Chapter 139 Government Affairs
Dajing Kyushu, the highest-ranking governor of each prefecture is Zhizhou, and the official system is from the second rank.Under it, there are chief envoys and inspectors, who are in charge of money, food and criminal names, which are equivalent to the second and third in command of each state.

Ye Qinghuai's order was very strange. She didn't ask Zhizhou to come to the capital to report on her work, but asked the chief minister and the inspector to come to the capital to report on her work.

Questions were immediately raised.

Minister of the Ministry of Officials Su Hongwei said: "Your Majesty, the state capital is far away, and it is not easy for officials to go to Beijing once. For example, in Leizhou, it takes two and a half months to travel from Berkshire to Shengjing. During this period, many government affairs in Leizhou will be delayed. It is precisely because of this that during the Yanzhao period, Emperor Yanzhao changed the frequency of state government officials' pilgrimage to Beijing from once a year to once every three years. The officials are puzzled. Hundreds of officials only went to Beijing for a pilgrimage last year. Why is Your Majesty at this time? How about summoning the chief envoy and the envoy?"

"I know that it is not easy for state officials to go to Beijing, so I don't want to make a big fanfare like a pilgrimage this time. The magistrates of each state met at last year's pilgrimage, but there are still many chief envoys and inspectors. I’m not familiar with them. Since I’m already in charge, I still want to meet them. In each state, I only need these two people to see you, and you don’t need to bring anything. Go to Beijing as soon as possible, and the time should be cut in half.” Ye Qinghuai said.

Su Hong was slightly taken aback. He didn't know why the emperor was so obsessed with meeting the second and third leaders of the state capitals, so he frowned and said: "If your majesty wants to know the situation of each state, you can ask for details by going to the brochure. The chief envoy He and the Inspectorate are both major officials in charge of local government affairs, and if they leave for such a long time, I worry that the state government office will be stretched."

Ye Qinghuai nodded and said: "So I left Zhizhou in order to stabilize the political situation. In addition, officials from all states don't have to come to Beijing together this time. According to the specific conditions of each state, it is better to choose a leisurely time to come. For example, in Yunzhou, it’s freezing in winter and the farming is slack, so it’s better to come to Beijing in winter. Su Hongwei, please discuss with the prefectures and arrange a time for me to enter Beijing.”

She made such a detailed arrangement, obviously she had thought about it long ago, and it was not a whim.

There is nothing wrong with the emperor wanting to see the state officials, Su Hongwei couldn't say anything more, so he accepted the order and stood aside.

After the morning court, hundreds of officials left in twos and threes.

Su Hongwei walked last, he walked very slowly, with some hesitation on his face.

He was still recalling the emperor's early moves in his mind, pondering the deep meaning.

"Hongwei," Chen Yuansi appeared behind him at some point and startled him. Su Hongwei hurriedly saluted, but Chen Yuansi didn't even look at him, and continued walking on his own, saying, "Give us those few The people in this state rushed to write a letter eight hundred miles away, saying that Beijing is safe and sound, so they don’t have to panic, just do their own errands well.”

Su Hongwei followed, approached Chen Yuansi, and said, "Your Excellency, you know, what is the meaning of His Majesty's sudden desire to summon the chief envoy and the envoy?"

Chen Yuansi glanced at him with those half-opened and half-closed eyes, and said, "Your Majesty wants to control the state capital in his own hands."

Su Hong paused for a moment, and said, "The lower officials don't quite understand."

"If His Majesty suddenly summoned your official minister alone, and then beat you with words, how would you feel?"

Chen Yuansi's words seemed to remind Su Hongwei of something.

Chen Yuansi continued: "Your Majesty is trying to make them jealous of each other. It's a good fisherman's profit."

Su Hongwei stopped in her tracks, and said in a daze, "Can Your Majesty think so far?"

Chen Yuansi also stopped. He didn't turn his head or answer. Instead, he raised his head and looked far away, looking at the blue sky on the top of Chengtian Gate.

There was hidden worry in his dusky eyes.

Ye Qinghuai's purpose came to fruition so quickly that even Ye Qinghuai was surprised.

The next day Li Baoquan sent Ye Qinghuai three secret books.

One impeached the Ministry of Officials for violating the rules, one impeached Yushitai for shirking affairs, and another one caught Ye Qinghuai's attention.

The minister of the Ministry of War reported that the Ministry of Households stored a large amount of military rations in the suburbs of Beijing, and suspected that some officials had exchanged rations during the storage process and enriched their own pockets.

Ye Qinghuai immediately sent a message to Tao Yuan, asking him to go to the plateau to inquire about the situation of the military grain depot.

Then, she asked Li Baoquan to summon Lu Yanchen into the palace.

After all, right now she can't find another person to discuss political affairs.

This is the first time Lu Yanchen entered the palace after resigning from the position of Emperor Teacher.

Since Shunping ten years ago, as Ye Qinghuai's teacher, he taught her here every day for three full years.He knows everything in Wenxuan Palace like the back of his hand.

But for some reason, now that he stepped into this study again as a foreign minister, he felt a little bit of a complicated feeling like nostalgia from the bottom of his heart.

Because the person sitting in the temple is no longer a half-grown child who only reaches his chest height.

From an ignorant and ignorant young prince, she has grown into the appearance of a deep emperor in the city. He has witnessed every transformation from the side.

He could always remember the appearance of Ye Qinghuai when he saw her for the first time in Wenxuan Palace.

The taciturn prince knew almost nothing about government affairs, but his understanding was extremely high, and he could understand everything at once.When answering his questions, he would look at him timidly with a pair of bright eyes.

He always remembered Ye Qinghuai's appearance at that time.

Eyes as clean as white paper.

A mind as clean as a blank sheet of paper.

It's so clean that people feel pity, but they are frightened.

Innocence is the last quality an emperor needs.

For this simple but smart student, Lu Yanchen taught him everything he could.He was very anxious to teach, wishing to pour all the poems and books in his belly into Ye Qinghuai's mind immediately.

Ye Qinghuai did not disappoint him either.

No matter how fast he taught and how much pressure he put on her, she could always complete the homework assigned by him perfectly.

It made him want to teach her more knowledge, to teach her something deeper.

He not only taught her economics, history and arithmetic, he taught her a hundred political opinions, but also taught her how to weigh people's hearts and how to control power.

He was like a pen soaked in thick ink, splashing ink on her white paper, and the pen went like a snake.

Now, she has grown into what he should have grown up in his mind.

Lu Yanchen felt gratified, but somehow lost.

Ye Qinghuai is like a baby bird that he watched grow up, but now her wings are stiff and she is about to leave the nest.

Her eyes no longer just stay on him alone, she wants to look at the vast sky and the direction ahead.

For a long time, Lu Yanchen subconsciously felt that Ye Qinghuai was still the child following behind him, just like the quiet time when the teachers and students in Wenxuan Hall were relatively quiet, it will be the same in the next ten years, and it will be the same in the next 50 years.

But these days, he felt more and more clearly that the little emperor who used to look at him timidly no longer belonged to him.
