Xing Bang already felt that his chances of success were slim, so he could only fool around for a while.
But it doesn't matter. This was not what she expected. The crazy pasting just now was already a pleasant surprise.
Han Bingying frowned slightly, she was basically certain in her heart that it was almost certain. If she could say it just now, but couldn't say it now, that was definitely something even more excessive.
No, you can't do that!
Han Bingying immediately became completely defensive. This was really not allowed.
It is not the case that if you completely invest yourself in it, it is all over. At least it is impossible now. Maybe one day in the future, or maybe it will never happen in this lifetime.
The reason why I indulge myself so much today is to make up for some regrets in my heart.
"If you don't tell me, then forget it. Forget it."
Han Bingying said firmly.
"It's up to you. I won't force you."
Xing Bang said calmly.
Just kidding, I have seen the world.
"Um."
Han Bingying's tone softened instantly.
"Although you are very mean, I just like you. Also, thank you for accompanying me for half a day. I am already very satisfied."
"Okay, I won't keep you any longer. I'm going to go see Fourth Sister. Since I promised you, I won't leave tonight. We'll set off together tomorrow."
After saying that, Han Bingying turned around and left without waiting for Xing Bang to answer.
"Your Highness, Lord Ma requests to see you."
Not long after Han Bingying left, the eunuch at the front gate came in to report.
"Let him come."
Xing Bang said something, and the eunuch responded and left.
Soon, Ma Wu, who had just resigned from his post in Yuzhou and returned to Beijing, arrived at the hall.
"Your humble servant Ma Wu greets His Majesty!"
Ma Wuheng bowed deeply and respectfully.
"No need to be polite, come and sit down."
Xing Bang pointed to the spot next to him.
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Ma Wu sat down next to Xing Bang.
"Thank you for your hard work. I know everything about Yuzhou. The reason why Yuzhou was able to settle down so quickly is all thanks to you."
Xing Bang said with great relief that the disaster in Yuzhou had passed and the refugees who had gathered to rebel had disbanded.
Xing Bang also allocated a large amount of silver, and the court helped the people rebuild their homes, and also allocated a large amount of seeds and farm tools.
That’s why Yuzhou was able to return to peace so quickly.
"Your Majesty, this is what I should do."
Ma Wu replied.
"Well, I'm asking you to come back this time, so don't go back to Yuzhou. The court is in need of people right now. From today on, you will be promoted to the position of Left Prime Minister, commanding all officials and managing the affairs of the court."
"Your Highness, this is probably inappropriate. I am not very knowledgeable and I don't have enough experience. I am afraid that I will not be able to take on such an important position, and I will also be criticized by the court."
Ma Wu looked very surprised.
The Left Prime Minister is second only to the emperor and above everyone else.
Just like that, he reached the pinnacle of power.
"What qualifications do you have? If I say you can do it, then you can do it, even if you can't."
Xing Bang looked overbearing.
"This matter has been settled. As for the criticism, I have prepared a great gift for you. I believe that after this matter is completed, your position as prime minister will be secure."
"A big gift?"
Ma Wu was flattered, but also very confused.
Xing Bang smiled, "I am going to hand over Cui Sheng's case to you for trial. The Dali Temple has imprisoned a large number of officials. Although many of them are mediocre, the court is in need of people right now, so you can still keep them for the time being."
"I know that Cui Sheng, that bastard, would take revenge on me, but I have no choice but to do this. First, the situation is unclear after I just returned to the capital, and second, I want to intimidate all officials."
"Cui Sheng is now the target of public criticism. I wanted to spare his life, but this bastard was so audacious that he killed Wu Jingzhi's concubine, killing two people. This is such a beastly act. I cannot spare his life."
"I have already verified this matter. The next thing is up to you. Check the officials in the Dali Temple carefully. If there is no problem, release them all. If there are still people who can be reused, you can promote them on your own. I will not be responsible for anything else."
"Yes, Your Majesty, I will definitely live up to Your Majesty's expectations."
Ma Wu nodded solemnly. He now felt relieved and was very grateful for Xing Bang's efforts. This was completely to establish his prestige.
"Cui Sheng must be killed, and the scene must be grand. We should use his head to give an explanation to all officials and the people."
"Yes, Your Majesty, I understand."
Ma Wu responded.
"Not only will you kill Cui Sheng this time, I hope you will also make drastic changes to the court's atmosphere and cultivate more upright people. Those incompetent officials should be dismissed, and those who have committed serious crimes should be killed. No mercy should be shown to them."
"Yes, my lord, I obey your command."
"Okay, there's nothing else to do. Go back and rest. Tomorrow the king will be going on a long journey, so the affairs of the capital will be handed over to you and Wei Yong. The king has already informed him. You two are one civil and one military, so go ahead and do it with confidence."
Xing Bang gave one last instruction, Ma Wu agreed, and then left.
After Ma Wu left, Xing Bang had nothing to do, so he went to Lin Suyi's place.
Lin Suyi was sitting in the yard with a small cart next to her. Her nanny was entertaining her and Lin Suyi was looking at her with a kind face.
