The whole empire knows that the Son of Heaven is very busy every day, and almost every issue of the Tang Dynasty newspaper will report what meeting the Son of Heaven held and who he summoned.

And is this true?

Naturally not, Li Xuan is not a robot that does not need to rest, and it is impossible to continue to work continuously at high intensity.

In the early years, when there was no reunification, Li Xuan did not dare to be distracted, and he was busy with government affairs every day, from morning to night, basically without interruption, and sometimes he would lead the army to go to the army in person, and he would go for several months.

And after the reunification, the pressure was not so great, coupled with the gradual improvement of various systems, Li Xuan did not have to grasp everything in his hands as before.

Today, he basically maintains the rhythm of working seven or eight hours a day, with a few days off at intervals, which is roughly the same as the office workers of later generations, working from 9 to 5 with two days off.

However, for an emperor, his work intensity is still a very diligent one among many emperors in history, even if it cannot be compared with workaholics such as Qin Shihuang and Zhu Yuanzhang, but Li Xuan is not far behind.

To a certain extent, in fact, most of the founding emperors or some of the second and third generations of emperors who have experienced the war for hegemony are more diligent, and this is not that they are born workaholics, but they are more aware of the importance of things, know that it is not easy to unify the world, and know more clearly that there are countless people who want to rebel and must always be on guard.

However, except for these founders, second-generation monarchs, third-generation monarchs, or emperors who experienced a resurgence such as rebellions in the middle of the dynasty, most of the other emperors did not have such awareness.

They are blinded by the illusion that they are emperors, that they are born to rule the country, and that everyone else should be subservient, and then hedonism ensues.

This is also an important reason why the vast majority of emperors in history are not good birds!

Strictly speaking, Li Xuan is not the founding emperor of the Tang Empire, he is just a second-generation emperor, and the founding emperor is his son Li Erbi, that is, Emperor Taizu Wu of the Tang Empire.

But almost the entire Tang Empire regarded Li Xuan as the actual founding emperor!

Even if the Tang Empire officially covered up and modified the early history of the empire and touted Lear, there is one thing that cannot be changed, that is, before Li Xuan ascended the throne, the Tang Empire was already about to collapse, and there were only dozens of subjects, and they were still on the run.

It was Li Xuan who led the subjects of the empire to Huangzhushan, and then ushered in the era of Huangzhushan, which is of great significance in the history of the empire!

Although it is important to praise Lear, it is even more important to exalt the Son of Heaven today!

Therefore, the history of Huangzhu Mountain, Xingquanfu and other periods in the early history of the empire is all written in big books!

At the beginning of His Majesty's accession to the throne, he led the army to personally conquer Shuilongzhai and a series of wars, which were all recorded in the official history.

As for the truth or falsehood, to be honest, except for Liu Bagou and a few other parties at that time, no one knows, and the few people who know will be buried in the deepest part of their hearts by these things, because in the early history, it was not only the Holy Son Li Xuan who was beautified, but also Liu Bagou, Qian Mengjiu and other ministers of the Huangzhushan era who were from the dragon, were also beautified.

In this way, no one will stand up and say:

"Who said that I fought hundreds of rounds with the puppet Ming thief army that entered the suppression. This is definitely a rumor, Lao Tzu didn't fight with them at all, and when faced with the encirclement and suppression of the Ming army, I was obviously scared. ”

The truth of the early history, in fact, up to now, few people can say clearly, in a few decades, when the older generation dies, the future generations can only know the official history!

As for the real or fake? Does that matter?

Such an early history also caused Li Xuan's very special status, although he was the second generation of emperors, but no one regarded him as a second generation emperor, they all regarded him as the founding emperor.

As a nominal second-generation emperor and the actual founding emperor, Li Xuan naturally knew very well that even if he unified the whole of China, he still couldn't let go, and the power must be grasped in his hands, otherwise he would also die a miserable death.

After all, the emperor is a very high-risk profession, too long ago not to say, only to say Li Xuan and his father Li Erbi, that is, died at the hands of the Ming army, the Ming Dynasty's Zhengde Emperor was defeated and committed suicide by drinking poisonous wine, Zhengde's eldest son, the last emperor of the Ming Dynasty recognized by the Tang Dynasty, Emperor Shaowu, died of self-immolation on the Jinluan Palace when Youzhou City was breached.

The third son of Zhengde, King Jing was also the emperor in Sichuan, and finally when the Tang Dynasty Wang's soldiers came to the city, he was beheaded by the army under his command as the capital of surrender.

The sixth son of Zhengde, King Hui proclaimed himself emperor in Liaodong, and finally fled to the Goryeo Peninsula.

None of the above-mentioned people died well, regardless of whether they were killed or committed suicide, they all had the same characteristic, that is, they were defeated and died!

When an emperor collapses, his empire collapses, and there is absolutely no possibility of continuing to live, whether it is because others do not let him live or because his inner pride does not allow him to survive.

Being an emperor is so dangerous, Li Xuan is naturally unwilling to let himself become one of the above-mentioned people.

So over the years, Li Xuan is still firmly in power, and this, naturally, it is impossible to make himself really relaxed, even if it is just 9 to 5 and a day off every few days, but year after year, it will also make people tired.

In this way, in fact, the Tang Dynasty newspaper said that Li Xuan was very busy, which is not a lie.

And Li Xuan, who is so busy, his working time is naturally extremely precious, and most of the people who can make Li Xuan squeeze out valuable working time to summon are important ministers of the empire.

Usually there are only a few important ministers from the second rank and above, that is, the level of squire, governor and higher Shangshu level.

Summoning the director, this kind of three-grade official, the same number of times will not be too much!

And when the director of the third product is summoned, he also meets a deputy director of the fourth product, which is even more rare.

However, Xie Yiwei can successfully bring himself into the royal palace with a report, and wait for the Holy Son of Heaven to summon him, to be honest, even if he is in the royal palace now, Chen Lifu still feels a little unreal.

At the same time, he also admired this Xie Yiwei even more, this person was more resourceful than he expected.

However, Xie Yiwei probably didn't care much about Chen Lifu's thoughts, he sat quietly on the side, and didn't say a word, until the people from the secretariat came in and asked them to face the saint, he stood up!

Now, they are going to the office of the Son of Heaven to report on the securities reform.

Following a third-class secretary of the secretariat, when he went to the office of the Son of Heaven, Chen Lifu's steps were quite steady, and his mood was quite calm.

So now this kind of scene, he can still hold it!

But for some reason, when they followed the third-class secretary in front of them to the door of the Shengtianzi's office, Chen Lifu's heartbeat involuntarily accelerated.

He listened to the secretary singing: "Thank you Yiwei and Chen Lifu for your visit!" ”

At this time, it was as if something in his chest was blocked, which made him feel suffocated in an instant!

After waiting for the thick office door in front of him to be opened, he glanced inside, but the light in Li Xuan's office was very bright, and the corridor they were in before was relatively dark.

This is the unique design of Li Xuan's office, basically as long as the weather is good and the sun is sufficient, everyone who comes to face the saint will see such a scene at first sight.

Whether it is shocked or not, it is difficult to say whether it will produce any sacred feeling, but it must be extremely dazzling, making people unable to see clearly at first glance, and even sometimes the sun is strong, which will make people unable to open their eyes at first sight.

At this time, Chen Lifu also experienced this feeling, and then at this moment, he was a little stunned.

Xie Yiwei, who was beside him, quietly pulled him gently with his hand, and then asked Chen Lifu to follow him into the office.

This is not the first time Xie Yiwei has come, when he was appointed as the envoy of Zhejiang, he came to meet Li Xuan once according to the usual practice, and when he was the director of the financial department, he also met him once, and this time, it was the third time he met Li Xuan in Li Xuan's office.

So his reaction was more normal!

After taking Chen Lifu inside, they walked two steps, and then bowed according to etiquette!

"Minister Xie Yiwei knocked to see my emperor, long live, long live, long live!"

"Minister Chen Lifu knocks on my emperor, long live, long live, long live!"

These two people opened their mouths to bow and salute, of course, not kneeling, in the Tang Dynasty under the rule of Li Xuan, although it was said that the kneeling ceremony was not abolished, but there was no need to kneel and worship on daily occasions.

When the people see the officials, and the lower officials see the upper officials, it is forbidden to bow down and bow in exchange for the bowing etiquette.

When officials face the saints, they usually use this kind of bowing salute, but this is only the usual time, if it is a formal court meeting or some other formal ceremonial occasions, it is still necessary to kneel and bow.

Military generals are an exception, when wearing military uniforms, they will be replaced by military salutes, and there is no need to kneel and salute, but if they are not wearing military uniforms, they need to kneel and salute.

After saluting, these two people could be considered to have adapted to the light, and then they could see Li Xuan's appearance clearly!
