Shangguan Mochen learned that Su Xingyi was leaving in seven days, so he didn't want to force him to stay.
In the court meetings of the next few days, all the memorials from all over the country were thrown to the tool man Shangguan Yu.
Shangguan Mochen stayed in the Queen's bedroom every day, enjoying a happy life surrounded by children and grandchildren with Lan.
With Su Xingyi by her side every day, Lan's health got better and better.
Shangguan Mochen put aside his heavy government affairs and played chess with Su Xingyi, practiced martial arts, tasted tea, practiced calligraphy and other daily activities. His life was easy and comfortable, and he also began to think about abdicating and becoming the emperor.
However, he can only abdicate with peace of mind after Xingyi is promoted to the position.
For three consecutive days, Shangguan Mochen took Su Xingyi to attend court meetings.
Su Xingyi discovered in the past three days that being the king of a country is not an easy thing. There are too many things to worry about, and being a good emperor cannot be achieved simply by working for the welfare of the people.
Listening to the ministers' arguments, Su Xingyi felt a headache.
Through the screen, I took a peek at Shangguan Yu who was sitting high on the dragon throne. He was frowning and pressing his temples. It was obvious that his head was aching from the noise of the ministers!
"Everyone, be quiet. Implement the Left Prime Minister's plan. If there is nothing else, leave the court!"
Shangguan Yu went straight to the Qinzheng Palace after the court session, and Shangguan Mochen followed closely behind him, pulling Su Xingyi along.
Shangguan Yu had no idea that he was being spied on by his father and nephew!
Su Xingyi saw that the two-meter-wide imperial desk was piled with memorials, and Shangguan Yu started reviewing them almost as soon as he came in.
During this period, he also summoned several ministers to deal with important matters related to the six ministries. He was busy all day and would be busy until midnight...
It is obvious that the emperor does the hardest and most tiring work!
But power is supreme, and the power of life and death is in their hands.
During these three days, he clearly witnessed that Shangguan Yu put corrupt officials in jail, confiscated their properties and exiled them with just one order!
It can be said that a single word can determine life or death!
It is not difficult to understand why so many people fought for the throne.
"Xingyi, do you think being an emperor is hard and tiring?"
Su Xingyi shook his head. "Now that I'm in this position, I can't complain! After all, if you enjoy supreme power, you must also bear the corresponding responsibilities!"
Shangguan Mochen was very pleased that his eldest grandson had such vision.
"Then let you sit in this position, can you do it well?"
Su Xingyi's heart trembled. He had never thought about this! He didn't want to compete with others.
He just wanted to live a peaceful life with Xiao Yu.
"Grandfather, what have I done to deserve this position?"
"If you can say that, you can sit down! There are some things you don't need to do yourself. Leave them to the right people to help you. As you can see, every official has their own responsibilities. Many things are not handled well by subordinates, so they will be brought to the court meeting and the ministers will come up with corresponding solutions. If you think it is reliable, you can make the final decision..."
"Grandfather, I am now a king of a different surname, personally appointed by the Emperor of Beiyi. I will follow the princess to take care of Huayang County. That position is too far away from me. I will not dream of things that do not belong to me."
When Shangguan Mochen heard this, he knew that he still didn't know his true identity.
If he knew, he might not think so.
"What if that position originally belonged to you?"
Su Xingyi was silent for a long time. "Maybe it belongs to me, but I may not be suitable to sit in that position. However, I will fight for it! After all, what belongs to me, only I can give it up, and I won't allow others to take it away!"
"That's right! You can't let others take what belongs to you!"
Time flies, and the day to meet Mr. Dongfang has arrived.
Shangguan Yunxiao used the excuse of buying some small items for his nephew and took Xiaojiu Su Xingyi out of the palace early in the morning.
"Your Majesty, won't you come with us?"
Shangguan Mochen said, "Yun'er, I'm worried that if I go with them, I won't be able to bear to leave tomorrow."
Lan sighed, "Time flies, but the child is the most important thing. My great-grandson is Fu'an's own grandson, and nothing can go wrong. I will have someone make a jade ruyi, a gold bracelet, a small gold lock, and other small items for Xingyi to take back tomorrow."
"Yun'er, you may not know this yet. Xingyi packed up all of Fu'an's childhood toys, saying they were for our great-grandson. He even arranged for someone to draw a picture of Fu'an's bedroom."
Lan's eyes lit up instantly. "Could this child have returned to Beiyi to replicate Fu'an's bedroom?"
"It should be correct. It's a pity that I didn't draw more portraits of Fu'an..."
"Cousin, Mr. Dongfang is on the top floor."
"Aren't you going up with me?"
"Xiaojiu and I will go buy gifts for my sister-in-law and nephew first."
"You've already prepared more than enough, so don't spend any more money."
"Nephew, how can you do that? He's my grandson, so we need to make more preparations. Go up quickly, and we'll have lunch together at noon."
"Master, the young master is coming up."
The attendant Bai Yi handed over two masks as he spoke.
Dongfang Seal glanced at the whole mask and the other half of the mask on the tray, then picked up the whole mask and put it on.
The footsteps downstairs were getting closer and closer. Dongfang Yinzhang became more and more nervous and reached out to touch the mask on his face.
Will his disciples blame him for being missing for so many years?
Su Xingyi arrived at the door of Mo Yunxuan, adjusted his breath, and knocked gently on the door.
"Mr. Dongfang, my name is Su Xingyi. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is here to meet you, but it's actually Su who wants to see you."
Bai Yi opened the door and looked at the handsome Su Xingyi, with a slight smile on his face.
The young master was truly handsome and extraordinary. "Mr. Su, Mr. Dongfang is inside, please come in."
When Su Xingyi walked into Mo Yunxuan, he saw a man in black clothes sitting in the main seat with his back to him.
This back figure looks so familiar!
"Young man Su Xing has given Mr. Dongfang his opinion!"
Dongfang Yinzhang said in a voice that was thick with emotion, "Mr. Su, please don't be polite. Bai Yi will serve you some good tea."
Su Xing was not annoyed that he still faced him with the back of his head, and sat down opposite him.
He just didn't believe that Mr. Dongfang would always have his back to him!
Bai Yi was making tea while thinking, is the master afraid to face the young master?
But you can't always turn your back on the young master, right?
This person is the old emperor’s grandson!
"Mr. Su, please have some tea!"
Su Xingyi looked at the familiar mask lanyard behind Dongfang Yinyin's ear and pursed his lips.
It’s indeed the master!
He smiled, picked up the teacup and savored it carefully.
"Mr. Dongfang, I heard you're proficient in metaphysics and divination. Could you please help me find my master's whereabouts? He's been missing for eight years and I don't know if he's alive or dead. I'm really worried about him, but with no news for so many years, I have a feeling he's died out there..."
Bai Yi's heart skipped a beat, and he was really worried that the young master would say something outrageous.
"...I can't let Master die out there with no one to collect his body. Please, sir, help me take a look..."
"Cough cough cough... Your master is not dead! He is far away in the sky and yet he is right in front of you." Dongfang Yinzhang was still speaking in a hoarse voice.
When Dongfang Yinzhang slowly turned around, Su Xingyi pretended to be surprised, "Mr. Dongfang, you...you are actually my master!"
