Aunt Qin hurriedly said: "Niangniang, this slave betrays the master and bullies you, if you don't drive that Wang Pingting away, this Ma Yongcheng can always get rid of it, as long as there is no matchmaking for him, Wang Pingting will not be able to become any climate, but as long as Ma Yongcheng is there, Wang Pingting will always think about Long Live Lord, let's tell Long Live Lord about this slave's evil deeds." ”

Li Zhao waved his hand: "All things are not born for me, but they can be used by me, this Ma Yongcheng, I have a lot of use, and I must not move now." ”

Aunt Qin: "......"

She thought to herself that Niangniang might have been born in rags, and these two rags should also be kept.

Aunt Qin continued: "There are only thieves who are thieves every day, there is no thief prevention every day, you have come here in the past few days, then Ma Yongcheng must have colluded with Wang Pingting, otherwise why let the Long Live Lord go last night, if the Long Live Lord didn't hold back, you would fall out of favor, and if you fell out of favor, all your ideals would be gone." ”

"So you don't want the bird to hit it, let the bird peck in the eye, and want me to say, what big career do you have that is higher than your own status?"

That's still the same sentence, if you know that Yang Houzhao will betray earlier, isn't that an early stop loss?

Li Zhao shook his head again, and then said in a coaxing tone: "My good aunt, don't worry about it, Wang Pingting also has to stay, if you want to get rid of Ma Yongcheng, you have to keep Wang Pingting, and Ma Yongcheng, now is really not the time, you must wait." ”

"When? Really wait for a year and a half, the emperor and you have no fresh energy? ”

Li Zhao: "......"

She looked out the window, calculated the days in her heart, and said, "Wait, if I remember correctly, the time will come soon, and it won't be the day when the Lord of Banzai hates me." ”

Aunt Qin saw that she was relaxed and suspicious.

"Really?"

Li Zhao leaned back on the chair and looked at Aunt Qin: "Otherwise, bet, I said that Long Live Lord is in the palace, believe it or not, bet on this month's money." ”

In her big clear and bright eyes, when it comes to gambling money, there is a kind of triumphant confidence in it.

Aunt Qin: "......"

I have lost one hundred taels last time, all my belongings, and I will never gamble with my mother in the future.

If she wins, she won't gamble, the monthly money is her life, and she will have to go out of the palace to retire in the future, just gamble.

"But Niangniang, why are you so confident?"

Li Zhao's eyelids slanted downward, and he glanced at his buttocks, because Yang Houzhao hadn't eaten peaches yet, how could he dislike her so quickly.

………………

Yang Houzhao came back from lunch at noon, and as soon as he entered the hall, he asked his subordinates: "Where is Niangniang?" ”

The little fire man at the door said, "It seems to be in the study." ”

Yang Houzhao looked at the sun in the sky, it was already noon, and he muttered, "Still forget to sleep and eat?" ”

After saying that, he stepped up the steps and entered the study through the partition in the main hall.

In the study, Li Zhao was reading a book under the south window.

Yang Houzhao didn't go over to scare her this time, and said directly: "It's time to eat, why aren't you hungry?" ”

Li Zhao put down the account book and looked back, Yang Houzhao went out today wearing a crown dress, very grand and majestic, this is the emperor's clothes on formal occasions, indicating that Yang Houzhao did not go out of the palace, there must be something, or serious, but he didn't tell her.

Li Zhao wanted to know, so he stood up and said, "Isn't this waiting for the Long Live Lord?" I got up late in the morning, and Banzai was gone. ”

Yang Houzhao walked to the table and took his hand: "You deliberately waited for me?" ”

He smiled again: "I see that you are sleeping soundly, I didn't call you in the morning, today is a feast, I have to go to the Taihe Hall very early, I left in a hurry, I forgot to tell you, I thought you wouldn't wait, now it's lunch." ”

A feast?

Li Zhao remembered that this was a special lecture system of the dynasty, and in the months when the weather was mild, the sutra feast was held three times a month.

On the day of the feast, whether it is the emperor or the six books, the left and right imperial envoys, princes and generals, even military attachés, must take off their armor, put on Sven clothes, and go to listen to the Hanlin Yuan attendants who are full of poetry and books to lecture on the Four Books and the Five Classics.

The rules of the feast are very large, and the lecturer needs to have a prescribed tone, speed of speech, and even fixed movements.

Needless to say, the people who listen to the lecture must listen carefully, and they must not make any sound, or even move.

So listening to the boring Four Books and Five Classics, and so many rules......

This is obviously red tape, which is quite a waste of time and energy.

However, the dynasty ruled the country with "science", and the sutra feast was a symbol, and if the sutra feast was not held, it felt that the foundation would be shaken.

Although there are some alarmists, there are some things that have to be believed, just like the collapse of the rites and music of the Spring and Autumn Period, and then the Warring States came.

Li Zhao remembered that even Yang Houzhao's cousin Yang Hou had always participated in the lectures, and that emperor was known as the "laziest" emperor in the dynasty.

After Yang Houzhao's death, because he had no son, the first assistant at that time, Yang Tinghe, who was Yang Houzhao's teacher, chose Yang Hou, the son of Xingxian Wang, as the emperor.

Let's not mention how this emperor behaved, after Yang Hou experienced an incident of "murder of the emperor by the palace maid", he never went to court again, but he also saw the feast.

When Yang Hou's grandson, the emperor who was known as "lazier" than Yang Hou, he began not to go to court in the later period, and he did not organize lectures at sutra banquets.

It's because he found a problem, those ministers who read the benevolence of the monarch and the ministers in their mouths actually want to "kidnap" him with these things.

The emperor's empress was barren, so neither of his sons was born.

The eldest son was born to a palace maid, and the second son was left over from his favorite imperial concubine.

He wanted to make the second son of the imperial concubine the crown prince, but the concept pursued by the scholars was that the heirs were not established, and if there was no son-in-law, it was the elder but not the young.

In the end, the Emperor and his ministers were in a stalemate for more than ten years.

However, he was influenced by his studies since he was a child, although he did not agree with the opinions of the ministers, and in the end he could not act as a tyrant, so he simply thought of a way to kill people in a hurry.

So his method is to wait, wait for the queen to die, so that he can make his beloved concubine the queen, and then the second son will be the son-in-law, the prince.

It's a pity that the perennially frail and sickly queen has outlived him.

He can't be buried with the woman he loves until he dies, and on the left is the queen who doesn't like it, and on the right is the mother of the eldest son who doesn't like it.

When the eldest son of the emperor ascended the throne, he pondered about being a carpenter all day long, and that was really an emperor who did not go to court, so there was no need to mention the scripture feast.

Of course, after that, the dynasty fell.

The fall of the dynasty may not be directly related to the feast.

It can even be said that the banquet is something that civil officials attach special importance to, but it is a shackle for the emperor and the country.

But after the feast, the party struggle is even more serious, which may belong to the butterfly effect.

So this red tape is obviously so backward, but it's really hard to say that it will be canceled.
