After Li Zhongyi returned to the palace, he was still angry, and even the most favored Li Qiniang was unprecedentedly closed.

Li Qiniang is not stupid, the man is not even seen by her, obviously stimulated.

So, Li Qiniang brought Zhang Sanzheng over, asked carefully, and then suddenly realized, and hurriedly went to see Empress Dowager Xue in person.

When Empress Dowager Xue heard about such a big event, she immediately couldn't sit still, and immediately set off to find Li Zhongyi.

Li Zhongyi's knife in front of the palace kissed his teeth, and when he saw the Empress Dowager Xue coming, no one dared to stop him, so he only divided the manpower to inform Li Zhongyi.

The relationship between Empress Dowager Xue and Li Zhongyi is different from that of ordinary mothers and sons, and after Li Zhongyi learned the news, he had to come out to greet him.

After coming down from the shoulder, Empress Dowager Xue kept holding Li Zhongyi's hand, and the mother and son entered the dormitory side by side.

"Da Lang, you are the meat that fell from my stomach, and no one knows your temper better than me." Empress Dowager Xue gently patted the back of Li Zhongyi's hand, and said with a smile, "You are the king of a country, whoever makes you unhappy, let's make his whole family unhappy." ”

Li Zhongyi didn't expect that Empress Dowager Xue would have such an attitude, and what Empress Dowager Xue said was roughly similar to a certain slogan in later generations, which was quite joyful.

"Mother, I'm not really angry. It's just that there are some things that must be done in front of everyone. Li Zhongyi said with a smile, and Empress Dowager Xue immediately understood.

"That's good, that's good, I'm still worried that you're angry, so it's troublesome." Empress Dowager Xue let out a sigh of relief, took Li Zhongyi's hand and gently patted it twice.

In fact, Li Zhongyi was really angry at first, but after giving the order to arrest people, he gradually calmed down.

A person who had never been angry was annoyed, and Li Zhongyi just took advantage of this anger to wipe out the Confucian students who made trouble.

At the beginning, Zhu Chongba killed more than 10,000 people, including many Confucian students, and the Ming Dynasty still continued its rule for more than 200 years.

This dynasty does not kill scholars, that is the national policy of the weak Song Dynasty, and there is no such absurd creed here in Li Zhongyi.

During the reign of Zhu Chongba, the imperial power was still unable to go down to the county, and the power vacuum below the county level was still in the hands of the squires.

However, Li Zhongyi's method of ruling was that the imperial power must go down to the county. Not only did they have to go down to the county, but also the officers who were transferred to the village with a pole.

This means that Li Zhongyi's ability to control and mobilize the entire empire far exceeds that of Zhu Chongba.

If the old-school generals do not cooperate, Li Zhongyi will choose an iron-blooded wrist and sweep them into the garbage heap of history like the autumn wind sweeping away the leaves.

If the scholars or Confucian scholars did not cooperate, Li Zhongyi still had a way to make them regret it, that is, to permanently prohibit the troublesome Confucian scholars and their family members from participating in the imperial examination.

Only those who are eligible to participate in the imperial examination can become officials, which has become a common practice. If the right to participate in the imperial examination is lost, it means that the entire family will have no one to be an official.

In an official-based society, if there are no officials among the family members, they will obviously be the target of bullying.

I think that at the beginning, after respecting Confucianism alone, the Confucian scholars used the monopoly of the imperial examination power to throw the hundreds of schools of thought into the garbage heap of history.

Now, Li Zhongyi is just doing the opposite, obediently have candy to eat, and those who are not obedient are not allowed to be officials, it's as simple as that.

Empress Dowager Xue didn't care about this, she was only worried about Li Zhongyi's body and bones. Now that Li Zhongyi has uncovered the mystery, and the mother and son haven't seen each other for a long time, they naturally chatted very energetically.

"Alas, at the beginning, I didn't expect to be the queen mother one day, and this is all thanks to your blessing." Empress Dowager Xue said with emotion, "At that time, the Cao family was in charge, and she caused trouble for our mother and son all day long, either scolding you for being useless, or punishing her mother for not being allowed to eat, life was really difficult!" ”

Li Zhongyi smiled slightly and comforted Empress Dowager Xue: "Mother, it's been so long, why do you still remember?" The good days of our mother and son are still ahead. ”

Empress Dowager Xue gently patted the back of Li Zhongyi's hand and said with a smile: "This person, once you live a good life, you will inevitably have to be sad and sad, and you are already content with your mother's life." ”

Li Zhongyi suddenly remembered something, so he smiled and said: "Mother, when you are busy with this time, the child will take you and your father to Jiangnan to play, okay?" ”

Speaking of which, Empress Dowager Xue is also very pitiful, in addition to staying at home in her life, she is trapped in the palace, and she doesn't know what she looks like.

"It won't disturb the people, will it?" Empress Dowager Xue asked Li Zhongyi with some concern.

Li Zhongyi smiled and said: "Let's take the waterway, we will live on the boat, first, we will not build a palace, and second, we will not mess up the apportionment, and there will be no disturbance to the people." ”

"That's good, that's good. I once heard your father say that Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty went down to the south of the Yangtze River and made the people's lives miserable, so that they lost the country and were in a different place. ”

When she was young, Empress Dowager Xue looked like a flower and moon, otherwise, Li Dahe would not have bought her as a concubine.

As the saying goes, marry a wife and marry virtue, and take a concubine. Empress Dowager Xue's appearance, from a modern point of view, can score at least 85 points.

"Oh, by the way, there is something to discuss with you, Brother Bao'er is not young, continue to live in the palace, for fear of causing gossip from others, why don't you divide the house as soon as possible?" Empress Dowager Xue is a sensible mother, although she is very reluctant, but her youngest son Bao Ge'er is indeed not young, and he should have lived in another house two years ago.

Li Zhongyi thought for a while and said: "Mother, this dynasty cannot be knighted without military merits, even if Brother Bao is my own brother, this case cannot be broken." ”

Empress Dowager Xue is a person who understands, she understood what Li Zhongyi meant as soon as she heard it, and couldn't help laughing: "After all, it's your own brother of the same father and mother, you just need to look at it, is it possible that you, as a brother, will you still starve him?" ”

Li Zhongyi immediately laughed, the more sensible Empress Dowager Xue was, the more he felt that he couldn't treat Brother Bao badly.

"Mother, why don't you do this, just let Brother Bao guard the submarine for me, right?" Li Zhongyi said it lightly, but Empress Dowager Xue understood that she was obviously guarding the hidden mansion, but in fact, she gave Bao Ge'er a lot of preferential treatment.

Today's Qiandi is the land of Longxing, a forbidden area for ministers. Who would dare to make a mistake except for the emperor himself?

"No, that's too conspicuous." Empress Dowager Xue rejected Li Zhongyi's kindness, and said with emotion, "It's not easy for you to be the emperor, so as not to gossip about people in vain, and it's not good for your younger brother." ”

"Then build a big mansion and seal Brother Bao'er as a big official." Li Zhongyi is quite willing to spend money on his only younger brother, and he is truly a brother and friend.

As for Brother Bao, for Li Zhongyi, the eldest brother, he really treats him as his father.

Brother and brother Gong, this is a situation that Empress Dowager Xue particularly likes, she immediately nodded, and instructed Li Zhongyi: "That house must not be built too luxuriously, so as not to harm Brother Bao." ”

The mother and son discussed it, and finally finalized the official position of Bao Ge'er, the envoy of Caozhou Jiedu, and the Pingzhang of Tongzhongshumen, which is the so-called title of envoy.

In the later Zhou Dynasty, the prime minister was already a fictitious title, that is, he enjoyed the treatment of the prime minister, but he did not have the real power of the prime minister, which was purely in the nature of a consolation prize or an encouragement award.

After entering this dynasty, the Jiedu envoy was even more ineffective without a soldier, not only that, but even the political affairs hall stood aside, and the Pingzhang matter under the door of the same book became a worthless title.

After Li Zhongyi ascended the throne, he implemented the principle of separating military and political affairs, which rapidly strengthened the system of centralized power and greatly weakened the real power of local forces.

The mother and son agreed on where Bao Ge'er went, and the topic immediately turned to Tianya, which was also a piece of Empress Dowager Xue's heart.

"As the saying goes, marry a man, marry a man, dress and eat. However, Tianya was born in the royal family, and there is no worry about eating and dressing, I am only worried that she is married to a non-human and lives a hard life. ”

Pity the hearts of parents all over the world, Empress Dowager Xue is simply heartbroken for a pair of twin daughters.

Li Zhongyi smiled slightly and said, "Mother, Tianya is still young, so there is no need to get married in a hurry." "It's just an excuse for him.

The real reason is that Tianya is only fourteen years old now, and her body is not yet mature. If you marry too early, I am afraid that it will be difficult to have children in the future.

In this era of lack of medical treatment, even if Li Zhongyi is a famous doctor in the world, he does not dare to ensure that Tianya can produce smoothly.

"Silly words, Tianya is fourteen years old, not too young, it's time to talk about others. I think that at the beginning, at her age, Weiniang was already your father's concubine. Empress Dowager Xue's words made Li Zhongyi roll his eyes.

"Mother, Tianya is my only sister, even if she doesn't get married, she must choose a good husband." Li Zhongyi could only find ways to find excuses and try to block Empress Dowager Xue's mouth.

However, Empress Dowager Xue's concept of marriage is completely out of step with Li Zhongyi, and neither mother nor son can convince anyone.

Empress Dowager Xue glared at Li Zhongyi, and said angrily: "Can't delay it any longer, drag it out any longer, beware that no one wants her." ”

This is a typical forced marriage!

Li Zhongyi couldn't resist his mother, so he had to bite the bullet and say, "Mother, why don't you go and ask Tianya what she means?" ”

"Hmph, marriage is a big event, it has always been the order of the parents, the words of the matchmaker, when do you need to ask her what she means?" Empress Dowager Xue was not happy and glared at Li Zhongyi fiercely.

"Mother, why don't you talk about a good family first, and then marry in a beautiful way when Tianya turns eighteen?" Li Zhongyi couldn't resist Empress Dowager Xue, so he had to choose a compromise.

"That's pretty much it." Empress Dowager Xue is actually quite reluctant to be sweet, first set a marriage, and then get married, at least her daughter can stay by her side for four years.

The mother and son reached an agreement, and they were all happy for a while, and each took what he needed.

"It's not too early, I'll go back first, you can rest early." Empress Dowager Xue got up and left satisfied.
