Chapter 126: The Game Between Monarchs and Ministers
When this group of people heard Emperor Wu call them ministers, they couldn't help but panic in their hearts.
Could it be that they did something wrong and offended Emperor Wu?
Dig it out in detail.
What they've been doing to the queen lately is really bad.
Could it be that Emperor Feiwu was going to be angry with them because of the pillow wind?
Can......
Shouldn't the matter of the draft girl conflict with the queen?
Then why didn't the queen react at all?
Li Kailin had a lot of discussion in his heart, facing this situation, he really didn't know how to answer, after all, Emperor Wu was really inferior to the previous generation of emperors, he was young, and he was still fifteen or sixteen years old.
There are already more than a dozen concubines.
Even if the first few concubines are only female dolls, it does not affect his ability to spread out at all, and the number of maids recruited into the palace is increasing step by step.
Emperor Daxing was fifty years younger, and his wife married a lot.
There are also many concubines in the harem.
It is precisely because of this that he is worried about the problem of heirs, because there are too many heirs, and in the end, the princes fought for each other, and several princes were deposed by the first emperor, and this matter was suppressed.
In the end, because Emperor Wu Zhang Tianran was the youngest and did not stir up the vicious incident of seizing the heir, he was loved by the first emperor, so when he was dying, he set the order for him to be the emperor.
In fact, the first emperor did not know much about Emperor Wu.
He thought that Emperor Wu had no ambitions, cared for his brother, and was a benevolent king.
It didn't work out.
That's just the surface.
The real him was revealed immediately after he ascended the throne.
What a joy.
Lust for beauty.
almost buried the future of the entire Dazou Empire.
Now, it is not surprising that the prodigal son of Emperor Wu has turned back and wants to spread his mind, after all, his father is a wonderful Mingjun, and when he comes here, he will not inherit and carry it forward.
Wouldn't that live up to his father's genes?
Of course, at this time, he was dissatisfied with Emperor Wu.
Even his loyalty to Emperor Wu is undeniable.
But his family identity determines that he can never cooperate perfectly with Emperor Wu, and on some big issues, Li Kailin always likes to use euphemism to secretly exercise his goals.
For example, the previous county system, the system is a good system, when Emperor Wu told him, he had already seen a huge opportunity, as the only eyeliner of the eight great families in the court.
He naturally knew how convenient it would be for the development of their eight families once the county system was implemented.
So, he lobbied the heads of the eight major families alone, which allowed the county system to be promoted smoothly and without violence.
However, it is unknown whether the county system promoted by Emperor Wu is the county system mentioned by Emperor Wu.
Anyway, since the implementation of the county system, the trade income of their eight families has skyrocketed several times.
Emperor Wu was not a fool either.
He knew that after the implementation of the county system, it would definitely change its taste.
The county system that does not change the taste, it is not called the county system, it is even better than the sub-feudal system, what is the biggest purpose of the county system?
Not to strengthen the centralization of imperial power.
It's about stability.
No matter how high the concentration of imperial power is, if you don't seek stability, everything will be in vain.
Therefore, for the county system, it is not only possible to see the strengthening of centralized power on the surface, but also to see the other side, that is, stability.
The reason why Emperor Wu made this Li Kailin fully responsible was not because of his ability and loyalty.
Rather, I took a fancy to his background.
As the saying goes, a strong dragon doesn't suppress the head snake.
The Eight Great Families have existed for thousands of years in the Northern Dazou region, and their heritage is not comparable to that of the Dazou, which has just been established for a century and a half, and besides, Emperor Taizu has not been completely eradicated in the past.
The bad debts left behind are all for future generations to wipe their butts.
The salt and iron mine, one of the lifelines of the Dazou country, accounts for one-third of the eight major families! This is not a small head, it is a big head, what is the concept of one-third?
During the heyday of the Dazou Empire, the territory was huge.
Half the size of the northern border of the station.
This world was originally called the Creation Continent, taken from the name of the Supreme God of Creation, the continent is large, the vastness of the property, no one is currently measuring, but in the field that Emperor Wu is familiar with.
The northern border of the Creation Continent, this is here, at least as big as several beautiful kingdoms in the afterlife.
And it's not densely populated.
Most of them are concentrated within the Human Empire.
Only a small number of Terrans choose to live with elves.
The most critical point is that Emperor Taizu is not a Zou person, he fled from Zhongzhou, and it coincided with the chaos in the north, so he took advantage of the situation, so he has always taken a pacifying attitude towards the eight great families.
However, this time, Emperor Wu did not intend to do so.
Because.
The existence of the family will inevitably hinder the concentration of monarchical power.
From ancient times to the present, few have relied on the support of the family to develop the country.
It can be said that the Maison is a bloodsucking worm.
If they don't shoot them to death, they can already be regarded as the mercy of Emperor Wu!
"Your Majesty, now that there is still a third of Dazou's territory that has not been recovered, Your Majesty is probably a little early to open the harem at this time, right? It's better to listen to Weichen's advice, Your Majesty will wait until the world is unified, how about being included in the harem together? ”
Li Kailin is not good to oppose directly.
He knew that if he objected, his future would be ruined at this moment.
"Oh? Is it? In that case, let's postpone it! ”
Emperor Wu knew that the smoke bomb he had just run out had finally worked.
"Your Majesty Shengming!"
"Long live Your Majesty, long live, long live!"
Okay!
This group of people is really eye-catching.
At this time, I have to pat myself on the back.
I don't know if the horse's fart has been slapped on the horse's hooves?
Emperor Wu sneered in his heart, do you think I really want to marry some concubine at this time? Wrong, your pattern is small, this is just to scare you.
The world is not unified, what is the need to open the harem?
Moreover.
Besides, my plan is not so simple!
The leeks are fattened, it's time to cut!
"Since you say that I am virtuous, but I will let you tell me, how many female dependents do you have in your family? How old are you, and how many people are sleeping in bed with you? ”
Emperor Wu's words changed suddenly, and he was like a whimsical, and the words he said made this group of ministers speechless for a moment.
The so-called literati and writers are all sassy people.
This group of officials is not a lot of righteous men and gentlemen, and Emperor Wu doesn't pay much attention to their character and Taoism, but his ability and loyalty.
It is well known that the emperor likes to use a balanced strategy to balance the courtiers.
And the courtiers could also unite to check and balance the emperor.
For example, the current system of three provinces and six ministries, this is the case, before it was a prime minister above 10,000 people, but now it is not the power of the six books together, in order to use the power of the prime minister reasonably.
Otherwise, a single person will not be able to fight the emperor.
Who are most of the officials?
It's a reader.
And most of them are not ordinary readers, they are the best among readers, in other words, people with extremely high talents.
They have a lot of reputation.
But he likes face engineering, he likes to write articles the most, and his head is the Tao, all of whom are righteous and gentlemen on the surface, but in fact they are evil ghosts.
What I yearn for the most is just a beautiful and happy life of "a beautiful woman lying in her arms, holding a jade in her left hand and pen and ink in her right hand".
So this leads to the fact that there are more concubines in these people's families than one.
One is better looking and youthful and beautiful than the other.
Therefore, as soon as Emperor Wu asked this, they were collectively dumbfounded: What is wrong with Emperor Wu, is it necessary to discuss this peachy issue openly at the Great Imperial Meeting?
