Chapter 88 Faint Lord 14
Li Zhen continued to read the memorial. Now that the old and the new are changing, nothing can be delayed.Li Zhen picked up the first memorial above, and it turned out to be from two commanders of the Forbidden Army. They said that the training of the Forbidden Army had achieved preliminary results, and asked the emperor for guidance.

Li Zhen is also very curious about the trained imperial army, "Wang Zhong, call the Privy Envoy, and go to see the new imperial army together."

When Li Zhen and the Privy Councilor walked to the gate of the Forbidden Army, they saw the soldiers at the gate standing upright and scanning the surroundings with vigilant eyes.When he saw Li Zhen and others walking towards the Forbidden Army, he immediately came up to stop them.

"What are you doing? This is the forbidden army, you can't enter casually."

Wang Zhong glanced at Li Zhen and saw that Li Zhen was not going to speak. He immediately stepped forward and said, "The Emperor and the Privy Council are here, why can't they come in?"

The soldier froze for a moment, seeming to be a little flustered. After a while, he said: "The general said that anyone who enters must be notified. Wait a minute, I will report."

After he finished speaking, he ran inside, another soldier was still watching vigilantly, and both sides remained silent.

The Privy Councilor secretly glanced at Li Zhen and saw that his face was expressionless. The Privy Councilor felt in his heart that these two soldiers were probably doomed.Even the murderous emperor dared to stop him, and he might be separated from his head and body at the next glance.

After a while, a person came out with the soldiers. Li Zhen saw, who was it not Yu Song?

Yu Song hurriedly saluted and said: "I pay homage to the emperor, the privy envoy. I didn't know that the emperor was coming, so I stopped the emperor. Please forgive me."

The two soldiers at the door also knelt down, their faces pale with fright.It's over, if you stop the emperor, your head will definitely be lost, I just hope that the family will not be affected.

Li Zhen called out in a pleasant manner.He said: "When I read history books, I often envy those troops who enforce orders and prohibit them. Now that I have such an army, I feel very relieved."

Li Zhen asked someone to reward the two soldiers at the door, and followed Yu Song inside.

"Why is Yu Aiqing in the Imperial Army?"

Yu Songdao: "Back to the emperor, the two commanders of the imperial army have invited me to guide you."

"What do Ai Qing think of the Imperial Army?"

"Your Majesty, let me tell you the truth. This forbidden army is really bad. The local army on our border is even better than this. It took me a lot of effort to bring it back."

Hearing this, Li Zhen was not doing well, and the privy envoy became angry first. Although he has always looked down on these soldiers, the Imperial Army is still under his command. No matter how close they are, they can't listen to what others say Custodians are a piece of shit.

The privy envoy said: "General Yu is indeed powerful, but the imperial army is not that bad as an army to protect the emperor."

The privy envoy played a small game and said that the imperial army is the emperor's army. Can you still say that the emperor's army is not as good as yours?Li Zhen also heard it, so he looked at Yu Song with a smile.

But Yu Song didn't have that delicate thought, he said honestly: "Your Majesty, I'm not lying, the imperial army is really not good. Of course, they are all young and healthy. If you help me practice for a few more days, I will definitely be able to do it."

Li Zhen smiled and said: "Well, I'll thank you for your help for a few more days."

Li Zhen opened his mouth, and the privy envoy could no longer hold on to it, but in his heart, the two had formed a bond.

At this time, two command envoys also came over, "Greetings to the emperor, privy envoy, general."

Li Zhen waved his hand, motioning for them to be excused, "Let's go, go and see your newly effective Forbidden Army."

Several people walked all the way to the school grounds, where the Imperial Army was practicing grass stabbing. It looked pretty good, much better than what Li Zhen saw the first time.

However, Yu Song has been guarding the border for many years and has rich experience. Since he said no, it is really not enough.

Li Zhen said: "Yes, it can be seen that the two lovers really put their heart into it, Wang Zhong, thank you."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." The two commanders finally felt relieved.

Li Zhen said: "General Yu has rich experience. I decided to let him help train the Forbidden Army for a period of time. You must learn from him. By the time the soldiers are trained, if you are not qualified as a superior, then what dignity do you have to continue to lead?" Forbidden Army."

"Yes."

After watching the Forbidden Army, Li Zhen took a look at the streets of Chang'an City.Chang'an City was ambiguously divided into the rich area, the noble area, and the civilian area. The first two areas had nothing to see. Li Zhen knew without thinking, they must be doing well.

"Go to the civilian area to have a look." Li Zhen ordered.

Wang Zhong quickly ordered the driver to turn around, and the carriage drove to the civilian area.

The civilian areas are just different settlements naturally formed by people according to their classes, and they are not really called civilian areas.Li Zhen chose a place at random and walked over.

From time to time, pedestrians walked by on the street with smiles on their faces. Li Zhen noticed that many people were walking in the same direction, so he followed.

The destination is a grocery store. Although it is small, it has all the essentials.There were still many people chatting in the grocery store, and Li Zhen stood quietly watching.

A rich man like him must have attracted attention. The shopkeeper immediately spotted him and asked, "Guest, what do you want?"

Li Zhen said: "I just took a casual look, your business here is very good!"

The shopkeeper looked at Li Zhen's expensive clothes, and then at the servant behind him, he must be a strange nobleman.The owner said: "The people around are taking care of the business."

"Lao Li, give me a thread." Someone called out.

The shop owner said to Li Zhen, "Excuse me."

Then, the shopkeeper turned around and took out a ball of thread from inside, "It's still the same, right? Now, 5 Wen."

"5 Wen? Lao Li, less, 3 Wen. For 3 Wen, I will take two balls."

"Indispensable, indispensable, you will have less back, and my store will be destroyed by you."

"Hey, I said, Lao Li, I'm taking care of your business. Why don't I buy from other people? I just trust you. Why don't you pay me a few pennies? Now, the money is here, count it."

The man dropped the money, grabbed two balls of thread and ran away.Li Zhen and the people behind him were dumbfounded.

"Shopkeeper, do you want to report to the police for you?" Li Zhen asked.

"Report to the official? Why should you report to the official?"

"Didn't he steal your line?"

"Cough", the shopkeeper smiled and shook his head, "You don't know, his family is poor and has no money, but he doesn't let me suffer, he will come to help me with things when he is free, I was just teasing him."

The people around said with a smile: "Lao Li, your news is outdated. He has had a better life recently. He heard that the court has issued some decrees that he can borrow money from the court and then pay it back slowly. He borrowed money from the court. Pay back all the money borrowed from Mr. Wang's family, and then slowly pay back the money from the court."

Low interest loan?Li Zhen thought of this all of a sudden, and understood why that person's life was much better.

Li Zhen bid farewell to them, and continued to look elsewhere.

Wang Zhongdao: "Your Majesty, why is it that his life is so much better when he borrows the court's money and repays Mr. Wang's money? Isn't it all borrowing money?"

Li Zhendao: "Borrowing money has interest. Private private loans are usually very high. The court's interest is to benefit the people, so the interest is naturally low. If he wants to pay back the money to the court, he will pay a lot less interest."

It's not complicated at all, Wang Zhong just didn't realize it for a while, he understood as soon as Li Zhen said it, it was just taking advantage of the court.

Now that he encountered interest, Li Zhen thought of the financial system.He is well aware of the impact of the financial system on the country, even if it cannot be fully established, it is necessary to set up a framework and make a plan first.

This again involves people who are proficient in finance. Gao Gong's reform is no problem, but he is not proficient in finance, so he can't help much.There is a high probability that we still need to rely on the Guozijian, let's set a goal first.

"Wang Zhong, you go back and tell the Imperial College to add the calculation to the scientific examination."

Let's take it step by step. Managing the country cannot be accomplished at one stroke. The most important thing is to let future generations continue to follow their own ideas.Education is the top priority.

After returning, Li Zhen convened a political affairs hall meeting and decided to focus on education, and not only to limit it to a certain discipline, but to let a hundred flowers bloom and increase talents in various fields.

This is easy to understand. After all, there have been times in history when a hundred schools of thought contended, but now it is just a recovery.Anyway, the emperor has never played cards according to common sense, and now he just wants to reproduce the scene of a hundred schools of thought contending.OK, okay, no problem.

There is no conflict of interest involved, everyone is very straightforward, of course there is nothing you can do if you don't, who knows if the emperor will sacrifice Jinyiwei if you don't agree.

The matter passed easily, and Li Zhen was very glad that no one had fallen into the stage of crazy worship of Confucianism at this time, otherwise someone would definitely show their ambitions with death, and don't want other schools except Confucianism!
Although Li Zhen is not afraid of killing, it is always better to kill less. After all, killing is only a means of deterrence and cannot be the main method.

Thirty years later, when Li Zhen was playing chess with himself, a man in a dragon robe walked in and saluted, "Father."

"Ah, emperor, if you don't deal with the government affairs, what are you doing here?"

The new emperor's face froze, other people's fathers were eager to hold on to the power and not let go, why did their own father wish to stay away from him!Besides, Ningguo developed so well under the hands of his father, and it was not at the time of his grandfather, who had internal and external troubles, and the country might perish if he didn't pay attention.

"Father, I can't handle your old minister, please help me." The new emperor wailed.

Zhou Hao, a dead old man, keeps staring at me every day. It's either Shuzhen's fault or that fault. In the end, he always has to add a sentence, what happened to the emperor at that time, so that the new emperor will always live in the shadow of his father.

Li Zhen laughed out loud, and gloated: "Now you are the emperor, but I am not."

The emperor curled his lips and told Li Zhen about his pain. Although he was the emperor and his father passed on the throne, the humerus ministers left behind by his father always had a lot of great truths waiting for me.

Li Zhen said: "Do you know why I left you a bunch of old ministers after I abdicated?"

The emperor said: "I know my father is afraid that I will be young and wants them to assist me."

"This is one aspect, but on the other hand, you have to know how to balance your ideas with theirs. They may not be able to keep up with your ideas, but they will ensure the safety of your ideas in the process of realization. Governing the country is not Playing games, one mistake by the emperor may lead to the destruction of countless families, so caution is of the utmost importance.”

The emperor's face became solemn. He had never thought of this. For young relatives like them, their parents' ideas were decadent and backward. The country would definitely get better and better based on its own ideas.

Therefore, although the constrained emperor did not feel that the Supreme Emperor could not let go of his power as others had guessed, he was indeed very angry with those ministers, thinking that they were ashamed of the Emperor's trust and wanted to be powerful ministers.

"Thank you, father, for your guidance. I will go to apologize to Mr. Zhou when I turn around." Xinhuang said.

"There's no need to make amends, Zhou Hao won't care about these things, you just need to pay attention in the future." Li Zhen said.

The new emperor went back with a serious face. Looking at his back, it was clear that he was full of ambition and was going to go back and reflect on himself, and then do a big job.

Li Zhen sighed, "Wang Zhong!"

Wang Zhong quickly agreed, "The Supreme Emperor."

"You tell Zhou Hao and the others to take it easy. If you don't think about yourself, you have to think about future generations, so as to save the emperor some face. Otherwise, after I leave, the emperor will attack them, but no one will stop him."

Wang Zhong knelt down quickly and said, "Your Majesty, you will definitely live a long life."

Li Zhen smiled, "Go, go and talk to them, you know them very well."

Wang Zhong hurriedly went, and told several old officials about the Supreme Emperor's instructions.When Wang Zhong came back again, he found that the Supreme Emperor had passed away peacefully.

Wang Zhong cried loudly, "The Emperor!"

The emperor died, and the whole country mourned.When the veterans of the emperor's time got the news, they immediately kowtowed in the direction of the palace.After the emperor's funeral, several old ministers died one after another.

The emperor's long-thought-out idea of ​​monopolizing power finally succeeded, but the new emperor established an advisory department to allow veterans to continue to participate in government affairs after they retired.
