In Yong'an Palace.

The emperor and the empress dowager were chatting.

Although the Empress Dowager was relieved of Li Si, she still hinted slightly during the chat that the emperor could not fully trust a minister.

For the emperor, the most important thing is the technique of weighing the trade-offs.

A certain minister must not be allowed to be free of any constraints.

Otherwise, there may not be any problems in a short period of time.

But over time, it will inevitably cause chaos.

The Tang Dynasty Jiedu system is a bloody example.

When the Jiedu system was first established, which of the first generation of Jiedus rushed to the border was not loyal to the Tang Dynasty?

Under the imperial power, even if they were asked to die, these governors would obey.

But time has passed, decades or hundreds of years have passed.

Under the nourishment of power, which governor would listen to the emperor?

The Empress Dowager wanted to tell the emperor that people's hearts were unpredictable.

No matter how loyal the minister is, who can guarantee that he will still maintain this loyalty in ten or twenty years later.

After holding power, any loyalty will deteriorate.

As an emperor, suspicion and doubt are essential.

As an emperor, I would rather kill ten thousand by mistake than let go of someone who is suspicious and threatens the imperial power.

As an emperor, you should be cruel and ruthless, and even if you are closest relatives, don't show mercy.

While chatting with the Queen Mother, Li Si was drinking the black chicken soup cooked by the Queen Mother himself.

Li Si used the Emperor's Qi refining technique and was in line with the fate of the Tang Dynasty. These so-called black chicken soups did not have any nourishing effect on Li Si at all.

However, Li Si likes this feeling more.

One hour later.

Li Si stood up and looked at the Empress Dowager: "It's almost time, it's time for me to go back."

The empress dowager looked reluctant, but she also knew that the man in front of her was not only her son, but also the emperor of the Tang Dynasty.

"Ai's family sends you to His Majesty."

The Empress Dowager sent the emperor outside the Yong'an Palace before stopping.

The Empress Dowager looked at Li Si's back and sighed.

In the imperial family, although he gained power that others would never get in their lifetime, he also lost too much.

Li Si carried the glory of the Tang Empire on his shoulders.

Every decision of Li Si is related to the future of the Tang Empire.

Since Li Si sat on the dragon throne.

The seven emotions and six desires of ordinary people, joy, sorrow and sacrifice, will never have any connection with Li Si again

This is the emperor!

This is the supreme world!

A trace of sadness appeared in the Queen Mother's heart.

If she had a choice, she would rather Li Si be born in an ordinary family, be carefree, innocent and kind, and enjoy the beauty of the world.

Instead of being as deep as you are now, you are not showing your emotions and your emotions.

Li Si left Yong'an Palace and returned to the Palace of Eternal Life.

Not long after Li Si returned to the Hall of Eternity, the eunuch who was close to him came in to report.

"Report to Your Majesty, Zhang Ju, the chief minister of the cabinet, asked for a visit outside the hall."

"Prince."

Li Si sat upright on the dragon throne and waved his hand.

soon.

Zhang Juzheng quickly walked into the Palace of Eternal Life.

"I have seen Your Majesty."

Zhang Juzheng bowed to the emperor.

After serving as the chief minister of the cabinet, Zhang Juzheng was not considered to be without officials and posts, so he called himself a "subject" in front of the emperor.

"Flat."

Li Si looked at Zhang Juzheng and spoke.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Zhang Juzheng stood up, lowered his head, but still did not dare to look directly at Tianyan.

"Your dear don't have to be restrained here."

Li Si smiled and said.

Zhang Juzheng is no better than other ministers.

Zhang Juzheng is the object that Li Si can absolutely trust.

Zhang Juzheng's loyalty to Li Si will not fade with the passage of time.

"Your Majesty, the king and the ministers care about etiquette."

"As a minister, it is your duty to abide by the etiquette of the king and the minister."

Zhang Juzheng whispered.

Li Si did not continue to say more when he heard this.

Every god and demon summoned by Li Si is true and true. They have their own memory habits and their own beliefs and ideals.

Li Si looked at Zhang Juzheng and asked casually: "What are the difficulties in taking the position of Chief Minister of the Cabinet?"

After hearing this, Zhang Juzheng said respectfully: "Report to Your Majesty, if you don't leave a month, I will definitely implement the assessment standards for the officials in the world, so that the Tang Dynasty's officialdom will be as your Majesty wish."

Li Si nodded slightly.

Li Si never doubted Zhang Juzheng's ability.

"Love, do you have faith?"

Li Si looked at Zhang Juzheng and asked suddenly.

"belief?"

Zhang Juzheng thought for a moment and said, "My belief is to make the Tang Dynasty permanent, make the Tang Dynasty strong, and make the foreign race dare not invade our Tang Dynasty!"

Zhang Juzheng's answer was powerful.

"Dear, do you know, what's outside the Tang Dynasty?"

Li Si asked slowly.

"Outside the Tang Dynasty?"

"Some barbarian land?"

Zhang Juzheng's tone was puzzled.

Li Si shook his head slightly: "The barbarian land is true, but the world outside the Tang Dynasty is much larger than that of the Tang Dynasty."

"North to the Tang Dynasty is an ice field, where the land is vast and countless resources are buried under the ground. To the east of the Tang Dynasty is a vast ocean. Opposite to the ocean is a brand new continent. To the west of the Tang Dynasty is numerous small countries. These small countries are fighting endlessly every day, and to the south of the Tang Dynasty is a group of island communities."

"Love, this world is big."

"And my Tang Dynasty will not only stick to this Central Plains in the future."

For the first time, Li Si expressed his ambitions in front of outsiders.

For Li Si, one day, the entire world will be shrouded under the power of the Tang Empire.

Li Si even had a thought

What he wanted to conquer was not only the world under his feet, but also the real world of heaven and earth

"My ministers are willing to do their best for your Majesty for the rest of your life"

Zhang Juzheng trembled when he heard the emperor's ambition.

"Okay."

"You go down first."

Li Si rubbed his eyebrows and said.
