Blade of Wind

I went back to the bedroom and took a nap, so I just missed lunch.

When I woke up in the afternoon, Yichun prepared some snacks for me, and babbled something like "Even if the king is a fairy, not eating on time is not good for my health".

I responded casually and asked her to call someone to bring Yuexi to meet me.

Then I found a token by myself, and engraved the word "forbidden" crookedly on it.

When Yuexi came in, I was cutting my finger and dripping my blood on the word "Forbidden".

Blood seeped in along the grain of the wood, dyeing the newly engraved characters dark red.

"My lord!" Yuexi exclaimed, "What are you doing?" He turned his head and shouted to the person who brought him in, "Quickly send the imperial doctor."

"Don't make a fuss." I waved my hand, put my finger into my mouth and sucked the wound, motioning him to sit down.

Yuexi just looked at me with a frown. "My lord."

"It's all right." I handed him the token, "Around us, there are many old dramas with plots like 'The first emperor passed down the golden mace, and the first beats the emperor unconscious and the next beats the ministers'. It means that the monarch leaves a token to his trusted minister, so that he has the power to supervise the next generation of monarch after his death. I will give you one too. Maybe I can’t supervise my next successor, but I can supervise myself. "

Yuexi didn't dare to take it, she looked at me with some puzzlement, and asked, "What does the lord mean?"

"I can't find any golden mace at the moment, not to mention that it hurts to hit people. My current physique is different from that of ordinary people. If there is any reflex action, it will be bad. So I will use this instead." I threw the token in front of him, "If you think I have made a big mistake and you can't stop it, show me this. I specially dripped my own blood so that I can remember more clearly .”

Yuexi bent down to pick up the token, knelt down and bowed to me, "I obey."

"Yeah. But I don't guarantee that I will be obedient as soon as you show this." I smiled and stretched out a finger. "I only promise to see this token. No matter what I decide to do at the time, I will postpone it." One day. Please within this day, please convince me exactly where I am wrong. Instead of leading me into the palace to kill without saying a word."

Yuexi's face changed slightly, and she lowered her head even lower.

In the court hall in the morning, I wanted to say this, but Ao stopped me. At this time, there was no one else in the bedroom, so I simply told him clearly.

"Yes, I do mind. Even if you explain it to me, I still can't help it. So I think we might as well say these things openly and honestly up front. I will give you the right to stop me at any time, Don't say anything like 'violating the duty of a courtier'. If you think I'm wrong, just throw that token at me. However, if you dare to launch a coup like last time, my knife is not a vegetarian Yes. It’s the same with Ah Ao, if he makes a mistake, I will definitely have the entire Fang Kingdom buried with him.”

When I said this, I paused and laughed softly, "We've been together for so long, you should know if I'm bluffing when I say this."

I'm really alone here, but although I don't know if I can fight against the so-called "Emperor of Heaven", if they want to kill people and set fire to Fang Country, and turn the world upside down, they probably won't be able to do anything to me.

"Shang Long and Li Guang both told me that mutual suspicion between monarchs and ministers is a national taboo, and I understand that. However, I think that our own lives will not be threatened, which is the prerequisite for us to trust each other." I laughed again He said, "Today, let's make things clear first. Everyone knows what they have in mind. From now on... let's decide what to do?"

Yuexi looked like he wanted to laugh, but he lowered his head again, made a prostration, and said again: "I obey."

From my angle, I could only see the back of his head, so I couldn't help laughing, and said: "It is said that the Qing Kingdom has already abolished Fuli, I think we can do the same, just abolish it. You raise your head, Look at me and say."

Yuexi slowly raised his eyes, looked at me with dark eyes, and said word by word: "Please rest assured, Lord."

The situation on the side of the Twelve Kingdoms is special. These high officials in the DPRK are all immortals. If there is no accident, they will not die if I die, so anyway, I can’t ask them to swear allegiance to me. This sentence is enough up.

"Very good." I nodded, let him sit down, and said, "Then we can talk about business now."

Yuexi hesitated for a moment before sitting down cautiously.

I asked, "You know Liu Shenghe, right? He's from Qingzhou. He was in charge of the construction site when I went this time."

Yuexi nodded and said, "I know."

"Then what do you think of this person?"

Yue Xi simply replied: "It is a usable material."

I looked up at him, and was about to speak when Yichun brought Xiuhuang over.

Xiuhuang bowed to Yuexi and me, and asked, "Is your lord injured?"

"It's okay, Yuexi is too nervous." I showed him my fingers.

The incision was shallow and the bleeding had stopped.

Xiuhuang looked at it, then glanced at the token in Yuexi's hand, didn't say much, and asked someone to fetch water, took my hand to wash and apply the medicine.

"Don't be so troublesome, it's just a small wound, it will be fine in two days... hiss." Before I finished speaking, he had already washed off the blood scab on my finger, his movements were not gentle, and the pain made me twitch With one breath, the following words were swallowed.

Yuexi watched Xiuhuang help me apply the medicine, and there seemed to be a faint smile on the corner of his mouth.

……what's so funny.

I snorted, and simply continued to discuss the previous question with him: "Why don't you hand over the river management to Liu Shenghe?"

Here in the Twelve Kingdoms, there is obviously no official position such as the governor of the river.Originally, these matters of river regulation were the responsibility of the local officials.I don't know much about his specific arrangements.First, I didn't know much about this place at the time, and I couldn't even remember the official position clearly, and I only half-understood it at the court meeting.Then again, apparently the officer didn't take me seriously, and didn't report to me carefully at all.The only thing I know is that apparently he himself did not personally supervise the river control project, nor did he appoint an "imperial envoy" to the prime minister's river workers, so there is such a thing as Jinrui and the others domineering .

So when I proposed to hand this over to Liu Shenghe, I didn't really know it.I definitely want to transfer Liu Shenghe, but if they want to say "there is no such precedent" and unanimously oppose it, it is estimated that Liu Shenghe will have a hard time in the future, let alone do things well.

Fortunately, Yuexi did not express any objection, and quickly said: "The lord can first transfer Liu Shenghe to serve as Suiren, and then give him an amnesty with full responsibility."

I was a little surprised that he was so forthright, and couldn't help but said: "If I randomly pick up someone on the road and come back and say that he wants to be promoted, will you agree?"

Only then did Yuexi really laugh, and said: "Then it depends on who the Lord picks up."

I was stunned for a moment, and frowned, "Actually, you have noticed Liu Shenghe a long time ago, right?"

Yue Xi didn't deny it, "From the imperial court to the state capital, officials at all levels, the ministers have contacted or heard about it more or less. Liu Shenghe is pragmatic and sincere, and he does have real talents and learning. Naturally, the ministers have noticed."

"Then why wasn't he called before?" I asked.

This time he was silent.

Then I remembered what Xiuhuang told me before that Yuexi's false dynasty was just seeking stability and preserving national strength so that it could be handed over to the new king smoothly.He couldn't help but glance sideways at Xiu Huang.

He was wrapping gauze around my hand, round and round, as if it was going to be wrapped into a brown bag.

"That's enough! Stop it!" I couldn't help pulling my hand back, shouting, "Xiu Huang, are you a pervert? So what do you want to do with a little injury to be content?"

Xiu Huang raised her beautiful eyes to look at me, and even smiled slightly, "Just to remind the Lord, don't cut your own fingers for fun."

I gritted my teeth, "That eye of yours saw me playing? Of course it's necessary."

Xiu Huang still smiled lightly and said, "Then please minimize this necessity."

"How do I know if it will be necessary in the future?"

"That's why I need to remind you."

... really lost to him.

I sighed, "Okay, okay, let's not take this as an example, are you satisfied?"

Xiu Huang just nodded, bowed to me, packed his things and left.

It was precisely because of this little episode that the embarrassment of the silence just now was broken.

"...Really." I sighed, while removing the excess gauze on my fingers, I said to Yuexi: "You continue."

Yuexi was quiet for a while before slowly saying: "Liu Shenghe is actually a very innovative person, and he is also a bit stubborn in personality. For his own ideals, he will definitely make enemies everywhere in the court. Therefore, the humble minister does not Dare to invite him to Beijing rashly, just to say hello to the Marquis of Qingzhou."

It is true that Liu Shenghe's proposals do contain a lot of innovative content, but in the Twelve Kingdoms, where everything is subject to "God's will", probably not everyone can accept it.He's fine in a small place, as long as the Marquis of Qingzhou doesn't accept it, it's fine to suppress it. If he has power in his own hands and insists on continuing to implement it, I'm afraid he will really offend ten million people.

As for that person's personality... I have seen it before on the construction site. He would say angry words to migrant workers, quarrel with his boss and even slam the door. At that time, I thought it was a miracle that he was still in the officialdom.It turned out that it was Yuexi who greeted the Marquis of Qingzhou.

"I see," I said. "Then why did you agree now?"

"Because the situation is different now." Yuexi said, "The people on the Jade Throne are the ones who decide the direction of Fangguo."

very good.It means that this is my decision anyway, is it also my responsibility if something goes wrong?

Mine is mine.

I laughed and took out those proposals from Liu Shenghe. "One more thing. I'm going to start a new department."

"What new department?"

"Help me find a group of craftsmen who are ingenious and ingenious. First... let's try to make the new farm tools that Liu Shenghe wants to improve." I picked out the farm tool improvement plans with blueprints and handed them to Yuexi, " After making it, find a piece of land near Pusu to try it out. If it really works, then promote it.”

Yuexi nodded in response.

"If this can be done successfully, we will continue to make other gadgets in the future." I thought for a while and said, "Let's call this department the 'Technology Development Bureau'."

Although the name is nothing new, and it always reminds me of that strange face of Nirvana Yuri, it is more intuitive and clear.

In fact, since I saw Ah Ao recording those reforms, I was thinking, although the policies over there may not be suitable for this side, but the things over there may not be the same, right?

Like a pencil or something?God knows how much I hate writing with a brush.

Time-traveling heroines seem to make a glass or something easy. It shouldn't be difficult for me to use the technological power of a country to make some daily necessities to improve my life, right?

The point is, if it can be done, then this is a business opportunity and money!

Yuexi didn't ask me what the other gadgets were. After asking me if I had nothing else to do, he said, "Then Wei Chen will go and arrange the affairs of Liu Shenghe and the new department now."

"Ah."

I nodded and he got up to say goodbye.

I suddenly remembered something and hurriedly called him, "Wait a minute."

Yuexi turned around, "What else does the lord have to say?"

"Well, did you know Xiu Huang before?" I asked, "Before I let him enter the palace?"

Yuexi nodded, "I know."

I almost gasped, and immediately sneered, "...that's pretty good."

Yuexi said: "My lord, please don't misunderstand me, I have absolutely no intention of placing people around my lord. The meeting between my lord and Xiu Huang in Zhenzhou was indeed an accidental encounter. The reason why I know him is because Because he was known as a child prodigy since he was a child, he graduated from university at the age of 17, but he had no intention of becoming an official, and instead gave up his official position to study medicine. So I once went to talk to him specifically."

"Oh?" I dragged my voice and raised my eyebrows.

"There is no need for this minister to lie." Yue Xi said, "Even if the lord does not give this token to me today, or say these things to me, this minister also understands that my lord is by no means the kind Man controls man at the mercy of man."

I didn't speak.

Yuexi said again: "The reason why I explained to the Lord is not to prove my innocence, but... If the Lord misunderstands like this, it will be too unfair to Xiu Huang."

I was slightly taken aback, Yuexi then bowed to me again and backed out.

I leaned back in the chair and let out a long sigh.

...Am I really overthinking?

The author has something to say: hehehe~
