On April 18th, the third year of Tiande, a grand court meeting was held.
On this day, Yun Xiyan got up earlier than ever before.
He bathed, changed his clothes, and carefully adjusted his court robes in front of the dressing mirror. Then he sat alone in the courtyard, under the light of a dim lantern, and leisurely brewed a pot of tea.
This is the three-courtyard house he bought, and he is the only one in it.
It was very deserted, but he never felt it.
There was a knock on the door. Yun Xiyan went to open the door and led Zong Shiji and Gongsun Ce in.
It's only the beginning of the morning hour, and I guess too many people stayed awake last night.
The three of them sat around the stone table, and Gongsun Ce smiled and said, "It's time for you to get married, kid."
Yun Xiyan poured tea and said with a smile: "Don't blame me, what about you?"
"No rush. I'm afraid I won't have time to go on a blind date or get married next."
"Yes, but in a year or two at most, once all the forces are pacified, life will become stable... I'm afraid Your Majesty will make some big moves at today's grand court meeting. I thought about it all night last night, and it's nothing more than the former Yi and Fan kingdoms."
After a pause, Yun Xiyan continued, "Your Majesty had many old friends in the former Yu Dynasty. He himself had a profound influence in the Yu Dynasty. The Yu Dynasty must have been the first to stabilize. I just don't know how Your Majesty will manage these other two places."
Zong Shiji took a sip of tea and asked, "Will you adopt the Chi Lechuan method?"
Yun Xiyan thought for a moment and shook his head. "Didn't His Majesty say that the administrative regions should be redivided? I guess he wants to incorporate these three countries into the new Wu Dynasty... or simply redivide them all. So today's court meeting will definitely be very long. After a couple of cups of tea, we should go to Xinglinji to eat more buns."
"Hahahaha, what you said makes sense. After all, this grand court meeting hasn't been held for a long time."
Gongsun Ce sighed deeply. "I came from Wofeng Road, and now Wofeng Road belongs to His Majesty. I wanted to go back to Wofeng Road, but His Majesty scolded me... He said there was nothing to do in Wofeng Road. If things go wrong, His Majesty will just throw me to Yi State or Fan State. Sigh...!"
"What the hell are you sighing about? Do you know how many ministers in the court are keeping an eye on these two places? The one who gets out is at least a prefect! A high-ranking official! Isn't he better than a mere assistant minister of the Ministry of Personnel like you?"
"Let me analyze this for you. Your Majesty is about the same age as us. Think about it, if he were to be sent out for a few years and then come back... forget about the three provincial governors for now, but will the six ministers be stable?"
Gongsun Ce was stunned. Is there such a bright future?
"So... it's a good thing?"
"This is such a great opportunity! I was thinking about going out. Speaking of which, even though the Minister of Commerce is only a third-rank official, his ceiling is so high. The Taotai is also a third-rank official, but he has the opportunity to climb higher!"
Gongsun Ce laughed and said, "Come on, come on, breakfast is on my table."
"How can this be possible? If you really were sent out to be a Daotai, you would need to hold a banquet at Sifang Tower and then book a room at Liuyun Tower in the evening!"
…
…
Fu Xiaoguan put on the dragon robe with Chunxiu's help.
This thing is brand new, but today's event is really grand, and he rarely behaves well and lets Chunxiu do whatever she wants.
"Husband,"
"Um."
"...You must not harbor any resentment towards the Queen."
Fu Xiaoguan was stunned. "I don't hate Wen Yun. What's wrong?"
"When the Queen left yesterday... her eyes were swollen. She must have been devastated, so Concubine Lan and Concubine Yan thought about it and decided to go back with her. Concubine Hua Zhang Pei'er said that you've been too busy these days and might not have considered the Queen's feelings. I'm glad you don't resent him."
Fu Xiaoguan sighed inwardly. He really had no time these days and had not thought about this problem. It was he who neglected it.
He grasped Chunxiu's hand, looked into her eyes, and said seriously, "Your husband will always be the same husband. I won't change at all. No matter how big this country becomes, no matter how great my achievements are, in my husband's heart, none of this is as important as any of you!"
Chunxiu was suddenly shocked. She looked at Fu Xiaoguan infatuatedly, the man she had served since she was a child.
She was worried at first because this man was getting busier and busier. He expanded his territory and built a huge empire. Sima Che said it was just like doing business. As the business grew bigger, the person at the helm would become busier and busier, and there would even be more women around him.
Sima Che said that she was very worried that he would be blinded by these great achievements.
Zhang Pei'er said that she was very worried that as he grew older, he would eventually find a new love and forget his old love.
However, Xu Xinyan, Susu and Wu Linger remained calm, but there seemed to be a hint of uneasiness in their calmness.
They said that the Prime Minister had created a grand situation that had never happened in the past thousand years. The five countries on this continent were united in his hands, and he would become an emperor of all ages!
The phrase "the greatest emperor of all time" brought great pressure to Chunxiu.
Because from the beginning to the end, in Chunxiu's heart, her husband was no different from the small landlord in Linjiang, except that he had more land.
But now her husband’s fields have suddenly become so numerous... Chunxiu began to feel scared.
Hearing her husband say this, her heart gradually relaxed, she felt at ease, and a smile gradually appeared on her face.
"Your words are enough for us. You are a man, and men must take responsibility. Go ahead, and we will take good care of this harem."
Fu Xiaoguan cupped Chunxiu's face and breathed a sweet sigh of relief. "Tell them that your husband is indeed quite busy, and it seems he will be busy for a long time. But your husband promised you that he would take you to travel the whole world, and he will do it. Don't be anxious, and don't let your imagination run wild!"
"Um!"
Chunxiu watched Fu Xiaoguan's back disappear into the night, and her heart felt as sweet as honey - he was still the young master of Linjiang, which was really great.
Jia Nanxing's injuries had not yet recovered, and Liu Jin was waiting outside the Yangxin Palace.
"Your Majesty, breakfast is ready. May I ask if Your Majesty would like to have it delivered to the Imperial Study?"
"Okay...wait, Liu Jin,"
"The servant is here."
"Forget it, let's go."
Liu Jin was stunned for a moment. Fu Xiaoguan had already boarded the sedan chair, which was heading towards the imperial study. What Liu Jin didn't know was that in this moment he had lost a huge power -
Zhou Tongtong committed suicide, and the Imperial Clerk's Office was leaderless. Liu Jin's performance these days won the favor of Fu Xiaoguan, and he almost appointed Liu Jin as the head of Tianji Pavilion!
The Tianji Pavilion and the Yulitai should be separated. One is for secret investigations and the other is for open investigations. Both are extremely important institutions in the country.
Fu Xiaoguan had breakfast in the imperial study. He sorted out the stack of documents in front of him again and took a sedan chair to the Xuande Hall.
All the ministers have arrived at the Xuande Hall, and they are all looking forward to his arrival.
