Chapter 264: Yu Zhiqian's Day
As an emperor, Yu Zhiqian is very busy, welcome to Yu Zhiqian's day!
5:30
Autumn has just passed, winter is coming, the long dark night is coming, Chang'an City is still dark at half past five, there are no street lights, no electrical appliances and no alarm clock, but Yu Zhiqian still woke up on time, his son cried, and he wanted to feed!
After Cheng Xiang hurriedly finished feeding, Yu Zhiqian didn't feel sleepy, changed his clothes, stood in front of the dormitory, glanced at the dark Chang'an City, let out a long sigh, got up and walked towards the Yizheng Palace, Chang'an City at half past five in the morning, few people have seen it, and Yu Zhiqian is one of the witnesses.
The hall was already brightly lit, and half past five was a very sensitive point in time, and the ministers on duty at night were already drowsy, while the ministers on the day shift had not yet arrived at work, and the shift time was at seven o'clock in the morning.
The job of these ministers on duty is to deal with emergencies, and then according to the influence of emergencies, and then decide whether to report to the emperor, if there is a mutiny, foreign invasion and other major events, these ministers on duty will report the news to Yu Zhiqian as soon as possible, originally this group of people on duty was in an attic next to the palace, but Yu Zhiqian in order to facilitate work and improve efficiency, they were left in the side hall of the council hall.
With the big meat bun that had just come out of the imperial dining room in his mouth, Yu Zhiqian pushed open the door of the council hall, and the sleepy ministers sat up straight as if they were lying on the ground and resting with a blanket just now, they were able to complete a series of uncomplicated actions such as getting up and saluting in an instant, and you couldn't find the slightest mistake.
Behind these skillful movements, is the muscle memory formed by this group of ministers after thousands of hard exercises at home, in order to perform in front of the emperor at this moment, accompany the king like a tiger, and have to do it as a last resort, Yu Zhiqian even said with emotion: Push the door for a second, the minister has ten years of work! Looking at these skillful and distressing movements, Yu Zhiqian felt that ten years might be less!
Generally speaking, there will be no major events at night, and most of Yu Zhiqian's inquiries are routine, but when he came to the council hall today, he still received some news, such as news from Shandong, Shandong has suffered another disaster, but this time it is not a drought, but a flood, and Shandong has been raining heavily for ten consecutive days......
However, Shandong Province is a big disaster-stricken household, and the local officials are very experienced, and they have begun to provide disaster relief, and they have reported to the imperial court just for disaster relief, and Shandong food has not been enough to eat, which has been a matter since ancient times, and it is so now, and the future is also true before the old man Yuan did not appear.
After writing a letter asking the household department to mobilize some grain for disaster relief, Yu Zhiqian began his official work today.
The plan of the day lies in the morning, and the morning is the best time of the day to study, so Yu Zhiqian did not start to deal with government affairs, but in, yes, although Yu Zhiqian's movable type printing failed countless times, but in the end it was successful, but the output of paper is still a little low, and the Ministry of Industry has been working overtime to study new paper.
However, after the invention of movable type printing, a new group emerged, and there were dozens of people in Chang'an City who relied on writing for a living, all kinds of types, supernatural, historical wonders, ancient myths, etc., of course, there were some banned books, but they could not be put on the table.
According to rumors, the most powerful home in Chang'an City should be in the former East Palace, and the Dream of Red Mansions is spread from the East Palace, and there is also half of it called Dou Po, but it has not been written, but it has not been written, but in the thirty years of Hedong and thirty years of Hexi, the sentence of not bullying the young and poor has affected many ordinary people's children.
What Yu Zhiqian is looking at now is an ancient myth, a fantasy story with a general meaning, an ordinary person of the Yu Tang Empire traveled to the period of the Three Emperors and Five Emperors, Yu Zhiqian saw it well, although it was not as wonderful as the Internet literature of later generations, but it was also a little similar, and the routines had begun to appear.
7:00
The wise and martial emperor finished his morning reading and recharging activities, and began to do the second thing, which was to have breakfast.
changed his clothes first, returned to the harem, went to Cheng Xiang's palace, and had dinner with his son, of course, Yu Zhiqian didn't eat with the queen every day, but also went to Cheng Xiang and Master Li to eat, the frequency was about the same, the queen may be higher here, after all, his daughter is here.
The emperor's breakfast was very rich, not the more meat in the mouths of the people, but Yu Zhiqian was most interested in porridge with meat buns, or noodles.
After eating, Yu Zhiqian began the third thing every day, and educate his children, well, to be precise, to educate his daughter, Yu Zhiqian was a father first, and then the emperor, so Yu Zhiqian cared very much about the education of his children, and would spare a certain amount of time every day to accompany his children.
There is a lot of educational content, but because the child is still young, it is generally to kiss and hug and hold high, and then ride a small wooden horse, etc., and when the child is tired of playing, it is probably around nine o'clock in the morning, of course, Yu Zhiqian sometimes needs to go to his mother's side to ask for peace, but after the old emperor comes back, Yu Zhiqian does not have to go every day.
9:00
After completing the three major events such as morning reading, breakfast, and educating children, Yu Zhiqian also has to start formal work, after all, he is an emperor and needs to govern the country.
Yu Zhiqian is a person who attaches great importance to health, sitting for a long time, will be sub-healthy, and the body will have problems, Yu Zhiqian heard that the black spot shopkeeper in Dongshi is sitting in front of his counter every day, as if there is a herniated disc in his waist, so in order to prevent himself from getting this disease, Yu Zhiqian did not choose to sit in the office, but chose to lie down in the office.
But lying down in the office, if you look up at the concert and criticize the chapter, it will hurt your eyes a lot, so Yu Zhiqian came up with a brilliant idea, which is to let the chamberlain read it.
The so-called reading means that the inner attendant reads the content of the recital summarized by Shangshu Province and Zhongshu Province, and Yu Zhiqian listens carefully, if it is allowed, it is placed on his left hand, if not, it is placed on his right hand, and if he can't make up his mind, he puts it in the middle.
This way of reviewing the recital is more reliable than asking the chamberlain to help review the recital, and the emperor can also know what is happening in the world, of course, this work can not be done by the stuttering chamberlain, otherwise you may not be able to read a few chapters in the morning, thanks to Yu Zhiqian's previous policy of streamlining the recital, now the content of the Yu Tang Empire's recital is very short, and with the speed of speech is a little faster, the eunuch reading the words is correct and round, the speed of reviewing the recital will be much faster, of course, some confidential recitals Yu Zhiqian will also deal with it himself.
From nine o'clock to about eleven o'clock, Yu Zhiqian worked hard, constantly giving different opinions, and the recitals were also divided into three categories, placed in different positions in front of Yu Zhiqian's desk, two hours was enough for Yu Zhiqian to finish dozens of recitals, young is so efficient, if it is an old emperor, it may take a day.
11:00
Work is a combination of work and rest, so after dealing with a morning of government affairs, Yu Zhiqian felt back pain and needed to move his body, the main reason may also be because he has been lying down for a long time, does not exercise, will gain weight, Yu Zhiqian does not want to become a fat man, the kind that needs to be helped when walking, so as soon as eleven o'clock arrives, Yu Zhiqian will start fitness exercises.
This sport requires four people to participate, sometimes it is Yu Zhiqian's queen plus two concubines, sometimes it is the minister on duty, and sometimes it is the minister who comes to meet him, anyway, there is no problem with getting four people, from eleven to twelve o'clock, Yu Zhiqian will kill all sides at the card table, and he has been on the throne for more than a year, Yu Zhiqian has basically not lost much money except for playing mahjong with his queen and others, so Yu Zhiqian feels that his mahjong playing skills should improve a lot.
Of course, playing mahjong is not able to lose weight, but today Yu Zhiqian chose to play mahjong as an entertainment project, as well as playing cards, throwing pots, archery and other rich entertainment activities, occasionally watching singing and dancing to appreciate beauties, listening to small songs to cultivate sentiment, completely depends on Yu Zhiqian's mood.
12:00
Noon is the hottest time of the day, not suitable for office, and after an hour of exercise, Yu Zhiqian is also a little tired, ready to have lunch, and take a look at his daughter by the way, after all, he has not seen his daughter for three hours, Yu Zhiqian still misses his daughter.
Go to a side hall in the harem to eat, this is a palace established by Yu Zhiqian, because there are fewer concubines, Yu Zhiqian still likes to sit and eat together, so lunch is generally a family to eat lunch together.
After lunch, it is time for Yu Zhiqian to continue to educate his children, Yu Zhiqian will play with his daughter and son in the dormitory, and when he is tired, he will lie down to sleep, after all, Yu Zhiqian is a little exhausted after a busy morning.
14:00
At two o'clock in the afternoon, the hottest time of the day passed, Yu Zhiqian, who was full of food and sleep, needed to continue to work, don't think that the emperor can not work, the emperor needs to work every day, and the ministers can still rest, but the emperor can't, diligent, conscientious, is the real work of an emperor.
Because today is the 10th, the day of the Great Dynasty Meeting, Yu Zhiqian changed the Great Court Meeting from four or five o'clock in the morning to two o'clock in the afternoon, so when he arrived in the main hall, the ministers had already waited for a long time, and after seeing Yu Zhiqian, they saluted Yu Zhiqian in a uniform manner, which is also the time when Yu Zhiqian felt that he was the coolest emperor, but there was a person who did not salute himself today.
His cheap dad was sitting not far away, checking with a teacup in his hand, and a teapot on the small coffee table next to him......
Yu Zhiqian has participated in and presided over this kind of thing many times, from the nervousness at the beginning, accustomed to it and now as if nothing happened, Yu Zhiqian has undergone a transformation.
At the beginning of the very normal court meeting, each department reported what happened during this time, and then everyone discussed how to deal with it together, but as the process of the court meeting began to accelerate, the contradictions between the various departments broke out, and began to compete with each other after the two sides saluted and greeted, and then then reprimanded each other with red faces, spat fragrant mouth, and finally went to the full martial arts in the main hall.
As Yu Zhiqian imagined before, when there was a big court meeting in the morning, everyone had just woken up, and when they got up in the early morning, they were all sleepy, and they were very weak when they fought, and the movements looked exaggerated, but the damage was not enough, but after changing the time to afternoon, it was two different things.
According to the incomplete statistics of the household department, after changing the time of the court meeting to the afternoon, there have been thirty-five ministers injured, of which two were seriously injured, and the rest were lightly injured, most of the people in the group are old men, but there are relatively few young people, after all, the official positions of young people are not high, and they are not qualified to join this kind of battle between bigwigs.
16:00
After watching a theatrical version of the war of the big guys, Yu Zhiqian returned to his own council hall, dealt with government affairs, and took out some issues at the court meeting to discuss them separately, this time is uncontrollable, if you encounter a thorny problem, you may deal with it until late at night, if there are not too many things, you can deal with it in half an hour, and then Yu Zhiqian will take a general look at the remaining pieces of today, if the number is not very large, Yu Zhiqian will generally work overtime and dispose of the pieces, if there are more pieces, Then Yu Zhiqian will have people send the chapter to Shangshu Province and let them deal with it, except for the expedited and encrypted ones, of course.
17:00
Five o'clock in the afternoon, according to reason, it should be Yu Zhiqian's off-duty time, 9 to 5 is a work system, as the emperor should play a leading and exemplary role, strictly abide by it, after all, the emperor is also a profession, don't you believe it? Open Baidu Encyclopedia to search for those emperors in history, what Li Shimin and others, the occupation column says that they are emperors.
A profession has fixed working hours, so Yu Zhiqian set his working hours as 9 to 5!
After getting off work at five o'clock, Yu Zhiqian ushered in the happiest time of his day, there was no endless government affairs, and there was no all kinds of irritable harassment, he could be in the study with peace of mind, continue to watch himself, or go for a walk with his daughter, or deal with his own flash of inspiration in his laboratory, in short, Yu Zhiqian is very free.
19:00
Dinner time, dinner and breakfast are basically eaten separately, Yu Zhiqian usually goes to the concubine to eat a meal, and then there is a high probability of staying at night, of course, if you don't think of where to go, you will eat two bites at will in the side hall by yourself.
21:00
Flop time, life should have a sense of ceremony, as the emperor should be even more so, so at this point in time, Yu Zhiqian will take out his small cards, choose one of three, choose where to spend the night today, and occasionally choose two out of three, and choose three to be slept together!
22:00-5:30
His Majesty Yu Zhiqian, who has worked hard all day, has fallen asleep, it is really a hard day, and his back hurts!
