Chapter 100 I'm so happy (2)
As soon as Yun Shuo returned to the capital, he wanted to see Han Qian, but he had no excuses.Before he was a prince, he could just find an excuse to go to the princess mansion, but now he is the emperor, and his daily life is trapped within the heavy palace walls, and he can no longer go wherever he wants.No matter where you go, you will be followed by a large group of people, and there are five or six people waiting on you even when you are bathing and changing clothes.

"Zhen is really sad." Patting the armrest of the dragon chair, Yun Shuo sighed long.

Hearing such an inexplicable exclamation, Wu Miao didn't dare to speak for a while, but luckily a young eunuch came in and replied, "Go back to Long Live Lord, the Grand Tutor has arrived, please have an audience outside the hall."

"Biography." Yun Shuo said, stood up on the dragon chair, stretched his arms and walked to the low couch under the window.

Lu Ji entered the hall and took a look at the empty dragon chair, then turned around to look for it. After seeing the emperor who was drinking tea on the low couch under the window, he hurried over, knelt down and kowtowed: "I see your majesty, long live your majesty."

"Teacher, get up." Yun Shuo put the teacup in his hand on the kang table, and told Wu Miao, "Look at the tea."

Earlier, a tea-serving maid came up with a tray and offered Lu Taifu a cup of fragrant tea.

Taifu Lu took the fragrant tea and held it in his hand, tasted it respectfully for half a mouthful and then put it down.

Yun Shuo asked: "Teacher, is there anything important to come here at this time?"

"Returning to Your Majesty, the old minister came here for the affairs of the Ministry of Officials. Before the death of the late emperor, he searched more than [-] officials in Beijing, and now many positions are vacant, which has seriously affected the daily government affairs. More than half of the candidates proposed by the cabinet are An Yihou My disciple...this time of ease, is really...really too much! It's shameless!"

Yun Shuo didn't speak, just listened silently.

"Master Yao, Shangshu of the Household Department, is also very strange. There is money in the national treasury, but he cries for poverty all day long. He still withheld more than 200 million taels of money for the construction of the imperial mausoleum before, and now he has rejected the Ministry of Industry to repair it. The funds for the summer resort say that there is a huge vacancy in the funds for the river transportation project, so we should spend it there first--is it not important for your Majesty to cool off the summer?!"

Yunshuo still didn't speak, just waiting for the landing machine to continue.

"Your Majesty! This Yao Yanyi, relying on himself as a close relative of the Ninghou Mansion, is arrogant and arrogant, and doesn't even take His Majesty seriously. It's really abominable!"

"Is there anything else?" Yun Shuo asked with a slight frown.

"Returning to Your Majesty, the old minister thought that at the beginning of His Majesty's ascension to the throne, there were quite a few ministers in the court who believed that they were the elders of the two dynasties and were highly valued by the late emperor. All the ministers of the cabinet... They are pampered, their party members are spread all over the temple, and they even have connections with merchants, just like the Yao family - they not only open a glass shop, but also hold shares in the National Medicine Museum, and I don't know how much wealth they have amassed , Yao Yanyi, as the Minister of the Household Department, knows how to cry poor all day long, not only does not share his worries for His Majesty, but also constrains His Majesty, it is really tolerable or unbearable, Your Majesty should..."

"Teacher, I know what you said." Yun Shuo interrupted Lu Ji impatiently, and sighed, "How about this, you write these one by one as a memorial and hand it over, and I'll read it carefully before we talk. "

Lu Ji immediately bowed and replied, "Yes, I will write tonight."

"Okay, step back first, I'm tired." Yun Shuo waved his hand wearily.

"Yes, Your Majesty, please take care of the dragon's body. I will leave." Lu Ji got up and knelt down and bid farewell.

After he left, Yun Shuo sighed heavily, leaned slowly on the pillow behind him and remained silent for a long time.

Wu Miao watched quietly from the side that the emperor closed his eyes and didn't move for a while, thinking that he was asleep, so he hurriedly brought a thin blanket over to cover him, when Yun Shuo suddenly punched Wu Miao several steps away, Sitting on the ground, he didn't catch his breath for a long time.

"Huh?" Yun Shuo suddenly opened his eyes and looked at Wu Miao who was grinning on the ground and dared not make a sound, and rubbed the center of his eyebrows helplessly, "I fell asleep?"

The poor eunuch Wu Miao, who was knocked to the ground with good intentions to cover others with quilts, had to apologize again and again: "Damn this slave, for disturbing His Majesty's rest, I beg His Majesty to spare..."

"Forget it, get up." Yun Shuo stretched his waist and stood up from the couch, and added kindly: "From now on, when I'm asleep, don't get too close."

"Yes, yes, I remember it." Wu Miao hurriedly agreed and stood up.

A court lady came in with tea and handed it over. Yun Shuo took a sip of the tea, rinsed his mouth, and asked, "What time is it?"

The maid serving tea hurriedly replied: "Return to Your Majesty, it's time to apply."

"It's so boring. Change clothes and go for a walk." Yun Shuo said lightly.

Wu Miao thought that "going for a walk" meant going to the Imperial Garden, so she went to get a ochre-colored dragon robe to exchange for Yunshuo.Seeing the clinker, Yun Shuo immediately reprimanded him in disgust: "If you want the homely Yanfu, I'm going to go outside the palace."

"Hey! Long live you..." Wu Miao immediately changed his face, and wanted to persuade but was interrupted impatiently by Yun Shuo: "Stop talking nonsense, just go and tell Qianye to bring someone to escort you, I will just go out quietly Take a breath, this palace is suffocating to death!"

"Your Majesty..." Wu Miao wanted to persuade him again, but saw that his Long Live Lord had already turned the screen to change his clothes.

Leaving the palace was easy and easy. After changing into a guard uniform and following Qianye, the emperor walked out of the palace in such a swaggering manner.

The prosperity of the capital is still the same, but I just changed my identity and mood to see it. No matter how I look at it, I don’t think it’s good enough—the lives of the people are not good enough. Some people wear patched clothes and carry baskets to sell back and forth. Begging with broken bowls, and old men in ragged clothes huddled in the corner waiting for alms... These people and things that I never cared about before now become a kind of self-denial in my eyes.For a while, Yun Shuo became more irritable.

A few people turned two streets, Yun Shuo did not enter any teahouses and restaurants, Qianye and the others had to follow closely.

Dark clouds gathered from the northwest to cover the sun that was setting in the west, and the sky became gloomy.Qianye squinted his eyes against the evening wind, and persuaded in a low voice: "Master, it's cloudy, and it's going to rain, shall we go back?"

Yun Shuo ignored him and just walked towards the city gate.

The wind suddenly picked up, and it really started to rain.

Yun Shuo climbed up the city wall step by step on the bluestone steps.

The rain suddenly became heavier, and the raindrops hit the city wall crackling, splashing a mist.Qianye hurriedly asked the soldiers on duty to bring oil coats for Yun Shuo to put on, but Yun Shuo just stood on the edge of the city wall and looked at the ancient city under his feet.

In the heavy rain, the lights are especially warm, and the dim yellow halos are swaying in the rain, just looking at them makes people feel at ease.

"Master, it's raining heavily, we might as well take shelter in the city tower." Qianye persuaded again.
