The unspeakable silence lasted for a while. When Wei Zifu couldn't help but tremble, Wang Xiao finally sighed.

"Forget it, for your sake, let Gongsun He go to the Hu Ben Army."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Wei Zifu's voice was already filled with sobs.

She was really scared.

"come over."

Wei Zifu stepped forward carefully. Wang Xiao raised his arm, and she obediently leaned into Wang Xiao's arms.

"Don't do this kind of thing again in the future." Wang Xiao gently stroked her shoulders. "The foreign relatives of the Han Dynasty, from Lu to Bo Zhao, and then to Dou Guangguo Tianfu. There is no benefit except causing endless trouble to the Han Dynasty. I will change this matter in the future.

Yes. If you become the queen, just manage the court affairs well. Don’t talk too much about things outside.”

"I know, I will never dare to do it again."

Wei Zifu is of a low origin and is now very young and not as good as decades later.

She was nervous because of the previous incident, and most importantly, she was not the queen yet, and she was worried about gains and losses and could not understand what Wang Xiao said at all.

At this moment, Wei Zifu had only one thought in his heart, that is, he would never do these things again, and pleasing the emperor with all his heart was her only pursuit.

Wang Xiao nodded with satisfaction, patted her shoulders, raised his hand and pressed her hair down and pressed her slightly, "Your mouth is quite sweet today, but you should always let me know how sweet it is."

Without any doubts, Wei Zifu bent down respectfully.

Although she was young, she could see clearly that her ex-Queen Chen Jiao was so tough in the background, but the final result was also deposed. For the girls in the Weiyang Palace, only the emperor is the most important support.

So she never refuses any request from Wang Xiao.

At the beginning, Tian Fu was still a little nervous. He was especially the fact that he transferred the horses from the horse farm for various reasons in private, and then removed them under the pretext of death from illness, death from battle, loss, etc., and then sold them for money.

Horses in the Han Dynasty were extremely expensive, but they were of different value than cars in the modern world.

Usually a good horse costs thousands of dollars.

There are many horse farms in Dahan, and the number of horses in stock is as high as hundreds of thousands.

This is just the number of horse farms, and the number of horses raised by the people is also extremely high. These horses are also under the jurisdiction of horse government.

This is because the Han Dynasty suffered enough of the Huns' cavalry legion with super high mobility, so Emperor Wen of Han and Emperor Jing of Han both raised horses vigorously, trying to defeat the Huns by using the enemy's strongest power to destroy the enemy.

The biggest basis for the Huns who could fight in history was that they had accumulated a huge amount of population and materials for him during the decades of Wen and Jing's rule.

However, accordingly, there are also many people who want to make these materials.

"Ma Zheng has so many horses, I will take away a little, and the emperor will not know."

Tian Fen comforted himself, feeling that Wang Xiao was so busy every day, so how could he pay attention to this little thing?

As for why he had to start with Ma Zheng, it was not because he was short of money himself.

Tian Fu does have a lot of money now, and he himself is almost silent.

But the problem is that his men have no money.

When you come out to do things, your younger brothers are very important. If you can’t arrange a good position for your younger brothers, you have to use money to keep supporting him upwards.

If you don't pay, you guys will turn against you.

So before, Tian Fu, who was the only one short-selling general, could not wait to make money after gaining real power in charge of Ma Zheng, so he could not wait to make money in it to appease so many younger brothers under his command.

As for saying that he is so rich, why don’t he pay to support his younger brothers by himself? Have you ever seen a corrupt official who uses his own money to support his younger brother?

Tian Fu still disliked that the money in his mansion was not enough to spend, so he would not touch his money.

Moreover, he lives a very luxurious life now. He must use the latest style of wok to cook when eating, and he has to drink it for a few months to come out.

He was not the one who ate and drank alone, but there were so many people in the entire mansion and so many younger brothers.

If hundreds of mouths are opened and Tian Fu doesn't find a way to make money, he will not be bankrupt in a long time.

Moreover, his family also has hundreds of singers and many musicians, plus more servants and maids, etc., which only eat but have no output.

Tian Fu had no choice. If he wanted to maintain the power and status he now had and the superiority that everyone sought after, he had to reach out.

"The emperor is really biased."

When news of Gongsun He as the captain of the Huben Army came, the younger brothers around Tian Fu all stood up for him. "The Taiwei is the emperor's closest relative."

"That's true. The Taiwei is the leader of the military officers in the world, but the emperor does not give Taiwei military power. It's true."

"Okay." Tian Fu, who pretended to be majestic, waved his hands repeatedly to signal the younger brothers under his seat not to say "This kind of thing is not allowed to talk nonsense in the future."

Tian Fu himself has no interest in military affairs, and he can only be a name for this Grand Marshal. What he really wants to be the prime minister, that is, he holds great power, and is less than ten thousand people.

What he is concerned about now is another matter. "I heard that someone is asking about Ma Zheng recently?"

Wang Xiao arranged for Zhang Tang to investigate Tian Fu's affairs with Ma Zheng, but the people sent by Zhang Tang were noticed.

After all, he is a cruel official, and his style of doing things is straightforward. He is not very suitable for Zhang Tang's personality and style.

"That little man Tang was successful and suddenly got a high position and wanted to pull down a big man to show his merits."

When the younger brothers talk, they gritted their teeth. It was not because they hated Zhang Tang, but because of why such a good thing as jealousy did not fall on their heads.

Zhang Tang was originally just a small commander in Maoling County, that is, the one who manages local public security.

In Chang'an City, it is a small person who is really not allowed to be on the table.

But because of Wang Xiao's importance, this small official, the size of sesame and mung bean, soared into the sky and reached the high position of the Chief Superintendent of the Tingwei within a few years.

When Empress Dowager Dou died of illness, the previous Tingwei immediately fell ill, and then Zhang Tang took the opportunity to become the Tingwei, one of the nine ministers.

The Tingwei generalizes the number of prisons in the country and is responsible for the imperial prison. When encountering major cases, he can even directly reject the Prime Minister's opinions, which is a place of real power.

Also, weights and measures are also managed by the Tingwei.

When Tian Fu was really panicked when he learned that Zhang Tang had set his sights on Ma Zheng. Because he was indeed very guilty.

"It has to be like a way to keep the emperor's attention from me."

Tian Fen knew that Zhang Tang could not target Ma Zheng for no reason, and the only possibility was that Wang Xiao ordered Zhang Tang.

Although Tian Fen seems to be calling the wind and rain in Chang'an City now, he actually knew very well that his so-called power was not worth mentioning in front of Wang Xiao, who held all the military power.

"But how to divert the emperor's attention?"

This is not only a headache for Tian Fu, but also a headache for the entire Chang'an City nobles.

In order to show their faces in front of Wang Xiao, they really tried their best.

It’s a pity that Wang Xiao is knowledgeable and doesn’t care about giving money. He gives more treasures, and flattering and posing is meaningless. This really makes countless people worry about it.

Tian Fu, who was in a dilemma, subconsciously looked at the singers dancing gracefully in the music.

"Huh? The emperor seems to be very good at this."

Tian Fu suddenly thought of something, smiled and made up his mind to start a large-scale selection.

At this time, Wang Xiao didn't know that Tian Fu was already planning to give him a beautiful girl.

Of course, even if you know Wang Xiao will refuse righteously and sternly.

Because he is a gentleman, how could he accept such gifts from girls as gifts? This is completely opposite to his gentlemanly character.

At this time, Wang Xiao was meeting a group of astronomers.

Of course, there is no name for astronomers in this era. These people who observe astrological signs are under the command of the Taishi Ling.

The Taishi Ling has a low status and is under the jurisdiction of Taichang, who is in charge of the ancestral temple etiquette, culture and education, Ling County administration, and all the nine ministers related to gods and immortals.

This official position is said to have been in the Xia Dynasty and has always been used as a historian.

As for the astronomical calendar, sacrifices and other things are part-time jobs.

"I'll come to you today." Wang Xiao looked at Yan Yi and others and said seriously, "It's for changing the calendar."

Yan Yi and others were moved because changing the calendar in this era is not a small matter, but an extremely important event. It is a major event that can affect the whole world.

"The current Zhuanxu calendar has been around for almost a hundred years since the 26th year of the First Emperor."

Wang Xiao ignored their expressions and continued, "I found that after using them over the years, the Zhuanxu calendar is not easy to use. So I have to change the calendar."

"I dare to ask Your Majesty." Yan Yi stepped forward and took a walk. "How to change it?"

"How to change it specifically is your job." Wang Xiao smiled and said, "I only give a few suggestions here."

"The first is to make the winter October the year begin and restore the first month of the summer calendar as the year begins."

When Wang Xiao wants to change the calendar, the first thing he does is naturally to determine the beginning of the first lunar month. As a person in the modern world, he has already developed a habit of celebrating the Spring Festival in the first lunar month. If it were October, it would feel strange.

"The second is to add the twenty-four solar terms to it."

The twenty-four solar terms are the true wisdom of the ancients. Through their observations of the farming season and the movement of celestial bodies, they accurately reflect the changes in natural rhythms and play an extremely important role in people's daily lives.

It is not only a seasonal system that guides farming production, but also a folk system that contains rich folk events.

The twenty-four solar terms are called the fifth invention of China.

"The last point is to correct the errors in the previous Zhuanxu calendar and calculate the time completely and accurately."

After saying this, Wang Xiao's eyes swept over Yan Yi, Deng Ping, Tang Du and others, "Can they do it?"

Yan Yi, who was appointed as the Grand Historian not long ago, nodded vigorously, "You can do it by replying to Your Majesty's words. But what name should be done in the new calendar?"
