Chapter 307: The Rabbit Dies, the Dog Cooks the Aunt, and Puts It Away

Qiao An was very melancholy, although Li Zhongxuan was rewarded and rewarded, she was not happy at all.

During this period of time, she didn't ask about the world, she didn't deliberately inquire about what happened outside, she was so depressed, and her mind turned around a thousand times.

"Princess, are you happy, everything has turned around, and the bad guys have been killed, so don't be sad."

Jade Ying looked at Qiao An, who stared into the distance in distraction, her gaze losing focus.

How can it not be sad?

Recently, Li Zhongxuan has become the queen regent, and there are more things, according to Li Zhongxuan's meaning, now it is necessary to reform the old and make the new. Change a series of things that need to be changed before, starting with the rights and interests of the people.

She first suggested that the emperor pay a light tax, and the little emperor nodded again and again, in fact, he was just playing, and the eunuch next to him saw the little emperor's plaything's discouraged appearance, and he unconsciously pinched a cold sweat for the little emperor.

"Your Majesty, please listen attentively." The old eunuch coughed, and the little emperor hurriedly put the crickets in the jar next to him, and smiled at Li Zhongxuan, "This matter in the court, I don't understand the place, you can arrange it, you are the regent, you don't need to tell me about this." ”

"Your Majesty, it's me! Ah, I! The eunuch next to him reminded.

"Oh," the little emperor hurriedly corrected, "you don't need to tell me, you can arrange it yourself, what kind of relatives and light taxes and so on, I believe you will arrange it in an orderly manner." ”

The reason why Li Zhongxuan consulted with the little emperor was that he actually wanted the little emperor to get involved, and although he was the regent, he was more willing to leave these matters to the emperor to deal with.

He just beats the side drum and makes him know what to do.

But the little emperor was a king at the beginning, and all his interests were in toys, so he had no intention of ruling at all.

Li Zhongxuan looked back at the officials and the Ministry of Industry who were kneeling behind him, and waved his hand to them, "Everyone, step back first, this king has two thoughtful words to talk to the emperor." ”

The crowd hurriedly retreated.

This official was very corrupt and bribed before, and Li Zhongxuan was upright in the court, in fact, he and Li Zhongxuan were at odds with each other.

The Ministry of Industry Shangshu borrowed a lot of construction every year to fill his pocket, but Li Zhongxuan became the regent, and the first thing he talked to him about was construction.

According to Li Zhongxuan's meaning, in the imperial capital, the garden does not need to be built, and the palace does not need to be built, it is best to focus on the city wall.

He wanted to refute a few sentences, but seeing Li Zhongxuan's unpredictable appearance, he could only retreat, and after the two of them went outside, Li Zhongxuan stepped forward and approached the throne.

The little emperor is only seven years old, although he is still afraid of Li Zhongxuan, he has also seen the scene of Li Zhongxuan's murder, and when he saw Li Zhongxuan approaching him at this moment, the little emperor gasped and got up slowly.

"The king, the prince."

"Take it out!" Li Zhongxuan stretched out his hand and asked for his toy, the little emperor was stunned, looked at Li Zhongxuan in amazement, and hurriedly quibbled: "I, I don't have anything here, I don't have what you want here." ”

"Take it out!" Li Zhongxuan repeated, the little emperor was taken by Li Zhongxuan's obscenity, frowned timidly, and handed the big black cricket in his hand to Li Zhongxuan.

"Lord Wang, this is what Fusheng gave me in Shanglin Yuan with great difficulty, you can't kill it."

Li Zhongxuan didn't kill the cricket, he approached the window, opened the window with a "squeak", and threw the fat-headed and big-eared cricket on the fluffy lawn outside, and the cricket jumped and chirped.

"Your Majesty, don't play with these things in the future." Li Zhongxuan looked back at the little emperor.

"You! How can you let go of my general, I still have to keep fighting with Su'e, you lord! You're not close to people. "Li Zhongxuan is not close to people, he doesn't want the little emperor to have no sense of crisis.

Now that the dynasty has just been settled, there are many things.

"Don't play anymore." Li Zhongxuan repeated again, and his cold gaze fell on the old eunuch Fusheng, who had served the emperor for more than twenty years.

In the past 20 years, he has been conscientious and old-fashioned, and he is an inner chamberlain with a very good character, but at this moment, he is also messing around with the emperor.

"Next time I let my subordinates see that the emperor is still playing with these things, these useless old slaves in front of you will have to change their generals." Li Zhongxuan looked at Fusheng reproachfully.

Fusheng was frightened and knelt on the ground and kowtowed like pounding garlic.

The little emperor was angry and blushed, "You! You! "He was almost crying.

But Li Zhongxuan said: "Men don't flick when they have tears, let alone the Son of Heaven, don't cry!" The little emperor was extremely aggrieved and could only endure it.

"I just talked about light taxes, do you remember the emperor? If you hadn't listened carefully or forgotten it just now, your subordinates would have repeated it, the people of Zhongjing would have reduced their harvest of 12 catties of grains by 100 catties, and the places on both sides of the Yellow River, such as Yougu County and Yongning, would be halved! ”

"Why did I do this? Isn't this favoritism? Will the people of Zhongjing agree? The little emperor looked at Li Zhongxuan angrily.

He wanted to get angry just now, but he didn't dare, and now when it comes to things that need to be decided by herself, she simply becomes Charizard.

But Li Zhongxuan was not only a little annoyed, but also very pleased, "Explain the words of your subordinates, my emperor listened carefully, that is just because during the visit of your subordinates, you found that the land in the imperial capital is fertile, and the annual income of one acre of land is one stone and two hundred catties of grain, while on both sides of the Yellow River, the land is barren, and one acre of land is only more than 700 catties!" ”

"Oh, you're clear, then do what you want." The little emperor nodded and looked at Li Zhongxuan approvingly.

He found that Li Zhongxuan had indeed considered himself very comprehensively in these matters, and it could be said that he didn't need to think much.

"Now, we need to set up some free school palaces, so that every school-age child can be enlightened and learn things." Li Zhongxuan looked at the little emperor.

"How much silver do we need, and where do we have it?" The little emperor got serious.

"We naturally have, take it from the people for the people, and the money can be used by the merchants, so that the merchants can do business in our imperial capital."

"I've been heavy on agriculture and suppressed commerce for more than 100 years in Dijing, aren't you trying to improve your status as a businessman?" The little emperor had the intention of objecting, and his voice was weak, as if it came from a crack in the ground.

"Actually, your subordinates had the same opinion as you, and they were opposed to merchants doing business, thinking that what they did was speculation, but later I found that the merchants' business was booming, and our imperial capital would be prosperous and stable, and we only needed to collect taxes on them."

Li Zhongxuan looked at the little emperor.

The little emperor didn't seem to understand, and his puzzled eyes fell on Fusheng, who accompanied him every day, and Fusheng's head was lowered, completely out of the way.

"The emperor needs to think for himself, Fusheng is your entourage, although he is the chief eunuch, but the eunuchs have no right to intervene in the affairs of the court." Li Zhongxuan frowned.

"Then follow what you want, this one will pass, talk about the following, talk about it." The little emperor is average, and it is obviously a very simple reason, but he has to ask one, two, three, four or five clearly.

Li Zhongxuan was also willing to answer, and answered these questions carefully one by one, and then, the establishment of a medical center, the promotion of talents, etc., all said, some of the little emperors understood, and immediately wrote the holy decree, and some did not understand, and asked many times.

But in the end, the holy decree was written, and Fusheng promulgated it, and now Li Zhongxuan is thinking about how to enrich the country and strengthen the army every day, and he is very busy.

But in this way, the people who supported him also said that there were more people who opposed him, some people said that he was tyrannical and that he was powerful, and Li Zhongxuan just laughed it off after hearing it.

In the different voices of praise and praise, Li Zhongxuan went his own way and continued to do his own thing.

Suddenly, the Ministry of Industry Shangshu united several people to Yishou Palace to "hand Ruyi", the so-called "hand Ruyi" is just a group of ministers to visit the Queen Mother.

Send Ruyi to the inner hall first, and then several people are waiting outside, they all wanted a lot of rhetoric before they came, how to bring down Li Zhongxuan, and so on.

After Zhao Guiren became the queen mother, she didn't hear anything outside the window, she spent most of her life in the cold palace, and lived a life timidly, never dreaming that there would be such a happy ending one day.

Therefore, she is just rich and honorable, and she doesn't pay attention to anything, there are Li Zhongxuan and General Cheng and others in the previous dynasty, and they will definitely assist the little emperor.

Ruyi sent it in, and the Queen Mother gently stroked it, but she couldn't put it down.

"It's hard for them to have a heart, let them all come in." The Queen Mother doesn't know, but whenever someone "delivers Ruyi", there must be congratulations and impeachment.

At this moment, several people including the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Rites came in.

The Ministry of Rites Shangshu said that Li Zhongxuan had ulterior motives and did not build a palace for the Empress Dowager, and the Ministry of Rites said that Li Zhongxuan had made a mess of the personnel of the imperial court, cronyism, and added a lot of official positions and revoked many official positions.

The secretary of the criminal department told the Empress Dowager that Li Zhongxuan had made the punishment very cruel, and was also ready to reiterate the prisoners in the prison, hearing this, the Empress Dowager just laughed, she thought that no matter what Li Zhongxuan did, he had a reason, but blamed this group of people for making a fuss.

But this wishful thing has gradually become a commonplace in Yishou Palace.

The next thing completely angered the Queen Mother.

It was one day in November, and the little emperor didn't know where to get two pixiu to play, and suddenly Li Zhongxuan found out, Li Zhongxuan not only let Pixiu go, but also blamed the little emperor, and even the old eunuch Fusheng, who had served in front of the emperor for more than 20 years, was punished for kneeling all night.

When the incident happened here, the Queen Mother was like sitting on pins and needles, and she didn't need others to deliver Ruyi, she let Mama pity these adults one by one.

This time, after the arrival of those adults, she took the initiative to ask Li Zhongxuan what he was doing recently, it turned out that all the officials of the imperial court military positions were replaced by Li Zhongxuan's generals and General Cheng's subordinates.

Li Zhongxuan did not build the palace and the palace, but only strengthened the city wall, etc., and these things were handed over to his people to do, and the Ministry of Works Shangshu has become a puppet.

As for the punishment, Li Zhongxuan added unsensational torture instruments, but he released many criminals mercifully, and the rest of the prisoners who were waiting to die in the prison were also released.

Hearing this, the Queen Mother unconsciously pinched a cold sweat.

That's it, Li Zhongxuan still scolds the little emperor at every turn! This made the Queen Mother feel that something was wrong.

He has the right to correct the little emperor, but he can't represent all the meanings of the little emperor, and the current life of the little emperor is miserable.

In the eyes of the Queen Mother, the little emperor was in dire straits, and she could no longer sit idly by, so she decided to listen to the government.
