The next day, after the morning dynasty dispersed, the ministers dispersed in twos and threes, Chen Fei walked in the front, and when he walked out of the hall, he glanced at the back, and just right, Xu Jingzong also looked up at him. The two nodded tacitly, but didn't say anything.

Xu Jingzong passed past Chen Fei and left with a heavy mind. Chen Fei saw that he was walking towards the palace, smiled slightly, and also raised his legs and walked out, but he was walking outside the palace.

Xu Jingzong waited outside the palace until noon and was not summoned by Li Shimin. From the beginning of apprehension, anxiety, to the current numbness. He suddenly remembered a very funny thing - Li Shimin is not something that everyone can see!

If it weren't for Li Shimin's confidant, if he didn't have something important to report in a hurry, and he didn't have a sense of existence like him, I was afraid that if I wanted to see Li Shimin, I would have to wait in line for several days.

After all, the emperor is also very busy, and not all miscellaneous people can see it.

Obviously, he is one of the "miscellaneous". Although it is a bit of a self-esteem to say this, his situation now is indeed the most stark reality.

Like him, there were many people who stood outside the palace holding ivory plaques and were not summoned for a long time. A few people have been standing outside the palace for a long time, so they will naturally take a few words.

It was learned from others that these people had been queuing outside the palace for two days, and had still not been summoned by His Majesty.

What is frustrating is that from time to time, some ministers who arrive later, but only wait outside for a while, and some eunuchs come to announce their admonitions. This disparity cannot but be frustrating.

In particular, the appearance of someone hit Xu Jingzong's fragile self-esteem.

"Huh? Lord Xu? Are you still waiting here? Xu Jingzong looked back and saw that it was Chen Fei who walked up.

"Lord Chen? You are also coming to see Your Majesty? ”

Chen Fei nodded: "Well, it's routine to report work." Alas, I said, didn't you come here and wait as soon as you dispersed? Haven't it been your turn yet? It's past lunchtime. ”

Xu Jingzong's face was full of bitterness, of course he was embarrassed to say that Li Shimin didn't want to see them at all, so he had to say that several people had "cut in line" before, so it was not his turn to line up until now.

"Cutting in line? Alas! These people who cut in line are the most hateful! I look down on these people who cut in line the most! Don't worry, I'll wait with you. Chen Fei stood beside Xu Jingzong and waited in line to be summoned, which made Xu Jingzong feel a little better.

The officials who waited together showed friendly smiles when they saw Chen Fei. The young adult in front of him is a man of the hour in the court, a favorite of the court, who doesn't want to have a relationship with him? Especially those of them who are at the bottom of the court, they want to talk to Chen Fei, it is best to hug their thighs and follow him behind his ass from now on.

Chen Fei stood in place for less than five minutes, the palace gate suddenly opened, and the eunuch who delivered the decree inside looked outside, and when he saw Chen Fei, a smile suddenly appeared on his face, and he ran to Chen Fei in small steps, and said respectfully: "Lord Chen, Lord Chen!" Your Majesty is waiting to see you, hurry up and follow the old slave to see Your Majesty. ”

Chen Fei was halfway through chatting with several officials, and before he could figure out what their surnames were, he was stunned for a moment when he heard the eunuch's words, "Huh? Oh, okay, okay. I'll go. ”

With that, he followed the eunuch and disappeared in front of Xu Jingzong.

Xu Jingzong watched Chen Fei walk into the palace, stomped his feet on the spot, and said angrily: "You still said that you won't cut in line!" Swindler! ”

Chen Fei didn't come out after about half an hour after going in this time, and when he came out, he just saw Xu Jingzong staring at him with an unhappy face, and couldn't help but be curious: "Lord Xu? What's wrong with you? Why is the complexion so ugly? Your Majesty is about to summon you, why don't you smile and ask you to see Your Majesty like this? ”

"Lord Chen doesn't need to laugh at the lower officials, I'm afraid Your Majesty won't have time to summon me today." Xu Jingzong shook his head lonely, and at this moment, the eunuch who passed the decree walked in front of Xu Jingzong, first smiled at Chen Fei friendly, and then said to Xu Jingzong: "Lord Xu, Your Majesty has summoned, please come with me." ”

"Huh?" Xu Jingzong was dumbfounded, why did he wait for so long without news, and now he said that he would be summoned?

"Go ahead and take advantage of your chance." Chen Fei patted Xu Jingzong's shoulder and slapped him back to his senses. Xu Jingzong glanced at Chen Fei gratefully, knowing that it must have been Chen Fei who spoke for him, otherwise His Majesty would never have summoned him so soon.

After saluting Chen, he followed the eunuch into the palace. Within a stick of incense, I met Li Shimin.

After saluting, Li Shimin flattened him and asked, "Xu Jingzong, I heard Chen Fei say that you have something to report to me?" ”

Xu Jingzong suppressed the excitement in his heart and tried to calm himself, "Yes, Weichen does have something to report to His Majesty." As he spoke, he held up the notebook in his hand. The eunuch stepped forward, took the book from him, and handed it to Li Shimin.

Li Shimin briefly flipped through the notebook, sighed lightly, glanced at Xu Jingzong unexpectedly, and then lowered his head to take a closer look.

After a while, Li Shimin and Shangben looked at Xu Jingzong and said, "Xu Jingzong, is this what you came up with?" ”

Xu Jingzong knew that there must be no mistakes at this time, so he nodded and responded.

"Hehe, you are really bold, you dare to talk about the governor system set by the emperor, hehe."

This sentence almost scared Xu Jingzong out of a heart attack, and he hurriedly defended: "Your Majesty forgives the sin, Weichen is not talking about the governor system, but he just feels that this system is a little inappropriate, so he put forward a little suggestion, and I hope Your Majesty will learn from it!" ”

"It's a little suggestion indeed, and did you know that this advice is going to kill you?"

No way! It doesn't seem to be the same as I imagined! Xu Jingzong was so frightened that cold sweat came out. He nodded numbly, and quickly shook his head: "Your Majesty, the minister is only aware of some drawbacks of this system, not ......"

"That's it! Needless to say, I understand what you mean. The power of the governor is indeed a little too great, I have considered it before, but I have never thought of how to check and balance, today your proposal in the book is very good, I think you can try, but ...... Not now. Xu Jingzong, your proposal is good, but this matter only needs you to know, and it cannot be passed on. ”

After listening to this, Xu Jingzong only felt that he had risen from hell to heaven, and he almost couldn't find his way.

Your Majesty is actually sure of him? How many years has this not happened? At this moment, he was so moved that he wanted to cry.

"Compliance... Yes, sir! Wechen will never be passed on. ”

Li Shimin looked at Xu Jingzong, suddenly showed an emotional expression, and said vicissitudes: "Xu Jingzong, how long has it been since you were demoted?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty, it's been thirteen years."

"Thirteen years...... Empress Eldest Sun has been dead for thirteen years, alas! Time is unforgiving, time flies so fast! I often dreamed of the queen during this time, and maybe in the near future, I will also ...... with the queen."

Xu Jingzong was shocked and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty is in good health, and you will definitely live a hundred years or even long live!" Your Majesty is worry-free! ”

The eunuch palace maid next to her also knelt on the ground and shouted "Long live".

Li Shimin looked at a few people and waved his hand tiredly: "That's it, that's it, you guys stand down, I'm tired." Stand down. ”

"Yes!" ……
