More children, more blessings, starting from marrying a wife to fight for world hegemony

After the female guard sent by Lu Chen to deliver the message left, Li Rui immediately asked his servants to notify the officials in the capital who were still at the door and let them enter the hall together.

The officials in the capital were very happy when they heard that Li Rui, the former third-in-command of the Northern Kingdom, was going to meet them.

They are not fools. They naturally understand that Li Rui said he was sick because he didn't want to see them. Now that Li Rui wants to see them, he has obviously figured it out.

Soon, a group of officials from the capital came to the reception hall of Li Mansion.

When everyone entered the reception hall, Li Rui said directly: "I know why you came to Li's Mansion today, but before that, I would like to say that you will bring all the gifts you brought later. go back."

"Yancheng is different from Beijing. Giving gifts casually in Yancheng can easily cause trouble."

When they heard this, everyone was stunned for a moment, but they had all been in officialdom for so many years, and they quickly understood what Li Rui meant.

Li Rui continued: "Our Majesty is different from any previous emperor. If we want to gain a foothold in Yancheng, we must figure out what kind of people His Majesty needs as soon as possible."

"If you have any questions, you can ask them now. I can answer them one by one for you today. However, after today, you can't all rush to the Li Mansion like today."

Hearing Li Rui's direct words, an official from the capital immediately said: "Master Li, I have a question and I would like to ask Master Li."

Li Rui said: "If there is anything you don't understand, just ask."

The man asked: "Your Majesty's decision to hold court meetings once every seven days really won't affect the flow of government affairs?"

Li Rui replied: "No, although the court meeting is held once every seven days, your Majesty will not do nothing during these seven days. Your Majesty will handle various government affairs in the imperial study."

"The reason why His Majesty changed the court meeting to once every seven days is mainly because His Majesty knew that some ministers always mentioned trivial matters in the morning court. As a result, the court meeting was not only meaningless, but also delayed for half a day, seriously affecting the efficiency of the officials. .”

"If there was no morning morning meeting, officials would have to go to their work places during working hours. This would actually improve work efficiency."

Another official asked: "If there is no morning court, how will we know if something happens to Your Majesty?"

Li Rui said: "Why do you think His Majesty has scheduled a court meeting every seven days? During the court meeting, His Majesty will arrange all the work for the next seven days. If there is something unexpected, His Majesty will naturally send someone to notify the superior department, and then the superior department will Give orders to lower-level departments.”

Li Rui glanced at the officials in the hall and continued: "Our Majesty is a practical person. He dislikes bringing everything up to the court meeting. From now on, you must remember that anything that has nothing to do with the country's affairs should not be discussed. Take it to the court and tell it."

"Especially the affairs of the harem are His Majesty's family affairs. You must not touch them. In addition, the Ministry of Rites of the new imperial court is a pension department. If any of you enter the Ministry of Rites in the future, you only need to follow His Majesty's arrangements. Don't come here in one day. If you talk about etiquette at night, what His Majesty dislikes the most is people who talk about etiquette, justice and integrity, but in the end do not work."

Hearing this, an official was not happy. He immediately said: "Master Li, the emperor has no family affairs, and the affairs of the harem should also be state affairs."

Li Rui glanced at the man and then said: "I am just reminding you that if you don't listen to me and something happens, don't blame me."

Li Rui's tone was serious, and the man didn't say anything more.

Li Rui continued: "The most important point is that you should not think about giving or accepting bribes. Your Majesty has an agency that specifically monitors hundreds of officials, called Jinyiwei. Jinyiwei is pervasive. Whatever you do, Your Majesty will be the first to do so. Time will know.”

After hearing what Li Rui said, the officials finally understood why Li Rui asked them to take all the gifts back.

At this time, an official asked cautiously: "Master Li, in this case, your Majesty will soon know what you said to us today?" Hearing this question, Li Rui laughed, and then said: "You guys Your Majesty has known about coming to Li Mansion for a long time, why do you think I didn’t see you at first and suddenly wanted to see you again?”

This……

Everyone immediately understood what Li Rui meant. So, what Li Rui told them was the intention of the person in the palace?

No wonder what Li Rui said sounded so like beating them. It turned out that this was what the emperor wanted to say to them, and Li Rui was just conveying the emperor's meaning.

Then Li Rui talked about the official structure of Yancheng with the officials present, and also told them how Yancheng officials were treated in the past.

After listening to Li Rui's words, the officials in the capital also had a general understanding of the official situation in Yancheng and Lu Chen's behavior style.

……

Lu Chen and Zhuge Chongguang discussed for almost a day before finalizing the appointment list of officials for the new court.

In the evening, Lu Chen originally planned to go to Yelu Nanyan's place, but he suddenly thought of something, so he turned around and went to where Wu Yunwan lived.

Wu Yunwan still lives with Murong Xueer. After all, neither of them has officially married Lu Chen and has no status.

And despite the fact that they always quarrel, Murong Xueer and Wu Yunwan still have a lot of things in common. They are both related to Emperor Yue, and they are both Lu Chen's women. Whether they are talking about Emperor Yue or Lu Chen, They can talk about everything.

At this time, the sun was setting in the west, and the red rays of light shone on Wu Yunwan's plump and perfect figure. This scene was like a beautiful picture.

Wu Yunwan stood in the pavilion, and Murong Xueer stood next to her. Wu Yunwan said at this time: "Why don't you go to the imperial study to find that person?"

Murong Xueer said: "Didn't the eldest princess go too?"

Wu Yunwan said calmly: "I am busy with affairs now, unlike you who have nothing to do all day long and sit in your room drawing and thinking about men every day."

Since Lu Chen left Beiguo, Murong Xueer often painted Lu Chen's portrait in the room, thinking about him when he saw the painting.

Hearing Wu Yunwan's words, Murong Xueer raised her eyebrows slightly, and then said: "Your Highness, it is not a good habit to peek at other people's things."

Just when Wu Yunwan was about to say something, a familiar voice suddenly came from not far away, "It's really not a good habit to peek at other people's things. Yunwan, you can't do this again in the future."

Hearing this voice, the two women were slightly startled. After coming back to their senses, they both looked in the direction of the voice. Sure enough, they saw the bad man who had haunted them in their dreams.

Wu Yunwan said at this time: "Your Majesty, why are you here today? Your Majesty is not afraid that the wives and concubines in the harem will be jealous?"

After all, Wu Yunwan and Murong Xueer didn't have any status, and they followed Lu Chen later. According to the queue, it wasn't their turn yet. As a result, it was only the third day that Lu Chen came to see them.

Upon hearing Wu Yunwan's question, Lu Chen transformed and appeared directly behind the two women, then opened his arms and directly wrapped his arms around the soft waists of the two women.

"Of course I come here because I miss my Wanwan and Xue'er." (End of this chapter)
