Chapter 635: The Wife is in Charge of the Talk
On the first day back in the palace, Emperor Mingpei did not rush to ask about state affairs. He sent his son back directly on the grounds of fatigue from the long journey.
Xinbao met and chatted with his father and each of his brothers several times, crying and laughing, until all his energy was exhausted, and he hung on his father with his four paws spread out.
Daddy gently pressed her head with his chin and asked her in a deep voice: "Were you scared when you were caught by the bad guys?"
Tuanzi said blankly: "I don't know, I forgot...you can ask my wife."
So her wife said it silently.
The second brother asked her, "You accepted another apprentice?"
Tuanzi nodded, "Yes, very good, let your wife tell you."
The second brother raised his hand and pressed it on her belly, rubbing it: "You let others tell you everything, don't you have a mouth?"
"It's grown," Tuanzi said, "but I'm tired. Besides, Xinbao and my wife have a clear division of labor. Xinbao does physical labor and my wife does mental labor, so my wife is in charge of talking."
No one expected that it was the silly third brother who asked her: "Why did you ask your wife for help when you encountered trouble?"
Tuanzi: “…”
She thought for a while, then said embarrassedly: "In fact, my wife is in charge of everything. Xinbao is only responsible for tricking my wife into getting him."
Several people laughed.
The fourth brother couldn't help but reach out and rub Tuanzi's little belly.
I haven't heard my sister's sweet words for a long time, and I really miss her so much.
The next day, Emperor Mingpei attended the court in person. After the court, he went to the imperial study with Yan Qingshan.
Yan Qingshan, Yan Shirong and other court officials were discussing matters, but Emperor Mingpei ignored them or interrupted them. He just sat behind his desk and listened leisurely.
He left the capital not only to deal with the thief Taoist, but also to allow Yan Qingshan and Yan Shirong to grow quickly.
Both father and son are people with great potential.
Yan Qingshan is cautious and steady. If he is not allowed to take charge, he will definitely abide by his duties. But if the stall is really handed over to him, the deep sense of responsibility engraved in his bones will make him do his best to shoulder this burden and strive to do it to perfection.
As for Yan Shirong, he was a young genius, sharp and meticulous, and had all the skills and thinking of a politician. But perhaps because he was young and had been ill for a long time, he always had a mentality of... I will give you advice, you just go ahead and do it...
In his heart, he always put himself in a supporting position.
But although Yan Qingshan is wise, he has obvious shortcomings.
He had little knowledge and was not very familiar with state affairs, so when he suddenly took on such a burden, Yan Shirong could only fight side by side with his father and work together to shoulder the responsibilities.
The father protects the son, and the son protects the father.
They complement each other and grow rapidly.
Now it seems that everything is going in the direction he wants. In just six months, the growth rate of father and son is amazing.
But Emperor Mingpei did not want to abdicate or anything like that; it was not the right time yet.
But with a son and a grandson like this, many things will become very easy.
Emperor Mingpei was quite satisfied.
But for the court officials, the prince is actually easier to serve than the emperor.
Emperor Mingpei reigned for thirty years. To put it bluntly, the emperor's heart was like a needle in the sea. Until the very last moment, no one knew what the emperor was thinking.
Although His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is a man of few words, he is tough in his style. He will listen to a lot of people's opinions, but when it comes to making decisions, he is very decisive and never requires others to guess.
Until noon.
Because they had just returned, Madam Lin took Xinbao to the Prince Wu'an's Palace and did not come here.
Emperor Mingpei drove away all the court officials, and the three of them had dinner together.
While eating, Emperor Mingpei said to Yan Qingshan: "Well done."
Yan Qingshan only said: "Father, I, your son... have been very worried."
Emperor Mingpei smiled and said, "When you are in a position, your words must be followed by the law. It is inevitable that you will be nervous. Only by remembering this feeling can you be a wise emperor."
Yan Qingshan did not refute and bowed his head in agreement.
Emperor Mingpei asked Yan Shirong again: "Do you still want to participate in the examination next year?"
"Yes, Yeye." Yan Shirong said, "If my grandson doesn't use this goal to force himself, I'm afraid he will no longer have the heart to study. Knowledge will never let you down, and the imperial examination is more than just an imperial examination. What I want is not just the title of six yuan. Now that the foreign invasion has been eliminated, the country is peaceful and the people are safe, and Yeye is back, I feel at peace, and I am not in a hurry."
Emperor Mingpei smiled and said, "It's good to be able to keep your composure, but what I'm worried about is not whether you can keep your composure or not... You are good at reading people's minds, which is your strength, but in your position, you are condescending, and most of the time, what they think is not important."
Yan Shirong was slightly startled, and Emperor Mingpei continued: "You put yourself in the wrong position. Do you understand?"
There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!
Yan Shirong was smart and quick-witted, he understood immediately and nodded slowly.
Emperor Mingpei meant that, for example, now, even if he was facing those old foxes in the court, he could almost know what they were thinking at once... It's not that this is not important, but that his psychological self-perception is wrong.
He is still fighting them head-on, responding to their moves...but actually he doesn't need to be like this, because he is the king and they are the subjects, he is in a superior position, he should be like this, I don't care what you think, I don't care what you do, but for this matter, I want this result, you must do it.
Emperor Mingpei saw that he understood, so he stopped talking and started chatting with them.
Xinbao's side.
As soon as Mrs. Lin came back, she gave gifts to people everywhere.
There are ones in Wu'an Palace, Yuan Palace, Shen Palace, etc., and even some of Xinbao's semi-teachers, such as Wang Ronggui, Gan Baibi and Cheng Fuju.
During the months they were in Shengping Palace, Madam Lin held the wedding for Yu Ru and Zhong Li Min. Before and after the martial arts examination, Shen Shouyan's house was very lively, so he moved to a bigger house.
Xinbao followed Madam Lin to the Wu'an Palace early in the morning and brought a black wolfberry tree, the kind that can be planted on the ground.
The old prince and the old princess were in high spirits because of the good news. They had both used Xinbao's medicine, so they were in good health. Their two little babies were also chubby and cute, and they were fun to watch.
Xinbao played with A Niang for the whole morning and returned to the palace after lunch. After returning to the palace, they went straight to the Qianqing Palace.
Because Yan Qingshan was far less efficient than Emperor Mingpei, matters were still being discussed in the afternoon. Emperor Mingpei was multitasking, listening to the meeting and reviewing memorials at the same time.
As soon as Xinbao arrived, he called him in. Tuanzi was shocked when he saw a room full of people.
Everyone saluted.
Xinbao was also very happy: "Master Li, Senior Brother Liang, everyone, long time no see! How are you?"
Li Tingfang smiled anxiously and said, "Thank you for your concern, Your Highness. I am fine."
Liang Ruoxu smiled and pulled Tuanzi's hand: "I am fine, but I miss your highness."
Tuanzi immediately felt guilty and glanced to the side: "Xinbao, I miss you too."
After a few pleasantries, Emperor Mingpei directly held Tuanzi on his lap and asked her, "Is it fun to go to Grandpa's house?"
Tuanzi looked at the people in the room, then put his hand on Yeye's ear and started whispering.
Ming Peiden's ears felt itchy because of what she said. He frowned and nodded continuously. He wanted to hide to the side, but Tuanzi wouldn't let him. As soon as he moved, Tuanzi's nimble little hands reached out, pulled his chin, and forced his ears back together, holding him tightly.
After the discussion was over, Prime Minister Yuan said, "Your Majesty, I heard that Magistrate Bao Hui will be in the capital tomorrow."
Emperor Mingpei said: "Tomorrow... the tenth day? That's just right!"
