Chapter 761
Wu Meiniang's appearance is very pitiful, and the Li Ke in Wu Meiniang's mouth will rise to the sky one day, and she will forget the smell of a bad wife and a heartless man. Even Li Ke feels unbearable when he looks at it, as if Li Ke is real. To completely reject Wu Meiniang is to be a heartless and ungrateful person.

Li Ke loves Wu Meiniang very much, so Wu Meiniang's trick has been tried and tested for Li Ke repeatedly. In the past, if Wu Meiniang and Li Ke had any disputes, as long as there was such a quarrel, Li Ke would not back down, but this time Wu Meiniang underestimated Li Ke made up his mind.

Li Ke did this this time for the court, for the country, for Li Zhen, for himself, and also for Wu Meiniang. He must nip the signs in the bud, so Li Ke will definitely persevere.

Li Ke slowly embraced Wu Meiniang, hugged Wu Meiniang in his arms, and said softly to Wu Meiniang: "That's not what I meant, don't think too much about it."

Li Ke treated Wu Meiniang as before. Wu Meiniang was held in Li Ke's arms and stroking her back. It was the same as usual. At first, Wu Meiniang thought it was her own reaction that had an effect. Li Ke would not insist on this matter anymore. We can take this one step further and let Li Ke fully accept the matter.

But Wu Meiniang was clearly wrong. Li Ke is true to cherish her, but he will not violate his own principles. At the critical moment of learning, as the crown prince, you must not make any mistakes. I am busy with government affairs every day, so I may not always be able to watch him, and I still need you to take care of him."

Li Ke's words are very reasonable, after all, the former prince Li Chengqian is a typical example of a crooked person. Li Chengqian was so smart when he was young, but he went astray when he grew up, so that he lost the throne that was easy to get.

Li Ke had good intentions, but when Li Ke's words reached Wu Meiniang's ears, they had a different taste. To Wu Meiniang, Li Ke's so-called rhetoric was just a cover-up, and his purpose was to not want to get in touch with the government.

However, Wu Meiniang is not an ordinary woman. She cannot gradually gain power without contact with the government. Well, Wu Meiniang can't pin all her hopes on Wu Yuanshuang and Wu Yuanqing, these two mediocre talents.

But Wu Meiniang also knows the seriousness. Li Ke let her dote on her because he loves her, not because he is afraid of her.

Wu Meiniang paused for a moment, and then said to Li Ke: "Sanlang won't let me handle the affairs of the court for you, so how can you handle it by yourself? Your age of enthronement is about the same as that of your father, who has done everything by himself for many years. Fucking exhausted, Meiniang doesn't want Sanlang to do the same."

Although Wu Meiniang helped Li Ke to draft the memorial, although she was suspected of interfering in politics, objectively it did help Li Ke save a lot of time. Doubling it really takes a lot of effort.

However, since Li Ke had made up his mind not to let Wu Meiniang interfere in politics, he had already thought of his next move.

Li Ke said: "Thank you, Meiniang, for your concern. Meiniang can rest assured about this matter, I already have a plan."

Li Kezhi's words caught his ears, Wu Meiniang was taken aback for a moment, and then asked: "What is Sanlang's plan?"

Li Ke replied: "I want to set up an Imperial Academy in the west of Rihua Gate and south of Wanchun Hall, taking the meaning of "Wenhan Zhilin", attracting learned scholars to enter the library, granting Hanlin Bachelors, and using it for daily inquiries. I don't have to work too hard every day."

Wu Meiniang asked in puzzlement: "Hanlin Academy? Isn't there already a Hongwen Hall in the East Palace? Why do you need another Hanlin Academy?"

Li Ke replied with a smile: "The Hongwen Museum manages literature, edits and compiles classics, gives lectures, and the Imperial Academy governs politics, consults and discusses affairs, drafts memorials and imperial edicts, and assists in government affairs. The work is different, so naturally it has to be located separately."

Before that, Wu Meiniang was not very clear about the Hanlin Academy that Li Ke was talking about, but now Wu Meiniang understood that the Imperial Academy Li Ke said was a private place set up by the emperor, and she helped Li Ke ask politics and draft memorials, and could do it. There are more things to do than she did before. If this matter is completed, it will indeed help Li Ke save a lot of effort.

But Wu Meiniang is very smart and has a natural sensitivity to politics. When she heard what Li Ke said, she felt something was wrong.

Wu Meiniang asked: "By doing this, Sanlang is distributing the power of the emperor among his courtiers. After all, these courtiers are outsiders. Isn't Sanlang afraid that they will collude with each other and deceive the heavens?"

The implication of Wu Meiniang's words is that if the Hanlin scholars divide the power of the emperor, it will not only make the imperial power less powerful, but also make it possible for the Hanlin scholars to collude with the prime minister. After all, these courtiers are all outsiders. Li Ke.

Li Ke waved his hand and said: "It's not good to be so charming. The drafting system is divided into the Zhongshu and the sect's power, and the consultation and deliberation is divided into the Shangshu and the six departments. I set up the Imperial Academy to divide it into Xiangquan. It's not the imperial power, it's precisely because the Imperial Academy divided the prime minister's power, so they are less likely to collude with the prime minister."

Li Ke paused, and then said: "And I set up the Imperial Academy in the palace, not under the prime minister, and directly under the emperor. As long as I want to abolish the Imperial Academy, I can abolish it at any time, and it will not make a big difference."

The Hanlin Academy that Li Ke said was originally the prototype of the cabinet of the Ming Dynasty 800 years later. After the cabinet, there is no such thing as a "prime minister". Naturally, Li Ke is not worried that this will make the prime minister more powerful. On the contrary, it will make the imperial power even more important.

Before, Wu Meiniang was anxious to refute Li Ke's idea of ​​the Imperial Academy, so she didn't think it through carefully. Now listening to Li Ke's words, Wu Meiniang has already understood.

The Hanlin bachelor gathers the talents of Shusheren, Huangmen servant, and left and right prime ministers in one body. If the Hanlin Academy can become more and more formed, it will be one of the ways for Li Ke to control the prime minister and control the court.

In Wu Meiniang's view, the appearance of the Hanlin Academy replaced her, and Wu Meiniang had never heard of the Hanlin Academy before, so it was naturally Li Ke's own idea, and it would never take a day or two to come up with such an idea It can be seen that Li Ke has made deliberate efforts to alienate himself from the government.

For a while, Wu Meiniang didn't have any good arguments to persuade Li Ke. After all, the queen's political affairs were at odds with reason.Moreover, Wu Meiniang would not know that the rudimentary form of the Imperial Academy Li Ke mentioned was the Beimen Bachelor who was supposed to be established 20 years later by her to divide the power of the prime minister and interfere in the government.

Just when Wu Meiniang didn't know what to do, Xi Junmai also came outside the hall.

"Your Majesty, Qin Taibao and the others have arrived by order, and are waiting outside the hall now." Xi Junmai stood outside the hall and said to Li Ke.

Seeing this, Wu Meiniang knew that Li Ke still had important matters to discuss, so she resigned wisely and went back to the Lizheng Hall first.
