Chapter 163 Is it serious?
"Yes, sir!" they answered in unison, with determination gleaming in their eyes.
On the carriage to the palace, Li Chen explained in detail to the two the importance of the early court session and the challenges they might face.
His words revealed his infinite loyalty to Fusu and deep concern for the country.
Liu Ji and Xiao He listened with great interest and nodded in agreement from time to time.
Finally, the carriage arrived at the palace.
The three of them got off the carriage together, Li Chen led the way, and Liu Ji and Xiao He followed closely behind.
Their steps are firm and powerful, as if every step carries the responsibility and commitment to the country.
In the court, Fusu was already sitting beside the dragon throne.
His eyes were deep and firm, as if he could see through everything.
When Li Chen, Liu Ji and Xiao He stepped into the court, a gleam of satisfaction flashed in his eyes.
Morning morning officially begins.
Fusu spoke first, his voice loud and powerful.
"I have summoned you all today to discuss state affairs. I hope you can speak freely and discuss state affairs together."
There was a sudden buzz of discussion in the court.
In the court, the ministers were talking in an agitated manner, their voices were as noisy as a pot of boiling water.
Fusu sat upright in the hall, silent, his deep eyes revealing calmness and composure.
He quietly observed every minister in the court, secretly evaluating their attitudes and positions in his mind.
Li Chen stood beside Fusu, his eyes always focused on Fusu's expression.
When he saw Fusu lower his eyes to signal, he immediately understood and shouted loudly.
"Silence! Do not disturb the prince's thoughts."
His voice was loud and powerful, penetrating the noisy discussions in the court and shocking everyone.
The ministers gradually quieted down and their eyes were focused on Fusu.
Fusu slowly raised his head and scanned the court with his sharp eyes, finally stopping on the vacant seat of Li Si.
He frowned slightly and asked, "Why didn't Li Si come today?"
There was a slight discussion in the court again, but it soon quieted down at Li Chen's signal.
A minister stood up and answered respectfully.
"Your Highness, Lord Li Si is not feeling well today, so he is unable to attend the morning court."
When Fusu heard this, a trace of concern flashed in his eyes.
"Feeling unwell? Is it serious?"
"I know very well that Li Si is an important official of the country, and his physical condition has a great impact on the country's affairs."
"Your Highness, Lord Li Si just caught a cold, nothing serious is wrong."
"He has sent someone to ask for leave and promised to return to the court as soon as he recovers." The minister replied.
Fusu nodded, feeling a little relieved. He glanced across the court again and spoke slowly.
"Since Lord Li Si is unwell, we should work together to make plans for the country."
"What matters need to be discussed in the court today?"
As Fusu finished speaking, discussions began to rise again in the court.
The ministers put forward their own views and suggestions and engaged in a heated discussion on state affairs.
Fusu listened quietly, occasionally nodding or asking questions, guiding the direction of the discussion in the court.
Li Chen also paid close attention to the developments in the court and was always ready to provide support and assistance to Fusu.
He was well aware of his heavy responsibility, not only to protect Fusu's safety.
It is also necessary to ensure that government affairs in the court proceed smoothly.
The ministers stood in the court and exchanged glances with each other.
Everyone knew that since Li Si was not here today, complaints about the imperial examination system had to be put aside temporarily.
