Chapter 74
The meal has not yet been served.
Xuanyifu, holding Yan Jinjin in one hand and Li Ang in the other, dragged the two of them to the warm room in a very embarrassing way. For Xuanyifu, that place was a place to relax and had many happy memories there.
The central hall of Xuan Zheng Hall is where the morning court is held, and the side hall on the east is divided into two parts: a large study with a rest room inside, and the side hall outside the warm room on the west, where ministers are occasionally received for meals.
Many people work in their study in the morning.
"Zhao Banban, bring some snacks and fruits." Many Fushengs were very happy and said to their friends, "My father is not here, so I am the boss here now."
When Zhao Erxi came in and heard this, he couldn't help but smile and responded with a yes.
His Majesty said that he should listen to Your Highness.
Xuanyunfu got the response from Manager Zhao, and became even more confident. He pushed Li Ang to sit on the couch and said, "Let's have some snacks first. I just asked the imperial chef to prepare your favorite food. I guess it will take a while."
Yan Huaijin sat at the other end.
"There is no tiger in the mountain, now I am the Monkey King." Xuan Xuanfu sat next to his little classmate.
Yan Huaijin and Li Ang both laughed when they heard this.
After Zhao Erxi served the food, he saw that Young Master Li was still a little reserved, so he waved his hand and asked the eunuchs to leave and wait at the door. He also went to see if the imperial kitchen was ready.
So there were only three people left in the warm room.
Li Ang said, "I can eat anything, no need to bother."
"It's not a big deal. I'm very happy that you came to see me." Xuanyuefu pinched Yan Jinjin's hair and said, "Actually, I wanted to ask you to come over, but I was afraid that it would be troublesome for you to run back and forth."
Yan Huaijin raised his eyes, looked at Xuanyufu, and said seriously: "Don't think too much, Xuanyufu, we won't mind the trouble between friends."
"Woo woo woo." Manyu Fu hummed.
The three of them chatted and talked about the class. Li Ang sighed and said, "Since Liu Qiang left, you were not here either. The class suddenly became much quieter. In the past, Wang Yuansun didn't talk when he was here. I always felt that it was the same with or without him, but the results were still different."
“You don’t know, Li Ze would look at Wang Yuansun’s empty seat from time to time.”
Many people commented: "If there is Yu, why is there Liang? These two have the same personality. They fought each other in the early stage, but now they have developed feelings for each other."
Li Ang only understood half of what he heard, but he roughly understood a lot of what Fu meant.
"Master Hu also took a look at your position today," Yan Huaijin said.
Xuanyuefu covered his deskmate's mouth and said, "You don't have to get involved in this topic like that."
Yan Huaijin's mouth was covered, and his eyes curved with a smile. Li Ang laughed.
"But why is Master Hu still teaching in Chongming Hall?" Xuan Fu was curious.
Yan Huaijin grumbled twice, and Xuan Duofu let go of his hand. Yan Huaijin looked at Xuan Duofu and said, "If Master Hu doesn't come to Chongming Hall, then I will go to the East Palace to block you, or come to Xuanzheng Hall to block you."
"...Yan Jinjin, you are very smart and you are right." Xuanyu Fu said hurriedly.
Tutor Hu is now the Prince's Tutor, a first-rank official, and is supposed to be on duty in the Eastern Palace. However, these days, Xuanfu has been visiting his two fathers every day, leaving early and returning late. When he returns to the Eastern Palace, the officials on duty have already left work early, so he has never met Tutor Hu.
"The teacher is bored when he goes to the palace every day. He may not be able to see you in the East Palace, so he comes to Chongming Hall to see us. However, it is only during the morning reading period that he randomly checks on us reciting our lessons." Li Ang said.
The whole class has a crush on Master Hu. Some students with serious personalities and good academics admire Master Hu very much, while those who are unlearned and lively and naughty, led by the prince, are afraid of Master Hu, but they still respect him in their hearts.
"How are the two new tutors?" Xuan Fu was about to change the subject. Tutor Hu was giving him a lesson. He was 'threatening' him during the lesson, and then treated him like a child and said, 'I don't think Your Highness is like Tian Ze Ming Xian, a tyrant emperor', to encourage him.
Yan Huaijin said: "Most of them are like Master Hu, who teaches in a simple and orthodox way—"
"That's because you learn too fast and too deeply." Li Ang continued, and said to Xuan Duofu: "Let me tell you this, Ke Qing likes the new tutor very much."
Xuanyuefu understood everything at once.
Ke Qing has been studying for many years. He took the imperial examination last time, but failed. He studied harder and focused on preparing for the imperial examination. Now they go to school together, and Ke Qing likes Tutor Hu more than Tutor Yan, because Tutor Yan talks about many things, including laws, people's livelihood, economy, commercial taxes, etc.
Many people know that the imperial examination questions of this dynasty do not test eight-legged essays, but the Four Books and Five Classics, as well as the understanding of Confucian thoughts by great scholars. The last big question is policy essays, which use small points to touch upon big issues, and discuss governing the country and people's livelihood.
Therefore, Xuan Fu felt that what Master Yan said was actually very suitable for answering policy essays.
It's just that the part about Confucianism on the Four Books and Five Classics is basic skills and can be learned by rote memorization. If you get high scores in these two parts, even if your policy essay is mediocre, you can still "pass the exam."
Tutor Hu's early teaching was very solid. Later, because he was the crown prince, the teaching plan was specially adjusted. After all, he did not have to take the imperial examination or become an official, but to be a qualified king. Tutor Hu's teaching was both shallow and deep, and he was afraid that the prince would not understand if he taught too deeply.
At that time, Xuanyifu and Master Hu also spent some time getting to know each other.
Headache.
At this time, many people are thankful: "Fortunately, I don't have to go to school, otherwise I would be scared."
The new tutor’s teaching is more solid than that of Tutor Hu.
"Teacher Yan entered the cabinet, and Master Hu entered the East Palace. Now the two young masters have to teach for a whole morning. Even I can't handle it." Li Ang sighed. He wanted to make progress, and he made an appointment with Zhou Quan to give it a try next year, but now-
"I'm a little scared."
Yan Huaijin said: "If you maintain your current state, it will be no problem for you to become a Jinshi."
Xuanyuefu: ...looking at Li Ang, "Okay, you are that annoying nerd who says, 'Oh, I can't do this, I failed the test this time', and once the results come out, you get full marks in every subject." He pinched his throat when he imitated the word 'Oh', which made Yan Huaijin laugh. Xuanyuefu lowered his head and pinched his deskmate's hair again.
After chatting for a while, Zhao Banban came to serve the meal.
The three of them went to the side hall outside to have their meal. Xuanyifu did not sit at the main seat, but sat on one side with his little classmate. There was a long table for three of them, and the table was filled with dishes. The sour and spicy dishes that Li Ang liked were placed next to Li Ang, while Xuanyifu had spicy and steamed dishes.
Enjoy your meal!
"Why don't you guys sleep in the Xuanzheng Hall for a while." Xuanyu Fu tried to persuade them to stay.
Li Ang shook his head and said no, "I'll go back to Chongming Hall to sleep, you can also take a rest. Do you still need to review government documents in the afternoon?"
"Yeah. Actually it's not bad." Xuan Fu didn't say much, turned around and said to his deskmate: "You can come to me after school in the afternoon, you can eat snacks and study in the warm room, the light here is good, I used to love to come here to do homework after school."
Yan Huaijin thought about it and nodded in agreement.
"Li Ang, are you coming?" Xuanyunfu asked.
"I won't come. If you don't mind bothering me, I'll come to your place for lunch every few days." Li Ang finished speaking, and then explained: "After school, Zhou Quan and I have to recite the scriptures. After the change of junior tutor, he recently reviewed the Four Books and Five Classics to make up for the gaps. I'll follow him."
Manyufu: ...It sounds scary.
The Spring Examination will be held in the early spring of next year, so I should study very hard now.
After dinner, Yan Huaijin and Li Ang went back. Xuanyunfu was in good spirits because he had "absorbed" his two friends. He went to the warm room to sleep for a while, and then went to the study in the afternoon to review memorials.
After approving the memorials, they would be sent to the cabinet, which would review them again. If there were any inappropriate or doubtful aspects, the cabinet elders would come to discuss them face to face. In just one afternoon, Fu learned a lot, but he also felt dizzy.
He stretched.
Wang Yuanyuan was heartbroken and said, "Your Highness, Master Yan arrived an incense stick ago and is in the warm room. Would you like to take a look?"
"Yan Jinjin is here? Then I'll go see her." When Xuanyuefu went to the warm room, he was wondering if his father had been reviewing memorials all day, and when he was taking a break, he saw a cute, lively and well-behaved son in the warm room, and all his fatigue of the day was gone!
My father is so lucky to have such a precious son like me!
Xuanyun Fu felt much happier after gilding the veil on his face. In the evening, he played with Yan Huaijin in the warm room - Yan Huaijin was doing homework while he was eating fruit beside her. They also had dinner together, and then Yan Huaijin left the palace.
I had dinner early for fear that the palace gates would be locked.
When Xuan Fu was strolling back to the East Palace, he unexpectedly saw Master Hu. He immediately looked at Wang Banban nervously and whispered, "The palace gates are locked, but Master Hu hasn't left yet?"
Wang Yuanyuan doesn’t know either.
Master Hu stepped forward to greet him, and Duo Nuofu stood up straight and raised his hand and said, "Master Hu, there is no need to be polite. It is getting late now. Master Hu--"
"I have been waiting for Your Highness, but I missed the time. The palace gates are locked and I cannot get out. Please take me in for one night. I have something to say to you." Tutor Hu spoke in a very kind tone, showing that he wanted to have a night chat with Your Highness.
Xuanyu Fu: It’s so abominable that Master Hu has become as shameless as him!
"Let's go, Master Hu, don't be polite."
"Wang Banban, have someone clean up the guest rooms in the front yard and assign a few eunuchs to look after Master Hu."
Master Hu even politely nodded to Steward Wang to express his gratitude, without any of his previous stubbornness, seriousness, and inhumanity towards eunuchs.
As time goes by, Master Hu will make his own judgment on whether the East Factory is good or bad.
People's ideas will change, improve, and be corrected over time.
Wang Yuanyuan was flattered and hurriedly gave orders.
"I'll go change my clothes. Master Hu hasn't eaten yet, so let's eat first. If you have anything to say, don't rush. We can talk later."
Master Hu: “Yes.”
Xuan Fu went to the backyard and muttered, "Master Hu is very smart now. Not only does he know how to please me, but he is also much more patient." The expression on his face was no longer so solemn. He treated him like a strict academician from a university or a kindergarten teacher.
Grand Steward Wang can protect His Highness from harm, but he can do nothing about Grand Tutor Hu.
Xuan Fu changed his clothes and relaxed for a while. He felt it was boring to stroll around alone, so he "walked into a trap" and went to the front yard. Taifu Hu had not yet had his meal and was just relaxing and drinking tea when he saw the prince coming down and bowed to greet him.
"Master, you're welcome." Xuan Duofu sat aside and said, "Dinner will be served soon, don't drink too much tea."
Master Hu smiled and said, "Thank you for your concern, Your Highness."
But because Master Hu has been serious for decades, every wrinkle on his face looks serious and solemn. In recent years, he has tried to take a amiable approach, but the effect is not so good and he still looks very serious.
However, Xuanfu thought, a serious old man of such an old age was willing to change for him, so how could he be so harsh and make other demands?
"What does the Master want to say?" In fact, Xuan Duofu knew.
Hu Taifu said seriously, "Your Highness is young, and now you are busy with state affairs, but you must not neglect your studies. Diligence makes you proficient, while playfulness makes you lazy. Success is achieved through thinking, while carelessness makes you fail..."
He just knew it.
Xuan Fu wanted to struggle a bit more, saying, "But I don't have time."
Master Hu raised his white beard twice, looking at His Highness seriously and angrily. His Highness felt guilty and gave in first, "Okay, okay, there is still a little time, I will sort out the schedule."
Fortunately, the eunuch came in and announced that dinner was ready.
Xuanfu said "saved" and left, saying "Master Hu, have dinner first" and ran away. He just wandered into Master Hu's room out of boredom. He must have been cursed!
Going to the backyard, Xuan Duofu muttered to himself, but gave an order, "Go to Xuanzheng Hall and ask Chief Steward Zhao to come over. I have something to ask you."
"Yes." Shunde went to run errands.
Xuanyifu had lunch at four in the afternoon, because the palace gates closed early when it got dark in winter. In order to have dinner with his little classmate, he had dinner earlier. Now, after all the hassle, he felt a little hungry.
"Ask the kitchen what we have for dinner today and have some served. No need to go too early. It will be delivered in about an hour." Xuanyu Fu ordered.
Zhuyue should go to deliver the message.
Soon, Manager Zhao came running in breathlessly. When Xuanyunfu saw him, he said, "Zhao Banban, nothing serious happened here. No need to come here in such a hurry." It must be that Shunde's message was passed on in a very consistent manner, so Zhao Banban thought that something had happened to him.
"Sit down and have some tea first."
Zhuixing moved a stool and asked Zhao Zongguan to sit down. Zhao Erxi was not polite and sat down halfway on the stool, saying, "It's okay for me to stay in Xuanzheng Hall."
Hot tea was served and Zhao Erxi took a few sips.
Manyu Fu chatted: "Zhao Banban, didn't my father tell me to give me a lazy version of the schedule?"
"Your Majesty did not tell me about the course schedule before he went on the expedition, but he has instructed me to follow your instructions." Zhao Erxi quickly stood up and replied.
Xuan Fuxian gestured to Zhao Banban to sit down, but he was thinking: It seems that the emperor did not give him a lazy version of the schedule, but he gave him a lot of authority, so he can adjust it himself!
After working all day, Xuanyue Fu felt that his efficiency was a bit slow. This was because he did not understand the operation of the court and government offices. It took him a lot of time to review memorials and discuss matters, unlike his father who knew the complications at a glance. Therefore, he reviewed memorials and discussed government affairs in a short and efficient manner.
He had to "review" it again, and take the memorial he had approved with great difficulty back to the cabinet to look at it again before coming back to him - what a waste of time.
"In this way, efficiency will be high in the morning, and government affairs can be handled in two hours. Zhao Banban, please go back and decorate the study in Xuanzheng Hall and prepare tables and chairs on both sides. Tomorrow morning, I will discuss the memorial with the cabinet in the study."
It was approved directly.
"I have to study for an hour in the afternoon, and I will play for the rest of the time."
Otherwise, he would be "aging prematurely" if he worked every day. His father is really amazing. He is still young and energetic after doing so much work. He doesn't get tired even when he plays. Many people sighed.
Manager Zhao smiled and agreed, saying it was no problem at all, then went back to make the arrangements.
Xuan Fu called Wang Banban and said, "Tomorrow, Wen Lianglu, Xu Muyu and others will enter the palace and report directly to the study in Xuanzheng Hall." The emperor said that we should not use only a few people back and forth. The team of the Eastern Palace is our own people, and now is a good opportunity to hone our skills.
We can't just train him alone while all his subordinates are drinking tea in the East Palace. What a lie!
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has a jealous look on his face.
After arranging everything, His Royal Highness felt hungry and said to Shunde, "Go to the front yard and tell Master Hu that I can study during the entire 3:00 pm every day from now on. Let Master Hu give lectures in the study room of Xuanzheng Hall."
Study from 1pm to 3pm, and accept your fate.
Shunde has sent the message.
Xuan Fu calculated that he would eat and sleep at noon, and his time would be after three in the afternoon. Yan Jinjin would come over from school at three-thirty or four o'clock, so they could still have lunch and chat together. What should he do from the afternoon to the evening?
Forget about studying. Xuanfu thought of something and hurried to the dormitory, turned over the pillow, and took out a cowhide map. Very good, I can think about this!
So there are a lot of daily activities.
Xuanyuefu has looked at the map several times but has no clue. He can't understand the drawing at all. He will take it to Xuanzheng Hall tomorrow and ask Yan Jinjin what he thinks of it.
After the new schedule was arranged, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was hungry, so the meal was served.
After another meal, I rested for a while, played skipping rope in the yard, then took a shower and went to sleep.
At about half past six the next morning, Xuan Duofu woke up first, washed, dressed, had breakfast, and then practiced some fancy boxing in the yard, laughing and yelling. After that, he washed, changed clothes, and went to work in the Xuanzheng Hall.
At eight o'clock, a group of cabinet elders arrived at the study in Xuanzheng Hall and waited. Not only cabinet members were there, but also those from the East Palace, standing on both sides, one on the east and one on the west.
Wen Erdan, He Tong and others stood there trembling with fear. They had never thought in their lives that they, with a mere seventh rank, would one day be able to stand together with the cabinet elders. Not only that, but after hearing His Highness's intention, they were also asked to participate in government affairs.
Let alone the minor officials in the Eastern Palace, even Wen Lianglu and Xu Muyu were a little reserved. Wen Lianglu was only a fifth-rank official in the Ministry of Rites before, but he was promoted to the fourth rank when he came to the Eastern Palace. Now he is doing the work of a first-rank official.
Who dares to think about it.
In the cabinet, the youngest and least experienced person is Yan Ning. Yan Ning does not have an easy time in the cabinet. As a newcomer, he has just arrived and was parachuted in by the emperor. The old ministers in the cabinet all look down on Yan Ning. However, when working in a new place, there is always a period of adaptation and learning, which Yan Ning has to overcome on his own.
Being chosen and valued by the emperor gives you an advantage over other officials.
Everyone has to overcome difficulties on their own, just like His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. Yesterday was the first day he was in charge of state affairs. He vaguely felt that the cabinet was giving him a "show of power", so he naturally did not express it so directly. As soon as his father left, the cabinet came to him respectfully and fearfully to ask him for his approval on all matters, no matter how big or small.
Not to mention the few redoes, the old ministers in the cabinet taught him like "training a dog", praising him for doing a good job, but the praise also contained a hint of derogation -
They really want to teach him a lesson for his own good, or the old bureaucrats take the opportunity to teach him a lesson, make him disgusted with government affairs, and then delegate power to the cabinet to manage it. In fact, there is nothing wrong, but what makes Fu unhappy is that these old cabinet members do not say it explicitly, and they want to force him to let go. He has a bad reputation, and the cabinet is just an emergency.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has arrived--" Zhao Erxi shouted.
The ministers on both sides greeted each other respectfully and bowed to each other.
Xuan Fu was still wearing his casual narrow-sleeved uniform today, which was low-key and convenient for movement. With a normal expression, he walked through the courtiers on both sides and sat on his father's dragon throne in the study - this was not a real dragon throne, the real dragon throne was in the main hall.
He sat there yesterday, no big deal.
After Xuan Fu sat down, he looked at the people below and said with a smile: "Good morning, everyone. Yesterday, I was busy with government affairs from morning to afternoon, and the result was a mess. I read the memorial three times. It was too slow."
"I think we can mobilize some people and ask the cabinet to come to the study to take charge. I will look at the memorials to be processed. If there is anything I don't understand, I can ask them. This will also save the elderly cabinet from running around."
Lin Shoufu first said respectfully: "This old minister does not deserve it."
Other ministers echoed.
Xuanyun Fu didn't answer. He told Zhao Banban to bring the table over, regardless of whether you dared to be his boss or not. Anyway, the matter was settled, so listen to him! Then he said, "No more words, everyone, get busy."
Everyone in the cabinet looked at Lin Shoufu, and took Lin Shoufu as the standard. Lin Shoufu sat down in the position below His Highness without saying much, and the others sat down. The East Palace was still standing.
"I haven't finished reading all the letters of greeting that were submitted from all over the country yesterday. Lord Lin, please find them and send them to the Eastern Palace. They have no qualifications, so this is a good opportunity for them to learn and hone their skills." Xuanyifu's tone made it clear who was close and who was distant.
Moreover, many people called Prime Minister Lin simply Lord Lin and treated him as an ordinary minister.
Zhou Ruwei in the cabinet remained expressionless, but thought to himself: His Highness is worthy of being the emperor's biological son. Yesterday, he seemed so soft and irritable that he let these old men bully him, and today he is returning to the cabinet to show his power.
Prime Minister Lin stood up and said respectfully, "I remember putting it in the cabinet. I will go get it now."
"Well, go ahead."
Many people would also give a slap in the face and then give a sweet date. His seniority and tactics were not as good as those of the old ministers, but he had a huge natural advantage - he was the prince, and now he had the final say.
Moreover, if these people in the cabinet dare to play a trick on him, his father gave him the secret manual on employing forty people, and he doesn't mind picking a few of them. These cabinet elders had better not treat him like dough!
Huh? Did Father guess it?
The people in the East Palace were a little timid at first, but after the Crown Prince's words, Wen Liang, Lu Xu and Mu Yu took the lead in being neither humble nor arrogant, as if they had sensed some rift between the Cabinet and His Highness, so they naturally followed His Highness's wishes.
The two parties sat back.
Prime Minister Lin hadn't come for a long time, and the memorials of greeting hadn't been delivered. There was nothing to do in the East Palace, so Xuanyufu asked Chief Steward Zhao to go and take a look. But when he saw it, Chief Steward Zhao looked embarrassed and said, "Prime Minister Lin has fainted."
It doesn't matter whether it's real or fake. Xuan Duofu said: "Ask the imperial physician to take a look and inform the Lin family that Lord Lin is not feeling well and needs to return home to recuperate first."
"As for the greeting letter, I will go and get it myself."
Xuanyuefu stood up and walked out. Where was the cabinet built? In the Taiji Palace, in his home. Was there any place or document that he couldn't go to or see?
Wang Yuanyuan followed His Highness and started to scold Prime Minister Lin without thinking twice, which really made His Highness angry. Naturally, even though Wang scolded him, he still looked respectful and humble.
After His Highness left, the study in Xuanzheng Hall fell silent.
Manyu Fu arrived at the cabinet, and Lin Shoufu was still slumped in his chair. After a while, the imperial physician came to check his pulse. Lin Shoufu woke up faintly, and when he saw His Highness, his eyes were filled with guilt, "I have made Your Highness worry."
"Prime Minister Lin is old, and it is my fault. I should have sent someone else to get it. But the cabinet is very important, especially the memorials are related to military and national affairs. I am also afraid that the eunuchs will trespass and take the wrong ones." Xuan Fu stepped forward and explained one by one with a gentle look.
The two of them had a superficially harmonious relationship. As for whether Prime Minister Lin was angry and trying to manipulate His Highness, or was really unwell, only Prime Minister Lin himself knew. Anyway, Xuan Fu was just acting.
Prime Minister Lin's eyes were red, and he sighed deeply, saying, "Your Majesty has just left Shengdu, and this old minister is feeling unwell and has fallen down. Your Highness is tired from all the hard work."
"Whatever Lord Lin said, this is my responsibility." Xuanyunfu turned to look at the imperial physician, "You go with me to the Lin residence and help Lord Lin take care of his health."
The imperial physician bowed and said yes.
Jinwu Guards came to carry the person, and Xuanyufu even asked Wang to accompany him: "Call my sedan chair to take Lord Lin out of the palace."
"Your Highness, please don't do that. It will only embarrass this old minister."
Manyu Fujiang pressed Lin Shoufu's arm back and smiled, "Moduo said that Lord Lin's health is important, go quickly." The latter said to the Jinwu Guards.
Wait until all the work is done.
Xuanyifu personally brought the memorial back to Xuanzheng Hall. Zhao Er happily stepped forward to receive it. Xuanyifu said, "Show it to the East Palace. These are all greetings from various places. If they are ordinary greetings, you can approve them. If there are any hidden secrets, put them aside and I will take a look at them later."
Wen Lianglu and others stood up and said yes.
"Prime Minister Lin has returned home to recuperate. State affairs cannot be delayed for a single day. Please continue your work." Xuanyu Fu sat in his seat.
One of the elders said, "Your Highness, when Prime Minister Lin left, did you keep the Prime Minister's seal? Without the seal, it would be easier to approve the memorials today, but it would be impossible to distribute them to the six ministries and let them do their work without the seal."
"Should we send someone to the Lin residence to get it?"
"I'm afraid Prime Minister Lin hasn't gone far yet. Why don't I go and ask him?"
Xuan Fu looked at the few people with a stern face. These old officials were not afraid of him at all. They wanted to take advantage of the fact that Prime Minister Lin would never come back and go on strike today, right?
I showed him a warning yesterday, and now that he dares to resist, I’ll play the same trick on him again: Prime Minister Lin fell ill and fainted after taking the memorial?
He was already a little fed up with being an official and having to deal with interpersonal relationships.
"Whoever wants to go can go. Before my father left for the expedition, he said that although I am young, I am very smart and that the court is full of loyal ministers, so I can give orders boldly and with confidence. Therefore, he left me the imperial seal. Chief Steward Zhao, please bring the seal here."
Zhao Erxi said respectfully: "Yes, I obey your command."
At this time, the Xuan Zheng Hall was so quiet that you could hear the sound of water dropping onto the ground.
Although Xuan Fu was a little annoyed, he suppressed his anger and did not continue to provoke the faces of the old ministers. He thought that these people really wanted to help him get back the position of Prime Minister Zhangzi.
"I know that you are all worried about Lord Lin's health. If you want to visit him, please wait until you get off work."
Several old ministers who had stood up immediately said, "Your Highness is right."
His Highness's embroidery fist kicked a hole in the cabinet, which used to be very close-knit. In the past few years, it seemed that Zhou Ruwei had the upper hand, but in fact, Prime Minister Lin was the only one in power. In the past few years, Zhou Ruwei has been restrained and behaved in a restrained manner.
The work was done very efficiently this morning.
Many people who reviewed memorials did not take offense, as they did not know much, so they naturally asked questions. However, this time it was the Crown Prince's turn to praise him, saying, "So this is the relationship. Lord Hu explained it to me in just a few words. Lord Hu is really amazing."
"Now that it has been decided, let's do it this way. Let Lord Hu keep an eye on the government affairs. When my father comes back, I will definitely give Lord Hu a credit in front of him." I'll give you a little red flower.
Sixty-three-year-old Hu Ge Lao: ...
Although I can see clearly what His Highness is doing, I will never fall for it.
All the important government documents were reviewed that morning. It was not just Duoduofu who did the work. He trusted the other cabinet ministers very much and gave them their tasks. If the cabinet was full of good-for-nothings, his father would not have kept them around. They must be capable people who could do the job.
I just wanted to give him a little warning, but he just won't take it hard!
After lunch, the work was done. Xuan Fu stretched and said, "There are some routine affairs left, which the cabinet will handle in the afternoon. Prime Minister Lin's seal is not here, so I will use mine first. Wang will accompany me. I will give my seal to Lord Zhou."
Everyone in the study knew about this. If something went wrong and the order was wrong, Xuanfu would tie Zhou Ruwei to him. He was the crown prince, so who would dare to punish him? Naturally, Zhou Ruwei would take the blame.
I think Lord Zhou also knows this.
Being under the watchful eyes of the public, Zhou Ruwei felt extremely nervous, but he understood that this was his only chance in the cabinet, a chance to become the Prime Minister.
Who wouldn’t want to?
The ministers had different expressions and then left.
Many blessings stayed with Zhou Ruwei. "I heard that Zhou Quan wanted to leave next year. He wanted to wait a little longer before. Why did he suddenly leave early?"
Zhou Ruwei didn't expect His Highness to ask this, and was slightly stunned. "My son has an idea. I want to try it out next year. If it doesn't work, I can calm down and study again."
"He has been very diligent. Zhou Quan said before that he would be 20 years old in the next term. It is good to take the exam earlier now. He is still very young. If he passes the exam, he can enter the court as an official at the age of 16 or 17." Xuan Fu muttered a few words, finished chatting and sent the guests away, "It is getting late, Lord Zhou, go eat quickly."
Actually, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is hungry and wants to eat.
Zhou Ruwei bowed and left, only to ponder His Highness's words on the way back. His Highness seemed young and ignorant, but in fact he was wise and courageous...
What is the deep meaning of what I just said?
The author has something to say:
His Highness Duozi Yu Yanwu: Beat with one fist and kick!
