The Legend of Rebirth of the Demon Empress

Chapter 188 Ask
Lin Zisu said with a smile: "I have nothing to do at home these days, and I read the "Zhai Jing" again. In this way, the merits and virtues will be attributed to the superior, the slander will be attributed to the inferior, the peace and joy will be attributed to the monarch, and the worries and busyness will be attributed to the subordinates, so that your majesty does not have to worry about political affairs, and the sages will not bury their talents."

"You girl, are you saying that the salary I give is too little?"

The emperor chuckled and said, "I heard that your father has been an official in the capital for five years, and the family is often in trouble. Don't worry, as long as he is sincere, I will never treat him badly."

Lin Zisu said solemnly: "My lady thanked Your Majesty. What I mean by this lady is that Your Majesty is the father of a country, and all the adults in the court can't share your worries and sit back and watch Your Majesty work hard. They must not be sages."

The emperor was stunned for a moment, Lin Zisu's words reminded him of several important cabinet ministers of his own.

The chief assistant of the cabinet, Liu Qingyuan, is not only commendable for his magnanimity, but also mediocre in ability and courage. At that time, he was only used as a temporary expedient. Unexpectedly, Liu Qingyuan has been in the position of chief assistant for more than eight years, and still has not found a suitable candidate.

Ye Quan, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, has a high opinion of himself, and he is not tolerant of others, and has a tense relationship with courtiers.

Minister of the Ministry of Rites Qian Minzhong's eloquence is fine, he always has a rhetoric in everything, but there is no real policy in his mouth.

Lu Zhiyuan, Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, has been in the cabinet for three years and has accumulated countless reputations, but the national treasury is becoming more and more empty every year.

Shen Changde, Minister of the Ministry of War, is bold and resolute, but clumsy with words.

Zhang Ruogu, the left servant of the Ministry of Officials, is quite talented and famous, but he is tactful and careless, so he cannot be entrusted with important tasks.

The emperor always believed that there is no perfect person in the world, let alone a courtier without flaws.Therefore, in employing people, it has always been to maximize strengths and avoid weaknesses, and to give courtiers a suitable position.

If Ye Quan is selfless, then let him be in charge of the official performance appraisal; if Qian Minzhong is eloquent, then let him be in charge of etiquette and diplomatic relations; He assisted Ye Quan...

The emperor thought that he could make the best use of people by employing people, but what Lin Zisu said made him shake.

Yes, if the cabinet can share the pressure, why does the emperor himself have to work so hard?
The emperor was moved, pondered for a moment, and asked: "Then according to what you said, there are no sages around me?"

Lin Zisu blinked her eyes and said with a smile: "Your Majesty is wise and powerful, and he knows it in his heart. Why do you need my daughter to talk too much?"

The emperor laughed, pointed at Lin Zisu and said, "You girl, you are so decisive as you said just now, why don't you dare to say it again? Well, I also have a headache about important national affairs, so let's not talk about this, you come first Give me a pulse check."

This time the emperor was fine, and it didn't take that long to take the pulse, but Lin Zisu loosened the emperor's wrist in just one cup of tea.

The emperor just lacked sleep, which caused his body to be unwell. Lin Zisu simply prescribed some tranquilizing medicine, and handed it to Zhang Gu, the eunuch who was waiting on the side.

Zhang Gu took the prescription and put it away, smiled and said to Lin Zisu: "Miss Lin, Your Majesty has been thinking about you for the past few days, and today I finally have some free time, so I ordered my servant to invite you into the palace."

Lin Zisu hurriedly spoke politely to Zhang Gu, but the emperor smiled and said, "Su girl, you don't need to be polite with this servant. He, there is a slight disturbance in my body, and the first thing he mentioned is you. "

The more the emperor said, the more relaxed he became, even Zhang Gu became more relaxed.

Zhang Gu turned his head and said to the emperor: "Your Majesty, this servant girl is really right. Miss Lin's medical skills are really amazing. After a while, the servant girl looks at the emperor with a different look."

The three of them chatted and laughed, the emperor was in a good mood, and forgot all the memorials.

The emperor asked about Lin Zisu's knowledge, and Lin Zisu answered clearly, occasionally citing extensively, which made the emperor laugh out loud.

It was noon in a blink of an eye, Zhang Gu asked about the meal, the emperor smiled and said: "It's rare for Su Yatou to enter the palace, so I will borrow the light of you little girl, and let's go to the queen to ask for a meal."

Zhang Gu sent people to Kunning Palace to inform in advance, and then sent people to the imperial dining room, and ordered the emperor's food to be sent to Kunning Palace.

When the emperor arrived at Kunning Palace, the queen had already received the letter and stood at the gate of Kunning Palace to greet her early.

Since Lin Zisu came out of the palace, the empress had only met the emperor twice, and it was because of Xie Yao's marriage that the emperor pretended to ask her.

Unexpectedly, because of Lin Zisu, the emperor was willing to come to him.The queen felt quite uncomfortable, and she was a little grateful to Lin Zisu.

It is said that they went to Kunning Palace to beg for food, but in fact they just put the imperial food in Kunning Palace, and all the food was prepared early.The emperor was very interested and greeted Lin Zisu to sit down.

The hierarchy in the palace is strict, according to the existing rules, in front of the emperor and the empress, daughters of ministers with no rank like Lin Zisu, not to mention sitting together, are not even qualified to serve dishes.

But the emperor didn't take it seriously, and kept saying that it was just an ordinary family banquet, and there was no need to stick to etiquette. The queen also helped and persuaded.Seeing that Lin Zisu couldn't resist the emperor's request, she had to sit at the end of the table to accompany her.

Lin Zisu ate this meal without knowing the taste, until the end, Lin Zisu didn't eat a few mouthfuls of food.

The queen saw Lin Zisu's discomfort, and after lunch, she ordered her servants to serve some fruits and snacks, and said to Lin Zisu with a smile: "Miss Su, the snacks here are the new ones made by the Imperial Dining Room. Try it."

If it was normal, Lin Zisu would definitely not dare to make a mistake, and declined in person.At this time, the hunger was burning, and seeing that the dim sum was well made, I couldn't care about the etiquette.After a few excuses, she took a piece of pastry and put it in her mouth.

The pastry was surprisingly delicious, soft but not glutinous, sweet but not greasy, with a thick milky aroma and a light lotus leaf aroma.

Lin Zisu ate three yuan in succession and finally felt full.Seeing the emperor and the empress looking at him with a smile on the side, he said with a sneer: "Your Majesty and Empress are laughing."

The emperor and the empress looked at each other and smiled, the emperor coughed lightly, and said: "Little Si'er has been talking about you in my ears, saying that I want me to give you two marriages. I know that this son of mine, usually It's crooked, not in a good shape, I'm afraid I've wronged you."

The emperor saw Lin Zisu's calm face and showed no sign of resistance, so he immediately felt relieved, and then said, "I just want to ask you today. You don't have to shy away in front of the queen right now. If you are willing, then I will fulfill his wish, if not, then I will give him a strict order that I will not harass you again in the future."
