Chapter 1494 The Spring Breeze Is Coming
The weather in Guanzhong is particularly good this year. It snowed heavily last year, but the temperature has been much higher since the beginning of spring.The green grass on the ground and the young leaves on the trees appeared earlier than usual.

Officials from all over the country reported this as auspiciousness, and some officials even bathed and fasted for three days, cut a branch with young leaves, and sent it to Chang'an to announce the good news.

The emperor was noncommittal and did not respond.

Jinyiwei's yamen still had a gloomy atmosphere, and people who came in occasionally said that the spring breeze was whirling outside the gate of Jinyiwei, but they just refused to come in.

"Your Majesty said that if he shows joy, the officials below will rack their brains to please him... But His Majesty has just ascended the throne, so it's not appropriate to reprimand him. In this way, it's noncommittal. Those officials feel that it's not good, so naturally It stopped."

In the duty room, He Lianyan was looking at the news from all over the place, and Jielong was telling everyone about the emperor's policy below, "Your Majesty said, this is also a first-class rule of inaction. Jin Yiwei's eyeliner in various places must keep an eye on the officials. If someone If you dare to make any more offerings, you are either stupid or bad. Write it down and report it to Chang'an."

Everyone agreed.

Then he looked at Helianyan.

Concubine Li was naturally in the palace at night, but during the day she would go to Jinyiwei to sit in the palace from time to time.The gentlemen of Daoism in the foreign dynasty were very upset, so they went to the shuffle, saying that it was inappropriate for the emperor's concubines to work in the imperial city.

What's wrong?
The emperor dismissed this, and said: "I know they didn't think about me, but they just think that women should be locked in the house by nature, with the door out and the door in the door. In this way, they became canaries, just for the sake of me." Men live. Every frown, smile, anger and joy are all for men.

I just want to ask, how unconfident this man is, thinking that the only way to make a woman put her heart on him is by using such methods. "

As soon as this remark came out, it immediately triggered a frenzy of public opinion.

"Several old gentlemen asked to see His Majesty yesterday, but His Majesty didn't respond, so they talked loudly outside the palace about women showing their faces." Jie Long smiled at He Lianyan: "The commander doesn't know what they say men are yang and women are yin .Yang dominates the outside, and yin dominates the inside. This is the way of heaven..."

Everyone looked at him anxiously, "What happened next?"

Jie Long shook his head, "I didn't know later either."

He Lianyan raised her head, "Later... Your Majesty said yesterday that thousands of years ago, women were the most respected in this world. Men are only women's vassals. I don't see how the heavens are. It can be seen that it is purely fabricated. This is just a group of incompetent people. It's a trick that most men play to find self-esteem in women."

Everyone was a little uncomfortable, and felt that these words seemed to speak of their own pain points everywhere.

"The one under the man's robe is small." This is the emperor's evaluation of this matter.

He Lianyan took it for granted, "For the matter of servants, we must pay close attention to the reactions of various places in the pass. Especially those big clans."

Jielong asked; "Is it true that the commander is His Majesty really planning to do something?"

"Don't ask what you shouldn't ask!" He Lianyan got up, "We have to keep an eye on the old place of Beiliao. Remember, once His Majesty starts, the Jinyiwei will be the vanguard. If anyone makes a mistake, my Jinyiwei's rules are in place, and they will be severely punished! "

"Yes!"

He Lianyan returned to the palace immediately.

The emperor and his ministers were discussing matters, so He Lianyan went to the queen.

After entering the palace, the queen's affairs did not decrease but increased, and the emperor also persuaded her, saying that what should be put aside, let others take care of what should be taken care of by others.But the queen said that the rules should be established first, and things should be straightened out.

The emperor doesn't have many women, so the so-called thing is mostly how to manage those maids.The emperor laughed at himself, saying that with so many people in the palace, he not only had to worry about feeding them, but also had to worry about how to manage them well.

The emperor's family has a small population, and there are no more than a hundred attendants who are really useful.The others are... In the words of the emperor, they all eat and drink in the palace.

"Actually, when Your Majesty told me that there were too many people in the palace, I didn't take it seriously. I always felt that it was normal for there to be too many people in the palace. But after I took over these personnel affairs, I realized that most of them had nothing to do with my family. After using so much People, not to serve my family, but to put on airs."

The queen was talking with a group of female officials and eunuchs. He Lianyan listened outside the hall and knew that the queen was using excuses to beat these people.

"Your Majesty hates putting on ostentatious things the most, and I don't even like tricks like returning home. I am the same." Seeing Helianyan, the queen pointed to her own hands, and continued: "Since we don't make those ostentatious things, we will return to the palace in the future." The number of people still needs to be reduced. In recent years, only going out but not coming in. Among the various punishments, they have been expelled from the palace..."

Everyone left immediately.

The queen covered her forehead and said to He Lianyan: "Although I have prepared before entering the palace, facing this stall every day is still a headache."

"I just saw those people feeling a little bit annoyed." He Lianyan covered her mouth and snickered, "In the past, they were indispensable people in the palace, but now in the eyes of His Majesty and you, they have become superfluous. Think of ways to invite them out, so that the whole family can have peace."

"That's what your majesty means." The queen took a sip of the tea handed by Hua Hong, and said, "Your majesty doesn't like luxury, doesn't like those red tapes, and hates ostentation. I, the queen, have to go along with his husband, which is also a Let's wait for something to happen!"

The two talked about the gossip in the palace, and He Lianyan finally explained the purpose of coming, "A few people from the Zhou family bought a few brothels in Pingkangfang. It seems that I, Jin Yiwei, are incompetent, and I can't help..."

Zhou Ning was taken aback, then smiled and said, "I'll show you when I look back."

He Lianyan said something outside again, and then she left.

After she left, Zhou Ning called Mrs. Guan, "Go ask your family about buying a brothel in Pingkangfang, and inquire quietly."

"Yes!"

Aunt Guan went, came back in the afternoon, and reported: "Some boys in the family picked up several brothels in Pingkang Fang, and said that there is also a place to play."

"Can there be strong buying and strong selling?" Zhou Ning asked.

Aunt Guan said, "They revealed their identities."

"I just said, those people who do business, unless their families are poor, who would sell brothels and restaurants? This is pulling a tiger's skin!"

"Then...do you want to warn me?"

"Warning? It's too light." Zhou Ning said: "Go to your home and tell them that although Ah Weng and Aye are not in Chang'an, I, a married woman, can't control the Zhou family. Woe to madness. If anyone uses Zhou's name to do some illegal activities, he should deal with it himself, otherwise, the heavy rain will pour down."

"That's my family after all!" Aunt Guan felt that the queen was too harsh, "Not to mention other things, those emperors ascended the throne, and the people around them ascended to heaven with chickens and dogs. Even a groom can be an official. Our family is a family member after all. , and you are the queen..."

"There is no need to say such things in the future!" Zhou Ning said coldly: "Others are others, what is the result of other people's domination of Tang Dynasty? Your Majesty is different from those people..."

I am naturally different from those coquettish sluts... Outside the palace, the emperor waved his hand, signaling not to tell the queen that he was coming.

Then, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly, and he left quietly.

"Tell Saburo that if he can't control the Zhou family, then I will send someone to take over!"

The queen's calm words caused an earthquake in the Zhou family.

Zhou Xin hastily entered the palace to plead guilty, but the queen did not see him, but someone sent a message: "The more proud you are, the more you should be cautious, as if walking on thin ice. Your Majesty said a word, and I will give it to Zhou now. The opposite is true." !"

Although Zhou Xin said that he was not very knowledgeable, he could easily pass the imperial examination. Hearing this, he hurried back to find a few uncles to discuss.

"Anyone who goes against the Tao moves, the mother's will, and things will go against the extreme. The Zhou family was originally a powerful family, and now they have a queen." Zhou Zun's younger brother Zhou Hu said: "Yingchuan Yang's was like this at the beginning, and he was very proud. Ten years. It's my turn, Mrs. Zhou, why did you turn your elbows out?"

Zhou Xin smiled wryly: "Second Uncle, Your Majesty has said that the Yang family is the Yang family, and besides, how can the false emperor be compared with today's?"

"Uh!" Zhou Hu shook his head, "Your Majesty is the hero, and the false emperor is not even worthy to carry his shoes, how can he compare?"

"Yes! The false emperor can tolerate the unscrupulous annexation of the land by the descendants, but His Majesty will not. This is what the empress means."

Zhou Xin was woken up by the queen's beating, "If we wait for Ah Weng and A Ye to return, the situation of the Zhou family will be full of flowers, adding fuel to the flames...the wealth and honor are in line with what the empress said about the opposite way. Animals. Things will be reversed at the extreme!"

Zhou Hu said: "That's it, press it down first, and wait until Aye and the elder brother come back. By the way, did the palace ever say to rescue them?"

Zhou Xin shook his head, and Zhou Hu sighed: "That's right, the false emperor must treat Aye and the others very strictly."

Zhou's young men who overwhelmed others in Pingkangfang returned the brothel, and then they were beaten at home and banned for half a year.

This has aroused public opinion in Chang'an City, saying that the queen is indeed His Majesty's virtuous helper.

"When wealth reaches its extreme, it is a disaster."

Zhou Ning could see clearly.

"The relationship between the descendants and the emperor has always been very complicated, and there is a secret struggle in the cooperation. If you can see this clearly, Aning, the future of the Zhou family must be bright!"

The empress was lying on the bed. The emperor had just exhausted himself and praised the empress breathlessly.

"The Zhou family is too rich." Zhou Ning was thinking about the words "the one who rebels is the one who moves the way." I pondered the experience of those who knew it, and it really is that things must be reversed when they are extreme."

"It's the so-called 30 years in Hedong, 30 years in Hexi, sleep!"

The emperor had seen these things clearly a long time ago, and without moving his expression, he put down the arrogance that Zhou's just raised.

He's been looking pretty laid back lately.

It wasn't until one day that Luo went to the palace to see him, and handed over a thick list.

"Your Majesty, these officials are available."

The emperor took the roster, flipped through a few pages, and said casually, "The spring breeze is here."

Luo Cai felt chills running down his spine, "Your Majesty, do you really want to do something?"

"The population dispute is related to the rise and fall of the country, and it is even more related to the future development plan of the Tang Dynasty. If the Tang Dynasty can last for a long time, it must mobilize the enthusiasm of everyone. You feel that only relying on those greedy meat Or, can this Great Tang enjoy long-term stability? Relying on them, this Great Tang will only decline faster!"

"Only by pulling the common people in! Let the common people become a force in this world, and this Great Tang can stand firm!"

The emperor resolutely said: "People from the Tang Dynasty should not be slaves!"
