Hearing that Li Chongjiu was going to set up a river road platform, Wen Yanbo said: "Your Majesty set up a river road platform and mobilized so many civil servants. I don't know where the money comes from. You must know that this year, the treasury has been wiped out."

Li Chongjiu said: "This time when Luoyang was captured, there are many gains in the treasury. You can count this and use it as the national treasury."

Wen Yanbo nodded and said, "But together with the river engineering matter, we have no spare energy to send troops to fight. At present, Li Tang is preparing for troops in Sichuan and Shu, and he is ready to advance to Xiao Xian at any time, so it will be difficult for us to help Liang State."

Li Chongjiu didn't say anything, Wen Yanbo stepped forward and said, "The Liang Kingdom is too far away from us, and our army is beyond the reach. Why not let Xiao Xian handle himself? Our army should do its best to collect Shandong."

Li Chongjiu said: "If Li Tang defeated Liang, he would go straight to Jiangnan and be in a state of power. In my opinion, even if Xiao Xian was defeated, he would waste the energy of the Tang army with Li Tang for a long time. As long as Jiangling is not lost, the Tang army will not go to Jiangnan."

"Then your majesty, we are not strong enough now."

Li Chongjiu said: "I have my own opinions on this matter, so you don't have to worry about it for the time being."

At this time, the eunuch said, "Your Majesty, Li Tang sent a gift to His Majesty Qinghe ascended the throne."

Li Chongjiu was slightly surprised when he heard this. Wen Yanbo said, "Li Yuan has such a kind heart, I'm afraid he must be..."

Li Chongjiu said: "Li Yuan ascended the throne and became emperor, and he still has a decent attitude when dealing with things. Let Li Tang's envoy wait for me in the side hall."

Li Chongjiu immediately went to the side hall, but saw a man wearing Li Tang official uniform standing upright in the hall.

Li Chongjiu was slightly surprised when he saw the other party.

The other party turned around when he heard the foot sound, bowed to Li Chongjiu and said, "Your Majesty, I haven't seen you for many years, are you safe?"

"Irregular!" The guards next to the hall were angry when they saw that the other party did not kneel.

Li Chongji waved his hand and smiled, "It's okay. This Duke Liu Hongji and Liu Guoguo are my old friends."

Liu Hongji bowed deeply again and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

"Sit down!"

Li Chongji and Liu Hongji each sat in. Liu Hongji said, "The incident of fighting into the 200,000 Turkic army with Your Majesty is still in front of Hongji. Ten years have passed, and it really makes Liu look at you with admiration."

Li Chongji said: "Isn't the same with Hongji? A real man Jianye. Ten years is enough. I remember that outside Yanmen Pass, the King of Qin once said that it would be enough to pacify the world in ten years, give birth to the people in ten years, and give birth to the world in ten years. This is still true. But ten years have passed, and the world is still not determined, and the heroes are in the separatist position. By the way, is the King of Qin okay?"

Liu Hongji asked back, "His Majesty King Zhao, do you hope King Qin will be fine now?"

Liu Hongji heard Li Chongji mention that Li Shimin was full of excitement. Li Shimin removed his military power today. It was not Li Chongji who secretly used the means. Now he is still pretending to ask about Li Shimin's recent situation.

Li Chongjiu smiled and said, "The King of Qin is my most feared opponent, and it is better than the Emperor of Li Tang. Tell Li Yuan that if Li Shimin does not come out, my iron cavalry will be just around the corner."

When Liu Hongji saw Li Chongji say this, his face slightly changed. He wanted to refute the next sentence. But Li Chongji does have the capital and strength. But what does the previous sentence mean? Since Li Chongjiu is so afraid of Li Shimin, why should he tell him and tell Li Yuan again?

Liu Hongji smiled and said, "Your Majesty seems to be very ambitious, but he underestimated me that there is no one in the Tang Dynasty."

Li Chongjiu smiled and said, "At least I can still like you, Brother Liu, but I don't even care about Yu Zi in my eyes."

Liu Hongji was slightly angry, but he did not dare to offend him. He just smiled slightly and said, "Your Majesty the King of Zhao's words. Liu must tell His Majesty and His Highness Qin."

Liu Hongji said to Li Chongji: "My lord has brought the gift of congratulations to His Majesty King Zhao ascended the throne, and there are ten servants. This is a gift list for your Majesty to check it out."

Li Chongjiu looked at Li Yuan’s gift list and thought to himself: “Lord Tang is intent.”

When Liu Hongji saw Li Chongji's gift list, he immediately said back. Li Chongji combined the gift list and asked the nearby servants, "Is Concubine Li in the palace?"

The closest servant said, "Yes, Your Majesty, the imperial concubine must have taken the medicine at this time and is sleeping peacefully."

Li Chongjiu knew that Li Zhiwan had not been well after being injured in Puji Temple that day, and the imperial doctor was recuperating her. Li Chongjiu said: "Send the gift list to Concubine Li, and tell her that I will have dinner with her after handling the affairs of the government."

"promise."

In the harem.

Li Zhiwan woke up from her deep sleep, and the maid on the side immediately stepped forward to serve.

A lovely maid said, "Empress, you have been getting better after taking these medicines. It seems that the imperial doctor is really effective."

Li Zhiwan said: "This medicine is good, but it is easy to get sleepy if you take it. If you have a familiar doctor in Chang'an, I don't need to take this medicine and I'm not energetic all day."

The maid smiled and said, "Empress, you are from Chang'an. Do you think Chang'an is better or Luoyang is better?"

Li Zhiwan looked at the maid and asked, "You said, after getting married, will your parents' family be better? Or will your husband's family be better?"

The maid lowered her head and smiled, "I don't know this, but after I entered the palace, I haven't returned to my parents' home for five years. I wonder what happened to my parents?"

Li Zhiwan nodded and said, "Yes."

Speaking of this, the palace maid on the side came in and bowed to Li Zhiwan and said, "I'm sorry, Your Majesty ordered someone to send something. I heard that it was from Li Tang. This is a gift list."

Li Zhiwan took the gift list, looked at it, and said with a slight expression: "Put all the gifts into the hall."

"yes."

Li Zhiwan stood up and then kept moving the items into the hall outside, and soon they were filled.

Li Zhiwan walked to the dressing table with a bronze mirror and opened a wooden box. There was a golden hairpin engraved with a phoenix. Seeing this golden hairpin, Li Zhiwan couldn't help but burst into tears.

"Empress."

Li Zhiwan bit her lips and stopped crying and said, "I'm fine. Are there ten servants? Let them come in together."

"Miss!"

"Jianxue, it's really you."

But when Jianxue ran over and leaned on Li Zhiwan, she burst into tears.

"Miss, when I heard about you that day, Jianxue almost thought you were not here. Fortunately, Jianxue was smart and thought to herself that Miss. What a person, all the troops came over, and Wang Shichong's Western Dog also hurt you. Miss, you don't care about Jianxue and don't give me any news. You don't know how I have been through these few days, do you know? There are rumors in Chang'an that you were killed by the King of Qin. I didn't believe it, but I thought I would always avenge you. And Miss, you really have to marry that little thief, I still want to..."

Jian Xue was excited and spoke in a mess.

When Li Zhiwan heard Jianxue say this, she couldn't help but burst into tears and said, "Jianxue, speak well for me."

Jianxue nodded and looked at Li Zhiwan. The tears that were originally holding back suddenly shed again.

At this time, Jian Xue suddenly knelt down and said, "Miss, I'm sorry for you in one thing!"
