Empress Zhangsun is worthy of being the mother of a country.
Her tone was calm and gentle, giving people a very comfortable and irresistible feeling.
"Chu Qiu's slap landed on Lizhi's face and hurt ChenQie's heart.”
"Her slap woke ChenQie up. What we're doing now might not give Lizhi happiness, but rather ruin her. We've never heard her true thoughts about her marriage…"
"ChenQie is too incompetent as a mother…"
Of course, she didn't dare to say that Li Shi Min's father was incompetent, so she could only say that to herself.
Although Li Shimin was poisoned and bedridden.
However, his intelligence was not affected.
He quickly understood the hidden meaning behind Empress Zhangsun's words.
Li Shi Min rolled his eyes and snorted,"Are you saying that I have to thank him for beating up my daughter?!”
"ChenQie did not have such intentions, but…"
" Hehe," Empress Zhangsun was interrupted by Li Shimin before she could finish her sentence." Empress is quite nice to that guy. He has indeed played me well. Haha, not only my children and the officials in the court can't tell the truth, I'm afraid that after a while, even the Empress won't be able to tell the truth…"
As he said this, countless images appeared in Li Shiming's mind.
The scene of Chu Qiu and Empress Zhangsun together.
The more he thought about it, the sharper his gaze became.
No matter what, Li Shi Min had already made up his mind that the day he recovered would be the day he killed Chu Qiu.
The more he thought about it, the more he felt that finding a substitute was a huge mistake.
Empress Zhangsun also noticed the change in Li Shimin's expression.
She looked straight into Li Shiming's eyes and said,
"Your Majesty, you don't have to worry about this. If this person has any improper thoughts towards me, I will definitely kill him personally…"
Li Shi Min shook his eyes and nodded.
A smile appeared on his face as he said,
"Zhen has lost his composure today.”
With the change in the way he addressed Empress Zhangsun, Li Shimin completely let down his guard and slowly said,
"I also understand what is on your mind. If that girl really wants to kill herself for this marriage, then forget it. We can discuss this matter later…"
"Tell me again. These days, what other things did Chu Qiu do under my identity?”
Previously, when he asked Chu Qiu to replace him, it was because of Chu Qiu's performance in the past few years.
To be honest, Li Shimin was still quite relieved.
However, after hearing that he had beaten up Princess Chang Le, Li Shi Min became more and more worried.
She had a feeling that he would do something even more outrageous.
After that, Empress Zhangsun reported to Li Shimin how Chu Qiu berated Cheng Yaojin, changed the morning court session from once a day to once every three days, stipulated that the morning court session would not exceed two hours, forced the officials to eat locusts, and how to deal with the locust plague.
" I feel that if the people of the world knew that Chu Qiu had changed the time of the morning court session without permission, it would have a very bad impact on the image of the Emperor, who has been diligent in government affairs and a wise ruler for many years. It would also damage the dignity of the imperial court…"
"ChenQie feels that the consequences of this matter are extremely serious. I suggest that he be severely punished so that he won't make decisions on his own in the future…"
At this point, Empress Zhangsun's beautiful face actually showed a hint of anger.
Li Shiming's reputation was more important to her than anything else.
She didn't want Chu Qiu to replace Li Shiming in the Great Tang for a few months and leave him with the reputation of a 'fatuous ruler' who didn't attend court.
"Women, even if she's the Empress, she's still a woman. Women were still too short-sighted. They could only see the present and not the long-term.”Li Shiming thought to himself, but a smile had already appeared on his face. After hearing Empress Zhangsun's words, Li Shiming quickly said,
" Guanyin Maid, this is what you don't understand. This is what I think Chu Qiu is smart and intelligent about. Not only did he obtain my body, but he also learned a lot of wisdom and strategies from me…"
Empress Zhangsun was dumbfounded.
Li Shi Min looked at her and saw that she did not understand Chu Qiu's difficulties at all. He smiled and explained,
"Whether you go to court or not has nothing to do with being lazy. The commoners 'evaluation of the imperial court and the emperor was not based on whether they attended the morning court every day, but on the results and what they had done for the commoners. Do you agree with that?"
Empress Zhangsun nodded.
"The current situation is that Zhen is behind the scenes while Chu Qiu is in front of the stage. Zhen has already thought of a solution for all the government affairs. All he needs to do is announce it in the court.!”
"Empress, you have to understand that his role is to be a tool, a puppet, a substitute. From the beginning to the end, he only wanted to temporarily replace me and not let him become me!”
Li Shiming was in high spirits today. Although his wound was still hurting, he didn't feel tired talking.
Li Shiming was motionless on the couch, but his face was full of excitement, and saliva flew out of his mouth.
" If it were like before, he would meet with the officials every day during the morning court assembly. You know how powerful those old thieves in the court are. In less than three days, Chu Qiu's weakness would be seen through by everyone. At that time, everyone would quickly know that the person sitting on the dragon throne was a fake Emperor. Wouldn't that be the biggest joke in the world and become a laughing stock?”
" Chu Qiu made such a decision on the first day of court. It seems like he did it according to his heart, but it's not hard to see how deep his understanding of my teachings is. It's also not hard to see his intelligence, wit, and ability to act according to the situation…Empress,""You're not as good as him in this aspect!!”
Hearing Li Shimin's explanation, Empress Zhangsun was enlightened.
It turned out that Chu Qiu's seemingly lazy decision was actually hiding such deep thinking and schemes behind it!!
Looks like I was wrong about him.
Empress Zhangsun's opinion of Chu Qiu instantly changed from the bottom of her heart.
This person was quick-witted, intelligent, and had the demeanor of an emperor. Thinking about it, he was much better than his sons.
Li Shi Min saw Empress Zhangsun's expression of understanding and smiled,"
"I, Li Shiming, am not someone who can be my substitute just because I want to. Chu Qiu is smart, quick-witted, and appropriate. That's why he can stay by my side for so long. In the future, if you don't understand, you can discuss it with him more. Don't question him too much…If you're not sure, report it to me and I'll make the decision!”
"ChenQie understands!" Empress Zhangsun said respectfully.
"Now, go and get Chu Qiu to come and see zhen. Zhen has something to say to him.”
"Yes!"
