Chapter 903: If you want the horse to run, you must give it enough grass.
"Why are you so nervous? Come here!"
When Li Qingzhao heard the noise, he raised his head and smiled gently at them.
Hu Sanniang and Hua Xiaomei still don't quite understand why they are nervous. They just feel that others are nervous and they should be nervous too.
However, Li Shishi knew that the most worrying thing for a regime that strives to govern is actually the issue of successors, which involves the stability of the country.
After the head coach's wedding, his subordinates were all looking forward to news. Not long after he became king, Li Qingzhao had some pregnancy symptoms, but to be on the safe side, the news of the princess's pregnancy was not officially announced until three months after the fetus was stable.
In this way, Mrs. Gu will lead so many guards and mobilize all the troops to protect her, so that she can feel at ease both inside and outside.
So regardless of whether they understood the importance or not, how could the three young ladies not be nervous? When Li Qingzhao saw it, he thought of a way: "Come here, I haven't seen you for a long time, I will test your knowledge!"
Faced with this considerate teaching, Li Shishi and Hua Xiaomei soon lost their nervousness, while Hu Sanniang began to doubt life and muttered: "I have studied seriously for a long time, why are most of them still not good at it?"
Li Qingzhao pursed his lips: "Sanniang has made great progress, but everyone has their own things they are good at!"
Hu Sanniang became happy and raised her slender neck: "I am indeed good at fighting alone and marching in formation!"
Li Qingzhao snorted, Li Shishi shook his head gently, and Hua Xiaomei couldn't help but laugh.
Hu Sanniang was still in a silly mood: "By the way, sir, are you going to have a baby?"
"Have you also learned the strange things the king said?"
Li Qingzhao spat, with a happy smile on his face: "Yes!"
Hu Sanniang was confused and blurted out: "Will that be a little prince or a little princess?"
As soon as these words came out, not to mention Master Li glared at her, even Hua Xiaomei stopped smiling and changed her face slightly.
Logically speaking, as long as a princess is born, there will always be a prince later. However, in view of the scarcity of heirs from official families in the Song Dynasty, the whole court still devoutly hoped that this baby would be a little prince and thrive.
After all, if Zhe Zong had an heir, he wouldn't have to pass it on to his younger brother. In the end, a foolish king like Duan Wang Zhao Ji was chosen to take the throne...
Finding that the atmosphere had cooled down, Hu Sanniang also panicked, her head drooping: "Sir, I didn't mean to..."
Li Qingzhao didn't take it seriously and rubbed Hu Sanniang's head: "Like Sanniang, I was curious at first and even nervous, until the king informed me that this fetus must be that of a little prince."
Hu Sanniang was stunned: "Does the King also know this?"
Li Qingzhao chuckled: "Have you forgotten that the king and the head of the hospital, An, are both miraculous doctors?"
Only then did everyone suddenly realize.
Sui'an Medical Center now has the support of Yan Ting, its development speed is only slower than that of the academy, and it has begun to train military doctors.
Many good citizens who do not meet the requirements for joining the army are encouraged by the Ministry of War to enter medical centers for training. Once they become qualified military doctors, they will immediately enjoy the same treatment as regular soldiers.
As a result, Sui'an Medical Center became more and more famous, with more and more apprentices. Many people discovered that the two doctors who initially practiced in Bianliang were none other than Wang Shang and Shou'an Dao of the current Taiyuan Hospital. Complete.
Therefore, other imperial doctors would never dare to say whether the child was a prince or a princess. If they did, it would only make people half-believed. But what this husband said made Li Qingzhao feel that the certainty was not comfort, but a confident judgment.
.
Li Yan was so confident, it was [one shot into the soul], everything he wished for would come true for the first time. He didn’t know whether the second and third children would be a boy or a girl, but the probability of the first baby was determined.
"That's great!"
Hu Sanniang soon became happy again, and the three little ladies were surrounding her, making Li Qingzhao even more happy.
She likes the academy, and she also likes these children.
Li Shishi is generous and decent, extremely intelligent, Hu Sanniang is lively and cheerful, straightforward, Hua Xiaomei is quiet, shy and kind-hearted...
Although the palace is not depressing, the environment of the academy can give full play to talents and cultivate more and more talented women, which will undoubtedly make you more physically and mentally happy.
Teachers and students were chatting together. Compared to Hu Sanniang and Hua Xiaomei, Master Li was the best at multitasking.
On the one hand, he was concerned about life, on the other hand, he was discussing knowledge, and occasionally he was thinking about how to let the timid Prince Ming lurk. As he glanced around, he even saw with sharp eyes a few lines of beautiful small words on the paper where the princess had just buried her head at the desk.
Although most of them are blocked, several keywords can still be extracted: "Yuanfang", "The enemy fell", "The copper coin fell to the ground"...
"Detective Li Yuanfang? Which passage in "The Secret History of the Former Tang Dynasty" is this?"
"This paragraph is not included in the five volumes I read... Could it be that the princess wrote it herself?"
Master Li was startled.
The most popular story-telling novel on the market today is undoubtedly "The Secret History of the Former Tang Dynasty" which she once used to kill time and later became addicted to.
It has been serialized for five volumes and has gone through five cases. The outline of a huge conspiracy has vaguely surfaced. The reader's mood is very stable as the end of the fifth volume ends at a critical place.
Anyway, when Mr. Li passed by the bookstore recently, he heard someone asking with gritted teeth almost every time when the sixth volume would be released...
Master Li also asked.
After not getting an answer, she became very curious about the author of this novel. She had no other intention, she just wanted to send some gifts to express her condolences.
But when he saw an unfamiliar plot and contacted Sui'an Academy for being the first choice, Master Li suddenly came back to his senses: "No wonder the recent fourth and fifth volumes have beautiful vocabulary, gorgeous writing, and amazing poems.
The chapters are much improved compared to the first three volumes!"
"But the style of the story is unified. If the last two volumes are written by Mr., the first three volumes...the sixth volume has been delayed..."
"That's okay, we can still afford to wait!"
Master Li's attitude changed immediately and he decided to go back and read the first five volumes again, especially the chapter on Zhenwu Shengjun to study it carefully.
Thinking of this, she frowned slightly and became thoughtful.
There was endless talk here, and the sun was about to set. Li Qingzhao looked at the time and said, "That's it for today... Sanniang, don't relax. I'll test your homework next time."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Hu Sanniang’s voice was loud and clear: “Here!”
Under the escort of Sister-in-law Gu and other guards, Li Qingzhao did not return to the palace, but took a carriage to the Li Mansion.
On the road in front of the mansion, she saw her mother, Mrs. Wang, already waiting at the door. She stepped out of the carriage, saluted and said coquettishly: "Didn't I ask you to wait at home? Why are you so out of touch with your daughter again?"
Seeing her daughter's radiant face and smiling brows, Mrs. Wang was filled with joy: "Your father is the Minister of Rites. We must abide by the etiquette. How can there be any omissions?"
Li Qingzhao felt sorry for his mother and knew that etiquette must be paid attention to. After caring about each other's physical condition, he asked: "Where is father? Is he still in the Ministry of Rites?"
Wang said: "The provincial examination is coming, and he will come back very late."
Li Qingzhao frowned slightly and sighed: "It doesn't have to be so hard..."
Mrs. Wang took her daughter's hand and entered the house together. After dismissing the maids, they stood next to each other and talked: "Your father is now a minister of the first rank. How can he not think deeply about the imperial court? Don't worry, he knows it well!"
Li Qingzhao had been exposed to the events before and had some knowledge of the major events in the Song Dynasty. When Li Gefei participated in the coup of King Jian, he urged his father to stay at home to avoid trouble.
Nowadays, in order to prevent the harem from intervening in politics, I try my best not to inquire about foreign affairs, but many things have come to my ears.
Because from the six books of Yipin, there is her father, the head of the country.
Having a first-rank official position, holding the most powerful position, and having a daughter who is the future queen. Such a highly respected minister was actually a taboo matter. Li Qingzhao was very worried about this.
Wang was more worried than Li Qingzhao before, and even tried to persuade Li Gefei to resign from the post of Minister of Rites, but now he just takes it as he comes. He cannot enjoy the power without taking the risks. There is no such good thing in the world: "The authority of the six ministries"
The promotion is also a new look. Your father, who is in charge of the Ministry of Ceremonies, should do his best to select talents for the country. When he fulfills his trust, he can resign with peace of mind and spend his remaining years in peace."
Li Qingzhao said: "Please tell my father, the king has emphasized many times in the palace that running a big country is like cooking small dishes. No matter what grand blueprint you have, you must be down-to-earth, step by step, and don't rush. Today, the effectiveness of each ministry's administration must be strengthened."
He was very satisfied with the previous Song Dynasty."
Wang praised highly: "The king is a sage. If the common people are safe and all officials are in their positions, how can the world be unhappy?"
In fact, the senior officials of the imperial court could see clearly that the current efficiency of Yan Ting was only average compared to the bloated and slow administration of Zhao and Song Dynasty, which was average in the previous Tang Dynasty. However, Li Yan really did not intend to speed up the administration any more.
Each era has its own style. It is undoubtedly unfair to use the concepts of later generations to define the current period, and may even lead to backlash.
For example, the reform period of Zhang Juzheng in the Ming Dynasty was one of the most efficient periods of ancient official governance. "Although it was thousands of miles away, it was implemented day and night," and the political system was awe-inspiring.
This description is definitely an exaggeration. Ten thousand miles is just an imaginary number, but it also emphasizes that the Ming Center also has strong administrative control over distant places, which is quite amazing.
It's a pity that behind such high efficiency, there was also a huge backlog of pressure and dissatisfaction at the top and bottom. When Zhang Juzheng died, the officials at the top and bottom breathed a sigh of relief, and the political efficiency quickly returned to the original, or even worse than before.
This is one person's reform. When one person dies, the government will die.
To reform bad policies, we cannot rely solely on personal prestige, as this is doomed to fail.
It was also necessary to change the slow administration of the Song Dynasty and make all the ministries in the court more efficient, which would inevitably require hard work. Because of this consideration, Li Yancai strengthened the authority of the six ministries during the stage of becoming king.
If you want the horse to run, you must give it enough grass.
However, the official positions during the period of becoming king are not customized. Whether the six official titles can be maintained as they are after becoming emperor depends on their efforts and results.
If you act like a thousand-mile horse, the grass will continue to control it, otherwise it will be no wonder that it returns to its original shape!
So at this time in the palace, not only Li Gefei's Ministry of Rites, but also every department was eating in the corridor, focusing on unity and continuing to work.
Don't tell me to go home and have fun, the court is my home!
