His Majesty once married me

On the first day of April, Ouyang, who had just moved out of the summer palace for less than three days, returned to the palace again to attend the twice-a-month grand court meeting in Xuanyuan Palace.

Standing in the leftmost corner of the front row of the hall as always, Ouyang was more sleepy and tired than before.

It takes longer to go from outside the palace to the inside of the palace, and the time to wake up earlier is one aspect, but the more important thing is that after entering the palace, Qi Yunheng, who had been away for a few days, took him to hold a time in the Qiankun Palace. Short but fierce and intense "Morning Dynasty".Then, Qi Yunheng went to sit and rest on the dragon chair refreshed, but Ouyang continued to stand in the hall with his waist sore and legs weak.

——It's really unfair!

——Don't come to the next morning at all, and enter the palace again when you are resting and taking a bath!

While Ouyang was indignantly thinking wildly, he listened to the officials' melodies with his left ear in and his right ear out.

The matter of encouraging childbearing was suppressed by Qi Yunheng, who called it back and asked him to re-draft on the grounds that the regulations drafted by the Ministry of Household Affairs were not detailed enough and were too taken for granted.

With the bureaucrats' consistent urgency, if they are so picky, procrastinated, and dawdle for a few months, the matter can easily be left alone.

The household department is full of civil servants, and what they are most afraid of is taking responsibility.

Now, although the spring plowing has come to an end, God is enough to give him face, he didn't make trouble for Qi Yunheng during this period of the year, causing natural disasters that cannot be ignored, but there are still many things to do in the household department It is endless, and there is no time to pursue and hold on to things that encourage births and stimulate population.

This matter is not something that can be seen in one or two years, and there is no personal interest relationship with the officials. It is true that it can be promoted and made a fortune, but if it is not done, it will not affect their normal promotion.

Therefore, at this big court meeting, compared with the officials of the household department who were too busy to beat their heads, the officials of Yushitai, who were under the administration of the official department and always adhered to the principle of finding trouble when nothing happened, were more active.

Since the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the rank of generals on the left side of the main hall has become increasingly sparse.

Most of the military generals have gone to various places to defend their homes and the country and serve the emperor.But their family members stayed behind. Among them, there are many half-children who are full of energy but have nowhere to use. Relying on the hard work and luck of their parents and even grandparents, they enjoy prosperity and wealth. Idle around, gathering in groups to chat about cats and dogs, which added a lot of worries to the people in Beijing.

After hearing several speeches in succession to reprimand these nobles, Ouyang actually had a wonderful feeling of "a new generation replaces the old one".

Back in the day, Ouyang was also one of these dandies, but he didn't bother to compete with the ordinary people, and he specifically went after those who were also dandies.The group headed by Ouyang flocked like birds of a feather, all of them had red lips and white teeth, handsome and unrestrained, and when traveling together, they would even have nice cars and BMWs.In addition, no matter how mischievous they were, they would not tease the common people, so the common people developed a mentality that watching the excitement was not a big deal. Over time, they jokingly referred to their group as a scene in the capital, and some even specially called their friends. They went into the city to watch.

Nowadays, these newly-promoted dandies are not very particular. They compete with each other, not to mention, they also take advantage of their status to bully men and women, and act recklessly, which makes the people in Beijing very resentful and dissatisfied.

After the guards patrolled regularly, this situation has improved to a certain extent.Because the imperial guards are all the soldiers of His Majesty the Emperor, and the current Emperor is quite "nostalgic" and "responsible", the imperial guards feel that they have a backer, and they naturally have the courage to do things. The dandies who make troubles will definitely be arrested and sent to the Yamen without any discussion.

The yamen corresponding to the street patrolling guards is also the patrolling supervisor, which is a subordinate of the Ministry of punishment, and the immediate boss is named Zhu Bian.What this person is least afraid of is offending people, and what he likes to do the most is to offend people. As long as he receives the dandies thrown in by the guards, he can be as strict as he can be, no one can tell.However, this person is also a close minister of His Majesty the Emperor and a meritorious official. If he is determined to punish someone, not to mention that the father and grandfather of the dudes have no choice, even His Majesty the Emperor will back away and give Zhu Bian face.

Those who come and go, the dandies who have suffered a lot will learn how to behave. When the time comes for the guards to patrol the streets, they will not go out if they can't go out. If they accidentally go out, they will quickly find a way to disappear from the street.If you accidentally cause trouble, and the family can't cover it up, you would rather surrender to the Yin of Jingzhao Mansion than enter the yamen of the inspector. Under the Ministry, they have always done things with a strict eye and never overstepped. The officials who act as the governor of Jingzhao can't afford to offend Lao Tzu and grandpa who are dudes. Mi Su, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, is not Zhu Bian's kind of ruthless person.

But so far, the dandies have never committed any major crimes involving human life.It's just that the capital city can't just let them continue to cause disaster just because they haven't caused a big disaster for the time being. The idea of ​​the officials is that it is better to plan ahead than to mend the situation. I implore His Majesty the Emperor to think of ways to rectify and control these dudes.

In Ouyang's view, the best way to deal with these dandies is to get rid of their father and grandfather first, cutting off the foundation of their bragging rights.It's just that now that the new dynasty has just been established, His Majesty the Emperor is not ready to let go of the grind and kill the donkey, which chills the hearts of the people. This best solution can only be thought of and put on the shelf.

As for the lesser method, it was what Ouyang did in the past, to fight poison with poison, and to control dude with dude.

However, this method also needs to find the right candidate first, and it cannot be done after thinking about it.

The method that the officials came up with was relatively old-fashioned, and it was nothing more than sending these dudes into military camps and academies, restraining and polishing them well, trying to make their prodigal sons turn back and wake up.

If you let Ouyang judge, this method actually has advantages and disadvantages.

The upside, of course, is that it does work, at least in the short term.

It’s just that the country is easy to change, but the nature is hard to change. If you really encounter someone who is single-minded in thinking of doing evil, you can cultivate his ability, but it will further intensify and expand his evil deeds, and the level of harm will be deeper and wider.

Besides, people will grow up, even if this group of dandies are imprisoned and their sex is changed, it will not be long before the next batch of dandies will grow up, just like wildfire that burns endlessly, and the spring breeze blows again.

More importantly, the country's human, financial and material resources are limited, and there are even more official positions in the imperial court. You have trained all the children of nobles to become talents, and you have taken up seven or eighty-eight of the limited positions in the imperial court. How should the poor disciples below stand out and climb up?

What a country fears most is class solidification, especially in a country like theirs with a fine tradition of "changing the dynasty". Angry and violent, he replaced his grand ambition of "turning himself up and becoming a nobleman" with the ambition of "turning himself over and becoming a master".

To put it bluntly, their nation is not "suffering from being few but suffering from inequality". What they really suffer from is that others are not few but I am few, and others are equal but I am uneven.

In addition, the solidified upper class did more harm than good to His Majesty's rule.

Once the class is solidified, the wealthy family will develop into an aristocratic family, with the strength and courage to challenge the emperor and the country.

In this way, if His Majesty the Emperor wants to centralize power any more, and then wants to achieve a promise, it is just a dream.

The emperors of the previous dynasty and the previous dynasty took a lot of effort to tamper with the definition of "gentry", overlapped the "gentry" with reading and literacy, and separated them from the aristocratic family. If Qi Yunheng accepted the proposal of the officials , to help the nobles cultivate talents, that is definitely a brain flooded, turning back the wheel of history!

From the emperor's point of view, the correct approach should be to keep these dudes and control their behavior within a tolerable range, but not completely prohibit or even make them disappear, and then use these dudes when the time is right. The dandies act as a fulcrum, turning away their parents, grandparents and the whole family!

As for those people who were harmed by dudes, Ouyang could only sigh softly——

Who made you choose to be the common people?

You know, there is no savior in this world.

When a person entrusts others to define the standard of justice and entrusts the process of judging justice to others to implement, then what he can get in the end must be the justice of others.

Because of this, when the people hand over their power to the emperor, the court, and the officials, their fate is out of their control at that moment, and they can only let the emperor and officials smear their fate whether it is good or bad. Smudge.

To put it bluntly, it's just two words: cause and effect.

Qi Yunheng didn't disappoint Ouyang either, he put down the matter with a clear mind, neither decided on a solution, let alone said to solve the matter.

During this period, some officials raised military affairs, thinking that the country was already at peace, and the soldiers should also be disarmed and returned to the fields, and returned home to be ordinary people.

But this person obviously forgot, or deliberately forgot, Qi Yunheng never discussed military matters at the Great Court Meeting.

In the early court, he might even talk to the six ministers, but at the court meeting, facing a group of civil servants who thought they could give advice to the country after reading a few military books, he couldn't even bring up the interest. I don't even want the civil servants to have the ambition to intervene in military affairs.

As the emperor's old department and confidant, Huo Bingshen, Minister of the Ministry of War, couldn't be more clear about Qi Yunheng's thoughts. He himself is unwilling to hand over the power in his hands to a group of half-bottles who don't know how to pretend to understand. Every time an official talks about military affairs, There is no need for His Majesty the Emperor to speak, he will stand up and scold these idiots who think they are concerned about the country and the people but do not understand the emperor's heart.

Today is no exception.

Near noon, the Grand Court Meeting finally came to an end amidst the noise.

Ouyang still remembered the dissatisfaction in the morning. When Qi Yunheng went down to leave, he didn't follow up like before. He ignored Qi Yunheng's constipated expression, turned around, and left the main entrance of Xuanyuan Palace with other courtiers, ready to Go straight home to catch up on sleep.

Walking halfway, Lu Zhuo Lu's second hand leaned over to Ouyang, and cautiously called out "Nine Thousand Years".

Ouyang tilted his head slightly, and looked back at Lu Zhuo with a pair of white eyes in displeasure.

——It’s not good to call it, but it’s called this broken title!

After being stared at by Ouyang, Lu Zhuo was all smiles. He immediately moved closer and said in a low voice, "When is Nine Thousand Years free, my brothers want to invite you to drink and listen to music to appreciate the beauties!"

——Nine thousand years old again, be careful that I will beat you to the point of paralysis!

Ouyang was depressed, but he also knew that this title was given by Qi Yunheng. If Lu Zhuo didn't call him this, he would have to be called Huang Fu, which is worse than Jiuqian. As for other names, such as Ou San, Brother Yang, and Boss Ou , but now it is unbearable.

After sighing for a while, Ouyang curled his lips and asked back: "Which brothers are there, and who else lives in the capital?"

"He Da, Zhang Carpenter, Yu Bone." Lu Zhuo sighed after reporting his name, "There were so many people in the past, but now there are only a few left."

Ouyang curled his lips and sneered, "That guy He Da still has the face to see me?"

Back then, after Ouyang married Qi Yunheng, although He Da didn't do anything unbearable in action, he still made sarcastic remarks. Afterwards, he even put aside Ouyang, drew a few people together, and put on a posture of breaking up the relationship.

"At that time, he was also young and energetic, and he didn't know what to do." Lu Zhuo didn't forget those embarrassing things back then, and he immediately smiled embarrassingly when he was ridiculed by Ouyang.

"You're in your twenties, you're not young anymore." Ouyang didn't mean to ignore the past at all.

He is the person who holds grudges the most, but he will never forget what others have done to him, let alone forgive him until he dies.

Lu Zhuo could also tell that Ouyang had no interest in reminiscing with them, at least he couldn't bring He Da with him.

Back then, Lu Zhuo was afraid of Ouyang as much as a mouse seeing a cat. Now that there is a gap in status, he didn't even dare to talk back. After being ridiculed by Ouyang, he suddenly didn't know what to do. For a while, he couldn't even speak. come out.

But Ouyang changed his voice, "A while ago, what did you want to post to my house? Could it be what you just said?"

"That's not..." Lu Zhuo was about to explain, but was distracted by the vision at the gate of the palace.
