Chapter 359: Forceful Admonition
In the face of a lot of twists and turns, Li Rupei really feels a headache, almost every day to face countless twists and turns, it turns out that the hard-working emperor is such a treatment, no wonder many emperors will choose to escape, choose to enjoy, it seems that this emperor is really not so good, when he was in Xiangyang before, many specific things, Li Rupei didn't need to worry about it at all, but now it doesn't work, when the political hall is deliberating, many prime ministers put forward suggestions together, that is, it involves major matters in the Tang Dynasty, and it needs to be discussed by the political hall. The emperor made a decision, and the emperor also needed to know about other things, which made Li Rupei fall into the sea of Wenshan and Huihai, and it was rare to have free time.
In addition, Li Rupei has not been on the throne for a long time, too many specific things need to be dealt with, the so-called everything is difficult at the beginning, it is certainly not so easy at the beginning, and it is necessary to endure hardships, otherwise many military affairs will be considered at the beginning, and other specific government affairs will be dealt with below, which will also make the Chinese military minister of the DPRK think that the emperor is slacking off and enjoying himself.
Li Rupei's own rules, that is, let the ministers have to give advice, in view of the shortcomings in the court, put forward opinions and suggestions, whether they are correct or not, it does not matter, and when the political hall discusses things, the relevant officials must participate, must put forward opinions and suggestions, of course, these suggestions must have sufficient reasons.
Other suggestions are related to the world of the Tang Dynasty, for example, many ministers have put forward, the only army in the Tang Dynasty can only be the iron-blooded army, the number and establishment are all unified, the iron-blooded army's generals, generals, deputy generals and generals, the adjustment must go through the emperor, the adjustment of the officers under the generals, after passing the military department, it also needs to be reported to the political affairs hall, which is obviously to strengthen the emperor's control over the army. There are also people who propose to play a fold, the general of the Iron Army. It must be adjusted in a timely manner, a certain general should not be stationed for too long, and the imperial court must adjust the general's station at any time, etc.
These twists and turns made Li Rupei feel that in fact, there are still many capable ministers in the court, but they are forced by the situation to show their abilities, and they are in the same stream and go with the flow, which is in line with Emperor Taizong's words, Jun is the source. The minister is the stream, the source is turbid but the downstream is required to be clear, that is impossible, you must be upright, to govern the world with sincerity, in order to be able to gather talents around.
However, there are also twists and turns that give Li Rupei a headache, that is, the twists and turns about the harem, although there are not many such twists and turns, but they hit the point. directly talked about the possible impact on the queen's mother.
It has been more than three months since Li Rupei ascended the throne, the capital has completely stabilized, and many things are being implemented in an orderly manner, such as the trade between Chang'an and Luoyang. In the shortest possible time, a large number of merchants went to Chang'an and Luoyang, and even many overseas merchants entered the capital. Shops began to be set up in the capital, and prosperity quickly began to appear, and so on. The matter of the harem was brought up.
Li Rupei's side only six women, a queen, five ladies, the rest is gone, some ministers put forward suggestions, saying that the emperor's harem, not in line with the etiquette of the Tang Dynasty, the nine concubines under the lady, Jieyu, beauty, talent, Baolin, the royal maid and the maid, etc., since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, the prosperity of the harem represents the prosperity of the court, the prosperity of the country, so the emperor must pay attention to the affairs of the harem.
Li Rupei doesn't know where these bastards come from, although he has become the emperor, but he also knows that the emperor's energy is limited, so many women around him, it is impossible to take care of them, and now the six women can't bear it, not to mention the so-called eighty-one imperial wives, that's pure nonsense, what does the emperor want so many women for.
But Li Rupei's truths cannot be clearly stated, that may cause an uproar, the times are different, you say monogamy, it is estimated that it is a troublemaker.
Queen Cui Hanlei also mentioned this matter, Li Rupei often used the reason that he was busy with government affairs, and he was vague, and he didn't expect that the ministers in the court also raised this matter, Li Rupei didn't want to reply, and often withheld it.
When the seven prime ministers entered the Zichen Palace, Li Rupei couldn't help but complain first.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I am working so hard, I think you are working even harder, it seems that this matter of government affairs is going to implement a hierarchical responsibility system, I have already proposed it, I can't imagine that you are all opposed, Shangshu Province, Zhongshu Province, Menxia Province, and Yushitai, their respective responsibilities are clear, then they must be really responsible, everything has come to me, I really can't bear it, I am impatient with these trivial things, you have been by my side for so many years, you should know."
Cui Anqian and Zheng Congyan looked at the folds piled up on the imperial case, lowered their heads and did not speak, the political hall has a meeting almost every day, and there are too many things to discuss, let alone the emperor.
However, Liu Yunzhang spoke at this time.
"Your Majesty's words, the ministers have different opinions."
"Elder Liu Ge, if you have any different views, just say it directly."
"The minister is brave, His Majesty wants to create the prosperous Tang Dynasty, must be exhausted, now His Majesty works hard every day, and the ministers below do not dare to delay at all, the minister has heard to complain to the minister, there are too many things every day, and the government hall is strict, all the things that need to be dealt with that day, must not be delayed, otherwise they will be punished, those who complain about the minister, although they say so, but know that His Majesty is working hard every day, there is nothing to say, just complain, How to do things or how to do things, if Your Majesty is slack, the ministers below will definitely be even more slack, and it will be difficult to implement the matters arranged by the government hall and the rules set by them......"
Liu Yunzhang said that Li Rupei's face was flushed, and he couldn't find a reason to refute it, but if it always went on like this, he was afraid that he would be tired to death.
The cabinet set up by the Ming Dynasty and the military aircraft department set up by the Qing Dynasty instantly entered his mind, no wonder the emperor would set up these institutions, it turned out that no matter how diligent the emperor was, he couldn't resist the weakness of his body.
But at this time, Li Rupei will not say it, he needs to think about it clearly, and then put it forward, he needs to set up a special body, this body has great power, can decide many important things, of course, he can also further enhance the power of the political hall, clearly stipulate which things the government hall can make decisions directly.
Seeing that the emperor's face was flushed and speechless, Liu Yunzhang immediately changed his tone.
"Your Majesty's hard work, the minister knows, the minister's meaning, after the Tang Dynasty is prosperous, everything will be fine, and at that time, Your Majesty will naturally be able to be more relaxed."
"I know, I just lost my temper, I will say these words in front of you, this is me, I remember Emperor Xuanzong once said, although I am thin, the world will be fat, I want the Tang Dynasty to prosper, I want the people to live a good life, I can't think about it, even if the Tang Dynasty is prosperous, I have to be more careful, Emperor Xuanzong was also diligent in the early stage, but later he slacked off, and there was the Anshi Rebellion, which made the Tang Dynasty decline rapidly, I will not do these things."
Everyone fell silent.
"Liu Ge's direct advice, I accept it, I hope that you can maintain this style, even if you have a face-to-face dispute with me, you must adhere to the correct opinion, and remind me all the time, you can't get carried away, you can't be content with pleasure."
After Li Rupei said these words, Cui Anqian and others were very excited, in fact, they also knew that the emperor was very hard, many times he rested in the Zichen Palace, and sometimes, when he encountered a major event, the prime minister of the court and the central government could report at night, and several times when Cui Anqian and others entered the Zichen Palace, they saw that the emperor was still reviewing the folds.
Cui Anqian immediately spoke.
"The emperor has not been in the capital for a long time, and he is facing a lot of things, and the minister thinks that the emperor still has to take care of the dragon body, and the world of the Tang Dynasty is tied to the emperor."
When Zheng Congyan was also about to speak, Li Rupei waved his hand.
"Cui Ge Lao's words, I can't agree with it, the world of the Tang Dynasty is not tied to me, but to the body of the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs of the Imperial Court, and the body of the people of the world, I alone do not have such great ability, I also have to rely on you to be able to govern the world of the Tang Dynasty well, and the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty requires the joint efforts of the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs of the Manchu Dynasty."
The emperor's ability is recognized by the Manchu Dynasty civil and military ministers, although the emperor ascended the throne for a short time, but in just three months, the appearance of the capital Chang'an has undergone great changes, these are indisputable facts, even the people of the capital, are talking about the emperor's sage after dinner, it should be said that with the passage of time, the Tang Dynasty will prosper.
Probably encouraged, Liu Yunzhang spoke again.
"Your Majesty, the minister still has something to say, Your Majesty is exhausted, for the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty, working day and night, although the minister is hard, he does not dare to compare with His Majesty, but the minister thinks that His Majesty can not be too self-disciplined, just say this harem matter, the minister should not have said it, the minister knows that there are also ministers in the court to put forward the fold, thinking that His Majesty's requirements for the harem are too strict, His Majesty's children, can do everything by themselves, the queen and the ladies, the number of palace maids is too small, Your Majesty has dismissed a group of palace maids, and is ready to dismiss the palace maids again, Asking the palace maids around the queen mother can not exceed 30 people, this is not in line with the majesty of the royal family, even the families of the gentry and wealthy families, the number of subordinates is not so large, His Majesty can not restrict the harem because of advocating frugality, the minister thinks, the treasury and the treasury still have to be distinguished, the treasury controls the expenditure of the palace treasury, and the money is allocated to the treasury through the treasury, and even the inappropriate expenses, His Majesty does not allow it, this is not appropriate......"
