Chapter 79 The Way of Governing the Country (2)
"The Taifu is a famous master of the great scholars and scholars today. We will teach you all the construction college and recruiting teachers." I hurriedly shirked the responsibility of this matter. If I also participated in the preparation work, wouldn't such tedious work make me exhausted?
The Grand Tutor Qin seemed to have known that I had this intention for a long time, so he did not refuse, and just said, "The emperor can ask the old minister to do it. However, the old minister begged the emperor to issue an order for the Hanlin Academy to strongly assist the old minister."
"This is what it should be. There is no one in the hands of the Taifu. If you have a good plan, you cannot use it." I nodded slightly: "Then let it be. From today on, the Hanlin Academy will be handed over to the Taifu for management. If you like, you can do whatever you like."
"Old minister thanks the emperor for his trust." After giving the gift, Grand Tutor Qin quickly retreated aside.
"Liu Zhengming." I called again.
"I'm here." Liu Zhenming stood up with a serious look on his face. Liu Zhenming has this advantage. Although he is usually a joke, he will work harder than anyone else when he encounters serious things. He has been working under me for a year, especially hard work, and has lost a lot of weight.
"Agricultural development is the main task of your household registration department." I asked: "How are the new rice seeds and equipment production?"
"If you go back to the emperor, a lot of new rice seeds have been left. It is estimated that they can be used for farmland near Jingji in the beginning of spring. If you interplant it like this, it will be supplied to the whole country in about three years. As for the equipment, because the Ministry of Works is working hard to make military weapons, there are not many agricultural tools produced now, and I am afraid that it will not be able to expand the area." Liu Zhenming said again: "The emperor, and that Lord Tao Ziying and Tao have been asking for leave for several months but have not returned. Do you go to find him? After all, he will still be in charge of the spring plow next year."
"No need, you can arrange this matter yourself. Ziying's fake is my approval." Then I said seriously: "Liu Aiqing, this matter is related to the life and death of the people in the world. You must be careful of me."
"I will definitely not disappoint the emperor." Liu Zhenming nodded heavily.
I felt relieved and I was quite relieved by Liu Zhenming's promise. The Ministry of Revenue is the most complicated one among the six departments, but he managed it in an orderly manner and never required me to do anything more.
Immediately, I glanced at the ministers again and said slowly: "My ministers, I have something to announce. From tomorrow on, all officials under the cabinet will be moved to the side of the Nanshu Room to work. After the court is dispersed, go to the chief supervisor Mu Fengchun, who will arrange everything for you."
The ministers couldn't help but look at each other, wondering what my move was intended. However, a group of guys in the former cabinet were all overjoyed and working around me, which means they belonged to the close ministers, and the chances of becoming celebrities have also increased greatly.
After the processing, I immediately looked at Xiaoduozi. Xiaoduozi followed me and said naturally with a look of his eyes, and said loudly: "If you have something to report, you will leave the court without any trouble."
The ministers knew that I wanted to retire from the court, so they didn't say some trivial matters and just knelt down.
I waved my sleeves, and Xiao Duozi quickly approached me and held me.
After leaving Zhonghe Hall, Xiao Duozi asked me: "Your Majesty, you're leaving the court earlier. Do you want to go somewhere?"
"Set to Cining Palace." I said lightly.
"The emperor sets up for the Cining Palace." Xiao Duozi shouted and asked Long to come over.
After going to Cining Palace, the Empress Dowager said he would wait for me in the Xihunting Pavilion. As soon as I entered, the Empress Dowager sent all the servants out, leaned obediently in my arms, and said softly: "Your Majesty, it's not yet noon. Why did you come so early today? It seems that something must be happening."
The Queen Mother's fragrance scent hit my nose, making me shake my heart and restless, but I said softly: "Wanwen, can't I come to see you? These speeches have made you suffer. I have to be busy with the charity club outside, and I have to care about the two mothers everywhere."
The Queen Mother could not withstand such explicit teasing from me. She couldn't even speak with a soft body. She would only keep breathing in my ears and murmur: "Master, let me serve you."
...
After a long time, the two of them had a warm heart for a while and then sorted it out. Although the empress dowager could cover up the sky with one hand, it would not be an interesting thing if she was suspected.
"Your Majesty, if there is nothing to do in the afternoon, I will eat like this at Ai's house?" The queen mother looked at me with ambiguous eyes and said.
"By the way, Wanwen." I frowned and said, "Your new eunuch, is Xiao Xiuzi or something?"
"Little Xiuzi?" The Queen Mother looked at me in confusion and said in surprise: "Little Xiuzi is indeed beautiful and looks better than girls. But isn't the emperor only interested in women?"
I was so dizzy that she thought of somewhere. She had to explain awkwardly: "That's Princess Xiuli, when did you transfer her here?"
"I'm telling me, why did the emperor suddenly change his taste?" The empress dowager gave me a faint look and said with a smile: "So that little Xiuzi is the rumored Princess Xiuli? Your Majesty, you are really amazing. Everyone thinks that Princess Xiuli is in the hands of the Japanese pirates. How could they know that she had been hidden in the golden house by the emperor and kept in the harem. Even the mother of Ai's family was kept in the dark."
"Wanwen is joking." I said lightly: "It's just that Princess Xiuli is in my palace. The King of Goryeo has also known about it. I have never had any news about Xiuli before, but I have never promoted the search for it on a large scale, just because I am afraid that if the Goryeo Kingdom learns that Xiuli is missing, I will take off my anger on Dawu. Although Dawu is several times stronger than Goryeo, now, the Eastern Turks are bound by the north, the Western Regions, and the Western Regions, and the Eastern Wa Kingdom are in trouble. If Goryeo is worried and releases the 100,000 Turkic wolf soldiers hanging alone overseas back to the grassland, Dawu will be in danger."
After hearing my explanation, the Empress Dowager realized that this matter was really important. Now that Dawu is attacked from all sides, if the ally of Goryeo rebelled, even if he could forcibly win the end, the losses he suffered would be immeasurable.
"A few months ago, when the palace was in chaos, the palace was in chaos. Xiao Xiuzi ran to the vicinity of Cining Palace for refuge. It was at that time that the Ai family found her. I saw that she was beautiful and asked her which room she was from. She said that she was a little eunuch who was doing odd jobs in the imperial kitchen. She was jealous of the imperial kitchen and said that she wanted to secretly kill her. I asked who she would not say... After that, the Ai family was soft-hearted and took her in. At that time, I thought that she was just a little eunuch who was doing odd jobs in the imperial kitchen, so she didn't tell Mu Fengchun." The empress dowager patted her chest and said fearfully, "If she didn't want to come back while the chaos was in chaos, it would be a big trouble."
"Wanwen, ask her in." I also sat down with peace of mind and said, "I have something to ask her."
The queen mother nodded, went out to call a little palace maid, and called Princess Xiuli in.
As soon as Xiuli came in, she knelt in front of me and said, "Xiuli would like to pay tribute to the emperor and the empress dowager."
"Get up, get up." The Empress Dowager helped up the eunuch dressed in a kind face and said softly: "Girl, these speeches have made you suffer. Don't blame the Ai family for telling you, you are really good. If you tell your true identity to the Ai family, how can the Ai family let you do the job of serving people?"
"The Empress Dowager is so kind." Xiuli said softly: "Xiuli was married to Dawu. As the daughter-in-law of Dawu, it is also worth serving the Empress Dowager. However, before Xiuli came, she never thought that the Empress Dowager would be so young."
"Look, look." The Queen Mother stroked her forehead and chuckled, "This daughter is so good at speaking. The Emperor can marry you as a concubine. It is really a blessing he has cultivated in his three lives." As he said that, he turned his head and blamed me slightly, "Look at your child, you have secretly taken Princess Xiuli over, and he would not tell the Ai family."
"Yes, the mother taught her a lesson right. This is all the wrong thing for the son emperor." I lowered my head and looked at Xiuli secretly. Xiuli also looked at me and hurriedly shrank her head. She still remembered the days in the dungeon, so she naturally had some fear of me.
"Child, don't be afraid." The Empress Dowager gently stroked her head and said softly: "In the future, if the Emperor dares to bully you, he will come to Ai's house to complain."
"Empress Dowager, the emperor did not bully Xiuli." Princess Xiuli said softly: "It's just Xiuli misses her a little homesick."
"Yes, I'll really think about it. It's been almost a year since this time." The Empress Dowager sighed: "But now the world is in chaos. When the day is more peaceful, let the emperor accompany you back to Goryeo to visit your relatives. Otherwise, if you really miss your father, write him a letter and report your safety."
"Thank you for your concern." Princess Xiuli said softly: "Xiuli will definitely make your father feel at ease."
"This daughter is so exquisite and transparent, and it can be understood at a glance." The Empress Dowager was stunned, then smiled and pulled her arm: "Come on, Yuzhifang has just sent a few sets of clothes to the Ai family, but the Ai family is not willing to pass on it yet. Now it happens that our mothers are about the same figure. If you don't have the right clothes now, just pick two to wear."
"Thank you for your kindness." Princess Xiuli did not refuse.
"Your Majesty, it's getting late. Just go back for a meal." The Queen Mother said, and gave me a secret wink.
I know that the Queen Mother wants to help me win over Xiuli and stabilize the relationship with Goryeo for a certain period of time. Indeed, the Goryeo area must not be confused before shocking the Western Regions, otherwise my overall plan will be in chaos. As a woman and in the royal family, the Queen Mother has many natural means to win over the hearts of the people. In addition, both sides are women, so it is naturally more convenient than me to insert it into it.
Anyway, I was idle. I asked Xiao Duozi to ask him to prepare for me, so I took the time to take a walk around Mochou Village.
