The new regime announced that it would remain the same, and the titles and official titles enjoyed by the former princes and marquises, ministers, and ministers remained the same, but in fact, except for changing the country name and year name, even the people in it were still the same people. One night, Xue Chongxun somehow suddenly remembered a book by Lu Xun, after the revolution, the county magistrate shaved his head and changed his name to the county magistrate, but who used to sit on that chair and who sat it later. Now the newly established Jin Dynasty is almost like that, and the Nanya bureaucrats basically did not move; There have been some adjustments in armament, and the North Yaban Military Office has not changed, but the Yulin Army is no longer stationed in Xuanwumen, and the North Palace is transferred by the Shence Army.

The former emperor Li Chengning moved out of the Daming Palace, and the family lived in the Jinyuanfang in the northeast corner of Chang'an City, where most of his dozens of brothers and sisters also lived. That place is not trivial to build carved buildings and paintings, living and playing pleasure is not much worse than Daming Palace, civilian residences are all "moved" out, in addition to building a large number of terraces and courtyards, it is the landscape garden is very picturesque and very beautiful.

In fact, the sons and daughters of King Li Shouli have profited from the political turmoil in the past few years, except for Li Shouli and his eldest son who were involved in a palace rebellion and died unexplained, the lives of dozens of other people are much better than before. If there is no turmoil that lasts for several years, after the same Gaozong, Zhongzong Ruizong ascended the throne before and after, especially after Ruizong united with Princess Taiping to destroy the Wei family who intended to usurp power, Ruizong's lineage has already restored the normal order of succession, and there is nothing to do with Li Shouli, the king of Xuan, Li Shouli is the grandson of Gaozong, but compared with the Li Longji brothers who are active in Chang'an, they are side branches, and it is generally not his turn. When Li Shouli was doing the history of Youzhou Assassin, because of his large family and many children, and he did not do his job properly by eating, drinking, and having fun all day long, his staff advised many of his children to develop the habit of frugality, so as not to make the younger generations too miserable. Obviously, at that time, the interests of their family's fiefdom were not enough, and the lives of those dozens of children in the future became a problem; But now he can enjoy the wealth and lust, as the prince and princess of the previous emperor, the luxurious life is paid for by the treasury.

Xue Chongxun and his party naturally can't be mean to them, otherwise other ministers can't say that the princes are like that, what protection do the people below us have?

So how everyone lived before, how do they live now. But the problem is not something that can be solved by leaving it as it is.

In the last great court of the first year of Tianbao, Xue Chongxun and Princess Taiping accepted the congratulations of hundreds of officials in Hanyuan Palace, at this time he found that his group of henchmen were actually ranked last, as if this was the result of their special permission to go to the court, otherwise according to the rank of those officials of the pro-kingdom shogunate, they would not even have the qualifications to go to the court.

Xue Chongxun sat there and didn't mention it, but he was thinking in his heart: Those people who made plans to put themselves on the throne had made great contributions, and it was reasonable that they should not be treated like this. Except for Liu An, Du Xian and other people who were originally born, other ministers who have been in the pro-kingdom have no place in the court.

However, those positions with real power have long been occupied, and the imperial court has just stated that it will maintain the status quo, and it is impossible to say one thing and do another to replace people. Commend Erling and others for their meritorious service, and knighthood is not given real power? Xue Chongxun felt that after living in the palace, he would be more and more distant from the people he had before, and it was always bad to have no confidants around him.

So he felt that the matter was a bit difficult, so he didn't bring it up lightly. Fortunately, most of those who came from the pro-kingdom still have the cultivation of scholars, and they are not in a hurry to complain.

At the time of the Great Dynasty, Xue Chongxun was sitting on the throne in the middle, and Princess Taiping was in the same court, but he sat in a higher position in the back. However, Xue Chongxun was not dissatisfied, and he also invited Princess Taiping to come to the court. On such an occasion with a large number of participants, except for a series of etiquette, no one discussed anything serious, and no one even mentioned the military affairs of the Western Regions, only Zhang of the Political Affairs Hall said that at the end of the year, officials were on vacation, and there were etiquette matters such as fire prevention in the market at the end of the year, and there were etiquette performances by envoys from various countries. Xue Chongxun had just ascended the throne, and several vassal states had already written to congratulate their ministers, perhaps in their eyes, there was no difference at all whether the Central Plains Dynasty was the Li family or the Xue family.

After Princess Taiping returned to Beijing, she still lived in the original Chengxiang Palace, and Xue Chongxun's residence in the Penglai Palace, which was the palace where Li Chengning lived before. Penglai Hall is located on the central axis of the palace is in line with the identity of the Son of Heaven, located in the south bank of the Taiye Pond, the north of the Zichen Hall in the inner dynasty, which is close to the beautiful scenery along the Taiye Pond and is convenient to play, belongs to the harem area, and is close to the southern court, which is convenient to contact with the courtiers, which can be described as a good location in the palace. This is actually not a house but a building complex, Xue Chongxun's newly crowned queen Li Yan'er also lives in the same place, according to the scale of the building here, even if Xue Chongxun's harem is expanded ten times, they can all be placed in one place, the palace building left by the Tang Dynasty is characterized by large, and the place is very wide. In this era, productivity is low, but people are obsessed with architecture, as far as Xue Chongxun thinks, the palace of Daming Palace is more than several times larger than the Forbidden City he saw in his previous life.

He used to attend dinner at his mother's and stayed in the palace, but at that time he was not used to the too spacious bedrooms in the palace, and he did not rest well; Now Xue Chongxun is still not used to it. Somehow, he always felt very insecure to sleep in a house like this.

The sleeping palace was bigger than the living room, and although there were all kinds of furniture and decorations in it, Xue Chongxun still felt that it was empty, as if it was a curtain of heaven and earth, and it was like a qiē under the surveillance of others, and he couldn't completely relax his feelings. Under such psychological effects, he couldn't sleep in bed. After tossing and turning for a long time, he found that there were palace maids on duty standing aside at night, and he didn't know these people and felt very uncomfortable, so he sat up and ordered: "You all go out, I know to call you if there is something." The palace maids obediently obeyed and carefully left Xue Chongxun's bedroom.

But he still couldn't sleep, there was no one in the house, but because it was too big, he always felt that there were people. Xue Chongxun, who has always been very good physically and mentally, had a rare insomnia, and after turning over a few times, he said in his heart: Could it be that my heart is not open enough, and I am like a villain?

In any case, Xue Chongxun instead missed his life in the Jin Palace, surrounded by acquaintances, and the place was only so big, and it felt very relaxing to be able to let go of all his troubles as soon as he went back. And now I can't even sleep, and I still have in my mind all kinds of pretended walking postures and gestures during the day, all of which are pretended, such as holding up my chest and holding a ribbon to take away the figure-eight steps, which is really tired and panicked.

He is not used to his new identity, just as the world is not used to the new dynasty now, and still does things according to the previous way.

There are also strange palace maids serving beside him, although they all look very obedient in a low voice, but they are also living people, they will have a certain opinion on everything, and Xue Chongxun can't do whatever he wants at home. He said in his heart: Tomorrow I have to ask someone to go back and pick up a few girls from the family, I am still not used to people who are not familiar with strange places.

And right now, in Penglai Palace, in addition to Li Yan'er, there is only Sanniang who is the old man of the Jin Palace, and now it is the middle of the night, he is not good to find Li Yan'er, and besides, he has no thoughts in such an environment that makes him insecure. I couldn't sleep left and right and was dizzy, so Xue Chongxun called the palace maid who had just been called out again, and ordered: "Go and find Sanniang, I have something to tell her." ”

Unexpectedly, Sanniang came quickly, and after a while, she came into the dormitory dressed neatly, and Xue Chongxun suspected that she hadn't slept at all. She walked over and hugged her fists and said, "What does Lang Jun command?" ”

Xue Chongxun noticed that she had never changed her name for herself, but it was nothing, Xue Chongxun had not called herself a widow or a widow since he ascended the throne unless he was in the temple. Sanniang's voice is still like that, a little hoarse and cold, but her dress, words and deeds have changed a lot. Now she no longer wears the green fabric like a night gown before, which may be more integrated into the night at night, but the people who are active during the day are different from ordinary people, so she is now dressed very popularly, and the light green lapel robe and hood on her body now make her look like a female official in the palace. Her skin was still very pale, and she didn't look luster, far worse than the court ladies who were as smooth as fat, and even less ruddy than the complexion of the common people in the market, and her breasts that were slightly propped up did not have the allure of those half-exposed breasts, plus the uninteresting ornaments and dresses, anyway, there was not much femininity.

found Sanniang, Xue Chongxun didn't have anything to say, mainly had nothing to say to Sanniang, so he looked at her dress and asked casually, "You haven't slept yet?" ”

Sanniang stood there and didn't move, probably when Xue Chongxun said a nonsense and was too lazy to talk, usually like this, she didn't care about any courtesy.

In the face of such a person, Xue Chongxun couldn't talk about his heart or anything even if he wanted to talk about it on a whim. It's a pity that this quiet night, the gorgeous palace of lonely men and widows, and the warm candles with good smells of incense. was awkwardly silent for a while, Sanniang still didn't say anything, she seemed to think that the cold field was normal to get along with people, and it was very strange to talk about it.

The slaves and maids on duty in the dormitory were all taken away by Xue Chongxun, and there were only two of them in the huge room, although they didn't say anything, but it was amazing that Xue Chongxun felt that it was much better to have a reliable person standing by his side. He said: "Today, in the last court, Wang Shaobo Su Shilang and they are ranked last, and there is no proper vacancy in the court, and I am having a headache about how to deal with this matter. ”

Sanniang looked at him expressionlessly, as if Xue Chongxun was saying that there was no such nonsense after eating. If this were to be changed to someone else, he would definitely say what a virtuous lady should say about not interfering in the affairs of the state.

Xue Chongxun paused and saw that she didn't mean to speak, so he asked boringly, "What do you think should be done?" ”

At this time, Sanniang said unexpectedly: "Isn't it okay for Lang Jun to add a few more official positions, could it be that Lang Jun called me here to ask about state affairs?" ”G
