"It was windy and rainy last night. It's easy to get sick in this kind of weather. Mr. Ge, please take care of yourself."
Straight to the point, Li Chen sent a signal of goodwill in the first sentence.
Zhao Xuanji cupped his hands and said: "I am still in good health. Thank you for your concern, Your Highness. I just heard that Your Highness's voice was nasal, but you are infected with the cold?"
Li Chen glanced at the empty tea cup and said: "I got caught in the rain last night and did catch a cold. However, I have called the imperial doctor to see it. It is not serious. I will be fine after drinking a few patches of medicine."
Zhao Xuanji stood up, poured tea for Li Chen himself, and said: "Your Highness now controls the secrets of state affairs, and all major national affairs need to be managed by Your Highness. Therefore, whether it is for the country, the country, the people, or Your Highness himself, you must take good care of yourself."
That’s it.”
Master the secrets of state affairs, and all major national affairs need to be managed by His Highness.
Keenly grasping the information revealed in this sentence, Li Chen took the hot teacup, lowered his head and blew away the tea leaves floating on the tea soup, and chuckled: "Isn't there Mr. Ge here? There are many government affairs in the court, and there are still many needs."
It is only with the help of an experienced humerus minister like Mr. Ge."
"Old minister Laola."
Zhao Xuanji said calmly: "I am getting older, and my energy is not as good as before, so I want to give His Highness some slack. There are many things that the veteran can't really control. Fortunately, Your Highness is young and energetic, so I think there should be no problem.
"
It seemed like an ordinary chat, but one of them was the prince of the East Palace and the other was the chief minister of the cabinet. Every word they said was witty and they were careful every step of the way.
After this conversation, the core lies in two words: power.
They are each expressing their opinions, but they are all careful and want to know whether the other is sincere or testing.
Li Chen smiled, put down the tea cup, and said to Zhao Xuanji: "Although my father woke up for a moment last night and left some words, he passed out again. The government affairs of the court are still heavy at the moment. It is not appropriate for Mr. Ge to take leave at this time.
kind."
Zhao Xuanji stared into Li Chen's eyes and asked with a smile: "Then in your Highness' opinion, what should the veteran do?"
Li Chen clasped his fingers on the table and said in a nonchalant manner: "Last night, I asked the Jin Yiwei to arrest a large number of people."
Zhao Xuanji said expressionlessly: "Since His Highness thinks they should be arrested, then there is a reason why they should be arrested."
"So Ge always agreed?" Li Chen asked.
Zhao Xuanji asked back: "Is there anyone the veteran knows? Maybe there is some misunderstanding. If the veteran knows him, he can also tell His Highness what his character is like. Is there anything that needs to be discussed?"
"Nothing."
Li Chen said calmly: "It's just some subordinate officials below. Although there are many people, they can't affect the overall situation, and there are no people who are known to the elders. I believe that those who can join the elders are all people of good character. They will definitely not
Corruption and perversion of the law.”
Zhao Xuanji asked this question to determine where Li Chen planned to control the scope of the liquidation.
Now after receiving Li Chen's promise that "no one knows the cabinet minister," Zhao Xuanji knew that Zhang Biwu and Fu Yuzhi in the cabinet would most likely not be included in the liquidation scope.
He nodded and said, "That's very good. Thank you for your understanding, Your Highness."
'Your Highness, Zhao Xuanji is just a hungry dog, but if this hungry dog can't even eat the poisonous bones, then it will lose its mind and become a mad dog.'
With Sanbao's advice before his death lingering in his mind, Li Chen's eyes were as calm as the abyss, and he said: "Master Fu has both political integrity and talent. I intend to let him take up the vacant post of Minister of Rites. What do you think?"
