over ten thousand people

Probably because of my elder sister's reassurance, in the next few days, I no longer had the same gloomy face as before, and the gloom covering the front and back palace was swept away in an instant.Taking advantage of this opportunity, all the officials rushed to report the work progress of these days——

Farming is going to be busy soon, and water conservancy matters are about to be put on the agenda; the Ministry of Rites has sent orders to collect historical records to all states and counties, and has sent many people to supervise the work; For joint training, candidates recommended by the state capital will come to Beijing soon.

—Look, these people just want to be frightened!

I can't help feeling like I've been suffocating for nothing these days.Of course, it is best for them to correct themselves.After all, if I really get angry, I won't want the black hats on their heads.

Speaking of which, there are still very few officers.Before, there was a Hun war going on ahead, so it was hard to see; when I was ready to use internal affairs, the weak links were exposed.

Under this premise, I can't help but have great expectations for this year's Xinke Scholars.On the second day of April, the palace examination was held on time in Yan'en Hall.As for the topic, I have already prepared——

Choose any element in agriculture, forestry, water conservancy, Hongwen, and official administration, and combine recent policies to state the pros and cons; it would be better if you can point out the current disadvantages.

To describe it in the words of later generations, it should be similar to an argument that follows current events.

Even I have to admit that the topic is really not easy.After all, these edicts were promulgated on the dark day of the first lunar month of this year, and it has only been two months since then. It is impossible to see any major effects, nor is it easy to see any major disadvantages; Gefu, it is estimated that it is really the same as what Zhou Bubi said, and it will take ten or eight years to cultivate it before it can be put to great use.

It is also because of this that I allow them to go to Jinwuluo Mountain from Maoshi.In order to avoid possible tension, I deliberately did not stay in Yan En Hall, and only let a few invigilators from the Ministry of Rites patrol from time to time.Anyway, there is no previous work on this kind of topic to copy, and there is no need for me to keep staring at it.

At the time of the examination in the Yanen Hall, I discussed matters with the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Officials at the Hongwen Hall.

Du Jianzhi also felt that the questions were too difficult, but in the end it was me who judged, so he made an opinion, suggesting that I relax the requirements when grading papers; the officials are more concerned about whether they will be selected in the future, so I will let them be responsible for the failure of today's exam the human part.After all, if I feel that a Jinshi has unique insights, I know where to put him.

After all the affairs were clearly divided, the Ministry of officials and others were ordered to resign.I kept Du Jianzhi and asked him about the progress of the Hongwen Museum in detail before letting him go.Afterwards, I began to look through several newly collected ancient books.I wanted to flip through it casually, but I always couldn't put it down once I picked up the book, and I forgot the time when I read it.

After noon, Liu Jin couldn't bear it anymore and came in to ask the lunch time.Only then did I realize that I was hungry, so I could only put down the scroll in my hand and ordered to eat.But seeing Liu Jin's expression as if he was constipated after his death, I knew there was something else going on. "What's wrong with you?"

"Return to Your Majesty, Prime Minister Xie has been waiting outside the Hongwen Hall for a long time." Liu Jin said hurriedly, obviously wishing I could ask him.

Xie Jingyu...

Inexplicably, I have been left alone for so long, and with his temper, he should not be able to bear it...

I couldn't help but sigh in my heart. "Xie Xiang didn't let you pass it on?"

"Xie Xiang said that he can just wait for His Majesty to go out, and there is no need to disturb His Majesty." Liu Jin replied, while quietly looking at my expression, "But the old slave thinks, although the sun is not bad recently, I can't call him Xie." Xiang has been standing like that..."

"Okay, I got it." I waved my hand, and the headache reappeared, "Ask Mr. Xie to come in and share lunch with me."

Liu Jin seemed to be pardoned, and hurried out with small steps.After a while, Xie Jingyu came in, and the lunch that had been prepared was served on the table like water.

"Sit down, thank you." I pointed to a chair.

Xie Jingyu followed his advice.

There are dishes and cloths served by the maids of the palace, and the lunch is quite peaceful.

I don't need to look at the look on Xie Jingyu's face at all, because he won't show any flaws in front of people.After all the dishes and chopsticks were removed, and the maid also left, I opened my mouth and said: "There is a saying in ancient times, you can't talk when you eat and sleep. Now that the lunch is over, you can say anything if you want to thank me."

Xie Jingyu paused. "Since Shangsi, Your Majesty has been in a bad mood. If I have done something wrong, please tell Your Majesty clearly." His eyes were still clear, but deep down there was a trace of undetectable sadness.

"It has nothing to do with you." I feel more and more guilty.Can I tell him that I can foresee some things behind me, so I may blame him when I am troubled?

"Your Majesty." Xie Jingyu called again, expressing his disbelief.

Even in private, as long as he can do it, Xie Jingyu will abide by the limits of the monarch and his ministers.For example, now, if he puts himself in the position of the person I want, he can ask me why.

But he didn't.

As he said, "Look at him from a distance, and follow him from a distance." He will not give me any chance to send him to a remote place.Of course, if I want to find some unreasonable reasons, he can't help it.But the problem is that I have never been looking for an emperor for no reason.

Therefore, as long as he doesn't make mistakes, no matter what the future is between me and him, he can stay by my side.

How to repay?How can I report?

I'm getting more and more upset.Looking up at him again, I feel that he must have a hard time in the near future, but at the same time, I don't think of a way to balance both sides, I am really in a dilemma.However, the more muddled it is, the more damage is likely to be done.Instead of this, it is better to spread the word.

"I suddenly want to know, if I accept a concubine or even become a queen when I am weak, you will still..."

Xie Jingyu was a little surprised by my unfinished question.But he wasn't very surprised. He must have imagined all kinds of bad possibilities these days. "I have already said that, after a glimpse, I dare not forget it. No matter what happened in the past or what will happen in the future, I can't change my mind."

My heart sank.I knew it... But even if I had expected it long ago, I couldn't help but be deeply moved when I heard these words from the bottom of my heart. "I understand, and I don't doubt you. It's just that, wouldn't you be wronged too much?"

Hearing this, Xie Jingyu's body was shocked, and his reaction was even greater than before. "Your Majesty is worrying too much," he then stood up and solemnly gave me a big gift, "I never feel wronged."

This reaction is also what I can expect, and I can't help but remain silent.

Seeing that I was silent, Xie Jingyu continued talking. "Your Majesty is the king, above ten thousand people; it sounds like you can do whatever you want, but in fact it's not necessarily true. It's just a moment for me to get His Majesty's favor, and I'm lucky for my three lives, so why should I feel wronged? So I think, If His Majesty is worried about this, there is no need to."

Ha, that's really reasonable to say--

It's only normal for an emperor, not to mention his 81 royal wives, to want his own blood to inherit the throne.And he and I are both men, and we can't have a child in our dreams.That being the case, he feels that even if I dislike him one day, he has no objection; even if I want to marry a wife, he will never object.

The posture can be described as the ultimate minister, no one can fault it.However, when I really heard him say that, not only was I not happy, but all my previous guilt turned into anger. "Are you saying that if I want to become a queen, you don't care? Maybe you will happily submit a congratulatory form for the great Zhou Qianqiu?"

"Chen..." Xie Jingyu's forehead was about to touch the ground, and I couldn't see the expression on his face at all.He must have understood my cynicism, because his voice seemed to be trembling a little.But in the end, he still affirmed: "Yes, this is the duty of a minister."

... Are you here to talk to me about the duty of a courtier? !

OK, very good!

I'm just pissed off.If it wasn't for the fact that the table had just been cleaned up and there was nothing there, I might have hit him on the head.I've been having a headache for so long, but when it comes to Xie Jingyu's place, it's not a big deal at all?So what am I worrying about?

"Xie Xiang is really open-minded, but I'm in a cocoon." I gritted my teeth viciously.At this moment, if I look at him more, I might lose control. I just want to go back to Chengqing Hall immediately.

But when I strode towards the door, Xie Jingyu, who had been kneeling all this time, suddenly grabbed the corner of my robe.I was staggered, and after realizing what happened, I was about to go into a rage: "Bold! Don't let me go!"

"His Majesty……"

"Let go..." I was about to reprimand him again, when I suddenly felt something was wrong. "Look up for me."

Xie Jingyu was still kneeling stubbornly, and his hands were still clenched stubbornly. "I don't want to see His Majesty accompanied by other people closely, and I don't want His Majesty to have skin-to-skin contact with others," he said word by word, "But how can the important weapon of the country be moved by one person?"

This is almost exactly the same as what my sister said.I naturally understand this truth, but the more he talks, the more obvious that something is wrong, and I can't ignore it at all... "Look up, don't let me say it a third time."

"Your Majesty, I have finished what I want to say." Xie Jingyu replied like this, and let go of his hand.

The corner of the dragon robe is already wrinkled, but I don't notice it at all right now. "You..." I approached him, and he backed away in shock.So I was more sure of my guess, strode forward, clasped his shoulders with both hands, and pulled him up suddenly—the people on the ground wanted to resist, but the posture was not strong enough for me, and I still saw it——

Before he knew it, Xie Jingyu had already burst into tears.
