Chapter 233 Returning to Beijing (4)
Yun Shuo nodded in satisfaction, and said: "I just came back today, and I am very tired. Let me talk about important matters in the court first, and let's talk about the unimportant ones tomorrow."

"Yes." Xiao Lin replied, Fang said: "The most important thing is the issue of food and grass for the war in the western borders. Master Yao, Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, has the most say in this matter. So let Master Yao talk about it."

Yao Yanyi took two steps forward, bowed and replied: "Your Majesty, [-]% of the grain and grass that have been transported to the western borders are already enough, [-]% of which have already been transported to the western borders, and [-]% can be set off in the future. There is still [-]% that are not enough, my minister I'm trying to figure it out."

"Well, we can make up enough within two months." Yun Shuo nodded.

Yao Yanyi hurriedly bowed: "Yes, I thank Your Majesty Long En. It's just that I don't know something. Two months ago, a few merchants in the southwest Jingchu land enthusiastically donated grain and grass, and they donated in less than half a month. 20 shi, because the amount is huge, I dare not make decisions without authorization, so I ask your Majesty to decide on the use of this batch of grain and grass."

Yun Shuo smiled lightly: "Oh, I have known about this for a long time. This is a donation from a wealthy businessman for the Southwest War. You can ask someone to transport the food and grass to the Southwest."

"My minister obeys the order." Yao Yanyi hurriedly bowed to accept the order.

Afterwards, the Ministers of the Ministry of Industry, Ministers of the Ministry of Punishment, and Ministers of the Ministry of War all reported important matters.

Yun Shuo made arrangements one by one.

Seeing that within the six departments, except the Ministry of Rites, all the important matters have been reported, there are also several large boxes of memorials that have been carried into the Zichen Palace by the deacons and eunuchs of the Taiji Palace. I think I won't be able to sleep fully for at least half a month.

"Your Majesty, I have one more matter, please Your Majesty to make a decision." Shao Xilan, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, came out and bowed back.

Yun Shuo nodded slightly: "Shao Aiqing, if you have something to say, just say it."

"Your Majesty has returned from victory. This is the first prosperous age of our dynasty. I think that a grand celebration banquet should be held to clean up the dust and sing praises for His Majesty."

"It's fine to sing the praises." Yun Shuo said lightly, "It's okay to take the wind and wash away the dust. You just need to call the princes and ministers of the court and officials above the third rank to celebrate. Although it is a victory, the treasury is tight at this time. Still shouldn’t be too extravagant.”

"Yes, I understand His Majesty's sympathy for the people. We will organize this feast according to His Majesty's wishes."

Yun Shuo has no opinion on this matter. At this time, he only wants to finish these political affairs earlier, so that he can go to the eldest princess's mansion, and see Xintoubao by going to see Zhongyihou's injury, so he is careless She nodded and said, "Okay, I'll leave this matter to Shao Aiqing."

Shao Xilan smiled at the collar.The state banquet was an errand for Fei Mei, and Shao Xilan, who was the Minister of Etiquette, would naturally not let go of such a good opportunity to perform.

A group of ministers withdrew from the Zichen Palace.

Yun Shuo stood up slowly and stretched, then turned to look at Wu Miao.

Wu Miao hurriedly came forward with a smile, bowed and replied, "Your Majesty, the servant has already asked people to inquire. I believe there will be news in a while."

Yun Shuo frowned dissatisfied: "Still waiting? You dog slave is getting more and more inconvenient."

"Yes, the slave deserves to die, the slave deserves to die!" Wu Miao didn't dare to argue, so she had to confess.

Yun Shuo looked at the cowardly look of the old thing in front of him, frowned and said: "Forget it, I went to the Imperial Garden for a walk, I missed it all summer, and I don't know what happened to the orchids in Yihe Palace."

"Yes, my servant will go with His Majesty."

"You stay! When there is news, leave Laiyi and the palace and return to me!"

"Yes, yes!" Wu Miao hurriedly bowed and agreed.

In Yihe Palace, everything is as it used to be.

Yun Shuo strolled into the palace gate, walked slowly all the way, did not enter the main hall, but only went to the small garden behind from the verandah next to it.

At the end of summer, the plum trees in the small garden are lush and lush, and the plums have already been picked off, leaving only green leaves shining in the wind in the late summer sun, making a rustling sound Sing a clear song.

It seemed that the girl was whispering in her ears.Yun Shuo looked at the green leaves and smiled helplessly.

After all, I haven't seen her for more than three months. I don't know what she looks like now, will she grow taller?Well, if you can eat, you will definitely grow taller.And back to the eldest princess mansion again, with the eldest princess loving and taking care of her, she will definitely get fatter.

After all, I still didn't take good care of her when I was in Chengzhou!Thinking of those bad things, Yun Shuo sighed silently.

In the past few months, others have been in Chengzhou, but they have been paying attention to the imperial capital in their hearts.

Although not all the gossip and rumors in the imperial capital reached his ears, he still heard some.

At the beginning, he was also very angry, but then Ning Hou persuaded him: "As long as His Majesty returns to Beijing triumphantly, those words about the 'beautiful women's troubles, the waters, the demons and the lords' will naturally be destroyed." So he let those officials like The mad dog barked for a while.

Judging from the scene of his return to Beijing, Ning Hou was right.As long as he returns victorious after winning the battle, it is equivalent to slapping the mouths of those officials—how can the woman next to the Holy Lord Mingjun be the trouble of the evil face and the Lord?

"Brother Huang?" A soft voice behind him interrupted Yun Shuo's thoughts.

"Who?" Yun Shuo turned around with a frown, and saw Jiaying, who was wearing an ordinary palace attire, walking over with a watering pot in her hand, followed by two maids carrying buckets.So he frowned even deeper, and asked displeasedly, "Why are you here?"

"Jiaying pays homage to the emperor, and respectfully welcomes the emperor's peace." Jiaying bowed slowly while holding the water bottle, and knelt down in front of Yunshuo.

Yun Shuo looked down at the watering pot in Jiaying's hand, then at the two court ladies kneeling behind Jiaying, and asked coldly, "Why are you here?"

"Brother Huihuang, during your absence, I have been taking care of the orchids here for you. I know that the orchids must be watered with water from Longquan Mountain, and they must be watered according to the time of day. This greenhouse must be ventilated on time. Keep the proper moisture in the air inside, I'm afraid those court ladies are not careful enough and spoil the emperor's favorite orchids, so I personally come to water these orchids every day."

Yun Shuo looked back at the glass greenhouse. Through the glass, he could clearly see pots of orchids with lush branches and flowers. He couldn't find anything wrong for a while, so he waved his sleeves and said: " You are determined. From now on, these orchids will be taken care of by me, so you don’t need to come here.”

"Yes." Jiaying agreed, stood up slowly, and told the maid behind her: "You guys carry this water into the greenhouse."

The maid agreed and carried the bucket to the greenhouse.
