over ten thousand people

At this time, there is only half a month left before Lidong.After harvesting the crops from the field, there is no important business, and it is like this every year.When I was not halfway through, I had already finished approving all the memorials.Nothing to worry about, I went to practice archery for another hour, and then went on to eat and rest after sweating.

The afternoon is usually reserved for ministers to meet with them.I originally wanted to practice calligraphy and read books, but the imperial physician sent to Yongmeng Mansion has not returned yet, which in turn made me think of another troublesome thing that has not been completed. "Liu Jin," I uttered, and couldn't help pressing my temples, thinking that the night would be long and full of dreams, it would be better to cut the mess quickly, "Go and call Du Shangshu and Zhou Sheren, and tell me that I have something to order."

The two people who were called arrived soon.Du Jianzhi was of a high rank, so he took a step forward consciously and asked for instructions: "I don't know why your Majesty called the ministers to come here?"

I picked out a book from the lower stack of books on the table, Liu Jin immediately took it knowingly, and handed it to Du Jianzhi. "Let's read Duchamp's book first."

Du Jianzhi was a little puzzled, but after opening the memorial, he became clear. "This is the list of women who passed the primary election of Zongzheng Temple."

"Look."

Du Jianzhi followed his advice.But for a moment, his understanding quickly turned back to doubt, and the degree was even worse than before. "Does Your Majesty want ministers to make books and treasures?"

I nodded. "The reason why I asked you to come here today is precisely for the draft. Du Qing, after finishing your treasure book, hand it over to Zhou Qing to draw up an imperial edict, and then ask the internal servant to start the specific affairs."

However, Du Jianzhi did not immediately accept the order.He read the papers back and forth twice, very hesitant, and finally said: "There are 28 women who passed the primary selection of Zongzheng Temple. Your Majesty only selected two of them, isn't it a bit...too few?"

To be honest, I knew he would object.But another truth is, I think two is too much. "Just those two."

When I seldom give orders without listening to suggestions, Du Jianzhi hesitates even more. "But……"

On the one hand, Zhou Bubi heard the whole story from the beginning to the end, even if he didn't read the scriptures, just from the conversation between Zhen and Du Jianzhi, he could understand what happened at the moment. "Your Majesty has always been simple, and the number of officials in the court is the smallest in all dynasties. But when it comes to handling things, I'm afraid it's not inferior to the past dynasties. It can be seen that people are more expensive than fine." He talked eloquently, "Your Majesty I think that even if it is placed here, this principle also applies.”

Zhou Bubi actually stood by my side, Du Jianzhi's expression has become extremely surprised at this moment.He glanced at Zhou Bubi who had a calm face, then looked at Zhen who was calm and expressionless, and suddenly his face was stunned, as if he felt that I must have vented with Zhou Bubi first. "I understand," he bowed and said, "I will do it now."

Although he still has doubts, I only want his words.Anyway, there is no one above me, so I have the final say; even if my sister has some opinions, it will not be too forceful.

After Du Jianzhi resigned first, Zhou Bubi spoke again: "I have prepared one, two or three reasons, but Du Shangshu did not allow me to use them." Between the words, it was quite a pity.

"Really?" Zhen raised his eyebrows, almost amused by him—you must know that I really didn't let Zhou Bubi sing the oboe with me—"What are the other two?"

Zhou Bubi followed suit with a smile. "Since it's useless, I don't need to waste His Majesty's time by talking about it."

I looked at him and didn't speak immediately.Zhou Bubi had decided earlier that he would assist me in accomplishing great things; since he was transferred to Zhongshu Province, he had more chances to meet the saint, and his attitude became more and more obvious.I guess, the two things he didn't mention are nothing more than the fact that the world is not yet ready for me to enjoy it, so I must not indulge in female sex.And the most important thing—if I wanted to hear objections, I would never call them both in private. "Then do you know how to draft the imperial edict?"

"Of course it's according to what His Majesty said, the more low-key the better, don't be extravagant and wasteful." Zhou Bubi got what he deserved very quickly, without any hesitation.

I nodded, quite satisfied that he remembered my words so clearly. "In your opinion, when will this be completed?"

Zhou Bubi thought about it. "According to the "Book of Rites", the six rituals are indispensable. The affairs involved are cumbersome, and I think that since this is the first time, we must be careful and make sure there are no mistakes. Calculated in this way, it may not be until the end of next year at the earliest."

This is right in my heart.Not to mention whether it went well or not; I have been working hard to save money for the purpose of fighting Huihe or building the Grand Canal in the next year or the next.No matter which one it is, when things get more complicated, no one will remember the two insignificant women. "Fine, let's do it."

Zhou Bubi immediately took the order to retreat.

I was ready to forcefully persuade the two of them - after all, it is easier to deal with the two than to deal with the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty, and I can avoid more troubles if I set the tone first - but this matter went so smoothly that it was beyond my expectations expected.Zhou Bubi's attitude made me realize slowly that if I want to avoid possible forced marriages in the future, the best way is to promote someone who thinks like him to be a close or important minister.

Wouldn't it be the best of both worlds to have fewer pedantic scholars and more capable people?

Even I myself can't help but feel that this calculation is too loud.But it is more or less feasible, I plan to try it, there is no harm left or right.So to sum it up, the news of the imperial doctor is short...

Before Yongzhi came, I couldn't think of Yongmeng at all, but now I'm waiting desperately for his medical report.Fortunately, my patience has not been greatly tested——

Time passed, and the three imperial physicians came back.Although all of them spoke vaguely and ambiguously, deeply rooted in the common essence of doctors throughout the ages, I still understood the conclusion—heart disease is hard to cure.If I hadn't summoned them almost without a pause, as if I was very concerned about Yongmeng's condition, they would definitely think that Yongmeng's heart disease was caused by my scolding.

The truth may not be too different, but the real reason is far from their guess.After asking a few words, I let them go back to the Imperial Medical Bureau, and thanked Jingyu for their visit.

Xie Jingyu didn't show the slightest surprise that Yongmeng's illness was actually a heart attack. "Your Majesty spoke too harshly at that time." He said, frowning slightly, still disapproving.

Of course, I categorically deny this. "When I'm angry, how can I care so much? Besides, if I don't say no, will he give up honestly? Doesn't the current situation mean that my strong medicine is effective?"

If it were something else, Xie Jingyu would definitely point out that this is [-]% irrational.But this matter is different, no matter how rational he is, he can't completely stand on my side. "I know what your majesty means, so I naturally accept your majesty's affection." Although he said so, his face was still full of worries, "I'm just afraid..." He sighed a little and didn't continue.

I know what Xie Jingyu didn't say in the back.If you only mention working ability, it is really difficult for the ministers of the DPRK and China to have Yongmeng's opponent.What Xie Jingyu is worried about is that if Yongmeng dies, I won't be able to use someone like him. "If he doesn't want to, I don't want to make things difficult for others." I stated in a flat tone, "After all, he has a choice."

Xie Jingyu didn't react immediately. "What do you mean by His Majesty's words?"

"The King of Wei has already asked for a month's leave, and today he asked for another two months." I glanced at Zhezidui, "A hundred days of leave, and the official suspension. Mr. Xie was the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, and he should be very clear about this. .”

In other words, if Yongmeng really didn't want to do it, just ask for another ten days off.

Xie Jingyu's eyes widened slightly, obviously he really didn't expect it. "There is indeed such a provision in the false report, but there has never been such a precedent in this dynasty."

Of course I know this.After finally becoming an official, who wants to be dismissed for nothing?There are two precedents of being stuck for nearly [-] days, working for a day, and then asking for leave-of course, the end of doing so is that they are all impeached by the speaker. "Twisted melons are not sweet." I continued to talk about what I had considered before, "If the King of Wei still has a knot in his heart, I can't let him go. If this is the case, it is better to suspend the official. And his winter solstice day If it doesn't show up yet..."

The winter solstice this year is exactly three months after the Mid-Autumn Festival.Moreover, the winter solstice court meeting is a grand court, and all officials must participate, followed by a seven-day holiday.Therefore, if Yongmeng wanted to continue working, he could only choose to sell holidays during the Winter Solstice, not afterward.

Seeing that I was silent, Xie Jingyu was also silent for a while.After a while, he finally spoke: "There are still two months before the winter solstice. I think this period of time is enough for His Royal Highness Wei Wang to think clearly."

His subtext is biased towards Yongzhi's appearance, and I actually think so.But no matter what Yongmeng thinks, I must be prepared. "Don't mention him." Zhen waved his hand, then changed the subject, and talked about how Zhou Bubi choked Du Jianzhi just now.

Xie Jingyu was almost dumbfounded when he heard it, especially the regretful sentence "Du Shangshu didn't let the minister come in handy". "His Majesty has long said that Zhou Sheren is straightforward. Now that I look at it, I really answered His Majesty's words."

When he said that, it inevitably reminded me of Zhou Bubi when he just became a member of Zhongshushe. "Xie Xiang thinks, is this person useful?" I asked him deliberately.

Xie Jingyu definitely knew why I was dragging my tongue, but he pretended not to notice. "Your Majesty knows people well and makes good use of them, and my ministers can't match them."

As long as you can talk, I can't help but slander, I didn't know how sour back then!But Xie Jingyu is lucky, I don't plan to settle old scores with him today. "Lidong is coming soon."

"Huh?" Turning to solar terms all of a sudden, Xie Jingyu didn't keep up with my rhythm at all.

"Yesterday, the inner government reported that this year's winter clothes have been made." I pointed to the case on the side, "I kept one of yours."

Xie Jingyu blinked, but didn't look in that direction at all. "Didn't the winter clothes be given by His Majesty on the day of Lidong? Isn't it a bit early now?"

I can't help but stare at him.This person, why doesn't he know what it means to open a small stove!In order not to hit the eyes, I also pressed down one of the winter clothes of the other prime ministers. Is it easy for me? "You try it first." When I spoke again, I had to suppress the idea of ​​complaining, "If there is something wrong, there is still time to ask the inner government to reform."

The next step is usually to try on clothes, but Xie Jingyu's reaction seems to only see me. "Your Majesty, don't you understand?" He asked softly, but it was not a real question or a rhetorical question. "As long as it is bestowed by His Majesty, it is extremely appropriate no matter what—" His voice sounded like spring water, and his eyes were also bent, "Because Your Majesty has always been in my heart."
