"Really?" Liu Yong asked with a raised brow.

Chen An replied: "It's true, the minister doesn't dare to speak in front of His Majesty. ”

Liu Yong smiled and said, "I don't dare." After saying that, he sat back on the dragon chair.

Chen An followed the emperor's position and changed his direction.

After sitting down, Liu Yong said again: "In this way, I can rest assured, you know that I have many sons, and there will be many things, and it is inevitable that there will be some conflicts." The discord between the brothers, especially the discord between the princes, has a great impact on the government. If it is not good, it will cause the party to fight against each other. ”

Chen An said: "Your Majesty has naturally seen through this point a long time ago. And the minister also noticed this aspect. The minister's intention was not to go to the princes, but the minister was afraid that the courtiers would form a party for personal gain. As the prime minister, the minister will never allow this kind of thing to happen. ”

"Well, that's the way you think. But don't be too harsh. You must know that when the water is clear, there are no fish! Liu Yong nodded Chen An and said.

"It's Your Majesty, the minister remembers." Chen An immediately agreed.

Liu Yong asked again: "Chen An, what are the difficulties in the work of the imperial court now?" ”

Chen An replied: "Back to Your Majesty, the most rare thing is the recovery of the economy!" ”

Liu Yong also knows that if you want such a big country, economic issues will always be the top priority. It's also the hardest part. It's a pity that the foundations of the original Dahua Dynasty were all destroyed by war and the inaction of the Tatars. Now such a country is almost poor and white. Everything has to start from scratch.

"Well, this is also something that worries me! But economic problems are not urgent. You must walk steadily, you can't run, it's easy to fall. Liu Yong said.

"Yes, Your Majesty, we didn't have to do business before. This side is much larger. It covers all levels of issues. For example, people's livelihood, the finances of the imperial court, and so on. Chen An said.

"Well, during this time, you should mainly focus on economic construction!" Liu Yong said.

"Your Majesty, the minister has written it down." Chen An said.

Liu Yong asked again: "Chen An, how is the scientific examination of the Ministry of Rites?" ”

Chen An said: "This, Minister Wang Qing of the Ministry of Rites personally reported to the minister a few days ago, saying that teaching has been fully resumed from the township-level school. And the exams at all levels are gradually set for time. There will be a provincial examination in the spring of next year, and a palace examination in the fall. ”

Liu Yong nodded with satisfaction after hearing this, and said: "The economy is important, but this education is also very important. Ay! Now that I think about it, it's really no small matter in the country! ”

Chen An said: "What Your Majesty said is extremely true, scientific research is an important channel for the imperial court to select talents. Only when the imperial court has talents can the country prosper. ”

"Well, you're right, the Ministry of Rites has done a good job in this matter, and it will be rewarded. It's up to you to do it. Liu Yong said.

Chen An arched his hand and said, "It's Your Majesty." ”

"Okay, I'll not ask anything else, you can go down." Liu Yong said.

Chen An immediately knelt down for Liu Yong.

Liu Yong said: "Chen An, you go and tell the Ministry of Rites, and the rules about retreating and kneeling will be revoked." There is no need for this. ”

Chen An got up and said, "Yes, Your Majesty, the ministers will explain when they go down." ”

"Well, there you go." Liu Yong said.

Chen An said: "Weichen retired. And then he went down.

Liu Yong also got up and went back to the Qingxin Palace, and he was a little tired from sitting all morning. Lay down on the bed under the service of the eunuchs. But I still think about the Northern Expedition and road construction.

Now these two things are big things in his eyes.

It's not easy for you to be an emperor, you have to preside over everything personally, and you really can't be an emperor without a strong body and brain.

The eunuch Chen Xiaochun asked Liu Yong and said, "Your Majesty, just sleep for a while!" He saw that Liu Yong was tired, but he frowned and thought about things.

"I can't sleep!" Liu Yong said.

Chen Xiaochun said: "Your Majesty is really a good emperor who is diligent and honest, and we Huahan have a good emperor like Your Majesty, which is the luck of all the people!" ”

Liu Yong said: "Okay, don't be a sycophant." ”

Chen Xiaochun grinned and said, "Your Majesty, what the slave said is from the bottom of my heart. ”

Liu Yong smiled slightly and said, "Your heartfelt words are sycophants. ”

Chen Xiaochun hurriedly agreed: "Yes, yes, Your Majesty said that the slave is what it is!" ”

Liu Yong smiled and said, "Okay, don't bother me, you have to lie here and think about things carefully." ”

"It's Your Majesty, the slave is just outside the door." Chen Xiaochun bent down and retreated. By the way, he called away a few palace daughters who were standing quietly.

As an emperor, it is difficult to be alone, although they call themselves lonely and widowed, but in fact, they are talking about their hearts. The emperor's surroundings are not lonely. Loneliness is only their hearts.

At this time, Liu Yong felt a kind of inner loneliness while lying on the bed. And all the people of the world worshipped him, and the distance between them was lengthened. Even the wives who used to laugh casually can't anymore. Without their own calling, they dare not come to them on their own.

That's loneliness.

If it is a national matter, it is a major matter, and if it is a major matter, he must be in charge, and no one can share it for him.

That's loneliness.

As long as the so-called ability is, there is a great responsibility. Liu Yong thought to himself: "Since I choose to be the emperor of the world, I must take on this responsibility." There is no shirking responsibility. ”

As soon as he thought of this, his pride came out. Defeating the Tarnus, recovering the Central Plains, expanding the territory, and subjugating the world were goals he could not forget.

He sat up and shouted, "Chen Xiaochun." ”

"The slave is here." Before I saw anyone, I heard Chen Xiaochun's voice first.

"Chen Xiaochun, go, accompany me out of the palace." Liu Yong said.

"Out of the palace?" Chen Xiaochun was stunned for a moment and asked.

Liu Yong said: "What? Are you deaf? ”

Chen Xiaochun hurriedly shook his head and said, "It's Your Majesty, the slave maid will go and prepare." "I'm leaving.

Liu Yong stopped him and said, "How are you going to prepare?" ”

Chen Xiaochun said: "Prepare the carriage and guards? ”

Liu Yong said: "No need, you invite Concubine Wu Niangniang to me, as well as Princess Zixia." Go ahead. ”

Chen Xiaochun asked, "Isn't Your Majesty called a guard?" ”

Liu Yong said: "No need, I have to go out by myself, and you don't want to follow." ”

Although Chen Xiaochun has objections, he doesn't dare to say it, what the emperor says is what, do you object? Don't want your head?

"Yes, Your Majesty." After Chen Xiaochun finished speaking, he went.

Liu Yong said to Xiaogong's daughter: "Change me into civilian clothes." ”

The little palace maid acted immediately.

While getting dressed, Liu Yong thought about going to the street to see the lives of the people. Since he lived in the palace and became emperor, he has not visited this gorgeous Tian'an City.

After a while, Su Erniang, who is also Concubine Wu, and Princess Zixia, who is Pan'er, came together.
