The original Duke of Chu State, after many expansions, is now comparable to Fu Yanqing's Wei Palace.

However, in the capital, there are many princely mansions that are larger than Li Zhongyi's ruling palace.

Not to mention, just the Huayang County Palace, which was rewarded to Li Qiong by Guo Wei, the Taizu of this dynasty, is more than three times larger than Li Zhongyi's home.

In order to facilitate the cabinet ministers to find someone to talk to, Li Zhongyi deliberately opened a door on the east side of the ruling palace.

Originally, Li Zhongyi didn't plan to name this gate, but he couldn't stand the collective coaxing of the ministers headed by Kong Kun, so he reluctantly gave it an unusually loud name: Shenwu Gate.

The ministers all thought crookedly, there was a Xuanwu Gate in the former Tang Dynasty, and a Shenwu Gate appeared in this dynasty, hehe, complement each other!

In fact, this door is not the other door, the true origin of Shenwu Gate, except for Li Zhongyi, no one knows!

The cabinet is the place where the power of the great power is concentrated, and there is a lot of traffic outside the Shenwu Gate every day, and there are simply so many officials coming and going.

The unattainable Zhu Zi heavy ministers are like carp crossing the river here, and no one is rare at all.

However, God is fair, and since Li Zhongyi has all the power in the palm of his hand, he must also bear the noise of people coming and going.

The first one who can't stand it is Li Zhongyi's father Li Dahe. His own son has become the lord of the world, but Li Dahe does not have the arrogance of the king's father at all, he gets up every day as always, exercises his body, accepts the worship of his children and grandchildren, and after breakfast, he goes out to the hospital and takes his apprentice to the clinic.

However, every time Li Dahe went out, he would meet Zhu Zizhongchen or the car of the ministers. Then the question arises, is it the prime ministers who make way for Li Dahe, or Li Dahe who makes way for the ministers?

Li Dahe was simply annoyed, and he didn't want to disturb Li Zhongyi for such a trivial matter, so he simply ordered someone to open a small door on the garden side of his residence to facilitate entry and exit.

The old father wanted to break ground at home, and Li Zhongyi knew it as soon as possible, but he was really embarrassed. If Li Dahe is allowed to make way for the ministers, once it becomes a common practice, it will not be easy to change it back after he recovers Yanyun and ascends the throne as emperor in the future.

On the contrary, the tradition of this dynasty has always been to respect the ministers of Zaifu. It is a popular custom that the prime minister must not be courteous, even if it is a prince, he must retreat.

Therefore, Li Zhongyi only didn't know about Li Dahe's private opening of the small door, and let his father toss it himself.

can be the prime minister, or an important minister in a scarlet suit, which one is not the top person in the human spirit?

Paper can't contain the fire, and Li Dahe's opening of the small door spread throughout the officialdom within a few days. As a result, there was a peculiar scene near the ruling palace, and the officials deliberately avoided Daxing Street, where Li Dahe opened the small door privately, so as not to scold the royal father on the street, which would be embarrassing.

It must be objectively said that the officials' ability to observe words and expressions is absolutely not bad. It's just that the officials' flattering behavior also reminded Li Zhongyi that the issue of his father Li Dahe's reward must be carefully considered.

According to historical practice, there is no room for controversy about the status of Mrs. Xue, Li Zhongyi is the ruling king, and Mrs. Xue is the princess. When Li Zhongyi ascended the throne and became the emperor, Mrs. Xue was the queen mother.

However, Li Dahe is different, he can't be directly named the king, right?

Since ancient times, how can there be a precedent for the Supreme King? The ministers who like to follow the rules want to break their brains, and they can't solve the problem of Li Dahe's reputation.

In addition to the unresolved issue of Li Dahe's identity, the ruling king is also a new title, what kind of clothes Li Zhongyi should wear, what crown to wear, the specifications of the honor guard for travel, the standard of the seal and letter used, etc., have also been noisy.

Originally, Li Zhongyi didn't care too much about these things outside his body, as long as it was roughly the same as his current identity, it was fine.

But the problem is that Li Zhongyi has already decided on the treatment of the case, which has recently been criticized by some officials. These officials did not dare to directly attack Li Zhongyi, but aimed the finger at the cabinet, especially Kong Kun.

Within a few days, dozens of bullet stamps were handed to Li Zhongyi's desk one after another. Among them, the leader is not someone else, it is Shangshu Zuo Chenglin Qingbiao.

Li Zhongyi was not familiar with Lin Qingbiao, he felt strange in his heart, so he ordered Zuo Ziguang to check the details of Lin Qingbiao.

Unexpectedly, in the top-secret archives of the Tiqi Division, there was ready-made information about Lin Qingbiao.

Lin Qingbiao, who was a scholar of the Later Tang Dynasty, went through the ups and downs of several dynasties, and finally ascended to the throne of Shangshu Zuocheng. However, according to the archives, as early as when Guo Wei, the Taizu of this dynasty, ascended the throne, he promoted Lin Qingbiao to Shangshu Zuocheng.

In other words, Lin Qingbiao is not only a vested interest class among the founding heroes, but also far away from Empress Dowager Fu and Fan Zhen, let alone a favored person in the new dynasty after Li Zhongyi took power, and is actually a political lone bird in his own line.

Li Zhongyi pinched Lin Qingbiao's recital, pondered it for a long time, and suddenly raised his head and smiled: "Jiang Ming, some people have really taken a lot of painstaking efforts, and the layout of the article has been planned for more than ten years, which is really admirable." ”

Zuo Ziguang said with a cold face: "Students always remember your famous saying, and they will definitely leave traces when they walk by." This Lin Qingbiao seems to be a lonely bird in officialdom. However, in the early years, some people heard that Lin Qingbiao had some bad relations with the daughter of a certain important minister in the court. ”

"Oh, that's it?" Li Zhongyi suddenly became interested, lace news and gossip stories, even if he was Li, he wanted to hear it.

"Back to his teacher, according to rumors, Lin Qingbiao was quite famous in his early years, and he wrote poems in seven steps, but it was just a piece of cake...... At that time, the social atmosphere was far more open than it is now, and I don't know how, it was rumored that Lin Qingbiao had a private affair with a certain talented woman......"

Li Zhongyi touched his chin and pondered for a while, the so-called post-Tang regime was actually a northern regime established by the Shatuo people, and it had nothing to do with the Tang Dynasty.

Shi Jingjiao, a famous traitor in history, is also from the Shatuo tribe, not my Chinese blood.

During the period when the Shatuo people were in power, the atmosphere of interaction between men and women in society was generally relatively open. Lin Qingbiao, who had just been admitted to the Jinshi Examination, had a personal relationship with the daughter of a minor official at the time, but now she is a heavy minister, which is also something that can be understood and tolerated in society.

After all, even after the establishment of the Great Zhou, the constraints on women in the whole society were not particularly strict. It was not until after the Jingkang disaster that the Song family was forced to cross to the south, and Cheng Zhu Lixue, who paid attention to preserving heavenly principles and destroying people's desires, slowly had some market.

"Hehe, Jiang Ming, I'm looking forward to it now, how many interesting events will happen on the day of my enthronement ceremony?"

Li Zhongyi and Zuo Ziguang, the master and apprentice, looked at each other and smiled, what should come will always come, after all, there are always people who don't believe in evil!
