It is actually difficult to be an emperor, and it is even more difficult to be a diligent emperor.
The old emperor is very diligent about political affairs, so his health is getting worse every day. Her Royal Highness is a rare young master in the world. She has only experienced the empress mode for a while, and she is exhausted like this.
There are many factors.
It is the first time that she has such power in her hands, and she is not used to it yet. She doesn't know how to use it. One is that some people in the court are deliberately embarrassing, and all big and small things are played. They really couldn't solve the problems they encountered, so they played them all up. With her serious temperament, it was impossible to pretend that they hadn't seen them.
If things go on like this, even Iron Man can't hold on.
Li Yi lay on the grass, put his hands behind his head, adjusted a comfortable posture, and said, "It won't work like this."
Li Mingzhu turned her head slightly and looked at him.
"You have to build your own team. There are many things that you don't need to deal with yourself. When all the burdens of a country are overwhelmed, ten 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 it, but the relationship between the three provinces and six ministries is intricate. Who should we choose?"
"Of course you need to know the basics..." Li Yi thought for a while, and said, "Jing Zhaoyin, Dong Wenyun, Dong Zhifu's character and ability, you can trust him, right?"
Li Mingzhu nodded and said: "Master Dong was single-handedly promoted by the emperor. He is an upright and honest official with outstanding achievements. He has his own unique views on court affairs, character and ability, so he is naturally trustworthy."
"Li Mingze, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, what do you think?"
Li Mingzhu looked at him in surprise, and asked, "Isn't Li Mingze your second uncle?"
"You don't avoid enmity by exercising externally, and you don't avoid relatives by exercising internally. Have you heard this sentence?" Li Yi looked at her, and said righteously: "Although he is my second uncle, he is also remarkable in his work as an official. , can be of great use, what do you think?"
"That's true." Li Mingzhu nodded and said, "In this way, Zeng Shichun, the servant of the household department, has always been outstanding. If there is no accident, he is likely to take over the position of the secretary of the household department in the future. How about..."
Li Yi straightened up and sat up, and asked, "Master Qin is still there, why did you find a servant?"
Li Mingzhu explained: "Master Qin wants to be in charge of the entire household department, and he must not leave it lightly. He can only choose from the people below."
"Isn't there another servant?"
"Do you have any grudges with Mr. Zeng?"
"What kind of enmity can we have, Zeng Shichun... has a problem with his character, so let's choose another servant." Li Yi curled his lips and said, "Besides, you don't avoid enemies when you raise them externally, and you don't avoid relatives when you raise them internally. Even if we really have any enmity, it will not affect this matter."
As an outsider, I run to Yangliu Lane all day long, and sometimes I will see him there before it is time to release the office. This kind of person who leaves work early, has no organization and discipline and only thinks about dawdling, can take responsibility. Da Ren
"The other minister of the household department has not made any achievements for many years..." Li Mingzhu nodded and said, "Then, I will think about the candidate for the household department."
Li Yi thought for a while, and said, "Also, what do you think of Luochuan Wang's family?"
"I'll add a word."
Li Xuan, who was lying on the other side of the grass, turned over and said, "The Wang family has always been loyal to the emperor and patriotic, so naturally they can be trusted."
After finishing speaking, he turned over again, "I'm done talking, you continue."
"Needless to say, the Wang family. In addition, one person must be selected from each of the six departments. The Zhongshu, the sect..., these places also have to select some people..."
In line with the principle of not avoiding enmity when exercising externally, and not avoiding relatives when exercising internally, the two of them excluded all the officials of the King of Shu line. The elected officials were either with outstanding abilities, or were originally related to the Princess Mansion and were worthy of trust. , Li Yi went through the names of these people in his mind again, and said again: "There is no problem in the Ministry of Punishment, if you leave it to Liu, by the way, Liu Dayou, the capital commander, is also a rare talent... ”
Li Mingzhu nodded, and said: "Indeed, County Magistrate Liu is very careful, and the academy's affairs are cumbersome, and ordinary people can't handle them. I'll entrust them to him. There shouldn't be any omissions..."
"Ah Choo!"
Liu Dayou, the capital orderer, turned his back and sneezed, then turned his head, rubbed his nose, picked up his chopsticks again, and said to Mrs. Liu, "I'll make some ginger soup for you in a while. I was busy until midnight yesterday. I'm afraid It's because of the wind and cold..."
Mrs. Liu glanced at him, and said in a resentful tone, "You know you're busy until midnight..."
"Ahem..."
County magistrate Liu coughed twice, meaning that the child is still there, so don't talk about these things.
When I was preparing to pick up the dishes, I saw the daughter sitting opposite looked at him for a while, looked at her mother for a while, and looked at her brother for a while, and finally took out the small mirror bought for tens of taels of silver from her arms , took a picture for a while, murmured and didn't know what he was talking about.
County Magistrate Liu frowned, knocked on the table, and asked, "If you don't have a good meal, what are you talking about alone?"
After arriving in the capital, he disciplined his children very strictly. Fortunately, neither of them disappointed him. His son was in the college and his grades were pretty good, and his daughter was at the top of the women's college, so his tone of lecture at the moment was not too harsh. .
The girl said with a smile: "Hee hee, both father and mother have single eyelids, my brother and I also have single eyelids, both of us were born by father and mother..."
County Magistrate Liu was stunned for a moment, then said with a sullen face: "Single eyelids, double eyelids, what nonsense, how could you and brother not be born by parents?"
"That's what I said in the 'Science' class..." The girl said a little braggingly: "Mr. Xiao Qin said that if both parents have single eyelids, the child born will also have single eyelids. My children don't distinguish between red and green... "
"Nonsense." County Magistrate Liu took a bite of his meal and said, "Prince Cheng and Concubine Cheng don't argue between red and green, so the little princess can still tell clearly..."
The reason why he is so clear about this matter is because a scandal happened in Prince Cheng's mansion two days ago, and there was a lot of discussion in the capital.
I don't know why, King Cheng, who has always been known for his honesty, actually made a move on Princess Cheng in the mansion, and drove her back to her natal family. He also heard some rumors, saying, saying—that King Cheng's daughter was not his own. of.
"The princess dropped out of school two days ago..." the girl looked at him, stuck out her tongue, and said in a low voice, "I don't know why she dropped out of school suddenly. I am in the academy, and there is one less person to talk to..."
County magistrate Liu was stunned for a moment, then waved his hand again, and said, "Even if you don't distinguish between red and green..., it's true, single eyelids and double eyelids have nothing to do with whether they are biological or not, it's just nonsense, don't believe it , Dad will give you an example, then..."
Speaking of a certain place, 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, the child may have single eyelids, and if parents have single eyelids, it is impossible for a child to have double eyelids unless..."
"Unless, unless..."
County Magistrate Liu's face was pale, trembling all over, the bowl in his hand fell to the ground and shattered, but he ignored it, slumped on the chair, and murmured: "Impossible, this is impossible..."
"Master, master, what's the matter with you?"
Seeing this scene, Mrs. Liu turned pale with fright, stood up hastily, and said loudly: "Quick, hurry, go and call the doctor, the master may have suffered a stroke!"
County Magistrate Liu got up from the chair with a grunt, looked at his daughter, and asked, "All the students in your women's college know about this?"
"That's not true, none of them are willing to take science courses, just us..." The girl said with some regret: "Mr. Listen, she won't talk anymore..."
County Magistrate Liu has already sat back in his chair, his face is a little better than before, but he still can't help murmuring, "This is impossible, this is impossible..."
