Oh my god, can you play like this?

Chapter 235 The human heart is unexplainable

When the ministers heard Li Beichen's words, they could only sigh inwardly and put aside their little thoughts.

At the same time, they also feel that it is becoming increasingly difficult to be an official.

The emperor only delegated power to people he trusted, and would not doubt or employ people unless he doubted them. Once the tasks were handed over to those officials, the emperor would not interfere and would just wait to see the results.

As for how the officials deal with it and what they do, it all depends on the officials themselves. The emperor will not interfere.

The emperor keeps a close eye on ministers whom he does not trust!

Don't even talk about whether to delegate power or not. Even if you let them do something, you have to arrange for several people to do it at the same time and supervise each other.

The emperor would even keep an eye on their families. If anyone in the family made a mistake, he would call the official and give him a good scolding.

If the mistakes made by family members are not serious, a scolding will suffice, but if they make serious mistakes, dismissal from office would be the least severe punishment.

Therefore, since Li Beichen ascended the throne, those untrusted officials and their families have all lived on thin ice, trying not to go out if possible, for fear of committing any mistakes and being punished by the emperor.

It’s hard to say whether it’s a good thing or a bad thing to have such an emperor.

Under such heavy pressure, those self-righteous old ministers and important officials would definitely develop some rebellious thoughts and want to do something to control the emperor so that they could live a more comfortable life.

Even though Li Beichen has only been on the throne for over a year, there are already ministers who are plotting, and he has even joined forces with several people!

The intelligence center that Gu Lanzhi built for Li Beichen had already grasped all of this information, and even the names of the ministers who were conspiring had been handed over to Li Beichen.

But Li Beichen said nothing and made no move. He just wanted to see how many people in the court could participate in their conspiracy.

Only when things have fermented to a certain extent can they be eradicated at once.

Only after these cancers are cleared out can the imperial court be completely clean.

After the court session, Li Beichen went straight back to Fengqi Palace. Not long after Li Beichen came back, someone came to report that General Zhang had sent someone to ask for a meeting in the imperial study.

Li Beichen originally thought that Lieutenant General Zhang was here to see him. Just as he was about to get up and return to the imperial study, he heard the person who reported it add, "General Zhang is here to see the queen."

Li Beichen's butt was already lifted up from the sofa. After hearing these words, Li Beichen didn't know whether he should stand up or sit down.

However, Li Beichen believed Gu Lanzhi's words, "Deputy General Zhang is a man with brains."

General Zhang was seeking an audience in the Imperial Study. Although he was seeking an audience with the Queen, he was not going to Laifengqi Palace.

Of course, General Zhang, a foreigner, was not allowed to enter Fengqi Palace.

But if a person was reckless, he would not have thought of asking to see the queen in the emperor's study.

Li Beichen looked at Gu Lanzhi who was holding the child and coaxing him to sleep. Gu Lanzhi didn't even look at Li Beichen, and said to the person who came to deliver the message: "Go tell General Zhang to choose whoever he wants to choose.

He was the one who went out to fight the bandits, not me. Don't ask me anything like a baby."

The messenger glanced at the emperor and then at the queen.

Gu Lanzhi noticed the servant's actions and said, "Go ahead and tell him exactly what I said."

"Yes." After receiving Gu Lanzhi's order, the servant retreated.

"They have always followed me to fight. Over the years, they have become accustomed to listening to me. If I suddenly ask them to make their own decisions, they will definitely not be used to it."

Gu Lanzhi explained on behalf of Deputy General Zhang. He was afraid that Li Beichen would doubt Deputy General Zhang's ability because of this matter.

Li Beichen walked to Gu Lanzhi's side, took the child from Gu Lanzhi's arms, and said while coaxing the child to sleep: "I know, you don't have to explain for them.

Although I have never been to the battlefield with you, I know a lot about what you did there.

It’s normal for them to listen to you and want your opinion.”

Li Beichen really didn't think much about it, and he wouldn't doubt Lieutenant General Zhang's ability because of such a small matter.

Habits are difficult to change, Li Beichen understands.

"By the way, winter is coming soon, you have to prepare for this year's winter palace banquet.

Last year, you were pregnant and it was hard for you to work, so I exempted you from the winter palace banquet, but this year I cannot exempt you from it."

Holding a palace banquet in the palace at the beginning of winter is the custom and practice of the Dongshun Kingdom.

When Gu Lanzhi heard Li Beichen's words, he just remembered this incident. He really had gone crazy staying in the palace and didn't remember anything.

The main reason was that Li Beichen protected Gu Lanzhi so well that he didn't have to worry about anything or take care of anything.

In fact, Gu Lanzhi didn't need to do anything to hold the Winter Banquet. He just had to talk and everything would be done according to etiquette.

Li Beichen asked Gu Lanzhi to prepare just to let Gu Lanzhi bear this reputation.

It doesn't matter whether it is done well or not, as long as it is done by Gu Lanzhi, this is also what he must do as the queen.

Gu Lanzhi nodded and said, "Okay, I'll do it."

Seeing that Gu Lanzhi had agreed, Li Beichen didn't need to say anything else.

But the look in Gu Lanzhi's eyes when he looked at Li Beichen became very playful.

"Your Majesty, another palace banquet is about to be held. Something fun is about to happen!"

Li Beichen rolled his eyes at Gu Lanzhi. He certainly knew what the funny things Gu Lanzhi was talking about were, but these were the things that annoyed Li Beichen.

"Isn't the lesson from last time enough?" Li Beichen smiled at Gu Lanzhi ambiguously.

Gu Lanzhi thought of Li Beichen's madness after the last palace banquet. Gu Lanzhi shuddered unconsciously and glared at Li Beichen fiercely.

"Anyway, you're just a piece of fat meat, and everyone wants to take a bite of you."

Upon hearing this, Li Beichen rolled his eyes at Gu Lanzhi again, "It's because of what you said that they were forced to do whatever they wanted.

You are happy to watch the show from the sidelines, but I am the one who suffers!"

"What's so bitter about this? Seeing so many beauties trying their best to seduce you, don't you feel a little bit of ripple in your heart?"

When Gu Lanzhi said this, he seemed to be joking, but there was worry in his eyes.

He didn't doubt Li Beichen's feelings for him at all. No one knew better than him how much Li Beichen loved him.

But people are like this. Even if it is something they believe in the most, they will still be a little worried. Gu Lanzhi is like this.

Gu Lanzhi knew very well how much Li Beichen was attached to him, how much he loved him, and how much he greedily admired him.

But because of this, Gu Lanzhi was afraid that Li Beichen could not resist the temptation from outside, that Li Beichen would share his love for her with others, and that a second person would live in Li Beichen's heart.

People are like this. The more they love someone, the more they fear losing that person. Even if your lover loves you to death, you still can't help but have wild thoughts and be afraid of this and that.

Some people even dream that their lovers are cheating on them with others, and they get angry with their lovers because of this dream!

There is no way around it; the human mind is unexplainable.

Don’t be fooled by Gu Lanzhi’s teasing look on the surface, he acts like he doesn’t care at all.

But only Gu Lanzhi himself knew what he was thinking and how anxious he was.
