Is there anything wrong with Chapter 388?
After returning to the East Palace and having dinner, Chu Chengyi carried Chu Qinshu to the study.
"Shu'er, go back to sleep first. Dad wants to see the mineral vein map."
Chu Qinshu rarely slept outside in winter, so Chu Chengyi always held her in his arms before letting her into the room.
"Yes, Shu'er, find a book for Daddy."
Chu Qinshu nodded obediently and disappeared into Chu Chengyi's arms.
After entering the space, I started looking for books on the bookshelf.
Although she worked in biotechnology in her previous life, she was good at everything from physics to biology.
Therefore, she has read quite a few books on mineral mining and refining.
But she probably hadn't finished memorizing it yet, so after she found a few books, she ran to the ancient tree to memorize them.
Chu Chengyi was looking at a mineral vein map in the study when several books suddenly appeared out of nowhere and fell into his arms.
He picked it up and saw that it was a book about smelting iron and steel and purifying gold and silver.
Well, I must read the books my daughter gives me carefully.
So that night, the father and daughter, one was reciting in the living room, and the other was reading in the study, and no one slept.
The next morning, Chu Chengyi went to court as usual, but he did not hug Chu Qinshu.
After the court was dismissed and he returned to Yu's study, Emperor Yongping still asked about Chu Qinshu. He hadn't seen his granddaughter for several days.
In the past few months, he has advised himself countless times not to bother with his only legitimate son, as long as he can hug his granddaughter every now and then.
But this son is getting more and more outrageous. Not to mention every few days, even every five or seven days, he may not be able to see his granddaughter.
When asked, it turns out that the granddaughter has gone back to her own place. When asked again, it turns out that the granddaughter is busy at her own place.
He knew that his granddaughter was a lucky star and would have her own territory.
But he is just an emperor who loves his granddaughter. He wants to see her and hug her. Is there anything wrong with that?
"Father, I want to send Feng Minghan to Luocheng. He has been in Youzhou for several years and is more familiar with the local customs there. I feel more at ease letting him govern Luocheng."
Chu Chengyi didn't want to say more about his daughter.
Some things, once done, are done.
Some hearts, once hurt, are hurt forever.
No matter how you try to remedy the situation afterwards, it's hard to go back to the way it was before.
What Prince Ning wanted to threaten was his daughter's life, and he would not forgive it no matter what.
"Has Luocheng been captured?"
Emperor Yongping's information channel was official letters. Luocheng was captured only yesterday, and even if the letter sent back by Wang Zhenyue was rushed at an expedited rate of 800 miles, it would take more than a month for it to reach Emperor Yongping.
"Yes, we captured it yesterday. No one from the Youzhou Army was killed or wounded, and all the members of the Qingluo royal family have been captured and imprisoned."
Chu Chengyi nodded and briefly described the situation in Luocheng.
"Okay, okay, okay, okay, it's great that my Sheng'an Kingdom will finally unify the northern border one day."
When Emperor Yongping heard the news, he couldn't control his excitement for a moment and almost laughed himself to death.
"Yes, it's a good thing. So, father, please issue an order as soon as possible to implement my suggestion. The governance of Luocheng is the key to unifying the northern border."
Chu Chengyi gave Emperor Yongping enough time to calm down, and then waited for him to reply.
When officials were sent to the cities that had been conquered previously, the chief officers were all nominated by Chu Chengyi, and Emperor Yongping would make an order after considering the matter.
Chu Chengyi felt that this time, it would be similar to before.
"This matter is of great importance. Please allow me to think about it before making a decision."
After Emperor Yongping calmed down, he began to seriously consider the governance of Luocheng.
The original Qingluo Kingdom had a vast territory, even much larger than Sheng'an Kingdom.
But the environment there is bad, and the land available for growing crops is not as much as in Sheng'an.
Moreover, the distance between the cities there is quite far, and the desert and swamps are natural barriers between the cities.
Places like this need to be governed by people who can be trusted.
The previous cities were no longer under control, but Luocheng was different. The chief officer of Luocheng was also responsible for capturing those cities that had not been captured.
"Well, I will ask you tomorrow."
Chu Chengyi didn't think much about it. Luocheng would be the most important city of Sheng'an Kingdom in the north in the future, so it was right to be cautious when sending officials there.
So he gave Emperor Yongping a whole day.
"Tomorrow? How can this be decided in one day? Shouldn't I discuss this with the court officials?"
Emperor Yongping was thinking about the right candidate, but was at a loss after hearing Chu Chengyi's words.
I've told you to think about it, but how can you think of everything in one day?
"The court officials don't need to interfere in the affairs of the North. They didn't offer any strategies when we attacked the North, and they don't need to say much when we govern the North."
Chu Chengyi didn't care what Emperor Yongping was thinking. He and his daughter had jointly conquered the northern border. What qualifications did those pedantic court officials have to interfere?
"you......"
Emperor Yongping looked at Chu Chengyi, seemingly not expecting him to say such a thing, and for a moment he didn't know how to refute him.
Are the courtiers pedantic? He thinks it's not so bad.
As for offering suggestions and advice, weren't they given no chance at all?
"If the court officials were capable, why hasn't Sheng Anguo solved the problem of food and clothing for the people? Why are there a few corrupt officials caught every year? Why are the spies so rampant that they can replace the imperial teacher? Why......"
"Forget it, forget it. I won't discuss this with the court officials. I can just think about it myself."
Emperor Yongping was a little overwhelmed by Chu Chengyi's questions.
Isn’t the problem of food and sufficiency a perennial problem?
Doesn’t corruption exist from generation to generation?
Hasn’t fine-sculpture existed from generation to generation?
How come these are unforgivable sins when it comes to my own son?
Let me ask the five countries in Changxing mainland, oh, now it should be four countries, which country does not have these problems?
How did this problem, which has existed for thousands of years, rise to the level where court officials were incompetent?
If court officials are incompetent, can the court employ them?
"Yeah, okay."
Seeing that Emperor Yongping no longer insisted, Chu Chengyi nodded in agreement.
Then, he turned his wheelchair around and prepared to leave, "I'll take my leave."
"Hey, why are you in such a hurry to leave? I have been collecting memorials for several days. Why don't you help me read them? Do you want to tire me to death?"
Emperor Yongping didn't know why he felt guilty in front of Chu Chengyi, but there was too much work to do, so he had to bite the bullet and ask people to stay and help.
"Father, I have no intention of working you to death. On the contrary, I hope you live a long life. You may not be able to read those memorials, but the Hanlin Academy is not just for show."
Chu Chengyi had no intention of staying to read the memorial.
The affairs of the northern border, the affairs of the Yansha Kingdom, and the affairs of the Chiling Kingdom, which one is not more important than reading the memorials?
He cannot afford to delay expanding the territory with his daughter. As for his old father, his biggest role is to look after the house.
The Hanlin who was reading the memorials on the side silently wiped the non-existent sweat from his forehead. Wasn't he just a decoration?
All I read were memorials from ministers greeting each other.
These ministers are really incompetent, just as His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said.
The memorial to express greetings was so full of nonsense that he had to read and review it, which was really difficult for him.
If possible, he also wants to follow His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.
