Night.
Li Er walked out of the Hall of Political Affairs in low spirits.
It was rare for him to settle things early today. He thought about how he hadn't come to see the Guanyin maid for a long time, so he prepared to have a good time.
But who knew that this Guanyin maid was actually not feeling well and refused to let him sleep.
This made him a little unhappy, but there was nothing he could do. In the end, he could only walk towards the Dew Palace in disappointment, preparing to continue reading the memorials and handling government affairs.
Set up a government hall.
At this moment, the Guanyin maid had a guilty look on her face. After confirming that Li Er had left, she dared to get off the bed.
Ever since she returned to the palace, she had a lot on her mind. It was difficult for her to focus on anything she did. Her mind was filled with what happened with Lin Xuan during the day.
If he let Li Er in, wouldn't it be over if he was discovered that something was wrong?
At the same time, she kept reminding herself not to go to Purple Bamboo Court again for the time being. Otherwise, she was really afraid that she would accidentally fall into it.
No wonder Zhao Ji of the Qin Dynasty was so addicted to poison. Now, she understood.
In the next few days.
Zhangsun Wugou obediently stayed in the palace, dealing with the trivial matters of the three palaces and six courtyards.
Li Er also worked hard to make the country prosperous and continued to implement policies to support merchants. After so long, there were some results.
At first, it was a little difficult, and there was resistance everywhere, but now it was calm. The economy of all places was recovering, and the tax revenue from the national treasury was endless.
The drought in Hedong Road was also coming to an end. All parts of the country were mobilizing granaries to provide relief.
During every morning court session, many of the civil and military officials were less opposed to the policy of supporting merchants, which made Li Er very happy.
"Your Majesty is wise!"
For a moment, all the officials in the court praised him sincerely.
They could all feel the effects of the policy of supporting merchants. It was indeed miraculous and useful.
Commerce drove the development of agriculture, and the lives of the people became happier and healthier.
Only the iron-headed Wei Zheng had a bitter expression on his face and his head was lowered, causing the people around him to laugh secretly.
Wei Zheng was straightforward and had a bad temper. He was even more stubborn than Du Ruhui. He would advise on anything that he felt was wrong. The more others did not dare to do it, the more he would do it.
Every time, Li Er would have a headache. After all, Wei Zheng's advice was not tactful at all. Sometimes, he did not even give him face, making him very embarrassed.
However, he could only humbly accept advice. Now, it was fine.
Finally, it was the iron skull's turn to suffer. Li Er felt excited when he saw his bitter face.
......
Purple Bamboo Court, a room on the second floor.
Lin Xuan was a little absent-minded these few days. After all, that young woman had not come to look for him for a long time.
This made him a little suspicious. Could it be that he had failed to win the favor of the rich woman?
However, this shouldn't be the case. The two of them had been so intimate during the incident in the forest. Moreover, he was certain that the young woman had fallen for him. He shouldn't have failed.
Could it be that her husband had found out?
Lin Xuan quickly denied this thought. After all, that young woman was a high-ranking official and noble. If she was discovered, could he still live well?
For a moment, he couldn't figure it out.
Clang!
At this moment, the carriage door was slowly pushed open.
"Old Xuan, how long has it been? Did you miss me?”
Before the two of them entered, a silly laugh sounded, followed by Old Sun.
"Old Li, don't spout nonsense. I'm a normal person. I only want beautiful women.”
Lin Xuan did not know whether to laugh or cry when he heard this. He immediately said seriously with a straight face, but needless to say, he had not seen Old Li and Old Li for a long time.
Then, the three of them sat cross-legged around the table.
"Old Li, stop smiling foolishly. Tell me, why did you come to look for me this time?”
Lin Xuan said disdainfully as he made tea. After so long, the two of them had almost become friends regardless of age, so they often joked.
Although Li Er was a little depressed, he could only endure it.
Only Old Sun looked up in melancholy. Although he was already used to it, he still felt terrified every time he heard it.
After all, this was the current Emperor!
You're the only one who doesn't know and dares to speak casually. Otherwise, if it were anyone else, they would have long been dragged out and hanged.
"As usual, I'm here to thank you on behalf of my distant cousin.”
Li Er replied. Old Sun immediately took out a string of money and handed it over.
Lin Xuan did not stand on ceremony with this. Moreover, his suggestion was enough to benefit Old Li's distant cousin greatly. He had probably been promoted consecutively, right?
"Right, Old Xuan, do you think that the Great Tang is on the right track and is beginning to prosper?”
"Whether it is the economy, politics, or military talent, they are all blooming everywhere. I have to say that the current Emperor is wise!”
Li Er continued, not forgetting to praise himself at the end.
Old Sun also looked at Lin Xuan. He also felt that after a series of reforms, the Great Tang was already much stronger than before.
"Hehe, you're still far from it!"
"Let's not talk about anything else.”
"But go and ask him how many of the talents he recruits are from the outside world. Weren't they all from the Five Surnames and Seven Wangs?”
However, in the end, Li Er and Old Sun were splashed with cold water by Lin Xuan.
