On some busy days, Xiao Ruxun has to deal with more than 200 performances, and even when he is small, he has 120 or 30 state affairs to deal with.

When encountering difficult issues with different opinions from the cabinet ministers, he still has to make decisions himself, and he really has to squeeze out the time for dinner.

At this time, he really felt what a tiring errand it was for an emperor to hold absolute power.

I also really felt what kind of mood Zhu Yuanzhang was in when he wrote that limerick poem.

The hundred bureaucrats have not gotten up first, and the hundreds of bureaucrats have slept and I have not slept, not as rich as the rich man in the south of the Yangtze River.

When he was also very tired from dealing with government affairs, he smiled bitterly and read this poem to Wang Xijue, Li Tingji, and Ye Xianggao, expressing his tired and longing for rest.

However, this is just a sigh, if anyone thinks that Zhu Yuanzhang is too tired and feels that he needs to divide power to others, it is a big mistake.

Everyone knows that a husband can't be without power for a day, let alone an emperor.

In order to hold this tired power in his hands, Zhu Yuanzhang overturned countless competitors, and launched eight Northern Expeditions to expel Meng Yuan from the Central Plains, and then killed an unknown number of ministers, killing more than a million.

In order to hold this tired power in his hands, Xiao Ruxun mobilized one class to overthrow another entire class, killing people like hemp, and will continue to kill in the future until he dies.

They only grasped this hard-won power by standing on the sea of corpses and blood, and they must have to stand on the sea of corpses to get this power, except for the emperor who stood on the sea of corpses and blood, no emperor could get this power.

Not to mention that the emperor loves power, even in modern times, many of those business tycoons get up earlier than chickens and sleep later than ghosts, and they will never delegate power in their hands.

Any elite, his rest time and recreation time are always insufficient, the same in any era and everywhere.

Are those wealthy people in Jiangnan really getting high and fifty?

The higher the status, the more important the position, the greater the power, the less time you have for yourself, or even almost none.

In addition to retired people and abnormal people, even an ordinary person who goes to work and school normally does not have the right to sleep lazy every day, unless he retires.

Not to mention the emperor of this era.

So the emperor can complain and joke, but if the ministers believe it, it is purely looking for death.

Many ministers have cooperated with Xiao Ruxun for more than a year, and they are also clear about Xiao Ruxun's character.

The Iron Blood Emperor is nothing more than that.

There are questions that can be discussed, but after the decision is made, who dares to question it, who wants to go against the emperor, then think about whether his head is still there.

This is just the emperor's self-ridicule, to put it mildly, vulgarly, this is called pretending.

But this is not a simple pretense, the general pretense refers to the incompetent people who brag for the sake of face, but the emperor pretends to be forced, that is the product of the vanity that swells to the point of incomprehensibility after being really extremely complacent.

This is a show-off, not a complaint.

This is an emotion after extreme comfort, not a complaint.

These are the words that can only be uttered by the emperor who has enjoyed the bliss of bliss, and the emotion that can be expressed.

In other words, the emperor enjoyed it.

Zhu Yuanzhang wrote this limerick poem in extreme comfort.

In the same way, it is the same when it comes to Xiao Ruxun.

He was tired, it was true, tired, tired, and wanted to rest, but at the same time, he was so happy, so happy that he was flying, so happy that he couldn't be more happy, and nothing in the world could be compared to his current happiness.

Everything must be approved by oneself, any major national affairs are decided by oneself, no one dares to do anything without nodding oneself, the whole world will tremble three times if you stomp your feet, and the entire court will be worried if you sneeze yourself.

A casual look can make a person restless for a whole day, and even make him suspicious to the point of schizophrenia.

A casual sentence can make countless people speculate about the meaning and make them worried.

A random decree could allow the Manchu civil and military to predict the future direction of the imperial court, allowing them to move around like their own marionettes.

With a random finger, there were countless loyal dogs screaming and rushing forward, according to their own orders, to fight, to rob, to die.

Holding the real power of life and death, holding the lifeblood of everyone, and playing with everything in this world, this feeling is really ......

Bliss.

The joy of holding power, he really feels it now, now, in the moment.

And almost obsessed with it.

He clearly understands why people can give up everything for power.

If he didn't understand the trend of history more clearly, and clearly understood that all this was just a castle in the air, he would definitely be completely addicted to it, become the second Zhu Yuanzhang, govern Daqin into a strengthened version of the Ming Dynasty, and after two or three hundred years, usher in one revolution, or two, and then fall apart.

Because it's so much fun.

It's so happy.

Therefore, the wise minister knows this clearly, and if he doesn't know how to flip through the Taizu scroll of "Ming Shilu", Xiao Ruxun's behavior pattern can almost be predicted.

Xiao Ruxun complained a little, they didn't dare to take it seriously, if they said something, "Your Majesty is so tired, why don't you let the ministers share one or two for Your Majesty, the ministers are really worried about Your Majesty's body", then they can wait for the head to fall to the ground.

Accompanying the king is like accompanying the tiger, the emperor's heart is under the sea, especially the excellent emperor, that mind is not comparable to ordinary women.

The mind of His Majesty today, that is even more so.

They are also often subjected to Emperor Xiao's intentional or unintentional "temptation", and they must be cautious every time they respond, for fear that they will say something wrong and make the emperor feel dissatisfied, so they will be directly pushed down.

Now the emperor wants to kill whom, it is easier than Zhu Yuanzhang.

So they always take Tang Taizong's allusion that he has become thinner and "comfort" Xiao Ruxun.

Your Majesty is indeed tired, but Your Majesty is so diligent in government, the people must be relaxed.

Really good at talking, really smart people, Daqin needs this kind of smart people.

Xiao Ruxun laughed and asked them to continue to go back to do things, they were not allowed to be lazy, he took care of the food, and he was in charge of the food, but whoever was lazy would have no food to eat.

After the Qianqing Palace became the emperor's office, the elder and the emperor worked in the same office, and when they encountered things, they directly discussed with each other to deal with them, and Xiao Ruxun could also supervise the work of them and the cabinet staff at close range.

At the same time, it is also convenient to make a relatively complete estimate of the ability and potential of some people, and then it can be directly seen which people have relatively strong ability and potential to take over the work in important positions in the future, and even eventually enter the cabinet.

Now there are no rules for Hanlin to enter the cabinet in Daqin, and the Hanlin Academy is just an idle official office repairing books and history, and under Xiao Ruxun's arrangement, a large number of idle old scholars have gathered and begun to revise the "History of the Ming Dynasty".

It turned out that the Hanlin people in it were killed and degraded before and after the founding of the Great Qin, and those who were talented and could stand with Xiao Ruxun were basically sent to major departments to work, and there were only some old sour Confucians left in the Hanlin Academy.

There was really no reason to kill, and I didn't want to be annoyed by them, and I didn't want to be criticized for driving them away and leaving them with nowhere to find a stove, so I simply stayed and let them do some chores.

After that, the officials of the cabinet must be recruited from the underground office, anyone has the possibility of entering the cabinet, and any official has the possibility of eventually becoming a minister of the empire or even the head of the empire.

In the future, the young officials who are currently working in the cabinet will be sent to localities, even remote places, and gradually transferred back to the central government in the future according to their own political achievements, and preside over all the operations of the empire, and the cycle will continue from generation to generation.

The future of the empire is coming step by step.
