I am also waiting for the hero to usurp the throne today [Transmigration Book]

When the decree reached the palaces and courtyards, all the concubines thought that there was something wrong with their ears.

"Growing...peanuts and corn in the palace?" A concubine looked at the eunuch who came to pass the decree in disbelief, and blurted out rebelliously for the first time, "Is Your Majesty crazy?"

Immediately realizing what he said, he covered his mouth and looked at the eunuch delivering the order in front of him in horror.

This is not the first time that the eunuch passing the decree has seen the concubine's reaction today, and he understands it very well - the thought that flashed through his head when he first received the imperial decree was "Is there something wrong with your Majesty?"

"Your Majesty is just joking. Your Majesty's decree naturally has his reasons." The eunuch passing the decree coughed, and waved his hand for the palace servants to bring up the things.

The concubine looked at the sacks of heavy things that were brought in, and the soil in the sacks rustled down and landed on the clean and clean green phoenix porcelain and white jade brick floor, her face was numb: "This is..."

"This is a special reward from His Majesty who is sympathetic to all the ladies." The smile on the eunuch's face remained unchanged, "Some seeds of peanuts and corn, as well as soil suitable for sowing the first crop."

Concubine: "..."

The seeds are fine, but why is there soil?

"Your Majesty has said that we will raise and lower positions according to the output of the grain grown by the ladies." The eunuch ordered the eunuch to bow and leave, "Your Majesty cherishes it, and the servants will retire first."

Generally, the concubine will give some silver jewelry to the eunuch who passed the decree to show that the empress remembers it well.Only this time, the concubine was completely dazed and shocked, forgetting everything.

The eunuch who passed the decree has met several times, and he is not surprised, but regretfully thinks that he may not get much benefit from passing the decree this time...

——But that's good too, Mr. Huo is very strict with the internal affairs of the palace now, it's better to have no money than lifeless flowers.

After the decree was handed down, almost all the concubines suspected that there was something wrong with their ears, and there were a few concubines who were once favored like the noble concubines who couldn't stand the contrast and clamored to see His Majesty.

Li Jinyu had already ordered them not to be seen, so naturally they were all stopped by the guards.

After two days of careful observation, I found that His Majesty was really serious. The concubines felt that the world had changed, and they even wondered what their purpose in coming to the palace was.

……

In the bedroom, Li Jinyu listened to the eunuch's report and nodded: "I understand."

Huo Caiyu poured out the second course of tea in the teapot, his eyes fluctuated for a moment, and finally he couldn't help asking: "Why did your majesty confront the general?"

At this time, it was proposed to abolish the servants and drive all the concubines to farm.Such a shocking move, no wonder General Meng objected.

It should be the time to praise the heroes, but they broke up because of Li Jinyu's insistence.

General Meng left angrily, Huo Caiyu was slightly worried for His Majesty.

Although the general worried about His Majesty's harem being a bit meddling, the general was still His Majesty's third-generation uncle, and since he was an elder, it was not considered presumptuous.

Li Jinyu was looking forward to a life where he could directly eat fresh food in the future, so he blurted out inadvertently: "Isn't it just for you?"

Huo Caiyu held his breath for a while, almost doubting his ears: "For the minister?"

——Your Majesty refused to sleep with the concubine because of him?

——Is that what he thought?

Li Jinyu realized later that he had accidentally spoken the truth, coughed quickly, and tried to get it back: "What I mean is that I did this in order to concentrate on studying with Huo Aiqing."

Seeing that Huo Caiyu didn't seem to believe it, Li Jinyu curled his lips again, "Besides, the general just wants me to have an heir earlier."

Throughout the dynasties, the emperors have pursued luxuriant branches and leaves, and there are few who do not want an heir like Li Jinyu.

Huo Caiyu moved his lips, with a complicated expression, and finally swallowed what he wanted to say, and handed Li Jinyu the slightly cooled tea.

He suddenly didn't dare to continue discussing this topic with His Majesty, fearing that His Majesty would give him a more ruthless answer.

Huo Caiyu turned to another topic: "I saw an acquaintance in the general's triumphant team."

acquaintance?

Li Jinyu was a little surprised.

Huo Caiyu mentioned it to himself, probably someone he knew.

If he knows and has a relationship with the army... what Li Jinyu knows is the strongest "spear" and "shield" of Huo Caiyu's army in the original book.

Huo's sister is still living at home, could it be Chi Zhongming?

Li Jinyu tentatively asked, "Brother Chi?"

Huo Caiyu was taken aback: "Your Majesty already knows?"

Li Jinyu laughed dryly: "I just guessed."

There were only a few people he knew.

Huo Caiyu didn't believe it at all, and only said that His Majesty had his own secret source of information.

He brewed another cup of tea for His Majesty: "Since Chi Zhongming appeared in the ranks of the General, perhaps it was General Meng who instructed him to go to Qingshui County to investigate the new tax law."

Li Jinyu picked up the teacup, sniffed it, and found that it tasted different from before. He was a little puzzled: "It smells so good. Isn't the general trying to suppress the rebellion?"

The news goes so fast?

"With the speed of the army returning to the camp, when the whip method is proposed, the dust of the Southwest War should have settled and they are returning." Huo Caiyu put down the teapot, "Be careful of burning. The general can also free his hands to pay attention to the affairs of the court and China."

Li Jinyu put down the teacup to let it cool for a while, picked up the melon seeds again, and realized Huo Caiyu's unfinished meaning: "You mean that the general is also on our side?"

"That's not necessarily the case. The general may just want to overthrow the prime minister." Huo Caiyu didn't know why his majesty had been so estranged from the general before, so he tried to suggest, "Your majesty can win the support of the general."

Li Jinyu didn't know why the original body was not used by the loyal and patriotic general, but instead had a heated fight with Prime Minister Ye.However, the original body acted too obsessively after ascension to the throne. It was completely aimed at ruining the foundation of the ancestors. It can only be blamed on the poor writing of the author...

Now that Li Jinyu wanted to get back his power, of course he didn't intend to be so reckless, he said without hesitation: "Listen to you, I will leave it to you."

Of course Huo Caiyu can't be wrong!

Huo Caiyu once again felt His Majesty's wholehearted trust. Even though he knew intellectually that His Majesty didn't mean that to him, he couldn't help feeling warm in his heart, and a smile appeared on his lips: "Yes."

When Chi Zhongming was mentioned, he remembered his experience with Chi Zhongming in Qingshui County.

Li Jinyu was suddenly curious: "Didn't Brother Chi say that he had a sweetheart who instructed him to go to Qingshui County?"

Huo Caiyu also recalled: "It is true."

"If Chi Zhongming belongs to the Great General...won't he have a crush on General Meng?" Li Jinyu had a sudden thought, "You're so inferior!"

Huo Caiyu didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "General Meng is over [-] years old, he already has a family and a career, so I know Brother Chi well, so he shouldn't be a general."

Seeing how complacent Chi Zhongming was when he was showing off his sweetheart in Qingshui County, Huo Caiyu couldn't believe that Chi Zhongming liked General Meng—otherwise he should worry about gain and loss just like he admired His Majesty.

Huo Caiyu glanced at Li Jinyu, feeling sad.

Li Jinyu noticed that Huo Caiyu's expression changed.He always felt that Huo Caiyu's mood had become weird recently, always laughing and sighing inexplicably.

——Do you have a sweetheart?

When Chi Zhongming was mentioned, Li Jinyu remembered that when he was in Qingshui County, Chi Zhongming said that Huo Caiyu had a crush.

Although Huo Caiyu directly rejected it at the time, from Li Jinyu's recent observations, Huo Caiyu is indeed a little weird, like those young boys who have a crush on adolescents in TV dramas.

It's just about his sweetheart, can he tell Chi Zhongming but not him?

If Huo Caiyu said it, he could still take the opportunity to give him a marriage, and get addicted to it...

Haven't you caught someone yet?

That's not right, Huo Caiyu looks good, has a bright future, and is the darling of heaven, can anyone not be tempted?

Li Jinyu has full confidence in Huo Caiyu's charm.

He tried his best to analyze Huo Caiyu's situation.

Unless it is a restricted identity that cannot love each other... A hundred sadomasochistic romance dramas that he has watched flashed through Li Jinyu's mind.

Huo Caiyu lived in the palace before, and his every move was within the scope of Li Jinyu's knowledge, and he didn't have the opportunity to contact other women, at most they were the maids of the palace.

But if it's a court lady, as Huo Caiyu, she shouldn't be so entangled...

Li Jinyu couldn't hold back his gossip, and asked tentatively, "Huo Aiqing, what's bothering you recently?"

Huo Caiyu was a little confused, so he raised his head from the document: "I don't have any worries."

"Really?" Li Jinyu carefully discerned Huo Caiyu's expression, and decided to attack with a heavy hammer, "I see that you have a sweetheart?"

As soon as these words came out, Huo Caiyu's hand suddenly shook violently!

The document that was originally held in Huo Caiyu's hand was shaken to the ground. Huo Caiyu bent down to pick it up, and when he raised his head again, the expression on his face was forcibly suppressed: "Your Majesty is joking."

Li Jinyu had been staring at Huo Caiyu's face just now, and of course he would not miss the shock, panic and shyness on Huo Caiyu's face after he asked that sentence, and he was even more determined in his heart, and said generously: "I don't know how to do anything, but you just say it's okay .”

Huo Caiyu looked at him with a very strange look. After a long time, he sorted out the paperwork, pursed his lips and said, "Your Majesty is too worried."

Li Jinyu felt a little upset-they were in a relationship of suffering together, why did they hide this gossip from him!

"Is it someone from the palace?"

Huo Caiyu's expression changed again, he stared at Li Jinyu in a daze, and opened his mouth: "Your Majesty..."

Seeing his expression, Li Jinyu knew he had guessed right.

Is it really a palace lady?

--what?

A thought suddenly flashed in Li Jinyu's mind.

— Could it be some concubine in the palace?

If it is a concubine in the palace, it is completely understandable that Huo Caiyu refuses to tell him; it is also reasonable for the concubine not to dare to share her heart with Huo Caiyu.

No wonder there is no mention of Huo Caiyu's relationship in the original book!

After all, this is an act of cuckolding the emperor, who dares to say it?

Can the nine clans be worthy of the emperor's green-glowing flat-sky gilt crown?

Li Jinyu was not the original body, so of course he would not have any feelings for the original body's harem.

On the contrary, he became more and more excited inside.

Since Qingshui County and his party came back, no matter how dull he was, he could feel that the relationship between Huo Caiyu and him had become much closer.

After all, they were assassinated together, wandered in the wilderness together, and fell asleep together.

This made Li Jinyu a little long-term worried.

Wouldn't the hate value I had worked so hard to get destroyed just like that?

What if Huo Caiyu doesn't kill him after usurping power in the future, but just feeds him well?

Do you want him to commit suicide?

If he committed suicide, would Tiandao's father admit it?

Li Jinyu intends to do something else, but seeing Huo Caiyu so seriously planning to bring down the prime minister, sometimes he can't sleep until late at night, and he is always soft-hearted and can't bear to hold Huo Caiyu back.

After all, we can discuss whether we can usurp power after we regain power from the prime minister.

When he was sleepy, he gave him a pillow. Li Jinyu never expected that Huo Caiyu fell in love with the concubine in the palace!

The ancients have said that the head of hatred is killing the father and taking the wife.

Huo Caiyu likes the concubine in the palace, and wants to marry her to start, so why not abolish himself as the emperor? !

The more Li Jinyu thought about it, the more excited he became. It seemed that Huo Caiyu was protecting the tearful concubine, holding a long sword in his hand, with a guilty but still firm look on his face.

He couldn't help but want to applaud Huo Caiyu: Well done!

The biggest question now is...Which concubine does Huo Caiyu fancy?

Isn't that the future queen?

He has to make a good confession!

Li Jinyu tried to get out of Huo Caiyu's mouth, and asked tactfully: "Huo Aiqing, love is a human nature, if you have any thoughts, just tell me."

Looking at His Majesty's serious expression, Huo Caiyu suddenly felt a little thirsty in his throat.

Although he repeatedly told himself in his heart that "Your Majesty has no extra thoughts on him", what His Majesty said now still gave him great deception.

——Your Majesty is implying something by saying this?

——Do you want to express your feelings?

Huo Caiyu's heart beat faster, and he felt the blood in his whole body screaming, pushing him forward.

He took a step forward, he could almost smell the faint scent of ambergris from His Majesty's body, and couldn't help lowering his voice: "Your Majesty, the person I like..."

Li Jinyu opened his eyes wide, trying not to look so happy: "Hmm!"

Hurry up, hurry up, what are you dawdling in!

At this moment, Chang Kang's voice suddenly came from outside: "Your Majesty, General Meng is asking to see you."

Li Jinyu was taken aback for a moment, and when he turned his head again, Huo Caiyu had already retreated to his original position, with a bit of guilt and annoyance remaining on his face.

He couldn't help urging: "What about the back?"

Huo Caiyu didn't answer, just looked outside the hall: "Your Majesty, the general is asking to see you."

Since they want to unite with the generals, how can they leave the generals outside?

Earlier, because Li Jinyu asked the concubines to plant the land for no reason, he had angered the general once, and he still had to win over the general.

Li Jinyu also knew the priorities, but Huo Caiyu's half-spoken words whetted his appetite, which really made him uncomfortable.

Holding his breath, he took a sip of the sweet-smelling tea to calm himself down, and then said to the outside: "Xuan!"

General Meng came here this time to ask for credit for the frontline soldiers.

After victory and returning to the court, there will be rewards for meritorious service.

In the past, Emperor Jingchang never cared about these matters and left them all to Prime Minister Ye.General Meng came to ask for instructions as usual this time, and he didn't expect much, but this time it was a bit beyond his expectation.

His Majesty didn't just throw the folder aside like in the past, but read it carefully, and whispered to the young and handsome courtier beside him.

Not long after, Li Jinyu put down his notebook and coughed: "General, is your reward too heavy?"

General Meng's note was originally used to bargain with the prime minister - Prime Minister Ye is not a fool, he knows the importance of the army, and he is also afraid of the strength of the general's faction, so he will not block the army's rewards.

But it is something he can do to beat General Kameng on pensions and salaries.

After a few times, General Meng simply reported more rewards and pensions, leaving room for bargaining with Prime Minister Ye.

General Meng looked at Li Jinyu in surprise.

He didn't expect His Majesty to read this paper seriously, and he didn't expect His Majesty to see that this paper was watery.

It seems that the other generals who stayed in Beijing said that "Your Majesty seems to have the intention of making great efforts to govern" was not fooled by him.

General Meng was also straightforward: "This paper was originally written for the prime minister. If your majesty wants to approve it, you can only approve half of it."

Li Jinyu choked slightly.

Just now Huo Caiyu explained in his ear the interests of General Meng and Prime Minister Ye, but he didn't explain that General Meng is such a direct person.

Because of Huo Caiyu's background, Li Jinyu naturally had sympathy for the army, and readily approved: "I agree, and I would like to ask the general to send my regards to the soldiers."

General Meng looked at Li Jinyu's red tick with his imperial brush happily, and couldn't hide the surprise on his face. He looked Li Jinyu up and down, and asked hesitantly, "Is your majesty feeling unwell?"

Li Jinyu: "...I am fine, the general is too worried."

In the past, Prime Minister Ye was able to get General Meng's money and rations, just "coercing the emperor to order the princes", relying on His Majesty to do nothing but do anything wrong; now that Li Jinyu has approved the paper, General Meng has enough confidence to ask for money from the Ministry of Households.

After receiving the money, General Meng was in a much better mood. Later, Huo Caiyu tactfully raised the topic of bringing down the prime minister. General Meng did not refuse, but pondered for a moment: "The prime minister is now deeply rooted and has many connections with the royal family. Does Your Majesty have any consideration?"

The Meng family is the natal family of the Empress Dowager, and they can be regarded as authentic royal relatives. Meng Chilang naturally knows the relationship between the royal family and the prime minister's faction.

Naturally, he didn't have any good feelings towards Prime Minister Ye, who made the imperial court into a mess - His Majesty could be regarded as his nephew after all, so what was Ye Guixiang? !

"The prime minister's ability to win over the family is nothing more than using the official position in the court as a bargaining chip." Huo Caiyu said plainly, "Cut off this road, and the prime minister's faction is like water without roots."

Being able to sit on the position of general, Meng Chilang is naturally not a fool, so he guessed in an instant: "Imperial examination?"

"Nowadays, the imperial examinations and tribute exams are mixed in the court, and Prime Minister Meng Zuan has many loopholes. His Majesty plans to modify the method of imperial examinations and tribute exams, so that the entire imperial examination process will be closed, and those who choose the best will be directly reported to the imperial court. His Majesty will take the imperial examination in person and will no longer go through the review of local officials."

In the past, Emperor Jingchang didn't care about the palace examination at all.

Meng Chilang unexpectedly many times today, fixed his eyes on Huo Caiyu: "What about the tribute?"

"The tribute is still retained, but it is changed from the recommendation of the local officials to the joint recommendation of officials, and there must be a probation period."

Meng Chilang chewed the word with some doubts: "Trial period?"

"Yes!" Huo Caiyu's eyes suddenly brightened a lot.

The concept of the word "trial period" was proposed by Li Jinyu, which won Huo Caiyu's heart.

The meaning of this word is not difficult to understand, Meng Chilang quickly figured out what Huo Caiyu meant, and nodded appreciatively: "That's a good idea."

Immediately, his expression became serious, "It's just that Mr. Huo still hasn't explained how to solve the obstruction of the royal family."

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the elimination of imperial examinations and tribute examinations is an act of "selling official positions" against the prime minister's faction. Will the royal family who have tasted the sweetness agree?

"If the royal family can't take care of themselves, how can it be called resistance?" Huo Caiyu took out another document and put it in front of General Meng, "Let's see, General."

This is a decree for the current royal family.

To put it simply, the legitimate son inherits the title, and the concubine becomes an official.

Throughout the ages, the dispute between the concubine and the concubine has always been an enduring conflict among the major families.In the past, Di Dynasty didn't pay much attention to the concubines. If the concubine was too angry, the head of the family could report to the court to exchange the title of concubine to the concubine.

This method was originally intended to encourage the children of the big family to make progress and not to be greedy for pleasure, but now it has changed.

If you can please the head of the family and open up relationships, you will have the opportunity to win the title.

Prime Minister Ye's "official selling" industry is so prosperous, it cannot do without the support of these eager children of the aristocratic family.

This law directly and strictly blocked the way for the concubine to compete for family property. If the concubine wanted to get ahead, he could only take the scientific examination honestly; the concubine could inherit the title of the family smoothly, but if he wanted to become an official, he could only take the tribute exam—— That is, officials jointly recommend and go through the probation period.

In this way, the sons of the legitimate sons can keep their wealth, and the sons of the poor have a way to go.

Meng Chilang stared at the script, slightly feeling that there was something wrong in it, but it seemed to have the best of both worlds, and he really couldn't think of a reason.

Although he is a descendant of the Meng family, he started his career in the army, not a scheming bureaucrat, and only relied on the support of the army and the Meng family to reach his current high position.

In the end, General Meng still nodded: "If this method is implemented, the resistance of the major families may be reduced a lot."

Li Jinyu was listening to the conversation between the two of them. In order to maintain his image, he tried his best to suppress the desire to eat melon seeds. When he heard General Meng's words, his eyes lit up: "The general agrees?"

When they analyzed General Meng's character before, Li Jinyu recalled the content of the original work and gave a key feature: Although General Meng came from a family, he was different from the general disciples of the family, and would put the interests of the court before the family.

Most aristocratic families have high positions, and their sense of belonging to the family is greater than that of the imperial court; General Meng has guarded the border for several years, and there is no difference between the aristocratic family and the imperial court in the cold frontier, only war, death, and sacrifice.

Huo Caiyu has investigated all the aristocratic families that have contacts with the prime minister these days, and formulated this plan that is detrimental to the interests of the aristocratic families but is very convenient for the court to implement. I believe the general will be moved.

"I still need to think about it." General Meng didn't agree, but turned his head to look at Li Jinyu, his eyes were slightly stern, "I'm even more curious. Your Majesty has been lazy in governing for many years, why is he suddenly diligent now?"

Li Jinyu couldn't stand the patriarchal gaze of General Meng, so he couldn't help but flinch.

On the contrary, he somewhat understood why the original body was not close to the general, even though the general was more loyal than the prime minister.

Compared to Prime Minister Ye, who blows rainbow farts as soon as they meet, this General Meng, who is dedicated to serving the country but goes straight, is really not likable enough.

But at this time, I can't hold Huo Caiyu back!He will do his best to support Huo Caiyu!

Li Jinyu tried his best to cheer himself up, straightened his waist, and put forward the reason he had thought of a long time ago: "I went to Qingshui County a while ago and realized the suffering of the people. I feel deeply guilty, and I have won a talent like Huo Aiqing. So I want to make every effort to govern and reorganize the government."

He specifically mentioned Huo Caiyu, just to let General Meng pay attention to Huo Caiyu, the future emperor star.

General Meng completely ignored Li Jinyu's painstaking efforts and did not look at Huo Caiyu. He only looked at Li Jinyu up and down for a moment before reluctantly nodding his head: "Your Majesty has such a heart, it is not useless."

Li Jinyu: "..."

If you look at the art of speaking, if it were Prime Minister Ye, he would definitely come up with a set of "It's really a blessing for Di Chao that your Majesty is concerned about the country and the people".

General Meng was still a hardcore royalist after all, although he didn't agree on the spot, he was actually a little moved.

Huo Caiyu was very happy, but Li Jinyu was a little unhappy.

Obviously, it was time to get rid of General Meng's dislike, but in the end it turned into a situation of joining forces with General Meng.

This is completely different from the smoothness of brushing Huo Caiyu's hatred value!
