Chapter 124: Such a mission was actually triggered
If these guys were only exposed for cuckoldry and fetish gossip, it would be fine. But if they were exposed for some other little tricks, such as collusion for profit and other related gossips, it would definitely affect their future!
Prime Minister Li, even if you have succeeded in getting this position, you will not be able to sit on it steadily.
Or are you trying to show the emperor that you are a loyal subject?
Many of the quick-witted courtiers stole glances at the emperor. As expected, they saw that the emperor, who had looked unhappy before, now nodded slightly.
At this moment, Prime Minister Wang, who disliked Prime Minister Li the most, sighed in his heart: This is a risky move, but for Prime Minister Li, who was exposed to be superstitious about witches and dragons, this is also a good way to win back the emperor's heart.
At this time, the Minister of Rites, who had a large family of grown-up children and grandchildren, was the first to become restless.
He bowed and said, "Your Majesty. There are tens of thousands of dignitaries and officials in the capital, as well as their children and grandchildren. If the little princess goes there to see them, how will the venue be arranged and when will she be able to see everything?" He wanted to say a few more words of objection, but out of the corner of his eye he noticed the emperor's impatient look.
The Minister of Rites was nervous and changed the subject: "Your Majesty, I think it is okay to expand the scope, but it is better to screen the scope in advance."
Prime Minister Li suddenly spoke up: "Why do you screen in advance? Do you know the cause of the national destiny mission? Can you be sure that the people you screen out will not trigger the national destiny mission?"
The Minister of Rites was so angry that he had a heart attack: You kid are determined to be a lone wolf, right?
At this time, the Minister of Justice suddenly interrupted and said, "Your Majesty, I agree with Prime Minister Li's suggestion, but the Minister of Rites is also right. It is not convenient to accommodate too many people, and the little princess is easy to confuse or even miss, which is not good. So I think it is better to compromise."
The emperor then looked at the Minister of Justice and asked, "How do you compromise?"
The Minister of Justice said, "I think we can use the excuse of choosing a residence for the little imperial master to stay in as an excuse to take the little imperial master to visit the residences of various court officials. This will not only reduce the court officials' social... ahem, embarrassment, but also make sure the little imperial master will not miss any one of them if he goes to each residence one by one."
The court officials were alarmed. This was a good idea. Although they would inevitably be exposed, it was better than being socially disgraced in front of everyone.
The court officials all agreed.
The emperor suddenly smiled and looked at the Minister of Justice: "The prince must learn how to speak well from you."
The Minister of Justice was so nervous that he dared not speak.
The emperor turned his head and looked at Prime Minister Li, his eyes softened, and said, "My dear Li, this matter is up to you."
Prime Minister Li was delighted and said loudly, "I accept your order."
…
After a few days, Yuan Ruan still did not find the national destiny mission in the court.
But her mentality gradually became Buddhist.
Out of boredom, she held her head with her hands and watched the third prince and his companions playing Cuju on the field.
Seeing them perform superb moves one by one, Yuan Ruan couldn't help but nod and praise: [Daxia's Cuju is good, it's exciting to watch. ]
System: [Wow, isn’t this similar to the Chinese national football team that Ah Ruan is in?]
Yuan Ruan: [No, it's too unlucky, it's more like Cun Chao. I suddenly feel that our sweep may have entered the wrong area, we can't just sweep the court civil and military, as the saying goes, the masters are among the people, who knows, there may be powerful people outside. ]
System: [Aruan is right. ]
Just at this moment, the voice of a palace maid greeting His Majesty suddenly came from outside the door.
Yuanruan turned her head.
The emperor strode in, picked up Yuanruan and said, "Aruan, do you miss me today?"
Yuan Ruan rubbed the emperor's face with the crumbs of pastry: [Don't we see each other every day? ]
But she still waved her hands lively: "I want to, I want to!"
The Crown Prince, Prime Minister Li and others in the back lowered their heads and tried to suppress their laughter.
The emperor gently pinched Yuan Ruan's nose and said, "From today on, I will take you to visit the Daxia official residence and choose the family you will stay in. If you like the family, you can give this red rope to them. You can choose whatever you want."
Yuan Ruan: [Speak of the devil. I just wanted to go out and pick some melons.]
Yuan Ruan nodded repeatedly: "Okay, go, go!"
The emperor smiled, held Yuan Ruan in his arms and rode out of the Great Xia Palace.
They went to several stores in a row. Maybe because they were a little tired of eating melons recently, the system scanned some bloody melons and wanted to share them, but Yuanruan lazily said that they would talk about it next time.
This also made several court officials feel anxious, wanting to land but also afraid to land.
Half an hour later, the emperor and his entourage arrived at the final candidate of the day, the chancellor of the capital city.
Originally, the fourth-rank chancellor of the capital city was not qualified to receive the princess for a short stay, but because his grandfather had married a princess, his brother also held a title, and the chancellor's own daughter was a virtuous concubine in the palace, he was barely considered a candidate.
Yuanruan was so sleepy that his eyelids were drooping.
The emperor felt distressed upon seeing this, and turned away, frightening the entire family of the prefect of the capital city, who had just gone out to greet him, and dropped to their knees on the ground.
The sound was so loud that Yuan Ruan was startled.
Just at this moment, the system suddenly exclaimed in ecstasy.
System: [Fuck, there is actually one! I never thought that this would actually trigger a national destiny mission...]
The emperor's eyes widened: !!!
The Crown Prince, Prime Minister Li, Prime Minister Wang, and the six ministers who followed him all showed surprised expressions.
Several officials were almost in tears: Finally, the national destiny mission has finally been triggered! Thank you for being here!
Yuan Ruan was surprised: [What kind of national destiny mission is it? ]
System: [National Mission: Let Jiaren play polo happily. (Uncompleted) Points +3]
Yuanruan: [? ]
Everyone:?
Who is this Jia Ren? !
You can get three points just by playing polo happily?
Yuan Ruan: [Tong'er, you read it right? Let Jiaren play polo to get three points? ]
System: [It’s playing polo happily. ]
Yuanruan: [Hurry up and check his melons to see what the specific reason is? ]
System: [I don’t know it, but it must be somewhere near here that can trigger the national destiny mission. I just don’t know where exactly it is? ]
Yuan Ruan immediately pulled the emperor and said, "Jia, Ren, play, Jia, Ren, play..."
The emperor understood what he meant and pretended to be puzzled and asked: "How did A'ruan know about Jia Ren?..."
The emperor saw Yuan Ruan's tense expression and said, "Forget it. It's common for waiters to imitate others." His eyes fell on the respectful and awe-inspiring chancellor of the capital city, and he asked, "Who is Jia Ren in your family? Where is he?"
The chancellor of the capital city was stunned for a moment, then bowed and said, "Your Majesty, Jia Ren is my nephew... ahem, nephew. Your Majesty... Your Majesty, Your Majesty..."
He turned to look at his wife, who shook her head. He looked at his brother again, who pointed to an annex near the door.
The emperor frowned.
Prime Minister Li cursed secretly, walked over and whispered: "Master Fu Cheng, have you forgotten your purpose? Any family that wants to invite the little imperial teacher to stay for a few days, everyone must go out to greet him."
The chancellor of the capital city government scolded his brother, the judge of the Dali Court, and explained in a low voice: "I arranged it, but my brother was a bit reckless and worried that my eldest nephew was stupid and would offend people, so he actually put him at the door..."
At this point, the prefect of the capital city scolded his brother, the judge of Dali, in his heart. He had warned him so many times, but he still failed to keep his promise. No wonder he was still a seventh-rank official.
He bowed again to apologize and quickly bowed back.
Soon, the chancellor of the capital city came back with an honest-looking man in low-rank official uniform, carrying a hunchbacked, silent young man.
The chancellor of the capital city government said quickly, "This young man is Jia Ren."
The younger brother of the prefect of the capital city was extremely terrified and knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, Your Highness, Princess... This, this is my humble son, Jia Ren. If he offends the princess, I will beat my son immediately to make amends to the princess."
Yuanruan's face wrinkled slightly, and she looked at today's melon man.
