Throughout the morning, Li Tong was busy dealing with the matters on the desk. He waited until the Zhongguan came to ask when the meal would be delivered, and found that most of the day had passed.

I just held the memorial in my hand and was full of national economy. I didn't feel anything. After stopping, I felt a soreness in my waist and back pain hit my upper body. I maintained a posture for so long, even though he was still young and strong, he felt a little overwhelmed.

So he was not in a hurry to have a meal first, and asked someone to call the masseur from the Imperial Medical Department to give a little massage. While enjoying the massage, he also sighed in his heart that the profession of emperor really requires great enthusiasm. If he didn't really like it, he would be unable to bear it.

Of course, he is nonsense to think so. Who doesn’t want to be the supreme emperor in the world? But the problem is that there are many people in this position in all dynasties, and the throne is almost not empty. Sometimes the competition is more fierce, and there are several emperors a year, or there are several emperors at the same time.

But with so many emperors, not to mention the number of famous masters who have created great achievements, even if they are just the middle-level masters who have not increased or decreased, they are actually not many.

The proportion of good emperors is so low. Naturally, the position of the emperor itself is the focus of the world. Any mistake will be magnified to the extreme. Where can there be no one in this world who has no shortcomings?

Another point, and the most important point, is that although the emperor enjoys all the worship of the people of the world, he also concentrates all the joys, sorrows, sorrows, various desires, and interests in the world. If his psychological tolerance is insufficient, he will easily develop a rebellious mentality of escaping and even giving up on himself.

The first thing an ordinary person needs to open his eyes is to consider whether there is food to eat today or what to eat. The emperor is not even sleeping soundly, and he should think about how the people in the world are eating and clothing, whether there will be threats from strong ministers and thieves, shaking the order of the country, etc.

For example, the affairs Li Tong handled today cover all aspects: the insufficient grain storage in Guanzhong needs to be mobilized from the Central Plains as soon as possible, and the number of cabbage ships on the Yellow River is insufficient, and shipbuilding factories in Qingzhou, Yuezhou and other places need to be accelerated to be manufactured. The large timber in these two places is insufficient, so it needs to be transported from inland prefectures and counties as soon as possible. Ding Fu, who cuts and transports timber, needs the help of the surrounding prefectures and counties, etc.

Although a series of events like this are cumbersome, at least there is a logical line connected between the events. In addition, there are various independent events, which makes it even more troublesome to deal with.

For example, Li Tong originally planned to go to the military affairs of the Longyou Governor General, but he found out in the morning that Lou Shide had taken another sick leave. While sending envoys to express condolences, he also had to consider a new candidate.

The governors of two states in Shannan Road died suddenly due to illness, and the court needed to select personnel to make up for the vacancies as soon as possible. The pirates in Wanzhou plundered along the coast, and Guangzhou submitted a memorial to ask whether they needed to send troops to suppress the decree. Linyi State abolished its lord, and the new lord sent envoys to Jiaozhou, and tributed elephants and Kunlun slaves and other local objects. Annan Protectorate Office asked whether to accept the envoys into the capital.

There are big and small things, both inside and outside, there are chaos in the middle and local areas, changes in the vassal kingdom, birth, old age, sickness and death of officials, and water and fire disasters of common people. As long as these things are placed on the emperor's desk, he must make a reply as soon as possible and the officials will execute them.

Even if it does not require everything to be done personally, even if it is just a brief look at everything, it is still complicated and makes people feel excited. Even if something seemingly small, once you ignore it, or you don’t pay enough attention and do not deal with it properly, you may have extremely serious consequences in the future.

Ordinary people only see the emperor's wealth and clothing, three palaces and six courtyards, and the birth and death of a thought is related to all kinds of good fortune. But if you look out of the surface, you will look inward. This is really not a job that people do.

Therefore, most emperors in history who were known for their diligence mostly did not live long. There were also many emperors who were wise and powerful at the beginning, but after a few years or more than ten years, they often slack off. They could still make do with their luck. If they were not lucky, they would be in chaos in their family and country and their health would not be safe in the later years.

Laziness is an instinct that people are born with. In the words of Uncle Liu, I will not be able to enjoy it if I fight for a lifetime?

Of course, Li Tong is not at his burnout period, nor is he still far from being able to enjoy himself on the credit book, so this kind of life has to continue. He was forced to get married by a young girl in the early morning, and before he could recall it carefully, he turned around and devoted himself to complicated affairs. Women were just a stumbling block for him to move towards greatness!

After half an hour of massage, Li Tong felt that his muscles and bones were more comfortable. Seeing the gray-bearded masseur receiving the reward and thanking him, he walked out. He was silent for a while before he said to Lego again: "I will always have a few female technicians in the middle hall, and they are younger."

After hearing this, Lego nodded quickly and took out his close-fitting notebook and quickly recorded it. When he saw the left-handed man in the palace was also holding up his pen and writing, Li Tong quickly added: "The appearance does not need to be outstanding, it is just a middle-aged man, but he must be young and strong. The Imperial Medical Office has been working as a keen technician for many years. Although his skills are sophisticated, his muscles and bones are weak after all. After hearing his turbid breath, I can't bear to force him to work harder."

It is also very unpleasant that the words and deeds of the Dianfan are recorded in daily life. Ordinary people are more introverted. When they walk, they see a few old ladies gather together to whisper, and they will walk along. However, the emperor's every move will be recorded, and will be passed down to future generations for comments by countless future generations. This brings a lot of psychological pressure to people.

But he had to hold on because his great-grandfather Li Shimin was almost hacked by later generations because of his daily life. He really couldn't drive these daily life men out of the palace, so he could only be cautious in his words and deeds.

During the meal, Li Tong asked casually and found out that Zhang Renyuan was on duty at the moment, so he ordered the official to summon Zhang Renyuan to eat with him, and asked him how his work was going.

The middle-level official went back, but did not bring Zhang Renyuan, but brought Zhang Renyuan's message back, saying that he wanted to wait for his colleagues scattered in the various departments to have dinner together, so he would not be able to have a small meal here.

When Li Tong heard this, he sneered. This guy thought he was so popular. I was afraid that even Wang Xiaojie was not as good as him. I was just polite!

However, the prime ministers in the Political Affairs Hall do have a tradition of dining together. At first, this was to show that the prime ministers had a harmonious relationship and were intimate, and gradually became a conventional rule. If anyone often had a small meal and did not eat together, it would be unsociable and would be rejected. Some prime ministers even turned against each other because their colleagues did not wait for him and had a direct meal, which made the prime minister's collective dining a serious problem.

However, Li Tong was somewhat depressed by his subordinates. He gave all the meals he sent to the waiters, and he changed to more delicious dishes. Of course, it was not the same as he enjoyed. He was tired for most of the day and needed to reward himself.

While waiting for the new meal to be delivered, Li Tong was told that Queen Ye Ali of Xikang had led the Zan Po from Qinghai into the Da Nei. He couldn't help but feel happy again. With a beautiful lady accompanying her to eat, who would still be willing to pay attention to Zhang Renyuan's kind of goods that even bite in circles when eating Hu cakes.

So he simply left Xuanzheng Hall, and asked the officer to lead the Queen Xikang and the meal to the Zichen Hall of the inner palace, avoiding the annoying eyes and ears of the outside court, and the atmosphere of the dining room was more relaxed and pleasant. As for Zan Po from Qinghai, let the officials from the outside court receive it first.

Before Li Tong came to the inner hall to sit, Ye Ali walked in gracefully, with a light face on his pretty face, and his slim red dress outlined the tall and graceful curves of his body. The beads on his arms were filled with brilliance, as if a starlight was wrapped around his body, looking bright and charming, attracting attention, and I couldn't bear to turn my eyes.

"No need to be a ritual, and have a meal at the table."

Seeing that Ye Ali was still waiting to bow, Li Tong waved his hand with a smile and raised his hand to signal the palace people to pick up the brocade covers to keep the dishes warm on the table.

When Ye Ali saw this scene, he was already surprised and flattered. His beautiful eyes were filled with affection. He sat down while holding the desk and said, "The saint should eat as soon as possible, so why should he wait!"

"I know that your residence is busy and you are called in a hurry, so you may not have to eat sometimes. I happen to be empty-handed, so I wait a little."

Li Tong raised his hand and continued to smile, "Eating alone is full of delicious food, but it is hard to have a bit of taste. It is better to wait for someone who is pleasing to the eye, breathing is inseparable, and eating with appetizers."

When Ye Ali heard this, his pretty face was shy and embarrassed, but more of it was happy, and nodded repeatedly to express his agreement. Seeing the saint making another gesture, he was no longer reserved. He picked up the chopsticks on the table and savored the delicious food, while frequently looking up at the saint who was close to him.

Li Tong finished the meal soon, holding a cup of butterfly, and smiling at Ye Ali, who was still continuing. Seeing that the plate was getting empty, he raised his hand to signal the palace servant to continue to add more food.

When the palace servant returned to pick up the meal, Ye Ali was surprised to find that she had eaten so much without realizing it. She hurriedly put down the chopsticks in her hand awkwardly, and lowered her head and whispered: "Enough, enough... I was in the residence when I was in the residence, so I didn't eat so well. The food in the palace was so delicious, and it was as pleasing to the eye, and it was appetizing and adding meals..."

Li Tong knew that women often cared about this kind of thing, so he took another cherry Biluo and cut it with a dining knife, holding half in his hand, and pushing the other half to Ye Ali: "I still have to bear the amount of belly, it's a pity to waste it."

Seeing this, Ye Ali's eyes warmed up again. He raised his hand to take the half of Biluo, held it in both hands and chewed it carefully. Li Tong looked at her again and continued, "It's a good time to eat in the palace, so how about staying for a long time?"
