Chapter 1342: Vertical Arch

During the Great Zhou Dynasty, Chai Rong and Chai Zongxun both handled government affairs in the Chongzheng Palace, or received prime ministers and important ministers.

After Li Zhongyi, that is, Li Yi ascended the throne, he changed to work in the vertical arch hall. Behind the vertical arch hall is the Funing Palace, where Li Qiniang happened to be assigned and became the lord of the hall.

After Li Zhongyi finished handling his official duties, he didn't go out a few steps before he arrived at the front door of Funing Palace, which was not too convenient!

Empress Dowager Xue was originally assigned to the Kunning Palace. Later, after her old man personally walked around the palace, she turned around and told Li Zhongyi that she wanted to live in Gyeongbokgun.

After all, it is Li Zhongyi's own mother, and the palace that her old man chose to enjoy her old age in peace, Li Zhongyi has no reason to be sure, so she relied on Empress Dowager Xue.

Since Empress Dowager Xue and Emperor Li Dahe chose Gyeongbok Palace, Li Zhongyi's twin brother Bao Ge'er and sister Tianya naturally lived in Yanhe Hall, which was next to Gyeongbok Palace.

Bao Ge'er and Tianya are both underage and live in the palace, so they are not afraid of outsiders gossiping, and they can let Empress Dowager Xue look at them nearby.

With the continuous growth of age, Brother Bao and Tianya have reached a period where dogs are also suspicious, causing trouble all day long, which makes Empress Dowager Xue a headache.

As for Li Zhongyi's eldest brother, Li Zhonghao, because he was already an adult, Li Zhongyi gave him a house outside the palace.

That house happened to be all the main mansions of the rebel Shi Shouxin before, Li Zhonghao was very familiar with it, and none of the slaves had changed, they were all the same people who used to serve Li Zhonghao to have fun.

Due to the iron law that no knighthood is awarded without military merits, although Li Zhongyi did not knight Li Zhonghao, he did not treat him badly in terms of money, and the reward was a double share of the prince's lordship, and another 500 acres of fertile land in the suburbs of Beijing.

According to the rules of the Qiang Han Dynasty, the prince can receive 500 yuan and 1,000 catties of grain per month, as long as he does not spend every day drinking in the underground restaurant to order luxurious banquets to meet daily expenses, it can be said that it is more than enough.

After Li Dahe, who was ill, learned of Li Zhonghao's arrangement, he looked for Li Zhongyi and praised him fiercely.

Li Zhongyi didn't say anything on the surface, but he was quite unimpressed in his heart. If Li Zhonghao was not Li Zhongyi's half-brother, just the top-secret inside information he revealed to Shi Shouxin would be completely rebellious.

Except for Li Qiniang, the rest of the five concubines and several concubines lived in the east side of the palace, which was originally the location of the lecture hall and Zishantang.

Li Zhongyi is very uninterested in the Four Books and Five Classics, and since he entered Kaifeng City, he has never invited a minister to give a banquet.

Kang Ze figured out Li Zhongyi's thoughts, and when Li Zhongyi was happy, he said: "There is still a large empty space in the east of the palace, which can be completely utilized. ”

After Li Zhongyi's on-the-spot inspection, he ordered the lecture hall and Zishan Hall to be converted into the residences of the concubines.

The affairs of the inner palace are trivial, and after Li Zhongyi moved into the palace, he placed the office of the cabinet in the Jiying Palace.

Between the Jiying Hall and the Vertical Arch Palace, there is only one Imperial Palace, and when the ministers are edicted, they don't need to go far to see Li Zhongyi.

After everything was arranged, Li Zhongyi summoned the cabinet ministers to discuss how to issue an edict to severely punish the queen of the Southern Tang Dynasty.

"The Empress Li of the Southern Tang Dynasty openly did not participate in my enthronement ceremony, which can be described as extremely rude. Ladies and gentlemen, how can you teach me? Li Zhongyi unequivocally pointed out the fault of Li Yu in the Southern Tang Dynasty, and it was clear that he wanted to go online.

"Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that as long as the money and food are sufficient, he can cut down the Southern Tang Dynasty and punish the ministers!" Prime Minister Li Qiong has long known Li Zhongyi's intention to unify the world, so it is naturally impossible for him to come forward to stop it.

"Your Majesty, the whole world is not the king's minister, the shore of the land is not the king's land, and the Li family of the Southern Tang Dynasty is trying to block the car with his mantis arm, which is really ridiculous!"

The second fold understood very well from Ruan's heart that the wolf wanted to eat the lamb, and there was no word for it, he was naturally pushing the boat along the river to fulfill Li Zhongyi's wish to unify the world.

Kong Kun saw that Li Zhongyi's gaze moved to him, so he arched his hand and said: "The Li clan of the Southern Tang Dynasty has long had the heart of disobedience, so he should be killed!" ”

Li Zhongyi couldn't help but smile slightly, Li Yu's kid was a minister in the concert, and he was also willing to pay tribute. However, in the mouths of the ministers of the Southern Tang Dynasty, Li Yu was still called His Majesty, and this was an excuse to come to the door!

Soldiers, the country's major affairs!

After the cabinet collectively discussed the matter of sending troops, Li Zhongyi made the decision on sending troops politically.

Although the cabinet does not care about specific military operations, it also needs the full cooperation of the cabinet to provide logistics for the army to send troops to fight.

There have already been three ministers who have expressed their support for the crusade against the Southern Tang Dynasty, and Liu Jinshan is Li Zhongyi's confidant and important minister, so it is naturally impossible for him to demolish Li Zhongyi's platform in public.

As a result, the ministers of the cabinet unanimously agreed to send troops to attack the Southern Tang Dynasty.

Sending troops is a major event, and although the cabinet ministers have collectively agreed to the decision to send troops, it will certainly take some time before the official dispatch of troops.

After all, Li Jiajun followed Li Zhongyi to fight in the south and the north, and rarely had time to rest. Now, Li Jiajun is taking advantage of the great opportunity for Li Zhongyi to officially ascend the throne, and he is justifiably spending and entertaining in Kaifeng City.

More than 100,000 soldiers of the forbidden army with money in their pockets flocked into Kaifeng City, and the business of various shops unexpectedly showed a deformed prosperity.

Because Chai Yuniang has been screwing with Li Zhongyi, there is no hostess in the palace today.

Li Zhongyi didn't want a certain woman to monopolize the palace power, so he came up with an ingenious way to let the concubines take turns to manage palace affairs for a period of one year.

Li Zhongyi's concubines currently have a total of six people, namely Concubine Tang Shuyi, Concubine Li Cuixuan, Concubine Li Qiniang, Concubine De Folding Saihua, Concubine Fei Meiniang, and Concubine Chen Zhuniang.

The west pavilion of the vertical arch hall is the location of Li Zhongyi's inner study, and now except for Ye Xiaolan and Li Cuixuan, who are pregnant, are absent, the rest of the three records are waiting for pen and ink outside.

Li Zhongyi has never touched Kong Daiyao, but he always asks Zhao Xueniang to accompany him in the inner room, and from time to time there are some movements that are inappropriate for children.

Han Xianglan has long adapted to Li Zhongyi's preferences, but she doesn't care, she can calm down and write an abridgement.

After all, Kong Daiyao is the eldest daughter of Huanghua, as long as there is movement inside, she will be inexplicably red-faced.

Han Xianglan originally didn't want to deal with Kong Daiyao, but later, she couldn't see it, so she whispered Kong Daiyao: "In this palace, a woman with a son is the real status." ”

Kong Daiyao is too quiet, on the contrary, as long as Zhao Xueniang sends an abridgement and a recital to the inside, Li Zhongyi will be left inside and will not be able to come out for a long time.

Ruthlessly rectifying the woman surnamed Zhao, no matter from which point of view, it is easy to arouse Li Zhongyi's exuberant fighting spirit.

Today, Zhao Xueniang took the initiative to send it to the door again and gave Li Zhongyi a whole plate. When Li Zhongyi was closing his eyes and recuperating, he was close to his teeth, and suddenly reported outside the window, "Back to the emperor, Wang Jiang's family is here, waiting outside the palace gate, saying that he wants to be stupid." ”

Wang Jiang's family is Wang Dahei's daughter-in-law, in order to maintain Li Zhongyi's dignity, Wang Dahei committed suicide, and Li Zhongyi accepted Silly Zhu as his adopted son.

"Oh, take her to the stupid pillar. Also, when she leaves, stuff some more money. Alas, it is strange that she is alone in the empty room, and it is strange. Li Zhongyi thought about it and agreed to Wang Jiang's request.

After all, Wang Dahei has been gone for two years, and Wang Jiang's family has been observing the festival for him, and he has no intention of remarrying.

At the end of these five generations, it is not only easy for a woman to remarry after losing her husband, but she can also bring the dowry back to her parents' family in its entirety.

Based on this, Wang Jiang's solitary observance of the festival is particularly different, and Li Zhongyi naturally has to pity a little more!

Silly Zhu is Li Zhongyi's only adopted son so far, Li Zhongyi was worried that someone would deceive him for not having a father, so he handed him over to Concubine Zhuniang to raise.

Li Zhongyi once instructed that the stupid pillar's food and clothing, as well as his treatment, were equal to those of the princes.

Moreover, when Li Zhongyi taught his sons, Silly Zhu was also one of the members of the course.

Objectively speaking, except that Silly Zhu is not Li Zhongyi's own son, he is no different from his own son in other aspects.

After Wang Jiang's left, Li Zhongyi ordered someone to call Silly Zhu, hugged him to his lap, and asked him affectionately: "What delicious and fun did your mother bring?" ”

"Back to Daddy, Mother brought the child's favorite sweet cake." As he spoke, Silly Zhu took out a sweet cake from his pocket and stuffed it into Li Zhongyi's mouth.

Li Zhongyi doesn't like sweets, but he doesn't intend to hurt Silly Zhu's filial piety, so he opened his mouth and took a bite of the sweet cake, and then boasted: "It's delicious, it's so fragrant, it's very sweet!" ”

Silly Zhu smiled happily, stretched out his hands to wrap his arms around Li Zhongyi's neck, and whispered: "Daddy, I'll tell you a secret, but you must not tell others." ”

Li Zhongyi smiled slightly, took out a white handkerchief, helped Silly Zhu wipe the dim sum crumbs from the corners of his mouth, nodded and said, "Okay, Daddy must not tell others." ”

"The eldest brother, the second brother, and the third brother fought fiercely today." Silly Zhu took a bite of the sweet cake, and his words were not clear, but Li Zhongyi understood it in seconds.

The eldest dog baby and the second brother Ling'er, as well as the third brother, have a fight today, hehe, young man, eat well, if you don't exercise, it's hard to vent your energy thoroughly.

When Li Zhongyi was a child, he often fought with the children in the alley, and most of the time, he would beat people to tears, and in a small part, he was beaten by others.

At that time, the atmosphere of fighting was very "positive". No matter who it was, if he lost the fight, no one would complain to the adult, and he went home with a blue nose and swollen face, lied to the adult, and accidentally fell down the stairs.

It's impossible to deceive adults with similar lies, but as long as it's okay, adults will turn a blind eye.

After all, it's children, it's nature to be lively and active, and the so-called logic of raising a son cheaply is also agreed by adults.

In fact, Li Zhongyi's three male babies often fight behind his back. In most cases, it was Brother Ling and Brother Xing who joined forces to provoke the boss dog.

However, as long as there are people, there are rivers and lakes. Among the three princes, the dog baby hurts the stupid pillar the most, so as long as the dog baby loses the fight, the stupid pillar will secretly find Li Zhongyi to complain.

At this time, Li Zhongyi just didn't hear it, the children used their fists and feet, no matter how normal it was, there was no need for adults to meddle in it.
