Li Shimin's obsession with novels has reached the point where he forgets to eat and sleep.
The first thing I do when I wake up every morning is read a novel, and I don't even go to morning until after breakfast.
Then he spent the whole day reading novels besides eating.
I didn't want to sleep until the early hours of the night.
Therefore, his behavior made all officials unhappy.
On this day, when all the civil and military officials arrived at Tai Chi Palace to wait for Li Shimin to appear.
The eunuch came to report.
"His Majesty is ill today, so the morning court meeting has been cancelled. Everything will be handled by the six departments! No one is allowed to enter the palace for non-important matters!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone showed dissatisfaction.
Some people also said: "Is your Majesty trying to imitate King Zhou? You don't want to go to court at all. If this continues, the country will be in chaos!"
"How can a good country be like this!?"
"Let's go meet His Majesty and ask His Majesty not to lose something over small things!"
"Do you know why Your Majesty doesn't go to court?" someone else asked.
But no one knows why Li Shimin didn't go to the morning court.
"I looked for His Majesty that day, but after standing outside for several hours, His Majesty never came to see anyone."
"Then do you know what your Majesty did?"
"This is unknown!"
"I know!"
At this time someone said.
"What is your Majesty doing?" everyone asked.
"Your Majesty has been studying novels recently! He reads a lot of novels every day and doesn't think about going to court!"
Someone said this.
Now everyone understood that Li Shimin was addicted to novels.
At this time, everyone has only one thought in their minds, and that is Hunjun!
How could you not go to court?
If we don’t go to court, how can we manage the country well?
Many major matters need to be discussed.
It's good now that Li Shimin has left all matters to the six departments to handle.
How can those people in the Sixth Department handle it well? There are still some important things that they cannot handle well.
What should we do now?
No one knew what to do.
At this time, someone said: "How about asking Liang Guogong to ask?"
He was referring to Fang Xuanling.
Only he can be close to Li Shimin.
And it's a political matter.
Others, such as Dai Zhou and Duan Lun, were responsible for finance and construction.
This has nothing to do with politics.
"I think it will work, but I don't know if the Duke is willing to do it?" someone else said.
How could Fang Xuanling refuse?
"At this time, I'll just do it. I'll mention it to the queen first, and let the queen take the initiative to persuade your majesty. Maybe it will be more effective!"
Fang Xuanling said so.
Everyone agreed.
"The Duke of Lao is here!"
"Whatever you say, as human ministers, this is what we should do."
"It's not too late, hurry up!"
"Yes, otherwise there will be too many state affairs, and the people may rebel!"
Some people are also worried about people's rebellion.
Everyone knows this.
If the court fails to act, something like this may happen.
They hope that Li Shimin will take up this responsibility and not lose his ambition by playing with things.
But Li Shimin did this more than once.
"Sure, I'm going to find Her Majesty the Queen now!"
Fang Xuanling immediately left Tai Chi Palace and headed towards Li Zheng Palace.
Here, he went to find Queen Changsun.
And when he arrived at the Queen's palace, he directly communicated with the eunuch there: "Fang Xuanling wishes to see Her Royal Highness the Queen, please inform me!"
"Gong Liang, wait a moment, I will go and report it!"
After the eunuch left.
Not long after, it turned back again.
"My lord, Your Highness the Queen invites you!"
So Fang Xuanling walked into the palace.
When he saw Queen Changsun, he was completely stunned.
Because Queen Changchi and the other concubines were looking down at their phones.
What's going on here.
"I pay my respects to Her Majesty the Queen!"
Fang Xuanling said quickly.
Only then did Queen Changsun raise her head.
"It's Fang Xuanling, what's wrong? Why are you looking for me?"
Queen Changsun put down her phone and asked.
"Your Highness the Queen, I have something to say!"
"you say!"
"Regarding your Majesty's recent absence from the morning court, I would like to ask Her Majesty the Queen to advise you not to let your Majesty neglect state affairs!"
In this regard, Queen Changsun knew what Li Shimin was doing.
The reason why he is like this is because mobile phones are so exciting.
Therefore, she said: "You still have to go find him for this matter. I have gone to him several times, but to no avail!"
Fang Xuanling was so shocked that even the Queen's persuasion was of no use?
Is the novel really that good?
"Your Highness the Queen, this..."
Who knows, all this is because she is watching it herself, and if she were to speak, Li Shimin might not listen to her.
Therefore, since Fang Xuanling is willing to stand up, let’s talk about Fang Xuanling.
That might be better.
When Li Shimin read the novel, everyone opposed it.
But when the harem reads the novel, no one seems to be particularly disgusted. After all, they don't have to run the country, they just need to be beautiful all day long.
But Li Shimin is different. He is the king of a country, and he cannot neglect state affairs because of this.
This is not a good thing for Datang.
Otherwise, why would these ministers be so anxious?
They all hope that Li Shimin can be the same as before. Since he got some new technologies from the Shengtang Group, Li Shimin's use of the imperial court has become less and less.
This is a danger signal.
If Li Shimin continues like this, one day he may no longer care about state affairs. In that case, the entire Tang Dynasty may undergo sudden changes.
This is something no one wants to see.
Therefore, the civil and military officials wanted Fang Xuanling to come over and ask Li Shimin what was going on.
However, Fang Xuanling asked Queen Changsun about the matter, and even the Queen couldn't do anything about it.
What should Fang Xuanling do?
"I have mentioned this matter to His Majesty, but he has his own ideas. Maybe you, as ministers, can mention it again and he may agree. That's not sure."
Queen Changsun finally said this.
It turned out that she had made some efforts herself, and regardless of whether it was true or false, Fang Xuanling had no choice but to agree.
So Fang Xuanling said: "Yes, Your Highness the Queen! I understand."
Finally, he had to agree.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Okay, go quickly, this matter is urgent."
"Yes! Then I will resign!"
Therefore, Fang Xuanling withdrew from Li Zheng Hall.
Empress Changsun picked up her phone again and started reading.
Fang Xuanling had no choice.
I had no choice but to go to Tai Chi Palace.
At this time, Li Shimin was still in the Tai Chi Palace, looking at his mobile phone.
No one dares to say that he is not.
And when Fang Xuanling arrived.
Li Shimin was still reading the novel and didn't care about Fang Xuanling's arrival.
At this time, Fang Xuanling asked: "Your Majesty, could you please listen to me and say a few words?"
Li Shimin then put down his cell phone.
"Fang Xuanling, what's wrong? Why do you have time to come to the palace?"
"Your Majesty, all the civil and military officials are now looking forward to your coming to court. Therefore, I came here to ask why you are not going to go to court. Can you tell me?"
Fang Xuanling asked knowingly.
He knew that Li Shimin was reading a novel, but he didn't dare to ask directly.
So he said this.
"Fang Xuanling, come here and read this novel. It's really good. Take out your phone and I'll input it for you to find a novel that suits you!"
Li Shimin seemed very proactive.
But at this time, Fang Xuanling didn't want to see it.
But he still gave the phone to Li Shimin because the emperor said that he had to do this.
"Your Majesty, do you really read this novel that way? Is it really more important than managing national affairs?" Fang Xuanling asked again.
"What are you talking about? Of course it does! This novel teaches you some things, and you can also learn some strategies for governing the country. I didn't believe it when I had never read the novel before, but after reading it,
I think that’s really good. If you don’t believe me, take a look. Just read Chapter 10 and tell me if it’s true or not!”
Li Shimin said this.
Fang Xuanling thought, let’s take a look.
But who knew that he would be dragged into the trap by Li Shimin at just one look.
Because this novel is so beautiful.
It's so beautiful that it makes people feel that there really are such beautiful things in this world.
"Your Majesty, this..."
"Come, you read it and then talk about it. If you think what I said does not make sense after reading it, then I won't say anything. Everything is as you wish. If you think you can learn something from these novels, then whether these novels can
Proper promotion.”
Fang Xuanling didn't believe this at all.
Because how good can a novel be?
How could it be like this.
So he looked at it with disbelief.
Li Shimin found the novel at this time and handed it to Fang Xuanling.
"Come, look! I still want to read the book. I have read five hundred chapters now. It is the climax. After you finish reading, it looks like you are looking for me!"
"I'm here to watch!" Fang Xuanling said.
"up to you."
So, Li Shimin asked Fang Xuanling to read the novel nearby.
Fang Xuanling read very slowly, reading every paragraph of text very carefully.
He did not believe what Li Shimin said that there were principles for governing the country in the novel.
If you can learn how to govern a country by reading a novel, that would be amazing.
Then who can govern this country?
So Fang Xuanling started to read.
It takes about ten minutes to read one chapter.
These ten chapters will take nearly two hours.
And he spent more than three hours going back and forth.
At this time, in the palace, the ministers were still waiting for Fang Xuanling's return.
But after waiting for so long, Fang Xuanling didn't come back.
So everyone started to quarrel.
"Did Liang Guogong not go?"
"Impossible, he must have gone."
"It's been so long. If you persuade me, you should have results."
"Yeah, it's been so long, there should be results, but he hasn't come back, so I'm afraid there's something wrong with this."
"That's what I see. How about we ask someone to take a look?"
"Okay, can you ask the eunuch to take a look and see where Mr. Liang Guogong is?"
So everyone asked a eunuch to go check it out.
After a while, the eunuch came back.
"Ministers, Mr. Liang Guozheng and His Majesty are studying, and I'm afraid they won't be back soon."
"Study? Study what? Are you reading novels too?"
"Yes!" the eunuch said without any concealment.
At this time everyone was confused.
Fang Xuanling also fell, so who can persuade Li Shimin?
This is something that makes everyone very confused.
If Fang Xuanling can’t do it, who can?
"Did Duke Liang take the initiative to watch it?" someone asked.
"Your Majesty asked him to see it!" the eunuch said.
Now everyone was even more confused.
If this is the case, it will be the same no matter who you let go.
Because everyone dare not disobey Li Shimin.
He is the emperor, and everyone is just a minister.
What to do?
The Tang Dynasty cannot stay like this.
You have to think of a way.
It is impossible for an emperor to ignore state affairs.
No matter how good the novel is, you still have to govern the country. Is the so-called balance between work and rest just that?
"How about we wait a little longer?"
"Wait a minute! Let's see how Liang Guogong's situation is. If he continues to fail, he may be the only one left!"
At this time someone said.
But everyone doesn't understand who he is.
So someone asked: "Who is he? In the court, besides Liang Guogong, there is only General Cheng. But General Cheng is in Turks now and cannot come back, who else can be there?"
"Yes, neither the two great princes can do it. There are not many people who can persuade His Majesty now."
"It's true. In the entire Tang Dynasty, no one can persuade His Majesty!"
…
No one believed that anyone else could persuade Li Shimin.
However, when that person said a name, everyone felt that maybe that was the last possibility.
Because he said: "Mr. Zili!"
These four simple words made everyone quiet down.
Yes, letting Li Min take care of this matter may be the best outcome.
If Li Min is in charge, no matter who it is, they can be treated docilely.
But they were thinking, who can convince Li Min?
After all, Li Min doesn't care about these court affairs.
He doesn't care about this, so who can convince him?
But that is what happened later. Everyone wants to know how Fang Xuanling handled it.
…
It is said that Fang Xuanling was reading a novel at this time.
Li Shimin put down his cell phone and looked at Fang Xuanling.
There was a very satisfied look on his face.
Because Fang Xuanling's serious look has proven everything.
This novel is really good, and he succeeded in seducing Fang Xuanling.
All this is because the novel is so attractive.
After another ten minutes, Fang Xuanling put down her phone.
Li Shimin asked at this time: "How about it, Fang Xuanling, what do you think? Is what is said here very reasonable, and after people read it, they still want to read it!"
Fang Xuanling took a deep breath.
"Yes, Your Majesty, what Your Majesty said is absolutely true, but..."
"That's good. This novel is so wonderful that you can't put it down! No matter who you are, whether they have gone to school or not, they will be amazed by the content in it."
Those who have gone to school can read it themselves, and those who have not gone to school can have others explain it to them.
Because there is no shortage of storytellers in this society. The skills of these storytellers are perfect, and some dubbing actors have even been created. They cooperate with the storytellers to create, and the income they get from this is also good.
"Yes, Your Majesty, but..."
"That's fine. You like it too. What other reasons do you have to persuade me?"
When Li Shimin said this, Fang Xuanling didn't know how to respond.
He also admitted that the book was good-looking, but good-looking is still good to read, and the country still needs to be governed.
"Okay, please step back! I still have to watch for a while!"
In the end, Li Shimin didn't want to talk too much to Fang Xuanling, because his arrival meant that he had stopped reading a lot of novels.
Fang Xuanling had no choice but to withdraw.
When he arrived at the court, everyone was still waiting for him.
