The Prodigal Son of Zhenguan

Empress Changsun thought for a while and slowly said: "From my point of view, this matter is no different from the major affairs of the court. We must focus on handling it. After all, it is not suitable for Erlang to come forward to balance the royal family and the noble family. Only I can do it."

"The affairs of the inner court are all family affairs of the royal family. Compared with family affairs and state affairs, which one is more important can be seen at a glance."

Li Shimin looked up at his wife.

"Are you going to take care of both ends?"

"This, your body..."

Empress Changsun smiled.

"It has been a year since I took care of myself. During this year, the palace has not been so busy that I feel exhausted. Besides, there is not only me, the queen, in the harem, there are other concubines."

"Under the queen, there are four concubines. During this year, my sisters have helped me do a lot of things, which makes me feel much more relaxed."

"In the inner court, the queen is in charge and the four concubines are in charge. I believe that there will be no difference from usual. I believe in my sisters, and Erlang should also believe in them." Empress Changsun said with a smile.

In the inner court, there are actually not many things to deal with unless it is a festival. Trivial matters can be handled by each palace on their own. Some matters that are not too big or small have their own precedents in previous years, and most of them are handled according to the rules of previous years.

As for the palace fighting, jealousy, and favor?

In recent years, many things in the court have been enough to give Li Shimin a headache. He doesn't care about these bad things in the harem, and he doesn't often go to the palaces. After dealing with the government affairs in the evening, he rushes to the Lizheng Hall.

In the Lizheng Hall, the couple still have to discuss serious matters, palace affairs, and even court affairs. Although Empress Changsun has always said that the harem should not interfere in politics, Li Shimin can't do without her advice and comfort.

When the court officials make Li Shimin uncomfortable and feel uncomfortable, Li Shimin will definitely come to Empress Changsun for comfort.

Wei Zheng is an example.

At the beginning, because of the Sun Fujia incident, plus Wei Zheng, the court officials of the Zhenguan Dynasty really dared to speak out.

If the court officials said something unpleasant, the emperor would be angry.

You can't vent your anger in front of the court officials.

Isn't the emperor wronged?

Who can he tell about his grievances?

He can only complain to his wife.

The status of Empress Changsun in the Tang Dynasty and in Li Shimin's heart could not be replaced by anyone.

Even if the incident was brought to Li Yuan, Li Yuan would not scold his daughter-in-law even if he scolded his son.

The women in the harem would be crazy to be jealous of Empress Changsun and fight against her in the palace.

If Empress Changsun did not nod, Concubine Yang would not be able to enter the palace.

"So I plan to divide part of the affairs of the inner court and let the sisters in each palace participate." Empress Changsun said: "The rest is that each palace still manages its own palace affairs. In this way, the harem is stable, and I can also divide my mind to deal with the affairs of the charity. In addition, the charity will only have a lot of things at the beginning when everything is just beginning. In the future, there will be rules for everything, and there will not be too many things unless something big happens."

"It's the same with the affairs of the court. There will always be a rule for big and small things that have happened and been dealt with. In the absence of special circumstances, everyone will act according to the rules. When there are special and different situations, they will be re-discussed and the original rules will be changed to adapt to what is happening now."

Li Shimin nodded.

"Well, that's right."

The handling of big and small affairs in the court is almost the same. If every matter must be discussed with the emperor and asked to help find a solution, there will be too many things in the world.

In fact, it was nothing more than each department following the routine. If there was anything, they would formulate a solution according to past experience and submit it to Li Shimin.

After Li Shimin read it, he thought it was appropriate and approved it.

Then he just did it.

The three provinces and six ministries, when in operation, could relieve a lot of the emperor's burden.

"So, the beginning of the establishment was the most difficult. At this time, Huairen, who proposed this matter, was under great pressure. So, if the two of us do more, it can also relieve Huairen's burden." Empress Changsun smiled gently: "Huairen has helped the court a lot this year."

"Yes." Li Shimin also sighed: "This kid still has some advantages."

"More than a little, if Huairen was not excellent, how could Erlang let him be Chengqian's teacher." Empress Changsun covered her mouth and chuckled.

Empress Changsun was partial to her eldest son in her heart. As long as Li Chengqian was well, she would be satisfied.

She also loved other children, but Li Chengqian had the status of a prince and always had to be with the others.The love of children is different.

She didn't want the tragedy that happened to Li Shimin to repeat itself on her own children, so she simply favored them a little and let the other children understand that they had no hope.

The tragedy of Xuanwu Gate was that the emperor gave too much hope, but later wanted the King of Qin to bear all the consequences.

As a mother, she hopes that her children can live and live well.

As long as they don't fight or fight, then they can live well as a king, whether in Chang'an or in the fiefdom.

Li Shimin looked at Empress Changsun.

"Things in the inner court will be done according to your wishes, and I will not participate."

"You said that the harem does not interfere in politics, then I, the emperor, will only take care of the affairs of the previous dynasty. In the palace, everything is up to you, and what you say is what it is. Even if I am in the palace, I will listen to you."

Li Shimin had a smile on his face.

Husband and wife, the previous dynasty and the harem, are mutual.

"Your Majesty, you are joking. You are Your Majesty, and you can manage the affairs of the harem."

"Don't be too tired to take care of the affairs of the palace during the Mid-Autumn Festival. It's just right to take this opportunity to let others try to do it." Li Shimin said, "You can also see who can be entrusted with the important task."

"Okay." Empress Changsun responded.

There are three banquets in the palace. The officials of the Ministry of Rites will focus on preparing for the gatherings between the emperor and the court officials. The most grand ones, on the contrary, the empress doesn't have to worry about them.

Mainly, there are gatherings with the ladies in the inner court, and family banquets in Da'an Palace. Family banquets must be organized by the empress. As for the gatherings with the ladies in the inner court, Empress Changsun plans to let others handle them.

They will also participate at that time.

The matter of rewards can only be considered by the empress, or others can draw up according to the list and submit it to the empress for reference and modification.

The inner court is also a small court.

The women the emperor placed in the harem were not entirely based on his own preferences.
