This is the first time that Li Jun has been admonished since he became the emperor, in desperation, Li Jun had to lay a good burden and go to Taimiao to think, for three whole days, Li Jun can only eat vegetarian, wine and meat can not be touched, three days later, Li Jun came out of Taimiao, lost several pounds.

Xiao Meier and others greeted in front of the Taimiao, Li Jun gave a few instructions to the ministers, and then pulled Xiao Meier to the imperial court, and when it came to the retreat, Li Jun was like a mouse, rummaging around, Xiao Meier glanced at Li Jun and said: "Okay, Your Majesty, don't look for it, this is beef jerky from the west, you first relieve your hunger, and then let the imperial dining room cook a table of good dishes for you when you return to the palace concubine." ”

Li Jun laughed and said, "Haha, Mei'er, who knows me." ”

"Your Majesty, you have to answer the Queen Mother's question in a while, do you want to say it?" Xiao Mei'er asked worriedly.

Li Jun patted his stomach and said with a smile: "Mei'er, do you know what my most intuitive feeling is these days? ”

"Oh, does Your Majesty have a new experience? The concubines listened attentively. Xiao Meier said in surprise.

Li Jun sighed and said: "The teacher told me before, the poorer the better, the more you can eat, I still don't believe it, this time I really believe it, before in the palace, I ate two bowls of this rice and was full, and in the past few days, I will be full after eating four bowls of rice in the Taimiao, do you know why?" ”

"The concubine doesn't know." Xiao Mei'er shook her head and said.

"There is no oil in my stomach, I don't get any meat in the Taimiao, I only eat rice, of course I eat too much, people, I am an omnivore, not only to eat staple food, but also to eat meat and vegetables, all of which are indispensable, but there are many people under my rule who can't even afford to eat rice, and I am a failure as the emperor." Li Jun sighed and said.

Looking at Li Jun's self-reproachful appearance, Xiao Meier held Li Jun's hand and comforted: "Your Majesty, don't worry, it's a long time, we can take our time." ”

Li Jun smiled and nodded, and then fell on Xiao Meier's body, smelling the fragrance on Xiao Meier's body, Li Jun couldn't help but move his index fingers, he didn't touch women these days, and he was choking enough.

When he arrived in the palace, Li Jun went to the Empress Dowager Wei first, and after listening to the Empress Dowager Wei's reprimand, he went directly to Xiao Meier's bedroom.

The next morning, Li Jun got up and stretched, feeling comfortable, in the damp place of Taimiao, he hadn't slept well in the past few days, no, after a while, it seemed that he had to go to Huashan to pull out a fire cup, otherwise the moisture would not be discharged, and he would be uncomfortable.

This time in the court, everyone was a lot more honest, the emperor who had just been admonished by death had a very bad temper and couldn't be provoked, Li Jun just simply said a few nonsense words of "encouraging people's livelihood", and then retired from the dynasty, after retreating, Li Jun left Yuan Zhan alone.

Yuan Zhan first asked for sin: "Your Majesty, the old ministers are not clear in their employment and poor supervision, please forgive your Majesty." ”

Li Jun sighed and said: "Get up, boss, it's my fault this time, I don't blame you, I have also learned a lot this time, first of all, the imperial court must formulate policies comprehensively, and there can be no loopholes, just like this "emergency plan", if I change the food rationed for three months to the disaster victims until the next grain harvest, then there will be no Jiang Zheng's matter, and the second is that I have really slacked off recently, and I always feel that the Tang Dynasty is stable, and there is nothing for me to worry about, so I am also a little addicted to pleasure." ”

Yuan Zhan replied with a smile: "Your Majesty, wealth and lust, human nature, I can't hide it, the old minister also accepted a new concubine last year, as for the new policy, Your Majesty doesn't have to care, no one is perfect, no one is perfect, there is no gold enough, Your Majesty as a policy witness, you don't have to worry, others find a loophole, let's just fill it, I'm afraid that no one dares to point out these loopholes, or someone points it out, but the people in power don't think so, so if it goes on like this, the disaster of the country will not be far away." ”

When Yuan Zhan said this, Li Jun felt a lot more comfortable, but he still asked: "Since this is the case, why did Jiang Zheng die?" ”

Yuan Zhan snorted coldly: "Your Majesty, this is a slippery head, Jiang Zhengming knows that he has made a big mistake, he will be beheaded according to the law, and he will not be allowed to participate in the imperial examination for three generations, but now it is good, he came up with a death advice, he himself is not a pity to die, but he saved his children and grandchildren." ”

After hearing this, Li Jun wanted to scold "shameless", but it was not worth thinking that he was scheming with a dead man, so a thousand words became a long sigh.

Yuan Zhan continued to smile and asked: "Your Majesty, do you want to scold shamelessness, in fact, shamelessness is the norm for officials, the old minister has been stumbling for so many years, and he has also been young and frivolous, he thought that what he did was right, but with the increase of experience, the old minister slowly found that he was refreshing when he was young, but he also did a lot of wrong things, the court is a big mud pond, if you want not to get muddy, unless you learn from Qu Yuan, but think about what contribution Qu Yuan has made to the Chu State?" No, his contribution is not as good as that of the traitorous ministers. ”

Finally someone dared to tell the truth to himself, Li Jun felt very relieved, Li Jun had no doubts about Yuan Zhan's ability and loyalty, but Yuan Zhan had one bad thing, that is, he was too cautious, so Li Jun agreed and disagreed with Yuan Zhan's words.

Li Jun picked up the teacup and said gently: "What Yuan Qing said is very true, I will toast you with tea instead of wine." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Yuan Zhan replied with a flattered look.

Li Jun shook his head and said, "Yuan Qing, what do you think of Zhang An?" Will this person be able to take over the important post of Cabinet Minister? ”

"Your Majesty, Lord Zhang is a capable official and loyal, but his personality is sometimes too impatient, so what is the future? It's hard to say, but the minister has a way to make up for the shortcomings of Lord Zhang. Yuan Zhan said unhurriedly.

"Oh, Aiqing, please?" Li Jun suddenly raised his interest and asked.

"Your Majesty can promote Lu Hang to the second assistant of the cabinet, so that the Legalist faction that does not deal with Lu Hang and others will stand behind Master Zhang again, and with the ability of Legalist Duan Ping, Zhao Yan, Bao Qing and others, they will definitely be able to help Lord Zhang stabilize this position."

Li Jun frowned and continued to ask: "If this is the case, then in the future, wouldn't this cabinet have the final say." ”

Yuan Zhanyin said with a smile: "Your Majesty, it doesn't matter, no one said that you must listen to the advice of the first assistant of the cabinet." ”

After listening to this, Li Jun couldn't help but suddenly realize, Yuan Zhan continued: "Your Majesty, in fact, you are the final decider in this country, as long as you don't make mistakes, it doesn't matter who the first assistant of the cabinet is. ”

Li Jun sighed and said, "Yuan Qing, to be honest, this is very different from the first assistant of the cabinet I imagined, but now is a critical period, and I will not be confused." ”

"Your Majesty is wise."
