The twenty-nine-year-old Li Luo became the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty. The people of the southern country have been in peace for a long time. Under the mighty emperor's grace, everyone praised him for his honor. All the civil and military officials were also very happy.

However, Emperor Hongwu, who had only one day ascended the throne, issued a strange imperial edict the next day.

It is the imperial edict of the great concubines.

It was a routine matter for the new emperor to ascend the throne and select beautiful women and enthrone the concubines. It was not surprising that the emperor's imperial edict really shocked the subjects of the world.

"Subiquity of Heaven is called the Emperor! The imperial edict said: In ancient times, the emperor's palaces have been harmonious with yin and yang, and the weather is good, and the country is stable. Therefore, the emperor's rituals are used to enrich the harem with eighty-one destiny. From the empress, there are several concubines... This is the ancient rituals, and I should follow it."

"Therefore, the orchid in spring is the concubine Zhuang, the chrysanthemum in autumn is the concubine Ya, the plum in winter is the concubine Jie, the bamboo in summer is the concubine Qing, the rain in Qingming is the concubine Run, the moon in Mid-Autumn Festival is the concubine Yuan, the Ai of Dragon Boat Festival is the concubine Kang, and the snow in New Year is the concubine Rui."

"This is my eight concubines, the queen, and the ranks are the same as the prince. I hope that the women in the world will be elegant, clean, and harmonious. Then the yin and yang of the Tang Dynasty will be prosperous. The family will prosper, the descendants will prosper, and the prosperity will be expected..."

The Holy Emperor wishes all women in the world to be clean and clean, and to be harmonious!

The great edicts issued by the Tang Dynasty were all passed to the rural office level, and everyone in the world knew it.

I don’t know how many women have moved this edict. Throughout history, I have never heard of the emperor’s issuing such an edict.

And in the officialdom, no matter how slow a person is, he knows what the emperor means.

Especially those civil officials, they immediately analyzed it.

The eight kinds of things are conferred as concubines, and the harem that is truly fulfilling seems to be innovative and unconforming to etiquette, but in fact it is very particular.

The emperor has three meanings. First, he used the help of eight kinds of things to be a concubine, and made his attitude clear: I have taken the initiative to accept the concubine, so don’t report it too much.

This shows that Your Majesty has no intention of accepting a concubine. Anyone who wants to do more things is to go against the holy will.

Who dares to do this?

Although the King of Tang and Emperor of Tang were the same person, once Your Majesty was elected as emperor, his power was immediately incomparable to the past, and in the eyes of his ministers, he was even more high and out of reach.

This is the power of the emperor. No one dares to resist.

The second meaning is to encourage women all over the world to hope that they are clean and clean. This is actually a kind of protection, which shows the importance of women. It also implies that men should not abuse women. They should make them clean and clean. It is to change customs and customs.

Combined with the previous ban on killing babies and rewarding the birth of girls, it can be seen that Your Majesty is very caring for women. Your Majesty believes that there are more men in the world, few women, and women are too humble, leading to yin and yang disorders, which are seriously hindering the prosperous times.

The third meaning is to demonstrate the beauty of the Chinese virtues. From then on, these plum, orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemums have more meanings. Once eight allusions are produced, they are at least used to write poems and lyrics. There are a lot of words to express your feelings.

For example? Before this, it is definitely not easy to write a sentence like "Wheat seedlings are planted on the green road, and I don't know when the Ruifei will come." But from now on, no one dares to say something wrong with such a poem? Fools all know that the poet is saying that he hopes that auspicious snow indicates a good harvest.

The emperor's heart is really far-sighted. A strange edict can achieve this effect.

This has been passed down to later generations and is also a good story.

As for the very few people who were ready to boldly submit a petition to invite the concubine to join the company, they could only be disappointed.

This kind of person is not the old man from Haidong, nor is it the students of Cui Xiuning and Li Luo, but the very few talents from the Yuanting and the Three Kingdoms who were retained, as well as scholars who later defected to the Tang Ting.

For example, because Li Luo was promoted to the marquis of the town, Li Qiang was preparing to submit a report to Concubine Li Luona. He was not familiar with Cui Xiuning shortly after he entered the Tang court, and in his opinion, the emperor had only one woman, which was really incompatible with the etiquette.

People from such families care about the so-called "ritual system".

But if this decree is given, how dare Li Qian?

In fact, Li Luo's imperial edict was equivalent to saving these people's career. If they really reported the report, Cui Xiuning would definitely make them lose their posts and dismissal.

It doesn't even take Cui Xiuning to take action on her own, and her students can take the initiative to get rid of their official positions.

The "back party" are all staring at them.

The Emperor and Empress of the Tang Dynasty were one, and the couple had a deep affection. Of course, there was no so-called "hind party". But most of them knew how great the queen's energy was.

…………

By the way, Li Luo became the emperor, and the news reached Wudang Mountain. He was so happy that a Taoist priest in Zixiao Palace laughed, "Okay, okay! The Emperor of Tang became the emperor, and peace in the world is expected!"

A little Taoist priest said: "Master, we haven't come out of the mountain for several years and do not care about the world. Why does Master seem to know the origin of the emperor?"

The Taoist chuckled and said, "When he was a teacher in the Yuan court, he had a lot of connection with the Emperor Hongwu. This person was from Longxi and a descendant of the Li Tang Dynasty. He didn't expect that he would really achieve his achievements today and would continue the Li family's territory."

"You don't know that this person who has gained great blessings is a great blessing. As a teacher several years ago, he saw that he had the aura of an emperor. What's rare is that he admired Taoism and transformed into Laozi as his ancestor. This great way of earth will flourish again!"

After the Taoist priest finished speaking, he immediately ordered his disciples to pack their bags and prepare to go out of the mountain to pay homage to the old friend of the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty.

In Wuxing, Yuezhou (Zhejiang), in the Qian family's courtyard in the mountains and forests, a middle-aged scholar finished painting a "Picture of Washing Horses" and said, "I will take it away when I frame it."

The young scholar who was ordered asked, "Where will my father go?"

"Go to Jiangling." The middle-aged scholar replied, put down his brush and looked at the autumn scenery of the mountains outside the window, with a calm and relaxing look.

"Why did you suddenly want to go to Jiangling?" The young scholar seemed to have guessed something.

The middle-aged scholar stood in front of the window, stroked his beard with his hands behind his back and said, "The Holy Emperor is in power and can be promoted to the official position."

This person is Qian Xuan, the leader of the eight ministers of Wu Xing. After Zhao Mengfu, one of Wu Xing’s eight ministers, joined the Yuan Dynasty, Qian Xuan was very disdainful and broke up with Zhao Mengfu. He refused to seek envoys several times and would never enter the Yuan court.

But he was born as a Jinshi in the Song Dynasty, so how could he have no political ambitions? How could he not want to be an official? He just didn't want to be an official in the Yuan court.

After Zhao Liangqin raised an army to restore the Song court in Guangzhou, he once went to join the prefect of Meizhou. However, he soon discovered that the small court was still in charge of those unpragmatic things, which were exactly the same as before and did not learn any lessons.

Qian Xuan guessed that the small court would not last long. He was disheartened and resigned from his post to return to the north, lived in seclusion in the countryside, and traveled to the forest, and treated Mr. Wuliu.

At that time, Li Luo had occupied Jiangnan and called himself the King of Tang. All kinds of measures won the hearts of the people and had the strength to unify the southern country, but Qian Xuan did not join the Tang Dynasty.

The reason is very simple. He was the one who suffered the interests of Juntian Ling, and he was a big gentry member.

Although the Qian family is not a powerful and inferior gentry and does not rampant the people in the countryside, they are also a real field owner, not the kind of poor scholar who can farm and study and pass on the family.

The so-called poor family is generally dozens of acres or even dozens of acres of land. It is not completely out of business by farming and studying.

But the Qian family has thousands of acres of fertile land and hundreds of tenant farmers. After ordering the land, the Qian family was confiscated 90% of the land!

It was Qianxuan who cooperated with him. If he did not cooperate or even raised troops to resist, for example, the Shen family, the first wealthy clan in Wuxing, had long been killed and the clan was destroyed. The best outcome for the clan members was to be slaves.

According to the Tang Dynasty's "Equal Land Order", wealthy families can only retain up to 300 acres of land, unless you have a title and a land granted. Otherwise, even if you become prime minister, you cannot exceed 300 acres without a title.

By this calculation, he had a few thousand acres of land, but in the end he had only three hundred acres left, but wasn’t he confiscated 90%?

Therefore, if interests are damaged so much, Qian Xuan will certainly not defect to Tang Ting.

Many gentry surrendered under the force of the Tang army and changed from a big landlord to a small landlord. They hated Tang Ting deeply and Li Luo deeply. Many people vowed not to serve in the Tang Dynasty.

But the situation of choosing this person in the end is good. Although he felt sorry for the huge losses of his family, he also knew that from the perspective of the world, this is correct, a good way to save the world, and a thunder of reform.

Li Luo dared to offend the gentry in the world to do this, because it was for the people, and it was the act of Yao and Shun.

Since Emperor Gaozong's transit south, the trend of the powerful and powerful annexing land has become increasingly fierce, and eventually led to the loss of land among the common people and becoming tenants, which has reached the point of ten farmers and nine out of ten farmers.

Not only are the fertile land and fertile soil, but also the mountains, forests, and waters, all have been merged and occupied. Even though there are mountains and forests in front of Xiaomin, they have to take a long way to chop firewood from other places. They have to plant lotus roots in the lakes and rivers in front of the door, and they have to pay rent to the lake owner and the river owner.

As a result, the court was unable to make ends meet and the common people had difficulty in making a living. Jia Sidao's current problems in implementing the reform of the public land law were all gone.

The Yuan court occupied the south, and the situation worsened. It was difficult for the common people to even make tenants, and they became serfs.

With the vision of choosing money, he knew that land annexation had reached a point where it was not enough to be solved without being demolished and started over. Otherwise, within decades, there would be Yellow Turbans and Yellow Chaos, who would rise up and the world would be in chaos.

This is also the reason why Qian Xuan believes that "the holy emperor can become an official in power."

There are many enlightened scholars and officials from such a wealthy family, whose interests are damaged, but who have decided to enter the Tang Dynasty because of their concern for the whole world.

Like Qian Xuan, these people set off for Jiangling after thinking and waiting.

Not to mention the south, even the scholars from the north, there are many talents who want to go south to join the Tang Dynasty. However, they cannot come to the south in the Yuan-ruling District.

…………

Jiangling Tang Palace, Guangzheng Palace.

Today is the Changchao that happens three times. In the Guangzheng Hall, court officials in regular clothes are calling and worshiping the mountain.

"Sage Jin'an! Long live, long live, long live!"

This sentence has become a congratulations written into the system. According to the rules, the court officials must be called "His Majesty the Emperor". In the court, you can call His Majesty or the Emperor.

The Tang Dynasty did not avoid it, and the word "Luo" could be used. But if you call the emperor and the empress directly, or write the full name of the emperor and the empress directly, it would be a crime of disrespect.

When it comes to the emperor and empress privately, they must use honorary titles and bow to the north if necessary.

At this time, Li Luo did not wear a robe and crown, but was wearing a blue regular dress with auspicious dragon and phoenix, wearing a white jade hat with a black veil with cloud-patterned wingless head, and a nine-section white jade belt around his waist, looking energetic and capable and neat.

According to the preliminary and complete "Da Tang Dynasty Vehicle Costume and Rite System", officials above the fifth grade can use hats. The fifth grade to fourth grade can use silver hats, the third grade and the second grade can use green jade, and only the first grade and the above can use white jade hats.

Only those with a third rank or above can use a jade belt, but only those with three sections can use a nine-section jade belt. Only the emperor and the empress can use it.

Queen Cui Xiuning, sitting on Li Luo's left, was also wearing a regular dress. She did not wear a phoenix crown, but was exposed with a cloud bun and decorated with sapphire headdress. A plum blossom ornament was printed between her eyebrows, which looked both noble and elegant, and charming and beautiful.

Li Luo has been away for a long time, and the people who presided over the court meetings were Cui Xiuning, the regent queen. Even Cui Xiuning has been in charge of the court and has been in charge of the court more times than Li Luo. However, because Tang Feng is open-minded, she is obedient to the government without leaving any trace.

However, Cui Xiuning has not been in the court for half a year. This time, he suddenly came to the court again. It is no surprise that the old people are a little surprised, but the new officials who have joined the Tang Kingdom are a little shocked.

"You are calm." Li Luo helped her with both hands.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" The officials of the nine ministries and twelve temples (sectors) of the three prefectures and nine tribes were sitting on the cushion in an orderly manner, holding the plaques in their arms.

The censors on duty at the Censorate, each came out and sat down in front of the desks under the corridors on both sides. They maintained the etiquette of the hall. If anyone was not dressed, whispered, or took a nap, they would be recorded and impeached.

Ma Zhiyuan, the minister of Silu Temple, personally selected two recorders to prepare records in court.

Silu Temple is a newly established yamen in the Tang Dynasty and belongs to one of the twelve central temples (sectors). This yamen is not only an official history archives department, but also a secretariat department, equivalent to the archives bureau, secretariat or general office of later generations...

"The officials in the court report to the court!" The central official Changshi, who was standing under the Danmu, shouted.
To be continued...
