Since Li Zhongyi led the army of tigers and wolves into Kaifeng City, the early dynasty, which was purely ceremonial in nature, was suspended indefinitely.

This means that the chief officials of the various yamen and the officials of the Beijing Dynasty do not need to go out on the fourth watch every day and go to court in the dark.

At the beginning, there were indeed many officials who secretly scolded Li Zhongyi. Slowly, as time went by, the officials of the Beijing Dynasty gradually discovered that getting up late and going directly to the yamen to go to work was better than doing useless work every day, and it was really better to go out eighteen streets.

In this way, everyone is happy, Li Zhongyi can lie down until the sun rises, and the officials of the Beijing Dynasty can also sleep lazily every day.

Especially the old and frail ministers, they were surprised to find that since they didn't need to go to the morning court, their energy to deal with government affairs was much more vigorous than the original one getting up earlier and darker.

The old people have little sleep, but the nightlife is very rich, and the silk bamboo plays and sings, hindering the stalk of the early dynasty, it is always difficult to enjoy it.

Now that Li Zhongyi and everyone are liberated, they play their own leisure and entertainment projects, and they don't delay normal government affairs.

Kong Kun, who was in charge of the marriage ceremony, sat at the head of Li Zhongyi and talked eloquently: "Lord, according to the ancient etiquette, it should be three media and six appointments, headed by Dayan, with a total of 128 makeup ......."

Kong Kun's heart, in fact, strongly disagrees with the big maneuver of marrying Li Qiniang. The so-called three media and six hires, that is the etiquette of marrying a queen or a genuine princess, just a palace concubine, how can it be transgressed?

Helplessly, the world is Li Zhongyi's world, if Kong Kun dares to oppose the grand marriage of Li Qiniang, the phase will definitely not be guaranteed!

How can an arm be stretched over a thigh?

In the face of huge interests, the so-called rules or etiquette can only stand aside!

The so-called, if something is good at the top, it will be very bad at the bottom, Li Zhongyi is particularly fond of Li Qiniang, how can the cabinet bear it?

Of course, deep in Kong Kun's heart, there is another layer of consideration. After Li Qiniang entered the palace, immediately afterwards, she was going to elect the best girl in the world before the year!

Since it is the first time to hold a draft and it has entered winter, the time is naturally a little tight. However, Kong Daiyao, the only daughter of the Kong family, is the best choice in terms of appearance and talent, and Kong Kun is confident that she will be chosen.

If Kong Daiyao can be directly canonized as a concubine, and follow Li Qiniang to do such a big deal, Kong Kun, the outer Confucius brother, will definitely have a very bright face.

Of course, if Kong Daiyao is made a concubine, Yu Kong Kun's reputation and prestige will also have a great negative impact. Nepotism, relatives, and scolding such as tending to inflammation must follow.

Kong Kun doesn't care about that, though. Maybe he was stimulated by Neikong when he was a teenager, and his greatest wish in his life, in addition to being the real prime minister, was to be the natural head of the Confucian family.

According to Confucian standards, people like Kong Kun are typical talented and virtuous, and they should be demoted from the capital.

However, Li Zhongyi's concept of moral integrity and ability is actually very different from the prevailing standards of this era.

It is the highest morality of the ruler to rule the country by law, punish the doctor, and let the powerful people in the world dare not defy the law!

Li Zhongyi's self-cultivation has always been very good, although Kong Kun has a lot of etiquette that he is not interested in, he always keeps smiling and silently waits for Kong Kun to finish speaking.

"Lord, considering that the princess has not yet entered the palace, do you think that you should consider reducing it slightly?" Although Kong Kun thought about the position of power, after all, he was worried about offending the future queen, so he made a small reservation at the end.

Li Zhongyi immediately laughed, no wonder someone once said that the more you read, the more reactionary you become, and reactionary here means that if you think too long-term, it is easy to look ahead and look backward.

In many cases, the more you think about it, the more you have to worry about it, and the more difficult it is to get things done. This is also the source of the allusion to Xiucai's rebellion and three years of failure.

"It's okay!" Between Li Zhongyi and Chai Yuniang, there is a continuous cold war, and the time to marry her can only be pushed again and again.

If it weren't for Li Qiniang's age, if she didn't marry and enter the door, she would definitely leave gossip, and Li Zhongyi would rather wait and see.

The so-called etiquette, if there is no strength to back it up, is just a floating cloud. Back then, after Emperor Xuantong abdicated the throne, he still played the game of the dynasty in the Forbidden City, but the result was that the old ministers who were absent at will without greeting were simply as many as cows, how could there be any dignity at all?

The empress of the Tongzhi Emperor, the Alut clan, once said in front of the Empress Dowager Cixi: "The concubine was carried into the palace from the Great Qing Gate!" ”

As a result, as soon as Emperor Tongzhi died, the Arut clan died of an inexplicable violent illness, and even the funeral rites were reduced again and again, and the funeral ceremony of the dignified queen and mother of the country was inferior to ordinary concubines.

Kong Kun knew that he couldn't do anything, and he didn't have the courage to continue to persuade him, so he had to retire for a long time.

After Kong Kun left, Li Zhongyi changed into a coarse linen coat, put on burlap shoes, and led the eldest son Gouwa, the second son Ling Ge'er, and the third son Xing Ge'er, and the father and son swaggered out of the back door.

As the master of entrepreneurship, Li Zhongyi deeply understands the important connotation of down-to-earthness. The small people, in fact, don't care who is the emperor and who is sitting in the country.

To put it bluntly, whoever is in charge of their own affairs has to pay taxes, taxes, and conscription. What the little people care about most is actually a few major events that open the door: firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea.

Commodity prices, especially the price of grain, are the most important matter that the ordinary people are most concerned about.

The grain is cheap and hurts the peasants, and the grain is expensive and hurts the peasants!

The logic is actually very simple, the price of grain is too low, and the farmers who farm the land must be miserable, but the family's expenses need to be maintained, which requires usury.

Printing money, rolling profits, ten lifetimes, can't pay it off!

Once an honest yeoman farmer borrows money from India, more than ninety percent of them are forced to sell their land first, then their wives, their children, and finally, they become hired farmers, long-term laborers, or even homeless people.

However, the honest peasants, who are expensive and have no knowledge, and whose information flow is completely blocked, still cannot make a lot of money, and the benefits are taken by the big landlords, big grain merchants, and magnates.

Li Zhongyi attaches great importance to the people's livelihood and economy, and although the price reports of Tiqisi and Kaifeng Prefecture are submitted to the desk every day, he still spends at least three days a month leading his sons over eight years old to go around the various markets in the city to check what the prices are.

The four most noble fathers and sons in the world actually went out at the same time, and Chu Xiong, who was in charge of personal guards, had his whole heart twisted into a ball.

These four people, as long as they are a little late, or miss, Chu Xiong will not be redeemed even if he dies.

Li Zhongyi caught a glimpse of Chu Xiong's extremely stiff face, and couldn't help but be a little funny, saying that the building near the water got the moon first, but he only saw people eating meat and drinking wine, but he didn't see people sitting on wax.
