Lechang used the allusion between Princess Guantao and Wang to laugh at Li Lian'er, but of course he didn't really mean that she was the Princess of Guantao.
And Li Lian'er also smiled and said: "My sister's beauty and appearance, I'm afraid even Mrs. Li can't compare with her. Feiyan Hede will be ashamed after seeing her. Beauty Wang is even worse. I really feel pity for you when I see her."
"Okay," Lechang said angrily, "The more you talk, the more you're not doing it right. We've almost arrived. Let's tidy up and get ready to sit down. You're still half a hostess today anyway."
Li Lian'er nodded, and while walking towards the main hall with Lechang, he lowered his voice and said: "Sister Le'er, at yesterday's small court meeting, the emperor determined the ratio of selecting talents next year as nine ratios between local selection and college selection.
One, and agreed with Zaifu’s suggestion, this ratio will only increase year by year, do you know this?”
The steps suddenly stopped, and Lechang's pretty face was slightly cold: "Why do you say this suddenly?"
Li Lian'er looked straight at Lechang, but said nothing.
And Lechang also understood that although the Xiao family came from a poor family, they have now become the first-class generals in the court as their strength has grown.
Apart from the thin royal family, those who benefited most from Li Xingchen's rise were actually Xiao Shilian's Xiao family and Pei Zilie's Pei family. Not to mention that each of these two families won a general, Xiao Mohe became a Taiwei.
Having secured his position as the first person in the military court, Pei Yi was once a small local governor and became a servant, taking charge of the entire province.
If the Xiao family and the Pei family were just getting rich before, then they should be considered to have entered the ranks of aristocratic families now.
Therefore, it is impossible for them to be indifferent to Li Xinchen's decision that seems to directly harm the interests of the family. However, as the recognized right-hand men of Li Xinchen, these two families naturally cannot directly express their dissatisfaction and speculation like other aristocratic families.
On the bright side, Li Lian'er is obviously a good breakthrough point.
The Pei family and the Xiao family are both half royal relatives. Li Lian'er obviously raised this question on their behalf. This is also considered a family member's inquiry to the family member. At least such conflicts will not be directly resolved.
To the bright side.
"Who asked you to ask?" Lechang's voice was already somewhat cold.
As the empress of the Han Dynasty, Lechang adhered to the iron rule that the harem was not allowed to interfere in politics. However, not intervening in politics did not mean that she did not know anything. Li Xingchen's approach only harmed the interests of a small number of aristocratic families with the power to recommend talents, and really gained
The benefits are definitely for the many poor and ordinary people who want to seek advancement but have no way out, so of course Lechang supports this decision from the bottom of his heart.
The reason why Nanchen fell apart in such a short period of time had a lot to do with the fact that the family's problems had not been completely solved. If it hadn't been for the defections of the Xu family, Wu family, etc., Nanchen would not have been able to fight at all.
The aristocratic family is like a cup of poison. Li Xingchen had to drink the poison in order to become strong, but now that he has stabilized, it is time to detoxify.
Given the character of my husband, this is something he will definitely do.
And Li Lian'er actually asked such a question at the cusp of the storm. Isn't it obvious that she wanted to cause trouble for her husband? If even the eldest princess of the Han Dynasty has doubts about such a policy, what will the people below think?
Fortunately, this was just a private discussion between the sisters-in-law.
"The lieutenant really has a lot of things on his mind." Lechang sneered.
Li Lian'er looked at her in surprise: "How did you know?"
Lechang glanced at her: "Your husband has always followed His Majesty's lead, and Master Pei has also advanced and retreated with your husband. It can be said that the two of them assisted His Majesty in conquering this country. Now how His Majesty plans to take over the country, he must discuss it with them in advance.
Through Qi, it is impossible for them to have any objections. At the same time, the Pei family has just risen for only one generation. Compared with other aristocratic families, it is far from being a wealthy family. Therefore, it is not their turn to worry about this issue. The rest can affect
You even instigated you to ask this question, and the only one left is the Taiwei."
Li Lian'er was silent for a moment.
Indeed, now that Xiao Shilian is still in Xiangyang, he naturally does not care about what happened in Jiankang Mansion. It was Xiao Mohe who asked her to test Lechang's tone and then Li Xinchen's tone by asking her to make some insinuations.
Lechang's voice was a little lower: "Does the Lieutenant feel that His Majesty does not trust him? Or does he no longer trust His Majesty?"
Li Lian'er immediately waved her hands: "No."
"It's not difficult to understand," Lechang had already guessed something from Li Lian'er's expression. After all, Li Lian'er grew up in the mountains and had a simple mind. Naturally, it was impossible for him to hide his true emotions and thoughts.
"At the beginning, the Taiwei defended Jiangling and resisted resolutely. His Majesty ignored the past grudges, but he himself was somewhat uneasy in his heart."
Li Lian'er was confused for a moment and didn't know what to say, but Xiao Mohe was definitely worried.
After a pause, Lechang continued: "Now that His Majesty relies heavily on Yang Su to join the army, doesn't it make the Taiwei feel oppressed even more?"
Li Lian'er had no choice but to nod slightly. Of course, she also knew that it was wrong to directly question the decision made by her brother, but Xiao Mohe's consideration was not unreasonable. Her husband was a martial artist and would definitely not interfere with such a question.
If I don't ask more questions about things, what will happen to the future of the Xiao family?
Especially now that Li Xingchen has clearly shown his trust in Yang Su, Xiao Mohe, the captain, looks more like a mascot and decoration used to convince the public. If Yang Su had more years and qualifications, it is impossible to say that Xiao Mohe would not be there.
Maha's position.
Out of consideration for both his family and himself, it is reasonable for Xiao Mohe to want to find out what Li Xingchen's purpose is.
Li Lian'er wrung her fingers uneasily. She could hear the coldness and anger in Lechang's tone. Even Lechang, who had always been gentle, suddenly changed his tone. What would happen to his brother? Fortunately, he didn't run away directly.
I have to find my brother, otherwise I don’t know how I will cause trouble for him.
Lechang looked at Li Lian'er intently. She also knew that Li Lian'er was only used by Xiao Mohe. Although Xiao Mohe was also a martial artist, he still had some political acumen. At the same time, he had become one with the royal family.
If the Xiao family is so worried, what about the other aristocratic families, and those old people who have returned to Nanchen? Will they worry even more?
How will they calm down their worries? Should they speak out directly to Li Lian'er, or use a more extreme and violent method?
Thinking of this, Lechang couldn't help but shudder.
She knew to some extent what His Majesty planned to do. This was His Majesty's final concession and bottom line. Apparently, Prime Minister Gu Yewang, who noticed this, did not force His Majesty anymore, but it did not mean that there were really no worries in the hearts of these aristocratic families.
