Li Guanqi is still a young man after all, he can't stand the torture of this silence, and the blood vessels in his forehead are already beeping, but the four people in front of him are the humerus ministers he personally selected, although he feels very angry, he still suppresses the anger in his heart, and tries his best to use a calm tone to say to Yang Bozheng: "Yang Aiqing, you are a leader in the literary world, a leader in the academic world, I want to hear your opinion." ”

Li Guanqi deliberately highlighted Yang Bozheng's position as the leader of the literary world, how could Yang Bozheng not hear the dissatisfaction? But he was not nervous, he bowed down and said: "The minister's qualifications are reckless and short-sighted, so he didn't dare to speak to Meng Lang and interfere with the ...... of the saint."

"This is the Imperial Council, just a few of us, so there is no need to have so many kind words. Say your opinion directly. Li Guanqi impatiently interrupted Yang Bozheng.

Yang Bozheng paused for a moment, and then played again: "Since the emperor asked the minister's opinion, then the minister will play boldly." Our dynasty Taizu and Taizong, the heavens are wise, and the establishment of the dynasty system and the program has led to a hundred years of peace and a hundred years of ......glory of the Daqian Dynasty."

"A hundred years of peace? A hundred years of glory? Are you still dreaming about spring and autumn? Li Guanqi couldn't hold back any longer, took the case, and said angrily, "Obviously it is already full of crises and hidden dangers, but what do you dare to say about peace and glory?" Qin Minzhong is here, you ask him, how many taels of silver are there in the treasury now? A year's tax is only 40 million taels, and it can be spent in half a year, which is also called Taiping?

The population of the whole country is only 30 million, and there are 4 million soldiers alone, and the annual military expenditure is as high as 20 million taels. Small battles and small defeats, big battles and big defeats, it is simply a rabble. Is this also called brilliant?

The surrounding powers, all eyeing each other, the imperial court has to swallow the money in exchange for peace, you look through the account book of the account department, the Eastern Turkic currency is 1.25 million taels, the Tubo coin is 800,000 taels, and the Tuyuhun coin is 600,000 taels, which is also peaceful in your eyes? Also brilliant? I think it's a great shame.

There is also a bloated bureaucracy, you Yang Bozheng has also been an official for more than 40 years, I ask you, 40 years ago, how many officials were there in the country? And how many officials are there now? It has quadrupled, but the population of the whole country has not grown, does the imperial court really use so many officials? ”

The emperor was so angry that he dared to sit still as a courtier, and he had already knelt down......

Looking at the four people kneeling in front of him, Li Guanqi was angry and happy, and said with a smile: "It seems that this emperor is really a lonely person, I really didn't expect that all of you would oppose it." ”

"Your Majesty." Zhao Pu spoke, "The minister did not object. ”

The eyes of the four of them immediately turned to Zhao Pu, Li Guanqi was really happy, and said with a smile: "Okay, good." Now it's two to three, not one to four. ”

"Kechen didn't say that he was in favor of changing the law." Zhao Pu came up again.

Li Guanqi kicked his heart, his face turned cold, and he said, "Zhao Pu, are you happy to find me?" ”

Zhao Pu hurriedly lowered his head and said, "The minister doesn't dare." ”

"Then what do you mean by neither approving nor disagreeing? What about abstention? ”

"What the minister means is that since the emperor wants to change the law, he must have already thought about it. Otherwise, it would not be too late for the emperor to talk about the strategy to his ministers first, and then discuss whether it is feasible or not. ”

Li Guanqi realized that he was in a hurry to change the law, and he was already a little short-circuited in his thinking, Zhao Pu said to the point, he hadn't told others how to change, no wonder people didn't agree. At the moment, he smiled and said, "I was actually about to talk about it just now, but it turned into a debate on whether to change the law or not. ”

The four of them said in their hearts, you said it all, but you blamed us, what a scoundrel. But who calls someone the emperor? Listen obediently.

Li Guanqi cleared his throat and said, "I actually understand your worries. Once the change is not successful, it will lead to chaos in the world. Therefore, this change must be planned and then moved, step by step, and there must be no aimless situation of having a headache and a headache.

Therefore, the general program of this reform is to enrich the country, strengthen the army, and benefit the people, and under this program, we must systematically and top-down reform in all aspects of politics, economy, culture, and military. ”

When Qin Minzhong heard this, they all looked at each other unconsciously, they didn't expect that the change that Li Guanqi wanted to make actually contained so many things. Zhao Pu is the most familiar with Li Guanqi, and he knows that this master really has some strange ideas in his stomach, and he is now eager to know what Li Guanqi wants to carry out this change, so he hurriedly said: "Please ask the emperor to explain the new law in detail for his ministers." ”

Li Guanqi said: "There are many new laws of mine, and it is impossible to implement them all at once. So today, let's talk about the political reforms that need to be carried out. ”

After taking a sip of tea, Li Guanqi continued: "If there are no good officials, there is no good law, and if the new law can truly achieve the fundamental purpose of enriching the country, strengthening the army, and benefiting the people, we must first reform the existing official system. Today's dismissal of the three provinces above the court and the establishment of a cabinet is only the first step. ”

…………………………………………………………………………

In order to formulate a reform strategy, Li Guanqi had been holding meetings and discussions with Qin Min and the others during the day, and at night he was alone in the Qinzheng Hall to read the classics and supplement his ideas, and he had to stay up until the second half of the night almost every day. Li Guanqi really felt that he had returned to the days when he lit the lamp and boiled oil for the college entrance examination in his previous life, but he was forced at that time, but now he is active.

Although Li Guanqi is young, he stays up like this every day, and he feels a little unbearable after half a month. After dinner that day, Li Guanqi sat in front of the bookcase and read the "Six Things Improvement Notes" that Zhao Pu had just presented in the afternoon, and looked at it and fell asleep there.

Coincidentally, He Bijun came to the Qinzheng Palace today, and when he saw this, he hurriedly asked people to take a leather robe and put it on Li Guanqi in person. Only then did he turn around and whisper to the palace maids serving in the palace: "That's how you serve the emperor?" It's just the first month, and it's still cold, so let the emperor be so frozen? In case there is a good one, which of you can take care of it? ”

A palace maid who was closer to He Bijun hurriedly choked up and said: "The queen mother forgives her sins, it's not that the slaves don't know how to serve." In fact, the emperor has a strict decree, except for Sister Yue'er, no one in this palace is allowed to be within three meters of the bookcase, and the offender will be executed. ”

It's okay that she didn't mention Yue'er, but when she mentioned Yue'er, He Bijun became even more angry, she was the queen, but the emperor usually lived in the Qinzheng Palace, and she couldn't see the emperor's face if she didn't come. But this month, he has been following Li Guanqi all the time, and he lives in the bed behind the curtain outside Li Guanqi's bedroom, and he doesn't know which bed he slept in at night.

He Bijun has been telling herself, don't be jealous with Yue'er, that would be a loss of the country's demeanor, but there may be women who don't eat in the world, but it's really hard to find a woman who isn't jealous. No matter how much He Bijun deceived herself, it was useless, since she had already fallen in love with Li Guanqi, she would inevitably be full of hostility towards the other women around Li Guanqi.

Therefore, the palace maid's words made He Bijun forget that there was still a sleeping emperor behind him, and immediately turned into a Hedong lion and roared: "You don't take Yue'er out as a shield, I just want to ask where that girl died?" The emperor just had dinner and didn't come to serve. ”
