Gu Shanchang found a bright excuse, and Shi Shiran entered the academy.

Leaving the emperor and queen to look at each other outside the academy gate.

As you can guess, this is the first time, but it won't be the last. In the future, Gu Shanchang will often return to Lianchi Academy to "catch up" with Ji Shanchang.

Sheng Hong couldn't help but mutter: "Why didn't I think of this trick." ”

Xie Mingxi glanced at Sheng Hong with a smile: "The officials are still waiting in the Jinluan Palace, don't rub around here." Hurry up and go back to the court! ”

Sheng Hong said a joke casually, he would not really have to stay. stopped outside the gate of the courtyard and took a look inside, then left hand in hand with Xie Mingxi.

Because the emperor and queen have always been accompanied by guards, a bunch of famous ladies and relatives have not been able to get close and come to say hello. However, the encounter outside the academy still made the ladies excited.

"I really didn't expect that I would see the emperor and the queen mother with my own eyes today."

"I have long heard that the emperor treats the queen mother deeply, and loves Princess Aluo like life. Today I finally saw it with my own eyes. ”

"Yes! Who would have thought that the emperor would personally send Princess A Luo to the academy. No, I will have to send my daughter every day in the future, and maybe I will have the opportunity to meet the emperor and the queen in the future. ”

"Exactly, I plan to do that too......"

The excited and joyful discussion outside the Lotus Pond Academy has not dispersed for a long time.

The emperor and queen naturally didn't know about all this.

The two returned to the palace in a carriage, and Sheng Hong went to the Jinluan Palace. Xie Mingxi returned to the Jiaofang Palace and began to deal with the affairs of the harem. It's just that Queen Xie, who was calm and calm in the past, will be distracted from time to time today.

Xiang Hui looked at it in her eyes and couldn't help but be secretly funny.

Pity the hearts of parents all over the world. Empress Xie is no exception.

I don't know if the emperor will be distracted when he goes to court today.

……

Sheng Hong has always been thinking about A Luo in his heart.

Ah Luo is already ten years old, which is not too old, and it is by no means small. But in the eyes of her father Sheng Hong, Ah Luo is still delicate and soft, and she needs to hold her in the palm of her hand to care for her beloved daughter.

At that time, he pretended to be a woman and studied at Lianchi Academy for three years, and he was quite familiar with Lianchi Academy. According to the practice of the Lotus Pond Academy, even if the princess enters the academy, she has to bring only one companion to the academy like ordinary students. In the college, like the rest of the students, there will be no special treatment.

In all fairness, being in such a study and living environment is a good thing for Ah Luo, who was born noble. Ah Luo will be independent faster, and can learn to get along with her classmates, which is more conducive to Ah Luo's healthy growth.

However, he still fell into the anxiety and anxiety peculiar to his father.

Will Ah Luo be able to adapt to life in the academy?

Will Arlo be able to adapt to the new masters?

Will Arlo make friends?

…… The Son of Heaven, who was full of worries, was distracted in the court.

Fortunately, the officials all hung their heads, and they couldn't look up at the sky when they started playing. As long as Sheng Hong sat on the dragon chair calmly, did not talk nonsense and did not make any out-of-the-ordinary actions, no one knew that the Son of Heaven was in a daze.

Gonggong Wei, who was standing beside the Son of Heaven, saw something strange out of the corner of his eye.

Father-in-law Wei coughed lightly as a reminder.

Sheng Hong came back to his senses and cheered up to listen to the officials.

The great pilgrimage meeting twice a month is more form than content. The real major affairs of the country and the dynasty are basically discussed and resolved at the small court meetings on weekdays.

However, today's dynasty will be a little unusual.

Chen Zhan, as the youngest official of the Daoist Language, is quite sharp on weekdays, but today he actually asked the Son of Heaven to cut the feudal domain in front of hundreds of officials.

Chen Zhan was wearing the official uniform of a low-ranking official, his eyes were shining, his bearing was calm, and he talked eloquently. First of all, he listed the many disadvantages of the Great Qi Domain's domain: "...... The Great Qi Dynasty was established for more than 100 years, and a total of more than 10 vassal kings were crowned. Combined, the feudal domains accounted for a quarter of the prefectures and counties of Daqi. ”

"These feudal domains have been occupied by feudal kings for generations. It's no different from a vassal state. The people of the domain only know the vassal king, but they don't know how to be the son of heaven. How is this different from the division of the territory of Daqi? ”

In addition, the tax revenues of these domains also belonged to the vassal kings. The imperial court also paid a large amount of military salaries and silver taels every year for the vassal kings to raise the vassal soldiers. ”

"In the long run, the treasury is empty, but the private treasury of the vassal kings is more and more abundant."

"Besides, the total number of feudal soldiers from all over the country is tens of thousands. It became commonplace for vassal kings to privately raise private soldiers. ”

"When you think about it, it's so frightening."

"If the vassal kings have different intentions and unite in private, it is a terrible force that can shake the court."

"The official position of Weichen is low, but he also has a heart of loyalty to the Son of Heaven and loyalty to the Great Qi. Weichen implored the emperor to order the reduction of the domain! ”

……

This sprinkling of a thousand words is like a boulder falling on the ice. Immediately, the ministers were shocked and stunned.

"The vassal kings have been stationed in the domain for generations, guarding the territory for the Great Qi. has both merit and hard work, how did it come to Chen Yanguan's mouth and become a group of people whose hearts can be punished? ”

If these words reach the ears of the vassal kings, won't it make the hearts of the vassal kings chill? When the time comes, I am afraid that they will have no objection, and they will have to rebel. ”

"Chen Yanguan is young and knowledgeable, don't talk nonsense!"

The first person to refute it was Chen Zhan's father's new minister, Chen Shangshu.

Chen Shangshu looked angry and refuted Chen Zhan fiercely.

Chen Zhan did not back down at all, and continued to arch his hand: "What Chen Shangshu said is not unreasonable. It's just that Weichen, as a speech official, has the right to admonish. Wei Chen can see and think of things, how can he keep silent for fear of being infamous and the resentment of the vassal kings? ”

"Weichen thinks that the great Qi dynasty is now stable, and the biggest internal trouble is that many vassal kings in the domain hold military power."

"Wechen once again implores the Holy Lord, and orders the feudal domain!"

Chen Shangshu was really anxious and angry.

The father and son lived in Chen's mansion together, but he had never heard Chen Zhan write such an earth-shattering recital. When Chen Zhan opened his mouth in the court today, his heart sank.

The Son of Heaven has the intention of cutting the domain, and Chen Shangshu naturally knows it. The day before yesterday, when the ministers were discussing in the palace, the Son of Heaven revealed this intention. At that time, all the ministers almost unanimously opened their mouths to oppose it.

He is also one of them.

As a servant of the ministry, he has received heavy gifts from the vassal kings over the years. Eating people with a soft mouth and taking people's means, at such times, you have to intercede for the vassal kings. At worst, it can delay for some time. Come to think of it, the well-informed vassal kings who always pay attention to the court are about to receive the news......

He expected that the Son of Heaven would have a backhand.

But I didn't expect that the Son of Heaven would come so quickly and urgently.

This bastard son, dedicated to serving the Son of Heaven, rushed out actively. As everyone knows, the chess pieces that are most likely to be sacrificed and abandoned in this world are the pawns who rush out first.
