my wife is mulan

It has been more than half a year since Zhao Junsheng went to war. It is a big event to lead the army back in triumph. The imperial court held a grand celebration. According to Zhao Junsheng's request, the scale of the celebration was medium and the cost was not large.

After dealing with state affairs, the royal family held a family banquet, hosted by Hua Mulan and Wan Yutong, and Hua Yuan was also invited.

When Zhao Junsheng walked into Zihuan Palace from the outside, the royal family was chatting and chatting.

"His Majesty is here!"

Hua Mulan, Wan Yutong and several children all saluted one after another, and Hua Yuan also said a blessing: "I see you, Your Majesty!"

Zhao Junsheng stepped forward to help Hua Yuanshi: "They are all from my own family, mother-in-law does not need to be polite, please take a seat!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Zhao Junsheng walked to the main seat and said to Hua Mulan, Wan Yutong and their children, "You all should take your seats too!"

Invited by Hua Mulan, the eunuchs and maids brought up the meals one by one.

Zhao Junsheng started first, picked up a piece of braised pork, and thought about eating it, "Well, this braised pork is very good!"

Wan Yutong smiled and said, "My sister cooked it for you, none of us have it, you are the only one who can eat it!"

Zhao Junsheng smiled and said, "Hey, my salary is not low! Mulan, when did you practice your culinary skills? I haven't seen you have this skill before!"

Hua Mulan said: "I've been learning to cook for a few months, and now I can only cook a few dishes! I can make them, and you have them on your table!"

"Then I must try it!"

Zhao Junsheng ate several dishes made by Hua Mulan cleanly, his mouth was full of oil, and he touched his stomach after eating, "I'm full!"

At this time, Hua Mulan revealed a smile, and she said to Zhao Junsheng: "The son-in-law and the second child have been married for two years, and they have been at home all the time. I wonder if I can find him a job in the court's yamen?"

Zhao Junsheng looked at his son-in-law Wei Kang and asked: "Isn't the son-in-law running a business by himself? How can you say that he is at home without work?"

Wei Kang stood up and saluted, "My son-in-law thinks it's a good time, but the queen thinks my son-in-law should find a legitimate job in the court's yamen!"

Hua Mulan said: "We are the royal family. Opening a commercial firm is just a means of earning money to support the family. If you treat it as a serious matter, it is obviously not in line with the status of the royal family, and it will make the subjects talk about it!"

Zhao Junsheng didn't immediately agree to give Wei Kang an errand, so he turned to his daughter Zhao Linger: "Second brother, what do you think?"

Zhao Ling'er said: "Father, my daughter will not interfere with my husband's thoughts, and my daughter will support any decision he makes!"

Zhao Junsheng nodded, and said to Hua Mulan: "The children are grown up, and they have their own ideas. As elders, we should not interfere with them and impose our will on them! My daughter is already married. I also believe in her vision, I believe that the two of them can manage their family well, if the son-in-law doesn't want to take the official career, let's not force it, what do you think?"

Hua Mulan glared at her daughter and son-in-law, "Hmph, I just hope you don't regret it in the future. From now on, being an official in the Daqian Dynasty is not something you can do as you want. There are rules for everything, and you have to go step by step to become an official." Climbing up, if you think you can get in place in one step by relying on your status as a consort, then you are thinking wrong! If you regret it in the future and want to be an official again, you will only be a small official when you are a lot of age, even if you survive until you die. Can't hold a high position!"

Seeing that Hua Mulan was talking more and more vigorously, Zhao Junsheng quickly waved his hands: "Okay, well, Wei Kang doesn't have to make a decision in a hurry, you go back and think about it first, I will give you a few days, if you really don't plan to take the road of official career, You don’t need to come over these few days, if you change your mind, come and see me, that’s all for this matter, let’s eat first!”

"No!" Wei Kang agreed.

The family continued to eat, and the children were honest, they ate without making noise, and ate in silence.

At this time King Jing Zhao Ting stood up and said, "Father, my son has recently discovered a great talent and wants to recommend him to Father!"

Zhao Junsheng turned his head and looked over, "Great talent? What kind of talent does he have?"

"Father, this person's name is Chu Yuan. I have known this person for a while, and found that this person is unparalleled in eloquence, brilliant in art, and even has great insight in governing the country!"

Zhao Junsheng was surprised and said, "You mean Chu Yuan, the son-in-law of Princess Nanjun of the Southern Dynasty?"

"Exactly, it turns out that Emperor Father also knows Chu Yuan, so it's easy to handle!" King Jing Zhao Ting immediately beamed with joy.

But Hua Mulan scolded with a straight face: "What is easy to do? I think you are out of your mind. Then Chu Yuan and Princess Nanjun are the royal family of the Southern Dynasty, and they are also prisoners. You bastard recommended him to your father, you Don't you think your father is not enough to bother you? Just let it go!"

Zhao Ting said dissatisfiedly: "Mother, Chu Yuan is indeed a consort of the Southern Dynasty, but he has a foreign surname after all, not Liu. Now that he is working in my office, he is a subject of the office. He is qualified to be an official in my office. !"

Hua Mulan said angrily, "I'm just worried that if you keep a wolf, when you relax your vigilance, it will not only bite you, but swallow you whole!"

King Zhao Ping of Shu stood up and said: "Fourth brother, I think what the queen mother said is right, not to mention that the Southern Dynasty is still quite powerful, occupying half of the country in Central China. The royal family and officials should also be vigilant! As everyone knows, knowing people, knowing the face, not knowing the heart, who knows what these Southern Dynasty captives think in their hearts. You think he has forgotten the Southern Dynasty, but in fact he has never forgotten it in his heart, and has always wanted to restore the country! You Treat him as a friend, but he treats you falsely, and just uses you to achieve his various goals!"

Zhao Junsheng said: "Okay, I will talk about Chu Yuan's matter later. For the Southern Dynasty royal family, relatives, son-in-law and all people who are related to the Southern Dynasty royal family, we will not consider letting them be officials in our court for the time being! As for those from the Southern Dynasty Officials and military generals who surrendered and were captured during the war, we cannot easily appoint them officials, we have to go through layers of review and inspection, and we must confirm that they are no longer loyal to the Southern Dynasty and have no connection with the Southern Dynasty before we can consider it!"

Seeing what Zhao Junsheng said, Zhao Ting sat down with a worried look on his face. He boasted in front of Chu Yuan yesterday that he would definitely help Chu Yuan find an official position, but now he can only break his promise. Where is he going to put his face?

Prince Zhao Dong stood up and said to Zhao Junsheng: "Father, Yu Zijun, the envoy of the Southern Dynasty, heard that his father returned to the court. He has been begging to see his sons and ministers for the past few days, saying that he wants to see his father."

Zhao Junsheng said: "There are still a few days until the court meeting, let him meet at the Zichen Palace that day, presumably there are also envoys from various states and countries who want to see me, and arrange to meet on the day of the court meeting!"

"promise!"

After a few days, the son-in-law Wei Kang never came to see him. Zhao Junsheng knew what the son-in-law was thinking. In his opinion, it was good for the son-in-law not to go into an official career. Wei Kang was not an official at all. If you really want to become an official, you may be used as a gunman, or you may be sold out one day.

On the 24th of the twelfth lunar month, the new year is celebrated. This day is the last court meeting in the 19th year of Daqian.

Zhao Junsheng, Hua Mulan and Wan Yutong came to the Zichen Hall together and accepted the worship of the officials.

After the three of them were seated, Zhao Junsheng raised his hand: "Zhuqing is flat!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" The officials thanked and got up.

Zhao Junsheng asked: "Today is the last court meeting this year. What is the theme of this court meeting?"

Zhao Dong, the crown prince who supervised the country, stood up and saluted: "I would like to report to my father, this court meeting is mainly for the ministers of various ministries to report to my father the government orders and measures issued by the various ministries this year, report on the implementation status, and report on the status of these government orders and measures. The achievements and effects achieved after the promulgation and implementation!"

"Also, announce the schedule list of ministers who take a bath during the Chinese New Year and the New Year holidays; the last is to receive the envoys of the vassal states and various countries!"

Zhao Junsheng nodded: "Okay, let's start!"

The main officials of Shangshutai, Zhongshu and the three highest institutions under the sect stood up and reported in turn, and then the ministers of each department. It took a full hour to complete.

Next, Prince Zhao Dong announced the dates of the holidays during the Spring Festival holiday and the list of the main rotating ministers of the three provinces, six ministries and nine government offices during the holidays. From the 25th of the twelfth lunar month to the seventh day of the first lunar month are holidays , from the eighth day of the first lunar month, the government offices of all courts will work normally, and all ministers and officials must order official duties.

As for how the yamen of the three provinces, the six ministries, and the nine ministers arrange their rotation during the holidays, it is up to the main responsible ministers to decide on their own.

The official of Honglu Temple stood up and said: "Your Majesty, everything is done, and the next step is to accept the audience of the various states and envoys!"

Zhao Junsheng said: "Then let the envoys of the various states go to the palace first!"

Following the sound of the eunuch's proclamation, a group of envoys from all states entered the hall to pay homage to Zhao Junsheng, Hua Mulan and Wan Yutong, wishing him a great victory over the Southern Dynasty and a triumphant return.

Zhao Junsheng accepted their worship and comforted them.

When these people found their seats and stood up, Zhao Junsheng asked, "Which country's envoys will have an audience with them next?"

"Return to Your Majesty, the next person to meet is the Persian envoy Yaztize, who is the brother of the King of Persia, and his title is Prince!"

Zhao Junsheng raised his hand and said, "Xuan!"
