However, they also knew that Prince Jinrui Zhao was of noble status and always acted in a mysterious and unpredictable manner. Rushing to urge him would not only be impolite, but might also cause unnecessary trouble.
Left with no other choice, everyone could only suppress their anxiety and wait patiently.
Some ministers unconsciously rubbed their sleeves repeatedly, trying to relieve their inner anxiety.
Some frowned, their eyes filled with a searching desire, occasionally glancing at the expressions of those around them, hoping to glean a clue from others.
The hall was filled with an atmosphere of barely suppressed curiosity and tension, as everyone waited for the veil of mystery to be slowly lifted.
Feng Qingyun's big, dark eyes curved into crescents, and when she heard Qin Qianluo's question, a sweet smile appeared on her lips.
Her soft, sweet voice was like honey: "Don't be in such a hurry, Luo Bao, I've only just started talking."
As she spoke, she shook her head and said earnestly, "Xu Guzhi is truly a rare and excellent official."
He lived a very simple life, and his clothes were always washed until they were somewhat faded, and he never seemed to buy new ones.
He never cared about extravagance when it came to meals, cherishing every grain of rice and every bowl of porridge.
"Ever since he entered officialdom, his heart has been entirely devoted to the people." Feng Qingyun gestured with her small hands in the air, speaking vividly.
In order to govern Linyuan County well, he often worked until late at night, tirelessly visiting the people to understand their difficulties and then finding ways to solve them one by one.
In the past few years, for example, tax revenue in Linyuan County has been rising steadily, people's lives have become more and more prosperous, markets are bustling with activity, and farmland is a scene of abundant harvest.
This dramatic transformation is inseparable from Xu Guzhi's efforts, and of course, it also owes much to the equally dedicated officials around him.
"The local people's love and respect for him comes from the bottom of their hearts," Feng Qingyun said, her eyes sparkling.
No matter where he went in Lin Yuan County, he could hear the people praising him.
Everyone says he's a good official sent by Heaven, bringing good days to everyone. People respect and are grateful to him from the bottom of their hearts.
As Qin Qianlu listened to Feng Qingyun's barrage of praise, her lips twitched subconsciously.
Although he looked somewhat helpless, his heart was filled with joy and relief, as if it were being warmed by the sun.
She holds in high esteem and admiration those officials who are sincere and dedicated to serving the people.
In her mind, such officials are the backbone of the country and the people's reliance.
Therefore, after hearing Feng Qingyun's praise of Xu Guzhi, her affection for Xu Guzhi increased exponentially, like vines growing wildly in spring.
She turned her head slightly, her gaze gently falling on the light screen that emitted a soft glow.
In the video, Xu Guzhi's clothes are worn out and even have several patches on them.
But every part was washed clean, exuding a sense of simplicity and neatness.
He stood upright, like a pine tree, proudly standing between heaven and earth.
No matter how many hardships life throws at him, they cannot break his spirit; every action he takes demonstrates his noble character of integrity and incorruptibility.
Qin Qianluo was deeply moved by the scene before her and secretly made a decision in her heart: after the morning court session ended.
Be sure to go to the space and carefully select some books that can be of great use in the governance and development of Linyuan County.
Hopefully, this will provide Lord Xu with some new ideas and methods for governing Linyuan County.
In addition, she also had to select all kinds of delicious food. Oh, and I almost forgot, she also had to choose some brightly colored and high-quality fabrics.
Lord Xu is so frugal and simple; he must be devoted to his official duties and hasn't bought himself a new piece of clothing in a long time. These fabrics will come in handy.
The new clothes made for Lord Xu not only provide him with more new clothes, but also serve as a token of my respect and gratitude for this good official.
When Feng Qingyun's clear, childlike yet sincere praise rang out, it was like a boulder thrown into a calm lake, stirring up ripples.
The ministers, who had been pondering, froze, their faces filled with surprise, as if time itself had stood still.
All eyes were focused on King Jinrui Zhao, their faces filled with astonishment and disbelief.
In their previous understanding, they had long been accustomed to Feng Qingyun's sharp evaluations of them.
She was always very concise in her evaluations of court officials, so such lavish praise was unprecedented.
This sudden praise instantly ignited the ministers' curiosity, while also stirring up a complex and indescribable emotion.
For a moment, the ministers were filled with mixed feelings, as if a bottle of mixed emotions had been spilled.
Those who had initially harbored some suspicion towards Xu Guzhi instantly cast those thoughts to the winds, replaced by intense envy and jealousy.
Their eyes involuntarily turned to Xu Guzhi.
In those gazes, there was both resentment and bitterness at his gaining Feng Qingyun's favor, and sincere admiration for his solid political achievements and noble character.
The ministers' gazes shifted back and forth between the light screen and Xu Guzhi, as if they were conducting a silent comparison.
Xu Guzhi, as seen in the light screen, was dressed simply, the fabric faded from washing, yet neatly and cleanly, every crease exuding a rustic charm.
Looking at him now, standing in the Golden Palace, his court robes are also old and worn.
Compared to the new, crisp, exquisitely embroidered, and finely silk court robes worn by the surrounding ministers, Xu Guzhi's court robes appeared particularly shabby.
