His Majesty the Emperor casually lay on the dragon chair in the hall, his fingers tapped lightly on the armrest, and he said to himself: "It's been a day of talking, and I don't know how much it has been talked about. ”

Just as the emperor was muttering, a father-in-law outside the hall walked softly with small steps, and whispered behind him: "Your Majesty, Lord Li Xiang has arrived." ”

A smile appeared at the corner of the emperor's mouth, and then he hurriedly got up, and said quickly: "Please, please." ”

"Yes. ”

The father-in-law walked out of the hall again, and after a while, a middle-aged man wearing a dark dark robe and a high mountain crown came from outside the hall.

The man's face was solemn and resolute, and he didn't look smiling, walked to the stage and waved his hands and saluted: "Minister Li Si, I have seen His Majesty the Emperor." ”

The emperor hurriedly put down the wine glass in his hand, waved his hand casually to the audience with his mouth open, spit out the sip of wine he had just drunk on the steps, walked down and looked carefully left and right, and then said: "I never thought that the prime minister was already full of gray hair in the year of the mandate of heaven, and he really worked hard for the country. ”

Prime Minister Li Si saluted again and replied: "Your Majesty is still thinking about Weichen every day, which really makes the minister feel terrified. I don't know what important things His Majesty summoned Weichen late at night. ”

The emperor waved his hand to interrupt the prime minister's words, and said casually: "I won't talk about important matters tonight." ”

Li Si bowed his head slightly and did not reply.

The Emperor slowly sat down on the steps, wiped the drink-soaked countertop, and tugged at the corner of his coat to sit down.

Li Si bowed his head and said, "The minister doesn't dare." ”

The Emperor smiled and patted the surface of the steps with his left hand, with an inviting look in his eyes.

Li Si no longer shirked, and after a salute, he said, "The minister is brave." ”

Flicking his sleeves and sitting down beside him, the emperor looked outside the hall and sighed softly: "I don't know what's wrong, it seems that I have been standing under the stage for a long time before, and I always feel that the chair is not very comfortable to sit on." The Emperor folded his hands behind his head and lay casually down on the top of the steps.

Li Si immediately got up, saluted and persuaded: "Your Majesty is the lord of a country, such actions are detrimental to Your Majesty's majesty, and it is really unseemly, I implore Your Majesty to be cautious in your words and deeds." ”

The emperor turned his head, smiled slightly, yawned and asked with some helplessness and exclamation in his tone, "Does the Prime Minister know what time it is?"

Li thought about the time he would leave the mansion, calculated the time required along the way, and said, "If you go back to Your Majesty, it's time now." ”

The emperor nodded slightly, "Prime Minister, my Prime Minister." It's time now, not the time of the early dynasty, and the emperor's majesty should be slowly put down. ”

Li Si bowed slightly, and saluted: "What Your Majesty said is very true, it is a small fuss made by the minister, and I hope Your Majesty will forgive me." ”

The emperor seemed to have thought of something, frowned and said, "I heard a sentence last night, and I thought it was very interesting, and I wanted to refer to it with the Prime Minister. ”

Li Si bowed his head slightly, but did not say anything.

"I heard yesterday that some people are suitable for sitting and others are suitable for standing, what does it mean for me to refer to this? ”

Li Si frowned, and hurriedly saluted and replied loudly: "The words of the heart are not credible, this person is a disaster for my dynasty, and he should be punished with a great crime." I also implore Your Majesty not to listen to the slander of villains. ”

A smile appeared on the corner of the emperor's mouth, which became even more terrifying in this night, and asked with great interest: "When the prime minister feels uncomfortable to sit, should he just be so uncomfortable, or should he change places with someone who is suitable for sitting?"

Prime Minister Li Si waved his hand and saluted: "Back to Your Majesty, Your Majesty is too tired during the day, dare to ask Your Majesty to rest early." ”

The emperor laughed, "Dare to ask Your Majesty to rest early, a very ordinary word, but in the entire court, only your Prime Minister Li Si dares to say it, I am almost the same age as the eldest prince and the prime minister, I want to ask the prime minister, have you ever had the idea of resting?"

Li Si was neither humble nor arrogant, but bowed his head slightly and said, "Your Majesty has misunderstood the minister's meaning." ”

The emperor waved his hand and said with a smile: "It's just a joke, it's a joke." Then he reached out and patted the steps at his side.

Li Si stepped forward and sat down, and the emperor recalled the past and sighed: "I wonder which prime minister I am going to climb to this position if I am not old and weak, and Lord Li can have this achievement now only in the year of the Mandate of Heaven, which is really embarrassing." ”

"Your Majesty Xie appreciates that it is an honor for the first emperor to be able to serve the country and assist the royal family. ”

The Emperor shook his head, "The First Emperor often praised the Prime Minister when he was there, and I also know that the Lord has the ability to correspond to or even far exceed this position, but have you ever thought that being able to do so may not be a blessing. Just as I sat on that chair all day, it was too cold to sit high, and adults should always pay attention to their bodies, and don't be too tired. Doctor Yushi is considered to be the deputy of the adult, and the adult has to try to share some affairs with others a little, and he can't do everything himself. ”

Li Si got up and saluted, "The minister obeys the order." ”

The emperor slammed his mouth, and said with some dissatisfaction on his face: "Why did you obey the order? Prime Minister, this is a bit of a fuss, I just reminded you to care about your lordship." Then he pulled his sleeve and sat down again, patted the other party's shoulder and said: "Don't think too much, my lord, I said that I won't talk about important matters today, just small talk, and it doesn't involve power and government affairs." ”

Li Si opened his mouth and replied, "Yes, Your Majesty." ”
