When Shi Min arrived at Yongshou Palace, the meal was just finished. Although Grandma Huang was in better health, she still couldn't get out of bed. As for the meal she had with the queen mother, she kept telling her during the dinner, for fear that she would not be able to get out of bed when crossing the river. take care.

What she said more was to let her stop focusing on political affairs and spend more time choosing a queen she liked. She immediately thought of Bu Qianxue, but she didn't say anything.

After the meal, she and her mother went to Grandma Huang's bedroom. Grandma Huang is now in good spirits and has the strength to speak. She has spoken a lot. Apart from telling her to take good care of herself, she also wants her to spend more time on choosing What's rare is that the empress didn't ask her to let go of political affairs like her mother did, but instead told her to pay more attention to political affairs.

Knowing that the good grandson is filial and will definitely come to say goodbye before leaving tomorrow, Zhao Huan was worried that she would get up early, so when he left, he specifically told her not to come and say goodbye.No matter if she can live for a year or half a year, she will live every day and work hard so as not to cause trouble to her good grandson and daughter-in-law.

Shi Min, who seldom uses mind-reading skills to his family, didn't know what Grandma Huang was thinking, but he also knew that Grandma Huang was sympathetic to him, so he immediately agreed, feeling quite emotional in his heart.

Wen Yu and Shi Min left Yongshou Palace one after the other. The two mothers talked a lot in Yongshou Palace, and Wen Yu also followed Zhao Huan, so that she would not have to go to her place to say goodbye tomorrow morning.Shi Min responded, and said a lot to let her take good care of herself and Grandma Huang. As for the unresolved matters, you can ask Mulan Yu or write to her.

From entering Yongshou Palace to leaving with his mother, Shi Min acted normally, and he didn't dare to think too much, for fear of revealing a flaw that would make his mother worry, his face sank as soon as he returned to Fengde Palace.

At dawn, a group of people hurried out of Fandu City, and not long after another carriage left the city, Qingying was left behind to follow Bu Qianxue, and got into the carriage and fell asleep soundly.

After much deliberation, Shi Min still decided to go ahead on horseback with Zuo Xuan, Yi Chun and the imperial guards as she did last time, while Bu Qianxue and Lu Guanchu followed in a carriage, just a day's difference.

After Shi Shuang's rebellion, and not crossing the river for so many days to deal with political affairs, and the spring plowing ceremony is approaching, there should be many talents waiting to be summoned, so she is really worried.

Only by dealing with these matters as soon as possible, can she have more time to spend with Bu Qianxue, so she had to give up her original idea of ​​riding in a carriage with Bu Qianxue.

Bu Qianxue, who went back to cross the river with Lu Guanchu and Qingying in a carriage again, was a little disappointed. Although she tried her best to solve the problems of the subordinates last night, thinking about it, she would think that she might be with Shi Min today. Going back in the carriage, I was a little looking forward to it, but also a little apprehensive.

Thinking of Shi Min's concern with state affairs all the time, she was disappointed for a while. Who made her like the king of a country, maybe at the beginning it was because of his appearance, but now she found that no matter whether he was not angry or prestige, She likes Shi Min who is approachable or angry.

In Shi Min's body, she saw all the officials' expectations for the monarch, courageous, thoughtful, clear rewards and punishments, miserable, miserable, she found that no matter what kind of Shi Min she liked.

Shi Min, who was riding on the road, didn't know what Bu Qianxue was thinking. If she knew, she might like it and be entangled in her heart, because she found that Bu Qianxue was the most thoughtful thing in her spare time recently, which made her very panic.

It was already early in the morning when Shi Min and his team arrived at Duhe Royal Garden Villa with their men dressed in stars and moon. They went out early in the morning and arrived at two or three in the morning.

Zuo Xuan once suggested to rest at a halfway station or inn for one night, and then go on the road early the next morning, but Shi Min did not agree, because she was very particular about the sleeping place and environment, whether it is in modern times or here, the room must be clean and tidy, The bed must be big and clean.

Her room in modern times is not big, and her parents only prepared a 1.2-meter bed for her at the beginning. Basically only one person can pass.

There was nothing I could do during the four years in the dormitory at the university. Fortunately, my roommate was clean and survived. Anyway, as long as she was on vacation, she would be eager to go home. Until she met her first love, she changed and became less fond of going home.

They work part-time jobs together and save money to travel together. Almost every time they book a room with a big bed, they bring all the toiletries by themselves, even the sheets and quilt covers. For this reason, they were ridiculed by their first love for their cleanliness. Not cleanliness, because she only pays attention to the bed and environment where she sleeps, but not so much to food, play and daily contact. At best, she can only be regarded as clean.

After coming here, the bed was not that big, and it was surrounded by a closed space, which made her very depressed. At first, she didn't know that she could only suppress herself, and she didn't sleep peacefully every day. Painful to myself, at that time Grandma Huang was in charge of the harem again, so she begged Grandma Huang to make a new 1.8-meter bed in a similar modern style.

At that time, it was not easy for her to get this bed. She lied on a rare occasion and said that she had a nightmare. She was afraid when she saw the top of the bed, and she dared not sleep in it anymore. She pretended to be pitiful in order to increase the chance of success. of.

Later, the bedroom where she slept was all this kind of bed, and the width increased from 1.8 meters to two meters. Even the bed she sleeps in now was before she came, and the palace sent someone to send the drawings and typed it.

So when she didn't bring any sheets, she would definitely not consider going to a post station or an inn. She would rather work a little bit harder and go back to cross the river to rest.

After Shi Min woke up, it was already past nine o'clock in the morning. While washing and changing clothes, he sent an order to listen to the government in the main hall after half a stick of incense.

The well-informed officials who had been informed were not surprised when they received the order. With His Majesty's diligent character, it is normal to listen to the government immediately. Those who did not get the news were very surprised, because they didn't even know when His Majesty would arrive. .

And in Fandu, only the people in the palace and Mulan Yu knew that His Majesty had left. It wasn't until a minister asked for an audience and the palace gave a clear message that the people in Fandu knew that His Majesty had gone to cross the river.

Sitting on the main seat in the main hall, Shi Min looked at the ministers below and squinted his eyes. He used to think it was an instant, but today it was particularly glaring. After the ministers finished their salutes, Shi Min signaled Yichun to start.

"Start playing if there is something to do, and leave the class if there is nothing to do." Yichun, who was doing this for the shift for the first time, was a little excited, but fortunately, his voice was relatively stable, otherwise it would be a disaster if he made a mistake.

Going to court in the imperial city is called early court. After the ministers have performed all the salutes, the chief executive next to the emperor will shout "Let's play if there is something to do, and leave the court if there is nothing to do". A little change, called "retirement without incident".

"The minister has a book to start with." Zhao Chengfan went out to salute. He only returned to cross the river two days ago. If he hadn't asked for leave, he still didn't want to come back. Wait outside Guide's gate, waiting for His Majesty to summon you."

After getting the news of His Majesty's return, Zhao Chengfan asked Qiu Xie to be ready at all times, and immediately asked his servants to take Qiu Xie to wait outside Guide's gate after receiving the order to listen to the government.

The person who was recommended casually at the beginning took some effort to find him. After returning to Duhe, he talked with him face to face.

Although counting relatives, he was still Shi Min's cousin, but he hadn't met a few times since he was a child, so the relationship was naturally not close, and he never dared to call himself the emperor's cousin, and he dared not forget the courtesy of a monarch and his ministers.

Shi Min is wearing a lavender uniform today, which makes her complexion paler than usual, and her overall aura is more aloof and majestic. Sitting there quietly, the ministers below dare not look directly at her, nor can they see her face. His eyes suddenly turned cold, and he asked without answering: "Are the two recommended by Wen Aiqing and Yan Aiqing here?".

She and her cousin Zhao Chengfan really haven't met a few times in private, and the relationship is not close. As the queen, she has a lot of contact. She doesn't like things or personality very much. Fortunately, she knows how to keep her duty, otherwise she wouldn't be able to make it today. cabinet minister.

Wen Yuan went out to salute and said: "Qizou the emperor, the two of you are already waiting outside Guide's gate, waiting for your majesty to summon you." After receiving your majesty's order, Yan Yinuo set off for Jiuyuan, and sent the recommended person Entrusted it to her, she was fairly well informed, and had already taken the two of them to Guide Gate.

In terms of blood relationship, she is closer to the Wen family. After all, it is her mother's natal family, and she also likes Wen Yuan, regardless of her work or personality. Otherwise it would be hard to say.

"That's very good, hurry up and announce the three of you to have an audience." Shi Min's voice was a little urgent, which gave the ministers below a feeling that they were eager for talents, and those who had connections immediately made plans.

There is a distance from Guide Gate to the main hall. Shi Min listened to the recent reports on the palace situation of various ministries and government offices, and learned that the spring plowing ceremony in two days' time has been prepared. How much have these officials swallowed for themselves.

Duan Yunjie, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, also reported that there were nearly 50 people who came to apply for the recruitment order. Before she returned to Fandu, there were still less than 20 people. This meeting has doubled. It seems that people from far away should come one after another. Continued, very good.

Shi Min made a decision on the spot and asked her to bring everyone to the main hall in the afternoon, and she summoned them together.

Minister Naoki Tobe also reported on the promotion of new agricultural tools. Because the tools are excellent and the price is not expensive, and with the strong recommendation of the clerk, the promotion has been completed in several nearby provinces, and it is expected that the provincial capitals farther away will be able to produce agricultural tools before next year’s spring plowing. Complete all promotions.

The Ministry of Industry also reported on the promotion of waterwheels and the progress of newly repaired water conservancy projects. The old waterwheels used to be small and ineffective, so they were only used in some places and were not promoted at all.When the waterwheel on the edge of Huangtian was just completed, there were many people watching across the river almost every day. It was spread widely, and now several nearby provinces know about it. It will take a few months for the news to come. It can be spread all over the country, just saving publicity.

These Shi Min only know a rough idea, and now after listening to their detailed reports, she has connected with what she knew before. She was very concerned about these things before, so she would ask them to report the latest progress every once in a while. Remember to ask anytime.

"Yun Dingfan, Wu Lili, and Qiu Xie are here," the palace servant outside yelled loudly, and the hall fell silent instantly.

After a while, three people came in under the leadership of the palace servants, one woman and two men, the woman was wearing a red right lapel, estimated to be about 40 years old according to the age here, with a melon-shaped face, willow eyebrows and phoenix eyes, The hair is neatly fixed with a wooden hairpin, which gives people a very flamboyant feeling. If she is not wearing an official uniform and is a woman, she must be Yun Dingfan.

The two men looked like they were in their 50s. One was dressed in blue from head to toe. The contemporary Confucian dialect Ziqiu Xie ended with the word Zi. It seemed that he was just that.The one was wearing a regular second-rank civil servant's attire, and he was the head of the Northern Province.

Qiu Xie was dressed in blue, as if worried that others would not know that he was a man. After seeing his face, Shi Min suddenly understood a little bit.Male and female, no wonder he was so eager to use color to prove his gender.In fact, the people here don't pay much attention to gender, they pay more attention to the order of seniority and physical contact. If the relationship is normal, you can't touch your sleeves.

Actions such as Bu Qianxue pulling her hand and sitting down yesterday are absolutely not allowed to happen in a normal relationship. It has nothing to do with gender, only closeness, except for the partner's parents, close relatives and elders. No matter how good the relationship is, it is limited to simple physical contact, such as pulling There is no such word as simple contact without skin contact such as lowering sleeves and patting shoulders. There is no such word here.

Yun Dingfan and Qiu Xie were very calm on the face, but they clenched their hands hidden in their sleeves. The most calm among the three should be Wu Lili who had seen Shi Min before. The three of them passed the ministers on both sides and walked to the middle of the front After standing still, he saluted respectfully: "Long live my emperor, long live, long live, long live."

"Mianli, the three of you are all virtuous talents in the world, and it is very hard work coming from a long distance. Please go to Dongle Palace to rest for a while. I will hold a banquet for you and others in Zhongzheng Palace to cleanse the dust." Things are not easy to talk about, she plans to entertain with food and drinks first.

Now only Dongle Palace is unoccupied, and Shi Min can no longer care about conventions. The rational use of resources is the last word.

"Your Majesty Xie" Wu Lili, who thought His Majesty would ask one or two questions, was a little disappointed, Yun Dingfan was overjoyed, only Qiu Xie lowered his eyebrows and couldn't see what he was thinking. After the three of them saluted, they followed the palace attendant who led the way. Dongle Palace. ?
