Seeing Wu Feng's confused look, Lao Min and Zhu Zimei didn't understand why the other party would behave like this after seeing the ceremonial procedures for enthroning. It was such a happy event, with thousands of people and hundreds of barbarians coming to the court. His great magnanimity showed off his surroundings, but the other party didn't seem to be as excited and satisfied as expected, but rather hesitant and helpless.
For His Highness, who still considers himself the King of Qin, the laboring people really have nothing to say. Even the Emperor of the Tanghe Empire has announced his abdication, the Tanghe Empire no longer exists, and various political institutions of the Tang Empire have been put into operation. Up, I was planning everything in the name of the Minister of Ceremony of the Tang Empire's Government Affairs Council, but now the principal in front of me is still the prince of the Tanghe Empire. Isn't this a bit funny
"Your Highness, what do you think of this etiquette procedure? Miss Zimei and I have consulted the standard etiquette of the enthronement celebrations of previous generations, and also referred to the royal etiquette of the Central and Western Continent, combined with the national conditions of our Datang Empire, we have formulated this A program book was issued, and the large-scale celebrations were fully launched two days before the ceremony. Everything has been arranged properly. If Your Highness thinks there are no problems, Miss Ziwen and I are ready to implement it accordingly." Lao Min swallowed. The spit, patiently reminded the absent-minded Wu Feng.
"Oh, there's no problem. Let's handle everything according to your opinions. Don't be too extravagant and extravagant. Starting an empire requires a lot of expenses. It's better to be frugal." He said two sentences in a non-committal tone, and continued. Wu Feng himself felt that it was extremely boring. The closer to the ceremony, the more depressed he became. Even Wu Feng himself couldn't figure it out. Now he was a little envious of Cui Wenxiu, who was galloping around the Central Continent. He just sat there all day long. Although the mansion seems to be very beautiful and full of things to do every day, inside it is depressed and boring, far less free than in the past.
Seeing Wu Feng's listless appearance, Lao Min and Zhu Zimei were a little at a loss. He could only nod and agree casually, and Nao Min stood up to leave. Zhu Zimei hesitated and followed suit, but Wu Feng only sent Nao Min away, but left Zhu Zimei behind.
Wu Feng's handsome face flickered in and out under the dancing firelight in the charcoal stove in front of her. Zhu Zimei sat leaning on the side of the charcoal stove and thoughtfully observed this man whose mentality seemed to have changed a lot compared to a few months ago. A man is facing the grand ceremony of enthroning himself as emperor. He also seemed a little confused and hesitant.
"Wufeng, you seem to be in a bad mood. Are you too tired during this period?" Zhu Zhiwen carefully inquired. It turned out that the trace of affection between the two seemed to become more and more unstable with the change of Wu Feng's status. Wu Feng, who had been working hard all day, seemed not to have the same imposing aura as before, but was more tired.
"Well, maybe so. How come I have reached this point, but I feel less excitement and fun, but more responsibility and pressure, Zimei. I am not being hypocritical. How many people have struggled for the position of emperor in the past dynasties? , why is it that when it’s my turn, I don’t have any joy of success in my heart?”
Wu Feng lay in the chair, trying to keep his body in the most comfortable state. The woman in front of him was extremely intelligent, and her grasp of the current situation was precise and clear. Wu Feng had already experienced the other party's wisdom. She was able to successfully protect the interests of the Zhu family, and also win over many neutral forces in the imperial capital to reach compromises with her own side to avoid unnecessary conflicts of interest. It should be said that she was indispensable, especially after Angel left the capital. , many things are relayed through her as a middleman.
"Wufeng, this is probably just a sign of emotional fatigue. I know a psychoanalyst, and he once told me that when a goal they strive for is finally achieved, many people are overjoyed. Crazy, but some people are different. They will feel lost and feel that the things they are fighting for are nothing more than this. They may even feel that the process of their struggle is more exciting and attractive. Maybe you are the latter person. This kind of emotion only requires By relaxing appropriately and redefining new goals based on the actual situation, you can be transferred, and then you will find that your state of mind will regain its former vitality."
What Zhu Zimei said after some thought surprised Wu Feng. After thinking about it carefully for a long time, Wu Feng had to admit that the other person's analysis of the psychology of people and places was very insightful. Isn't the original goal he set to unify the empire? Now that the empire has been unified, what is left is just a formal coronation. It seems that the original goal has been achieved, but the new coordinates have not been completely determined, and those partial or temporary ideas have not yet been fully realized. Gathered into a systematic goal and plan, after the establishment of the Tang Dynasty Empire, where will it go? Where do you want the Datang Empire to go? This clear goal plan has not been formed. Is the lack of coordinates the reason for this? What is the main reason for feeling confused and lost for a period of time
"Thank you, Zimei, your words make sense. Maybe I should adjust my own mentality. I think Zimei is fully qualified to be a psychologist. After analyzing what you said, I feel that I have some problems. The gloomy mind is much brighter." The slightly teasing tone seemed to indicate that Wu Feng's mood was much better. Maybe it was time for him to redo his plan and set a short-term and long-term ideal goal. He might as well set something further and more difficult. , only in that way, it seems that your life will be more interesting.
"If Wu Feng really needs a psychiatrist, I can introduce my friend to Wu Feng. I believe he can help you untie a lot of depressed knots in your heart." Zhu Zimei also smiled brightly, and her bright smile made Wu Feng feel happy. Much better.
"Okay, I'm not really interested in finding a psychiatrist. If Zimei can work part-time as my psychiatrist in addition to the etiquette officer, then I would be very happy." Wu Feng's tone was obviously provocative at this time. His burning gaze also began to wander over the other person's face.
"I'm afraid the psychologist Zimei is not qualified, and the etiquette officer Zimei is also taking over. When you find a suitable candidate, Zimei will leave her post." Zhu Zimei's face turned slightly red, and she turned her face slightly to avoid the other party's fiery gaze. .
Seeing the ambiguous attitude of the other party's avoidance, Wu Feng didn't want to destroy the harmonious atmosphere now. Anyway, there will be opportunities in the future. If you can't appreciate the flowers in your palm, you will really let down Tianen, but the time is not ripe yet. That's it, he changed the topic after thinking: "Okay, let's not talk about Zimei. Let's talk about something else. The atmosphere in the Imperial City seems to be very calm during this period, and Situ Yushuang doesn't seem to jump out to criticize me. I must read her "Beijing Times" almost every day. To be honest, although some views and opinions are different depending on everyone's perspective and understanding of the situation, it should be said that it can at least help me to remind myself that many I sincerely thanked her for pouring cold water on me. I also suggested to the officials in the Government Affairs Council and the Privy Council that they should read the Beijing Times whenever they have nothing to do, and reflect on what they have done from another angle. What we do is also very beneficial to ourselves.”
"Wufeng, do you really think so?" Zhu Zimei was also startled and asked subconsciously.
"Why is it not true? Does Zimei think that I am a duplicitous person, pretending to be tolerant to show my broad mind? No, no, as long as it does not harm the interests of the empire, no matter what her purpose is, speech is free Yes, I appreciate the openness and freedom of the original Tanghe Empire in this regard. Compared with the Western Continent, I feel that the Tanghe Empire has done no worse than the Western Continent in this regard." Wu Feng shook his head and answered with a smile.
"If Wufeng really thinks this way, Zimei will be relieved. Yushuang is a little arrogant and stubborn, but she is definitely not a narrow-minded person, nor is she the kind of person who wants to please others. The Beijing Times may sometimes be a little arrogant in terms of language. It's too much, but in fact it is quite sophisticated. They generally don't send random hair without verification." Zhu Zimei breathed a sigh of relief and patted her bulging chest. She and Situ Yushuang have always had a good relationship. Although They often argue because of their different political opinions, but this does not affect the personal friendship between the two. Moreover, Zhu Zimei can also understand the other's feeling of facing the loss of the country and the loss of the family. Faced with the former ministers who now have to be lonely in front of her, this The feeling of waiting is indeed not that pleasant.
"Zimei, you don't need to soften Situ Yushuang's cheeks. I, Li Wufeng, am not so narrow-minded that I cannot tolerate a woman's different opinions. As long as what Situ Yushuang publishes is reasonable and well-founded, I don't think the press censorship department will Will deliberately make things difficult, not to mention that I personally think that it is a good thing to have an opposition voice like the "Beijing Times" that reminds us to whip us at any time. You can tell Situ Yushuang that I like the current style of the "Beijing Times" very much, but I also want to remind her that the interests of the Tang Empire are above all else. If the press censorship department believes that the news published by the media will harm the national interests, it will naturally ban it. Since it is quite an opposition, it should do a good job in this aspect. I hope she understands that this is not directed at her or the Beijing Times. I personally welcome her to supervise the work of the imperial government departments."
Wu Feng picked up the tongs and gently fiddled with the charcoal in the charcoal stove. He smiled faintly, and the flames rose into the sky, making his cheeks extremely rosy. Zhu Zimei also nodded secretly. It was indeed extraordinary to be able to sit in this position. .
