Since the emperor is going to be hospitalized in the hospital, special preparations are naturally needed.
So that night, the whole hospital was in chaos, and they forcibly set up a intensive care unit for the emperor.
Actually, there is nothing particularly exaggerated about calling it an intensive care unit. It is just bigger than other wards and has more comprehensive facilities.
Originally, Lu Chen planned to close the corridor and build a small ward with its own entrance and courtyard for Li Zhuo, but Li Zhuo rejected this plan on the way.
In Li Zhuo's words, he just wants to get some warmth from people and communicate more with ordinary people.
"I heard that many princes and ministers are recuperating in your hospital. I also heard that my uncles often stay with you for two days. If they can get used to it, I can get used to it too."
Li Zhuo got into the role very quickly. He had just come out of the imperial city, but he no longer called himself "Zhen". He just called himself "I" all the time, which was very comfortable.
Lu Chen, who was accompanying him, said with some embarrassment: "Your Majesty, your uncles go to the hospital to recuperate and relax. If you lived there, their blood pressure would definitely go up."
"I don't care. I worked so hard for this country, and in the end, I almost lost my life. When I was lying in the hospital bed, I thought to myself, what a loss I've had in my life."
"At the time, I told myself that if I could get through this, then no matter what happens in the world, I will live my own life!"
When Lu Chen heard this, he knew he was in trouble. When an emperor throws off the shackles of the world, he can really act without restraint.
Sure enough, Li Zhuo has been restless since the day he arrived at the hospital.
That night, he grabbed the nurse who came to check his physical and personality indicators and insisted on writing a poem for her.
The next morning, after getting up and having breakfast, he watched the chess game between Prince Duan and an old censor with the help of a nurse and the company of a doctor. He also gave some pointers to both sides, which made both sides roll their eyes.
After lunch and a nap, I got up full of energy and went to watch people play mahjong.
After looking around for a few times, he insisted that he understood it. Then he went to the table and took out a gold leaf, which immediately aroused the competitive spirit of the other people at the table.
I heard that the four of them fought until the second watch of the night. If the strong head nurse hadn't come to chase them away, they might have continued to kill.
After playing mahjong for a few days, the man felt unsatisfied and set his sights on the carp in the pond behind the hospital.
Now the carp in the Chinese Academy of Sciences were in trouble. The carp in the pond behind the hospital were a bit slippery and not easy to catch. So this guy took his fishing rod to the gate of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and sat in the landscape pond at the gate of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and fished for the whole morning.
Finally, he took the two carps to the cafeteria and insisted that the kitchen cook them for him, declaring that this was what he would eat at noon.
After visiting the carp of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, I went to the library in the afternoon and discussed philosophy with some great Confucian scholars. With his nonsense and heresy, I almost drove away several professors from the School of Literature.
I went through this for half a month, and finally I felt that the hospital was boring and my body recovered.
Then this gentleman took Prince Duan and his entourage to the pedestrian street, where they ate the best food in the best restaurant and had beautiful singing girls accompany them.
After a whole month of this, the first person who couldn't stand it anymore was Li Xiang.
When he appeared in front of Li Zhuo again, Li Zhuo was shocked. Li Xiang was so thin that he almost looked unrecognizable.
Li Zhuo was naturally very distressed to see his son become like this.
He hurried forward and grabbed Li Xiang and said, "My son, tell your father what happened and who abused you?"
Li Xiang was in a trance for a moment, and finally bowed to Li Zhuo and said, "I ask you to return to the palace to take charge of government affairs."
When he heard that he was asked to go back, Li Zhuo waved his hands without thinking and said, "Go back? No, no, no, I won't go! What a joke! You are the regent now, how can I go back and give orders?"
"Besides, the doctor told me yesterday that my blood pressure might be a little high and asked me to take good care of myself. As a son, I can't let my father get too tired."
"But Father, I heard that you went to a brothel to listen to some music today?"
"Rumors! Absolute rumors! We can't believe them. I don't have the heart to believe them right now."
"Father, please have mercy on me. Look how exhausted I am. I'm not even nine years old."
"You're not right. When our father was your age, he slept in the middle of the night and woke up in the early morning. Young people should endure more hardships and train themselves more. I believe in you, keep going!"
Li Xiang bit her lip and said, "Okay, I can continue to be the regent. Then can I punish a few of the imperial censors? These people are so disgusting. They are just like flies, buzzing in my ears all day long."
When Li Zhuo heard that his son was also suffering, he felt very happy for some reason.
He shook his head and said, "That won't do, son. This is how censors work. They report things based on hearsay. You have to get used to it."
"But these bastards are really inhuman. They always set traps for me to jump into."
"Well, that's what being an emperor is like. You have to fight and scheme with all those ministers. You'll get used to it. You still have a council of advisors, they can help you."
It would be fine if we didn’t talk about this, but Li Xiang became even more upset when she talked about it.
"I was just saying that. The advisory council has done nothing but quarrel with the civil officials these past two days. Now, when the court is in session, the whole place is like a vegetable market. It gives me a headache just thinking about it."
This trend is really passed down from generation to generation!
Li Zhuo smiled awkwardly, then comforted Li Xiang, "Just adapt and get used to it. Your father went through the same thing back then."
Li Xiang gritted her teeth and said, "Father, I feel that the current official structure is too unreasonable. I want to change it and add or reduce some positions."
"Okay, okay, your master said the same thing before. I think it's feasible. Father supports you. Don't worry and do it boldly. We will all protect you."
Li Zhuo suddenly realized that there were many benefits to pushing Li Xiang to that position.
Not only did it liberate himself, but it also allowed Li Xiang to be trained and become familiar with the emperor's work.
The most important thing is that once something goes wrong, the first person to help remedy the situation is not him as the father, but Li Xiang’s omnipotent master.
In this way, Li Zhuo felt more at ease as a hands-off boss.
Thinking of this, Li Zhuo suddenly became curious and asked, "By the way, why haven't I seen your master these past two days? Where has he been? Is he busy with reforms?"
"The master said that the cherry blossoms in the south are in full bloom at this time, so he went south to enjoy the cherry blossoms."
"Tsk tsk tsk, the Imperial Master knows how to enjoy life. I'm not as good as him!"
