This Mr. Cen is the Minister of the Secretariat of the Secretariat.

Cen Wenben was very trusted by the emperor. On the one hand, he wrote good articles. After he polished them, he always showed off his talents.

Moreover, he is very low-key, which is in line with Li Shimin's temperament. After all, people who are in the Secretariat have the secrets. If they are too ostentatious, it will inevitably make people feel uneasy.

And this low-key man Cen, who did not show any sensation in anything, naturally gained a foothold among the three provinces.

He just heard what Li Xiurong said and felt very upset.

That little girl is really a life-threatening person.

If a famous person like Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui only had the posthumous title of "Kang", then wouldn't he, the Minister of the Secretariat, be so low-key, become a secret agent?

Cen Wenben's health has always been not very good. He is old and the more he reaches this age, the more he can't help but think about what's happening behind him.

He did not expect his career to go further, replace Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui and become the real prime minister. What he was thinking about was that if the court was particularly kind after his death, he would not dare to pursue Wencheng and Wenzhen, but at least he should give Wen Zhong, Wen Xian and the like.

But...it's fine now.

All finished.

With the princess's interference, she said that she should adhere to principles and not give them privately, but should also be released to the news newspaper for public discussion. Now... Maybe if she really says that he is a corpse and gives a hidden word, it will be a waste of time and nothing will be saved.

He was very panicked, and his health was not good, so he felt ache in his heart after hearing these heart-wrenching words.

Seeing him like this, everyone hurriedly asked him to lie down and fed him warm water.

Cen Wenben then reluctantly let out a long breath and said, "Cough cough... this is not true. Mr. Lu's body is not cold. How can he insult him like this?"

Lu Zhen…

Everyone remembered that if Lu Zhen could not get the posthumous title this time, it would be a precedent.

It seems nothing on the surface.

But in fact, once such a precedent is opened, will other people still be embarrassed to ask for posthumous titles?

However, the posthumous title is related to the glory of ministers after death. It seems to be just a reputation, but in fact... it is a summary of a person's life. If a person dies and cannot get anything, what's the point of living?

"If you want to impeach the princess, you can't let him make trouble."

"How to impeach? Do you cry for a posthumous title? Once the impeachment starts, this matter will be known to everyone. At that time, it will be published in the newspaper. Everyone in the world will pay attention to Mr. Lu. As soon as someone dies, the matters before his death will be excavated one by one, which will make people criticize. How can I be worthy of the deceased when I do this?"

Everyone was silent again.

Obviously, things are very difficult. You can’t impeach everyone once when they give their posthumous title!

People can only die once, but they cannot die well. They have to write down everything they did before their lifetime to evaluate it. Can they live a life?

The most important question is that everyone in this political affairs hall will die, and no one can escape.

Thinking about the fact that one is dead, people arguing between the court and the market about what good and bad things they have done, it makes people shudder. This is because they cannot be at peace even if they die.

"It's so unremitting." A person said angrily: "If you drag it on, how can the Lu family explain?"

Everyone was silent again.

This is a very difficult issue, and it even affects the welfare of everyone here.

…………

On the other end, Li Xiurong and Wu Yu returned to Luan Pavilion.

Wu Qi smiled and said, "Your Highness's words just now make you dare not say a word."

Li Xiurong smiled and said, "Are you actually too tough?"

"When prestige is insufficient, you must show your strength and make people feel fearful. Only when you are powerful and everyone is afraid of your master's wife will it be the time for your master's wife to give you benevolence and righteousness." Wu Qing said seriously: "This is the principle of power and conspiracy in history. If you destroy these and exert benevolence and righteousness at will, then your prestige will disappear, and the power given to Your Majesty by you will collapse."

After hearing this, Li Xiurong suddenly realized.

When prestige is not enough, you must establish prestige, so you have to use tough skills and unyielding determination to surrender. But after everyone surrenders, you can use benevolent and righteous means to let them feel your kindness. If you are inverted, you will give people kindness and kindness when you have no prestige, which will only make people weak and bully.

Li Xiurong felt more and more that Wu Xi seemed to be born as a prime minister.

She smiled and said, "It's just that they will surrender?"

"It's not that fast." Wu Xi said: "They will not be willing to do so, so next, they will show the iron fist of the master's wife. However... from the posthumous method, the master's wife has actually become invincible."

Li Xiurong couldn't help but say, "Why is this?"

"The major events in the court are one of the rituals and laws, and the other is the national economy and people's livelihood. If the national economy and people's livelihood are used to force them to surrender, this is a taboo, because it involves a lot. For example, in the recent disaster in Huainan, the three provinces agreed on relief edicts and promulgated them. If there are troubles in Luan Pavilion at this time, the relief will be delayed. At that time, once the ** is triggered, it will be the responsibility of the teacher's wife."

"So, to force them to surrender, we can only start with etiquette and law. Etiquette is the foundation of the country, and it involves etiquette and discussion, which is to determine the direction of the country. Therefore, the matter of etiquette and discussion is mysterious and mysterious, but it is actually very important. Since the etiquette and discussion is determined, those prime ministers are all well-versed in the past and present, and the master's wife is definitely not their opponent. Since this is the case, then we should start with their pain points. We do not talk about benevolence and righteousness, nor do we discuss morality, but only discuss the weakest posthumous law in the etiquette. The posthumous law is closely related to the ministers, which is the foundation for maintaining the court, but it will not cause any trouble. It will only hit the pain points of the ministers, making them unspeakable, but... this is an unspeakable thing. No matter how painful it is, it will knock down the teeth and swallow it."

Li Xiurong stroked his messy hair behind his ears, listened carefully, and slowly wrote it down, and then said, "What if they impeach?"

"If it is impeachment, it would be great, and it would be known to everyone, and everyone will come and judge."

Li Xiurong said, "But they are well-educated and really want to judge, I'm afraid they are not their opponents."

"They quoted scriptures and the master's wife could crack it in just one sentence."

"Hmm?" Li Xiurong said in surprise: "What do you mean?"

"They said they have selfish intentions and now ask for a posthumous title for Lu Zhen. It is to get a good reputation after his death in the future. Once they use this to crack it, they will have no words. Because no matter how they say it is, they cannot be cut off from their name after death." Wu Yu smiled and continued meaningfully: "After all, people cannot evaluate themselves."

Li Xiurong couldn't help but smile: "You are so smart."

The day was paid, and Li Xiurong and Wu Yu were in the same car and went home together.

Chen Zhengtai was looking forward to it outside the door. When he saw them coming back, he said, "How about the first time he was on duty?"

"It's so wonderful." Wu Yu rushed to say, "My master's wife beat the men and she was beaten up. I heard that the imperial doctor has gone."

Chen Zhengtai: "…"

Li Xiurong smiled calmly: "Husband, don't worry, you can deal with the things in Luan Pavilion."

Chen Zhengtai looked shameless: "I am not worried at all, what should be worried about is someone else."

This is true, Chen Zhengtai did not lie at all.

Perhaps others don’t know, but Chen Zhengtai knew very well that Wu Yu’s political talent was an invincible existence. In a feudal patriarchal society, even though the Tang Dynasty had a lot of tolerance for women, in history, this woman used her own means to suppress all the aristocratic families and countless civil officials and generals, easily controlled them, and even directly created her own dynasty and the people of her reign. With such a person, what are the old foxes in the three provinces now?

Li Xiurong smiled, she thought Chen Zhengtai was just deliberately comforting herself.

But who knew that Chen Zhengtai ignored their affairs in Luan Pavilion. He was indeed as if he was a hand-off manager, as if he was not worried at all.

Li Xiurong just realized that Chen Zhengtai’s words were true.

………

At this time, in the palace.

Zhang Qian hurried to Ziwei Palace, and then whispered in Li Shimin's ear.

Li Shimin looked up at Zhang Qian in surprise and said, "Is that true?"

"Yes, Your Majesty." Zhang Qian replied honestly: "Now the three provinces have been in chaos. Will Your Majesty intervene?"

"What are you intervening?" Li Shimin smiled and said, "I just didn't expect that Xiurong was so straightforward to attack the snake and hit Qi'an! I was still thinking about letting her temper for several years, but I didn't expect that this time was so hard. It was indeed worthy of being my daughter, which looked very similar to me."

Li Shimin showed a look of relief.

What he was afraid of was that these important officials were difficult to control.

These are all founding heroes who have experienced troubled times, and they are the talented people he personally selected. It can be said that none of them are easy-to-eat. If anyone picks them out, they are all fearful people.

What Li Shimin was worried about was that he was still there, so of course he could control them, but if he was gone, Li Chengqian's character would be too rash. The prince had expertise in understanding the sufferings of the people and could control his ministers. He was afraid that in the face of these countless meritorious ministers, the tenth of them would be taken into the ditch by them.

This is also the reason why Li Shimin decided to let the steady Princess Sui'an give it a try.

Li Shimin even planned to teach her well, and be prepared to let Li Xiurong suffer some losses, and then slowly teach her the psychological preparation to get started.

But I didn’t know that Li Xiurong had a mess of punches on the first day of duty.

Li Shimin smiled and said, "I'm just watching the fun."

Zhang Qian smiled dryly and said, "Mr. Cen called the imperial doctor, but fortunately, there was nothing big about it. After taking some medicine, it slowly relieved."

Li Shimin sighed and said, "I really have no future. Isn't my health successful now? Shouldn't this minister be the one who collapsed before the mountain of Tai and remained unchanged and was not surprised when there was a big change?"

"I just feel sorry for the Lu family. I'm still waiting for the decree. If the decree is not released, it will be difficult to bury it. I don't know how to write the epitaph. Now the family is in a mess and asking for information everywhere."

Li Shimin sighed: "It's really pitiful. Lu Qing had no mistakes during his lifetime."

"Then what Your Majesty means..."

Li Shimin continued: "Ko Xiurong is right, he did not make any contributions during his lifetime."

Zhang Qian coughed and said, "Then what Your Majesty means..."

Li Shimin said, "Didn't I say that? I'll take a good look! Xiurong made me look at her with admiration. Seeing her like this, I need to observe it carefully."

…………

The next day, Li Xiurong entered the palace and arrived at Luan Pavilion.

Soon, a eunuch sent another stack of memorials, so she became serious and watched each one.

Sometimes when I don’t understand something, I ask Wu Zi, who can always say one, two, three, and four.
