Chapter 444: Supervising the country, those who can work hard
Jun Lingyun looked at the seven-foot man who was about to cry, but remained unmoved and asked in a cold voice:
"No fault is merit? I don't believe in this."
The Minister of the Ministry of Finance was heartbroken. No matter how much he cried, the emperor could decide his life or death with just one sentence.
It's over, he's done, there's no chance of him having any future in this life.
But he didn't expect that Jun Lingyun's next words would give him a way to survive.
"As long as you don't enrich yourself, you are still a good official. When the time comes, you will take over the position of Minister of Household Affairs. Do you still have any objections?"
The heart of the Minister of the Ministry of Finance seemed to be being shaken up and down. He touched his head to the ground and thanked the emperor excitedly.
"I don't dare! Wei Chen, thank you Lord for your kindness. Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"
Just being demoted one level is infinitely better than being dismissed from office. How dare the Minister of Household Affairs have any opinions?
The emperor clearly wanted to use his brother-in-law, but he occupied the position and was in the way. It was a blessing to be able to keep Wu Shamao.
But then I thought about it, Chu Wenjin, a relative of the emperor, was responsible for it. As the Minister of Household Affairs, he should be able to retire and return to his hometown in peace and stability.
Thinking about it this way, it seems like a blessing in disguise.
Leave the mental matters to Chu Wenjin. He just needs to follow orders and run errands, and nothing big will go wrong.
I don't have to tuck my head in my belt every day, fearing that my life will be in danger if the accounts don't match up one day.
Judging from his colleagues in the past few days, Chu Wenjin is still a hands-off shopkeeper, so he will be freer.
The Minister of Household Affairs wiped his cold sweat and returned to his original position numbly.
The other courtiers also lowered their heads, glad that they were not in the same department as the Chu family and did not have to abdicate in favor of someone worthy of their posts.
After all the important things were discussed, Jun Lingyun stood up. Eunuch Fu sang with a wink:
"Retreat from the court——"
The courtiers breathed a sigh of relief. The new emperor was really oppressive. They felt that the black gauze hat on their heads might not be protected at any time.
They even forgot about what they had planned to report.
However, it is not important anymore. I am thankful that I was not named by the emperor today.
"Send a message to General Chu and Junior General Chu, asking them to come back and attend the wedding ceremony of the three newlyweds."
Jun Lingyun was about to walk out of the hall when he suddenly turned around and gave an order.
The courtiers who had already straightened up quickly bowed down again.
After hearing clearly that this order had nothing to do with him, he let out a sigh of relief.
This time, the courtiers did not dare to stand up until Jun Lingyun's figure was completely invisible.
The emperor only said that the two Chu generals would come back to attend the wedding ceremony, but he did not say whether he wanted to go back to the north again.
The decision of the Northern Barbarians was still unclear. The courtiers turned their attention to Jun Zifeng, the emperor's personal supervisor.
Jun Zifeng sighed in his heart, and this time he took the initiative to speak without waiting for the courtiers to ask questions.
"My lords, as long as you do your part and be well prepared, no matter when the emperor wants to deal with the Northern Barbarians, we will be able to deal with it with ease."
Jun Zifeng left these words and took the lead in retreating. It's just that although he said these words, he seemed not to say them.
Is it because they don’t want to have enough food and grass at all times? Is it because they don’t want to prepare winter clothes, quilts, swords, guns, swords and halberds for the soldiers? Is it because they don’t want that the national treasury is full?
The courtiers have a headache. Alas, the superiors are really all the same, and they can't write two words of king in one stroke.
Jun Lingyun came down from the morning court and went straight to the palace, but was stopped by Jun Zifeng.
"Cousin."
Jun Lingyun raised his eyebrows. As long as Jun Zifeng calls his cousin, he must be asking for something.
"What's the matter?"
Jun Zifeng didn't care about his attitude and continued to speak.
"Cousin, do you still remember what you promised me before going to Xizhao?"
"Don't remember."
Jun Lingyun pretended to be stupid, but Jun Zifeng was not annoyed and reminded:
"My cousin said that when you come back from Xizhao, you will grant me leave. Do you remember it?"
Jun Lingyun asked seriously:
"I remember that at that time, you said you were feeling unwell and wanted to take sick leave. Now, your illness is not cured yet?"
Jun Zifeng forced out a smile.
"It's not good."
Jun Lingyun was thoughtful.
"Well, it seems that it will take a few months to cultivate yourself."
Jun Zifeng was about to thank him when he heard the second half of Jun Lingyun's words.
"Here, let's go to the Ningyuan Marquis Mansion to send a message. They say that Jun Zifeng, Prince Hao's son, is ill and needs to rest. He cannot hold a wedding ceremony with Miss Su."
Jun Zifeng narrowed his eyes and gritted his teeth:
"After the emperor said this, I suddenly felt that I was full of energy and lively, as if I was no longer sick!"
Jun Lingyun was very pleased and waved her hand, asking the little eunuch who came forward to obey the order to retreat.
"That's good, I'm very relieved! The Lord Supervisor also knows that I will be very busy during these days, so the Lord Supervisor will work hard. Those who can do more work."
Jun Lingyun turned around and walked away.
Jun Zifeng clenched his fists on the spot and took a few deep breaths to prevent himself from dying. He still had to save a breath to review the memorial!
Jun Lingyun approached the sleeping hall lightly.
After realizing that Chu Yunxi was already awake, he let go, hugged her waist from behind, and gently stroked her belly.
"It seems a bit bigger."
"Really?"
Chu Yunxi looked sideways at him, then lowered her head to look at her belly. It seemed that it was really a little bigger.
Jun Lingyun took one look at her clothes and frowned slightly.
"Xi'er can no longer wear waist-cinching dresses. Come, tell the manager of the Clothing Bureau to come and make some more loose-fitting styles for the queen."
"Yes, Your Majesty." The palace attendant took the order and went to deliver the message.
Xiaolian watched beautifully from the side, happy for Chu Yunxi.
"The Emperor is so considerate to the Queen."
Chu Yunxi smiled happily, but remembered that she had not seen her mother and sister since she returned to Beijing. Her mother must be very happy to know that she is pregnant.
"Ling Yun, I want to go back to the palace and go back to my hometown."
Jun Lingyun then issued another order.
"Come, go to General Chu's Mansion and invite my mother-in-law and sister-in-law to come into the palace to accompany the queen."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Chu Yunxi shook his head helplessly.
"It's not like my belly is so big that I can't walk. Why should I? My sister is still young."
Jun Lingyun added another sentence:
"Use the Queen's carriage to invite you. Let the nanny come with you."
After he finished his instructions, he looked at Chu Yunxi with a smile.
"Madam, please be careful and sail the boat for thousands of years. When you give birth to your child safely, my husband will accompany you wherever you want to go."
Chu Yunxi also touched her belly. If Jun Lingyun hadn't been so cautious every day, she might not have gotten used to it. She was pregnant and about to become a mother.
The feeling of giving birth to a brand new life from scratch is really amazing.
It actually gave her a greater sense of accomplishment than anything she had ever done before.
Without letting her wait too long, Mrs. Chu brought Xiao Wenyin into the palace.
Jun Lingyun took the initiative to give up the space to mother and daughter, and went to the study to handle official business.
"Mother."
Chu Yunxi smiled shyly and held Mrs. Chu's hand. Just looking at her mother's expression, you could tell how happy she was.
