Valley Emperor
Vol 2 Chapter 1126: Being emperor is dangerous
The whole empire knows that the Son of Heaven is very busy every day. In the Tang Dynasty Daily, almost every issue will report what meeting the Son of Heaven has held and who he has summoned. Judging from these reports, it is almost possible to get He came to a conclusion that the Son of Heaven was busy working twenty-four hours a day, working for the empire and for the well-being of the people.
And is this a fact?
Of course not, Li Xuan is not a robot that does not need rest, and it is impossible to continue to work continuously at high intensity.
In the early years before the reunification, Li Xuan did not dare to be distracted. He was busy with government affairs every day, from morning to night, basically without interruption.
After the reunification, the pressure was not so great, and with the gradual improvement of various systems, Li Xuan no longer had to hold everything in his hands as before.
Today, he basically maintains the rhythm of working seven or eight hours a day, and taking a day off every few days. Generally, he is similar to the office workers of later generations, with nine to five weekends.
However, for an emperor, his work intensity is still considered to be a very diligent one among the many emperors in history. Even if he can't compare with the workaholics like Qin Shihuang and Zhu Yuanzhang, Li Xuan is not far behind.
To a certain extent, in fact, the founding emperors or some of the second and third generations of emperors who have experienced hegemony wars are mostly diligent. This is not because they are born workaholics, but they are more aware of the importance of things and know that they can unite The world is not easy, and it is clearer that there are countless people who want to rebel and must always be on guard.
However, except for the founding, second- and third-generation monarchs who have experienced the unification war for hegemony, or the emperors who have experienced the rejuvenation of the mid-dynasty rebellion, most of the other emperors have no such consciousness.
They will be deceived by the illusion that they are emperors, born to rule the country, and that everyone else should be subservient, and hedonism will follow.
This is also an important reason why in history, most emperors were not good birds!
Strictly speaking, Li Xuan was not the founding emperor of the Tang Empire. He was only the second-generation emperor. The founding emperor was his father, Li Erbi, who was also Emperor Taizu Wu of the Tang Empire.
But almost the entire Tang Dynasty regarded Li Xuan as the actual founding emperor!
Even if the officials of the Tang Empire covered up and revised the early history of the empire and touted Lear, but one thing could not be changed, that is, before Li Xuan ascended the throne, the Tang Empire was about to collapse. There are only dozens of subjects, and they are still on the run.
It was Li Xuan who led the imperial subjects to Huangzhushan, and then created the Huangzhushan era, which is of great significance in the history of the empire!
Although it is very important to praise Lear, it is even more important to praise the current saint!
Therefore, the history of the Huangzhu Mountain and Xingquan Mansion in the early period of the empire's history is full of books!
At the beginning of His Majesty's ascension to the throne, a series of wars, such as leading the army to expedition to Shuilong Village, were all recorded in official history. Of course, there was a little artistic processing when recording.
As for true or false, to be honest, apart from Liu Bagou and a few other parties at the time, no one knew about it, and the few who knew would be buried deep in their hearts by these things, because the early In history, it is not only Li Xuan, the Son of Heaven, Liu Bagou, Qian Mengjiu and other servants of the dragon in the Huangzhushan era who have been beautified, but also beautified.
In this way, no one will stand up and say:
"Who said that I fought hundreds of rounds of fights with the counterfeit Ming army. This is definitely a rumor. I never fought with them back then. When facing the Ming army's encirclement and suppression, I was obviously frightened."
The truth of the early history, in fact, until now, few people can tell clearly, and in a few decades, when the older generation is dead, what future generations will know can only be officially written. History is gone!
As for true or false? Does that matter?
This kind of early history has also created a very special status for Li Xuan. Although he is the second-generation emperor, whoever does not regard him as the second-generation emperor regards him as the founding emperor.
As a nominal second-generation emperor, and the actual founding emperor, Li Xuan naturally knew very well that even if he unified the whole of China, he still couldn't let go.
After all, the emperor is a high-risk profession. I won’t talk about it too long. I just say that Li Xuan’s father Li Erbi died at the hands of the Ming army. The Zhengde emperor of the Ming Dynasty was defeated and committed suicide by drinking poisonous wine. , Zhengde's eldest son, Emperor Shaowu, the last emperor of the Ming Dynasty recognized by the Tang Dynasty, set himself on fire in the Golden Palace when Youzhou City was breached.
The third son of Zhengde, King Jing also proclaimed himself emperor in Sichuan. Finally, when King Datang approached the city, his head was beheaded by his army as a capital for surrender.
The sixth son of Zhengde, King Hui proclaimed himself emperor in Liaodong, and finally fled to the Korean Peninsula. After the Tang Dynasty entered the Korean Peninsula, he committed suicide in Liujing City in despair!
None of the above-mentioned people died peacefully, regardless of whether they were killed or committed suicide, they all had the same one.
The characteristic is that it is defeated and killed!
When an emperor, his empire collapses, and there is absolutely no possibility of him being able to continue to live, whether it is because others do not let him live or because his inner pride does not allow him to live.
When the emperor is so dangerous, Li Xuan naturally does not want to let himself become one of the above people.
So these years, Li Xuan is still firmly in power, and this, naturally, it is impossible to make himself really relaxed, even if it is only 9 to 5, and a day off every few days, but it will be like this year after year. Tired.
In this way, in fact, the Tang Dynasty newspaper said that Li Xuan was very busy, but it was not a lie.
And Li Xuan, who is so busy, his working time is naturally incomparably precious, and most of the people who can allow Li Xuan to squeeze out his precious working time to summon are important ministers of the empire.
Usually, these are only from the second-rank or higher ministers, that is, the rank of servants, governors, and higher rank of ministers.
Summoning the director, this kind of third-rank officials, also does not say too many times!
When summoning the third-rank director, he also saw a fourth-rank deputy director, which was even more rare.
However, Xie Yiwei could use a report to successfully bring himself into the Royal Courtyard and wait for the Son of Heaven to summon him. To be honest, even though he is now in the Royal Courtyard, Chen Lifu still feels a little uncomfortable. too real.
At the same time, I admire this Xie Yiwei even more. This person has more means than he expected.
However, Xie Yiwei probably didn't care much about Chen Lifu's thoughts. He sat quietly by the side and didn't say a single word. He only stood up when the secretariat came in and asked them to face the Holy Spirit. !
Now, they are going to the Holy Son's office to meet with the Holy Spirit and report on the securities reform.
Following a third-class secretary of the secretariat, when he went to the office of the Son of Heaven, Chen Lifu's footsteps were relatively steady and his mood was relatively calm. Although he was only a deputy director of the fourth rank, he was still an old official. , under a signature pen, I do not know how many people were killed.
So now, he can still hold on to such a scene!
But for some unknown reason, when they followed the third secretary in front to the door of the Son of Heaven's office, Chen Lifu's heartbeat involuntarily stirred up.
He listened to the secretary sing aloud: "Xie Xie Yiwei and Chen Lifu for an audience!"
At this time, as if something was blocked in his chest, he instantly felt suffocated!
After waiting for the thick office door in front of him to be opened, he glanced inside, but the light in Li Xuan's office was very bright, and the corridor where they were before was darker. , When Chen Lifu looked inside, he couldn't see anything at first glance, he could only see a vague figure sitting behind a desk by the window, which looked extremely dazzling under the light, but what exactly did it look like? Like, but it's not real.
This is the unique design of Li Xuan's office. Basically, as long as the weather is good and the sun is full, every person who comes to face the saint will see such a scene at first sight.
Shocked or not, it is hard to say whether it will produce a sacred feeling, but it must be so dazzling that people can't see clearly at first glance, and sometimes the sun is so strong that people can't open their eyes at first sight.
At this time, Chen Lifu also experienced this feeling, and at this moment, he was a little stunned in place.
Xie Yiwei next to him calmly and gently pulled him with his hand, so that Chen Lifu would follow him into the office.
This is not the first time Xie Yiwei has come here. When he was appointed as the provincial inspector in Zhejiang, he came to see Li Xuan once as usual. Li Xuan had an audience in Xuan's office.
So his reaction is to be normal!
After taking Chen Lifu in, they took two steps, and then they bowed and saluted according to etiquette!
"Chen Xie Yiwei meets my emperor, long live, long live, long live!"
"Chen Lifu, I meet my emperor, long live, long live, long live!"
The two of them opened their mouths to pray and see each other~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Of course, it was not the kneeling worship. In the Tang Dynasty under the rule of Li Xuan, although it was said that the kneeling worship was not abolished, it is not necessary to kneel and worship in daily occasions. .
When people see officials, and when lower officials see upper officials, it is forbidden to bow down and bow down instead.
When officials face the saint, they usually use this kind of bowing, but this is only normal. If it is a formal court meeting or some other formal ceremonial occasions, it is still necessary to bow down.
The exception is for military generals. When wearing military uniforms, military salutes are always used instead of kneeling. However, if they are not wearing military uniforms, they need to kneel and worship.
After the salute, these two people were able to get used to the light, and then they could see Li Xuan's appearance clearly!
