In Wei Zheng's study.
At this moment.
Only Li Shimin and Wei Zheng were there.
Wei Zheng couldn't figure out why Li Shimin would come to him at this time. Moreover, he had left the palace without permission and disappeared for half a day at night!
Li Shimin didn't say anything. He just flipped through the thick documents on the desk and couldn't help but feel a little emotional.
"Wei Zheng! I've wronged you today! "
"I really know why you're here today, but I feel that your honest words are unpleasant to the ears. I've been muddle-headed!"
Wei Zheng was stunned.
He had thought of many reasons why the Emperor would come, but he didn't expect the Emperor to say such a thing!
At this moment, Li Shimin continued, "Today, I've come here for three things!"
"First, from now on, you're free to read all the memorials and documents submitted by the Secretariat and other departments!"
Wei Zheng was stunned.
It was like a bolt from the blue.
He even wondered if he had heard it wrong.
Wei Zheng couldn't help but look up at Li Shimin in confusion.
"I didn't accept my fate on the spur of the moment. If you think there's anything wrong, you can tell me!"
"Today, I did leave the palace, but after sitting for an afternoon, I happened to hear some good words!"
"With the mirror as a mirror, you can correct your clothes! With history as a mirror, you can know the rise and fall! With people as a mirror, you can know the gains and losses! "
"I feel that this priceless advice was bestowed upon the two of us by the heavens!"
"Therefore, I've decided, and I'll announce it to the world in the morning court tomorrow! What I lack is a minister like you who can advise me directly! If everyone around me is like you, the Tang Dynasty will definitely surpass the Qin Emperor and the Han Dynasty! "
Li Shimin even stood up when he spoke of his excitement.
At this moment, Wei Zheng was already in tears.
The Emperor finally understood!
To be able to say such words, it meant that his previous advice had been effective!
What kind of blessing was this for the common people of the world?
Although his current position was only the Secretary, if it was really like what Li Shimin said at this time, then his power … …
Wei Zheng immediately knelt down.
"Your Majesty! This old official is terrified! "
"This old subject …"
"What? Do you think my resignation this time is child's play? Do you want me to issue an edict now for the officials to come and bear witness? "
Li Shimin pretended to be unhappy and said.
Wei Zheng was scared out of his wits.
He hurriedly waved his hands.
"No, no, no, this old official, this old official is not … This old official feels that … how can he be qualified to take on such a heavy responsibility!"
Wei Zheng was so anxious that tears streamed down his face.
He knew what this decision meant.
This meant that the Emperor had completely taken him as his confidant!
After seeing the displeasure on Li Shimin's face.
Wei Zheng hurriedly knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Li Shimin.
"This old subject thanks Your Majesty for your kindness!"
"This old subject swears that I will not disappoint Your Majesty! I will sacrifice my life for Your Majesty! "
"This old subject has repeatedly spoken out and talked back to Your Majesty in public. Not only did Your Majesty not punish me, but Your Majesty thinks so highly of me. This old subject is terrified!"
"This old subject is terrified! This old subject is terrified! "
"This old subject …"
As he spoke, Wei Zheng's voice was choked with sobs.
Looking at Wei Zheng, Li Shimin did not feel good, but he also thought of what Zhang Feng said before.
He could not help but have mixed feelings.
He was even more glad that he came to see Wei Zheng tonight.
He was also glad that he was able to meet Zhang Feng in the marketplace. If it wasn't for the fact that Zhang Feng was able to say these words today, perhaps he would still be pondering whether or not to dismiss Wei Zheng …
Thinking of this, Li Shimin could not help but sigh in his heart.
Fortunately, the Tang Dynasty had a genius like Zhang Feng and a minister like Wei Zheng. If he could not surpass the Emperor of the Han Dynasty, then he, Li Shimin, would really let down the people of the world!
"Well, my dear minister, you don't have to be like this. In the future, if I do something wrong, you can do what you should do! But today, I will give you a secret order! "
As he spoke.
Li Shimin's tone suddenly changed.
He became majestic again.
"I order you to rest at the hour of the evening from now on. Otherwise, I will punish you for your great disrespect!"
As soon as he entered the study, Li Shimin understood everything.
Although he did not know what time Wei Zheng worked every night, judging from the thickness of these documents, it was definitely not less than midnight!
In the long run, how could Wei Zheng, who was already old, stand it?
He did not want to lose a minister like Wei Zheng who could advise him!
And he was someone who could get such a high evaluation from Zhang Feng.
Hearing this, Wei Zheng could not help but be stunned, "Your Majesty! You can't do this! The Tang Dynasty has just been stabilized, and the drought in Longyou Road is serious, I... "
"I have made up my mind on this matter! Don't talk about it anymore! Later, I will order Wei Shuyu to supervise this matter. If this matter is not finished, there is still tomorrow. Why do you have to do this? Your health is more important! "
Li Shimin interrupted Wei Zheng, but his voice suddenly softened as he said the last few words.
He knew Wei Zheng's stubbornness, and he was worried about Wei Zheng's health, so he came up with this plan.
However, at this moment, Li Shimin suddenly remembered something and asked, "By the way, my dear minister, how old is Shuyu? Where does she work? "
