Chapter 84 Faint Lord 10
"Back to the emperor, Gao Gong wrote a letter to the queen mother, saying that everyone is equal, and the emperor is the same as the common people. The emperor and the queen mother were furious, and Gao Gong was demoted from Beijing. Prime Minister, and then he wrote a letter to talk about his ideas, and was demoted from the capital by the emperor."

Li Fu felt that Gao Gong was really lucky that the two emperors didn't kill him, leaving him running around until today.

Li Zhen was surprised, everyone is equal, now you have this idea?However, in the feudal era, everyone is equal, and there is always a feeling of courting death.

"Remind me when Gao Gong returns to Beijing to report on his work." Li Zhen was very curious about this Gao Gong. Is he beyond the times or is there a loophole in this time and space?

Li Zhen continued to read the memorial. The prime minister recommended by the third envoy is a great Confucian. Although he is white, he has a great influence among the people.

Those recommended by the six ministers are all old ministers, nothing new, and not Li Zhen's ideal candidate for prime minister.

At present, the only thing that makes Li Zhen curious is Gao Gong, but judging from this person's behavior, he can't be the prime minister, otherwise the court doesn't know where he will be taken.

Li Zhen thought about it, and the main purpose of participating in political affairs is to weaken the power of the prime minister, summarize national affairs, and implement government orders.Now that the prime minister is gone, the six ministries can go out independently, and the burden of participating in political affairs is very light, and there is no need to have a prime minister.

However, the reform of official positions has to be done slowly. After the six ministries become independent, what things need to be taken care of?The Duplication of Duties between the Ministry of Households and the Third Division, the Ministry of War and the Privy Council, and the Ministry of Rites and the Supervisors must be clarified, otherwise it will definitely cause turmoil.

Li Zhen issued a decree: "Li Qi, who is a political adviser, will be the prime minister, and Tang Yu, Minister of the Ministry of War, will be a political adviser."

Tang So was pleasantly surprised. He had never thought that he would become the deputy prime minister one day. It was indeed right to seek refuge with the emperor.

In addition to these two most eye-catching official positions, there are also middle- and lower-level officials who have been investigated by Jin Yiwei before, and all Jinshi in this session of Enkede have been promoted.

Among them, the number one scholar Li Chang and the second place Wu Ying both went to the Imperial Academy, and Tanhua Weilun went to the Ministry of War.Li Zhen didn't forget Zhou Hao who was still in Huainan. As long as he could make meritorious service and come back, a Censor Zhongcheng would be indispensable.

The Yushi Terrace really needs to be cleaned up. The current Yushi Zhongcheng is not courageous, so let's replace it with someone who is determined and capable.

After dealing with these urgent matters, Li Zhen had the news to turn around and pay attention to some minor issues.Some time ago, Li Zhen seemed to be very leisurely, even having someone to approve his memorials, but he was always calculating the current situation in his mind.

If there is any problem with the army, food, officials, or the Supreme Emperor, they will lose everything.

Now that he could finally breathe a sigh of relief, Li Zhen asked: "How is the war going ahead? Is there any news from Huainan? How is the situation in Hedong? Where is the information from local officials?"

Wang Zhong hurriedly brought a bunch of memorials, and cleverly pulled Fang Bai, the commander of Jinyiwei, into the Ministry of Internal Affairs to know Li Fu, and he was about to ask for a summary, and he couldn't do it before everyone arrived.

Wang Zhong divided the categories and introduced to Li Zhen: "Your Majesty, this is a memorial from the governor of Hedong. After the barbarians retreated, Hedong gradually returned to normal and the people lived in harmony. This is a memorial from Master Zhou. There is indeed a drought in Huainan. But it has basically stabilized now. This is a memorial to Guangning. The barbarians have been unable to attack Guangning for a long time, and there are already signs of retreat. General Yu estimates that the barbarians have retreated recently."

It sounds like things are going great.

"Fang Bai, what's the news from your side?"

Fang Bai said: "Back to the emperor, the east of the river that Jin Yiwei inspected was severely damaged. Many cities in the remote areas were burned, killed and looted. The barbarians had plundered enough, and then retreated after seeing the arrival of reinforcements. The situation in Huainan is basically a memorial. There are people in Guangning who are having an affair with the barbarians and selling many things that the barbarians need."

"Where's Li Fu?"

Li Fudao: "Back to the emperor, I still need some time to sort out the situation in the palace. There is nothing happening at the moment."

Li Zhen also understood, after all, Li Fu had been working in the imperial army, if anything happened in the palace, Wang Zhong would have told him already.

Hedong, Guangning, Hedong, Guangning, Li Zhen wandered back and forth, talking about these two states, and several people in the hall dared not speak.

"Wang Zhong, let people escort all the officials from the top to the bottom of Hedong back to Beijing, let Li Chang go to be the governor of Hedong, and the Ministry of officials will pick people to fill other vacancies, and tell those new officials, whoever dares to make a mistake, don't worry about it. Blame me for being merciless."

Li Zhen was full of anger in his heart, Wang Zhong didn't dare to say more, and turned around to pass the decree.Hedong, the officials must have been miserable this time.

"Wang Zhong, pass the decree that all taxes except the commercial tax will be exempted in Hedong for three years."

Li Fu said carefully: "Yes."

"Fang Bai, I need you to go to Guangning, bring more people, and catch those moths that eat inside and outside, and I will give you the right to kill first and then play."

"Yes." Fang Bai replied.

Li Zhen knew that Ningguo was bad, it was normal, any dynasty would develop problems to a certain extent, but what made him particularly angry was that there were always some people who did not distinguish between the enemy and the enemy for the sake of money.

Those who died were all harmed by these traitors. They were sucking the blood of Daning!Idiots, these idiots, if Daning is not good, what good can they do? Do they think the barbarian country will really take them seriously?

After being angry for a while, Li Zhen also calmed down. These people can't make sense, and only Dao can recover their conscience, so let Dao talk to them.However, the reform of the official system also needs to be put on the agenda, and Li Zhen needs a reformer.

But this kind of encounter can not be sought, not any emperor can meet Shang Yang.Li Zhen now only hopes that Gao Gong is really the one he is waiting for, and Li Chang is also fine, but he is too immature and needs to grow up. Before that, someone needs to pave the way for him.

The next day, the court meeting.Li Zhen announced: "It has been a year since I ascended the throne, and I dare not slack off. Now that the barbarians are no longer a concern, I have decided to choose a virtuous woman to enter the harem."

The officials' eyes lit up, this question is okay, I will.Who doesn't have a few beautiful little girls, even if their own family doesn't have one, aren't there any in the Nine Clans?As long as there is a girl in the family who enters the palace, she is a relative of the emperor, not to mention being a duke and a marquis, at least the risk of facing the emperor is less.

Besides, if my daughter really becomes a queen, she will have both feet in the ranks of the powerful, and she will be rich for at least three generations.

This is good news. After the ministers returned, those who had daughters looked for daughters one after another, and those without daughters looked for their families. At worst, they crowdfunded a beautiful little girl.

These girls need to live in the palace for a month from entering the palace to finally becoming the masters of the harem. Those who are selected stay, and those who are not selected leave.Of course, girls who can go to the palace have their own advantages, otherwise they won't even be able to enter the palace.
