Chapter 220: Court Affairs

This was Yun Zhuan's tenth time attending the morning court.

She finally got used to so many people kneeling before her.

But even though she has been on the throne for so long, she still has that unrealistic and empty feeling in her heart.

"Stand up." Duhuo, who was standing next to him, was calm and composed.

The ministers all stood up and began the first round of the morning court session.

Report.

Yun Zhu sat on the phoenix chair, feeling so sleepy that his scalp was numb.

She had never thought that as a queen, she would have to deal with so many memorials?!

The pile of memorials did give Yun Xu'an a headache for several days. At the beginning, Yun Xu'an would keep both Wanqi Rang and Wanqi Ruqing.

Help her review memorials.

Later, Yun Zhuan directly summoned Jiang Shinian back to Beijing and criticized him.

As for why, it was because Jiang Shinian always wrote memorials to the current female emperor, Yun Zhuan.

There are only four words each.

Greetings, Your Majesty.

Can you please forgive me so that we don't have to report this in a separate memorial?

The only serious memorial Jiang Shinian wrote was full of random things, but the final meaning was to ask Yun Jianan to rest assured, as she had arranged everything.

Don't worry about money, all the money she earns belongs to Yun Zhuan.

Yun Ju'an was still a little reluctant and unwilling to give up such a rich bag.

Isn’t this the old hen that lays golden eggs?

She is the economic lifeline of Nanzhao, so we must provide her with good services no matter what!

However, Yun Zhuan still expressed his dissatisfaction with Jiang Shinian's frivolous treatment of the memorials.

Jiang Shinian did listen to it.

So the next memorial Jiang Shinian sent became:

Your Majesty, I have earned another 10,000 taels of silver.

Yun Zhuan: “…”

She could only grit her teeth, then waved her hand and wrote four words: "I know!"

Wanqi Ruqing is three or four years older than Yun Ju'an, but she is still a young lady after all.

When she was at home, although Wanqi Rang was very strict, it was only with regard to her studies and the like. He rarely controlled her daily life, so Wanqi Ruqing lived a very free life.

But ever since she started hanging out with Yun Ju'an, she rarely sleeps soundly.

How to say it?

Ever since Wanqi Rang stayed up for two long nights to help Yun Ju'an review the memorials, he handed this arduous task to Wanqi Ruqing.

Wanqi Ruqing really did not let her mother down and she was able to handle things with ease.

Helped Yun Zhuan solve a lot of problems.

But the latest trouble is...

"I have something to report!" Minister of Personnel Xue Mingrui stepped forward.

Xue Mingrui, the Xue family is considered a prominent family in Yingdu, with many branches. The legitimate son of the main wife, Xue Mingrui, is a unique family in the court.

A big tree has deep roots, which is equivalent to the Su family of the Yuan Dynasty.

Although Xue Mingrui is a young man, but!

Her behavior is all old-fashioned!

Yun Yu'an was overwhelmed when he saw her talking, but he couldn't stop her. After all, she was a person of status and position, so how could he refuse her from speaking?

Otherwise, the old officials will feel disheartened.

Yun Yu'an looked at her sharp eyes and knew what she was going to say!

"Go ahead." Yun Shuan sighed and took off his slippers.

And he silently said in his heart, I think Your Majesty should start selecting talents, balance the former dynasty and the harem, and expand the Nanzhao royal family...

Sure enough, the next second, Xue Mingrui said:

"I think that Your Majesty should start selecting talents to balance the former court and the harem and expand the royal family. The selection should be handled by the Ministry of Revenue, the Ministry of Rites, and the Ministry of Personnel. The selection is not only the business of Your Majesty, but also the business of the entire Nanzhao."

Yun Zhu sat there in a state of emptiness.

Xue Mingrui went even further and said that if she didn't have children, it would affect the friendly relations between these countries, right?

Yun Zhuan was silent for a while: "Well, I still have to observe mourning for the late queen for three years!"

Although the late queen had a bad reputation, observing mourning for three years could help Yunzhu and Anji improve their reputation.

Besides, Yun Ju'an did feel sad for Nan Wu, so it was not impossible for him to observe mourning on his own initiative.

Besides, Nan Wu is her aunt.

Xue Mingrui frowned as expected. This was the third time she had said this today, but His Majesty always used mourning as an excuse.

"How about, let's just start with Jian?" Xue Mingrui took a step back.

Yun Zhuan raised his eyebrows. Since you took a step back, don't blame me for pressing on:

"It's really not appropriate to get married during the three years of mourning. Besides, Nanzhao has suffered a great setback before and is in a state of disrepair. I can't handle my own affairs without taking care of my good reputation."

These words were said in a very structured way, but they were actually Yun Zhuan's true words.

Su Yu'an was also assigned a position by Yun Zhuan. After listening to the two's argument, she sincerely disliked Xue Mingrui:

"Since Your Majesty is focusing on state affairs, let's wait until the situation stabilizes before selecting the talent."

Yun Zhuan made the final decision: "Besides this, do other ministers have anything to report?"

If you have, tell me; if you don’t, go to bed and make up for it.

I finally finished reviewing all the memorials, and now another batch is coming.

I am really impressed.

"I have something to report." Lu Zihe stood up, "Your Majesty, the agricultural affairs of Lingnan have always been in charge of Li Si Nong, but the territory of Nanzhao is so vast that only one Si Nong is obviously not enough. Your Majesty, please arrange for a few more."

Lu Zihe is the Minister of Revenue, also a young man. He is steady and serious in his work and is a talent that can be cultivated.

"The economic lifeline of Nanzhao has always been controlled by the Jiang family. This is not necessarily effective for the development of the entire Nanzha. Moreover, since we need to trade with other countries, if everything is arranged by the Jiang family alone, it may not be accepted by the public."

Yun Ju'an narrowed her eyes. Now, she was uneasy about handing the money over to anyone. But what Lu Zihe said was indeed right. If the Jiang family really had some rebellious intentions one day, wouldn't they just take her under control?

But don’t employ people you doubt, and don’t doubt people you employ.

She didn't want to become one of those emperors who were always suspicious.

"Is the Grand Scholar of the Cabinet here?" Yun Ju'an asked.

This official position is not high, it is only a fifth rank, but if we really talk about the content, this Grand Academician of the Cabinet does hold other positions concurrently.

For example, Taifu and Taishi.

Master Yao stood up, full of righteousness and a solemn expression:

"The old minister is here."

Yun Zhuan ordered: "Since I have just ascended the throne and am not familiar with many things, I will leave the matter of finding the Minister of Agriculture to Yao Taishi. As for the matter of the Jiang family monopolizing the economy of Nanzhao, we will discuss it later. The matter of trade will be jointly drafted by the six ministries and the inner cabinet, and I will issue instructions after reviewing it."

"I obey your command."

Yun Zhu breathed a sigh of relief: "Let's leave the court."
