Chapter 38 deals with court affairs

"There are many of them who are members of the Li family, including Wang Jingzhi, the husband of Princess Nanping, and others." Wu Meiniang said lightly.

"There is no need to be appeased, since you have offended, you should be punished, I have already said a few years ago, since these people knowingly committed crimes, they should not blame me for not giving them mercy, you can watch and deal with it! They will never be tolerated forever, and the law they have broken will be published in the newspapers for all the people to see. Li Shen said lightly.

For these people who control the power class, they are accustomed to using the power in their hands to oppress the people, and it is simply impossible to make them make a one-time radical change.

Li Shen wants to change the Tang Dynasty peacefully, but these people always touch the law again and again, and more often with a fluke heart, to test him.

They thought that Li Shen would not deal with them, or just like Wang Jingzhi, relying on his royal status, he would not forgive their sins, but they didn't know that what Li Shen wanted was for them to make a mistake and make an example of them, so that all the people in the empire would understand that even if they were royal people, they would be dealt with by the law if they violated the law.

"Wang Jingzhi's fault is relatively big, according to the law, even ten deaths are not enough, but where is Princess Nanping?" Wu Meiniang said with a frown.

Many of Wang Jingzhi's mistakes were committed in the past, and many of them are committed now, and the relationship between Princess Nanping and Li Shen is not bad, which is also where Wu Meiniang hesitated.

In addition, all the magnates of the entire empire, who did not break the law in their hands.

"Deal with it according to law, you don't need to say anything, just take the girl from Nanping to Chang'an City, and these things don't need to be tolerated." Li Shen said coldly.

Wu Meiniang nodded slightly, and said: "In this case, the concubine will do what you want, but this holy decree is still up to you, so that the concubine will not be hated." Princess Nanping will arrange to take her to Chang'an City at that time, as for explaining it, you can go and tell her. ”

Li Shen let out a "hmm".

Nowadays, with the reform of the entire court, as an emperor, there are really a lot fewer things to deal with, basically everything is assigned to each part, and there is a head of each department to deal with, and the things that cannot be handled are handed over to Ma Zhou, and Ma Zhou can't handle it, and then it is handed over to Wu Meiniang and Li Shen to deal with.

"These are the current situation of the reform in various places, which is the situation of compulsory education for children in various places, and the propaganda is still not in place, and the situation of girls going to school, according to statistics, can only account for a little more than 40%. In addition, this is the situation of marriage in various places, encouraging those young women who have lost their husbands to marry, it is still not possible, there are not many at all, including the situation of groups of wives and concubines in various places, although the law has been promulgated, but many people are still worried that they will be persecuted, and still choose to endure it. Wu Meiniang moved the stacks of pieces on the table to Li Shen and said lightly.

Li Shen scratched his head, looked at Wu Meiniang with a smile on her face a little helplessly, and said: "You can just look at these things, but you really can't force them to deal with them, besides, you didn't get this marriage protection law, what are you doing with it?" ”

"The concubine is just talking to you, how to say these things are also related to the foundation of the empire, you can't always have the concubine to deal with everything, you can't do nothing as the emperor, right?" Wu Meiniang said.

The surrounding ministers lowered their heads and couldn't help but laugh in a low voice.

Li Shen reached out and touched his nose a little embarrassed, he really rarely dealt with the affairs of the court, basically just said let them deal with it, it was Wu Meiniang who took the idea more, anyway, she was also used to doing these things, Li Shen was also happy to be a little more relaxed, and said: "I can preside over the overall situation, you should deal with these things, you can do it yourself!" Compulsory teaching does not allow anyone or family to hinder it. ”

"Yes! But you also know what kind of life the people are doing, and they are still counting on their children to help them, and it is obviously impossible for you to let them all go to school for school. Wu Meiniang said with a sigh.

Li Shen nodded slightly, not to mention now, it is a modern rural area, many poor families have many children, some of them are not at home after two years of school, and there are not a few people who go out to work around twelve or thirteen, and the nine-year obligation system has started since the founding of the country, but what about the implementation? So far, many places still can't popularize it, otherwise they will charge all kinds of sundries in disguise, and as a whole, it is better to go to school with teaching fees.

There are too many things to face in the reform, how to say it is to cross the river by feeling the stones, the suffering can be imagined, and the road taken is also different from that of modern times, the implementation of the imperial system, the laws that need to be amended, etc., are a huge project, including all the infrastructure, scientific research work, and so on.

Without ten or twenty years, it is difficult for Datang to enter the formal track, and after ten or twenty years, those who have grown up in the school can implement various reforms more quickly.

It's like a change of the law, in which when they write a new law, they are more oriented to their own rights, if it is not vetoed by Li Shen, in fact, the law is still the same as in the past, but it is just a snake to draw a full picture.

There are really a lot of official duties piled up, and no matter how you say it, you can't let Wu Meiniang handle it alone, Li Shen also began to help deal with it, but he also knew that the things he dealt with were all based on his personal concepts, even if he handled it, Wu Meiniang still had to review it in the end.

Even so, at least it can reduce a lot of the burden on Wu Meiniang, feel free to take a look, and modify the wrong places.

Although there is now a time limit for officials in the DPRK and China to go to work, more often than not, they still need to work overtime to get the matter at hand done.

The sky began to darken unconsciously, Li Shen reached out and rubbed his waist, took a sip of the tea on the table, and exhaled slightly, this is really not something that people can do for a whole day sitting here.
