"Last night's song "A Laugh in the Sea" was good, why have I never heard you sing it? Why doesn't a courtier know? After leaving on the second day, after Li Zhi finished breakfast on the horse-drawn train, he said to Li Hong, who was covering his head and had a headache because of his hangover.

"Son-in-law singing? Who of them would dare to listen? What's more, the queen mother hated my singing voice very much, so the retainer could only entertain himself in the harem. Li Hong leaned his head against the window, expecting the cold temperature on the glass to clear his head.

A song like this that is too advanced is obviously impossible to accept in the Tang Dynasty, and even if Li Hong compulsorily orders the courtiers to listen to his own singing, as the emperor, it is impossible for him to pull down his identity and cheekiness and give the ministers such a laugh.

But in any case, this martial arts song from more than a thousand years later, both the lyrics and songs still have the boldness and domineering in line with the Tang Dynasty.

After he finished singing last night, Li Zhi and Wu Mei, who still felt that they were not happy, naturally let Wen Wen sing a song "Laughing Hongchen" when they were still unsatisfied, although the lyrics were more straightforward and colloquial, but compared to Li Zhi and Wu Mei, who had accepted the art of opera, it was still good to be purely entertaining.

And because there are not too many kinds of accompaniment at the moment, plus songs like "Laughing Hongchen" or "A Laugh in the Sea", there is no need for an electronic soundtrack, plus Yan Lingbin, who helped Li Hong rearrange it, after integrating the complex changes in tunes after more than a thousand years, as well as today's simple soundtrack, it sounds like it has a different taste.

And coupled with the colloquialism and straightforwardness of the lyrics, and then singing from the mouth of Wen Nuxia, who has always longed for a high-rise, uneven, and free ranger life, it is extremely in line with the gentle chivalrous temperament.

"Hongchen is ridiculous, infatuation is the most boring, and it's okay to be empty-eyed. This life is not over, but the heart is no longer disturbed, and I just want to exchange for half a lifetime. When I woke up, I smiled at people, forgot all about my dreams, and sighed that it was too dark. The next life is unpredictable, love and hate are written off, and when I sing about wine, I just want to be happy until I am old. No matter how cold the wind is, I don't want to escape, and I don't want the flowers to be beautiful, let me sway. The higher the sky, the smaller the heart, regardless of how much cause and effect there is, drunk alone, crying today, laughing tomorrow, not asking anyone to understand, proud, singing and dancing, the long night is long and unaware, and will be happy to find. ”

"It's also easy and freehand, free and easy, but is it difficult for you to write this word?" Li Zhi wrote the lyrics himself early this morning, although this word does not make people regurgitate the impulse, but looking at these words from time to time, it can also have some aftertaste.

"No, these should be some remote cultures in Lingnan Province, but we don't know much about it now." Li Hong lowered his head and drank the porridge brought by Shangguan Wan'er personally, and said lightly.

And when he finished speaking, Li Zhi sneered a few times with disdain, looked at Li Hong, who lowered his head and drank porridge by himself, and then looked at the slowly receding scenery outside the window, sighed and said, "Oops...... I didn't expect that now there are things that bother you, the eldest husband is the so-called daring to act, when you are the prince, you look at the world, and you don't care about anything, why now that you have become the Supreme of the Ninety-Five, you have become timid, this is not like your Li Hong's style. ”

It's been more than thirty years, and since Li Hong spoke out, it is impossible that he will hum some small tunes from the previous life during this time, but before that, he has never put these on the table like he has done in recent years, and even Yan Lingbin can't catch the small tunes that Li Hongping said occasionally hummed out of his mouth.

But if they can't grasp these relaxed and complex changes, it doesn't mean that they are unfamiliar with these in the time they spend with Li Hong, not to mention that whether it is "The Legend of the White Snake", or "The Legend of the West Chamber", etc., there are Li Hong's shadows in some easy-to-understand words and lyrics, so now like "A Laugh in the Sea" or "Laughing Hongchen", for Li Zhi and others, it is easy to think that it is Li Hong's work.

And with the imperceptibility of thirty years, whether it is the palace maids and eunuchs in the palace, or Li Zhi, Wu Mei, or the women of Li Hong's harem, in fact, most of them have accepted this art emotionally.

But their acceptance does not mean that everyone accepts it, nor does it mean that Li Hong quietly tinkers with these in the harem, so it will not spread out of the palace and reach the ears of others.

"The grievances and grievances between you and the scholar doctor, the five surnames and seven wangs can't stop until now, and if you don't admit these now, you're afraid that those people will attack you with these, right?" Wu Mei didn't know when she came over, and after sitting down next to Li Zhi, she poked Li Hong on the shoulder with the feather duster in her hand and asked.

"Those people are not to be afraid, if the retainers are afraid of their attack, they will not want to completely uproot them ......."

"Li Hong, you tell me the truth, it just so happens that your father is also here, so I will ask you, why do you have to force the five surnames and seven to die? Over the years, you have used them to spread the traditional culture of my Tang Dynasty, those subsets of scriptures and histories, etc., and even the annotations of the Classic of Mountains and Seas can cover Goguryeo, Silla, and even the Wa Kingdom, and now basically the cultural blood of my Tang Dynasty has gradually taken root and been accepted by them, and it can even be said that you have completely destroyed the culture of other people in less than ten years, and then paved the culture of our Tang Dynasty, so that even if the five surnames and seven wangs are useless here in you Li Hong, Can't you be convicted and let you continue to suppress, or even want to eliminate it completely, right? Wu Mei glanced at Li Zhi and asked Li Hong, who was drinking a bowl of porridge, very strangely.

Shangguan Wan'er and the others, after hearing Wu Mei's question, including the eunuchs in this carriage, were ready to retreat, leaving a private space for His Majesty, the Emperor and the Empress Dowager to discuss matters.

But when Shangguan Wan'er just walked to the junction of the carriage, she was stopped by Li Hong: "Come and listen, it may be used in the future." ”

Li Hong, who wiped his mouth, his head was a little sober and relaxed after the hangover, and after tilting his head and moving his neck a few times, he looked at Shangguan Wan'er who was sitting next to him, and then looked at Li Zhi and Wu Mei opposite, pondered and said, "Do you understand universal education?" ”

Seeing that the three of them shook their heads in unison, Li Hong quickly sorted out his thoughts and continued: "The five surnames and seven wangs were in charge of the selection of officials in the court, and the parallel of the nine-rank Zhongzheng system and the imperial examination system often brings more resources to the people recommended as officials. Seventy percent or even eighty percent of the officials will still come from the five surnames and seven hopes, or other scholars, so that the officials in the court are still easy to form their own system, and there are still five surnames and seven wangs above the court. It's hard to say that half of the effect will be achieved by then, right? ”

Li Hong held the tea that Shangguan Wan'er had made, watched Father Long and Mother Long reminisce about what he said, and looked out the window without speaking, leaving time for his father and queen mother to digest.

Time is slowly moving forward, the carriage is also slowly moving forward on the tracks, the green outside the window changes shape and appears in people's sight, after a while, it is still Wu Mei who asks first: "Then what do you want?" ”

"What the retainers want is that all the policies for governing the country will only come from the court, not be influenced by the scholars and doctors to cause trouble to the court." Li Hong quietly looked at the three people in front of him, his expression became a little solemn and surprised, and continued: "Erchen can even tolerate the relationship between officials and officials to become closer, but it is absolutely not allowed to have a huge family or force behind the officials, which will bring resistance to the implementation of government affairs in the court. ”

"If you are like this, who can give me advice and advice to Datang? This is not to govern the world with will, if you want to completely and completely get rid of those scholars, or the five surnames and seven hopes, when you encounter bottlenecks and problems in governing the country, what should you do? There is not even a strategist or staff around ....... ”

"If that really happens, then all the officials in the three provinces and six ministries should be killed. Isn't that the role of officials? If half of the role and responsibility of the officials are shouldered by the scholars or the wealthy families behind the officials, then the court is dangerous. Li Hong held a transparent crystal teacup and looked out the window thoughtfully.

Shangguan Wan'er looked at Li Zhi and Wu Mei, and then said softly: "Although Your Majesty's idea is a little too extreme, but now that my Tang Dynasty has risen to peace, there is not much threat to the surrounding area, and now it is a good time to take advantage of this opportunity to rectify the dynasty or the scholars and the wealthy families behind them." ”

"These are not important, the important thing is that the world cannot be governed by the royal family and the wealthy families, but by the royal family and the officials." Li Hong turned his head, looked appreciatively at Shangguan Wan'er, who supported his position, and said.

"What's the difference?" Wu Mei asked lightly, she has always been like this, when she has not figured out a thing, there are always more questions than opinions, and only when she is sure that she has fully understood Li Hong's thoughts, she will express her opinions.

Instead of being like Li Zhi, no matter where he hears it, whenever he feels that there is a problem, he will immediately raise an objection.

The difference is that wealthy families can only represent the interests of a part of the class, but officials can represent the interests of the entire world. As long as the five surnames and seven hopes are completely eliminated, private schools or official schools are set up, so that all people have the opportunity to study and gain fame, and give them the opportunity to enter the ranks regardless of their background, in this way, it will never be many years before the official fortune of my Datang may come from all walks of life. Li Hong looked at his dragon mother's thoughtful eyes and said solemnly.
