After sending away the Three Treasures, Li Chen came out of Xi Zheng Palace and returned to Baihua Palace.
At this moment, Zhao Ruiben has rested.
But after learning that the prince had arrived, she immediately got up and got out of bed, waiting for Li Chen to undress.
"I heard from the people below that you went to see your mother again today?" Li Chen asked casually.
Zhao Rui said softly: "My mother has just arrived here and is not familiar with everything in the capital. In addition, my father is now out of the city to take care of the victims, so there is no one who knows and cares about me who can talk to me, so I went there."
trip."
Nodding, Li Chen said: "As a child, you should have such filial piety. You can go there another day and pick out some gifts from the warehouse to take with you. It is my heartfelt wish."
The corners of Zhao Rui's mouth turned up, and she said happily: "I would like to thank Your Highness on behalf of my mother."
"In the past few days, your father has done a very good job outside. The Japanese Palace can receive news every day. The temporary camp for victims outside is managed in an orderly manner by him. Even Xu Changqing from the Ministry of Revenue praised your father for his great talent.
, actually came up with a way to take the victims to the big city in southern Zhili to clear the snow and collect firewood for the government to earn daily necessities, which actually saved the Ministry of Household Affairs a lot of money."
Zhao Rui was even more elated when she heard this. She said softly: "My father is a down-to-earth and diligent official. He always said that the people should take care of themselves and be self-disciplined. The role of the government should be to assist rather than completely restrict and manage...
"
Speaking of this, Zhao Rui was shocked to realize that her words were too harsh, and hurriedly said: "Your Highness, I made a mistake."
"It doesn't matter."
Li Chen smiled and said: "Your father's way of becoming an official has some merits."
Service-oriented government, isn’t this a concept for future generations?
Li Chen didn't expect that Zhao Heshan had such foresight.
It's just that this concept was still ahead of its time in the feudal era. It doesn't mean that everything is ahead of its time. The historical process is a step-by-step process. If we talk about service-oriented government at this time, we feel that we are not dying fast enough.
It's no wonder that Zhao Heshan has been suppressed for so many years. Zhao Xuanji's suppression is on the one hand, and his ideas are too naive on the other.
Although Li Chen said it was okay, Zhao Rui did not dare to continue on this topic because she was not sure what Li Chen's true thoughts were.
"Is Your Highness hungry? Can I make some midnight snacks for Your Highness?" Zhao Rui asked.
"What's for midnight snack?"
Li Chen picked up Zhao Rui and said with a smile: "Wouldn't it be better to eat you?"
"Your Highness..."
Half a month later, the second morning meeting was notified to the houses of various officials in the capital late that night.
It was just this first experience. Looking at the indifferent expressions of the imperial guards, the officials were all calm, and no one was stupid enough to refuse.
Therefore, the second morning meeting was held smoothly the next morning.
In the Hall of Supreme Harmony, when Li Chen, wearing the crown prince's uniform, appeared next to the dragon chair, the ministers shouted: "Your Highness, the prince is a thousand years old, a thousand years old, a thousand years old."
"Everyone, please excuse me."
Li Chen waved his hand and said calmly.
When the ministers all stood in their respective positions, Li Chen glanced at everyone present and said slowly: "Today's morning meeting, there are three things to discuss."
Li Chen's words made the ministers concentrate.
The prince refuses to hold the morning court easily. Once he does, there must be something important.
Just think about what happened during the first morning meeting.
I'm afraid none of these three things is simple.
"The first thing is that I hosted a banquet for the Korean envoys last night and got a sword named Daliang Longque."
