Chapter 37
Qianqing Palace, in a warm pavilion.

Li Yuntang twisted a grape with his left hand, and put it in front of the little emperor's mouth; he used his upper thumb and middle finger to peel off the skin, and then lightly pushed it with his index finger.

The half-lying Tianzi didn't even need to inhale, the pulp slid into her mouth by gravity; then she squirmed her cheeks lightly, savoring the sweetness in her mouth.

Guessing that the little emperor had chewed enough, Li Yuntang stretched out his right hand and let the emperor spit the grape seeds into his palm; then he pinched another grape with his left hand to start the next round of feeding.

As a result, this time, Li Yuntang stretched his fingers a little long, and half of his index finger accidentally sank into the emperor's red lips; when he realized the nephrite feeling from his fingertips, he couldn't move his fingers anymore. came back.

The little emperor gritted his teeth lightly, actually biting half of his knuckles!
Li Yuntang's heart froze, he didn't know why the little emperor would do this suddenly; but he always had a vague feeling that he had seen this scene somewhere before.

After thinking for a moment, he thought of the source:
In the previous life, there was an anime called "Horse Breaks the Sky", in which the male protagonist Xiaoyan seems to have been bitten by the snake queen.
And the same thing is that no matter how you pull your fingers, you can't pull them out.

Li Yuntang, who didn't know what to say, suddenly felt a chill in his fingertips, and the little emperor seemed to use his tongue to push the grape flesh back to his fingertips.

And the area around the fingers is constantly being blown by the hot air from the little emperor's breath; it is quite comfortable when it is cold and hot.

Li Yuntang originally wanted to ask the emperor why he bit his finger, but seeing the little emperor tilting his head triumphantly towards him, looking very cute, he gave up this idea and let her hold it like this.

Unexpectedly, a sudden change occurred!

A sudden sharp pain came from the fingertips, which made Li Yuntang withdraw his hand reflexively; he took a closer look and saw that the index finger of his left hand had been bitten, and bright red blood oozes from the first knuckle.

Li Yuntang, who was so painful that he took a deep breath, even though he was puzzled, he didn't dare to take his anger out on the emperor lightly, but asked, "Your Highness, what are you?"

"Does it hurt?" The little emperor didn't yell, but asked with some concern.

"It hurts, why does the emperor always like to bite people, it was the same last time in Zhaoren Hall."

"It hurts!"

The little emperor raised his voice several times in an instant, and his complexion turned ugly in an instant, and he scolded: "You preoccupied little thief, if you don't let you suffer, you won't have a long memory!"

If you make a mistake, dare to do it next time!

Li Yuntang didn't take it seriously in his heart, but he was quite aware of current affairs, and respectfully replied to the emperor, "Don't dare again".

And the little emperor didn't intend to continue to pursue it. He took out a silk handkerchief from his arms and threw it into Li Yuntang's arms, motioning for him to bandage his fingers, and then asked:
"You go out of the palace to handle errands, how are you doing with the things I told you?"

Being asked such a question, Li Yuntang quickly wrapped the emperor's incense scarf on the wound, tightly clenched his index finger with his right hand, and replied seriously:
"Fortunately, I have already contacted the police Nanya."

"Then can they help me?" Hearing this, the little emperor sat up in an instant, leaned in front of him and asked, "Just like what you said, they should be cultivated as my administrative team."

"I'm afraid this is unlikely." Facing the expectant eyes of the little emperor, Li Yuntang hesitated for a moment, but still told the truth:

"Emperor Taizong's original intention of setting up the police station in the Nanya was only to let them inquire about the news, and he did not even delegate the power to arrest people and try cases. Therefore, the police station in the Nanya did not have the power and means to intervene in official affairs;

If they were to be forcibly transferred to duties such as factory guards, they would not only be exposed, but would lose the convenience of secret investigations, hinder the emperor's eyes and ears, and would also arouse criticism from courtiers. "

"After all, I can't count on them," the little emperor leaned back on the reclining chair in frustration, covered his face with one hand, and continued to ask, as if a little tired, "Then what should we do next?"

Hearing the emperor's tone, Li Yuntang first suppressed the idea of ​​begging for the police's salary in the Nanya, and persuaded:
"Your Highness, although they cannot provide direct assistance to His Highness in power, their functions of supervising officials and gaining insight into the morale of the army, and enabling His Highness to hear the voices of the market and understand the movements of foreign barbarians are extremely important; not on."

The little emperor didn't buy it, and replied angrily: "Then, have they brought me any important news?"

"Have!"

The little emperor who was lying down showed a gap between his index finger and middle finger, looked at Li Yuntang twice, and asked, "What news?"

"The Empress Dowager Yi'an, in the name of the emperor, increased the salaries of the three guards of Pengchen, Gongsheng, and Yulin."

The little emperor immediately sat up straight, not even bothering to grab the soft blanket that slid off his body, the leisurely expression on his face disappeared instantly, and he hurriedly asked: "How much has the salary of her general been raised?" ?”

The emperor's reaction like this also put a lot of pressure on Li Yuntang, but he still told the truth: "The increase is relatively large, and everyone increases, about [-]% to [-]% increase."

Hearing the words four to five percent, the little emperor's face turned from disappointment to worry, and his tone even hinted at anger:
"Forty to five percent
I have read the relevant accounts before, the monthly salary of the entire imperial army, not counting the rice given, is about 16 taels;

She opened her mouth lightly, and every month she spilled an extra 4 taels of silver!
According to the previous agreement, she only needs to pay the military salary for two months, and from now on, the three guards' military salary will all fall on my head! "

Seeing the little emperor's reaction, Li Yuntang could guess that the old emperor probably didn't leave much money for her; otherwise, he wouldn't be so worried about 4 taels of silver every month.

Thinking of this, Li Yuntang suddenly realized, and suddenly understood the sinister intention of the Empress Dowager Yi'an to raise her salary:

First of all, it is easy to increase the military salary of the forbidden army, but it is difficult to lower it;
If the little emperor dared to lower the salary back to the original standard, then the three guards guards would not only not be grateful for the extra salary paid in the past two months, but would feel that the emperor was deducting the military salary. If you are not careful, it may lead to a big mistake.

Secondly, it is not to worry about the few but the unevenness; on the bright side, the six guards of the imperial army are still the emperor's pro-army;
But the little emperor raised the military pay of the three guards under his control, and did not increase the pay of the other three guards; it would inevitably lead to the separation of the other three guards, and the Empress Dowager's control of the three guards was more secure.

The military power at this time seems to have become a hot potato, and catching it will inevitably make the emperor's already dire financial situation worse.

But if she gives up, the Empress Dowager Yi'an will be able to take advantage of it; under the obstruction of the courtiers, she certainly cannot control the three guards of Pengchen, Gongsheng, and Habayashi.

But it is not difficult to make them lose their combat effectiveness due to lax training and lax military discipline!
