Chapter 85 Faint Lord 11
Li Zhen is also very concerned about these girls. Although he doesn't like to choose many people into the palace, some people with political meaning still want to stay.If high-ranking officials such as prime ministers and political advisers have daughters in the palace, they must stay.

As for the queen, Li Zhen hoped that the background would be simpler and that she should have wrists, but not a femme fatale.

Nearly a month later, Wang Zhonghui reported: "Your Majesty, the barbarians in Guangning have retreated."

Wang Zhong's face was full of joy. Now the emperor is most worried about Guangning. Now that the barbarians have retreated, this is a great thing.

Li Zhen was also very happy. Although he knew that the barbarians would definitely retreat, he still felt worried when he didn't hear the news. Now that the barbarians have really retreated, it is really happy.

Li Zhen said: "Okay, pass the decree, the general of the town, Yu Song, made great contributions to rescuing Guangning and Hedong, and was named General Dingyuan. Fang, you can be granted the title of fifth-rank viscount, and you can attack."

When Li Zhen was happy, he was rewarded again and again. This time, no one dared to challenge him, and the rewards were sent out smoothly.

After paying attention to this mess, Li Zhen's eyes returned to the palace. The investigation of those women was almost over, and their performances were also on Li Zhen's table.

Among them, Li Tong, the daughter of Prime Minister Li Qi, will definitely stay, and then the daughter of Yu Shi Zhongcheng will also stay. Li Zhen is going to let him give up his seat to Li Chang. This should be regarded as compensation for him. The daughter of Wei Guogong, Um?There is also a daughter of a ninth rank official?
The people Li Zhen wanted to keep were from famous families anyway, and their performances were all among the top few.But what surprised him was how did the daughter of a ninth-rank official manage to behave so well?

It's not that it discriminates against bad family background, but sometimes people's vision and knowledge are linked to family background. Choosing a concubine is not just based on beauty, but also on character and talent.

However, since her performance is so good, it is not justified not to choose her.In the end, Li Zhen decided to keep her, just to give those people a dream of counterattack.

Li Qi's daughter was named a noble concubine, Yushi Zhongcheng's daughter was named a virtuous concubine, Wei Guogong's daughter was named a concubine Shu, and the daughter of a ninth-rank official was named an concubine.Choose a day to enter the palace.

Li Zhen did not choose a queen in this draft because he did not see a better woman than the imperial concubine, but the imperial concubine, as long as the prime minister is in court for a day, Li Zhen cannot let her be the empress.It's not that I'm worried that I won't be able to suppress her, but I just don't want my relatives to become too powerful.

However, the noble concubine is also the person with the highest status in the palace at present. There is no empress dowager or queen in the palace. The noble concubine is the head of the harem.

The noble concubine has the highest status and is the last to enter the palace.After she enters the palace, the other concubines will greet her.

In Yanfu Palace, the noble concubine was sitting at the head, Concubine Xian, Concubine Shu and Concubine An saluted and said, "I pay my respects to your concubine."

The noble concubine said: "Get up, I'm not a very disciplined person, but I can't have no rules at all. I hope that everyone will keep their duties in the future, so that the emperor can see a peaceful harem."

When Li Zhen walked in, he saw a little girl trying to admonish the concubine with a sullen face. This scene made him want to laugh.

When the noble concubine saw Li Zhen coming in, she immediately stood up and saluted, and the concubine with her back to the door also reacted and turned to salute.

Ninja Li Zhen smiled and said, "Get up."

After dismissing the others, Li Zhen took a serious look at this little girl for the first time. She looked thirteen or fourteen years old, with a small round face, and looked extremely cute.Li Zhen felt that this was not his daughter-in-law, but his daughter.

"Your Majesty, why are you looking at me like that?" The imperial concubine pouted, acting coquettish, but her eyes were a little disturbed. I heard that the emperor is a moody person!

Li Zhen patted her hand and comforted: "Don't be afraid."

Seeing the imperial concubine calm down, Li Zhen hesitated.It stands to reason that one should do something that should be done between a man and a woman.Li Zhen's soul has been a ghost for many years, and he doesn't care about the difference between men and women, but no matter what, he can't do anything to Xiao Luoli.

It's too small to make people feel guilty, so let's raise it again!
Li Zhen hugged the imperial concubine without saying a word all night.

A few days later, Gao Gong, whom Li Zhen had been looking forward to for a long time, finally came to the capital. Of course, it was not a job report, it was still early.Mainly, Wang Zhong saw that the emperor was really anxious, so he went to the Ministry of Officials to give a hint, and the Ministry of Officials made an excuse to arrange for Gao Gong to come back.

Li Zhen didn't care how Gao Gong came back. Now he just wanted to see someone quickly. Can he become his own Shang Yang?
Under Li Zhen's expectation, Gao Gong quickly entered the palace.

"Your Majesty." Gao Gong saluted.

"Ai Qing, hurry up and get rid of the courtesy."

Li Zhen looked at the middle-aged man in front of him. If he was counted according to this era, he should already be considered an old man, but he still looked energetic, not at all emaciated.

Seeing that Li Zhen hadn't spoken, Gao Gong asked, "I don't know why the emperor summoned his ministers?"

Li Zhen was taken aback, he had never seen such a courageous courtier, but it was Gao Gong who did this, so it was not surprising.

"Gao Aiqing, I'm very curious about you!"

"Does your majesty think it's strange to have a minister's ups and downs in the officialdom? In fact, there is nothing strange about it. The minister is very proficient in the theory of ghosts and gods. Both the emperor and the Emperor Shenzong want to live forever. Naturally, they will not kill the minister, but they can't tolerate the minister. The minister is the master of the country. As a result, the two emperors only cared about ghosts and gods."

Gao Gong's words were very bold, almost blatantly accusing the two emperors, but he was not false at all, as long as he was an emperor, no one would want to live forever, and he would definitely not kill himself.

Li Zhen raised his eyebrows, "Since Aiqing said that she has a good strategy for governing the country, let's talk about the current situation of Ning Dynasty."

Gao Gong said: "Your Majesty, Ningguo is very dangerous now."

Um? "Gao Aiqing mean a barbarian country? They have already retreated."

"Your Majesty, I don't mean the barbarian country. Everything is broken from the inside. This is the reason why the barbarian country invaded. Now Ning country has reached the point where it will perish if it doesn't change, Your Majesty."

"Then how do you change it?" Li Zhen's tone was very cold. As an emperor, he was said to be about to perish, so it's strange that he looked pretty.

Gao Gong didn't care about the emperor's emotions at all, he said: "Your Majesty, the situation of the Ning Dynasty has a precedent in history. Any dynasty will have a series of problems in the middle period, and the land and bureaucratic problems are especially serious. The king is like a boat; Or, water, water can carry a boat, and it can also overturn it. If the power of the people is exhausted, the country will not be far from subjugation.”

"I believe that the official system needs to be reformed first. The current official system is too numerous and the functions are not clearly defined, which leads to the inefficiency of the court; secondly, it is necessary to reduce or exempt agricultural taxes and promulgate policies suitable for farmers so that the people can cultivate themselves; thirdly"

Li Zhen listened to Gao Gong's eloquent talk. These methods are very suitable for the current situation of Ningguo. As long as there is no problem in implementation, they are definitely beneficial to the country.
