Chapter 177: The Interests of the Imperial Family

The Yang family and Queen Yang can be said to be two grasshoppers on the same rope, one is prosperous and the other is lost.

Whether Empress Yang's position in the palace is stable or not is closely related to the interests of the Yang family and is tied together.

Therefore, the Yang family is very much in favor of Empress Yang's plan, as long as the emperor can no longer be infatuated with Concubine Xiao, take Jin Cairen back to the palace from Ganye Temple, let her grow her hair and return to the world, and stay by Empress Yang's side as a maid, she can definitely redeem Empress Yang's lost grace in front of the emperor.

Two women against a Concubine Xiao, if they can still lose, then there is really nothing to say, except for accepting fate, they can only accept this reality.

Under the operation of the Yang family, Empress Yang went out of the palace for the reason of petitioning for incense, drove to Ganye Temple, and secretly summoned Jin Cairen.

The two were alone in the room, what did they talk about? No one knows, only that when Jin Cairen left, his demeanor was very relaxed, and he even had a smile on his face, and he chose to meet and chat with the two, and they got along very well.

Empress Yang is still quite satisfied with Jin Cairen's performance, and when it comes to how to deal with Concubine Xiao, who is favored by the emperor, Jin Cairen is very confident.

With her talent and Emperor Li Ke's obsession with her, as long as I am given a chance to return to the palace, she is really not afraid to compete with that woman.

Although Empress Yang looked down on her very much, Jin Cairen was a woman of His Majesty the Emperor, but she hooked up with the current emperor and the son of His Majesty the Emperor.

But none of this matters now, the important thing is to deal with the concubine Xiao in the palace first, as for whether Jin Cairen will become the second concubine Xiao and endanger her status as the queen, Empress Yang has not thought about it at all.

In Empress Yang's heart, the identity and status of Jin Cairen could not endanger her status at all.

No matter how much the emperor likes Jin Cairen and loves Jin Cairen, he can only like it secretly in the dark, in the Tang Dynasty, which governs the country with benevolence and filial piety, the emperor does not dare to risk the disapproval of the world and openly be with the woman of His Majesty the Emperor, let alone give her identity and status, canonize the woman of His Majesty the Emperor, and be her own concubine, let alone become the queen of the world.

Jin Cairen just wants to return to the palace now, and as for replacing Empress Yang's position, he doesn't have the heart to think about it for the time being.

The queen is the master of the harem, and with the protection of Empress Yang, the benefits for her to return to the palace cannot be better, and sometimes it is even better than the emperor's protection of her.

Under the instruction of the Yang family, Ganye Temple destroyed all the information about Jin Cairen, which means that Jin Cairen never appeared in Ganye Temple.

Jin Wushuang grew his hair in the Ganye Temple, during which he did everything possible to meet the emperor Li Ke, this feeling of sneaking to meet, so that Li Ke, as the emperor, felt particularly exciting, every time they met, they must have been entangled with Jin Wushuang for a long time, and they tasted all kinds of love moves.

In order to win Li Ke's favor, Jin Wushuang really worked hard, because she knew that this was the only chance for her to change her fate.

Three months later, Jin Wushuang quietly hid in Empress Yang's sedan chair, entered the palace again, and became a maid beside Empress Yang.

Jin Wushuang's hair is not very long, and it stands to reason that he is not suitable for entering the palace in such a hurry.

But she couldn't wait any longer, because she had already conceived an emperor's son in her belly, so she had to enter the palace immediately.

This accident made Queen Yang very uncomfortable, but at this point, she had no choice but to take her into the palace in advance according to the plan.

Fortunately, Jin Wushuang did not disappoint her, since Jin Wushuang entered the palace, the emperor stayed in Empress Yang's bedroom almost every day.

Jin Wushuang knew that she couldn't offend Empress Yang now, and she was also pregnant, so it was not suitable to sleep with the emperor, and she attached great importance to the child in her womb. Because this is the best guarantee that she can stay in the palace in the future and get the name she deserves.

Therefore, Jin Wushuang tried his best to say some good things about Empress Yang in front of Emperor Li Ke, and persuaded him to be kind to Empress Yang and not to hurt Empress Yang's heart.

Li Ke recalled that when Empress Yang just married him, how the two lived, and Empress Yang's experience of giving birth to children for him, he deeply felt that after he became the emperor, he was indeed a little too alienated from Empress Yang, which was really a little too undeserved.

And after Queen Yang learned about his relationship with Jin Wushuang, not only did she not stop and make trouble, but instead tried her best to help them and actively create conditions for him and Jin Wushuang to be together.

Emperor Li Luo felt that he should not continue to treat Empress Yang indifferently because of his feelings.

Under the intention of Emperor Li Ke to make up for it, the relationship between the two heated up rapidly, as if they had returned to the time of the newlywed Yan'er.

And Concubine Xiao, of course, was left out in the cold, Emperor Li Ke, for almost more than a month, had not stayed in her dormitory, which was absolutely impossible before.

With the strong support of Emperor Li Ke, Li Zhonghua carried out drastic reforms in all aspects of the imperial and political system, and the speed was rapid and the results were good.

The reform of the local government system has touched the interests of many royal families, because many places are in fact fiefs of members of the imperial family, and even many founding fathers also have fiefdoms, such as those who have been awarded titles for meritorious service, that is, Li Zhonghua himself, also have fiefdoms.

But in Li Zhonghua's political reform, all princes and nobles will cancel their fiefs, even the food estates.

People in the royal family can enjoy privileges, but the privileges can only be received every month, and a sum of money allocated by the imperial court ensures that the people in the royal family can live a relatively prosperous life without worrying about food and clothing.

But it's just that you can live a relatively wealthy life, but it's impossible to spend a lot of money.

The privileges of the royal family also included the right to enjoy free education, free medical care, and preferential treatment.

After all, the royal family is a royal family, and no matter how much Li Zhonghua reforms, it is impossible not to let the royal family have no privileges at all.

As for the founding heroes, those who have positions receive monthly salaries, as well as various allowances.

Those who do not have a position can also enjoy retirement benefits and receive a retirement salary every month.

The imperial court encouraged the development of private commerce, and the families of officials also allowed them to do business, and the imperial court vigorously developed a number of state-owned enterprises, such as accelerating the development of the central bank of the Tang Dynasty, and promoting the economic development of the entire Datang.

The establishment of the Datang Central Daily, increase the imperial court's propaganda efforts on various work, the establishment of the Datang Postal Department, the issuance of Datang stamps, make full use of the post stations all over the Datang, the transmission of civil letters, and the collection of reasonable fees, the Datang Salt Administration, the development and operation of the monopoly of Datang's salt.

Local governments can also develop their own local economy and set up some local enterprises according to the actual local conditions.

All in all, what Li Zhonghua has to do is to break the old system and establish a new order.

This kind of reform cannot be smooth sailing, nor can it be achieved overnight, and it will take time to advance slowly.

In order to distract the ministers of the DPRK and China, Li Zhonghua had to throw out some things about these reforms, which could hardly attract everyone's attention.

First of all, it is still the problem of Goguryeo and Baekje, Li Zhonghua feels that it is also time to completely solve Goguryeo and Baekje, and the new emperor who has just succeeded to the throne also needs to have a good political achievement to show his authority as an emperor.

Just imagine, Yang Guang, the Yang Emperor of the Sui Dynasty in the previous dynasty, conquered Goguryeo three times and was defeated.

His Majesty the Emperor personally conquered Goguryeo, although it was not a failure, but at least it did not subdue Goguryeo.

For the next three years, His Majesty the First Emperor sent troops to attack Goguryeo every year, but Goguryeo was still there.

If the new emperor now completely solves the problem of Gojili as soon as he sends troops, and directly destroys Goguryeo and Baekje, what a great achievement it is, and it is destined to go down in history!

At that time, whether it is the ministers of the court or a small country on the frontier, who will dare to have any dissatisfaction with the new emperor, and who will dare to be disrespectful to the new emperor?

Once the new emperor has majesty and domineering, he can intimidate the ministers of the court and make all the small border countries awe, which is of great significance to Li Zhonghua's reform and his subsequent plans.

Emperor Li Ke listened to Li Zhonghua's suggestion and deeply agreed with it in his heart.

Because he really felt that he needed to use some merits to prove that he could not only be a good emperor, but in some ways, even better than his father.
