The first rebel of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 2080 The Imperial Power Has Changed
At the same time, the current time in Datang is around 5 pm.

And in the Tai Chi sky.

Li Shimin was very angry at this time.

He was firing at a group of eunuchs.

"You bastards! You can't even clean a Tai Chi Palace. What are you doing for food?"

Obviously he had a problem with these eunuchs.

Just two hours ago, he found that weeds were overgrown in Tai Chi Palace.

So he was ordered to let the eunuch clean it.

But as soon as it was cleaned here, the task could not be completed as scheduled.

This made Li Shimin very angry.

Pointing at these eunuchs is a scolding meal.

The eunuchs were scolded by him and dared not say a word.

At this time Li Shimin said again: "Where did everyone go? Why are you alone?"

He was very puzzled, because there were quite a lot of eunuchs in the Taiji Palace before, but now there are only a dozen or so eunuchs in front of him.

The leading eunuch said softly: "Your Majesty! There are less than 200 eunuchs in the palace now, and less than 300 palace maids. The Taiji Palace is very large. It is impossible for us to clean it in a short time! Please Your Majesty will give us more time, and the little one will definitely clean it up."

But Li Shimin didn't listen to their sophistry.

"You people. You're just making excuses. Don't think I don't know, you're just being lazy. Even if there are 200 people, what's wrong? 200 people can do a lot of things."

Obviously, Li Shimin didn't listen to them.

At this time the eunuch said: "Your Majesty does not know! 200 eunuchs will be distributed to work in the palaces of various concubines. Including the maids, there are actually less than 30 people assigned to our Taiji Palace."

When Li Shimin heard this, he shouted directly: "Impossible! Absolutely impossible. As far as I know, there should be about 2000 eunuchs in Tai Chi Palace, not the 200 you said. You must be lying, right?"

As soon as these words came out, the eunuch was terrified.

To lie to Li Shimin is a crime of deceiving the emperor, and he might be beheaded.

So, he said: "Your Majesty, I dare not lie to you! Some time ago, the imperial court repatriated many old eunuchs. In recent years, the number of eunuchs has increased less and less, and there is not even a new one in a month." Come in.

The same is true for the court ladies, many of whom were sent out of the palace.They regained their freedom to live.There are also some old, weak, sick and disabled people who were also removed from the palace.There are really not many people who can be in the palace now. "

At this point, Li Shimin remembered that there really was such a thing.

In the previous case of insufficient female population, he did let many court ladies out of the palace.

There is no restriction on their freedom.

But now because of a large number of leaving the palace, there is not enough manpower.

Li Shimin was very indignant about this.

I don't think the eunuch can be blamed for this.

How busy are they all?

So he quickly called Dai Zhou.

"Come on, pass on Dai Zhou! You all go down!"

The eunuch asked at this time: "Then do we need to clean it?"

"Why don't you know? If you didn't do well, let me clear it up."

Li Shimin said so.

"Yes!"

Then Dai Zhou was taken into the palace.

He was very puzzled, what Li Shimin was looking for him at this time.

I don't have to be on duty now.

After he entered the palace, he still didn't ask Li Shimin why he let him enter the palace.

Instead, Li Shimin asked first: "Dai Zhou, tell me, what's going on?"

Dai Zhou was bewildered.

"Your Majesty, what's going on?"

Only then did Li Shimin realize that he hadn't explained it to Dai Zhou.

I just talked to the eunuch just now.

He didn't talk to Dai Zhou about it.

Therefore, Dai Zhou was confused.

"I ask you, why are there fewer and fewer eunuchs and maids in the palace? I want you to give me an explanation."

Only then did Dai Zhou realize that this was the case.

Shouldn't Li Shimin know about this?
But if he doesn't know, then explain it yourself.

So, he said: "Your Majesty, do you remember the previous incident? About letting the maid out of the palace. Besides, the number of eunuchs has indeed decreased in recent years. Because no one is a eunuch anymore, and eunuchs are also It is no longer a means for people to earn a living.

Since the money given by the imperial court was getting less and less, no one came to be a eunuch.After all, it is to lose something important to oneself.

Not only eunuchs, but also fewer and fewer court ladies, and everyone's income has increased.Therefore, everyone will no longer sell their daughters into the palace.

In addition, in the past two years, some eunuchs died of old age, sickness and death accounted for about [-]%.

So the number will decrease. "

Li Shimin didn't speak, and Dai Zhou said: "As for some things, sometimes it is not a last resort, and you can only choose warriors instead, but warriors are men after all, and it is very inconvenient for them to enter this deep palace backyard.

So more often eunuchs do these things. "

He said so, it is already very clear.

Li Shimin also heard clearly.

"Then you don't have an idea?"

Li Shimin asked this instead.

Dai Zhou actually had an idea, but he never had a chance to say it.

At this time, it is time to talk.

So, he said: "Your Majesty, I have an immature idea."

"you say!"

"Can we let people from Shengtang Group train people for us, some people who are in charge of the palace?"

On this point, Li Shimin has his own ideas.

"I don't think it's possible," he said.

"why?"

"Because the personnel training of Shengtang Group has become very important now, you ask them for people again. Isn't that the way to break the development? It also breaks the way to the Tang Dynasty. I don't agree with you doing this."

In this way, Dai Zhou's plan is not feasible.

Then, Dai Zhou thought for a while and said, "Why don't you ask the Seventh Prince to come over and see if he can solve this problem?"

If Li Yun finds out about this, he must thank Dai Zhou.

This guy actually caused trouble for himself.

When Li Shimin heard it, it seemed reasonable.

"It's okay for you to say that. Let's see if the Shengtang Group can solve this problem. If they can handle it well, that's naturally the best."

"Yes, Your Majesty! At that time, he can also find the Sixth Prince to deal with it. Then it is tantamount to letting the entire Shengtang Group find a way, and the Sixth Prince's solution must be good." Dai Zhou said again.

This old boy really knows how to think, let Li Yin know, I have to thank him.

"All right, come and let Li Yun enter the palace!" Li Shimin said immediately.

And then someone went to Shengtang Group to invite Li Yun.

Li Yun's mood at this time is very difficult to describe in words.

It wasn't long since I went there last time, so why do I have to deal with things again.

Only Li Shimin has a lot to do.

But Li Shimin called, and it was impossible not to go.

In the end, he could only go by touching his nose.
