It's not like the emperor doesn't have other reliable people, but they are either too old or too high-ranking. If they are assigned to do something like this, they will have to find a reason to demote Yuan An. It will cause turmoil in the family, so forget it.
The emperor thought about it for a long time and decided that he should give young people a chance. Perhaps they would be more motivated and would do things better.
When Zhou Zhiyi heard the emperor's instructions, he immediately responded respectfully, "I obey your order!"
When the emperor saw Zhou Zhiyi agreed, he waved him aside. He then turned his gaze to Sun Changping and asked, "Sun Changping, are you willing to go to Quanzhou to be a clerk?"
"I am willing!" As soon as the emperor finished speaking, Sun Changping was already kneeling in the center of the hall.
Sun Changping thought, is this how one of us is treated? He was directly promoted from the sixth rank to the fifth rank.
The speed at which Sun Changping knelt made both the Second Prince and Yuan Bohua laugh, especially the Second Prince, who laughed openly and loudly.
Although the emperor thought that the grandson of Marquis Sheng'en was quite sensible, seeing his son laughing like that, he could only glare at the Second Prince and Yuan Bohua helplessly.
The Second Prince and Yuan Bohua lowered their heads and tried hard to suppress their laughter.
"You are also a good child!" The emperor couldn't find the right words of praise for a moment.
Even with such a dry compliment, Sun Changping was very happy. He immediately kowtowed three times to the emperor with great sincerity, "Thank you for your trust, Your Majesty!"
Although Sun Changping's action seemed rather old-fashioned, the emperor was quite happy.
Who doesn’t like someone who knows what’s interesting? The emperor likes it even more.
The emperor goes to court every day and competes with those old troublemakers in battles of wits and courage. Who wouldn't like to see someone so sincere occasionally!
After the emperor arranged the matters of Zhou Zhiyi and Sun Changping, he turned his gaze to Yuan Bohua.
Yuan Bohua quickly replied, "Your Majesty, I am not good at business, but my princess does have some talent in business."
Yuan Bohua said this because he didn't want to take away Yue'er's credit. He could earn his own credit, but no one could take credit for Yue'er's work, including him.
"I know! I want to ask you what your plans are for the future?"
As soon as the emperor asked this question, Yuan Bohua saw Sun Changping looking at him with envy.
Sun Changping was extremely shocked at this moment. It turned out that he could choose his own people!
At this moment, Sun Changping firmly thought that he must work hard in the future and strive to be treated like Prince Fu'an one day.
"Your Majesty, I want to go to the battlefield and kill the enemy. My parents and family members have died on the battlefield, and I don't want to die in Yuan'an, this comfortable nest."
This was indeed Yuan Bohua's true inner thought. He was a bit bloodthirsty, and when he talked about going to the battlefield, he felt his blood boiling.
The emperor was very satisfied with Yuan Bohua's bravery, and he was worthy of being Youbai's son.
"I didn't want you to go before because you weren't married yet. If anything happened, I wouldn't be able to explain myself to Youbai when I see him again. Now your son is two, you can go if you want."
When the emperor said this, Sun Changping was still the first to be shocked. Prince Fu'an was actually going to compete with them for military merit, and he felt even more pressured.
Yuan Bohua was quite surprised to see the emperor give in so easily. He had originally thought that the emperor would not agree and was just saying it casually.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Yuan Bohua immediately knelt in the middle of the hall to express his gratitude. After expressing his gratitude, Yuan Bohua looked up at the emperor, waiting for his next order.
The emperor knew Yuan Bohua's martial arts and knowledge, but these were just talk. "Starting tomorrow, you will go to the camp outside the capital to serve as a soldier!
The Beijing suburbs camp will be fighting bandits everywhere soon, there are many opportunities to make meritorious deeds, are you willing to do it?"
Yuan Bohua is of course willing, "I obey your order!"
When the second prince saw that the work of the rest of the people in the hall had been arranged, he thought that the matter was over.
Just as the second prince was about to step forward to congratulate Yuan Bohua for finally getting what he wanted.
The emperor then turned his gaze to the second prince Li Jingchen.
The Second Prince pointed at himself in disbelief, "Is there anything else I can do? Isn't I responsible for all the coordination here?"
"It's not about that! Rather, starting tomorrow, you will accompany me to court every day, and the rest of the time you will study by my side. Unless you are too sick to get up, you cannot be absent."
The second prince responded respectfully with a "yes". He felt that since he seldom missed the morning court and was with his father whenever he had time every day, there shouldn't be much difference.
The emperor looked at the Second Prince and knew that he didn't understand the difference and the deeper meaning. But he didn't explain it any further, waiting for the Second Prince to discover it himself tomorrow.
Sometimes the emperor felt that it was quite amusing to laugh at his own son's jokes.
Everything on the emperor's side had been arranged, but Zhou Qiongyue had just met Yu Hairen.
Zhou Qiongyue looked at the dark-skinned black man who was bowing below her. She almost didn't connect this person with the gentle middle-aged man in her mind - Yu Hai.
Since Zhou Qiongyue was curious, she asked directly, "Why did you become like this?"
"Princess, I think this looks good. It has a healthy beauty." Yu Hai has been with Zhou Qiongyue for a long time and knows that this master is a kind and easy-going person, so he did not reply so seriously.
Zhou Qiongyue now felt that what she had just said was a bit inappropriate, so she changed the subject and said, "Sit down!"
Yu Hai thanked Zhou Qiongyue and only half sat in the seat below, not daring to sit down firmly.
Although the master is easy to get along with, Yu Hai has been a servant for so long that the rules have long been ingrained in his bones.
No matter how easy-going his master is, Yu Hai doesn't dare to cross the line easily in front of his master.
As soon as Yu Hai sat down, Gu Ju personally came forward and served him a cup of tea.
Yu Hai has had a good relationship with Luo Yong over the years, so Gu Ju can be considered his sister-in-law. Yu Hai also thanked Gu Ju.
After Yu Hai took the tea, he began to report on the countries they visited this time, as well as what they saw and heard along the way and what they brought back.
After listening to this, Zhou Qiongyue smiled and praised, "I am truly relieved to leave this caravan to you. You have done a great job this time. When you leave the palace later, please stop by the palace's accounting office to collect your reward."
Yu Hai not only heard the praise, but also received a reward. He was extremely happy both in his heart and on his face.
When thanking him, his face was full of smiles.
Zhou Qiongyue gave the reward first, and then started to talk about the next work, "Hurry up and deal with these goods in your hands, you will have to return to the previous mode in the future.
They would make money by reselling goods along the way, quietly exchange them for food when they reached their destination, and then resell some goods on their way back."
Yu Hai was no fool. When he heard the princess's order, he immediately guessed what she was planning. He boldly asked, "Master, are you going to stockpile a large amount of food?"
In this era, hoarding a large amount of food is not a trivial matter. If it goes wrong, all the nine clans will be involved. Yu Hai now has a wife and children, and he doesn't want to...
