Chapter 275 Regret



"My Lord Regent, I admit that I was wrong to listen to the slander of the villain and harbor a slight hostility towards you. But in fact, what moved me more in the past period of time was never your shortcomings, My Lord Regent!"

"So, Your Majesty, are you unhappy with the way you are handling these things now?" Zhao Ji asked with a smile.

The question just confused people.

"Yes!"

For Zhao Ji, in fact, most of the time he didn't need to ask people questions with special interest. He could see everyone's shortcomings from all aspects just by looking at their faces and the agility of their movements.

Even the emperor did not notice that he talked more and more during the past two days when communicating with Zhao Ji.

Many times when the emperor made decisions, he would refer to some of Zhao Ji’s previous decisions.

Therefore, the more this happened, the more the emperor felt how powerful what Zhao Ji had done before was.

In addition, before the emperor made any decision during this period, he would think of the conversation between Zhao Ji and the prefect of Beijing.

It was during this process that the young emperor discovered that the ministers who had previously claimed that they wanted to give him power were actually the biggest obstacle to everything.

In addition, Zhao Ji has been claiming to be ill and has not shown up.

It also encouraged the arrogance of these ministers to a certain extent.

Many ministers even wanted to become regents.

Therefore, in every matter and decision, the emperor needs to negotiate with too many people.

Over time, the emperor now has a scale in his heart. At least the emperor is much clearer now than before.

It is clear who wants to make this court better, and it is also clear who wants to fish in troubled waters.

It is because the emperor himself has experienced this.

So now, the emperor is more aware of Zhao Ji's original selflessness.

It was also because the emperor knew clearly about Zhao Ji's selflessness in the past that he became more aware that many things could only be done with Zhao Ji's presence.

Once in the court.

The young emperor wanted to restore the capital to its former prosperity.

After all, in the past, people could come out to do business and exchange things every day, which was very pleasant.

It is also beneficial to the lives of the people.

However, it is such a decision that I want to go back to before.

Now the young emperor wanted to implement it, and as soon as he said this, many ministers jumped out to oppose it.

The point is simply that if these people have such a channel, then after they earn some money through business, they will no longer farm.

The little emperor was very puzzled, because this was clearly the way things were done before, or even thirty or forty years ago.

Why has such a thing become so difficult?

It just so happened that the young emperor had seen during his previous incognito visit that most of the people in the city were living in difficult conditions.

And many people don’t understand why they are not allowed to continue trading?

If this continues, even the little emperor, who does not have much foresight, can predict that when winter comes, most of the people in the capital will only be able to use their own quilts, which are not any thinner, to keep warm.

Moreover, during this period, the prefect of Jingzhao had actually been brainwashing the little emperor.

"Yesterday, I saw Aunt Wang in the alley secretly contacting Uncle Li in the alley to the west. The two seemed to be trading something, so I think even if it is banned like this, it actually doesn't make much sense!"

"Because once these people have such a demand, they will definitely not be stopped, and using such a completely forbidden order to strictly manage them will only inspire their rebellious hearts!"

The prefect of Jingzhao sighed.

Although the prefect of Jinzhao has been released now, he still attends the morning court on time.

However, there are still one or two troublesome ministers who impeach the prefect of Jingzhao every day.

The difference from before is that the emperor listens to it every day, but he no longer has any other thoughts about the Jingzhao prefect in his mind like before.

Because the emperor is now completely clear that the prefect of Jingzhao is absolutely loyal to this country and this court.

Just like Zhao Ji.

When the young emperor found that he could not handle the ministers in the court, he began to think about asking Zhao Ji to come out of retirement.

But now, whenever I go to Zhao Ji for something, he always says he doesn’t have time and that he is recuperating.

The little emperor actually knew in his heart that Zhao Ji was really angry and annoyed, so he was deliberately avoiding the matter.

The little emperor could only complain secretly, but he couldn't do anything to Zhao Ji in public. He even had to praising Zhao Ji respectfully.

After all, Zhao Ji had just completed the reconstruction of the disaster area and was a meritorious official with great contributions.

How could I offend this person?

It was at this moment that the young emperor clearly realized that it was not others but himself and those so-called loyal ministers who had put him in this situation.

"Prince Regent, what happened before was indeed my fault!"

Although Zhao Ji did not open the gate of the mansion, when the king of a country climbed over the courtyard wall.

Zhao Ji still felt a little absurd.

Originally according to Zhao Ji's plan, he should have hidden for about ten more days, but he never expected that the emperor would wake up earlier than he thought.

"It was indeed my fault for what happened before. I shouldn't have doubted you!"

The little emperor looked at Zhao Ji with extremely sincere eyes, and every word he said came from the bottom of his heart!

Zhao Ji was swaying on a recliner under a tree, holding a palm-leaf fan in his hand.

There were fruits and tea on the table next to it.

This is not just recuperation, it is simply a happy life like in heaven.

Zhao Ji sighed, pointed out the current situation and said to the emperor directly: "Although I want to help the emperor and be loyal to the court, my body does not allow it now. A maid will bring me the medicine in a while. My illness is indeed not cured!"

When the little emperor heard what Zhao Ji said, the light in his eyes dimmed.

"I know that I was reckless before, which led to the current situation. But at that time, I was in a daze every day, and those ministers kept nagging me every day. I did have some ideas."

"When I started to pay attention to the things around me, the words those ministers said every day entered my ears again and again. Over time, I was naturally led astray by their words!"

"Of course, as an emperor, I should have my own thoughts. These are what I lack. I realize it now, but I really didn't have any thoughts in this regard at that time!"

"During this period of time, I have been watching with a cold eye, and I can see who is truly thinking about the people of this court, and who is trying to fish in troubled waters and expand their own power!"

"I understand everything!"
