Capital.

Nangong.

A year later, Zhu Qizhen has gradually recovered from his initial panic.

But that bloody warning is still fresh in my mind.

Occasionally he has nightmares at night, and Zhu Qizhen seems to be in the horrific scene at that time.

He dreamed more than once that Li Shimin ordered the imperial guards to arrest him

"Do not kill me!"

Zhu Qizhen suddenly sat up from the bed, sweating profusely with fright.

"Your Majesty, are you having a nightmare?"

Queen Qian, who is a little blind, comforted her from the side.

"It doesn't matter, I'll go outside and be quiet for a while.

The Queen can just continue to sleep."

Getting up from the bed, Zhu Qizhen walked outside to enjoy the cold wind.

The scene in the dream was still in his mind. As time passed by, the huge mental pressure made him become a little abnormal.

Zhu Qizhen Understand that as long as he, the Supreme Emperor, lives for one day, he is a threat to the current emperor.

Only when he is dead can the other party completely feel at ease.

Otherwise, he may regain the throne at any time!

Therefore, in one year, let Zhu An idea came to Qi Zhen's mind.

Since the other party is afraid of me and is on guard against me taking away the throne.

Do I still have to sit back and wait for death?

"Your Majesty, have some tea."

After a while, Queen Qian came out with a teapot and poured the other party a cup of herbal tea with her own hands.

"thank you"

"Between husband and wife, there is no need to say thank you or thank you."

The other party just smiled.

Looking at the affectionate queen, Zhu Qizhen couldn't help but feel heartbroken.

Queen Qian is a descendant of Jingnan, her grandfather Qian Tongguan was the commander of Jinwu's right guard, and her father was the governor of the central government.

The ceremony of the queen's appointment, It was also the grandest event in the history of the Ming Dynasty.

Because most of the previous emperors got married before they ascended the throne, it was just a formality.

Although it was the words of the matchmaker and the order of the parents, the couple's married life was very harmonious after the wedding.

As a queen, she is qualified. She is not jealous, does not interfere in politics, and does not prevent Zhu Qizhen from accepting concubines. Zhu Jianshen, the eldest son of a concubine, can get the treatment he deserves in the palace and will not be suppressed.

After Zhu Qizhen was captured , Queen Qian even chanted sutras and chanted blessings day and night.

To what extent?

One of her eyes was blinded by crying, and her legs were disabled.

Even though Zhu Qizhen was a useless emperor, his queen was relatively wise.

Wala How did Zhu Qizhen, who had returned from studying abroad, feel when he saw this scene?

One can imagine how he felt

"Your Majesty, life is already very good now.

Don't have any thoughts that you shouldn't have."

As Queen Qian's pillow, she can naturally guess the other person's thoughts.

After autumn, Zhu Qizhen became obviously more depressed and anxious.

"Well, don't worry.

I will be very satisfied to be with you for the rest of my life."

Zhu Qizhen said, but the faces of several people flashed in his mind.

Shi Heng, who was named Wu Qinghou because of his military exploits.

Xu Youzhen, who was once the main force in moving south, is already the deputy censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate.

Zhang Fu, the former Right Commander of the Fifth Army Governor's Mansion.

Cao Jixiang, the eunuch of the Department of Supervision, was once a subordinate of Wang Zhen.

These people have the most secret contacts with him.

They are also the most capable of helping him to complete his ideas. Civil servants and military generals.

Zhu Qizhen never thought about spending the rest of his life like this.

But now he is only twenty-three years old! He is really too young!

If he were forty or fifty years old, he would definitely not have much extra thought.

But now he is only twenty-three years old! In the next twenty or thirty years, Zhu Qizhen does not want to live in the palace for a long time.

How could the Ming Dynasty be the emperor for several decades!

…… royal palace.

Li Shimin looked at the dense memorials on the Long Case, and his heart was already a little broken.

Why are there so many political affairs?

To be honest, he was a little uncomfortable with being the emperor of the Ming Dynasty.

Without the prime minister, the emperor's power is really great.

Especially in his current state, he has won a big battle and has enough majesty.

Can decide almost everything in the court.

However, Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang completely abolished the prime minister at the beginning of the dynasty.

It is also written clearly in the ancestral precepts of Huang Ming Dynasty.

Later emperors of the Zhu family were not allowed to reinstate the prime minister.

This resulted in all the complicated and numerous state affairs falling on Li Shimin alone.

Compared with the Zhenguan years, his power was much greater.

It can be said to be a centralized power in the true sense, a noble existence above all others.

But the time spent dealing with government affairs was more than twice that of Zhenguan.

After the court got on track, Li Shimin spent most of his day reading the official documents and handling court affairs.

The whole person's energy is completely consumed in the endless government affairs.

What kind of life did Li Shimin live during the Zhenguan period?

After spending the most difficult ten years, he could hunt, travel, and have drinks and banquets with old nobles.

Now, it’s the court meeting, reading the excerpts, reading the excerpts, meeting the courtiers, and reading the excerpts.

Life is almost a three-point one.

The Fengtian Palace holds court meetings, the Wenhua Palace handles government affairs, and the Qianqing Palace sleeps.

Can Li Shimin endure it? He can’t!

So he called in the Wenyuan Pavilion bachelors, who were the ministers of the cabinet.

"I want to expand the number of cabinet candidates and select three more people to join the cabinet.

From now on, the number of cabinet members will remain at seven."

At first, the few academicians present were reluctant.

Originally, Wenyuan Pavilion was not big, so wouldn't it be a decentralization of power if a few more people came in?

But before they could object, Li Shimin continued.

"After all future memorials are sent to the cabinet, you should write down suggestions for handling them.

The Supervisor of Ceremonies will review it and stamp it before sending it to the Sixth Department for execution."

He didn't come up with the word"criticize red", but there was no difference in behavior. He temporarily divided his power between the cabinet and the ceremonial supervisor.

After a while, several extremely smart people in the cabinet immediately knelt on the ground.

"Your Majesty is wise!"

"Your Majesty, may you live forever!"

The voting system initiated by Zhu Zhanji, which was shelved after Wang Zhen's rebellion, once again appeared in the court of the Ming Dynasty.

Li Shimin did not know the future development, but his choice was the same as that of the subsequent emperors. Just rely on him One person cannot handle the political affairs of such a huge empire.

A simple imperial edict freed Li Shimin from the quagmire of political affairs.

With the existence of Xing'an and other eunuchs, he immediately had half of the time.

Come. Thinking about how to counterattack the grassland!

Yes, since the defense of the capital,

Li Shimin has always had the idea of ​​​​sweeping the grassland tribes.

Only by completely defeating them can the Ming Dynasty's borders be stable.

A series of reforms followed. There was no big disturbance.

However, half a month after the voting began,

Li Shimin suddenly fainted on the spot while discussing matters in the Fengtian Palace.

The minister who was still giving the report lowered his head and did not even notice it immediately.

But soon, the hall fell into a deathly silence.

Then there were the eunuchs shouting like crazy.

"Imperial physician! Pass on the imperial doctor!"

The news of fainting in front of dozens of courtiers quickly spread throughout the capital.

For an hour or two, Li Shimin still didn't wake up.

And the doctors were helpless and couldn't find any symptoms.

Yu Qian and others were worried They were all anxious and anxious, hoping that the emperor would wake up as soon as possible.

Nangong, Zhu Qizhen, who heard the news, could hardly contain the excitement in his heart.

God help me!
