The little emperor spoke so sincerely that Zhao Ji lay on the recliner for a long time with his eyes closed.

"Your Majesty, have you seen the suffering of the people recently?"

Zhao Ji's question made the emperor's eyes light up again.

As long as Zhao Ji was willing to communicate with the emperor, the emperor would feel there was some hope.

"Although I didn't go to further places, I did see all kinds of people in the capital. I can understand the daily hardships of the people and see their expectations for tomorrow!"

Hearing the emperor say this, Zhao Ji nodded secretly.

"Since the emperor has some opinions, he must also know that for the people, it doesn't matter who sits in this position, as long as they are not tormented!"

The emperor nodded when he heard this: "I understand. I know that for the people, the change of dynasties is often accompanied by some turmoil!"

"Under the influence of these unrest, people's lives will undergo some changes. Whether these changes are good or bad depends entirely on fate!"

Zhao Ji heard this, put down the fan in his hand, and shook his head slightly: "Your Majesty is wrong. Whether it is good or bad is not determined by fate, but by whether the one sitting on the dragon throne will consider the hard work of these people!"

The little emperor was stunned for a moment, then nodded in agreement.

Zhao Ji said, "Then why is the emperor so anxious to get me out of retirement and return to the court? Is it simply because those ministers are hindering the emperor?"

In response to Zhao Ji's question, the little emperor remained silent.

This was indeed part of the reason, but the bigger reason was that the young emperor found that he really could not handle the mess in the court for the time being.

Now that I am so young and immature, I am led by the ministers under me in many things.

Often in such events, the young emperor would find in the end that these ministers were often able to make a lot of money after these events were over.

This is simply blatant misconduct.

"I found out... I have no way to balance the forces in the court. I seem to have made a mess of things. So even if I want to go back to the beginning when I didn't intervene, I can't go back!"

When the little emperor thought of this, a bitter smile appeared on his face.

"I know that calling you back to clean up the mess I made is a very troublesome thing, and I feel very sorry for you, but I really have no other choice. If I let others come to clean up this mess, I think these people will only take a lot of things from it. Everything they take away is actually squeezed from the people!"

Seeing the little emperor say this, Zhao Ji nodded secretly: "It seems that the emperor has grown up a lot!"

The little emperor smiled bitterly, this kind of growth was bought at an astonishing price.

If the little emperor had known that such a choice would lead to such a result, he would never have made that choice.

"So I'm very sorry, Regent, I'm afraid that no one else will come to clean up this mess except you!"

There was a hint of pleading in the little emperor's voice.

Zhao Ji sighed, picked up the teacup beside him and took a sip of tea.

The slightly bitter tea passes over the tip of the tongue, flows through the throat, and finally reaches the stomach, bringing a hint of warmth.

"I can return to the court, but I don't want you to go back to being the way you were before and become a mascot of the court. I hope you can grow up as soon as possible!"

Zhao Ji's words were extremely sincere, and the emperor did not expect that Zhao Ji thought this way.

Suddenly, I felt more and more ashamed.

Before coming to Zhao Ji, the little emperor struggled for a long time.

It was because the young emperor felt that if he went to Zhao Ji this time, and Zhao Ji helped him solve the mess, he would definitely return to his previous situation where he was sidelined.

But after thinking about it, thinking of the people who were naked and the coming severe winter, the little emperor finally convinced himself to accept this result.

However, Zhao Ji's words just now made the little emperor feel that he had really used his own villain's belly to seize the heart of a gentleman.

It was also at this moment that the little emperor realized very clearly that Zhao Ji did not have any particular desire for the throne.

"I will study hard, and I hope I can help the Regent share more of the burden as soon as possible. Please rest assured, Regent, I am no longer the autistic person I used to be. I just talk less now, but I am not incapable of thinking!"

The little emperor was very frank.

Zhao Ji nodded: "I will choose a time to return to the court in the next two days. When I return, I hope that Your Majesty can remember everything I said today and not be deceived by others! Water can carry a boat but can also overturn it. I hope Your Majesty will always remember this!"

When the little emperor heard that Zhao Ji was going back to the court, he was extremely excited.

"I understand. I will remember every word you warned me, because I know that these are all for my own good... and for the good of the people of the entire Celestial Empire!"

Zhao Ji smiled and nodded.

The little emperor was so happy that he turned around, climbed over the wall and returned to the palace.

Zhao Ji looked at the emperor climbing over the wall and smiled with a sigh.

"Actually I wanted to tell him that he could go out through the front door!"

Some ministers have been enjoying great success these days.

For example, the Censor was a favorite of the Emperor. When Zhao Ji went to provide disaster relief, he often went in and out of the Emperor's bedroom.

He always had endless things to talk about with the emperor, although most of the time it was the emperor who was listening to him.

But later, many ministers discovered that the emperor would habitually ask the censor for his opinion before making decisions.

Moreover, the Censor was the first person to propose the policy of prohibiting the people of the capital from trading.

At that time, the emperor trusted the Censor very much and agreed to move forward with this matter.

And now the Censor is still in high spirits because some time ago the Emperor wanted to investigate the corruption of these ministers in the court.

In fact, the emperor's original intention was good. He just wanted those in the current officialdom to learn from his mistakes and keep themselves clean.

However, such a big matter and such a great power fell into the hands of the Censor.

The duties of the Censor-in-Chief also included supervising whether these ministers accepted bribes. This was something the Censor-in-Chief took on his own initiative.

After gaining such great power, the Censor began his double-faced behavior of conducting strict inspections on the surface but secretly accepting bribes to settle cases.

The emperor really didn't know at first, until later, the prefect of Jingzhao discovered the problem and told the emperor directly. Only then did the emperor know the secrets of the Censor-in-Chief and realized that he had trusted him wrongly!
