Work overtime

Chapter 110 Hard work at night

He poked the younger son's forehead again, "Xiao Liu, after you pretend to be sick to scare your mother, you will be given three bowls of bitter medicine every day. You are so naughty when you are about to get married and become the groom's official. Now that we're all here, let's have lunch with Ai's family."

After the sixth prince took the small porcelain vase, he immediately regained his vitality, and said with a smile, "Mother is mighty~"

Li Beichen looked disgusted, too lazy to talk to him, and sipped his tea carefully, pretending not to care.

The scrolls hanging on the wall look more magnificent in this hall than in the inner hall.

After he came down to court, he had heard that his mother took Jiang Yuebai back to the Palace of Compassion and Ning in a chariot, and took Xiaobai to the Palace of Compassion and Ning to recover from his illness.

All the way to swagger through the market, the limelight is unparalleled.

I don't know if this painting was given by Xiaobai on his own initiative, or if the queen mother asked for it.

Seeing that the emperor did not speak, the queen mother and the sixth prince followed his gaze to look at the writing on the wall.

"Mother, it's good to hang this calligraphy here." Li Beichen said with a smile.

The sixth prince looked disgusted, "How can you praise yourself, and the elder brother doesn't sell melons, so it's not good."

"The sons of the Ai family have always written well. Xiao Liu, your handwriting is also good." The Queen Mother praised with a smile.

It can be seen that it is not that one family does not enter the family, the emperor's self-confidence is inherited from the ancestors.

"Thank you mother for your praise." The sixth prince replied with a smile.

"But it's still far behind your brother's handwriting."

The queen mother didn't mind being a bad person at all, and immediately hailstormed when she was given some sunshine, and said leisurely,
"Beichen, this tea was given by your eldest aunt. There are three boxes in total. You will take one box and Xiao Liu one box later. I heard that Xiao Liu is going to get married, so yesterday the aunts came to sit in the palace. Two cousins ​​also entered the palace together.

If it weren't for seeing that the emperor has been busy with government affairs, he should have met them.Your cousin Li Chang'an is fourteen years old, she is very intelligent, the Ai family likes her very much, what does the emperor think? "

The atmosphere suddenly dropped by 20 degrees.

The three of them knew very well that the reason why the queen mother said these words was naturally because the emperor favored the queen last night.

The queen mother's maternal ancestors have an intricate relationship with the royal family, with luxuriant branches and many descendants.Li Beichen doesn't remember his cousin Li Changan at all.

In history, after the development of the power of foreign relatives, nothing good has always happened. Wang Mang's chaos in the country is a typical example.

"The queen mother chose for the son, which is naturally excellent. Everything is arranged by the queen mother. When does the queen mother think it is appropriate to call her into the palace?" Li Beichen said with a smile, "I'm afraid Concubine Hui will be sad if she finds out."

If you agree, it will be easy.

The queen mother breathed a sigh of relief. She was afraid that her son would refuse for various reasons.

"It's not in a hurry, just enter the palace for Ai's birthday next month. Concubine Hui, Ai's go talk.

I heard that the emperor had beheaded the Minister of the Household Department in court yesterday.Relying on their own merits, those old courtiers not only failed to do things, but also contradicted the emperor.Some people deserve to be killed, and not killing is not enough to establish prestige.Su Chuan said that the Minister of the Household Department was greedy for money and lustful. Since the time of the first emperor, he was afraid that he was greedy a lot, so he just ransacked his home to make up for the shortfall in the national treasury.

But always killing meritorious ministers is easy to chill people's hearts.The emperor's foundation is not stable, so he still needs to be cautious and give more benevolent policies. "

When the young emperor ascends the throne, it is normal for old ministers to be difficult to use.

He has deep seniority, high rank, and great power, so he is either doing bad things in his duties and hoping for nothing, or he is busy forming cliques for personal gain, and strife between parties and colleagues.

From time to time, he would compare him with the first emperor, put on his old-fashioned and pedantic face, and pick and choose his opinions to him, euphemistically calling it persuasion.A look of angrily scolding the faint king, unyielding in might, waiting to be bestowed by the faint king to die, and to be famous in history.

To be an emperor, you have to not get angry, be magnanimous, and be kind.

"If you want to tell me, it's because the elder brother is too kind and lenient, so he kills less. If you cut off a few more heads, they will know what to say, what not to say, what to do, and what not to do." The sixth child Said indignantly.

"Mother, those people have nothing to do with themselves in the court, but they are actually tricky, taking advantage of interests, and don't want to do things for the emperor."

"Thank you, Empress, for reminding me." Li Beichen said respectfully, "The Ministry of Household Affairs is the most important thing in the country. It is in charge of household registration, population, land taxation, money and food. Now the post of Minister of the Household Department is absent. I remember a cousin called Li Keqin, who has read poetry and books, is diligent and honest, let him report to the household department, lead the household department member Wailang, and supervise the money and food for me, what does the mother think?"

The Empress Dowager nodded in satisfaction, arranged people from her natal family in the front and rear palaces, and replied with a smile, "Very good."

In fact, Li Beichen also has his own plans.

If you don't want to always act according to the face of the veterans, you have to change your blood, which means that you must gradually cultivate a group of reliable confidants to control the main departments.

When I was young, I was different from the middle-aged people. I had more ambitions, pursued progress, endured hardships, and worked overtime.

Many of the cards that can be played against these veterans can be played.

Foreign relatives are naturally one of them.

Foreign relatives may not necessarily be in the same boat as the emperor, but they are definitely not in the same boat as the minister.As long as no one from the mother clan is allowed to be the queen, and the prince of the mother clan's blood is allowed to inherit the throne, then nothing can be said.

"My brother has sacrificed a lot for the sake of the country and the country. It will be fatal for the light, rain and dew. Like last night, I have to work overtime and work hard for the country and the people. My brother really admires it."

The sixth child is best at picking which pot is left open, and he came from the same school as Zhen Wanyi.

The Queen Mother's old face couldn't hold back when she said this.Since ancient times, there are only exhausted oxen, but there is no plowed field.

The queen mother cleared her throat and looked at Li Beichen, "The queen is not feeling well this morning, so she came to the Palace of Compassion and Peace to greet her. She said it was in accordance with the rules of the ancestors. If this is spread, I am afraid it will cause people to discuss it. Xie Jiana It's not easy to explain."

You guys made such a mess that you called an ambulance in the middle of the night.

How decent is it to spread the word!

The Xie family knew that the empress had been widowed for three or four years, so she could not uphold justice for her, and then there would be another disturbance.

The sixth child gloated openly, "Brother must have his own difficulties."

If you want to tell me, I don't know my difficulties.shut up.Li Beichen gave his younger brother a hard look.

"The queen mother taught me the lesson. My son will be careful in the future." In front of his younger brother, Li Beichen was embarrassed by his mother's concern about the intercourse issue, and pretended to cough twice.

"I have been promoted to the rank of the mistress of the Xie family, and I have promoted the title of the eldest brother of the queen to the same rank, and sent some rewards to the house. The third and sixth brothers will go to the northern line next month in the name of fiefdom, which will inevitably cause gratitude. Everyone is suspicious. This can also take the opportunity to appease them a little, and stabilize them first."

The rank can only be raised slowly little by little, there must be room, and the promotion cannot be too fast.

First, the cost is too high;

Second, it is difficult to motivate subordinates;
Three, the higher the position, the harder it is to manage, and the harder it is to break up in the future;
Fourth, it is easy to cause adverse effects on other colleagues and form a negative stimulus.

This is also the reason why Jiang Yuebai was only promoted to one level in recognition of saving his life to save others.

The days are still long.
