False Eunuch: With Many Children, I'm as Happy as a Fish in Water

Prince's Mansion.

Lin Chen looked through these memorials from the Ministry of Household Affairs.

In ancient times, reading memorials was a serious crime of beheading.

But in Shangguan Wan'er's Nuan Pavilion, there were piles of memorials written by ministers randomly placed on the desk.

This is why Shangguan Wan'er was discussed by outside ministers and privately called her the female prime minister.

Because any minister's letter must first go through Shangguan Wan'er before being delivered to Li Zhao.

This matter caused many censors to write letters criticizing it.

It is said that there have never been such rules since ancient times.

But Li Zhao still went his own way and completely ignored these censor's words.

Good thing.

Shangguan Wan'er did a very good job in the position of female prime minister, and everything was in order.

This time.

The left and right prime ministers who were originally unwilling to take back their power were dumbfounded.

even.

Li Zhao directly dismissed the prime minister from his official position, dismissed the Zhongshu Province, and established four auxiliary officials.

These four auxiliary officials are all trusted ministers of Prince Li Zhao's Mansion, headed by Shangguan Wan'er.

It can be seen that Li Zhao's level of scheming is extremely high.

If compared to other ancient dynasties, Li Zhao could subtly gather power and become His Majesty the Emperor above tens of millions of people.

However.

The Li Tang Dynasty in this world can only be said to be outrageous.

When Lin Chen learned about the situation in the country, he was surprised as to why Li Tang could continue.

For example, when the first emperor died and the second generation took over, Lin Chen felt that he was taking the script of Qin II.

There are kings with different surnames who have military power outside, and they are looking covetously. This is a replica of the script of the Rebellion of the Seven Kings of the Western Han Dynasty.

There is Zhao Kuangyin who has evil intentions and wants to wear a yellow robe. This is Chai Zhou's script.

There are many foreign barbarians with strong troops and horses on the border of Li and Tang Dynasties, and they may stage a rebellion against China at any time.

There are also reports of Japanese infestations in the coastal areas. This seems to be a precursor to the battle of Renchen in the Ming Dynasty.

As for the Western powers that have already begun their big voyages, they might give Li Tang a small shock like the Opium War.

Being an emperor in this worldview is definitely a hell-level copy.

However, it was Li Zhao who was able to stabilize the imperial power, which even Lin Chen found quite incredible.

"what's on your mind?"

Shangguan Wan'er saw Lin Chen holding a memorial and reading it for a long time, and couldn't help but ask.

Lin Chen came back to his senses after hearing this and shook his head subconsciously.

His eyes fell on the memorial from the Ministry of Household Affairs, and he frowned slightly, "According to what the Ministry of Household Affairs said, the treasury was almost exhausted after supplying Zhao Kuangyin's army."

If this is the case.

It's only been more than half of this year, and military pay will be paid to the border troops at the end of the year.

Where does this money come from?

Is it possible to increase taxes?

Lin Chen thought.

If we really do this, it will inevitably lead to a peasant uprising like that in the late Ming Dynasty, and give this precarious dynasty a heavy blow.

Shangguan Wan'er also fell into silence after hearing what Lin Chen said.

Apparently she also knew the consequences of running out of money in the treasury.

Seeing this, Lin Chen shook his head imperceptibly and began to change the topic.

"The day after tomorrow is when I will lead the army back to the court."

Lin Chen, who was still wearing Lin Chenjia, needed to handle the follow-up affairs of the army.

this means.

Everything about the victims has to fall on Shangguan Wan'er again.

really.

Shangguan Wan'er's eyebrows furrowed together, making Lin Chen laugh and stretch out his hand to smooth it.

"I have an idea."

"oh?"

"Not only can it solve the problems of the victims, but it can also fill the national treasury."

After hearing what Lin Chen said, Shangguan Wan'er's eyes lit up slightly, showing an expression of resignation.

Lin Chen smiled slightly and showed off.

This made Shangguan Wan'er angrily roll her eyes at Lin Chen.

have to say.

The angry look of a beautiful woman can also touch the hearts of others.

Lin Chen couldn't help but move his index finger, and the hand that was originally next to Shangguan Wan'er began to act dishonestly.

only.

Just when he was about to look for some soft forest dust, he was slapped away by Shangguan Wan'er.

It seemed that she was angry.

The words are divided into two parts.

Xue Biao and her sister Xue Baoqin looked at the invitation sent by the Jia family and looked at each other but said nothing.

"How did the Jia family know that their brother came to the capital?" Xue Baoqin's eyes flashed with surprise.

She knew very well that her brother had been reclusive during this period and acted very low-key.

Logically speaking, it should not attract the attention of outsiders.

"Maybe he's some talkative person."

Xue Biao thought of the Xue family members in Jinling, his eyes slightly cold.

Unexpectedly, even though he came to the capital, those guys still refused to let him go.

"Brother, this invitation..." Xue Baochai hesitated.

When Xue Biao heard this, he walked back and forth twice.

"I have no choice but to pay a visit." Xue Biao said with a sigh.

From a certain perspective, the Xue family and the Jia family are closely related and can be regarded as relatives.

But as a branch of the Xue family, Xue Biao actually didn't want to have anything to do with the Jia family.

Because there is a better way here.

But now that the Jia family invited him, he had no choice but to go.

I just hope that the Jia family really just invited me and other relatives to meet and talk about our relationship.

Xue Biao thought with a hint of worry in his heart.

"Second Master Xue is here!"

The young man from the Jia Mansion looked at the carriage slowly stopping in front of the Jia Mansion and quickly went in to report it.

Not long after.

I just saw the younger generation of the Jia family walking out of the house with smiles and coming to greet them.

Among them, the fair-faced and handsome young man leading the group was none other than Jia Lian.

The others were also young children of the Jia family, chatting and laughing constantly.

Xue Biao and Xue Baoqin stepped out of the carriage with the help of their servants, and at the same time looked at the Jia family in front of them.

"This Jia Lian has a good appearance."

Xue Biao looked at Jia Lian and couldn't help but praise him in his heart.

only.

Xue Biao's expression became strange when he thought of a piece of news that spread in the capital today.

This is Jia Lian.

This word still spread from the mouth of a cook who was driven out of Jia's house.

It was said that because of her unusual relationship with Jia Lian, she was caught in the act by Jia Lian's wife Wang Xifeng, which caused quite a scene.

The cook was kicked out because of this.

This brother Jia Lian is not taboo.

Xue Tao cursed, but did not show anything on his face. He bowed his hands and saluted.

Under Jia Lian's greeting, Xue Biao and Xue Baoqin just entered the Jia Guogong's residence.

What you see along the way.

But Xue Tao was shocked.

As a traveling businessman, Xue Biao was shocked when he saw that the maids and servants of the Jia family were all dressed in silk knitting.

Outsiders say that this Jia family is rich and noble, and they are really true!

Only Xue Baoqin looked at this extravagant scene, his clear eyes flickering slightly, as if he was thinking about something.

As for the inner hall of Jia's house.

The clan members, old and young, all gathered here, joking and joking.

It turned out that Jia Baoyu borrowed bamboo and wrote a little poem today, which attracted constant praise from Jia's mother.

Jia Baoyu, who was praised, showed off in front of his sisters, but his eyes fell on Lin Daiyu.

"snort!"

Jia Baoyu, who was thinking about how to come to Lin Daiyu to chat and laugh, couldn't help but trembled when he heard this voice, and his round face turned pale.

It turned out that Jia Zheng was looking at him with a cold face.
