Hanjing, Zhao Wangfu.
Returning from the palace, Li Chao went to the greenhouse in the back garden.
Although the family has been away from Hanjing for a long time, there are still many stewards and servants in the family, and they still keep the house in order.
It's getting colder and colder, and the grass outside is yellow, but inside the greenhouse is lush.
Looking at these greens, my mood is much more relaxed.
Go to the rattan rocking chair and sit down and let it rock gently.
The parliament was finally established, but it is a pity that Datang has a powerful king.
This is not good news, Li Chao remembers that someone once said that the Ming Dynasty died at the hands of the emperor, especially those who were more powerful.
Ming originally had a fairly good cabinet system, if the emperors were all like the carpenter emperor, the power would naturally be in the hands of the cabinet, and there would not be the same constant tossing as Chongzhen, maybe the rotten court could still rely on inertia to maintain some more time.
But Chongzhen is ambitious and loves tossing, so the decaying Ming Dynasty can't stand the toss anymore and falls apart in advance.
Li Chao disagrees with this statement, of course, there is a little truth in this kind of remarks.
If the emperor is too strong, then the edge will inevitably overshadow the court and the prime minister, and the monarch and the minister will inevitably completely override the prime minister's power, rather than the mutual restraint and balance between the monarch and the minister.
In the final analysis, imperial power also needs to be balanced and constrained.
If the emperor is too strong, no one will restrain him, and he will inevitably be prone to accidents.
This is true throughout the ages.
But in front of the first generation of emperor Li Shimin, the so-called Xiangquan is just a joke.
Even if he single-handedly established the group system of today's Tang Dynasty, established the Zhongshu Gate, and established the three courts, the power organs were layered on top of each other, and the power was divided into checks and balances.
But the emperor dismissed half of the prime ministers with one sentence, which is the best mockery.
The prime ministers had no room for resistance in front of the emperor.
The current parliament established by Li Chao is actually the same.
It was extremely fragile, but Li Chao still tried hard.
Not today, maybe not tomorrow, but one day, it will be useful.
He was only in his thirties, and the aristocratic group of the Tang Empire was so huge, and it would become even bigger and bigger in the future.
The emperor will soon be forty years old, and the emperors in history only lived to be fifty years old, and Zhenguan died in the twenty-third year.
In this life, Xuanwumen was advanced by three years, and if Li Shimin's lifespan was still only so long, then the emperor would only have thirteen years to live.
Thirteen years is not a long time.
Thirteen years later, Li Chao was only in his forties.
He still has a lot of time to do what he wants to do.
Today's conversation with Li Shimin was relatively relaxed and satisfying.
The emperor can be regarded as making his attitude clear to Li Chao today, he will not engage in expansion, and the last time the matter has come to an end.
The prince is still the prince, but with a little more patience.
When that day comes, he will naturally pass the throne to the crown prince.
However, today the emperor also said that he would add some members of the House of Nobles, which was originally only awarded to nobles who had actual titles of nobility and were over twenty-one years old, but now the emperor wanted to give those who had titles of fictitious lifelong noble councilors, and those who had served as three divisions, three dukes and prime ministers also had the title of members of the House of Nobles.
There is no limit to the number of the House of Lords, and there are no additions when a member dies.
However, newly crowned nobles are automatically eligible.
Now the title of the Tang Dynasty has only been divided into two kinds, one is the hereditary title, also known as the real title, whoever is awarded the real title must be a hereditary title, and the special purpose can not be downgraded, and the non-special purpose needs to be downgraded.
The lifelong title is not a real title and cannot be hereditary.
Anyone who is worshiped as a ruler and assistant, if there is no title, the court will confer a prince for life.
The clan of the Tang Dynasty has both real and lifelong seals, and the clan is also a member of the House of Nobles.
A councillor is not an official position, nor a rank, nor even a salary, but it is a power.
The House of Representatives is similar to some of the functions of the Imperial Historical Tower, which can discuss politics, supervise the administration, and impeach officials.
These powers, if they are well functioned, can also play a great role.
However, the number of parliamentarians is still too much, there are more than 3,000 actual nobles who have reached the age of twenty-one alone, not to mention that there are many real nobles who have not yet become full, and now the emperor wants to let a large number of lifelong nobles also become members of the House of Nobles, which is too many.
Now Li Chao is already planning to get a committee or something, and then select hundreds of members, or dozens of standing committee members.
He now suspects that Li Shimin has bad motives for pulling in the nobles with lifelong titles.

Imagine that there are five or six thousand noble councillors crowded into the House of Nobles, and then how so many people will hold a meeting and then it will not become a vegetable market, and chickens and ducks will talk The aristocrats come from all over the world, and the time they can get together each year is limited, so maybe the time will be noisy.
There is still a long way to go for the House of Nobles to truly play the role of political supervision, and not just become a nursing home or a party.
There was a sound of footsteps.
The door was pushed open.
Li Chao sat up, and an exclamation sounded.
It seems that his sudden appearance frightened the visitors.
"The slave and maid visited King Zhao, the slave and maid didn't know that King Zhao was here, and disturbed King Zhao, please forgive King Zhao."
Li Chao raised his head and looked at the little girl in front of him.
The body is a little thin, the same age as his daughter, but the eyebrows are quite beautiful.
"I'll bask in the sun here, it's okay, you're okay" "Slaves and maids come to water and weed."
Li Chao nodded, this girl is so small, how can she be in charge of this greenhouse.
"How can the steward arrange for your little girl to do this?"
"It's not arranged by the steward, the slave maid was originally the maid ring in the princess's courtyard, and now the princess has entered the palace, and the slave and maid have nothing to do every day, because she has helped the princess come to the greenhouse to get things before, so she knows here.
The slaves and maids love the flowers and plants, so sometimes they sneak over to water them when no one is around.
The girl said with some trepidation.
Li Chao found that this girl seemed a little familiar.
"What's your name?"
"The slave is called Mei Niang."
Mei Niang, Li Chao was stunned when she heard this name, and looked at her again, "Your surname is Wu" "Exactly."
"You are the daughter of Ying Guogong," Li Chao asked in surprise.
Wu Meiniang nodded.
"I didn't expect you to be the daughter of Ying Guogong, and in the blink of an eye, you have become a big girl.
Sit down."
Wu Meiniang sat down on the side, and after she sat down, she quietly peeked at Li Chao with her eyes, but she happened to meet Li Chao's gaze.
The frightened fawn lowered her head, and her face was still red.
Li Chao laughed.
"It's clever, it's bold.
Back then, I was also an old friend of your father, and I even made an appointment with your father for a family affair.
It's a pity that something happened to your father later, and your martial arts family also declined because of it. ” "Mei Niang also knows these past events, and she has always remembered King Zhao's care for our family, and I have lived a good life in the palace over the years."
Samurai participated in the Restoration Rebellion, and although he later committed suicide anyway, the samurai family was still liquidated in the end.
Men were exiled to the frontier as prisoners, and women were sent to the court.
Wu Meiniang was originally engaged to Li Chao's concubine, and at that time she was also young, Li Chao took pity on her, so she begged for a favor and let her stay in Li's mansion.
But her identity has changed from the daughter of the national family to a lowly slave, and the marriage contract was naturally dissolved.
He ignored the girl.
I didn't expect it to have grown so big, and it was indeed a beautiful embryo.
Xia Huaniang entered the palace and didn't take her with her, which made Li Chao breathe a sigh of relief.
In case Xia Hua takes Wu Meiniang into the East Palace, this Wu Meiniang and Cheng Qian hook up, I'm afraid it's just worrying.
"Since you like it so much, then this greenhouse will be managed by you in the future, and you will be the greenhouse manager in the future."
Li Chao said to her with a smile.
Wu Meiniang was overjoyed, "Thank you King Zhao." ” Because of seeing Wu Meiniang, Li Chao has been a little distracted that day.
"San Lang, there are some things that the concubine should not say, but she has to say it."
Cui Yingying stared at Li Chao.
"You say."
Li Chao was still a little absent-minded.
"I heard that you met the girl from the martial arts family today, and promoted her to be a greenhouse manager" "Hmm."

Li Chao responded casually.
"If you want me to say, in fact, the martial arts girl is really smart, tall, slim, especially smart and clever, I also like this girl."
"It's good."
Li Chaodao.
Cui Yingying's face was already ugly, she clenched her fists, "San Lang, don't forget, although this girl has broken off the marriage contract with our family Shiro, but she was engaged to Shiro before, if it weren't for the martial arts family that happened, she would have entered our Li family and be your daughter-in-law." ” "Yes, this girl was originally very good with the fourth child, but it's a pity."
"What a pity, then you just fell in love with it, and then you couldn't give up, okay, you Li Sanlang, you still have to be shameless" Li Chao was shocked by Cui Yingying's sudden angry appearance.
"What strange things are you talking about, I also accidentally ran into her today, I felt a little indebted to her, and I saw that she was smart and clever, so I asked her to be a greenhouse manager, how can you have any other ideas, where do you think of it?"
Cui Yingying was skeptical, "But you haven't been giving up today, not because you fell in love with that girl."
"What do you think, don't say that she was engaged to Shiro, and don't say that I had an old relationship with her father, just that I'm the kind of person who doesn't choose to eat, is it a thirteen-year-old little girl, and she hasn't grown."
"So what's wrong with you today?"
"I miss our daughter, and I don't know if I'm doing well in the East Palace."
Li Chao said that after he saw Wu Meiniang today, he really missed his daughter again.
But.
He wasn't exactly thinking about his daughter, he also thought of another person, not Wu Meiniang.
He thought of satisfaction.
In history, Wu Meiniang was first called into the palace by Li Shimin to be a talented person, and later followed Li Zhi.
Wu Mei and Li Zhi are a couple, and Li Zhi is crazy about Wu Mei.
And in history, Li Chengqian is also crazy about a person, but he is satisfied with the music boy of Taichang Temple.
Undertake the dry and satisfying the foundation Cheng Qian is his son-in-law, how can he let this happen.
He has been thinking about this today, and has made a decision, and when he turns around, he will let people go to Taichang Temple to find this satisfaction, and then send it as far as he can, this kind of delicate and cheap goods must not stay in Beijing, otherwise, if he hooks up with Cheng Qian one day, what will he do with his daughter. alas It's so difficult to be a father-in-law, and he has to defend his daughter against the mistress, and the mistress is a fucking man t1706231537:
