"One step for mountains, one step for water..." Li Xingchen murmured a poem and walked through the corridor with his hands behind his hands.
Yang Su's momentary loss of consciousness just now allowed Li Xingchen to guess what this famous hero in history was thinking.
After all, he is an old fox, and it is unrealistic to have no ideas of his own.
Li Xingchen cannot expect that all his ministers will be his most loyal supporters, and that they will do whatever he says without any hesitation.
In fact, people like Xiao Shilian and Pei Zilie are in the minority in the court. After all, everyone has their own family and career. It is impossible for everyone to obey His Majesty's words, and it is impossible for everyone to serve the public good.
In fact, Pei Zilie and Xiao Shilian look like two incarnations of His Majesty. Isn't it because their personal and family interests are firmly tied to the big man? It is inevitable to advance and retreat with Li Xingchen.
And more people are still like Yang Su. Although they are loyal and capable, they still have some thoughts that they are not good enough for outsiders. These thoughts may be to question Li Xinchen's decision, or maybe to try to figure out Li Xinchen's thoughts.
Li Xingchen didn't care.
As long as the starting point is good, what does it matter if he says it clearly? Failure to do so will give Li Xingchen a good reputation for accepting advice with an open mind.
The emperor who lets his spit spit into his face is a good emperor. You don’t have to listen, but you have to let others spit on you.
Li Xingchen walked through the corridor, looked at the bright lights in the palace in front of him, took a deep breath, and climbed up the stairs.
The palace maids and chamberlains had already received the notice and all saluted.
This is the main hall where the inner government works. Beyond the outer palace wall is the office residence of various agencies of the inner government in Beijing.
Lechang and Yuchizhen were dealing with many affairs in the northwest and Hexi. When they saw Li Xingchen coming in, they hurriedly stood up and saluted.
Li Xingchen smiled and pressed his hand, asking them to sit down.
It was late at night, and there were no outsiders in the palace. Of course, the male officials of the inner palace would not come to see the concubines at night. The people here were also female officials, such as Yang Lihua and Kong Wangxian, whom Li Xingchen had not seen for a long time.
"What do you want to see your Majesty here?" Lechang smiled and welcomed Li Xinchen to his seat.
Of course, Lechang was in charge of the affairs of the inner palace, so Lechang sat on the main seat. Behind the main seat, there was an empty dragon chair, which was naturally prepared for Li Xingchen. It showed that although His Majesty was not in charge
Although he is responsible for the work of the inner government, he is still the true master of the inner government, not an outsider, so he will always have his place in the inner government.
Otherwise, if it were any other department, the chief officer should give up his seat so that His Majesty could sit in the middle.
"Come to pick up the queen from get off work." Li Xingchen said matter-of-factly.
This time it was Lechang's turn to be surprised, and he couldn't help laughing and said: "Are you going from one palace to another?"
It wasn't a long road in total, and it seemed like Lechang didn't know how to walk it himself.
Li Xingchen nodded solemnly: "Isn't this the attitude we need? Let's just make do with the process. How about I take you for a spin in the city and pretend it's a long way?"
This time Yu Chizhen and others also laughed.
Your Majesty always looks so funny and cynical in front of everyone.
"Then your Majesty, please wait a moment. I still have a few things to explain to Sister Yuchi." Lechang said directly, speeding up what he was doing.
Although they are an old couple, how could Lechang not be moved when His Majesty personally came to pick him up from get off work?
Nothing could better represent his status in Li Xingchen's heart than this unique treatment. You can tell by looking at the envious looks on the sisters next to him.
Yu Chizhen couldn't help but stick out her tongue. Just when she was about to learn from Chen Xuanhua and make a few remarks, Li Xingchen, who noticed her little move, said first: "Secretary, you are not good."
Yuchizhen shook his head and sat upright.
This time it was Lechang's turn to laugh.
Yu Chizhen had just told herself how Li Xingchen bullied her. When he said it, one of them gritted his teeth and the other was filled with righteous indignation. He wished he could die with His Majesty today.
But Li Xingchen only said a few words, and Yuchizhen became serious.
"Your Majesty, don't bully sister Zhen'er." Lechang glanced at Li Xingchen.
While Yuchi Chifan was away, Lechang still had to stand up for Yuchizhen. Although she knew that Li Xinchen and Yuchizhen were obviously flirting with each other, she had to have an attitude.
In this way, Yuchi Chifan will also take care of Chen Xuanhua when he is away from home.
Li Xingchen had obviously expected that Lechang would say this, and immediately replied in a calm manner: "I originally planned to bully Zhen'er tonight, so why don't the Queen do it for me?"
Anyway, all the female officials around him had more than one affair with Li Xingchen, so it wasn't a big deal to say this.
Kong Wangxian and Yang Lihua couldn't help but smile. They hadn't seen each other for a long time, and His Majesty was still the same. In front of so many people, he was able to tease the Queen with ease.
Lechang's pretty face inevitably turned red. He couldn't help but snorted, turned his head away, and continued talking to Yuchizhen about the construction of the Hexi Charity Hall.
Li Xingchen was disappointed, but he was not angry. He just gently stretched his hand behind Lechang... and held Yang Lihua's hand.
Yang Lihua obviously did not expect that His Majesty would actually move things under the eyes of the Queen. She immediately shook slightly and her body became a little stiff.
Just hold it.
Feeling Yang Lihua's jade hand was slightly cold, Li Xingchen also knew that she was nervous. He immediately let go of his hand and gently slid it down along the dress. He pressed forward slightly and touched her thigh.
Yang Lihua glanced at Li Xingchen, her eyes moved, as if she was a little shy, but also a little charming, and she wanted to stop talking.
This man is affectionate and righteous, "good at martial arts" and doesn't have the airs of an emperor. It's impossible to say he doesn't like him.
Lechang probably noticed something was wrong and turned his head slightly.
"Hey." Yang Lihua could no longer stand and almost fell into Li Xingchen's arms.
Li Xingchen looked at Lechang with an innocent face, but his hands did not stop.
"There is a bed in the back." Lechang said angrily, "One hour."
Li Xingchen smiled, picked up Yang Lihua, and winked at Kong Wangxian. Kong Wangxian was overjoyed and hurriedly followed.
She was standing on the other side of Li Xinchen just now, but she saw with her own eyes what Li Xinchen did.
My heart has already been scratching my head.
Lechang looked at the little girl in front of him who was covering his eyes with his hands, but the gap between her fingers was large, clearly peeking at Li Xingchen's back, and he couldn't help but sigh.
My own men are very harmful to others.
But now I can only turn my attention to work first, and after finishing these things, I can find this guy out.
"It's easier to say in Hexi," Lechang said faster, "The key is Fuqi City. The Murong clan has been entrenched in Fuqi City for a long time. If they want to occupy Fuqi City as soon as possible, they need the inner government to keep up with the army.
The army will enter the city on the front foot, and our academies and hospitals will be built on the back foot."
