Let’s see if Uncle Liu wants to take the banner, he has to find Prince Jing of Zhongshan as his ancestor. Anyway, Prince Jing of Zhongshan gave birth to a hundred sons. If the descendants continue to multiply, they will have already become a huge ethnic group.
So even the royal family themselves don't know whether it is right or not.
And now Li Xingchen has used this method to mess up the bloodline of the Nanchen royal family. The descendants of the Nanchen royal family are wanted everywhere, and the young talents inside and outside the court, who are the future pillars of the imperial court, are more or less irrelevant to the Nanchen royal family.
If you have good connections, there will be no difference between you and everyone, and naturally you won't be able to find any good excuses to rebel.
For example, if you, Chen Shubao's brother-in-law, want to rebel, you have to ask the other brothers-in-law if they agree. Moreover, you are only one of Chen Shubao's dozens of brothers-in-law, big and small. Even if it is justified, there are several others.
Will I listen to you?
Sometimes Li Xingchen felt that he had to thank Chen Xu for giving birth to so many people at once that the population of a small village was almost multiplied. It was not a bad thing for the big man who was currently short of people. Scattering them was not a bad thing.
If it continues, it can also promote the population fertility of the Han Dynasty. Coupled with the "excellent" performance of the Nanchen royal family in history, Li Xingchen feels that even if they are stuffed with a knife and hundreds of people are dragged away, they will still be obedient.
Surrender yourself to the authorities.
Now that the East Palace is free again, walking on the corridor of the East Palace, Li Xingchen looked at the plants and trees that he was once familiar with, and felt a lot for a while. Although this road was extremely difficult, at least he still walked through all the obstacles.
Came down.
The free time in the East Palace will only be temporary. Now Li Xinchen only has one daughter, Princess Jinling. The gender of the second child is unknown and is still in Lechang's belly. Naturally, there is no need to use the East Palace, the palace where the prince lives. Therefore, this time
Li Xinchen also directly used the East Palace as a place for the newly formed Privy Council.
Using the nearby vacant palaces in the East Palace naturally saves a very important expense for the court. After all, money is needed both inside and outside the court, and every little bit that can be saved is worth it. Even Li Xingchen himself did not realize it before.
Even though he is now sitting in Bashu and Jiangnan, the most prosperous places in the world, he still has to worry about scarce money and food. After all, as various policies are rolled out and the population increases, the demand for money and food will also follow.
Gradually grow.
So if you can save, you still have to save.
Of course, Li Xingchen also had another purpose, which was to show that the Privy Council was not a permanently established institution, so that there was no need to build a new building. Otherwise, as a new center of power, the Privy Council would have existed above the court for a long time, and would have been independent of the court.
In addition to the policy checks and balances of the court and the separate system framework, it is certainly helpful to strengthen centralization in the short term, but it is obviously not a good thing in the long term.
Especially for the Han Dynasty, which is now facing the prosperity of all kinds of wastes, there are two sets of leadership teams that restrict each other in the court, and there are even many people playing important roles in it at the same time, so it obviously has a great impact on the formulation and implementation of policies.
obstacles.
The front hall of the East Palace had already been renovated and decorated after he came to court. Li Xingchen naturally handed over this matter to Yang Su. Facts have proved that Yang Su is Yang Su after all. Li Xingchen had to admit that in many things
In terms of opinions and choice of handling methods, he may not be Yang Su's opponent.
This is indeed a minister worthy of the emperor's love and trust, but at the same time he is also an opponent who needs to calm down and deal with him calmly.
Now Li Xingchen is walking in the garden behind the East Palace, just to sort out his thoughts. After the Privy Council is established, how should the Han Dynasty move forward? After all, whether it is Yang Su or the other ministers, what they propose is just one
framework, and Li Xingchen will lead them to flesh out more content bit by bit.
"Your Majesty, your servant, welcomes you." At this moment, a woman, Shi Shiran, turned over and bowed her head in salute.
Li Xinchen was startled for a moment. He had no impression of this woman. However, she was only wearing a plain white skirt and her hair was pulled up to show that she was married. Li Xinchen was a little surprised for a while. Who was the female official in charge of the East Palace?
?
Yuan Dashe, who was following behind, reminded her hurriedly in a low voice: "Your Majesty, this is the wife of Hou Dehou. The Queen Mother thought that there was no one to manage and clean the East Palace, so she asked Shen, the wife of Hou Dehou, to be the female official of the East Palace and responsible for taking care of the East Palace."
Only then did Li Xingchen realize that this Hou Dehou was the title given to Chen Shubao by Li Xingchen, and Chen Shubao's wife Shen was naturally the queen, Shen Wuhua, who was born in the Shen family. Shen Wuhua was the daughter of the famous minister Shen Junli of the former dynasty and the niece of Shen Jungao.
Calculating, Shen Wuhua should have married Chen Shubao twelve years ago. When she got married, she was just a girl with a nutmeg head, and she should not be more than twenty-four or five years old now.
In other words, this person is the "mistress" of the East Palace.
For this woman, Li Xingchen could only express a lot of emotion. Chen Shubao had never been interested in his original wife. Before Shen Wuhua got married, his father Shen Junli passed away, and Shen Wuhua was so sad that he lived in the side hall to mourn.
Chen Shubao, who has always liked "poetry and drinking while enjoying the youth", was naturally very boring, especially when Shen Wuhua was in mourning for a long time, even exceeding the regulations, which made Chen Shubao completely lose interest in this real crown princess. It was during this period
During this time, Chen Shubao fell in love with Zhang Lihua, and even forgot about Shen Wuhua.
As a result, the two had been married for ten years, but they did not have a son or a daughter at all. Their son, Chen Yin, the deposed prince of Nanchen, was the son of Chen Shubao's concubine Sun Ji. After Sun Ji died, Shen Wuhua took him as his own.
keep.
Although she didn't get any affection from her husband at all, Shen Wuhua had no conflict with Chen Shubao and just lived peacefully in the harem. In history, although Chen Shubao wanted to abolish Shen Wuhua several times, considering the huge power of the entire Shen family,
and influence, they had to give up in the end. After the fall of the Southern Chen Kingdom, Shen Wuhua and Chen Shubao went north together, writing articles and organizing collections every day. It was for this reason that Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty admired her very much, and every time he visited the south
They would all ask her to accompany them as a female official, but Li Xingchen didn't know if there were any things that were not known to outsiders.
After all, Comrade Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty was even more greedy and lustful than Li Xingchen. Li Xingchen could think of giving Zhang Lihua the status of a female official and letting her "serve" her, but Comrade Yang Guang probably wouldn't either.
His brain was lacking. After Yang Guang's death, Shen Wuhua, who had experienced too many vicissitudes of life, returned directly from Guangling to Jiangnan and became a nun.
