"Sister, what should I do? Father doesn't allow me to run around, and I really want to go out and play." Zhao Qingrui supported her chin with both hands, her eyes dull.
"Didn't the emperor compromise? You can play around Xianyang now." Yin Man smiled helplessly.
Perhaps only my younger sister dares to complain about our father like this. None of the other brothers and sisters dare to be rude in front of our father.
"What fun things are there around here? I've almost visited all these places." Zhao Qingrui pouted.
"Okay, don't be unhappy. I heard that a delicious restaurant opened in the suburbs. Do you want to go and try it together? I heard that their fish soup is delicious." Yin Man chuckled and said gently.
"Okay, let's go and take a look." Zhao Qingrui had no objection.
I suddenly handed the work in my hands to my father, and I was free all of a sudden, which made me feel a little uncomfortable.
Really, this habit is not a good habit and must be changed.
The two sisters led their people towards the suburbs, and sent 100,000 people into the Ministry of Works. With the army watching, all these people were sent to the new city to carry out construction.
The construction speed of the new city has visibly increased a lot, and Zhao Qingrui is very satisfied.
"I wonder what the rebuilt Xianyang City will look like. I'm really looking forward to it." Yin Man looked expectantly at the people who were working hard.
"It should be very majestic. This place will be under the feet of the emperor in the future, so naturally it has to be the best." Zhao Qingrui raised his head proudly.
"That's right, the design drawings my younger sister brought out will definitely not be bad." Yin Man nodded in agreement.
The two sisters walked and chatted as they went. It was a rare opportunity to have such free time. Zhao Qingrui liked this slow-paced life.
At this time, the atmosphere in Zhangtai Palace was a little solemn. Ying Zheng looked at his sons coldly. He had been away from Xianyang for more than half a year, and these sons and daughters began to indulge themselves one by one, and their knowledge had regressed a lot.
"Ahem, father, we are not going to be great scholars in the future, so there is no need to learn so much. It's tiring to learn." Jiang Lu said cautiously with his arms folded. Anyway, they were not going to be emperors, so why did father still have such high expectations of them?
Finally, they don’t have to be watched by their father anymore, and they want to live a more relaxed life.
"How dare you talk back! Go back and copy the Book of Documents ten times." Ying Zheng was so angry at the brat's remarks. So, just because you are not allowed to be emperor, you start to act like a spoiled brat, right?
"Father, I know I was wrong." Seeing that his father was even angrier, Jiang Lu realized his mistake belatedly and shrank his neck.
Ying Zheng glanced at him and sneered. He was scared now. If he hadn't seen that Jiang Lu was injured, he would definitely let Jiang Lu copy the "Book of Documents" a hundred times.
"Am I asking you to study more because I want to harm you? Qing Rui was so busy before, but she still had to spare time to study with Wang Jian and Gan Luo. Can't you study more with Qing Rui?"
"I don't expect you to learn Qing Rui's skills, but hard work can make up for lack of talent. Look at what you have become."
"If Qingrui becomes emperor, or her descendants become emperors, what will happen to your descendants? If you don't work hard, you may not even be able to support your descendants in the future." Ying Zheng was very disappointed.
Was it because he paid too little attention to these children in the past, which led to them all becoming perfunctory and even starting to slack off when he was not in Xianyang?
Thinking of this, Ying Zheng began to have a headache.
He knew that it was of little use for him to take care of these things, as these children had settled down and were no longer children.
"Your sons know they were wrong." They said in unison. If they didn't admit their mistakes honestly now, their father would definitely be even angrier.
Not like me, not like me.
Looking at these children with their humble and submissive appearance, Ying Zheng felt powerless. The children's personalities were already set, and it was basically unrealistic to want to change them.
"Forget it, you guys go back." Ying Zheng sighed and waved his hand.
Fusu looked up at his father sitting at the top of the table, feeling a little confused for a moment.
Are they really that bad?
Give up on them.
After they left Zhangtai Palace, Lu Zhi came over with a memorial in her arms.
A few new people were added to the cabinet this year, and the efficiency of handling memorials has increased.
Ying Zheng looked at Lu Zhi. Even though he was in Shangjun, he was well aware of this woman's abilities.
"Tell me about the situation in the cabinet." Ying Zheng said lightly as he opened a memorial.
"There are seven people in the cabinet, namely Lord Wei of Weixi, Lord Shengguan Pingsheng, Lord Yu of Yuanxi,..." Lu Zhi respectfully explained the situation of the cabinet.
"Your Highness said that although the cabinet has a prime minister, it is not held by one person. It is held in turn by the people in the cabinet. Today it is my turn, so I have come to deliver a memorial to Your Majesty." Lu Zhi said seriously.
"Take turns to be the Prime Minister? That's fine too. Qingrui pays more attention than I do." Ying Zheng seemed to be thinking about something.
The centralized system he proposed was not perfect. It was indeed very tiring for the emperor to handle all matters alone. The establishment of the cabinet was also to serve the emperor. Such an institution could also share some of the prime minister's power. At present, this institution is still very good.
Li Si and Feng Quji were both powerful and influential, so he was worried. The cabinet set up by his daughter could divide the power of the prime minister, which was also a good thing.
"Well, that's right. In these memorials, are there any major events in the past few days?" Ying Zheng was not in a hurry to open the memorials.
"Your Majesty, what has been happening these days is basically about officials being assigned to various places and the management of tribes like the Xiongnu," Lu Zhi said respectfully.
