Chapter 26: Tyrants are natural flirts

Ming He closed the book and bowed to her respectfully. Jun Lin went over to hold his arms and raised his eyebrows: "How many times do I have to tell you that you don't have to be so polite to me in private."

The man's throat trembled, and his chest rose and fell with this joyful smile: "I make the laws, so why don't I obey them?"

It is the rule for subjects to pay respect to the king.

Even though they said this, their tone was as friendly and intimate as old friends.

Ming He has always been longing for the day when the monarch he follows will rule the world and unify the four kingdoms.

"I have read some books left by our ancestors here, which have left me with a deep impression. The contents of the reforms, such as abolishing well-field system, emphasizing agriculture and mulberry, and rewarding military merit, are not much different. The key lies in whether the monarch can accept and implement them."

He carefully stroked the ink on the book, his eyes clear and calm.

Jun Lin curled his lips and said, "Of course I will listen to you if you have a reasonable opinion. Just do it. Even if I can't change my mind and reject it, I will give you a chance to convince me. Just have a reason and evidence."

She is not a robot and cannot operate at a high intensity 24 hours a day.

Sometimes we get lost in confusion and get stuck in a rut, so this is when the importance of ministers comes into play.

Since ancient times, there have been countless loyal people who risked their lives to give advice. Only with them can the rulers make up for their shortcomings and play a decisive role at critical moments.

Minghe liked her open-mindedness, which was rare in a ruler who was at the top of power and easily looked down on others.

Jun Lin took the book from his hand and flipped through it with his eyes lowered.

He raised his hand and the long sleeves of his black official robe slipped down, revealing a thin but beautiful white forearm, and took down the book from the higher layer.

That is the book of the Legalists, The Book of Lord Shang

"This one..."

"Um?"

He lowered his head and was about to discuss something with her, but unexpectedly the person reading also raised his head at the same time. The narrow distance between the two rows of bookshelves was so close that their bodies were pressed very closely.

Warm lips fell on her eyelashes, and the soft touch brought some surprise and panic, just like the owner of the lips, whose eyes suddenly widened, and there was a faint trembling of water in her dark pupils.

The fingers gripping the edge of the book tightened helplessly, and some of the hair hanging down from his temples fell on Jun Lin's fair cheeks.

Jun Lin was also stunned, then laughed out loud: "Could it be that we haven't been together properly for five years, and Minghe is trying to show his intimacy with me?"

He took a small step back, but there was no way to retreat. His thin back was pressed against the bookshelf, and his heart suddenly became confused.

The man felt his lips, which had just touched her eyelashes, were a little hot.

Maybe the strange thing is that Wang Sheng in Dajing is too beautiful, which makes it easy for people to blur the gender and develop a good impression of him.

He was helpless: "Master, stop teasing me."

Like a little secret that everyone follows, everyone calls her in a unique way.

On the surface, Shen Sinian called her brother, but secretly he called him "King" with admiration and fondness.

Manhuang called him "my lord" in a daze, while Minghe called him "head of the family".

Jun Lin, who has many titles: Just be happy ^_^

Jun Lin said frankly, "How can it be a joke? The fact that you are willing to be close to me shows that I am a good king. But next time, don't be so intimate."

She said with a teasing smile: "Don't forget that I have a good relationship with Long Yang. I will take you into the harem as my favorite concubine."

As if startled by her outrageous remarks, Ming He slowly blinked, then burst into laughter, covering his lips with his hands, his eyes flowing with a gentle stream, so clear and gentle that it made people lose their minds: "Forget it, I think those two have already given you enough headaches."

He said considerately, "I won't cause you any more trouble."

Jun Lin held up the book in his hand with a hint of doting and resentment, and tapped him on the forehead: "You, you only know how to tease me."

Minghe touched his forehead and just pursed his lips without saying anything, but anyone could see that this self-disciplined left prime minister was very happy now.

Back to the topic, he opened the Book of Shangjun and placed it in front of Junlin. The first chapter was about changing the laws.

This chapter records some disputes and discussions about legal reform, which is the essence of Legalism. Most importantly, the current Jing State needs to be reformed through legal reform.

Minghe spoke seriously and with a serious attitude towards academics: "Reward agriculture to enrich the country, reward military achievements to strengthen the army, unify the ruling power to govern, and change the customs to rectify the people."

Each of the four major departments has its own laws, and the whole country follows the same rules to ensure that the orders are enforced.

Jun Lin pondered for a moment: "Ritual governs the state, stabilizes the country, regulates the people, and benefits future generations."

She paused and laughed heartily: "You take charge of the rituals, and Master Man takes charge of the rites and music. This way I can go out without any worries."

Ming He paused as he turned the pages of the book. He lowered his eyes and looked at her: "The master wants to leave the palace?"

Jun Lin sighed: "There are many things that need me to deal with. I have to make money for you. Otherwise, where will the funds come from for you to do these things?"

The man said angrily: "You are responsible for making money to support the family, and we are only responsible for looking beautiful."

It was extremely rare for Minghe to say such a joke, which stunned Junlin. She bent over with laughter, and the other party also bent his lips.

"I misjudged you at first. When I first met you at the Legalist Academy, I thought you were a heartless, iron-faced, and selfless person who only cared about working."

He shook his head in amusement: "No."

After laughing enough, Jun Lin entrusted him with care: "I will leave the harem in a while and leave it to you and Elder Man to take care of me. If you have any questions, you can contact me through the secret guards at any time."

She held his hand and patted the back of his hand affectionately: "Don't take things on your own. In addition to the old court, there are some old loyal ministers who can be trusted. I'm sure you know who they are. Don't be polite and use them all to make their old bones move."

The two people's hands were warm and touching, but no one found it unusual.

Junlin has been playing men for so many years that he has already completely immersed himself in the role, and Minghe also thinks that this is just a warm brotherhood rather than a master-servant relationship, and there is nothing to be surprised about.

He listened to her detailed instructions and responded patiently.

The Emperor Jing in front of him was as bright and dazzling as he was five years ago. He was the one he decided to follow.

Just as the atmosphere between the two was heating up, the door of Wenyuan Pavilion was pushed open again. The man walked lightly, calmly and confidently, leaning against the door frame in an elegant blue shirt, and his slightly upturned peach blossom eyes looked at the two people between the bookshelves with interest.

"My husband, what are you doing? Are you taking a new concubine?"

She didn't call him "Your Majesty" or "The Emperor", but just "husband" as a joke, so Jun Lin knew without even looking that Jin Ge was here.
