Reborn as a Merchant Girl, the General's Beloved

The prince had been bedridden for several days, and many memorials were still placed in front of his bed. He coughed while sorting out the memorials in front of him. Jin Liu stood at the door and watched for a long time. Suddenly he felt a little sad. He walked over quietly and handed over a pile of memorials from a distance.

The prince looked up and saw that it was him. He smiled and said, "Today, my father has issued an edict to restore your status as a prince and grant you the title of King Jing. Your territory remains the same."

"Brother, I heard that you have been very tired these days, why don't you take a rest?" Jin Liu frowned and looked at the cold medicine in front of him with worry.

"If I do more, my father will have to do less. He has been worried about the staffing vacancies in various government offices in recent days and has not had a good night's sleep for almost seven or eight days." The prince coughed as he spoke.

Jin Liu stood up, poured the bowl of cooled medicine into the medicine pot, removed the small pot from the tea stove, put the medicine pot back, and a scent of medicine filled the whole room.

"By the way, after this matter is over, find one day to bring Yu Ran to the palace. We have wronged her because of your marriage." The prince coughed so hard that his whole face turned red.

"Brother, don't worry about these things. It's more important to do the right thing. She is a smart person." Jin Liu thought about it and smiled.

"You are lucky to have her." The prince smiled happily when he saw that his tone was not as cold and hard as before.

"By the way, I just ran into Mr. Ji in the courtyard outside. Is he here to fill a vacancy in the court?"

"That's right." The prince did not hide anything and told him the truth, "I have been very worried these past few days, so Huaizhu asked Mr. Ji to come over. Now, 80% of the remaining officials in the court are his students. Once he showed up, the transfer order of the Ministry of Personnel went much smoother."

"Ah?" Jin Liu was stunned. What did this mean?

"Ever since the arrests of officials for corruption, only one in ten or twelve of the transfer orders issued by the Ministry of Personnel have been carried out." The prince glanced at him and whispered, "These old foxes, everyone speaks in high-sounding words, but secretly they are just greedy for life and afraid of death."

Jin Liu had heard some rumors before about cruel officials in power and students who would rather die than enter the government, but he just thought it was a joke. He didn't expect it to be true! He was speechless for a moment. The cruel official mentioned here was himself.

"What are you thinking about!" The prince saw through his thoughts, kicked him and said with a smile, "Come on, you did a great job on this matter, go back and have a good rest, and have a good time with your two brothers. I'll take care of the things in the future, so you don't have to worry about it!"

Jin Liu waited for the prince to finish taking the medicine, and watched him review the memorials for a while. Unable to resist his constant urging, he went straight out. However, as soon as he arrived at the gate of the East Palace, he was stopped by He Lang, who smiled and said, "Your Highness, the emperor has summoned you to the imperial study to answer a question!"

In the imperial study, the emperor was reviewing memorials. The memorials in front of him were piled like a mountain, three or four times more than those from the crown prince's side.

Jin Liu was stunned for a moment, and the emperor asked without even looking up: "Did you see that low table?"

He looked back and indeed saw a low table piled with memorials.

"Separate the memorials according to their contents, put those with similar contents together, and write your comments and put them inside." He didn't say anything extra, and even looked at the memorials in his hand while speaking.

Jin Liu was stunned for a moment, and said hurriedly: "Father, I am just a prince. According to the rules, I have no right to participate..."
