"Your Majesty! I want to retire and return to my hometown!"
"Lord Wei! Zhen forbids you from leaving!"
Love is deep and misty in the rain, how many towers in the misty rain.
He remembered that time when they were so close, the carriages were like flowing water and the horses were like dragons.
Even though the wind was strong and the beauty was like a jade sword.
Wei Zheng raised his eyebrows and Li Shimin's heart skipped a beat.
As expected, Wei Zheng, this old troll, was cheating.
What should have come had finally come. The deeper the love, the more ruthless the scolding!
Wei Zheng started to curse.
"Since Your Majesty doesn't allow me to leave, then as long as I'm an official, I have to speak out impartially!”
"Your Majesty, you are the ruler of a country. May I ask how many days Your Majesty has been in the palace recently?”
"General Li Jing is still leading his army on a campaign, and the Great Tang is suffering from famine. All the memorials of the officials of the Imperial Court require Your Majesty's approval.”
"But Your Majesty? You secretly left the palace!"
"Which matter of the Imperial Court, big or small, does not require your decision?”
"You run out of the palace all day, and I can't find you every two or three days! Don't you feel ashamed that the three provinces and six ministries are so busy?”
Uh.
Li Shimin thought for a moment. He had indeed been out of the palace a lot recently, and the court affairs had been delayed a lot.
But it's not like I didn't do anything. Didn't I solve the problem of gathering food? Didn't I go to inquire about movable type printing?
This was something that would benefit the Great Tang!
Li Shimin was not convinced, but he could not say anything. After all, Wei Zheng was telling the truth.
Wei Zheng saw that Li Shimin was speechless and became even more interested. He shook his clothes.
"Your Majesty doesn't mind that I'm a surrendered subject and even entrusted me with such an important task. I'm extremely grateful."”
"Precisely because of this, as the head of the Imperial Censorate, I should do my best. I can't let Your Majesty do nothing. If Your Majesty doesn't do anything, it's my fault!”
"I also heard that His Majesty actually allowed Lord Du to use people only by his relatives and actually wanted to appoint a merchant as an official!”
"What a joke!"
Li Shimin was so angry that his face turned red. Wei Zheng, you are trying to mock me.
It's fine if you're mocking me, but you're also mocking my son.
Do you know that even a hundred of you, Wei Zheng, can't compare to my son?
Damn it.
Every time I talk to an old man like you, it makes me angry.
It's not like I didn't do anything. Your words make me sound like I'm about to become a fatuous ruler.
"Lord Wei, what do you want me to do?"”
Wei Zheng said righteously," Now that the Great Tang has suffered disasters year after year, I would like to ask Your Majesty to write an edict of self-reproach and announce it to the world.”
"This way, we can appease the people and encourage the officials to work together to fight the disaster!”
"Wei Zheng, you've gone too far!" Li Shimin shouted angrily.”
"Although Zhen has been neglecting court matters these few days, Zhen did not only care about having fun. That method to raise food was found by Zhen when he left the palace!”
Wei Zheng did not care and said bluntly,"Your Majesty, please start writing!"”
Li Shiming was about to explode in anger. Just as he was about to argue, he suddenly touched the object on his waist.
His expression immediately softened.
Fine, isn't it an edict of self-sin?
Can't I write it?
You like to give me lessons, right? I'll give you a lesson today!
Li Shi Min pretended to calm down and forced a smile."Lord Wei is indeed my mirror.”
"These words made Zhen completely understand.”
"Zhen will write it."
Wei Zheng was pleasantly surprised when he received an affirmative reply.
Let's see what it means to dare to speak out.
The emperor really understood his good intentions!
About two hours later, Wei Zheng looked at the Thousand Character Self-Condemning Edict with satisfaction.
The more he looked, the more his expression became strange.
What the f * ck?
On this edict, Li Shimin deeply reflected on his own mistakes and even belittled himself as useless and only cared about having fun.
He looked like a fatuous ruler.
Wei Zheng was dumbfounded. What was going on?
Did the imperial seal hit His Majesty on the head and hurt him?
Li Shimin looked at Wei Zheng and said,"This one has already written the edict, but it will only be written once.”
"Keep it well. Tomorrow, you will personally announce it in the imperial court.”
"Don't lose it."
Wei Zheng carefully put away the edict of self-accusation.
He puffed out his chest and promised,"Your Majesty, don't worry. Even if I lose my head, I won't lose this edict."”
Li Shimin smiled at Wei Zheng and said with relief,"As expected of my bright mirror. Lord Wei, I am proud of you!”
After a round of bragging, Wei Zheng left in satisfaction.
Li Shiming looked at the empty porcelain bottle and sighed." Ba 'er, please don't harm me."”
Not long after Wei Zheng left, Du Ruhui hurried over.
It would have been fine if he hadn't seen Du Ruhui, but the moment he did, Li Shimin was even more furious.
"Du, tell me, how did Wei Zheng, this old man, know that I was going to appoint Ba 'er as an official?”
"This old man grabbed the matter of Zhen leaving the palace and scolded me fiercely. He even took the opportunity to use Ba 'er's matter to scold me.”
"Du Ruhui, oh Du Ruhui, why didn't I know that you, old brat, had such a big mouth?”
Du Ruhui was puzzled.
Didn't he just show off to Wei Zheng and recruit a talent?
Why did he make His Majesty so angry?
Du Ruhui awkwardly touched his nose and smiled bitterly."Isn't this official trying to help Young Master Li become famous? I told you I found a talented person who was full of poetry and books.”
"Isn't this official doing this for Young Master Li?”
"Besides, isn't Your Majesty indeed a little more diligent in leaving the palace?”
Li Shi Min wasn't really angry. He and Du Fang had long been on good terms, so he didn't have much scruples when he spoke in private.
He waved his hand and said helplessly,"Forget it, I won't argue with you."”
"What did Ba 'er say?"
At the mention of this, Du Ruhui felt strange in his heart. Just now, at Young Master Li's place, he had said all sorts of good things, but that kid just stuck his neck out and refused.
How could there be such a thing in the world?
"Ba 'er doesn't want to be an official?" Li Shimin frowned and asked after hearing Du Ruhui's words.
"Is this Ba 'er's intention?"
Du Ruhui nodded." Of course I don't dare to joke. Young Master Li is the most talented in Chang 'an. I can't wait for him to work in the Ministry of Personnel."”
"But he was unwilling no matter what. He kept asking me when Your Majesty would reward him with gold, silver, and treasures.”
Du Ruhui didn't know whether to laugh or cry at the mention of this. In the little Young Master Li's residence for more than an hour, that brat had been beating around the bush and couldn't stop talking about the reward.
It was because of this that Du Ruhui found an excuse to escape.
Li Shi Min didn't know whether to laugh or cry after hearing this. Who exactly did this kid take after?
Is the position of the Great Tang so unsightly that it's not even worth a pile of gold and silver?
Li Shiming thought for a moment and said seriously,"Then according to my decree, I will reward Ba 'er with 100 taels of gold, 2,000 taels of silver, cattle, and clothes."
"That kid looks like a lazy bone. If you reward him with a cow, who knows if this kid will be greedy one day and find an excuse to eat it.
Even though he said so, Du Ruhui had a difficult expression on his face and said with difficulty,"Your Majesty, the treasury doesn't have enough silver.”
Li Shiming frowned and said,"Even if it's not enough, I can still take out this little."”
Du Ruhui shook his head." It's difficult. Chang 'an isn't the only place affected this time. There are also disasters of different degrees in other places. We still have to buy food to relieve the people."”
Du Ruhui had been in charge of raising food recently, so he naturally had some understanding of the money in the national treasury.
Li Shi Min sighed helplessly. He didn't know this, but he didn't expect that the national treasury couldn't even take out this little bit of silver.
However, this Ba 'er indeed deserved to be rewarded. As a father, he naturally wanted Ba' er to live a better life.
Du Ruhui saw that the Emperor was worried and carefully probed,""Cough cough, Your Majesty, isn't there still 3000 taels of silver in the forest?”
"Why don't you take out some rewards in batches?”
The Jasper Forest Treasury was actually Li Shiming's private treasury.
Li Shi Min: "???"
You old man said you have no money, but you are only thinking about my silver?
Li Shimin glared at Du Ruhui, who quickly cried out,"Your Majesty, the national treasury is really out of money.”
Li Shiming's face was full of anger. What the hell was this?
One forced me to write an edict of self-sin, and the other stared at the silver in my pocket.
This emperor is really aggrieved!
