Chapter 110 Working hard at night

He poked his youngest son's forehead again and said, "Xiao Liu, if you pretend to be sick again to scare your mother, I will feed you three bowls of bitter medicine every day. You are about to get married as the groom's official, and you are still so naughty. Since you two brothers

Now that we’re all here, let’s have lunch with Ai’s family.”

After the Sixth Prince got the small porcelain vase, he immediately regained his strength and said with a smile, "The Queen is mighty~"

Li Beichen had a look of disgust on his face and was too lazy to respond, pretending not to care and sipping the tea carefully.

The banners hanging on the wall look much more impressive when hung in the hall than in the inner hall.

After he went to court, he heard that his mother took Jiang Yuebai and took a chariot back to Cining Palace and took Xiaobai to Cining Palace to recuperate.

All the way through the market, the limelight is unparalleled.

I don’t know if this painting was given by Xiaobai on his own initiative, or if his mother asked for it.

Seeing that the emperor did not speak, the Queen Mother and the Sixth Prince followed his gaze and looked at the writing on the wall.

"Mother, it would be nice to hang this banner here." Li Beichen said with a smile.

The Sixth Prince looked disgusted, "How can I praise myself? My eldest brother doesn't sell melons, so this is not good."

"The sons of the Ai family have always written well. Xiaoliu, your handwriting is also good." The Queen Mother praised with a smile.

It can be seen that it is not that one family does not enter the same house, the emperor's mysterious confidence is passed down from his ancestors.

"Thank you, Mother, for the compliment." The Sixth Prince replied with a smile.

"But it's still far behind your brother's handwriting."

The Queen Mother didn't mind being a bad person at all, and she immediately hailed her as soon as she got some sunshine, and said leisurely,

"Beichen, this tea was given by your aunt. There are three boxes in total. You will take one box and Xiaoliu's one later. I heard that Xiaoliu was getting married. Yesterday, my aunts came to sit in the palace. How many of you are there?

A cousin also entered the palace together.

If you hadn't seen that the emperor has been busy with government affairs, you really should have met them. Your cousin Li Changan is fourteen this year. She is smart and lovely, and the Ai family likes her very much. What does the emperor think? "

The atmosphere dropped by 20 degrees.

The three of them knew very well that the reason behind the mother's words was naturally because the emperor pampered the empress last night.

The Queen Mother's maternal ancestors had a complicated relationship with the royal family, with luxuriant branches and numerous heirs. Li Beichen did not remember his cousin Li Changan at all.

Historically, when the power of foreign relatives developed, nothing good happened. Wang Mang's chaos in the country was a typical example.

"The choice of the Queen Mother for her son is naturally very good. Everything is decided by the Queen Mother. When does the Queen Mother think it is appropriate to call her into the palace?" Li Beichen said with a smile, "Concubine Hui will be sad if she finds out."

It will be easier if you agree.

The Queen Mother breathed a sigh of relief. She had been afraid that her son would refuse for various reasons.

"There's no rush. It'll be nice to be in the palace on Aijia's birthday next month. As for Concubine Hui, Aijia can go talk to her.

I heard that the emperor chopped off the head of the minister of household affairs in the court yesterday. Those old ministers, relying on their merits, not only did not do things, but also contradicted the emperor. Some people should be killed, and not killing them would not be enough to establish their authority. It is said that the minister of household affairs is greedy for money.

He was lustful, and since the time of the late emperor, he was afraid that he would be greedy, so he just ransacked his house to make up for the shortfall in the treasury.

But killing meritorious ministers all the time can easily chill people's hearts. The emperor's foundation is not yet stable, so we should be cautious and implement more benevolent policies."

When the young emperor ascends the throne, it is normal for the old ministers to be difficult to use.

He has high qualifications, high rank, and great power, so he either messes around with things within his responsibilities but strives to achieve perfection, or he is busy forming cliques for personal gain, and strife between parties and colleagues.

From time to time, he would compare him with the late emperor. He would put on a stern old scholar's face and give him critical advice, euphemistically calling it admonishment. He would angrily rebuke a foolish emperor, unyielding in power, waiting to be punished by the foolish emperor.

The appearance of granting death and leaving a name in history.

To be an emperor, one must not be angry, be magnanimous, and do good deeds.

"I would like to say that my eldest brother is too benevolent and kind-hearted, so he doesn't kill enough. If you chop off a few more heads, they will know what to say, what not to say, what to do and what not to do." Lao Liu

Said angrily.

"Mother, those people in the court care about matters that have nothing to do with them. In fact, they are just playing dirty tricks, taking advantage of themselves, and do not want to serve the emperor."

"Thank you, Queen Mother, for reminding me." Li Beichen said respectfully, "The Ministry of Household Affairs is the top priority of the country and is in charge of household registration, land taxation, money and food matters. Nowadays, the post of Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs is omitted. I remember a cousin named

Li Keqin, who is well-read in poetry and books, is diligent and honest, let him go to the Ministry of Household Affairs to report, get a member of the Ministry of Household Affairs, and supervise the money and food for me. How does the Queen feel?"

The Queen Mother nodded with satisfaction, and arranged for people from her mother's family to go to the harem. She smiled and said, "Very good."

In fact, Li Beichen also has his own plans.

If you don't want to always act based on the faces of veterans, you need to make a major change, which means that you must gradually cultivate a group of reliable confidants to control the main departments.

When I was young, I was different from the middle-aged people. I was more ambitious and pursued progress. I was able to endure hardships and work overtime. I was more willing to help the new emperor. I was also somewhat less sophisticated and more passionate and sincere than the middle-aged and elderly people.

There are many cards that can be used to hedge against these veterans.

Relatives are naturally one of them.

The relatives may not necessarily be of the same mind as the emperor, but they are definitely not in the same boat as the ministers. As long as a person from the mother's clan is not allowed to be the queen and a prince of the mother's bloodline inherits the throne, anything can be said.

"My brother has sacrificed a lot for the sake of the country and the country. Even if he touches the light, rain and dew, he will die. Like last night, he had to work overtime and work hard for the country and the people. I really admire him."

What Lao Liu is best at is picking up which pot he doesn't open, and he comes from the same sect as Zhen Wanyi.

The Queen Mother's old face couldn't hold back after saying this. Since ancient times, there have only been tired oxen, and there has been no damaged fields.

The Queen Mother cleared her throat and looked at Li Beichen, "The Queen was not feeling well this morning and came to Cining Palace to ask for her blessings. She said that this was in accordance with the rules of our ancestors. If this is spread, I am afraid that it will cause people to talk about it. The Xie family

It’s not easy to explain either side.”

You caused such a shocking situation that you called an ambulance in the middle of the night.

How decent would it be to spread the word!

The Xie family knew that the queen had been widowed for three or four years, so they were not allowed to seek justice for her, and they were not allowed to create another turmoil when the time came.

Lao Liu openly gloated, "Big brother must have his own difficulties."

I want you to say, I don’t know my difficulties. Just shut up. Li Beichen gave his brother a fierce look.

"My mother has taught me a lesson. My sons will be more careful in the future." In front of his younger brother, Li Beichen was greatly embarrassed by his mother's concern about sexual matters, and pretended to cough twice.

"I have been promoted to the rank of the mother-in-law of the Xie family, and I have promoted the queen's eldest brother to the same rank, and sent some rewards to the house. The third brother and the sixth brother will go to the northern route next month in the name of entrusting the land with the vassal, which will inevitably cause Xie

Everyone is suspicious. This can also be an opportunity to appease them a little and stabilize them first."

Ranks can only be promoted slowly, little by little, and there must be room for advancement, and cannot be promoted too quickly.

First, the cost is too high;

Secondly, it is difficult to motivate subordinates;

Third, the higher the position, the more difficult it is to manage, and the more difficult it is to break up in the future;

Fourth, it can easily have a negative impact on other colleagues and create negative stimulation.

This is also the reason why Jiang Yuebai was only promoted to one level in recognition of sacrificing his life to save others.

The days are still long.
