Film and TV: Starting from the marriage with Zhao Linger

“What a magnificent city gate!”

The women stared in disbelief at the city within the city before them, especially the red city walls which were not only bright and eye-catching, but also magnificent and majestic.

Compared with the outer city wall, the imperial city wall is at least fifteen zhang high, and there are two twenty zhang city towers.

This kind of defense is absolutely a nightmare for the enemy.

Especially the guards on the city wall, all of them are masters of martial arts above the third rank. Among the 150,000 imperial guards, there are only more than 10,000 guards.

“This is the main gate, Chengtian Gate!

The east and west gates are Donghuamen and Xihuamen, which lead to the inner city where the royal family or officials live; behind it is Shenwumen, backed by Mangshan Mountain, which is the garrison of 150,000 imperial troops and also guards the three major blocks behind it.

Li Xuanhu, from now on you will serve as the third-rank Jinwu Guard General, commanding 12,000 Jinwu Guards and responsible for guarding Chengtian Gate, Xihua Gate, and Donghua Gate!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Li Xuanhu, who followed along, immediately knelt down to accept the order.

Li Xuanhu was naturally very happy to lead 12,000 Jinwu Guards and garrison the three gates.

In addition to guarding the three gates, the Jinwu Guards are also responsible for the security and patrols of the inner city, which makes them the most powerful among the real powers.

As for the Shenwu Gate behind?

Right outside the door is a training ground for 150,000 imperial soldiers. Who wouldn't be bored and want to go there?

Moreover, Yuwen Chengdu was the commander of 150,000 imperial troops and was very famous, no less powerful than the former King of Zhao Li Keyong.

"Go in first, I'll introduce you one by one!"

Everyone followed Li Shouxi into the palace gate.

First of all, there is the endless marble square, the ground is paved with marble tiles. Although it is not as smooth as a mirror, it is also a white ocean that is eye-catching.

“This is marble shipped from Southern Xinjiang. There are millions of pieces, and each piece is three feet square!

Especially the marble paved in the palace is the finest white marble, white as winter snow, delicate as jade, and hard in texture. If you like it, you can tell Shaoqing that this marble is not expensive. And at least millions of pieces of marble are shipped from southern Xinjiang every year.

The truly forbidden items are the purple gold bricks from the imperial kiln used to pave the main hall.”

"Really?"

Many female relatives' eyes lit up. Just by hearing Li Shouxi's description, they fell in love with this kind of floor tiles.

As white as winter snow and as delicate as jade, this is the perfect description of top-grade jade.

What's more, when using it for floor tiles, don't make it too luxurious.

Even though she knew that this was just ordinary marble, women's love for beautiful things never looked at the essence.

“On the east and west sides of the main hall are Longyuan Pavilion and Tiance Mansion;

Tiance Mansion established twelve Tiance Generals to command the military of the twelve continents of the Tang Dynasty. Usually, at least five generals are stationed in Tiance Mansion; Wenyuan Pavilion established a central cabinet to assist the emperor in handling government affairs. At this time, the cabinet members appointed by the emperor are Shen Luoyan and Li Bi, with the rank of fifth-rank chief secretary. After subsequent observation, the number of cabinet members will be increased to five. "

hiss!

Upon hearing this, everyone looked towards the east and west palaces with serious expressions.

Unexpectedly, the two palaces were so powerful that they were almost equivalent to two small courts, one in charge of military affairs and the other in charge of political affairs.

The most important thing is that Li Shouxi actually arranged a woman to serve as the chief secretary of the cabinet.

"Your Majesty, since ancient times, it has never been reasonable for a woman to be an official. If this gets out, it will surely cause an uproar among the officials!"

"Don't worry, uncle. The people of the Tang Dynasty are open-minded.

The cabinet is the center of power, but at the same time, the highest rank of cabinet members is no more than fifth rank, and the lowest can be as low as seventh rank, which will not cause too much turmoil.

After all, the highest rank of a female official in the inner court is the fourth rank."

It was only then that everyone noticed that Shen Luoyan and Li Bei were only of the fifth grade.

But the seventh-rank official in front of the prime minister, let alone the fifth-rank official in front of the emperor, I am afraid that even a third-rank official would not dare to offend him.

Entering the Fengtian Hall, this is where small meetings are held, basically once a day; the Daming Palace behind it is where the grand court meetings are held, once every ten days, and all civil and military officials above the seventh rank must come here.

After Li Shouxi's introduction, they immediately came to the back garden.

The Qianqing Palace and Kunning Palace are the resting places for the emperor and empress.

According to the hereditary system of the Prince of Yan's Mansion, Li Sili was the orthodox one and moved into the Kunning Palace; the heads of the six palaces on both sides were Shang Xiuxun and Wu Mei.

After all, all three of them are queens, so their ranks are important.

At least unless there is any major mistake, Li Shouxi cannot be dismissed at will.

However, the back garden was empty at this time. Not only were there no people in the houses, but even the concubines were gone.

Therefore, the first thing Concubine Shang thought of was to select beautiful girls.

This is also one of the means to win over many noble families and the royal family...

The big families don't need it, but the small families and daughters of officials are willing to send their daughters to the palace to fight for the opportunity to soar to the sky.

In particular, Li Shouxi's power and means made many aristocratic families see the shadow of a wise ruler and an emperor of all ages.

“Beyond the six palaces, there is the Crown Prince’s Eastern Palace and his mother’s Cining Palace.

However, I have no intention of appointing a crown prince at this time, so when the prince is thirteen years old, he will first go to the inner city outside Donghua Gate to open a residence, and the crown prince's East Palace will temporarily serve as a playground for all the little ones!"

When the women heard that Li Shouxi had no plan to appoint a crown prince, they also realized that it was not convenient to do so at this time.

Because they knew that all nine sons were born with innate Dao bodies, and their future achievements were limitless. After the crown prince was appointed, the battle for imperial power began.

Nine sons compete for the throne!

They don't think Li Shouxi is a short-lived person.

Therefore, there is no rush regarding the Crown Prince’s matter. At least these children may not survive Li Shouxi.

The crown prince was appointed early, but instead the brothers quarreled with each other!

As long as Li Shouxi is alive, who will be the crown prince is just a matter of Li Shouxi's words.

“The last part is the Imperial Garden, which is designed in the style of Jiangnan gardens.

There is a large sun room in the middle where you can grow your favorite flowers, plants and vegetables. There is even a children's playground, a real children's playground, an outdoor one."

Having said that, he let the women explore on their own.

Li Shouxi brought Song Que, Shang Shang and others to Wenyuan Pavilion.

This is the cabinet. Most of the affairs of Xindu are supervised here by 4.1. When Song Que came in, Li Bi was handling affairs.

Li Shouxi simply nodded and let him continue working.

Then he picked up the most recent financial statement and handed it to Song Que. This was confidence and capital.

During this period, the Prince of Yan's Mansion made great gains. In addition to the shopping on the first day, the wealthy businessmen who came in also went on a spending spree in the following days.

Inexpensive colored glass products, the world-famous Dongzhu, and various top-quality specialties from Liaodong

Especially the auctions in the near future will only become more intense.

These financial statements almost made Song Que think that an imperial chamber of commerce was enough to support the operation of the empire.

But this opportunity only comes once.

After all, the land in the imperial capital can only be sold once.

Chapter 382: The Empire's Twin Walls

The seventh floor of the Imperial Chamber of Commerce!

On the third day of the countdown to the ceremony, the Imperial Auction was held as scheduled, with thousands of items in total, and was held over three days.

Except for the salt permits, agency rights and secret recipes prepared by the empire, most of the goods were raised from the private sector.

With such a grand event and the empire's confidentiality measures, the people who hold the treasure will naturally not miss it.

After all, the reputation of Prince Yan's Mansion is among the best in Jiuzhou.

"Master Fusu, this is the Di-class box prepared for you."

At this time, an official from the Ministry of Rites led Fusu to the boxes in the middle.

As soon as it was opened, I saw that in addition to the luxurious and exquisite layout inside, the outermost part was actually a huge blue glazed wall, and I could clearly see the stage dozens of feet away.

"Sir, this is the bidding bell. Each ring represents a bid.

The lanterns on the side are called sky lanterns. Lighting a sky lantern means that no matter how much the bid is, the person lighting the lantern will win the deal at the highest price. We will also deal with unreasonable bids in a timely manner.

"profound?"

Fusu looked at the lantern curiously. He didn't expect that this auction had such rules.

Lighting sky lanterns, the name is quite famous.

"Then what's the matter with this blue glass?"

“This is a curtain wall. We can see outside from inside. Unless it is too dark outside and there is a light source inside, people outside cannot see inside normally.

As for the enlarged booth, the curtain wall is designed with curvature, just like the concave and convex mirror principle of the clairvoyance.

Therefore, we can clearly see the booths more than ten feet away from here."

Such a scene occurred not only in Fusu's Di box, but also in other boxes.

While being shocked by the high-tech of Prince Yan’s Mansion, one is also curious about what is being auctioned by Prince Yan’s Mansion this time.

Because on the table in the box were placed the picture albums and introductions of the items to be auctioned. Even Fusu was drinking tea while looking at the introduction of the items in his hand comfortably.

"Meng Tian, ​​this set of golden dragon armor is pretty good, do you want it?"

The Meng brothers were the two pillars of the Qin Empire. Meng Tian was the best among the military generals, and his strength was even greater than that of Zhang Han and Wang Li; Meng Yi was the Qin Emperor's eunuch, Li Si's successor, and also the two pillars of the Empire that Ying Zheng intended to leave to Fusu.

Therefore, when I saw a set of armor made of golden silk of the Golden Silk Python, my eyes lit up.

Leather is soft in nature, and the golden silk part of the golden dragon is invulnerable to swords and guns. It can also resist the attack of the inner energy, making it a top-level armor.

Yuwen Chengdu's golden armor was derived from this.

I didn’t expect that there would be such good stuff on the first day of the Empire Auction.

"The general will not dare!"

Meng Tian stepped back respectfully, indicating that he did not dare to accept it.

This is the Golden Thread Dragon Armor, the base price is at least tens of thousands of gold, not to mention that all the envoys from various countries are here this time, he dare not imagine how high the final price will be.

“The Golden Silk Dragon Armor is made from the soft golden silk scales of the Golden Silk Dragon on Dragon Burial Mountain.

Because it is permeated and tempered by dragon energy, the soft armor can not only resist swords and knives, but also resist the innate energy of the master level. It is more than ten times more precious than the soft armor woven with golden silk. What's more, it is a set of armor, which is worth 100,000 gold!"

After hearing Meng Tian's explanation, even Fusu was surprised.

The item originally cost ten thousand gold, but I didn't expect that it would cost one hundred thousand gold in the end.

As an expert, Fusu naturally believed in Meng Tian's judgment.

"It seems like we're going to win!"

Fusu smiled indifferently. It was originally just an insignificant soft armor, but such a good thing must not be sold to other places.

"Daddy, I want this thing!"

"I want this!"

At this time, in the private room, Li Shouxi brought the girls and a group of little ones to the middle box.

This is Li Shouxi's home court.

Therefore, on both sides are the two empires - the Great Qin and the Liyang Mission; the four best boxes on the left and right are the Grassland Royal Court, Northern Qi, Southern Qing, and Nanzhao; and the diagonal boxes on both sides are Daliang, Nanyue, Western Shu, Northern Yan, and Dayu, all of which are small in area, equivalent to a state of the Tang Dynasty.

However, Li Shouxi brought too many female relatives with him, so he did not say hello.

He doesn't want to be known as a playboy.

Although Li Shouxi had many women in his harem, they were only marriages for alliances and were all legitimate concubines, not romantic debts.

One person was in charge of three places, and Li Shouxi had three principal wives and six concubines, which was an official quota.

What remains is the romantic debt.

Therefore, on the surface, apart from Yan Shisanniang, who was married through an unorthodox alliance, Li Shouxi only had Yan Lingji from Nanyue and Song Yuzhi from Lingnan as extra concubines, and they were still marriages through alliances, so they were considered concubines.
