Emperor Zhenguan

Chapter 875
On the last day of the year-end, Li Chengzhao finally breathed a sigh of relief. Because of being reprimanded by his mother and impeached by the censor, he calmed down a lot and stopped going out to visit the people in private.And his father also asked him to listen to the reports of the governors of various places. This time, he didn't need to hide behind the screen, but sat in the side seat openly, listening to the reports of the governors of various places, and watched how his father handled government affairs.

Taiji Hall, Fengming Pavilion.

"The flood season is approaching, and if you have no intention of resisting and causing suffering to the people, but also cover up your incompetence and cover up the news without authorization, you deserve to die!"

Following Li Zhiyun's order, several guards dragged the dejected governor of Weizhou and other places away.From time to time, those dereliction of duty governors could still be heard yelling for mercy from His Majesty.

As for the other governors who were waiting to report their duties outside the attic, their hearts tensed up, and they hurriedly went through all the affairs in their jurisdiction in their minds.Emperor Zhenguan is not easy to be fooled. So far, I haven't heard of anyone who can do something wrong and escape under the emperor's hands.

Inside the pavilion, Li Zhiyun's face was not very good-looking, with a hint of anger in his tiredness.The prosperous Tang Dynasty has come, and many low-level officials have begun to relax their vigilance, take bribes, and be jealous of the virtuous and capable, causing harm to the people everywhere.

Among them, the south and other places are the most serious.

Prince Li Chengzhao's complexion was tense, and he peeked at his father from time to time, but he was also full of energy in his heart, watching, studying, and listening carefully.

Under the rule of the Tang Dynasty, there were hundreds of prefectures. Li Zhiyun has been listening to the reports of more than forty governors from various places in the past few days.In addition, there is also the general of the governor's office, Chang Shi, who is about to return to Beijing to report on his duties.

In summary, time is short and tasks are heavy.

Li Zhiyun knew this well, but Li Chengzhao was a little overwhelmed when he met him for the first time. After all, he was still a teenager, and his thinking was not so mature, so he could barely keep up with his father's thinking rhythm.

"Can you hold it?" Li Zhiyun asked his son.

Li Chengzhao nodded, "My child is okay."

"Okay." After Li Zhiyun finished speaking, he glanced at Gao Liangzhong.The latter understood, and quickly bowed and walked out.

"It is said that the four governors of Xiangzhou, Lizhou, Weizhou, and Jeju have an audience!"

Hearing this, the governors took a deep breath, bowed their bodies, followed Gao Liangzhong into the cabinet, and prepared to report on their duties.

This work lasted until the afternoon, and Li Zhiyun had just met all the governors of more than [-] prefectures in Hebei Province.Among them, if you do well, you will naturally be rewarded and promoted, and if you do not well, you will be sentenced to serious crimes depending on the circumstances.Misdemeanor light punishment, felony decapitation.

Snapped.

After closing the document, Li Zhiyun gently leaned against the paper.

"Send it for filing."

"Yes." Several servants left holding the files.They are not qualified to file, and the ones who really file are the assistant officials of the three provinces.

Li Chengzhao is also haggard and exhausted. These days, he followed his father to listen to the reports of governors in various places. It is not as simple as simply listening. He has to check the past situation of various places from time to time, as well as institutions such as the Yushitai, the Ministry of Officials, the Ministry of Civil Affairs, and the Ministry of Punishment. sent information.

Gollum.

He swallowed softly, but made a sound in the quiet room.

Li Zhiyun opened his eyes slightly and looked at his son, "If you feel tired, go back and rest earlier."

"What about the father?"

"After the meal later, I will have an interview with the governors of the states along the Hedong Road."

Li Chengzhao said: "The child is not tired."

"Really not tired?" Li Zhiyun asked with a smile.

Li Chengzhao hesitated slightly, then nodded, and said honestly: "The boy is actually very tired, but the boy can still persist."

"Okay, you are going to have dinner with me later."

"Yes."

After the father and son finished their meal, they turned on the working mode again.The end of the year is often the busiest time for the imperial court, because the situation in various places has to be summarized and archived, and the administration of officials has to be assessed. Except for a small number of Qingshui yamen, the other ministries are actually very busy.The end of the Dachaohui does not mean that the officials are completely on vacation.

At night, Li Zhiyun just finished his work.

"Go back and have a good rest. Tomorrow, there will be governors of various states in Henan Province waiting to meet you." Li Zhiyun ordered and returned to the harem.

"My son respectfully sends the father to the emperor."

Li Chengzhao bowed and respectfully sent his father away, then stood where he was and let out a long breath.

"His Royal Highness, may I ask whether we should go back to the East Palace or King Qi's Mansion?" asked the little servant who was waiting on him.

King Qi's mansion is still preserved, and Li Zhiyun has not taken it back, it is regarded as a house given to the prince.

Li Chengzhao said: "Today is too late, go to the East Palace to rest."

"Yes."

In fact, Li Chengzhao didn't particularly like living and studying in the East Palace, and always felt uncomfortable.Perhaps because of the frequent private visits to the people, he felt that staying in the East Palace always felt too far away from the people, and he couldn't keep abreast of the people's affairs.

What made him happy was that his father did not forbid him to live outside because of Yu Shi's impeachment.

On the way back, thinking of his father's workload today, Li Chengzhao suddenly remembered an incident he had encountered in Zhaozhou, Hebei Province.

"How is your relationship with your father?" Li Chengzhao suddenly asked the servant next to him.That man was very young, only a little older than the crown prince, and he was of ordinary birth.This person is quite diligent in doing things and knows how to measure, so he was selected by Li Chengzhao to stay by his side to serve him.

In the past, when he was the prince and King Qi, there were seven or eight servants around him, but after he was canonized as the crown prince, the others were all driven away by him for various reasons.Some used his crown prince's prestige to bully others, and some took bribes. Li Chengzhao took a firm attitude towards such people, and drove them away with a strong attitude regardless of the friendship he had served for many years.

The servant didn't expect the crown prince to ask such a question. He thought, "When the servant girl entered the palace, she was very young and didn't remember much. I only vaguely remember that the family is very poor, and there are a few older sisters and older brothers. My parents can't afford it." We, therefore, sent the servants into the palace to serve the Heavenly Family. As for the father, the servants can no longer remember his appearance."

Li Chengzhao didn't finish speaking, and walked quietly.During his private visit to Zhaozhou, Hebei Province, he once lived in a farmhouse. There were five people in that family, including an old mother and two children. Some surplus food.

The reason why he remembered this matter was because the father of the child in that family also worked every day at sunrise and rested at sunset, sometimes he had to take care of the fish in the pond, and never returned home at night.

In this respect, he was very similar to his own father.

That family is for raising a small family, while my father is for everyone in the world.Although they cannot be compared, there are still some similarities between the two.

It can be said that it is the father who is working hard for the family.

Father is so busy, in fact, it is also for Tang Sheji, for the royal family, and for him.

"When you go back, remind Gu to read."

During this period of time, he followed his father to watch the government, and now he has very little time for himself, so he can only find a way to squeeze in and continue to study.

"Yes." The waiter said.

On the other side, Li Zhiyun returned to the harem to thank Concubine Yin De.Generally speaking, there is an unwritten rule for Li Zhiyun to be a concubine in the harem.The queen has the most number of times and can account for half of the time, followed by the fifth concubine, and then other women.Those with children will naturally have more opportunities, while those without children can only stay in vacant rooms.

This is something that can't be helped, there is only one Li Zhiyun.

The good news is that the emperor is very brave and can feed Linxing's concubine every time.
