Blade of Wind

As a result, when the court meeting was held the next day, I was still yawning on the jade throne in a listless state.

It's all the fault of Xiu Huang.

Fortunately, he said "I miss you very much" and went back, causing me to toss and turn there half the night thinking about it, not knowing how to define our relationship.

He obviously did it on purpose.

He made it clear that he didn't want anything, but from time to time he made some small moves when I was unprepared, reminding me of his existence.

He clearly has a gentle and harmless face, but his methods are completely masterful in love.

I sighed and tried to concentrate on the court meeting.

Fortunately, there is nothing new today. Most of the time, the officials of various ministries are reporting on the affairs I have accumulated during the month since I left. superior.

This is also quite strange.

After all, Xiu Huang is not an official official, not even a concubine, but an imperial doctor... I asked him to pay attention to the affairs of the court, originally I just wanted to know the trends of some major events, but he can really understand everything in detail Tell me clearly.

How did he know about it?

At this time, Yuexi mentioned the report of the Marquis of Qingzhou, so I sat up straight and listened with vigor.

People from the Yuexi faction rode flying beasts to go there. After he received the report, he flew back and forth, and returned to the Falcon Palace a day earlier than us.

According to their verification, the servants and lower-level officials released from the palace are actually very stable, but most of the officials with doctorate or higher positions have emotions. The officials are completely unable to command, and there is nothing they can do about it.

I admit that I didn't think carefully about this matter at the beginning, but I am still very angry when I hear such a report.And looking at the expressions of these officials in the hall, it seems that many people think that there is nothing wrong with their attitude.Some people even thought that they should not have been transferred out of the palace in that way, and suggested that they should be appeased and called back.

I couldn't help but sneered, and said: "I remember that in ancient China there was a saying that 'you can't be courteous to ordinary people, and you can't punish a doctor'. Is it true here too? Once you become an official, you can't move?"

I seldom speak out at court meetings, and today I was just lying there lazily and listening.When he opened his mouth at this moment, all the officials in the hall, big and small, seemed to be taken aback, and they all lowered their heads and remained silent.

"What's wrong with asking them to control the river? That would humiliate them? Both Li Guang and I have pulled rocks on the construction site, why can't they do it? The officials of Fangguo are better than me, the king, and the 600-year-old prince Master is more precious?"

When I said He Liguang was pulling rocks on the construction site, some officials seemed to be slightly moved, but they didn't say anything.

I snorted and continued: "I admit that I didn't read the files carefully, and it was my oversight that I didn't carefully arrange professional counterparts for them. But so what? Weihe is not your Weihe? Fangguo is not yours Fangguo? Farmers put down their fields to control the river. There are teenagers on the construction site. The officials have hands and feet. What happened to carry a stone to carry the bag of soil? Will they die? Even if they have no strength, they can’t do it. Do rough work, can you go to the kitchen to help? Then there is the matter of accounting and auditing, so I have to hang around there and wait to die?"

Yuexi bowed down and apologized.

"Yes. You are indeed wrong. You are dissatisfied with the orders of the Lord, but you don't directly respond to the above. Instead, you either make your own decisions or openly disobey the order and act like a child... This is an official of Fangguo! As you The chief of a hundred officials is naturally duty-bound!" I simply stood up, "I'm just a foreigner, I'm only 19 years old, I know many of you don't take me seriously at all, think I don't understand anything, Nothing."

Yuexi didn't get up, even the others got down together, saying something like "I don't dare".

When I watched TV before, I always felt that the ministers' words were false, as if someone was directing them.Only when I saw it with my own eyes did I realize that there is such a thing as unanimity.Perhaps in the same position and situation... would they really say the same sentence subconsciously?

I sneered again, "Why are you so afraid? This is the truth. I don't understand anything at all, but that's why you people are here, isn't it? Even if you are a king, you can do it alone. Things are also very limited, that’s why the court and officials are needed, right? I only have one pair of eyes, and you have to help me see what I can’t see. I only have one pair of hands, and what I can’t do, you have to help me do it. If I go the wrong way, you should drag me back; if I do something wrong, you should scold me severely. This is the duty of being a minister! If you don’t even understand this, I want you to What's the use here?"

The steps were silent, and the already majestic and solemn hall seemed even more solemn in the silence.

For a moment, even I felt overwhelmed, and frowned, "I didn't mean to do anything to you when I said this today, so don't say you dare not, and don't rush to apologize, I just hope you can remember it firmly." This. When it's time to say it, say it. Don't wait until the situation is irreversible..."

I wanted to say, "Don't wait until the situation is irretrievable, and then bring someone into my bedroom to chop off my head", but at this point, Ah Ao, who had been standing next to the Jade Throne, suddenly took a step forward, coughing lightly With a sound.

I glanced back at him, and A'ao glanced at Yuexi.

That's right, if I said that directly here, Yuexi might not be in a good mood.

I sighed secretly, sat back on the jade seat slowly, waved my hand, and said, "Let's get back to the topic, how should we deal with those precious doctors?"

It took a while for the officials to sit up straight and exchanged glances with each other. It took a while before someone tremblingly said that the leader should be executed as an example to others.

It was the courtier who was in charge of the law who spoke.Although considering the consequences caused by Jinrui and the others, this kind of proposal is not too much, but he proposed it at this time, obviously just to curry favor with me.

I couldn't help but frowned again, well, I just said such a long paragraph for nothing.It's better to replace these guys sooner or later.

Yuexi glanced at the court official and put forward his own opinion.Naturally, those people have to be punished, but the current Fangguo is waiting to be rejuvenated, after all, when it is time to employ people, they might as well cut their posts and keep them in order to see the effect later.After all, they are not useless, as long as they are in the right position, they can still make a difference.

I nodded, and Yuexi took out a stack of personnel files, and proposed new job arrangements for those people based on their expertise and work experience.

A Ao took the opportunity to point out that other small officials should not keep them working as coolies on the construction site.

I turned my head and glared at him, "Don't use the so-called Qilin's sympathy here."

Ah Ao quickly said: "No, I was thinking... didn't we see that many villages were destroyed before, even if we start rebuilding now, there are still many places without schools, and children can't even write their own names. Let them be teachers if you can."

I was taken aback, why didn't I think of this?The work of a teacher is much easier than that of a coolie, and they will not have any complaints if they think about it.In any case, in the official position system here, to be an official is at least one with little education, teaching elementary school will not be a problem at all.Moreover, I want to replace this group of officials, and it is true that basic education should be grasped first, and the reconstruction of schools is of course essential.

Yuexi also agreed with Ah Ao's proposal, and several other ministers echoed it, so the matter was settled like this.

After the court meeting was over, it was almost noon.

After talking about the business, as soon as I relax, I feel drowsy again, and before I even leave the hall, I am already yawning profusely.

Ah Ao followed, and said with a smile, "Why are you so sleepy just after playing prestige? Didn't sleep well last night?"

At the court meeting, his proposal was successfully passed. He seemed to be in a good mood, and he took my hand and walked towards the Changle Hall together.

"Yeah." I answered and yawned again, "It's all Xiuhuang's fault."

Ah Ao's hand holding me tightened suddenly, her steps slowed down, and her face sank.

I was stunned for a moment before realizing that he had misunderstood what he just said, and I couldn't help but frowned a little helplessly, "Don't be jealous. That's not the case."

Ao pursed his lips, but did not speak.

"Before I went out, I asked Xiu Huang to help me keep an eye on the movement in the court. After I came back, he just came to explain to me. If I didn't talk about it last night, I wouldn't be able to catch up with the court meeting this morning." I explained.After hesitating for a while, he concealed that Xiuhuang came to me when I was taking a shower and the sentence "I miss you very much".

"Even if it wasn't last night...but...you will always..." Ao paused in the middle of speaking, turned his face away, and said in a muffled voice, "I'm sorry."

He spoke intermittently, but the meaning was clear.

But... I don't know how to respond.

I've kissed him before, and I don't object to him holding my hand like this now, but... If you want to talk about our relationship... I can't say it.

In my heart, Ah Ao is always the closest person, but this kind of feeling is different from the feeling when I really fell in love with a man wholeheartedly.

……totally different.

So even if I saw Ah Ao showing such an expression, I felt a little pain in my heart, but I couldn't make a promise to him like "I don't want anyone else, only you".

That's not because I want Xiuhuang or other men, but... my true love has already been lost in the sea of ​​stars 1000 years later.Half of the heart was already missing, so how could it be possible to give him the whole thing?

I don't want to lie to Ao.

Promises that cannot be kept do us no good.

I didn't reply for a long while, then Ah Ao said softly again: "I...will try not to think about it..."

...If you say that, it's clear that you're thinking wildly, right?

Before, I seemed to have said something like "Don't make our relationship so embarrassing if you don't have the awareness to accept my flirtatious self".But when he said it like this, it seemed that I really wanted to hug each other and ride a few boats on purpose, so I was a little depressed, and stretched out my hand to pull his face: "What are you thinking about? What's so messy?" Thinking? Nervous like a wronged little daughter-in-law..."

It was only after I said it that I realized that this metaphor is a bit easy to make people think about it. I coughed quickly and was about to change my words, but Ah Ao laughed out loud.

"What are you laughing at, what's so funny!" I simply pulled his face again, and snorted, "Anyway, don't think wildly, don't eat vinegar, don't act like a little wife for me!"

Ao smiled and nodded, "Okay."

So I hugged him as a reward, and finally leaned on his shoulder, and said softly: "But I really don't like what you did just now."

Ah Ao didn't reply, she folded her arms and hugged me tightly.

I continued: "I'm Ouyang Jie, whether it's in Penglai, Heinesen or here, I'm me. Similarly, I don't want you to change anything for me. You are you. It doesn't matter if you're awkward or bad." Well, it’s okay to quarrel with me...that’s my Ao. So...don’t have that expression, don’t say that kind of thing...it’s ugly."

"Nonsense." Ao replied after a while, "It's really the villain who complained first, how can I be as bad as you said?"

The author has something to say: Xiao Jie's feelings for Ah Ao at this stage...is really complicated...

I've been thinking about it for a long time... and I can't find the right way to express it...

Well, let's just leave it at that
