I slept for almost two hours, and when I opened my eyes again, the sky had already ended.

Hearing the movement in the hall, Liu Zhong, who had been waiting outside, quickly opened the door and walked in, standing respectfully in front of Chen Jue.

"What time is it?" he asked.

"Back to Your Majesty, it's already three o'clock in the morning."

Liu Zhong handed the water to Chen Jue, thinking of the news from the Yeting Bureau.

He said: "Your Majesty, there is news from the Imperial Guard that the dancer committed suicide by taking poison out of fear of crime."

As he spoke, Liu Zhong took out a blood-stained handkerchief from his sleeve and placed it in front of Chen Jue, "This is the dancer's confession."

Chen Jue didn't answer. He only glanced at it lightly and said, "It's burned."

Even without reading it, he knew what the confession was about.

Even if the original person was here, he wouldn't be able to read it, let alone him. Then he wouldn't be able to read it even more.

But what he didn't expect was that the other party would actually take action without him conducting a strict investigation.

Chen Jue thought carefully for a while and felt that this matter was probably not done by those people in the court. They could not have committed such an obvious thing and alerted the snake.

A discerning person would know it was homicide at a glance. Who would be so stupid as to believe such a "confession"!

Anyway, he is not that stupid!

After a good sleep, my spirits were almost restored, but I was a little hungry.

Chen Jue touched his hungry stomach and looked at the sunset outside.

Well, it's already that time, it's time to eat.

This movement of his happened to be caught by Liu Zhong. As a chamberlain, one must know how to act based on what he looks at.

So Liu Zhong immediately asked: "Your Majesty, would you like to pass on the meal?"

Chen Jue glanced at him and said, "Pass."

Otherwise, it would be better to be an emperor. Everyone wants to be an emperor!

With just one word from him, the palace servants quickly arranged the meals in an orderly manner.

But just halfway through the meal, a favored concubine from the harem, Jiang Guifei, came.

Concubine Jiang?

"What is she doing here?" Chen Jue glanced at Liu Zhong.

Liu Zhong immediately understood and said: "When the empress learned that you were injured, she probably came to visit you."

"An hour ago, the imperial concubine learned that you were injured and came to see you. However, when I saw that you were resting, I made my own arrangements and did not let the imperial concubine come in."

After saying that, Liu Zhong also knew that what he had done was wrong, and immediately knelt on the ground to apologize.

Chen Jue waved his hand and did not punish him. Liu Zhong did what he wanted, "Well done."

However, thinking that he could not let the servant make the decision for him without permission, he added: "Next time you make the decision without permission, you will receive the punishment yourself."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your forgiveness." Seeing that His Majesty did not punish him, Liu Zhong suddenly showed a flattering smile.

"Your Majesty, do you want to bring the empress in?"

"No, please take all these away."

When he heard the words "Jiang Guifei", Chen Jue couldn't help but think that he only had two years to live, and he immediately lost the thought of eating.

In the novel, the main reason why the original person has the reputation of being a coward is because she is "Concubine Jiang".

Concubine Jiang can be said to have three thousand beauties in the harem, and she is loved by three thousand people.

For her sake, he killed virtuous ministers and got close to villains; he indulged in drinking and sex all day long, ignored the government affairs, and allowed Liu Zhong, the chamberlain, to do his best to kill court ministers.

Even more so for Concubine Jiang, he did not hesitate to waste time and money by levying civilian husbands to build the Star Building, just to make her smile.

However, after he received the memory of the original person, he felt more and more that the original person was not a stupid king at all.

There is no such thing as doting on Concubine Jiang alone.

The original person was in poor health, let alone not good at women, he simply hated women.

Originally, I was just idle and bored, sitting and watching the girls from aristocratic families competing for power and favor for the glory of the powerful family.

Occasionally, when the women in the harem stopped fighting, he would get in and get involved.

Killing virtuous ministers and approaching villains, Chen Jue couldn't help but doubt whether those virtuous ministers in the novel were really virtuous ministers?

Just like Liu Zhong, who is loyal to his original self, is he really the traitor in the novel?

As for policy, Chen Jue felt that he was even less like a foolish king.

The original person took the throne for three years, and every decision he made was in his opinion beneficial to the people.

It's a pity that there is no buffer time for these decisions. If there was a buffer time for implementation slowly, maybe the original person would not have the reputation of being a "faint king".

The original person will not be a king who has subjugated his country.

However, Chen Jue, who has fully accepted the memory of his original body, now understands a little bit.

It turned out to be intentional.

Because he never thought that he would live long, after he succeeded to the throne, he never thought about letting Chen Guo's empire continue forever.

This is why the original person has been suffering from angina pectoris but does not take life-saving quick-acting drugs.

"Alas!" He couldn't help sighing again that he was really a miserable young man!

However, he seemed to have forgotten that he was now the "tragic young man" and he only had two years to live.

The emperor was assassinated and injured in the palace, but the palace did not conceal the matter. Therefore, Chen Jue did not show up at the court meeting on the second day, and no one was surprised.

After all, in their view, His Majesty has not been in court for a long time, so there is no difference.

After three days of rest, Chen Jue appeared for the first time at Chen Guo's court meeting.

Halfway through the court meeting, Chen Jue leaned down on the dragon chair with his chin half held up, and yawned twice.

This meeting was really boring. He listened for a long time and felt like nothing was said.

After sitting for a long time, his butt hurt. Chen Jue stretched and changed to a comfortable angle and leaned on the dragon chair behind him.

He raised his eyes and looked down, his beautiful peach blossom eyes widened with a smile, "Do you guys have anything else to say?"

"Your Majesty, it has been raining continuously for half a month in the south. Floods have occurred and people have been displaced——"

A minister stepped forward and said, "This is a natural disaster and is regarded as a punishment from heaven. I sincerely request your majesty to issue an edict to punish myself."

"Edict to sin?" Upon hearing this, Chen Jue's eyes fell on Xia Si.

After a long time, Chen Jue looked back.

He took the memorial from Liu Zhong, glanced at it, closed it, held it in his hand and played with it.

"Why, do you also think that I should issue an edict to punish oneself?" Chen Jue still looked careless.

"This -" Minister below, you look at me and I look at you. I don't know how to answer for a moment.

After Xia Si shouted the edict to sin against oneself again, after a while, several more people came out and followed Xia Si's words and asked him to issue the edict to sin against oneself.

"Sin Ji Zhao," Chen Jue smiled calmly without showing any displeasure, and asked Xia Si with interest, "Xia Qing, can you read the stars?"

Xia Si was stunned and looked up at the emperor, wondering why the emperor suddenly asked this question.

He shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, I don't know how to do it."

"Oh," Chen Jue smiled and asked, "If he doesn't know how, then how did Xia Qing know that this was punishment from heaven?"

"Since it is a punishment from heaven, Xia Qing will bear this punishment. Come, take off Xia Si's official uniform and send him on his way."

Before Xia Shi could react, the others had already been pulled down by the imperial guards, and they didn't even have time to make a sound.

When those people in the court who had been friends with Xia Shi in the past saw this, they did not dare to speak for a moment.

However, two upright censors also stood up to speak for Xia Si, and even claimed that they wanted him to issue an edict for committing crimes.
