After becoming the king of the subjugated country

I'm ashamed to say that according to Ji Chen's initial preparations, he planned to stand up and prepare for the big wedding around April, but outside things happened one after another, and now it's the beginning of May, and Bai Qi is about to finish his work outside. It was barely appropriate.

Ji Chen called a few suitable people to take over Bai Qi's job, and he has already started to think about returning to the capital.

Anyway, he is the emperor, so he sneaked out once. If he really had to stay for a month or two, the ministers in the cabinet would have to vomit blood, and Ji Chen was still counting on taking Bai Qi out on a trip next time, so he didn't plan to make a fuss all at once. too much.

After a brief confession to Bai Qi, reluctantly saying goodbye, Ji Chen returned along the same road, under the brilliant star river, Ji Chen and his party quietly returned to the palace, just happened to bump into Qin Sheng who was out of his mind on the way back to the imperial study. .

Qin Sheng raised his head first, and was stunned, then rubbed his eyes in disbelief, his voice couldn't help rising, and there was a sense of disbelief in his words, "Your Majesty?"

Ji Chen was blunt and angry, as if he had really just been out and about, "You've worked hard these few days."

It's okay not to say anything, but as soon as he said this, Qin Sheng suddenly came back to his senses, his eyes were full of murderous intent, and he glared at Ji Chen.

Ji Chen was extremely magnanimous, and gave Qin Sheng a small gift box, "The pair of walnuts brought up by the county guard below are for you. Let's go to the meeting." Of course, not only Qin Sheng, but the rest of the people also have gifts, It is a reward for their hard work during this time.

The lamp was still on in the imperial study room, only Bai Qi who was far away was missing among the five cabinet ministers, and the rest sat on chairs, watching the memorial and sighing from time to time.

During this period of time, Ning Yuan lost a lot of hair, and the amount of hair loss every day has caught up with Qin Sheng, and even has a faint tendency to surpass it.Hearing the creaking sound of the door opening, he inadvertently glanced at the door, and his casual voice almost screamed, "Who——Your Majesty!"

"I won't see you in seven days. How are you all?" Ji Chen showed a smile. Eunuch Xin acted according to circumstances, brought tea and snacks to Ji Chen, and then turned his head to tell the people in the imperial dining room to prepare dinner. The ministers share the meal.

Qin Sheng sneered, apparently still angry, leaned back on the chair, closed his eyes to rest, put his hands in his pockets, and began to stroke the gift box.

Ning Yuan sighed, touched his head, and pulled out two hairs, "Now that His Majesty is back, we will be fine."

Xing Yi's eyes were full of disapproval, "Forget it, it's fine if His Majesty comes back. Your Majesty is going out for a while, Eunuch Xin, you should call someone from the Tai Hospital to come over and take His Majesty's pulse."

Tears flickered in Master Qian's eyes, "Your Majesty, you must be safe."

Mr. Qian cried very sincerely, he managed to please the emperor, if the emperor died outside, wouldn't his so much investment in the early stage be in vain.

After calming down the four important ministers in front of him, Ji Chen finally got a little serious, talked about the situation in He'an County, and said, "I didn't stay long, only three days, go back quickly, help Bai Qi made some decisions, met with a few county magistrates, and set out some tasks for them, which did not disturb the people, but also saw the situation outside."

After listening to Ji Chen's words, Xing Yi couldn't help sighing, "Your Majesty, you have to discuss it with us when you go out. After all, you have to put out a guard of honor, and you need to bring some people with you. About [-] elite soldiers and about [-] people who serve you are in line with the emperor's travel standards."

Qin Sheng frowned, "This is a bit of a waste of time and money, but it doesn't have to be like this. In my opinion, among other things, I need to bring some bookcases with me, and the Imperial Forest Army will send the latest memorials to His Majesty every day. "

Ji Chen didn't bother with this, "Don't worry, anyway, I won't leave the palace for the next six months, and we can discuss things next time."

Ning Yuan laughed, afraid that Ji Chen would run away and find no one, "Brother Qian, what do you think?"

Master Qian lowered his head to drink tea, and waited for Ning Yuan to get impatient, before he said slowly: "I think what Brother Xing said makes sense, and what Qin Sheng said is also right."

Eunuch Xin stood on one side, refilling tea for them, he couldn't hold back, and rolled his eyes outside, it's just nonsense!

Ji Chen turned his head and talked about Xia Guo's affairs again, "Twenty witch doctors who went to He'an County ran away, but we searched for a long time, and finally caught three. They are being interrogated. This time, these witch doctors Wanting to leave also exposed a lot of Xia Guo's spies."

Just as Qin Sheng was about to reach out to hold the teacup, he suddenly stopped, and said uncertainly, "How do I remember that the witch doctors sent by Xia Guo were 22 people?"

"That's right." Ji Chen calmly said, "It's indeed 22."

Before Master Qian could react, he tried his best to keep up with Ji Chen's train of thought, "Twenty people ran away, three were caught, and the total number is 22. Isn't that right? Why is there one more person?"

Qin Sheng quickly recalled that when he first met Ji Chen, the group of people who were with him, finally selected a face, and said firmly: "Tang Qian hasn't come back, usually he should send you back in person to rest assured."

Ji Chen frowned, smiled without saying a word.

There was one person missing in the territory of Yue State, and one person was added to Xia State's team.

Courtesy is reciprocal, but that's it.

They discussed things very late, and finally rested in the palace together. Fortunately, Ji Chen had already prepared a room for the old man and some important officials for them to rest temporarily.

When Ji Chen left, Lord Qian couldn't help but sigh with emotion, "I thought these rooms were useless, but I didn't expect His Majesty to leave. We discussed memorials all day long, but stayed here for several nights."

Xing Yi recalled the busyness of the past few days, and couldn't help but change his face, his expression was complicated, "It's just convenient to get up in the middle of the night to change official documents."

Ning Yuan patted Qin Sheng on the shoulder, sighing, full of anticipation, "Qin Sheng, in the future, you will need to take over the position of chief assistant in the cabinet. I think you are already very good now, and you are not as good as Qin Taishi." It's bad, maybe it's more suitable for this position than me."

"What's the matter?" Qin Sheng held Ning Yuan's hand with extra force, "Master Ning, according to your age, it's not too much for me to teach you to be an uncle. When you first took up the position of chief assistant at the end of last year, you You said it to our faces, you will fight for your majesty and for the country for another ten years!"

The two looked at each other, and their eyes were full of swords and swords.

On the second day, Ji Chen rested all night and finally found energy to meet Xia Guo's envoys.

Xia Guo's envoys were taken ten meters away from Ji Chen. They were all sloppy, their eyes were full of expectation, their mouths were gagged and they kept uttering vague syllables, as if they had something to say.

Eunuch Xin looked regretful, and respectfully said to Ji Chen: "Your Majesty, these envoys of the Xia Kingdom all harbor evil intentions, spy on the emperor, and intend to kidnap your majesty, so I tied them up."

Ji Chen nodded, glanced casually, and commented one by one, "It should be quite valuable to be sent here. Then I will tell the Xia people that three hundred catties per person, I only want gold."

The envoys headed by Xia Guo struggled desperately, and their clothes were torn in several places. Eunuch Xin said sternly: "If you want to survive, my lord, you should be more honest."

Ji Chen looked at him with some pity, "Forget it, he is so ignorant, let's lower the price, he is not worth three hundred catties of gold, just two hundred and five."

Eunuch Xin almost didn't laugh, he said loudly: "Yes, Your Majesty, I will take this two hundred and five down."

The envoy headed by Xia Guo glared at the two of them angrily, their chests kept heaving, and finally passed out with two hundred and five blows of anger.

The important task of going to Xia Guo was handed over to a courtier who Ji Chen had a little impression of.

What really embarrassed Ji Chen was the third day of the Great Court Assembly. During the seven days, even though Ning Yuan and others tried their best to block the news, some people still found out that Ji Chen was not in the palace, and those who had different intentions were dealt with. On the third day who cared about Ji Chen, he kept staring at Ji Chen.

The pot was dumped by Ji Chen to the envoys of the Xia Kingdom, the reason being that they were uneasy and well-intentioned, Ji Chen used his plan and captured a group of Xia Guo spies, Yunyun, and barely dealt with the courtiers.

Moreover, during the few days since Ji Chen left, good news came one after another.

Within the scope of the Ministry of Industry, the floods in He'an County dissipated, the dike breaks in the surrounding areas were rebuilt, and the excavation of the canal was restarted. The Baiyi people were almost washed away this time. Water flow, now all members of the Baiyi people participated in the construction of the canal, and the progress was accelerated further.

The Ministry of Accounting has been counting the accounts for two months in a row. Many people feel dizzy when they see the accounts. The digital account books left by Bi Xuan are of great help. people study together.

In the Ministry of Etiquette, Jiang Zilin didn't dare to relax for a moment. Even if Ji Chen left, he would meticulously prepare the items for the future empress's wedding, but, according to the original meaning, the empress's wedding is in spring, and many decorations are flowers , but now it is summer, many flowers have withered, and the spring wedding dress is not suitable for summer, these need further modification.

The Ministry of Officials was busy recording their performance for many officials. After all, this time the court worked together and many people performed very well, especially some county magistrates personally presided over this year's summer farming and worked hard to save the farmland. This year's rating can definitely be 'excellent'.

The Ministry of Criminal Justice is trying its best to try the case and sentence, and there is not much room left in the cells in the southwest of Kyoto.After all, this time the imperial court was in turmoil, and there were a lot of monsters and ghosts outside. Many spies from the Xia Kingdom were arrested, and their identities had to be checked many times, and how much information they had sent to the Xia Kingdom, so as to determine their status. where to go.

Naturally, there is no need to mention the Ministry of War. This time, the explosives prepared by Bi Xuan and Ji Pei showed their power. Several workshops of the Ministry of War have become the top priority. Unrelated people are not allowed to approach, but this time the explosives are almost completely consumed. Everything needs to be restocked these days.

There was a shortage of manpower everywhere, and the female officials were seconded many times, and then they simply stayed in the sixth department. They performed well in this incident, and finally won the favor of most people, and successfully took the first step into the court.This is a good opportunity for them, and this year is also a good opportunity for the development of Yue.

On the day when Ji Chen discussed meritorious deeds and gave rewards, in the court, he praised and praised those who performed well, and the little eunuch who rolled the name announced the rewards, and it took a full hour to read.Bai Qi and the others were already on their way back, and the things had already been delivered to their respective mansions.

Soon, someone found out something was wrong from the reward items.

Master Qian tried his best to wink at Xing Yi, signaling him to come out quickly, he has something to say.

Xing Yi kept a cold face, as if he didn't see it, when His Majesty was away, he needed to handle cabinet affairs with Lord Qian, and now that His Majesty came back, he vowed not to be with such villains.

Mr. Qian was not afraid, he simply stepped forward, lifted Xing Yi from the desk, dragged him out, and said directly before he could get angry: "Your Majesty may be conferring on Bai Qi!"

Xing Yi was taken aback, first snatched back his sleeve, and then Fox questioned: "Do you have evidence?"

Lord Qian counted with his fingers and showed him, "Your Majesty only rewarded Bai Qi with a red coral bonsai, and a bunch of worthless orphans."

Xing Yi sneered, "Those orphan copies are the best things for us."

Lord Qian's eyes were full of meaning, "Brother Xing, these orphan copies are nothing to His Majesty. Bai Qi is willing to go through life and death, and go to He'an to cure floods under such great pressure, is it just to get His Majesty's reward?" A bunch of orphan copies? These things are inferior to what His Majesty rewards us. If your sweetheart did this for you, would you only give these things? If it were me, I would definitely praise him In the palm of your hand, it is very kind to him. I see, His Majesty's most important reward is yet to come!"

Xing Yi's complexion kept changing, and finally he was helpless, "Then I'll go and find out. Let me tell you first, don't expect me to help you to praise Shangnan, Bai Qi has made great achievements in water control this time, so I don't allow you to step on it. I'm not talking to Bai Qi Qi has an opinion, I have an opinion on His Majesty's appointment of a male empress, Bai Qi can't do it, and Shang Nan can't do it either! How can a man be a queen if a man is not a king or a minister, it's a big joke!"

Putting this matter on his mind, Xing Yi reluctantly held his breath, and made an appointment with several courtiers first, not to mention the final selection of the draft, how long can it be delayed, now His Majesty is too concerned about this matter, maybe let it go Just let it go.

With such luck in mind, Xing Yi first went to Qin Sheng, who was the most well-informed, and invited him to drink tea politely, and then revealed his intentions by beating around the bush.

Qin Sheng pressed his eyebrows and spread his hands, "If Your Majesty is willing, then I can't stop it!"

Xing Yi was troubled, "Your Majesty can't..."

Qin Sheng laughed, "Lord Xing, why are you so good-looking? No one is perfect. They are all saints. Your Majesty will always have someone he likes. If he holds Bai Qi and becomes the queen, so what Woolen cloth?"

Xing also said unwillingly: "This is really not orthodox."

Qin Sheng calmed down, "So what?"

Probably young people tend to deviate from the old ways. Qin Sheng couldn't help feeling that this matter was not a big problem. On the contrary, Ji Chen was able to do it with all his strength and persisted until now. He admired Ji Chen's determination even more, and now he really blesses them.

Xing Yi took a deep breath, "Where is the child? What should I do? Your Majesty needs an heir, why don't you wait for His Majesty to establish a queen first, and then accept a few concubines?"

Qin Sheng shook his head, "If your majesty doesn't want to, there is still the clan, the clan is unreliable, and there are Ji Shao and Ji Pei. Your majesty and I have revealed that no matter whose first child is born, that child will be carried directly to the palace. , raised as an heir."

Xing Yi asked many more questions, but Qin Sheng explained them to him one by one, and even came up with a suitable countermeasure without much thinking. Discuss with His Majesty whether this happened or not! Saying this now is just to silence me. How long has Your Majesty been planning this matter? I have never seen His Majesty handle the memorial with such care! Also, Taifu Qin When His Majesty was away, he went to the palace to help with official affairs, but when His Majesty came back, Grand Master Qin left and hid in the Zhuangzi. Did he expect this to happen a long time ago? Could it be that Grand Master Qin also acquiesced? this matter!"

Speaking of Xing's head, Xing Yi's figure was crooked, and the hat on his head was also crooked, and then the hat fell off.

Qin Sheng gave him a meaningful look, then bowed his head and drank tea quietly.

Well, the tea is really fragrant, and the teacup is so pretty.

It's just that there is a reflective head reflected in it.

Qin Sheng thought to himself, among the people in their cabinet, Qin Sheng gradually showed signs of baldness, and Master Ning Yuanning did not give in. He thought Master Xing Yixing was an exception and never lost his hair. Unexpectedly, when he took off his hat, he Just put it down, it turns out that Xing Yi has no hair to fall off.

On the second day, Qin Sheng went to the Imperial Hospital to look for You Han, and said with a bitter face, "Do you still have the medicine for treating hair loss last time? Give me some more, and I will give it to Mr. Xing."

You Han put down the medicinal materials in his hand, walked across the room to the pharmacy in two or three steps, and quickly took back two bottles of medicine, "You need it too."

These four words were like a sharp sword, and Qin Sheng missed it in an instant. Qin Sheng wiped his face, "Don't mention it, Mr. You, I have to trouble you to prepare some more. There will be more troubles in the future, I'm afraid it will be this year. There is no peace. Oh, and if someone loses all their hair, will this still work?"

"It's hard to say, you bring the person here and I'll take a look," You Han wrote down the incident and asked casually, "What's wrong with Mr. Xing?"

Qin Sheng sighed unceasingly, and said, "Tomorrow, I will go to other places for inspection, and said that I will not return to Beijing until the end of the year."

I don't know if it was stimulated by his news, or by the amount of hair that I accidentally exposed.However, when Xing Yi left, he was out of sight and out of mind, and His Majesty lost another resistance.

There were lively exclamations from outside. Qin Sheng took the medicine bottle and went out to have a look, only to see a huge signboard was carried over, with four words written in iron pen and silver hook on it: help the world and save the people.

Qin Sheng found the doorway after just a glance, and his eyes lit up, "Is this His Majesty's word?"

The little official next to him said proudly: "Of course, this is the only reward. His Majesty also specially stamped it and gave it to Mr. You to reward her for her meritorious service in controlling the plague. Speaking of which, Mr. You worked very hard at that time. It can be said that it was day and night. I kept studying the prescriptions, and even tried some of them on myself..."

"Master Fu," You Han called him lightly, interrupting his words, "At that time, everyone was working hard, not just me."

The artisan from the Ministry of Industry who came here to deliver the signboard scratched his head, "My lord, where is this going to be hung? We'll hang it up for you."

You Han said seriously: "Let's hang it on the door of the Tai Hospital. This is the credit of everyone in the Tai Hospital."

The noisy and noisy crowd gradually fell silent. They all looked at You Han, and even Zheng San stopped making noise. He thought that in the future he must change and learn from You Han. He must be worthy of these four. One word is fine.

After seeing off the people from the Ministry of Industry, You Han stood in the first place under the urging of everyone, pulled down the red silk on the signboard, and looked at the four words on it, and she couldn't help showing a genuine smile.

Qin Sheng looked at this signboard with a little envy. The honor bestowed by the emperor was carved and hung on the door plaque. Now everyone praises it. In the future, it will be famous in history. Xinglin will always leave the name You Han. This is a great deal. Glory is the best compliment to Tai Hospital and You Han.

You Han said leisurely: "Actually, His Majesty and I have asked for another item."

Qin Sheng couldn't help asking: "What is it?"

You Han took out an ivory token and shook it in front of him, "It's His Majesty's token. With it, I can meet with county officials in all places, and I can also enter and exit various counties safely. After next year, Your Majesty I am also allowed to travel for nine months a year, and I only need to stay in the palace for three months to get His Majesty's pulse, and everything in the Imperial Hospital is reserved for me, and I can come back anytime."

Speaking of this, You Han finally showed a sincere smile, "I want to travel all over the world, to see more people, to see more diseases, so that I can live up to the words of helping the world and saving people. "

Xing was not the first one to be notified by Mr. Qian, on the contrary, the gambling house in the capital was the one.

Due to the strict crackdown on gambling during this period of time, coupled with the hustle and bustle of the court, the people below were not allowed to make trouble. For a while, countless casinos were closed, and only Boss Zhou's casino was still strong. Of course, Mr. Qian I also discussed with Boss Zhou, and for the last bet, I will bet on who will be the second place, and the casino will be closed the next day after the bet.

With the relief of the floods and the disappearance of the plague, Kyoto became lively again. People coming and going walked on the streets, slipping into gambling houses and teahouses from time to time, listening to the latest news from Kyoto.

"It's open, it's open, I've decided to leave, Mr. Bai Qi has returned to Beijing, and I can see that it's not far from the next candidate." Boss Zhou's voice was particularly loud, and behind him were two sections of bright red silk, The names of Bai Qi and Shang Nan were written on them respectively, and the people in the casino cheered one after another, and the sound of playfulness spread to the street.

The hawker pushed a small cart and began to sell fresh buns, and the aroma of various dishes wafted from the restaurant.

The ignorant urchins are running in the street, sweating, and their parents are yelling for them to come back for dinner; the newlyweds have affectionate eyebrows and eyes, they have never held hands in the street, but they look at each other from time to time; the old woman leans on a cane, She is today's guard, hired by the Ministry of Industry, to explain all kinds of things in Kyoto to outsiders, and to point out the route for them; Bookcases, coming and going more hurriedly.

At the corner, there seemed to be two young masters swimming hand in hand, one white and one green, just right, a pigeon flying around, occasionally resting on the shoulder of the man in white.

Regardless of the ups and downs outside, no one can disturb them.
