over ten thousand people

I returned to the hotel angrily, and I didn't even have any appetite for dinner.Liu Jin watched his words and expressions, tiptoedly made a pot of tea, and then quietly backed away.

This time and twice, I was really angry.But I can almost be sure that Xie Jingyu doesn't really understand why.He thought I was angry with him for his bold offense, indeed; but I was not angry with him for crossing the line between ruler and minister, but for his rudeness and abruptness——

Think about it, if someone kisses you suddenly and forcefully, aren't you being very polite by not punching him back?

In fact, I can understand him, after all, I have deliberately left him alone for three or four hours before, and probably already thought of the worst.Compared with death, a forced kiss may not even be considered an impulse.But what really saved him was not my understanding, but his immediate apology after the impulsiveness.I dare to swear to the throne, if he wanted to go further, he would already be in Lingnan Road now.

Apart from knowing how to advance and retreat, his talent is also the reason why I keep him.Liu Bei visited the thatched cottage three times and asked Zhuge Liang to come out of the mountain, which shows the importance of talents to the king.It's not that he is the only one who is talented in the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty, but he is indeed top-notch, otherwise the emperor would not be able to leave him to me.Why use the ordinary when there is the best?

In this way, of course I will seriously consider the possibility of continuing to use him but causing complications.The best case is that he knows his way back, and everything will develop in the direction of a sage king and minister; but the worst case...

Considering that I have dreamed about my enshrining in the Ancestral Temple——I can still be the emperor for 56 years—the attempt to usurp the throne can be ruled out first.Then, there are only three possibilities left: first, Xie Jingyu is too aggressive, and I despise him; second, Xie Jingyu has always controlled his mind very well, and I know it as if I don’t know it. The road to the sage king and virtuous minister; third, Xie Jingyu planned carefully, and I also liked him in the end...

To be honest, I don't know what it means to like someone, but I really don't hate Xie Jingyu.After all, his conditions are there, and it is quite difficult to hate him.To be more honest, compared to the idea of ​​drafting to enrich the harem, I think Xie Jingyu is better. At least I have a common language with him, and there are not a lot of potential relatives to worry about.

What?Say Xie Jingyu is a man?

I am the person who will be called Emperor Zuwen in later generations. According to the "Book of Rites", I belong to the eternal sect among the seven temples of the Son of Heaven. Don't I like both men and women?

Thinking of this, I calmed down and was in the mood to drink tea.Liu Jin may not be able to do anything else, but there is nothing to say about his tea making skills; the tea soup is bright red and has a lasting fragrance, which is worthy of being the top Huzhou red.I took a few sips, and couldn't help thinking, Xie Jingyu is indeed a unparalleled scholar, but he is also a pure minister; even if he has that kind of heart, he probably won't be able to pass his own test...

Not everyone can dream about what happened in the next 5000 years, and then have a clear judgment on their own positioning; my expectations of him may be too high.

Xie Jingyu's stunned face appeared in front of my eyes again, but I quickly threw this image away. "Liu Jin, get ready, I'm going to take a shower and go to bed."

A night without dreams.

When I opened my eyes again, I was very refreshed.Liu Jin has probably accepted that when I get angry, I will get better after a while, and never mentions what happened yesterday, but obediently serves me to wash and dress.When the breakfast was about to run out, Wang Ruojun sent a message, saying that he had suffered a bit of wind on Zhoushan yesterday, and that he would take sick leave today.

Nothing happened, so I went to see him in person.As a result, the old man was flushed and coughed repeatedly, and his illness was much worse than I imagined. The accompanying imperial doctor said that he might not be able to get out of bed for three to five days.

The original plan was to stay in Luo Mansion for seven to ten days, but the return journey could not be delayed.However, Shangshuling is currently vacant, and Shangshusheng is only a right servant, who will do the job of managing the six officials?

I called Xu Xing, the Minister of Shangshu, to ask.Fortunately, the weather has turned cold recently, and there are not many things to do; apart from the Luo Dam, which is about to start construction, the relatively important things are winter clothes and compassion for the widows.

If Lidong is in Xingjing, I have to take all the officials out of the suburbs for a ceremony.As for giving winter clothes and shirts to orphans and widows, it’s not difficult to say, but it covers a wide range, and you need to check them one by one to avoid unevenness or omissions.The first draft of the household department has been sent, and it must be reviewed and sent back to Xingjing in the next few days, so as to catch up with Lidong.

After fighting the Huns for three years, there were many orphans and widows left after the victory. The pension for them must not be delayed.According to Wang Ruojun's intentions, either he will take the examination while sick, or he will teach Xu Xing to do the examination.But when he said these words intermittently, his cough was horrifying, so I naturally couldn't agree.

There are not many officials accompanying them, and most of them have never worked in the Ministry of Household Affairs. Calling them will only add to the chaos... For the present, there is only one plan. "Tell Xie Fengge to come." I rubbed my brows and ordered Liu Jin.

In fact, Xie Jingyu had never worked in the household department.Fortunately, Wang Ruojun has already read part of it and left comments; he has learned it quickly because of the reference.In addition, he is very familiar with the situation of the Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of War, and he was more familiar with the Huns in the First World War, so he has an advantage in doing it.After working overtime for two days, Xu Xing's eyes were wrong in the end, probably because he was frightened enough by Xie Jingyu's work efficiency.

The free time after I finished approving the paperwork was also used to look at the accounts, and the performance of the two of them competing for judgment was naturally taken into account, and my heart was complicated and unspeakable.After the final draft was completed, Xu Xing went to hand it over to the official station. I leaned on the couch and began to close my eyes to rest.

Ganan was lit in the smoker, and the mild and mellow aroma brought a faint sweetness, which was very refreshing.

"His Majesty."

I was a little annoyed at being woken up just before falling asleep.Opening his eyes again, Xie Jingyu was still standing in the previous position. "Do you have anything else to do?" I asked him, already awake. "No, I just have something to ask you."

"Minister..." Xie Jingyu opened his mouth to speak, but swallowed the rest after hearing my words, "Please speak first, Your Majesty."

I don't know what he wants to do after staying, and I'm not in the mood to play guessing. "I'm going to transfer you to Shangshu Province. It can take three years at the earliest, or five years at the slowest time. You can do the Shangshuling." I said straightforwardly, "But if you don't want to, forget it. I don't like forcing people to make things difficult."

A trace of surprise passed over Xie Jingyu's face very quickly. "minister……"

"You think it over before you speak," I warned him, "I will ask you one last time."

"I couldn't be more willing." Xie Jingyu said immediately, without any hesitation.

This is a bit of a surprise to me. "Have you figured it out again?" I asked him, but I didn't really need an answer, "Then let's do it this way. I will take care of Wang Xiang's side, so you don't have to worry." After a pause, I asked again : "What did you want to say just now?"

Xie Jingyu shook his head. "Your Majesty has already said what I want to say."

I looked him up and down, not in the mood to delve into it. "Okay, you step back."

Xie Jingyu did not follow suit. "Your Majesty..." He hesitated, "Are you still annoyed?"

I wasn't angry anymore, but when he mentioned it like this, it just made me angry. "Xie Fengge is worrying too much," I couldn't help but imitate his nonchalant tone, "Where do I get so much free time?"

Xie Jingyu is not stupid, he can tell it naturally. "Your Majesty," he called again, stepping forward suddenly, "It was all my fault before, please forgive me, Your Majesty."

I stared at him, not knowing whether his step was unconscious or intentional. "Oh? What are you guilty of?"

"The first time was that I was too abrupt and offended His Majesty. The second time was that I was too stupid to understand His Majesty's painstaking efforts."

When Xie Jingyu said this, he looked at me without blinking.I have to admit that he looks quite sincere like this, but... things are not so easy. "I can tell the difference between right and wrong. Since I allow you to be the minister, all of these will naturally be exposed."

"Your Majesty!" Xie Jingyu said urgently, and took another step forward, "You know exactly what I'm talking about!"

"Isn't it?" I pretended to be stupid on purpose.

"Your Majesty!" Xie Jingyu became more anxious, and the remaining distance disappeared in his approach, "If you make a mistake, you must correct it. Your Majesty, please give me a chance to make up for it."

I tilted my head slightly to see his face clearly. "What to make up for? Do you think I am such a narrow-minded person?"

Xie Jingyu must have noticed my movements, because he immediately knelt down along the side of the collapse. "Your Majesty has always been magnanimous, but I can't do it. If you make a mistake, you are wrong; if you don't correct it, you will not be able to sleep peacefully every day."

Right now his face is almost on the side of my legs, and I can clearly see the blood in his eyes and the bruises on his face.I thought he was working overtime at night behind my back, but it turned out to be for this reason?

I used to be more or less joking, but now I can't. "What if I say it's too late?"

Xie Jingyu was shocked. "...Your Majesty," he said, his face was ashen, but his words were stubborn, "as long as Your Majesty is willing to give you a chance, it is never too late."

That being said, I feel sorry for him. "Xie Fengge, you have to be careful. The woman who wants to marry you may have to go around Xingjing three times. How dare you fight with me? Wait three to five years, and you will change from Xie Fengge to Xie Zhongtai. To be trampled by a matchmaker..."

"Your Majesty!" Xie Jingyu called out as if he couldn't bear it anymore.

It seems that I have said too much, so I self-criticized.Looking at him again, the muscles in his cheeks were tense, and his teeth were clenched.It's okay to be angry, but it's not good to be angry... I thought to myself, and wanted to pat him on the shoulder to show comfort, but the moment I moved my hand, I was caught.

The other person's strange and scorching body temperature came through the palm, and I didn't quite get used to it.I want to take it back, but I can't. "What's wrong with you?" I asked helplessly.

"I think..." Xie Jingyu only started.Because he immediately closed his mouth, lowered his head, and slowly pressed his lips to the back of my hand.

His hands were tense, but his lips were gentle, dry and hot to the touch.It was clearly printed on the back of the hand, but it seemed to burn all the way to the heart.

I trembled slightly, and wanted to withdraw my hand again, but this time I succeeded easily.

Xie Jingyu was still kneeling, with a desperate expression. "Your Majesty wanted to do this when I was in the Guanque Tower... I am the one who dared to overstep. Your Majesty, please punish me."
