Some days when I am busy, Xiao Ruxun has to deal with more than 200 memorials, and even when there are fewer, there are still 1230 items to deal with by the State Council.

When he encounters difficult problems with different opinions from the cabinet ministers, he has to make a decision himself, and he really has to squeeze out the time for dinner.

At this time, he truly felt how hard and tiring the emperor who held absolute power was.

I also truly felt what Zhu Yuanzhang felt when he wrote that limerick poem.

I got up before all the officials got up, but all the officials got asleep. I was not as good as a wealthy man in the south of the Yangtze River. He was still surrounded by a quilt with a height of five feet.

When he was very tired of handling government affairs, he smiled bitterly and read this poem to Wang Xijue, Li Tingji, Ye Xianggao, and expressed his tiredness and longing for rest.

However, this is just a sigh. If anyone thinks that Zhu Yuanzhang is too tired and feels that he needs to divide power to others, it is a big mistake.

Everyone knows that a real man cannot be without power for a day, let alone the emperor.

In order to take this tired power in hand, Zhu Yuanzhang defeated countless competitors, launched eight Northern Expeditions to expel the Mongols from the Central Plains, and then killed countless ministers, killing more than one million people.

In order to take this tired power in hand, Xiao Ruxun launched one class to overthrow the other whole class, killing people, and will continue to kill in the future until death.

They have mastered this hard-won power by standing on the sea of ​​corpses and blood, and they must have obtained this power by standing on the sea of ​​corpses and blood. Except for the emperor standing on the sea of ​​corpses and blood, no emperor can obtain this power.

Not to mention that the emperor is in love with power, even in modern times, many of those business tycoons get up earlier than chickens and sleep later than ghosts. They will never delegate their power.

Any elite person has always insufficient rest time and entertainment time, and it is the same in any era and anywhere.

Those rich men in Jiangnan are still hiding?

The higher the status, the more important the position, the greater the power, the less time you have to belong to you, or even almost nothing.

Except for retired people and abnormal people, even an ordinary person who goes to work and school does not have the right to sleep in every day. If you want to do this, you will not retire.

Not to mention the emperor of this era.

So the emperor can complain or joke, but if the ministers believe it, they are purely seeking death.

Many ministers have been working with Xiao Ruxun for more than a year, and they know exactly what Xiao Ruxun is.

The Iron Blood Emperor is just like this.

If you have any questions, you can discuss them, but who dares to question after making a decision and who wants to sing a different tune with the emperor, then you have to think about whether your head is still in the future.

This is just the emperor's self-mockery. To put it more modern and vulgar, this is called pretentiousness.

But this is not simply showing off. Generally speaking, people who are incompetent brag for the sake of face. But the emperor pretends to behave, which is the product of the vanity that has expanded to an unparalleled vanity after being truly extremely proud.

This is a kind of substantial show-off, not a complaint.

This is the feeling after extreme comfort, not the complaint.

This is what the emperor who has enjoyed the joy of paradise can only express and express.

In other words, the emperor enjoyed it.

Zhu Yuanzhang wrote this limerick in extreme comfort.

Similarly, it is the same when it comes to Xiao Ruxun.

He was very tired, it was true, very tired, very tired, and wanted to rest, but at the same time, he was very happy, so happy that he could not be added to his current happiness. Nothing happy things in the world combined together cannot be compared with his current happiness.

You have to nodify everything by yourself, and you have to make arbitrary decisions in any major national affairs. If you don’t nod, no one dares to do anything. If you stomp your feet, the whole world will shake, and if you sneeze, the whole court will be worried.

A casual look can make a person restless all day, and even make him suspicious of his schizophrenia.

A random sentence can make countless people guess the meaning of the inside and make them worried.

A random imperial edict can allow civil and military officials in the court to predict the future direction of the court, and make them move around like their own puppets.

With a casual finger, countless loyal dogs rushed forward, following their orders, fighting, robbing, and dying.

Holding the real power of life and death, holding everyone's lifeline, playing with everything in the world, this feeling is really...

The joy of paradise.

He has truly felt the joy of holding power now, now, and now.

And almost addicted to it.

He clearly understood why people could give up everything for power.

If he had not understood the direction of history more clearly and understood that all this was just a castle in the air, he would have been completely addicted to it and become the second Zhu Yuanzhang, governing the Qin Dynasty into a strengthened version of the Ming Dynasty, and in two or three hundred years later, a revolution, or two, and then collapsed.

Because this is so happy.

Too happy.

Therefore, the wise minister was clear about this and could not clearly read the Taizu volume of "Ming Shilu" to almost predict Xiao Ruxun's behavior pattern.

Xiao Ruxun complained a little, but they didn't dare to take it seriously. If they said something, "Your Majesty is so tired, why don't you let me share the burden for you? I'm really worried about Your Majesty's body, then you can wait for the head to land.

Being with the king is like a tiger. The emperor's heart is under the sea, especially an excellent emperor. His thoughts are not comparable to ordinary women.

That's even more so now.

They are also often subjected to intentional or unintentional "test" like Emperor Xiao. They have to be careful every time they deal with it, for fear that the emperor would be dissatisfied with what he said wrongly, so they just rubbed them down.

Now the emperor wants to kill whom he wants to kill is even easier than Zhu Yuanzhang.

So they always use the allusion of "comfort" Xiao Ruxun to lament that Emperor Taizong of Tang lamented that he had lost weight.

Your Majesty is indeed tired, but if Your Majesty is so diligent, the people will definitely be relieved.

He is really good at speaking and is really smart. Daqin needs such smart people.

Xiao Ruxun laughed and told them to continue to go back to do things, not being lazy. He was in charge of food and fullness, but whoever was lazy would have no food to eat.

After the Ganqing Palace became the emperor's office, the cabinet master and the emperor worked in the same office. When they encountered problems, they directly discussed and dealt with each other. Xiao Ruxun could also monitor their work and cabinet staff at close range.

At the same time, it is also convenient to make a relatively complete estimate of the abilities and potential of some people, and then directly see who have stronger abilities and potential, can take over important positions in the future, or even eventually enter the cabinet to do business.

There is no rule for the Hanlin to enter the cabinet of the Qin Dynasty. The Hanlin Academy is now just a miscellaneous official office for writing books and history. Under the arrangement of Xiao Ruxun, a large number of old scholars who were idle and had nothing to do and began to compile the "History of Ming Dynasty".

It turned out that the Hanlin people in it killed and demoted them before and after the founding of the Qin Dynasty. Those who were talented and able to stand with Xiao Ruxun were basically transferred to major departments for work, and only some old and sour scholars were left in the Hanlin Academy.

There is really no reason to kill, and I don’t want to be annoyed by them, and I don’t want to be criticized for driving them away and leaving them nowhere to find a stove, so I just stayed and let them do some chores.

Later, the officials in the cabinet must be admitted to the merits from the underground service department. Anyone has the possibility of entering the cabinet, and any official has the possibility of eventually becoming the imperial minister or even the imperial chief minister. The rule that non-Hanlin is allowed to enter the cabinet was completely abolished by Xiao Ruxun.

At present, young officials who have entered the cabinet will be sent to local governments, or even remote places in the future, gradually transferred back to the central government in the future according to their respective political achievements, and presided over all operations of the empire, which will continue to occur from generation to generation.

The future of the empire is coming step by step.
