The little eunuch shouted immediately alarmed everyone. The queen and the prince quickly walked into the house. Several imperial doctors on duty followed him in, and there were also a large number of eunuchs and palace maids. For a moment, the dormitory was filled with people, all of whom were staring at the emperor lying on the bed.

At this moment, the emperor had opened his eyes, his eyes were clear, not like a serious illness at all. People even felt that His Majesty was more energetic than usual.

"Your Majesty, you are awake. If you don't wake up, what should I do with Yi'er!" The queen came to the bed and said tremblingly.

The emperor looked at the queen and reached out to hold the queen's hand gently. The queen was shocked. Since the emperor believed in the Buddha, he had never touched her again, nor even other women.

"I have been deceived by the demon monks over the years, and it has really made you suffer!" The emperor said weakly, looking at the queen with apologetic look.

The queen's tears came down her cheeks and dripped down her cheeks.

"I'm not suffering." The queen said sadly.

"No, I know you're suffering, but I know it's too late now. I only have five days to live. If there is a next life, the queen will accompany me."

The queen was shocked, "Why did Your Majesty say this? Since Your Majesty has woken up, you will naturally be fine."

The emperor shook his head slightly, "It's only five days, and this is what I asked for with the City God. I came back just to explain my funeral."

"Time is limited. Now listen to me and immediately call the ministers in the court to Qianqing Palace. I have something to do."

"~~ But your Majesty, many ministers in the court suddenly died suddenly a few days ago." The queen said carefully, for fear of irritating the emperor.

The emperor smiled faintly, "I know that the City God has told me that forty-two people have died, the chief assistant Cheng Guoxiang has died, and four of the six ministers have died. Just die, and call the rest."

The queen was very surprised because the emperor was in a coma during this period and no one had told the emperor what was happening outside, and it was so detailed.

"Your Majesty, have you really met the City God?" the queen asked.

"I'll tell you, I'll tell you that the demon monk killed by the City God. The demon monk turned out to be a centipede demon. Okay, now I'll inform the ministers to come here. I still have a lot of things." The emperor said.

The queen immediately ordered someone to inform the ministers.

Turning his head to look at his son standing next to him, the emperor's eyes became much gentler, "Yi'er, from today on, you will be by your father's side for a moment, and the father has a lot to tell you,"

The eight-year-old prince nodded very sensible.

Not long after, Chen Yan led a group of officials to the Qianqing Palace. Everyone kowtowed to the emperor. The emperor leaned against the head of the bed and nodded to let the ministers get up. People looked at the emperor and felt that the emperor was in good spirits and thought the emperor was in good health.

The emperor swept over these ministers, and there were a total of forty-eight people. Although half of them were missing, with these teams in it, there would be no major trouble in the court.

The emperor took the lead in looking at Chen Yan and said, "Chen Yan, you were the secondary assistant before, but now I will promote you to the primary assistant and take charge of all affairs in the court."

Although Chen Yan had expected it, now that the emperor said it himself, he was still very happy and knelt down and kowtowed to thank him.

The emperor then announced the second incident, which surprised the ministers.

"The crime of pardoning the Henan Governor Xue Ji was not only innocent, but also made great contributions. Xue Ji was appointed as the second assistant, the Grand Secretary of Longtu Pavilion, and entered the court to do things."

Many people secretly thought that His Majesty has read the book too quickly. He wanted to put Xue Ji on the spot, but now he has become a meritorious minister.

Besides, even if he has made contributions, Xue Ji can only be promoted from the second-level to the second-level Shangshu. Now he has been promoted directly to the secondary assistant. This is a big change.

Chen Yan and Xue Ji had a close relationship and had a consistent political opinion. He was very happy that Chen Yan would be promoted to secondary support and immediately said, "Your Majesty, I will inform Xue Ji as soon as possible."

"Xue Ji is in the City God Temple in Juyongguan. Now I will draft an order and inform him overnight that I will see his people tomorrow morning." The emperor said.

Chen Yan was a little surprised. How did the emperor know that Xue Ji was in the City God Temple in the capital, but when he thought of the Jinyiwei and the two factories, perhaps it was the news they conveyed to His Majesty.

"I will handle this matter overnight." Chen Yan said.

Immediately afterwards, the emperor gave another order that everyone was incredible.

"Absolute Zhuge Wolong's crimes and posthumously conferred the title of Grand Secretary of Wenyuan Pavilion." The emperor said.

The ministers were all confused.

Some people didn't even think of who Zhuge Wolong was for a while.

Only some old people know that Zhuge Wolong was a minister during his tenure as emperor and later betrayed his life imprisonment. Why is the emperor now making up this old account?

Chen Yan had just taken over as the chief minister, so it was not good to refute the emperor now. Besides, it was just a posthumous award, not to let Zhuge Wolong return to the court to become an official, but it actually had no big impact at all.

"Now Zhuge Wolong is also in the City God Temple, and he issued an order to send it together." The emperor said.

Chen Yan immediately bowed, "It's Your Majesty, I will do this."

The emperor took a breath and continued, "The third article is to announce to the world that the title of Pudu Cihang National Master will be removed and the title of National Master will be designated as a demon monk, and the 12 meditation temples belonging to the National Master will be banned."

Hearing the emperor's order, Chen Yan couldn't help feeling warm. Although he was determined, he couldn't help feeling a burst of tears in his eyes and knelt on the ground.

"Your Majesty is wise!" Chen Yan shouted.

The others also knelt down, "Your Majesty is wise."

The emperor looked at the officials kneeling below, sighed and said, "I am on the verge of death this time. The deaths of the forty-two ministers are all due to the harm of the national master. The national master is a demon who practices only to steal the luck of the court. I am controlled by him and am confused all day long. However, a few days ago, the national master has been killed by the city god of the capital."

When the ministers heard about this for the first time, they were all surprised. Chen Yan asked, "How did Your Majesty know about this?"

"It was the City God of the Capital personally told me." The emperor said.

Next, the emperor made a series of personnel adjustments, including six ministries, various departments, governors of the 13 provinces in the world, governors, governors, inspectors, military commanders and generals from various ministries.

What should rise up, what should fall down.

The eight-year-old prince has been sitting next to the emperor, watching his father give orders with big eyes,

The emperor was paving the way for his son and educating him, just like the old lion teaching the little lion how to hunt.

When the ministers left, the queen brought a bowl of millet porridge, sat by the bed, and fed it to the emperor with spoonfuls. The emperor looked at the queen and was in a daze that the two of them returned to the sweetness of the wedding just now.

At night, the prince slept beside the emperor, hugging his son, and the emperor taught him the real "the way of the emperor".

"Yi'er is still young, it's too early to come into contact with these things. My father originally planned to teach you when you were twelve years old. How could he think that human calculations are worse than God's calculations? My father has not had much time to teach you now. I hope you can listen well. My father doesn't have the energy to say it again." The emperor said, touching his son's head.

The prince nodded vigorously, with tears in his eyes, "Father, my son must try to write it down."

The Emperor said slowly:

"The so-called emperor's arts include power and strategy, vertical and horizontal techniques, operation and planning methods, management methods, number of people reading, and human use techniques, etc. "Han Feizi" is a must-read study by emperors of all dynasties, and there are many classics, such as "Long and Short Sutra", the books in the father's study. From now on, there are many books that are not available in the library, and those are only read by the emperor."

The prince blinked and said, "No wonder when the father was finished, he asked the child to recite Han Feizi all over the article. So that's it. But why didn't his father mention the Confucian law just now?"

"Haha, in fact, the so-called emphasis on Confucianism is for outsiders to see, and is a means to govern the world. What our royal family values ​​the most is the Legalists, and the Confucian skin." The emperor said with a smile.

"In fact, it is extremely difficult to govern the world, and it is easy to say that it is easy. There are only three points: one is to make the people rich and obedient to the people, two is to the officials, how to make officials serve the court more effectively, and three is to oneself, how to consolidate one's own power, cultivate one's own virtues, and balance various political forces so as not to be threatened by other political forces."

"How to solve these three aspects and what strategies to adopt? Han Feizi solves this problem in one trinity of "law", "art" and "momentum".

"Did you always think that your father is a foolish person, not as hard-working as those wise monarchs written in history books?" The emperor turned to look at his son.

The prince blinked his eyes and pursed his lips.

The emperor laughed twice.

"It seems that, for my father, it's not that easy to be an emperor. The emperor, but there is no real son of heaven, but he is just a mortal. Sometimes human power is poor, and the emperor cannot do anything."

"But the emperor can do nothing else, and he must know how to use people. In the end, the world must be governed by officials."

"For emperors, one person is the heaven, with great power in control, judge the situation, use everything, use people to their talents, be generous to accommodate the world, and have broad minds to embrace all rivers. In fact, to put it bluntly, emperors should have courage and eloquence, not necessarily knowledge, but they cannot lack common sense, and may not be able to do it, but they must be good at using people and be good at attracting people's hearts."

The prince blinked his eyes and said in a crisp voice: "Father, I read a sentence in the book "People's Records" by Liu Shao of the Three Kingdoms, " "Minist is capable of taking responsibility, and the king is capable of using people!" This is what the father said?"

The emperor was very happy, "My son is so smart. That's what he meant. Can you memorize the whole paragraph?"

"Yes, 'Minist is capable of responsibilities, the king is capable of utilizing people; the minister is capable of speaking, the king is capable of listening; the minister is capable of acting, the king is capable of rewarding and punishing. The ability is different, so it is capable of lords and many talents."

After reciting this sentence, the prince suddenly became a little stunned and looked at the emperor and said, "Father, my son finally understands why you are sitting on the dragon throne and watching the ministers quarreling and stop talking. 'My ministers are capable of speaking, and the king is capable of listening.'"

The emperor smiled with relief. Being admired and understood by his son was the most happy thing for his father, and he gained a full sense of accomplishment.
