Chapter 172: Marriage
"Nope." Li Xingchen shook his head, "If the imperial court must have decision-making power, I will do it myself, and I didn't let you get involved." ”
The meaning of this is already very clear, you have to participate in it yourself, and you have to lick your face to make decisions, don't even think about it.
The prime minister gave a step sleekly, "Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that having a special review agency is already equivalent to the decision-making of the imperial court."
Because the authenticity investigation team set up by Lao Chen has very professional investigation methods, it can ensure that every piece of news is accurate and true. ”
What else do you need to make decisions, the emperor can still fight the three princes?
It's good that the approval of the newspaper is someone from the imperial court's side!
Otherwise, Li Xingchen didn't let the emperor join in, who would be the loser? Not himself yet?
Li Zhen came down the steps, "As long as the imperial court can guarantee the authenticity of the newspaper, I will cooperate with you, a rebel." ”
He had no choice but to settle for the next best.
At present, the most important thing is to improve the cultural level of the entire people of the Great Wei. As for the unhappiness with Li Xingchen's tough heart, let's suppress it first.
Li Xingchen took a sip of tea to moisten his throat.
"When it comes to improving culture, I came up with a way to set up a bookstore.
The most easy-to-understand common sense of life will be printed and distributed to the people free of charge.
We will train a group of hard-working teachers and send them to various towns and counties to teach the people to read and write for free. ”
"That's it?" Li Zhen looked at Li Xingchen with the eyes of an idiot.
"I had already practiced this idea years ago, and those illiterate people didn't buy it at all.
I haven't been literate for most of my life, and when I reach middle age and old age, let them go to school, is it realistic? At that time, they would rather go to work and earn more money. ”
Li Xingchen smiled.
"It will definitely not work directly, so it is also necessary for the imperial court to vigorously promote the imperial examination system and create an atmosphere for reading.
In the atmosphere, everyone will slowly and imperceptibly.
is still the sentence just now, improving the culture of the whole people is not an overnight thing, it is different from fighting a war, and it is necessary to take a two-pronged approach on both sides.
It is necessary to create an atmosphere in which only reading and literacy can change fate, and this understanding will be deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, so that they will take the initiative to learn.
Persecution is useless, especially mental things, relying on self-consciousness, only from the bottom of the heart to believe that reading is useful, will have an effect, otherwise learn this word and forget that word.
Reading changes fate, knowledge is power! Follow these twelve words to the end."
Everyone looked at Li Xingchen with shocked expressions.
The prime minister, in particular, was very excited.
He is a civil official, and if you think about it carefully, it is indeed such a reason, it is only by studying that he has changed the fate of poverty and his humble status.
At this moment, the prime minister felt that Li Xingchen was simply his confidant!
He admired Li Xingchen more and more.
Under the brain fever, he knelt down in front of Li Zhen.
"Your Majesty, there is one more thing about Weichen, Weichen's youngest daughter, who is eighteen years old, begs His Majesty to marry the third prince as a concubine."
"The old minister implores His Majesty to fulfill it." The Prime Minister bowed his head.
A young and promising person like Li Xingchen is too rare, and he is completely a good son-in-law in his mind.
He didn't know that much about him before, he just thought that he was very smart, very good at business, very generous to his subordinates, and very good.
However, after getting along with each other for a while, he realized that his previous perception of him was the tip of the iceberg.
He was able to think of a countermeasure to improve the culture of the whole people, and even more deeply analyzed the reasons why the people's culture was low.
Such a promising young man, if he can become a son-in-law, then the Ling family will be called the real glorious ancestor and leave a name in history.
In the future, when the historian records that Li Xingchen has done all kinds of exploits, he will definitely record the son-in-law of the Ling family.
Damn, what's the situation, Li Xingchen was stunned.
The prime ministers are in their sixties, and they have an eighteen-year-old daughter, who wants to marry themselves as a concubine?
Li Zhen slapped the table angrily, "Prime Minister, when did you come up with an eighteen-year-old daughter?" When the draft was held two years ago, your daughter should have been sixteen, why didn't she report it to the palace for me to choose? ”
As soon as he finished speaking, Li Zhen regretted it, didn't saying this in this situation create an illusion that he was going to rob his wife with his son?
Sure enough, the Marquis of Dingyuan looked at him with disdain, and said in a strange manner: "Your Majesty, do you remember what happened so long ago?" Could it be that there are so many concubines in the harem, you have already been lucky? Aren't you tired? Isn't it prostration? ”
"Presumptuous." Li Zhen's old face froze.
The prime minister got up and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, you also know that the five sons of the old minister have such a precious girl when they are old, and they really don't want to send her to the palace to compete for favor with three thousand beauties!" ”
Li Zhen's face became more and more ugly, and he regretted saying that just now, but now that he is good, they all think that he is a faint gentleman who is extravagant and wants to rob his wife with his son.
Marquis Dingyuan realized it later, isn't it the best time to get on the boat with Li Xingchen?
Immediately changed his previous disdainful posture, clenched his fists and said: "Your Majesty, Weichen also has a sister, twenty this year, I implore Your Majesty to marry His Royal Highness the Third Prince as a concubine." ”
Hey, what's the matter, Dingyuan Marquis also wants to rob people? The prime minister became excited, "Your Majesty, this matter was mentioned by the old minister first, so the old minister's daughter should be in the second room."
As for the sister of Dingyuan Hou, no matter what her appearance is, when the cultural level is definitely not as good as the little girl, the third room will be over. ”
"What do you say, old man?" The Marquis of Dingyuan was immediately furious.
"My sister didn't grow up in the capital since she was a child, she studied medicine in the mountains, and she only came back two days ago.
It's you, a daughter who was born at a young age, who knows what her physique is, but don't be a Lin Daiyu, it's not easy to give birth! ”
"You, Shaft, just slandered my daughter?" The prime minister is extremely angry.
Looking at the two of them, arguing over whose daughter or sister became Li Xingchen's second room, Li Zhen felt a lot of headaches.
Li Xingchen also looked shocked.
is chatting about business, why did it suddenly become a matter of filling in a second room for yourself?
Thinking of the second room, Li Xingchen's figure of Dugu Ling appeared in his mind, shook his head and said, "Can you stop arguing?" Don't you understand what is the right thing? ”
The more the two quarreled, the more intense they became, and they didn't hear Li Xingchen's words.
"Old thing, your daughter is definitely not good at giving birth, and she can't take her turn in the second room."
"Look at the virtue of your Dingyuan Marquis's Mansion, from the master to the slave, how many are educated? How can an outstanding young man like the Third Prince find a woman with low culture to be the second room?
What's more, first come, first served, understand? I proposed to Your Majesty first, you stand aside! ”
The two of them were red-faced, and the subordinates on the side were surprised to see it, and Li Zhen was even more shocked.
