Chapter 1254 Everything is difficult at the beginning
The sins in this life cannot be eliminated by kneeling down and reciting Buddhist sutras. What the Buddha hopes to see is people's sincere repentance and more diligent efforts.
For a person like Shen Wuhua who believes in Buddha, not having the opportunity to do good deeds should be the biggest grudge in her heart. But now she obviously has such an opportunity. If it can really help more people, especially those who The children who are suffering are naturally the best.
Li Xingchen stretched out his hand and gently stroked her hair, and whispered: "Then you have to think clearly. Everything is difficult at the beginning. It is not easy to do this and do it well."
As the emperor, Li Xinchen began to encourage and even organize to help the poor from an official perspective. This in itself was not a problem. But in the current Han Dynasty, it was the aristocratic family that had the upper hand, and Li Xinchen's doing so was tantamount to directly supporting the poor. Cultivate enemies of aristocratic families.
This is why Li Yichen himself has similar ideas but has not put them into practice. After all, it would be bad if it directly triggers a large-scale conflict between Li Yichen and the family. Although Wu Mingche and Xu Ling do not want to directly confront Li Yichen now. When disputes arise, they even side with Li Xinchen in most decisions. However, the premise is that Li Xinchen will not go against the family for a long time. What they want is a limited dispute between the family and the imperial power. This can It was bearable, but if the quarrel continued, in order to maintain their prestige among the other families, they had to stand up and "justice".
Therefore, Li Xingchen cannot come forward. Until he can find another suitable person, Li Xingchen can only keep this idea in his heart. Now Shen Wuhua is undoubtedly the best candidate. Her status is quite special. She is the queen of the previous dynasty. She can suppress some veterans of the previous dynasty; she is the eldest daughter of the Shen family, so she naturally has a great say in the Shen family. The Shen family itself is a very influential existence among the Southeastern aristocratic families, and it is impossible for anyone to fail to do so. Give the Shen family face.
Once Shen Wuhua comes forward to take charge of this matter, naturally the aristocratic family will not suffer directly. Otherwise, wouldn't it mean that they are obviously going to have trouble with the Shen family? Isn't this the same as the Xu family, Fu family, etc., who are in the same sect with the Shen family? Can't you make it through?
However, this is only the best situation Li Xingchen imagined, and it may be more difficult than he and Shen Wuhua expected.
Shen Wuhua said softly: "Since your Majesty can trust me so much, I will do my best. Please rest assured."
Li Xingchen nodded: "It's not that I don't trust you, it's just that there are some things that cannot be explained clearly in a short while."
Shen Wuhua held his hand and leaned on Li Xingchen's shoulder: "I know what your Majesty wants to say. If the family wants to continue, it will naturally be cruel to others. However, facts have proved that for three hundred years, the southeastern gentry have been addicted to This kind of oppression and exploitation not only failed to ensure that the princes of his family would last for generations, but it only made it impossible for the Southern Dynasties to make progress, and even the people suffered. What kind of behemoths Wang Xie was back then, haven't they all disappeared now, so concubine I don’t think that the Shen family can be passed down from generation to generation and prosperous. Rather than hoping that the descendants will be successful, it is better for my own generation to do good things first and let myself be remembered in history."
Li Xingchen said with a smile: "I didn't expect you to have such an awareness."
Shen Wuhua shook his head and murmured: "No, actually this is what my father said, but after my father left, everyone stopped doing this and everything returned to the original track. "
Li Xingchen put his arms around her shoulders, knowing that Shen Wuhua was reminded of some painful memories of the past, and whispered: "Don't think so much. If Jun Ligong's spirit in heaven can know that you have such a mind, he should also know that you have such a big heart." Gratified."
Shen Wuhua hugged Li Xingchen: "Is it true?"
"Of course!" Li Xingchen said solemnly, "I am the emperor, don't you believe me?"
"I trust you." Shen Wuhua hugged Li Xinchen tightly.
And Li Xingchen patted her back gently: "I believe you too."
As for the concubines in the harem, he doesn't want them to always have nothing to do. Facts have proved that the harem is not allowed to participate in politics, which does not mean that the harem will be honest. For these women who have been locked in the deep palace compound all their lives, He said that even if they are not allowed to interfere in matters related to power, they will not stop. Instead, they will start to scheming, jealousy, and scheming against each other. This is not because Li Xingchen discriminates against women, but this is the nature of women.
Women who don't get jealous seem to be a little abnormal.
So instead of letting these women, who are smarter than each other, get together and have their own thoughts, it is better to find something for them to do. However, this is not a decision that Li Xingchen can implement just by saying it. He has to go back and discuss it with Lechang. Discuss. As for Shen Wuhua, after all, she has not yet received a formal status, so Li Xingchen also wants to let her try it out first.
After being held back in the harem for so long, it was obvious that Shen Wuhua did not want to stay in the palace all the time.
"This is all such a mess!" Tabata slammed the table.
"Be careful," Cheng Feng handed him a glass of water, "to calm down."
Chang'an City has a curfew. Although the curfew only prohibits pedestrians on the streets, it does not mean that lighting is not allowed. However, at this time when most people have gone to sleep, just in case, they are almost discussing the arrangement of manpower in the dark. .
At this time, Tabata didn't even know where the next people in white robes were, so it was strange that he was not in a hurry.
As the spring plowing is about to come to an end, the entire Guanzhong has begun to prepare for the next war. The mobilization of personnel and food has caused the entire official road to be busy and noisy. The consequence is naturally that many people in white robes have now lost contact. After all, they They all have their own hidden identities. At this time, they are all running with this huge machine. Naturally, they can't help where they go and what they do, otherwise their flaws will inevitably be exposed.
"Now we have gathered seventy people one after another, which is enough." Cheng Feng said after consideration. It was not just the two of them in the darkness, there were several Yulinqi and white-robed generals, but Tabata Still angry, only Cheng Feng dared to speak.
"Among these seventy people, only thirty are from your Yulin Cavalry," Tabata smiled bitterly, "These people from us in white robes are not necessarily the opponents of Yang Jian's personal bodyguards in head-to-head combat."
The white robes also have a clear division of labor, and now only those who are responsible for spying on intelligence are here. They are better at walking around the streets and picking out the information they want to know from people's mouths, rather than fighting the enemy with knives.
