At the beginning of spring, the Northern Desert sent envoys over.
Fang Jiayi, Jiang Huaiqing, He Chengyu, and the others who had performed well had all stayed in the capital. The official appointment had also been made, and Fang Jiayi had taken up a post in the Honglu Temple.
When the envoys of the Northern Desert saw Fang Jiayi and the other officials of Honglu Temple, they were stunned.
Shen Yu and Shang Junlin discussed this matter in the palace.
"The envoys of the Northern Desert have arrived in the capital, right?" Shen Yu handed Shang Junlin a cup of tea.
The new tea was served in the palace. The weather was getting warmer in spring. Shen Yu and Shang Junlin enjoyed the sunshine in the pavilion outside and tasted the new tea.
"They're here. They should have checked in at this time." Shang Junlin took a sip of the tea.
"The new emperor of the Northern Desert sent someone here to show his goodwill. It is said that there are also members of the royal family." Shen Yu took the tea prepared for himself. Before he got close, he could smell the faint fragrance of the tea.
"It's a pair of twins. They are not old. They said that they were sent to the Great Huan Kingdom for exchange and study. In fact, they are here as hostages. The new emperor of the Northern Desert doesn't have much affection for the royal family of the Northern Desert.
He is very tactful. "Along with the envoys came a letter of credence from the new emperor of the Northern Desert. The content of the letter of credence almost promised that the Northern Desert would bow down to the Great Huan Kingdom.
Shen Yu had read the content of the letter of credence. It was not difficult to see that the new emperor of the Northern Desert did not have much affection for the Northern Desert. He was closer to the Great Huan Kingdom than the Northern Desert. This was understandable. After all, half of the blood of the Great Huan Kingdom flowed in his body. Moreover, his experience since childhood had doomed him to hate the Northern Desert.
"It's a good thing for the Great Huan Kingdom that the Northern Desert has such an emperor."
The courtiers were also discussing this matter. They also knew the content of the letter of credence. Although they did not know the inside story, they felt that the attitude of the new emperor of the Northern Desert was very strange.
"Is the emperor of the Northern Desert plotting something? Everything in the letter of credence is biased towards the Great Huan Kingdom. Did he write this to lower our vigilance? "
"Anyway, be careful. Did His Majesty say what to do with the two members of the royal family?"
"Twins, but they are brother and sister. The Northern Desert's intention is that they admire the Great Huan Kingdom and want to learn more about the culture of the Great Huan Kingdom. In the end, they are the hostages sent by the Northern Desert. We have to ask His Majesty about the arrangements first."
Shen Yu was in the imperial study accompanying Shang Junlin to approve the memorials. After the authority was delegated to the cabinet, the number of memorials that Shang Junlin had to approve every day decreased by a lot. Recently, the ones that appeared the most were those that involved the Northern Desert.
Shang Junlin quietly shared the power with him. Shen Yu thought that the minister would make a fuss, but he didn't expect that it was calm for several days. Shen Yu suspected that Shang Junlin suppressed the news.
Only later did he find out that not many people were against it. Shang Junlin said that he would take care of this matter. He really didn't let this matter disturb Shen Yu's good mood.
Shen Yu flipped through the memorials and saw a minister's proposal on how to arrange the people from the Northern Desert. Shen Yu put it in front of Shang Junlin: "Does His Majesty have any plans?"
"Didn't you say that they are here to learn? Just send them to the academy. If they don't know much about the Great Huan Kingdom, they can go to the elementary school first."
The elementary school in the capital had already started to accept students. What everyone didn't expect was that in addition to their own children, many adults also signed up to send the two princes and princesses. It didn't seem out of place.
In the courier station, the envoy who had dealt with Fang Jiayi was telling the other envoys to be cautious in their words and actions in the capital of the Great Huan Kingdom. They shouldn't offend the officials of the Great Huan Kingdom, especially that Official Fang.
"Why?" Someone didn't understand.
"After all, he won't harm you. Official Fang was in Subei before. Do you understand now?"
Hearing this, the remaining people's expressions became sad. Official Fang of Subei had left a heavy shadow in the Northern Desert, so much so that everyone in the Northern Desert's officialdom knew him.
"Regarding what Official Fang said, we will be careful in our words and actions during this period. We won't do anything we shouldn't do."
"Yes, yes."
"We represent the face of the Northern Desert. We should pay attention to our words and actions so that no one can find fault with us."
They quickly reached an agreement.
The Northern Desert's envoys were too "obedient." The officials of the Great Huan Kingdom were still a little unaccustomed to it. The officials who had experienced the visit of the Northern Desert's envoys felt even more enlightened. At that time, the Northern Desert's people were all arrogant, unlike now, where they didn't dare to cause any trouble.
The official who came to the Northern Desert's envoys proposed His Majesty's suggestion to send the two princes and princesses from the Northern Desert to the elementary school. He thought that it would make the other party unhappy and be troubled, but he didn't expect the other party to be unexpectedly easy to talk to.
When he left, the official still felt that it was unreal.
The members of the Northern Desert's royal family who were sent to the Great Huan Kingdom were a pair of fifteen-year-old twins. They didn't have a good life in the Northern Desert, so they were thinner and smaller than their peers.
They didn't have the right to speak. They acted as mascots in the entire team of envoys and didn't have a strong sense of presence.
The news of the two was sent to the palace. Shen Yu said, "The new Emperor of the Northern Desert is quite interesting. He sent the people who may affect his throne in the future to the Great Huan Kingdom in advance. It not only shows his attitude to the Great Huan Kingdom, but also reduces the hidden dangers. It's killing two birds with one stone."
Shang Junlin said, "More than a year of internal strife caused the Northern Desert's royal family to wither. Those who had the power to compete for the throne died in the internal strife. The remaining ones are not a threat. Otherwise, the Northern Desert's people wouldn't worship a person who has half the blood of the Great Huan Kingdom in his body. The twins can survive because in the Northern Desert, twins are ominous."
Shen Yu asked, "Has Your Majesty seen the two of them?"
Shang Junlin said, "Not yet. A Yu, why do you ask?"
Shen Yu said, "I'm a little curious. I don't know what kind of people can survive in the evil circle."
Shang Junlin said, "In two days, the imperial court will hold a banquet. A Yu will be able to see them then."
Two days later, Shen Yu saw the twins.
They learned the basic court etiquette. When they saluted Shen Yu and Shang Junlin, they used the Great Huan Kingdom's etiquette. These two people were very good-looking. Although they were a little thin, they gave people a feeling of willows in the wind.
The envoys presented the gifts they brought from the Northern Desert. They were very generous. When they left, they would also take some things from the Great Huan Kingdom. This was the deal that the new Emperor of the Northern Desert had made when he borrowed the Northern Army.
As Shen Yu said before, the people of the Great Huan Kingdom who went to the Northern Desert would bring the seeds of the Great Huan Kingdom's culture to the Northern Desert. Under the subtle influence, the people of the Northern Desert would gradually lean towards the Great Huan Kingdom.
When they spoke the language of the Great Huan Kingdom, wrote the characters of the Great Huan Kingdom, and approved of the Great Huan Kingdom in their hearts, what was the difference between them and the people of the Great Huan Kingdom?
"Your Majesty, do you think that the new Emperor of the Northern Desert knows about our plan?"
"He knows." Shang Junlin held Shen Yu in his arms. "He wrote another letter to me, saying that he hoped to return to the Great Huan Kingdom as a Great Huan citizen in the future with his mother's remains."
Shen Yu asked, "How did his mother come to the Northern Desert?"
Shang Junlin said, "She was robbed from the Northern Desert. At that time, the people of the Northern Desert attacked the Northern Desert. They not only robbed the resources of the Northern Desert, but also many people of the Northern Desert. Most of them were women."
Shen Yu said, "With Your Majesty around, such things will never happen again in the future."
Shang Junlin lifted the chin of the person in his arms. "You trust me that much?"
"Your Majesty has already done it, haven't you?"
The Great Huan Kingdom was becoming more and more powerful. The attitude of the surrounding countries towards the Great Huan Kingdom was already different from before. They didn't dare to try to tear off a piece of meat from the Great Huan Kingdom like before, because as long as they made a move, what awaited them would be the Great Huan Kingdom's cavalry.
Not only did they not dare to make a move, but some small countries even took the initiative to ask for protection. They volunteered to become the Great Huan Kingdom's subordinate countries to avoid being bullied by other countries.
Shen Yu believed that the Great Huan Kingdom's territory would continue to expand under the leadership of Shang Junlin.
Before the arrival of summer, Shen Yu's body was completely healed. Imperial Physician Wu retired, and Imperial Physician Gu smoothly took over his position. At this time, no one dared to say a word.
"Your Majesty, I want to open a free clinic among the people to treat the poor people." After recovering from his illness, Shen Yu felt that he should do something.
Even in the capital, there were a lot of people who couldn't afford to be treated, not to mention other remote places. Shen Yu had been tortured by his illness for a long time. He knew how uncomfortable it was to be sick. After being reborn, he got rid of the illness that had troubled him for a long time. However, there were still many people in the world who didn't have the ability to treat their illness even though it wasn't serious.
"A Yu can do whatever he wants to do."
In the end, Shen Yu used his own money to open a free clinic in the Great Huan Kingdom. Those that were close to the capital were treated by the imperial physicians of the Imperial Hospital. For those that were far away, Shen Yu used his own money to invite the doctors from all over the country to spend two days each season to provide free clinic for the people.
During these two days, Shen Yu paid for the consultation and medicinal herbs.
Many poor people who were tortured by the illness were treated. They remembered Shen Yu in their hearts and spontaneously set up longevity plaques for Shen Yu in their homes. They prayed that the Heavens would bless the Empress to be healthy and live in harmony with His Majesty.
The scope of the examination that was originally only held in the Ministry of Works was expanded. Shang Junlin set up a new department in the imperial court, the Bureau of Natural Resources. It was independent of the imperial court and was only responsible for researching new things. People with skills were selected from all over the country to enter the Bureau of Natural Resources to display their strengths.
The existence of the Bureau of Natural Resources would allow the future Great Huan Kingdom to lead the world in terms of technology.
Everyone believed that under the governance of Shen Yu and Shang Junlin, Great Huan Kingdom would become better and better.
Shang Junlin also knew that all these changes were brought about by Shen Yu.
Shen Yu had brought a miracle to him and Great Huan Kingdom.
Knowing what Shang Junlin was thinking, Shen Yu hugged his neck and said, "Your Majesty, do you think that I'm so amazing?"
"A Yu has always been amazing." Shang Junlin pulled her into his arms.
"If it wasn't for Your Majesty's foresight and trust in me, I wouldn't be able to display even a little of my abilities. All of this is clearly due to Your Majesty's contributions. I'm just saying a lot of things, but it's Your Majesty who really put them into practice." Shen Yu said seriously.
After experiencing two lives, Shen Yu knew better than anyone how precious this unconditional trust was.
"I believe in A Yu, and A Yu also believes in me. I and A Yu should be together."
"Yes." Shen Yu leaned into the man's arms and nodded slowly. In this world, there was no one who understood him better than Shang Junlin, who could accommodate him and tolerate him more.
"It's so good to be with Your Majesty." Shen Yu murmured.
"Then A Yu must always be with me." Shang Junlin hugged the person in his arms even tighter.
"Good!"
Shen Yu raised her head and pecked Shang Junlin's lips. "A Lin will always belong to me, and I will always belong to A Lin."
