." ”

"It's too cheap to pardon them in this way, it's better to replace the crime with work, for example, the emperor will draw a road for them to repair, as long as the road is repaired for a long time, the crime can be mitigated or released, if you can build a project like the Great Wall, Qin Zhidao or the Grand Canal, which will benefit the present and future generations, it will definitely add a strong stroke to the emperor's merit book." Zheng Peng said bewildermently.

It is easy to fight the country, it is difficult to defend the country, Li Longji is from the hard days, after taking the position, he took over the virtuous people, and created the prosperous era of the Kaiyuan Dynasty, however, more than 20 years later, Li Longji not only shows his old state, his heart and momentum are slowly consumed by time, and now Li Longji has been immersed in the great achievements he has made, and he is less and less concerned about state affairs, but more and more attention is paid to eating, drinking and having fun, in his heart, his wishes have almost been achieved, and it is time to enjoy the glory and wealth of the world.

It is not terrible for a person to have no money and be in a difficult situation, as long as he works hard, he will not get worse, but if a person has no faith and pursuit, his life is likely to collapse, Zheng Peng is to let Li Longji not be satisfied with his achievements, but to focus on managing Datang.

Li Longji's ascension to the throne shows that he is a very shrewd person, and the prosperity of the Kaiyuan Dynasty is enough to prove his ability, however, Li Longji destroyed the Tang Dynasty founded by himself in the second half of his life, and let the Tang Dynasty turn from prosperity to decline, not that Li Longji is old and his brain is not bright, but that his mind is focused on eating, drinking, and having fun, overestimating his own control and underestimating the ambition of his courtiers, Zheng Peng feels that it is very likely that Li Longji's temperament changed greatly after the death of Concubine Wu Hui.

There are more and more signs that Li Longji's hedonism is on the rise, and Zheng Peng decides to "bewitch" him and let him set a new goal.

"A heavy stroke?" Li Longji's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he said thoughtfully: "This thing sounds a bit interesting, but it takes a lot of money to build such a big project. ”

Seeing that Li Longji had signs of motivation, Zheng Peng immediately added more fire and continued to persuade: "Your Majesty, history is recorded by people, whether it is black or white, whether it is merit or demerit, it is all in the difference between the pen officials' thoughts, however, no matter how the pen officials change, like the projects that benefit the country and the people, and the benefits of the future, they can't rewrite or erase them, like Qin Zhidao, the Great Wall, and the Grand CanalIf the emperor just lets the prisoners build roads, no one can pick out the thorns, and it is also a good thing for the prisoners, giving them a chance to reform and atone for themselves. ”

"It makes sense, Zheng Aiqing is really talented, but the stakes are very high, and I have to think about it carefully."

Zheng Peng didn't think that Li Longji would agree to such a big thing immediately, and when he heard this, he smiled and stopped talking.

"Your Majesty, Champion Hou, what are you talking about, I saw from afar that you were chatting very well." At this time, Concubine Wu Hui floated over and asked with interest.

Before Zheng Peng could speak, Li Longji roughly told Concubine Wu Hui what he had just discussed, and he was sincere to Concubine Wu Hui.

Concubine Wu Hui's eyes lit up, and she quickly said with a look of convincing: "It's still the champion who thinks thoughtfully, and he really deserves to be a famous wise man in the Tang Dynasty." ”

Even if Zheng Peng is not on his side, the relationship still has to be good, for Concubine Wu Hui, a person with huge influence like Zheng Peng, as long as he does not stand on the opposite side of himself, is worth fighting for.

"Niangniang's reputation" Zheng Peng said modestly: "Weichen still has a lot to learn from Niangniang, like Niangniang's kindness, even the emperor is full of praise." ”

Concubine Wu Hui's eyes flashed a trace of discomfort, but she didn't show it, and said with a smile on her pretty face: "The emperor is the one who really cares about the world, and the concubines dare not be ashamed." ”

Li Longji chatted with Concubine Wu Hui and Zheng Peng for a while, and then they both got into the carriage and left, this time it was a micro-service patrol, not many people knew about it, and they needed to go back to the palace as soon as possible, and they would go to court tomorrow.

Finally waited for the two of them to leave, not only Zheng Peng breathed a sigh of relief, but people like Lu Ping, Zhuang San and others were also obviously much more relaxed.

"Uncle, Cardinal has a question, I don't know if I should ask it?" The cardinal, who waited for Li Longji to leave, asked with some hesitation.

"If you have anything to say, you don't have to be polite." Zheng Peng said generously.

The cardinal looked left and right to confirm that there was no one, and then asked in a low voice: "As soon as the emperor and Concubine Hui came, my uncle asked the slave family to hide, and he had to hide far away, is it that the slave family's foundation is not clean, and it is on the list of a certain general series, and the emperor can't see it?" ”

The emperor and the mother came in person, which was a great joy, but Zheng Peng never let the cardinal appear in front of Li Longji, which made the cardinal a little puzzled.

When he was still with Cui Yuan, Cardinal was Cui Yuan's secret weapon and the first killer, and he had performed many tasks to clear targets, for Cardinal, there was no right or wrong task, only to complete and not to complete, as long as he took out the task, he would go all out, for fear of becoming a scapegoat because of the task.

Zheng Peng didn't expect the cardinal to ask this question, so he paused for a moment, and quickly said with a haha: "You have a killing aura on your body, the masters around the emperor are like clouds, it is not good to accidentally arouse their hostility, and besides, the emperor is a golden body, ordinary people are not allowed to approach at all, avoid it, and let them drive them away." ”

There are many amorous genes of the Li clan in the Tang Dynasty, and there have been a lot of absurd amorous accounts since Li Yuan's time, Gaozong got involved with his father's woman, even Li Longji is not a fuel-efficient lamp, and in the case of three thousand beauties in the harem, he is still hunting for beauty, even if the "daughter-in-law" refuses to let go, Zheng Peng is really worried that the cardinal will make Li Longji take a fancy to it and become another plaything in his hands.

Of course, you can't tell Cardinals about that.

The cardinal said thoughtfully: "That's the reason, but the cardinal is suspicious." ”

People who practice martial arts, their spirit and spirit are different from ordinary people, people like cardinals, who have a lot of lives in their hands, even if they are standing, they also faintly exude a killing aura, Li Longji is the emperor, and the masters around him are like clouds, if such a master thinks that it is going to be unfavorable to Li Longji, then he can't tell clearly.

"It's nothing, I didn't explain it clearly." Zheng Peng breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that you don't think I'm in the way of your wealth.

As soon as the two finished speaking, there was a sudden sound of hurried horses' hooves, and faintly heard the voice of someone calling "young master", Zheng Peng turned his head to look, and saw An Lushan riding a high-headed horse galloping towards him..... Spicy eyes.
