The Reborn Wife is Farming

Li Jinghua sighed: "The situation is different, I'm afraid even the emperor and prince didn't expect this."

It was a troubled time when the royal family of the Zhou Dynasty was overthrown and the bandits were suppressed. At that time, there was no need to reason, and the courtiers never thought of saying something about etiquette and morality to the emperor and the prince. They just needed the army to crush them.

And when the family was cleaned up, the rebellion had just been quelled and the country was not stable. At that time, Qi Haoran had too much blood on his hands, and the emperor was born as a general, full of evil spirits. The two brothers only needed to stand forward and show their attitude Come on, even if they object in their hearts, they dare not express it with their mouths.

Li Jinghua said in a low voice: "The thing that most affects their interests is the abolition of the unlimited land tax exemption for juren and officials. At that time, some people opposed it, but the country was not completely stable at that time. They were afraid of losing their lives in another war. The emperor's iron and blood methods are deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, so that this policy can be carried out to the end, but now more than ten years have passed, the emperor is kind, and all the officials have long forgotten the cruelty of the emperor and the prince, and their hearts have grown up, so it is bold! "

Although the current regulatory reform has increased the supervision of officials and loosened the control of the people, in fact, when it comes to harming interests, it is still the matter of abolishing the unlimited tax exemption of famous people. It is estimated that the ministers also thought of this. Fierce opposition.

After all, their interests have been stripped away bit by bit by the emperor. If they agree to the new official system of supervising hundreds of officials now, what right will they have in front of the emperor in the future?

The onlookers can see clearly, because Li Jinghua has not been in this game, he can see it more clearly than Qi Xiuyuan and others.

It was Mu Yangling who put forward the policy of abolishing the land tax on meritorious service above Juren, and Qi Haoran presided over it. They took all the new and old grudges into account.

Wen Cui couldn't help clicking her tongue, and said in a low voice: "But a few days ago, the queen concubine also mentioned the reform of the official system, wasn't there nothing wrong at that time?"

"That's because Ah Ling was mentioned, no matter what, she is still a woman, and the officials don't think the emperor will adopt her opinion, and Zuo Xiang and several ministers proposed to adopt her administrative reform opinion, they will also subconsciously To exclude Ah Ling, I think this is the idea of ​​Zuo Xiang and several ministers. They are all officials. When they put forward their opinions, they can oppose or support them. They can make a decision slowly by themselves, but it is different if the prince participates in it. " Li Jinghua smiled and said: "The emperor has never stopped what the prince wants to do, so that in the past ten years, everything he wanted to do has been done."

"From suppressing the bandits to subduing the family, to taxation reform, to opening the forbidden sea, and recovering the lost land, he has done everything he wanted to do. The courtiers were afraid when they heard that Prince Rong was going to participate in it, so they gathered together Attack it."

"Doesn't that mean that the princess is implicated by the prince, not that the prince is implicated by the concubine?"

Li Jinghua said with a smile: "Whether the two of them are involved or not? If they really want to divide, it is also a burden to each other. The prince got involved because of Ah Ling's anger, and Ah Ling is for Xiaobao and Xiaoxiong..."

Li Jinghua shook her head and laughed when she said this, "Speaking of which, Xiaobao and Xiaoxiong have implicated them, and I, the queen mother, have to pay some responsibility."

"Ma'am!"

Li Jinghua shook his hand and said: "The courtiers look down on women, so they don't take the same words from Ah Ling's mouth to heart, but from the prince, they are like a big enemy. Wen Cui, maybe Ah Ling said That's right, we have to let the world hear our woman's voice, and let those men stop listening to us like the wind when they hear us."

Wen Cui's face was full of confusion. Aren't they talking about the prince and concubine's avoidance of disaster? How did it involve the woman's matter?

The corner of Li Jinghua's mouth turned up slightly, "How about this as my condition for letting her leave Beijing?"

Mu Yangling has always wanted to improve the status of women. Li Jinghua does not object to this, but she does not strongly support it. She is more of a spectator and indifferent, because she is the mother of a country. There are some things that Mu Yangling can do, but she cannot.

But now she wanted to do it.

Li Jinghua looked at the passers-by in the street, and felt a little panicked. It was only a few months since she left the palace last time, but she hadn't seen such an ordinary street scene for more than ten years.

Li Jinghua said to herself in her heart: To persuade people, you need some bargaining chips, and this is her bargaining chip.

Mu Yangling looked at Li Jinghua in astonishment, and asked, "What did you say?"

Li Jinghua smiled and said: "Didn't you always want me to make it clear that I will strongly support women's studies? Now I promise you, I also promise to increase the number of female officials in the palace and reduce the number of years for them to enter the palace. They don't have to be twenty-five years old." , those who have reached the age of twenty-three can apply to leave the palace, and I will also try my best to promote women's schools, so that more women can learn to read and learn a skill."

Mu Yangling looked at her suspiciously, "You left the palace in a hurry just to tell me this?"

Then it's fine to say no when she enters the palace tomorrow, and why not leave the palace on purpose?

Li Jinghua smiled and said, "Of course not, but I have something to ask of you."

Mu Yangling breathed a sigh of relief, and said happily: "You can tell me what to do, as long as I can do it, I will try my best to do it."

"You can definitely do it," Li Jinghua said, "Convince the prince to leave Beijing tomorrow."

Li Jinghua shared the concerns of the emperor and her, and finally sighed: "None of us thought that the courtiers would react so strongly and completely disregard the dignity of the monarch and his ministers. Both the emperor and I feel that it is easy to hide the open gun and difficult to guard against the hidden arrow, so you It is better to leave."

Mu Yangling's face gradually sank, and he lifted his chin and said, "We are walking upright and sitting upright. Are we afraid that they will fail?"

"Why aren't you afraid?" Li Jinghua said: "If they are shameless, who can compare to them? Besides, the prince will always go out to socialize. As long as he drinks, a woman from a good family will jump on him. Saying that he has insulted her innocence, will the prince accept her or not?"

"If the prince dares to say a word no, she will be killed immediately, and the prince will not be able to speak clearly at that time, no." Li Jinghua shook his head and said: "If I were the other party, he would not let the prince take a concubine at all. Instead, he rushed out and accused the prince of rape, and then committed suicide in public. No matter whether the prince touched her or not, in the eyes of the world, the prince will be such a person, even if we found evidence to prove that it was a slander, The other party can also say that we are officials and officials protecting each other."

Seeing Mu Yangling's serious face, Li Jinghua took her hand and said: "This is the simplest strategy, and it can only ruin the prince's reputation. There are many more vicious and disgusting things than this. You can pick up a lot at your fingertips. This is for the prince, but it can be other conspiracies for you and the child, how much effort can you and the prince have to prevent these conspiracies?"

"What's more, it's impossible to guard against."

Mu Yangling lowered his eyes and said: "My lord and I were going to hide, but it's too urgent to leave tomorrow, and the lord must not want to..."

"Is face more important than face?" Li Jinghua looked at her seriously and said, "Ah Ling, you have to think about the prince."

At this time, Fan Zijin poked Qi Haoran's head angrily and asked: "Is it important to face or Ah Ling and the children? You don't think about yourself, but also about Ah Ling and the children. You are rough-skinned." Hou is not afraid, what should they do?"
