The inspection in Lingnan Road lasted for ten days, Li Rupei went to the two docks, and also to Nanzhao and Annan, the officials stationed in these would never have thought that His Royal Highness King Fu came in person, it should be said that there is still a certain danger in this place of Nanzhao, but His Royal Highness King Fu still came to visit many officials, which made everyone very moved.

After leaving Lingnan Road, Li Rupei went to Qianzhong Road and Jiannan Road to inspect Feibei, and it should be said that the work of renovating the official road was progressing very smoothly, the enthusiasm of the merchants, the common people, and the peasant households was very high, the quality and speed of the road repair were fully guaranteed, and the renovation of the official road was completed in three months without any problems.

Of course, the renovation of the official road is only the first step, after this model of road repair is recognized, the next Nanfang Road Daxingtai will renovate and build more roads, only when the traffic is smooth, can it really benefit the people.

Back in Xiangyang, it was already the beginning of November, and Li Rupei's inspection lasted for more than a month.

Along the way, Li Rupei was thinking about what Cui Shenyou said, because of some practical reasons, Li Rupei really couldn't categorically refuse, but he was unwilling to accept this kind of hijacking by famous families.

At the same time, Li Rupei also has to think about the tranquility of the palace, there are more women in the palace, and there must be more things, not to mention the two people who are married, but they are both girls from famous families, with the support of the family and clan behind them, will the palace be unpeaceful from now on, if such a situation may occur, then Li Rupei would rather offend the Fan Yang Lu family and the Taiyuan Wang family, and will never marry the girls of the two families.

Li Rupei knew that after returning to Xiangyang, Cui Anqian would definitely talk about this matter.

But he didn't expect that after returning to the palace, the first person to talk about this matter was Cui Hanlei.

Cui Hanlei is very good at choosing the time, when to rest. Speaking of the Fanyang Lu clan and the Taiyuan Wang clan, when Cui Hanlei was carefully talking about the two famous families, Li Rupei couldn't open his mouth crying and laughing.

"Madam, are you going to admonish your husband to continue to marry the side room, and it is the girl of the Fan Yang Lu family and the Taiyuan Wang family, the girls of the two major families, they must be very prominent and excellent."

Cui Hanlei blushed all of a sudden, after all, she persuaded Li Rupei to take a concubine. I was reprimanded.

"The concubine wanted to persuade her husband, but she didn't dare to speak, and the concubine still remembers her husband's reprimand."

Looking at Cui Hanlei's aggrieved appearance, Li Rupei smiled.

"Could it be that Madame thinks that the more women in the palace, the better."

"Nonsense, the concubine body doesn't mean this, it's just that the situation of the Lu family and the Wang family is different."

"Madam, you know what you think, and you are for a certain cause. However, you are not very clear about the idea of so-and-so, if possible, so-and-so may be the only one by his side. It's not Yanagishita Hui, who can not be moved when she sees beauty, which must be told the truth in front of Mrs., otherwise outsiders think that a certain monk is reincarnated. However, XX's energy is limited, and there are many women around him, so he can't care about it. When the situation of favoring one over the other appears, a certain person can't bear it, and a certain person has a special experience, and these ladies all know that a certain person does not want to see a woman suffer, let alone watch the women around him suffer. ”

When Li Rupei said this, he felt cold on his belly, which turned out to be Cui Hanlei's tears.

Li Rupei patted Cui Hanlei's fair shoulder.

"Alright, don't be sad, ma'am."

Cui Hanlei, who wiped away her tears, raised her head to look at Li Rupei, and spoke with a serious expression.

"The husband is all for the family, and the concubine is even more unselfish, there are already rumors around, saying that the concubine is a jealous woman, and the husband is not allowed to have other women around him, these words and rumors that the concubine can bear it, but the husband would rather be wronged for the sake of the family, and the concubine is unwilling, and the concubine really hopes that the husband will marry the girl of the Lu family and the Wang family."

The wife persuaded her men to marry more women, this seems to be an incredible thing, but it actually appeared, and it was willing, this is probably the difference of the times, if it is a thousand years later, men dream of it, such a thing happens, the family has already been turned upside down, Li Rupei doesn't know how to answer, but he doesn't want to talk about this matter for the time being.

Cui Hanlei is his wife of chaff, although Cui Hanlei is very beautiful and cannot be described as chaff, but no matter what she does, Cui Hanlei is from his Li Rupei's point of view, to put it mildly, Cui Hanlei does not want to be the queen's mother, as long as he Li Rupei can be safe, Cui Hanlei is the happiest.

If you marry a wife like this, what more can a husband ask for?

After dawn, Li Rupei, who had finished packing, was ready to go to Daxingtai Mansion, he was a little frightened, and when he arrived at Daxingtai Mansion and saw Cui Anqian, I am afraid that he would have to talk about this matter, Cui Hanlei's attitude must have something to do with Cui Anqian.

Cui Anqian put down the matter at hand and waited for Li Rupei in Daxingtai Mansion early in the morning.

Li Rupei also arrived at Daxingtai Mansion very early.

After the two met, the first thing they talked about was the lack of government personnel at all levels, and Cui Anqian rushed to Huainan, Jiangnan East and Jiangnan West to inspect this time, and also discovered this problem.

It is very difficult for the government at all levels to increase the number of personnel, because the officials are under unified jurisdiction, and they are all the expenses of the government, and the requirements of the Daxing Taiwan government for officials are almost the same, they are all very strict, and the officials can also be directly promoted to officials through outstanding performance, which is different from before, so the selection and use of officials at all levels must also be cautious, and those with bad conduct and weak ability will not be used.

What the south lacks most now is talent, and some officials once suggested whether or not to lower the requirements for the hiring of junior officials, but Li Rupei resolutely disagreed, and he did not allow such discussions to appear again.

Li Rupei and Cui Anqian discussed for a long time, and the final decision was to implore the imperial court to open Enke in Xiangyang again and recruit a large number of talents through the method of taking scholars through the imperial examination.

Other matters were quickly discussed, including the renovation of the official road, which went smoothly and there was nothing more to say.

Just when Li Rupei thought that he was just talking about business today, Cui Anqian's face changed and became very serious.

"Lord, the eldest brother Cui Shen has written a letter, talking about the words of the prince, after knowing these words, there are a lot of feelings, the prince's broad-mindedness is rare in the world, I believe that under the governance of the prince, the Tang Dynasty will be able to enter the prosperous era and create unprecedented glory."

"Father-in-law, don't say these flattering words, are you thinking about Fan Yang Lu and Taiyuan Wang."

Li Rupei was very helpless, Cui Anqian, Cui Shenyou and Cui Hanlei all talked about it, it can be seen that Qinghe Cui's family is also under a lot of pressure, otherwise it would not be so urgent.

"I know that the prince is clean and self-conscious, and what he works all day long is the affairs of the Tang Dynasty, but I think that the affairs of the Fan Yang Lu family and the Taiyuan Wang family are also involved in the world of the Tang Dynasty."

"First, the five surnames of the Tang Dynasty are Qiwang and the four surnames of Hedong, and the style of the door is rigorous, which has a great influence in the Tang Dynasty, and the Qinghe Cui family is fortunate to be one of them, which is the result of the efforts of the ancestors, and a certain must also hold the rigorous style of the Cui family, and is never willing to let the Cui family decline in the hands of a certain or the eldest brother, and is not willing to be attacked and excluded by other famous families in Qinghe."

"Second, the ambition of the prince is the world of the Tang Dynasty, so it is inevitable to embrace all rivers, not to mention the five surnames and seven wangs, and the four surnames of Hedong, just to say that other ordinary families with extraordinary abilities are also to be absorbed, this is an inevitable thing, just the assistance of the Qinghe Cui family, or the assistance of the Xingyang Zheng family, the strength is not enough, after all, the children of famous families, the majority of the excellent, and the talents who can be absorbed are also the majority."

"The prince should remember Enke in Xiangyang, among the famous families, the Qinghe Cui clan and the Xingyang Zheng clan sent a lot of children to participate, and the rest of the famous families did not have many children involved, at that time, a certain cause of alarm."

"Third, the influence of the famous family should not be underestimated, they have extended to the elite class of the Tang Dynasty, forming their own inherent power, these forces can even affect the ordinary people, the understanding of the famous family is also changing, they will not reject the powerful, on the contrary, they need to rely on the powerful, in order to be able to develop better."

"The three reasons stated by a certain are all no exaggeration, if the prince refuses the request of the Fan Yang Lu clan and the Taiyuan Wang clan, it will lead to the isolation of the Qinghe Cui clan, and the southern province Daxing Taifu will not be able to absorb enough talents, and the prince will also encounter a lot of problems in the future when he controls the world of the Tang Dynasty. If the prince agrees to the request of the Fan Yang Lu clan and the Taiyuan Wang clan, then the famous families are relieved, and from now on, they will definitely follow the prince and do their best. ”

Cui Anqian said more profoundly.

In fact, Li Rupei thought of all these problems, if there are many historical summaries, the influence of famous families is indeed very large, and this situation has continued until the Ming Dynasty and is still prominent.

However, Li Rupei is still thinking about that question, if Fan Yang Lu and Taiyuan Wang put forward a request, he would have agreed, then there are also the four surnames of Boling Cui and Hedong, do they also make such a request, then their own women, what kind of women they are, are all a combination of famous families.

Before Li Rupei could speak, Cui Anqian spoke again.

"I also thought about it for the prince, if the famous families put forward such a request, the prince would be unbearable, but he agreed to the request of the Fanyang Lu family and the Taiyuan Wang family, and the five surnames and seven wangs gathered around the prince were basically encircled, and the four surnames of Hedong did not dare to continue to make demands, so it would be coercing the prince, and they knew the consequences of doing so."

"What my father-in-law means, uniting the majority can hit a very small minority, thinking about it is really ruthless, this matter, think about it carefully, and it can't be said that the Lu family and the Wang family put forward a request, and a certain can't wait to agree."

Cui Anqian's eyes lit up, not knowing what to think. (To be continued......)
