The first legitimate son of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 235 Only fools can become emperors
Li An and Li Duoduo lived in the palace for half a month, and Li Duoduo was very happy during this period. Not only did he get the love of Li Shimin and Queen Changsun, Li Zhi and Li Mingda could also see each other every day, and they also received a The younger brother is Li Xin, Li Tai’s son.

But happiness is always short-lived. After Empress Changsun recovered, Li An and Li Duoduo left. As agreed at the beginning, people outside only knew that Li An was going to treat Empress Changsun, and nothing else. known.

Of course, there are also some people who know the inside story, such as Li Lizhi and her consort Chang Sun Chong. These two people have seen the exact same portraits of Li An and Li Shimin when they were young. This time Li An stayed in the palace for half a month, and later Judging from Changsun Wuji's strange behavior after returning, the two people concluded that Li An should be married to Li Shimin and Queen Changsun.

However, the two of them were very surprised as to why they had recognized their marriage but not announced it. They had been waiting for it, but when Li An left the palace, they did not receive any news.

"Li An left the palace today?" Changsun Chong ran back to the mansion happily and told Li Lizhi the news of Li An leaving the palace.

Li Lizhi was drawing her eyebrows, but after listening to Chang Sun Chong's words, her eyebrows were drawn crookedly. However, she didn't care at all. Instead, she immediately turned her head and looked at Chang Sun Chong and asked in surprise: "How is it possible for the two of us? Did you all guess wrong?"

Changsun Chong sat down and analyzed: "The two of us must have guessed correctly, and we have evidence. The last time my father was weird only happened after Li An entered the palace, so Li An's identity cannot be wrong.

If Li An's identity is correct, then it should be his father's concern. "

"What worries does the emperor have?" Li Lizhi didn't understand very well.

"Prince!" Changsun Chong looked at his silly wife and smiled slightly: "The eldest son is not the prince, do you think this will be a good thing? The Tang Dynasty has finally been able to develop stably. If such a thing suddenly happens, what will happen again? It became troublesome.”

"Ah, so that's it, but it's unfair to Li An. He is a lost prince. He has entered the palace but cannot announce it to the public. What is this?" Li Lizi felt a little grievance for Li An.

"Little fool, in front of Datang, all personal gains and losses must make way for Datang. However, Li An is indeed a bit unfair. He should have been the prince because he is the eldest son, but now...!" Changsun Chong shook his head.

Li Lizhi also felt sorry for Li An, but they didn't know that Li An didn't want the title of eldest son, let alone the position of prince. This emperor was not made by humans.

In people's minds, the emperor is a beautiful man who controls the life and death of countless people in the world.This is an illusion. The emperor is not as beautiful as everyone imagines. Not to mention the endless political affairs he handles every day, he also has to prevent someone from usurping the throne at all times.

Someone has made statistics and found that 2000 emperors emerged in feudal society in more than 408 years, and their average life span was about 39.2 years.The average life span of the ancients was short, but the emperor had the best medical care, which shows that the emperor was not easy to be.Emperors in costume dramas always flirt with their concubines, which is also an illusion. For example, Kangxi suffered from exhaustion and bleeding when he was studying.

Li An is someone who has been here before. He knows that he is not a foolish emperor and will definitely work for the welfare of the people. He must know that an emperor who is not a foolish emperor will die from exhaustion.

You can take a look at the day schedule of the emperor Li Shimin: Many people think that getting up at five or six o'clock is already their limit, but for Li Shimin, he would start changing clothes fashionably at the fourth watch.

But after he got up as an emperor, everything had been taken care of by his servants. For example, when he was changing clothes, someone helped him comb his hair and trim his beard (Li Shimin's beard was particularly difficult to trim and it took a long time). ), he started to drink tea and breakfast after finishing grooming. There are clear rules for each day's diet, and each dish cannot be tasted for more than three mouthfuls. If it exceeds three mouthfuls, then the dish will be eaten in ten and a half days. There is no way for the month to be served and reappear.

Every day of Li Shimin's life was very grand and solemn.

After he has breakfast, he will get dressed, put on shoes and wear dragon robes with the help of his palace attendants.When everything was ready, he went to the palace to attend the morning court.

Some people will say that you Li Shimin got up early, but the people who served him got up earlier. The emperor worked very hard, and the people around the emperor would work even harder, because when he went to the palace to attend the morning dynasty, there were 12 people on horseback. The elder eunuchs came to carry him to escort him. He was still unable to walk, so he had to get into a yellow sedan and be carried into the palace.This is right and wrong, why... Because there is only one emperor, and there are thousands of people serving him. Those people can change shifts, and they don't focus on one person. But can the emperor change?

After Li Shimin arrived at the palace, every morning morning meeting would be carried out step by step, and serious and heavy rituals would be performed every day.There must be more specifications and systems.

After the morning dynasty, these ministers could return to their homes or go to their jobs to start the day's work, but Li Shimin was different. Li Shimin had to go all the way south to the next palace.

When he arrived at the palace, it was almost noon. Li Shimin had a short rest. During the rest, he had to change out of the clothes he put on in the morning and put on another set of clothes.

But he couldn't eat because he had to perform a sacrificial ceremony before eating.At this time, he could no longer sit in a sedan chair and had to walk on foot to show his piety to the place of sacrifice.

After getting rid of the sacrificial activities and returning to his palace, the imperial doctor had been waiting in the palace for a long time.

Every day the emperor's body was diagnosed and recorded.It was their responsibility to prescribe some tonics and take good care of Li Shimin's health. After prescribing some medicines, these prescriptions were also managed and dispensed by specialized people.

After the medicine was boiled, the imperial doctor had to taste it before giving it to the emperor to drink, in order to avoid the possibility of poisoning.

After drinking the medicine, Li Shimin was able to take a short lunch break. We modern people usually take a lunch break after lunch, but the ancient emperors took a lunch break first and then had lunch. After lunch, they entered the imperial dining room for lunch.

After lunch, I started to work in the afternoon. There was also a court meeting at noon, and local affairs were carefully handled.

Many people think that after the work is over, it should be evening, but in fact, the highlight will be after the meeting is over.

It can be seen that the emperor has done a lot of things before this. After the meeting, special staff will inform the emperor what work he should do next.Usually after everything is handled properly, he will go to the bad person to supervise the person secretly and ask some questions that he cares about.

After asking questions, he will go to inspect the work of other departments. After finishing these tasks, he can think about his family happiness and see his children and grandchildren.

Accompany them for a while, read with them, study with them, and teach and guide them.

Li Shimin's every minute and second was very precious. During dinner, he would still use the meal time to summon several ministers to discuss local affairs.

He would even review the table while eating, and after eating, he would summon some important ministers to deal with some urgent matters.And by the time these things are dealt with, it's usually late at night.After a busy day of work, the eunuchs would bring a bowl of medicine to urge the emperor to sleep.This night must be the end of his day, so that he can be served, undressed and ready to rest.

This does not end in one day, but is a cycle every day. Do you want to be such an emperor?

Of course, if you want to be a fool, that's a different matter.
