Chapter 594.2: The Empress Governs the Country III
The Empress Governs the Country III (2)
Jing Wan sat in the main seat, listening to them have the remaining matters for the most part confird. It was rely sending troops to a small country, not that big of a deal, needless to discuss over and over again, being solemn and even more solemn.
Jing Wan imdiately just ordered soone to draft an imperial decree on the spot, and calmly used the emperor’s jade seal.
All the way until this mont did the court officials finally realize, so things already can’t be changed.
When He Shi Hai received the imperial decree, he naturally was happy. That expression really was like a young child getting what he wanted, his mouth widely grinning. No matter how one looked at it, he all appeared quite unreliable, making his old man and the others just want to beat him. However, even if wanting to beat him, still need to wait until after returning ho and closing the doors.
In reality, the people of the He family wasn’t that worried about his little life, instead worrying about him being overly excited and accidentally causing a great massacre to play out in Zhang. That’s why, they still needed to send soone to go with him. He Zhen Wei, after pondering back and forth, and discussing with his family, ultimately entered the palace to request an audience, hoping to have his eldest son sent out too. For better or worse, that was He Shi Hai’s older brother. When necessary, his words will ultimately be a bit more useful than others’. Moreover, He Zhen Wei believed that his eldest son was steady, and won’t produce dissatisfaction towards his own younger brother for being able to lead troops at less than twenty years old. Only when they are united from top to bottom can they better serve the country.
Because Li Hong Yuan highly valued He Shi Hai, towards the He family, Jing Wan actually has already studied in detail before. As such, even if never having t the person, Jing Wan still roughly knew what kind of temperant that He family eldest young master had. Thus, she didn’t contemplate, directly agreeing.
Of course, in regards to this matter, Jing Wan also inquired Li Hong Yuan afterwards, mainly for the sake of confirming whether or not her decision was correct.
Li Hong Yuan actually gave his approval.
In reality, He Shi Hai right now still wasn’t fully trained, so having soone at his side holding down the situation was also good. By having a gradual and steady progress, he can better shoulder the heavy responsibility in the future.
A few days later, Li Hong Yuan finally appeared in court again, his spirit clearly appearing very good, not the least bit like he was sick. Alright, actually, everyone all knew, the so called ‘being unwell’ was just an excuse. They didn’t even hear about a single imperial physician entering the palace——–including Gong Jiu who has officially entered the Imperial Physicians Court. However, this kind of thing, it wasn’t necessary to bring onto the surface. He was the emperor, and moreover, the matter concerned his own body, so naturally everything was just whatever he says it is. Moreover, as long as he appears, it was enough. If he were to just ‘quit his job’ again because of one line, they will really cry.
The empress still appeared in the imperial study along with him, but they’ve already learned to be used to it.
The next day, assembling morning court, the civil and military officials all quietly stood there. Afterwards, when hearing ‘his Majesty and her Highness have arrived———-‘, a portion of them, their expression nearly cracked, while another portion appeared sowhat at a loss, for a ti suspecting whether or not they’d heard wrong. The forr clearly were just those that had the qualifications to enter the imperial study a few days ago, and the latter were just those that were completely unaware of the previous matter. During that ti, Li Hong Yuan had stopped morning court twice. They’d really thought that Li Hong Yuan’s body was unwell. However, in any case, the governntal affairs had the high ministers handling for the ti being, so they weren’t that worried, because everything was operating normally, not seeing any problems appear.
Li Hong Yuan, holding Jing Wan’s hand, sat onto the dragon throne. Even with two people sitting, it was still sufficiently wide.
In Jing Wan’s understanding, the dragon throne was just very wide to begin with, so she didn’t think anything of it. Just, for the court officials that lifted their heads, their expression was sowhat hard to describe, seemingly finally understanding why the newly made dragon throne beca wider. Looking at it now, it was perfectly suited for two people to sit. In other words, prior to ascending the throne, his Majesty had already ‘plotted’? To have already reached this level, what should they say, and what can they say?
Compared to Jing Wan’s proper and upright posture, Li Hong Yuan just appeared much more casual, making certain officials once again feel that the empress really appeared more like a ruler than the emperor. Just thinking about it made them can’t help but want to cover their face, sorrowfully muttering to themselves inside, they genuinely feel embarrassed for this kind of emperor. Unfortunately, as the main target, never mind feeling ashad, he was more calm than anyone.
“What, you all beca mute again? In that case, this emperor should consider whether or not it’s ti to switch out the court officials. Seeing this listless and heavy face of yours all day, even this emperor feels one has aged by ten years.” Li Hong Yuan was expressionless, directly mocking.
Jing Wan saw the court officials’ expression that was about to crack, clearly enduring very painfully. She then glanced at the person next to her, silently acknowledging, you all really have it rough. However, for the high ministers standing near the front, this while, they’ve already co to their senses. If they don’t stand out and say sothing about the empress appearing in court, then the officials below them, when unsure of the situation, naturally won’t dare to stand out either.
TN: All
Afterwards, the newly appointed Head Minister of Rites stood out, “This subject has a report to submit……….”
It was related to the imperial exam. The original ti for the imperial exam should be at the end of the third month. This ti, because of Li Hong Yuan ascending the throne, a special imperial exam will be held, and because the ti was relatively close, the original imperial exam was pushed back to the end of the fourth month, which was also very soon. The imperial exam was originally under the Ministry of Appointnts’ jurisdiction, but now it was divided out to the Ministry of Rites, invisibly having the Ministry of Rites’ power enlarged. This new Head Minister of Rites naturally just attached a lot of importance to it, cannot let any mishap appear. Even though he wanted to take on everything himself, he still didn’t dare to gamble. That’s why, on the matter of the examiners, he submitted a morandum to inquire Li Hong Yuan.
“Just handle like how it’s usually handled in the past. This kind of thing, still need this emperor to look over? If this emperor handles everything, then what use is there having you all?”
With just a line in disagreent, he just indiscriminately attacked.
Certain people very much wanted to let Yuan Qi Emperor pat his chest, letting him ask himself, saying words like this, did your conscience not hurt? Setting aside the great majority of the matters already being handled by the inner cabinet and six ministries, just that period of ti earlier, first it was dropping your work for five days, and afterwards, everything was all handled by the empress. What do you an you handling everything, you’re just a decoration!
Unfortunately, these words all can’t be said out loud.
This kind of situation, Jing Wan also wanted to complain inside. That’s why, she felt that she more or less should be able to understand what the court officials were thinking. If it continues on like this, with these people being awfully stifled inside, perhaps they will just evolve into a master of roasting. Just think about it, each and every one was all serious looking on the outside, yet on the inside, it was a completely different matter. That image……….alright, it was still a serious look.
Li Hong Yuan once again quite irresponsibly had the matter thrown back.
Next, it was just He Shi Hai leading troops out to battle, while the special imperial exam smoothly carried out.
In the past life, Li Hong Yuan didn’t carry out this additional imperial exam. That’s why, he was unclear of the final outco, so during the final court exam at the end, he also beca serious, seeing whether or not there were candidates that pleased him. The more talented people there were, the more carefree he can be.
