My name is Chang An, your name is Gu Li

Chang An just rode on the white horse, and Gu Li fell asleep comfortably in his arms.

As he rode his horse, he looked at the crowded Zhuque Street. The street was brightly lit, there were singing and dancing on the Bali Stage, and the people below the stage were laughing and talking happily, a scene of prosperity.

He walked slowly along the way, trying his best not to wake Gu Li. As usual, Chang An entered from the side door. When he arrived in front of the stable, the servant on duty came up and prepared to lead the horse.

Chang An sat on his horse and gently shook Gu Li, calling softly, "Mother Gu? Mother Gu?"

Gu Li rubbed Chang An's shoulder, hummed twice, then opened his eyes with difficulty and asked softly, "Where are we? It's so dark."

"We're home." Chang An smiled and kissed her on the top of her head again.

"Got home?"

Gu Li sat up slightly, loosened his grip on Chang An's hand, and let him get off the horse first. Then he felt a familiar feeling around his waist, and was carried off the horse in a daze. As a result, before his feet touched the ground, he felt himself being carried up again.

"So comfortable..." Gu Li put his arms around Chang An's neck and rubbed his shoulders.

Chang An smiled, tilted his head slightly to signal the servant to take the horse, and then walked towards his own courtyard. As he walked, he whispered, "Still sleeping, little lazy bug, you haven't taken a bath tonight."

"No need to wash..." Gu Li said in a daze, "Chang Lang will hug me... and it will be clean..."

After saying that, Gu Li yawned and smacked his lips, just like a little baby. Chang An smiled, leaned over and kissed her on the cheek. Through the light in the mansion, it seemed that the kiss mark could still be seen.

When they returned to the courtyard, Huaiqin and Zhen'er heard the noise and came over. They saw Gu Li sleeping in Chang'an's arms, and they consciously did not say anything, just watching Chang'an send Gu Li back to the room.

Huaiqin and Zhen'er had already placed a basin in the room for the two to wash. Chang'an gently put Gu Li on the bed and helped her sit up. At this time, Gu Li woke up again and asked, "Chang Lang, are we back in the room?"

"Yeah." Chang An said, and reached out to help her take off the headdress, then reached out to untie the hair tie on her head, letting her black hair hang down naturally.

"Would you like to wash up?"

"Hmm..." Gu Li nodded confusedly.

So Chang An went to get the basin, wet a towel, reached out and pulled off the flower ornament on her forehead, then wiped her face and helped remove the light makeup on her face.

After wiping her face, Gu Li undressed, leaving only a single layer of clothing on her body. Chang An helped her lie on the bed, kissed her on the face, and said:

"I'll go wash up too, and I'll be back soon."

"Then I won't sleep for now," Gu Li heard this and sat up from the bed. After yawning, he said, "I'll wait for Chang Lang to come back and sleep together..."

Chang An smiled and rubbed her head, saying, "I'll just wash up in the room and won't go out."

"No matter what, I'll wait." Gu Li actually pursed his lips a little aggrieved at this time.

"Okay, okay." Chang An couldn't persuade her, so he had to agree.

Chang An came to the basin, washed his face briefly, and blew out the candles in the room. He returned to the bed, took off his robe, and sat in the quilt. At this time, he heard Gu Li's breathing, and he knew she was asleep again.

He helped Gu Li lie back on the bed with amusement, and then he lay down too. The three-day Lantern Festival ended in their sleep.

The next day, Chang'an was going back to the Imperial College, and the officials had to go back to their duties. Even Emperor Li Longji was going to summon all officials to court.

In the Xuanzheng Hall, officials knelt down and worshiped: "Long live the emperor."

After Li Longji accepted the greetings from all the officials, he said, "All the officials, please stand up."

"Before you all report today, I have a piece of news to tell you."

After Li Longji finished speaking, all the officials leaned forward slightly and listened attentively.

"Prime Minister Song sent me some good news before the Lantern Festival." Li Longji smiled slightly and said, "The method proposed by Prime Minister Song to deal with bad money has begun to show results."

At this time, the ministers in the audience looked at each other, and then shouted together: "Congratulations, Your Majesty, Your Majesty is wise!"

"You don't have to do this, I just issued an edict, and you are the ones who really contributed." Li Longji said politely, and then asked: "According to your opinions, what should we do next?"

At this time, Su Ke stood up and said, "Your Majesty, in my opinion, you can continue to implement the current method. Before long, the evil money issue will no longer be a hidden danger to the Tang Dynasty."

Li Longji nodded, and then another imperial censor named Li came out and said, "Your Majesty, in my opinion, now that the anti-money policy has been effective, you can slow down the pace a little according to this method. Otherwise, it will easily cause resentment among the people, making it difficult to continue the subsequent governance."

What Doctor Li meant, of course, was that Li Longji should not govern so vigorously.

But at this time Song Jing said: "Although what Doctor Li said is very true, now that there are results, the local officials below will have more breathing space."

"It is not impossible to slow down the intensity of governance, but not now. We need to wait until things stabilize before slowing down the intensity. If we relax the intensity immediately after initial results, there may be hidden dangers."

"Your Majesty, I think this method is still unclear and there may be hidden dangers. We should not act rashly for the time being." Just as Song Jing finished speaking, another doctor Liu came out and said.

"At present, the exchange rate between official and private coins has been adjusted, which has caused a significant shortfall in the copper ore balance in the Tang Dynasty treasury. It is difficult to make up for it at the moment, so we need to stop this method for the time being and focus on replenishing the treasury."

At this time, Song Jing and Su Ke glanced at Doctor Liu, and then Su Ke said, "What does Doctor Liu mean by this? Is he saying that something that benefits the people and the country has disadvantages?"

"Or is it that this governance is a very bad thing for Doctor Liu?"

Doctor Li could understand the meaning of this. They were pointing fingers at him and scolding him. He immediately became nervous and said, "Prime Minister Su, don't talk nonsense!"

"Then why does Doctor Liu want to put this matter on hold?" This time it was Song Jing's turn to speak, "It's hard for His Majesty not to doubt you, Doctor Liu, with these words."

"I......"

"Okay." Just as Doctor Liu was about to continue speaking, Li Longji suddenly spoke, and the ministers hurriedly leaned over to listen to Li Longji's words:

"I know that you all have different opinions on this matter. I will listen to whoever says it, and I will try to adopt the good ones, but you should stop arguing here."

"Since some ministers think that we should continue, and others want to slow down the pace, I will leave the decision-making power of this matter to you ministers."

After that, Li Longji raised his left hand and said, "If you feel that you need to slow down, stand on my left side."

"If you want to follow the original plan, please stand on my right side."

As soon as the words fell, the ministers began to line up according to what Li Longji said. Because Song Jing and Su Kang were standing on the right side of Li Longji, which was the left side of their own direction. They looked at each other and then did not move.

Soon, the ministers below had already stood in place. Song Jing and Su Qiang looked behind them, then looked across from them, and it was obvious that there were more ministers on their side than on the opposite side.

So, Li Longji said: "Since all the ministers have made their choices, let's deal with the issue of evil money at the original speed and intensity."

After saying that, the ministers returned to their previous positions and began their respective reports.

After the report was finished, Li Longji felt that there was no problem, so he announced the end of the court. As usual, the ministers in the audience shouted "Long live the emperor" and left the Xuanzheng Hall.

When they left Xuanzheng Hall, Doctor Liu and another Zhongcheng named Lin whispered, "Send someone to check later to see who came up with this idea."

"Why do we need to investigate? Wasn't this Song Jing's idea?" asked Lin Zhongcheng.

"No, I know that old fox. Such a thunderous method would definitely not be his idea." Doctor Liu said, and after thinking for a while, he said, "Didn't the old fox Song Jing accept a student? Check it out for me."

"clear."

At this time, on the other side, Song Jing and Su Ke walked side by side. Su Ke said, "Prime Minister Song, Chang Yonghe's knife has hit the heart of some ministers."

"Yeah." Song Jing also smiled and twirled his beard.

"I'm a little envious. Why didn't I accept him as my student?" Su Kang said with some envy, and then shook his head.

"Haha, you can only blame Prime Minister Su for leaving too early on the Double Ninth Festival." Song Jing said.

"I left early, which is a relief for you, Prime Minister Song." Su Ke also smiled, and then said, "But Prime Minister Song, shouldn't you be worried about your students?"

"Worried about him?" Song Jing was a little confused, then thought for a while, "Prime Minister Su, are you saying that someone is going to take action?"

Su Qian nodded and said, "That's right."

Song Jing waved his hand at this time and said confidently: "Most of the things they found are actually useless."

"Why do you say that?" This time it was Su Qiang's turn to be confused.

"Only our own people know what we did. Moreover, these people know that I am close to Dr. Chang. They can find out what happened between me and Yonghe, but if they want to dig deeper, it will be difficult."

"Why can I become the prime minister, but they can't? There is a reason for this..."
