It is actually difficult to be an emperor, and it is even harder to be a diligent emperor.
The old emperor was very diligent in political affairs, so his health was getting worse day by day. Her Royal Highness the Princess is one of the few young masters in the world. She has only experienced the queen mode for a period of time, and she is now exhausted.
There are many factors involved.
It was the first time she had such power in her hands, and she was not used to it. She didn't know how to use it. The first was that some people in the court deliberately made things difficult for her, and the big and small matters were reported. The second was that she encountered difficulties.
They really couldn't solve the problems they encountered, so they brought them all up. With her serious temperament, it was impossible for her to pretend that she didn't see them.
If things go on like this, even an iron man will not be able to hold on.
Li Yi lay on the grass, put his hands behind his head, adjusted himself to a comfortable position, and said, "This won't work."
Li Mingzhu tilted her head slightly and looked at him.
"You have to build your own team. There are many things that you don't have to deal with personally. If the entire burden of a country is put on you, ten of you or a hundred of you can't bear it."
Li Mingzhu looked at him and said: "It's not that I haven't thought about this, but with three provinces and six ministries, the relationships are complicated. Who should we choose?"
"Of course you have to know the basics..." Li Yi thought for a moment and said, "Jingzhao Yin Dong Wenyun, you should be able to trust the character and ability of Governor Dong Wenyun, right?"
Li Mingzhu nodded and said: "Prefect Dong was promoted by the Emperor Father. He is an upright and upright official with outstanding political achievements. He has his own unique insights into court affairs, his character and ability, so he is naturally trustworthy."
"Li Mingze, Minister of Civil Affairs, what do you think?"
Li Mingzhu glanced at him in surprise and asked, "Isn't Li Mingze your second uncle?"
"Don't avoid enemies when doing external affairs, and don't avoid relatives when doing internal affairs. Have you ever heard of this saying?" Li Yi looked at her and said righteously: "Although he is my second uncle, he is also remarkable in his work as an official.
, it can be of great use, what do you think?”
"That's true." Li Mingzhu nodded and said: "In this case, Zeng Shichun, the Minister of the Ministry of Finance, has always been outstanding in ability. If nothing unexpected happens, he is very likely to take over the position of the Minister of the Ministry of Finance in the future. How about..."
Li Yi straightened up and sat up and asked: "Master Qin of the Ministry of Revenue is still here, why are you looking for a minister?"
Li Mingzhu explained: "Master Qin wants to take charge of the entire household department. He cannot leave lightly. He can only choose from the people below."
"Isn't there also a servant?"
"Do you have any grudge against Mr. Zeng?"
"What kind of grudges can we have? Zeng Shichun... has a character problem, so let's choose another minister." Li Yi curled his lips and said: "Besides, don't avoid enemies in external promotions, and don't avoid relatives in internal promotions.
, even if we really have any grudges, it will not affect this matter."
As an outsider, I run to Yangliu Lane all day long when I have nothing to do. Sometimes I will see him there before it is time to leave the office. This kind of person who leaves early from work, is unorganized and undisciplined and just wants to hang out, can he take on the responsibility?
A great responsibility?
"Another minister of the Ministry of Revenue has made no achievements over the years..." Li Mingzhu nodded and said, "Then, I will consider the candidate for the Ministry of Revenue."
Li Yi thought for a while and said, "Also, Luochuan Wang family, what do you think?"
"Let me interject."
Li Xuan, who was lying on the other side of the grass, turned over and said, "The Wang family has always been loyal and patriotic, so naturally they can be trusted."
After saying that, he turned over and said, "I'm done, you continue."
"Needless to say, the Wang family, in addition, one person must be selected from each of the six departments, Zhongshu, sect..., these places also have to select some people..."
In line with the principle of not avoiding enemies in external promotions and not avoiding relatives in internal promotions, the two people excluded all officials from the King of Shu's line. The selected officials were either outstanding in ability or related to the princess's house and were worthy of trust.
, Li Yi ran through the names of these people in his mind, and then said: "If the Ministry of Punishment is left to Liu, there will be no problem. By the way, Liu Dayou, the capital commander, is also a rare one."
Talent…”
Li Mingzhu nodded and said: "Indeed, Magistrate Liu is very careful. The affairs of the academy are complicated and difficult for ordinary people to handle. I will leave them to him, and there should be no omissions..."
"Ah sneeze!"
The capital ordered Liu Dayou to turn his back and sneeze. Then he turned his head, rubbed his nose, picked up the chopsticks again, and said to Mrs. Liu: "I will make some ginger soup for you later. I was busy until midnight yesterday, so I'm afraid
It’s because of the cold…”
Mrs. Liu glanced at him and said in a resentful tone: "You know how busy you are until midnight..."
"Ahem..."
Magistrate Liu coughed twice, which meant that the child was still there and not to talk about these things.
When I was preparing to pick up the food, I saw my daughter sitting opposite looking at him, her mother, her brother, and finally took out the small mirror that cost dozens of taels of silver from her arms.
, I took pictures to myself for a while, muttering not knowing what I was talking about.
Magistrate Liu frowned, knocked on the table, and asked, "If you don't eat well, what are you talking about in there alone?"
After arriving in Kyoto, he was extremely strict with his children. Fortunately, neither of them let him down. His son was in the math college and his grades were pretty good, and his daughter was among the best in the women's college, so the tone of his lectures at the moment was not too harsh.
.
The girl smiled and said: "Hehe, my father and mother are both single-lidded, and my brother and I are also single-lidded. We are both biological children of our parents..."
Magistrate Liu was stunned for a moment, then said with a stern face: "What nonsense are you talking about, single eyelids, double eyelids? How could you and your brother not be your biological parents?"
"It was mentioned in the science class..." the girl said with some show off: "Mr. Xiao Qin said that if both parents have single eyelids, the child will also have single eyelids. If the parents do not distinguish between red and green, the child will be born with one eyelid.
The children under the bed don’t even know red or green..."
"Nonsense." County Magistrate Liu took a bite of his food and said, "Both Prince Cheng and Princess Cheng can't tell the difference between red and green, so the little princess can still tell the difference clearly..."
The reason why he knew this matter so clearly was because a scandal happened in Prince Cheng's palace two days ago, which caused a lot of discussion in Kyoto.
For some reason, Prince Cheng, who was always known for his honesty, actually made a move on Princess Cheng in the palace and drove her back to her parents' home. He actually heard some rumors, saying, saying------saying about King Cheng
The daughter is not his biological child.
"The little princess dropped out of school two days ago..." The girl looked at him, stuck out her tongue, and whispered: "I don't know why she dropped out of school suddenly. I am missing another person to talk to in the academy..."
Magistrate Liu was stunned for a moment, then waved his hand and said: "Even if we don't distinguish between red and green..., it's really like this. What does it have to do with having double eyelids and whether they are biological or not? It's just nonsense.
If you don’t believe it, daddy will give you an example, then..."
When he said something, Magistrate Liu's body shook violently and his voice stopped abruptly.
"No..." the girl shook her head and said: "Mr. Xiao Qin said that if parents have double eyelids, their children may have single eyelids. If parents have single eyelids, it is impossible for children to have double eyelids, unless..."
"Unless, unless..."
Magistrate Liu's face was pale and his whole body was shaking. The bowl in his hand fell to the ground and shattered into pieces. However, he didn't care at all. He slumped on the chair and murmured: "Impossible, this is impossible..."
"Master, master, what's wrong with you?"
When Mrs. Liu saw this scene, her face turned pale with fright. She stood up in a hurry and shouted: "Quick, quick, go and call the doctor, I'm afraid I have a stroke!"
Magistrate Liu got up from his chair, looked at his daughter, and asked, "Do all the students in your women's college know about this?"
"That's not true. None of them want to take science courses. We are the only ones..." The girl said with some regret: "Mr. Xiao Qin said that these were all said by Li Xianhou, and they were not written in the book. No one
If she is willing to listen, she will not talk about it in the future..."
Magistrate Liu had already sat back in his chair, his face looking slightly better than before, but he still couldn't help but murmured in a low voice, "This is impossible, this is impossible..."
