With the arrival of Lu Shiming and his wife, Ming Xi and Ming Yu now had an even better reason to leave the palace. These two children were both intelligent and it was easy to see who loved them the most. Every day, they would clamor to go find their maternal grandmother and uncle. Ye Chunnan simply took them home to live. She even said that the palace had been busy recently and that they could help look after the children.
When the two little guys arrived at Ye's house, they played like clay figurines every day. However, Pei Shi blindly indulged them, completely forgetting that she had once said that girls should be pampered at home and not run wild outside. She was the one who indulged Ming Yu the most.
Ye Zhen was so busy these two days that she could not even see Mo Rongzhan at night, let alone go out of the palace to see the two children.
"Your Highness, the Emperor is here." Eunuch Fu came in and reported in a low voice.
Because a lot of palace servants had run away, Ye Zhen did not have a capable chief steward around her. Mo Rongzhan asked Eunuch Fu to come to her first and wait for Lu He of Yong Shou Palace to come back to Mo Rongzhan.
Ye Zhen was reading the memorials sent today and felt dizzy. When she heard Mo Rongzhan's arrival, she immediately dropped the memorials in her hand and went straight to the door to wait for him.
"What's the matter?" Mo Rongzhan saw that she took the initiative to wait for him at the door with a look of seeking comfort. He knew that she must want to act coquettishly with him.
"Tired." Ye Zhen threw herself into Mo Rongzhan's arms. "There are a lot of things to deal with every day. I'm tired."
Mo Rongzhan picked her up and looked down at her pouting mouth as if she was really wronged. He chuckled. "What's the problem?"
Ye Zhen wrapped her arms around his neck and whispered, "It turns out that Dongqing's official rank system is a mess. There are three people doing the same thing, and they are officials with different titles. This is simply a waste of the national treasury's silver. Now that we have to rearrange it, the original ministers have begun to have opinions. They have been arguing all morning, and now my ears are buzzing." "What?
Rearranging the official ranks was indeed a very troublesome matter. Mo Rongzhan lovingly kissed her cheek and carried her to sit behind the desk, letting her continue to lean against his chest. "If you want to rearrange the official ranks, it will definitely harm the interests of some people. They naturally don't want you to change it, so it's normal for them to quarrel."
"If it doesn't change, this country will still be the mess of Li Hang." Ye Zhen frowned.
"Without destruction, there can be no construction. You must change." Mo Rongzhan glanced at the memorials on the table and explained to Ye Zhen in a low voice, "There are three people doing the same thing. Two of them must be just idlers. The treasury's silver cannot support so many idlers. Over time, the whole court will be corrupted. At that time, if you want to catch corrupt officials, you will not be able to catch them."
Ye Rou nodded. "I understand, but what should I do? If the people below don't cooperate, can I forcibly suppress them? "
"Do you know who the people who oppose it are?" Mo Rongzhan asked with a smile. "Those who oppose it must be because your change will harm their interests. Capable people should be rewarded, not let those who are just idlers take the same silver as them. The matter of arranging the official ranks is not something that can be solved in a day or two. You only need to confirm with the ministers of the six cabinet departments and arrange the official ranks directly. When the time comes, you can directly issue an edict to implement it. There is no need to listen to the opinions of so many people. The more you listen, the more difficult it will be to do many things."
"What you said seems to make sense." Ye Rou looked at Mo Rongzhan with a smile and suddenly felt that all the strength in her body had returned. "I will not argue with them tomorrow. When the time comes, I will directly issue an edict."
Mo Rongzhan rubbed her hair. "That's the truth."
"You are amazing." Ye Zhen smiled and kissed the corner of his mouth. "I don't understand anything at all. Today, I was confused by them talking to each other."
"In the future, when they quarrel in the court, don't say a word. Just sit there with a sullen face. Naturally, they will not dare to quarrel. Or, after the court is dismissed, let them quarrel outside. The scorching sun in the sky or the cold wind and heavy snow, as long as they experience it once, they will not dare to quarrel."
Ye Zhen looked at Mo Rongzhan in amazement. "You … really have all kinds of experience."
He had been the emperor for several years. If he didn't have this kind of means, he would be led by the ministers.
"The founding ceremony will be held in two days. Are you ready?" Mo Rongzhan was distressed by her tiredness today, but as a Heavenly Concubine, she had to experience these things before she could manage a country. These days, he also observed that her majesty in the army was higher than anyone else's. Even if she could not lead the troops to war or command them, she was the only Heavenly Concubine that the soldiers were loyal to. Except for her, it was estimated that no one could make the 100,000 elite soldiers do anything.
It was not wrong for Shui Yichen to want her to be the Heavenly Concubine. No matter how much he loved her, he could only support and help her silently behind her back.
"I just tried on the clothes to wear that day. They are almost ready." Ye Zhen held his hand nervously. "Will you be by my side then?"
"Of course, I will be by your side." Mo Rongzhan said with a smile, bowed his head and kissed her lips. "No matter what happens in the future, I will be by your side."
Ye Zhen's heart moved. Knowing that he still cared about her absence for the past two years, she took the initiative to climb his shoulder and passionately responded to his kiss.
Hong Ying and Eunuch Fu, who were at the door, bowed their heads and retreated.
Mo Rongzhan enjoyed her initiative. As she moved in his arms, he couldn't help but hold her waist with his hands and let her sit on him. "Have you had your period?"
Because of her period, he had not been close to her for several days.
"She left yesterday." Ye Zhen rubbed against him a few times, feeling that a certain part of him became hotter because of her words. She giggled in his ear. "Not here, it's the imperial study."
"Didn't you do it in the imperial study before?" Mo Rongzhan's hand had already untied her skirt, and the evil fire that had been suppressed for several days was ready to burst.
Ye Zhen remembered that when she was in Jin Kingdom, she once sent him snacks. It seemed that it was in the imperial study … She grabbed his hand. "No, not here."
How could Mo Rongzhan listen to her? He had already entered the room with familiarity. After a while, Ye Zhen fell into his arms like water. Apart from moving up and down with his movements, she couldn't say a word of resistance at all.
"Ah Zhan …" After one time, Ye Zhen found that he still wanted more. She hurriedly whimpered and begged him. "I'm not feeling well."
"There is a soft couch over there," Mo Rongzhan said hoarsely, carrying her to the soft couch.
Before they could have their fill, they heard Hong Ying's voice coming from outside. "Your Highness, the Emperor of Qi requests an audience."
