emperor cold concubine

Chapter 638
This question is really good, why does the imperial study smell like chicken soup?Because the empress sympathized with the prime minister's hard work, she specially ordered someone to bring it, and the chicken soup was placed on the rosewood table behind him.

Yixiu turned his head to look, such a big bowl, the empress is really caring enough.

Xie Changting finished approving the last notebook in his hand, and stood up slowly, "Come and help me put these memorials into categories, put all the notebooks for the emperor to choose a concubine in one place, and throw away the other nonsense ones directly, and filter them out. For the important documents that need to be stamped with jade seals, the less important ones should be placed in one place first, and I will read them when I have free time."

Yixiu was startled, he never thought that until now, there would still be people who would blatantly give the emperor the choice of concubine. Did they not take the empress's wishes seriously, or did they think she was just joking?

Oh no, it's the imperial decree, not the queen's decree, to abolish the system of beautiful women. Are these officials who have submitted papers lacking in thinking?
Looking at the two rows of imperial cases piled up high and the memorials that were thrown in a mess on the ground and ignored, Yixiu twitched his mouth, but said in a somewhat disapproving tone: "Sorting out the notebooks should be the work of the inner eunuchs." Well, why should I do it?"

Xie Changting glanced at him, "Your duty is to assist the emperor in handling government affairs. Since Xie is acting as an agent of the government, you naturally need to assist Xie. Why, what do you have to say?"

As soon as the words fell, the people had already crossed the messy floor, walked over to pick up the chicken soup, and drank it slowly with a spoon, completely ignoring the expression on Yi Xiu's face.

The corner of Yixiu's mouth twitched a few times, knowing that his arms could not twist his thighs, he squatted down resignedly, first picked up all the folders that had been thrown on the ground and piled them in the corner, and then flipped through the pages of the imperial case that had not yet been accepted. Reviewed memorials.

"Although the officials of the imperial court have dealt with a large number of corrupt officials who used to depend on Murong's family for survival, it seems that there are still some officials who, although they have not formed a party, are not doing their job properly. I feel that when you free your hand, you can deal with this batch of moths first."

The chicken soup has a strong flavor, and the Yushanfang cooks it according to individual tastes to remove the greasiness, and add some ingredients that are harmless to the body to enhance the taste.

Xie Changting was quite satisfied with the drink, and said lightly to Yixiu: "Have you had your lunch? Would you like some?"

"No need." Yi Xiuxiu stared at a memorial in a daze, and replied casually, "I ate a lot at noon, and I haven't digested it yet."

Xie Changting nodded, put down the bowl, wiped the corners of his mouth with a handkerchief, and said calmly, "It's a happy thing to still have time to eat."

Yixiu froze for a moment, "You didn't eat lunch?"

"No, and I don't feel hungry." Xie Changting said, "There are too many things to do. Just these excerpts, without eating, drinking or sleeping, I can't finish reading them for half a month."

Upon hearing this, Yixiu glanced at him silently, with infinite sympathy hidden in his eyes.

God is sorry, he seldom eats a formal full meal these days, and travels between the six yamen all day long.

In the autumn harvest season, taxes from all over the country are turned over to the treasury. Where the harvest is good, the tax is normal, and where the harvest is not good, the tax must be reduced or waived. To cover ten years of national treasury income, plus other odds and ends... These days, the household department is very busy.

At the end of the war, the soldiers and horses from all over the world were brought into one family, military officers were transferred, food and grass were dispatched, and the number of troops was reduced after the war... The officials of the Ministry of Punishment were also too busy to touch the ground.

Not to mention the Ministry of Officials, officials from all over the country and substitutes for various positions, although some vacancies that are not very important have been removed, there are still a large number of vacant positions that need to be arranged.

Just these three parts are enough to make Yixiu dizzy and dizzy.

To be honest, coming to the Imperial Study Room to sort out the memorials at this moment, for him, it is a time to rest. Anyway, it is just sorting and screening, and he doesn't need to review it, so it can be done soon.

Turning his head, Yixiu tentatively said: "If you complain a few words now, you won't be angry, and you won't report to the master, right?"

Xie Changting raised his eyebrows, "It depends on the severity of the plot."

"I think the master and the empress are too cunning!" Taking a deep breath, Yixiu, who has not been exhausted these days, really feels like crying, "They are hiding in the deep palace and are happy and carefree. Why don't you listen to things outside the window, and only care about you and me, but why do you leave all the important affairs of the country to us? Half of this is the responsibility of His Majesty the Emperor..."

As she spoke, her eyes were turning red.

Xie Changting stared at him for a long time, and after a while, the corners of his mouth raised an arc that seemed like nothing, "Why? This question is very good, because the empress is pregnant with a dragon fetus, and your belly No."

The corner of Yixiu's mouth twitched, if he could conceive a dragon fetus in his stomach, wouldn't the yin and yang cycle between heaven and earth be messed up?

However, "The empress is pregnant with a dragon fetus, what does it have to do with the emperor's handling of government affairs?"

It's not the empress who is in charge of government affairs...

Xie Changting said indifferently: "A woman who is pregnant with a dragon fetus is delicate and sentimental, and needs someone to be by her side at all times—of course, this person by her side cannot be someone else, it must be her beloved husband, so... "

Who doesn't understand what the next unfinished words mean?
Three black lines brushed down on Yixiu's forehead.

Sentimental, are you talking about Su Mo?
Why does it feel weirder the more you listen to it?
Therefore, Su Mo, who was pregnant, was delicate and needed someone to accompany her. As for Yixiu, who was not pregnant with a dragon fetus, he deserved to be so busy that he died.

Sighing lightly, he interrupted the selection of memorials, but he heard Xie Changting's voice calmly said: "Yixiu, the master has devoted 11 years to planning this world, and the ultimate goal is to reduce the casualties of soldiers and horses, and he also wants to bring war to all countries. The damage to the people was minimized. If not, with his ability, it would not have taken 11 years. However, although the final goal has been achieved, you should know that the master is not a god after all, and his energy is limited , the exhaustion of energy and physical strength, the damage to the body is unimaginable-so, you should understand that even if it is not because of the empress, the master needs to rest now-at least three years."

Yixiu lowered his eyes when he heard the words, and after a long silence, he said: "This is the real reason why you are willing to act as an agent of the government."

This sentence is not a question, but a firm tone.

"The master's country is still the master's." Xie Changting did not deny it, and the indifferent tone implied the persistence and firmness that has remained unchanged for thousands of years, "No one in the world can replace this country."
