Daily life of cat villains

After Li Shimin ascended the throne, he changed the court meeting to once every five days. At other times, the officials all went to work in their respective government offices. They could take a day off every ten days, go home to take a shower and wash their hair, and visit relatives.

Tomorrow is the court attendance once every five days. Li Shimin reminded him to go to the court before leaving. Xu Zhe was mentally prepared, but getting up early was too difficult.

When the eunuch woke him up, it was still dark outside.

Xu Zhe asked casually, "What time is it?" Then he closed his eyes and rested his mind, allowing the palace people to fiddle with it.

"Return to Your Highness, it's three quarters of Yin time."

"Ah."

Xu Zhe calmed down and fell asleep again unknowingly. He didn't wake up suddenly until his face was covered with a wet kerchief.

The maid who was waiting on the side hurriedly handed over the teacup. After Xu Zhe finished rinsing his mouth, his hair was combed and his court clothes were neatly dressed. He ate some snacks and cakes, and it was 04:30.

As the sky was getting brighter, Xu Zhe sat in the shoulder chair, walked through the Xuande Gate, and headed to the Daming Palace in the north.

The East Palace is to the east of the Tai Chi Hall, closer to the Daming Palace. Xu Zhe arrived after staring for a while. It was almost five o'clock at this time, and all the officials above the fifth rank had arrived at the Xuanzheng Hall, so Xu Zhe came late.

The shoulders were carried by four strong young eunuchs, and they walked so fast and steadily that Xu Zhe almost fell asleep again.When he came to the Xuanzheng Hall, he also looked listless, which caused his teachers to glare at him.It's not been a day or two for the prince to be absurd. He was trained the day before yesterday, and he took people out to run around again yesterday.He used to like to play with the eunuchs and musicians in the palace, but now his face is pale and his expression is tired, he must have not slept well last night, he was messing around.

Your Majesty will be here soon, now is not the time to teach him a lesson.

The eunuchs brought chairs, and after Xu Zhe took his seat, several ministers also sat down one after another.As soon as Maoshi arrived, Li Shimin came over.

Sweeping his gaze across the crowd, he finally focused on Xu Zhe. Li Shimin sighed softly, then, as usual, he listened to the reports from his courtiers, and then participated in the government affairs.

Zhang Xuansu and Kong Yingda told him yesterday that something was wrong with the prince, but today the two remained silent.It was Yu Zhining who spoke.

Yu Zhining, originally surnamed Wan Yuyu, was a member of the Xianbei tribe. He first became an official in the Sui Dynasty, and later defected to Li Shimin.Together with Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui and other 17 people, he is also known as the Eighteenth Bachelor of the Qin Palace. He is Li Shimin's confidant and confidant, and he is 55 years old now.

He spoke in a heartbroken voice, every word revealing the meaning of hating iron but not steel.If Xu Zhe was his son, he wouldn't feel too disobedient.But he is just a courtier, even if he puts teaching the prince first, this feeling is enough to make people feel disgusted.

Xu Zhe felt annoyed in his heart, slowly lowered his head and closed his eyes, and yawned by blocking the view, two tears flowed from the corners of his eyes, which were not easy to wipe.

After Zhining finished speaking, Du Zhenglun, the crown prince's concubine Zuo, wanted to make another confession, but Li Shimin interrupted him quickly, "I already know about this matter, crown prince, what do you think should be done?"

The courtiers all pricked up their ears.

In the past, His Majesty called Prince Chengqian, or called him directly, but rarely called him "Prince".Now is this the crown prince finally annoyed His Majesty?
