Xiao Xiang said in a low voice: "The harem has been passed down to ten, and it has been passed down a hundred times. Your Majesty must not be so soft-spoken next time. Sister Fan'er, the palace maid who sent the message, is already being dealt with. Your Majesty will keep them this time."
Down?"
"Leave these maids here." Li Xingchen said with a bitter smile.
It is not a good thing that His Majesty the Emperor has soft ears, especially after word spreads and falls into the ears of interested people, there is no telling what changes will occur.
As His Majesty the Emperor, Li Xingchen is no longer the young man who could vent his complaints at will. His every word, deed, and move may be caught and exploited by others.
It is best for an emperor to be perfect. Once a weakness is discovered, it may be used to seize power.
Even though Li Xingchen can definitely be regarded as the emperor with real power now, he cannot let his weaknesses be exposed easily. If everyone knows that His Majesty cannot bear the pillow wind, I am afraid that some monsters and monsters will be born in the harem in the future.
Li Xingchen had to admit that he was indeed negligent in this regard, but fortunately, Yuchi Chifan and Xiao Xiang were not "pregnant for three years". Lechang asked them to accompany Li Xingchen northward in the hope that they could help
Li Xingchen checked for deficiencies and filled them up. Judging from the current situation, they should still be very competent.
Nowadays, the territory of the Han Dynasty is getting larger and larger, and the national power is getting stronger and stronger. The thoughts of people inside and outside the court must be becoming more and more complicated. As the supreme emperor, Li Xingchen naturally has to be as careful as possible in this regard.
Strengthening centralization and imperial power is on the one hand to ensure that no obvious shortcomings and weaknesses are exposed. Obviously, on the other hand, the emperor can only avoid returning to his original state by constantly strengthening his authority while trying to shape his own image as perfectly as possible.
There are daring people who want to "fake the power of the fox and the tiger".
As the position gets higher and higher, more and more people want to covet this position.
If you want to secure this position, you must be able to shoulder a heavier burden.
Li Xingchen looked at the pale sun in the sky, feeling silent in his heart.
Some things are really hard to stick to.
"Your Majesty?" Xiao Xiang gently held Li Xinchen's hand. She knew what her husband was worried about. When they first met in Jiangling, Li Xinchen was a high-spirited and beautiful young man. A few years later, although he was still the same person, his position had changed.
It's not where it was before.
Is it so easy to do what we do today with the same intention we had at the beginning?
The world is far more sinister and cunning than you imagine. If you treat it with sincerity, I'm afraid it won't be that easy to go on.
"I will be careful." Li Xingchen held Xiao Xiang's hand tightly.
No matter what, he will never give up whether it is to realize his ideals or to protect the people around him.
Since the road ahead is difficult, Li Xingchen doesn't mind being fully equipped.
"I want to check the people around me carefully." Li Xingchen said calmly.
Although nothing happened this time, the incident in the imperial study room spread throughout the harem so quickly. This was something Li Xingchen never expected. No matter whether these loud-mouthed maids were just because of their desire to tell, or because of their
There were some people standing behind him, and Li Xingchen wanted to tell them that the world belonged to Li Xingchen, and the one-third of an acre of land in the palace was an absolute restricted area.
Things that shouldn't be done must never happen.
The fourth day of the first lunar month in the second year of the Han Dynasty.
On Wuguan Road.
A heavy snowstorm passed by not long ago, and the snow covered the mountain roads, making the mountains in the distance and the roads nearby look a bit desolate and solemn.
The cars heading south passed slowly. This is His Majesty's royal chariot convoy. Everything must be prudent and prudent, so I would rather slow down. But fortunately in this weather, even on the always busy Wuguan Road, there are not many pedestrians.
Yes, he was stopped from a distance by the bodyguards.
Li Xingchen planned to leave Chang'an in December, but some things were beyond his control. After convening the ministers, Li Xingchen discovered that the mess in Chang'an had only been sorted out.
Therefore, time dragged on, and it was almost January. Finally, when Li Xingchen left Chang'an, it was already the first day of the Lunar New Year, and he still ushered in the first day of the second year of the new year in the north.
But at least Li Xingchen could say that he didn't do nothing in Chang'an.
When Li Xingchen left Chang'an, the entire administrative division of Guanzhong had been completed.
From Binzhou, which is connected to the northwest, to Qizhou, which is connected to Hanzhong, to Chang'an Prefecture, to Huazhou in the east and Yinzhou in the north, the Han Dynasty spent a lot of money to establish five states, which is equivalent to dividing Guanzhong into five major parts.
Binzhou is the area from Xiaoguan to Chang'an. In fact, it is not much larger than the original Binzhou. Yinzhou is also similar. It is just the sum of Wuyuan, Yinzhou and Yanzhou. This is mainly because places like the former need to be resettled.
Li Yan was a senior general who was demoted, and the latter was on the northern front facing Yu Wenxian.
The situation in Huazhou and Yinzhou is similar, except that the territory includes the entire north and south of Huashan Mountain, and Wuguan is also one of them. Obviously, this is the Han Dynasty in order to coordinate the forces on the eastern front, from the Huazhou area to the northeast
Luoyang can be attacked, and Nanyang can be connected to the southeast, making it completely become the gateway for the Han Dynasty to enter Shandong under Xiao Shilian's control.
The situation in Qizhou is a little different. According to Li Xingchen's instructions, Qizhou is preparing to merge with Hanzhong into a state, allowing Guanzhong to cross the Qinling Mountains and penetrate into the north of Bashu. This is the first time in history that Hanzhong no longer belongs to Bashu.
It belongs to the traditional scope of Guanzhong across the Qinling Mountains.
The significance of this is naturally very obvious, which is to form an intertwined administrative system. However, at least from the current situation, Li Xinchen's use of Hanzhong to contain Guanzhong is more significant than using Hanzhong to contain Bashu. After all, compared to Bashu, Guanzhong is more important to the Han Dynasty.
The centrifugal force is relatively stronger.
Li Xingchen started from Bashu. In the hearts of Bashu, this is where the Han Dynasty flourished, so their loyalty to the Han Dynasty can also be imagined. In addition, what policies, systems and even advanced equipment Li Xingchen has adopted in recent years will be
Choosing Bashu as a priority pilot site is worthy of the heartfelt support of the people of Bashu for so many years.
Li Xingchen lived up to the people of Sichuan, and the people of Sichuan lived up to Li Xingchen. We all got along very happily, and there was no need to talk about any separation.
On this basis, Li Xingchen also established the governor of Guanzhong and the governor of Jiuyuan. The former's task was obviously to coordinate various affairs in Guanzhong. As expected, this official position fell to Chen Shushen, who performed best during Li Xingchen's journey north to Guanzhong.
, compared to the Taiwei Mansion, the civil servants did shine this time. Without their efforts, there would naturally be no stability after Chang'an.
