The little boy's outstretched hand was gently slapped down by his father, preventing him from moving.
"Father …"
"Li 'er, don't cause trouble." Lord Qi was slightly embarrassed. "Your Highness, a child's words carry no harm. Please don't take offense."
Jing Rong stretched out his hand and pinched the child's chubby cheeks, a teasing smile on his face.
"This child is quite cute."
"Thank you for your praise, Your Highness."
"His temperament is just like Lord Qi, very stubborn. But it's good to be stubborn. Perhaps in the future, he will become a virtuous minister like you."
It was unknown whether it was a compliment or a criticism.
Lord Qi's heart was beating like a drum, but he forced a smile. "I hope that my son will continue to serve the imperial court when he grows up."
"Your son is very intelligent, he will definitely be able to."
The little boy didn't understand what Lord Qi said. He only stared at him with his round eyes, still panting with anger.
Jing Rong winked at him, deliberately teasing him.
They were like father and son!
Lord Qi saw that it was getting late and his son was back, so he bowed slightly. "Then I won't disturb Your Highness any further. This lowly official will take his leave."
He nodded.
Before Lord Qi left with the little boy in his arms, the little boy made a face at him. He pouted, pinched his nose, and pulled his ears with his little hands.
He looked like a naked little pig!
He was so cute!
Anyone who saw him would feel their heart melt!
Jing Rong thought to himself, 'I need to hurry up and give birth to one.'
With this thought in mind, he smiled wickedly.
Only then did he step into Fuyang Hall.
Inside the hall, after Wei Yi and Lord Qi finished discussing the Chamber of Commerce, they began to look through the memorials that had been sent in. It had only been a day, but the memorials had already piled up like a mountain.
He sat behind the table with a solemn expression. He picked up a brush and wrote the word 'criticism' on the memorials in front of him. Now, not only had he matured a lot, but his eyes also shone with wisdom. His whole person was full of vigor. He wore a yellow imperial robe, which made him look even more heroic. In the past six months, he had been diligent and diligent, handling the court affairs without the slightest carelessness. Moreover, he had Jing Rong's assistance.
He was like a butterfly that had broken out of its cocoon and was rejuvenated. From the beginning when he was at a loss when dealing with the affairs of the imperial court, to now, he was able to take charge of an area by himself. He had made great progress.
When he saw Jing Rong enter, he closed the memorial in his hands and glanced at the door.
He said, "I heard that Sir Qi's son went missing just now."
To him, how could the palace be shameful?
Therefore, this question became an interesting matter!
Jing Rong smiled. "That child ran to the Imperial Garden to play and was captured by me. Lord Qi has already brought him back to the residence. I have to say, that little fellow is quite adorable."
"Then I'll let Lord Qi send the child to your residence for a few days so that you can raise him?"
"Forget it! That kid doesn't like me. "
Haha!
Indeed, the little fellow really disliked him. Wei Yi slowly got up and walked towards Jing Rong. He said, "When Lord Qu of the Office of Transmission was demoted due to the incident with the Virtuous Prince, I was looking for a suitable candidate in the imperial court. However, you took a fancy to that Lord Qi and promoted him from the local yamen to the capital, giving him the position of the Office of Transmission.
This Lord Qi is indeed a good official. In the past six months, he has helped me a lot. You have a good eye for choosing people. " "This Qi Daren is a person who treats money and power as dirt. He is very filial to his clan and is reluctant to part with his loved ones. A few years ago, I passed through Nangu County and stayed in his county government office for a few days. At that time, his mother was ill and he stayed by her side day and night. Moreover, Nangu County
Moreover, the surnamed Bai of Nangu County said that he is a filial son and an honest and clean official. Because of this, I recommended him to be the Office of Transmission. The heavens have been kind to him. To have a son at such an old age is a fortunate thing. That's why they say that a good person will be rewarded. "
Wei Yi repeatedly nodded after listening to Jing Rong.
He approved of Jing Rong's words.
Jing Rong and Jing Rong sat down and sipped their tea.
In fact, Wei Yi didn't like to drink tea. He preferred to drink cold plain water. However, those little eunuchs always liked to give him tea. It was fine if he drank it once or twice. He also tried not to drink it, but in the end, he was too thirsty and drank it.
This drinking lasted for half a year. By now, he was already used to it.
"By the way, I heard that a lot of people came to the Chamber of Commerce this time. It's much more lively than in previous years." Wei Yi said.
"There are a lot of people, but the more people there are, the more danger there will be. However, the capital governor and the imperial censors have increased the number of guards. Commander Xiao has also sent people to patrol inside and outside the capital."
"That's good."
"The Chamber of Commerce is held once every three years. Every department is very cautious. Your Majesty doesn't need to worry."
Wei Yi heaved a sigh of relief and took a sip of tea. "I haven't left the palace for half a year. I don't know how things are outside the palace."
Jing Rong sighed.
"On the day of the Chamber of Commerce, I will accompany you out of the palace to take a look."
"Can I?" Jing Rong's eyes brightened.
"Of course you can. Wearing casual clothes is no problem."
"That's great." Wei Yi couldn't hide his joy. He suddenly asked, "By the way, how is Shu 'er? She hasn't been to the palace for a long time. "
Jing Rong said, "Recently, the Ministry of Justice has received many cases from various counties. She can't leave."
"Oh." Wei Yi nodded.
Then, he told Jing Rong about the contents of the memorials he had submitted today. It was nothing more than a flood, a drought, or corruption of local officials, and so on. Jing Rong also told Jing Rong how to solve each of these problems.
Drought! Draw water from nearby!
Flood and drainage!
Corrupt officials will be sent to investigate!
Each department will supervise and restrict each other.
Jing Rong felt very gratified after listening to Wei Yi's explanation.
"I told you that you would be a good emperor. You didn't disappoint me. Even if I am not by your side in the future, you will be able to handle matters independently. You will be able to make your own decisions in the court."
"In fact, this half a year is all thanks to you." Wei Yi said apologetically, "You and Shu 'er could have left the capital half a year ago. You could have gone anywhere you wanted to go, but because of me, you were delayed."
Jing Rong said, "You don't need to say that. As the saying goes, helping you is also helping the world!"
'Helping you is also helping the world!'
In fact, Jing Rong had said this many times. Wei Yi was the rebellious son of the Imperial Duke. He had never been involved in the matters of the court. In addition, he had been an idiot for the past twenty years. It was inevitable that his foundation would be unstable when he ascended the throne. If he wasn't there to support him, the court would be like a plate of loose sand. Fortunately, Wei Yi was ambitious and intelligent.
