Dressed as cannon fodder and vowing to kick the heroine’s head off

Xiao Chenyi looked at Yun Xi, who was stubborn and determined not to go back, and the anger in his heart was instantly ignited.

He frowned and said, "Do you think I am willing to stay in this palace? Do you think I really want to be that damn emperor? Isn't everything I do for you?

If I wasn't afraid that you would be bullied and oppressed by others, if I wasn't worried about your safety and happiness, how could I be willing to get involved in this muddy water! "

At this point, Xiao Chenyi's voice trembled slightly, and a look of grievance that was hard to conceal flashed across his face.

He sighed deeply and continued, "You know, I have to run back and forth between the court and the manor every day, and I am very busy. Am I really so idle that I have nothing to do?

It's because I'm always concerned about you and your daughter. If I could stay in the manor every day, accompany you to enjoy the beautiful scenery, plant those fresh vegetables with my own hands, and sit together to chat about family matters from time to time, that kind of life is what I really want!

But now... Alas! " After saying this, Xiao Chenyi shook his head helplessly, his eyes full of loneliness and fatigue.

Xiao Chenyi's handsome face had a serious and sincere expression, without any trace of disguise.

Yun Xi stared at him, her heart full of surprise. She had never thought that a man as heroic and high-spirited as Xiao Chenyi would have no interest in the open and secret struggles in the palace.

She opened her red lips and sighed leisurely. A trace of pity flashed in her beautiful eyes. She said softly, "Since even you hate the disputes in the palace so much, why don't we just let other ministers handle the affairs of the court? In this way, you can take some free time to go out and play with me for a few days and relax your body and mind. Wouldn't it be nice?"

However, Xiao Chenyi smiled bitterly and shook his head. His once heroic face now looked a little exhausted.

He sighed helplessly, "My Xier, you are so innocent. I also want to do what you said, but I have tried many times, but all ended in failure. Those old ministers in the court are all cunning and shrewd like foxes, and they are difficult to control.

As long as I slack off, they will take the opportunity to stir up trouble, seek personal gain, and disrupt the government. Therefore, this is absolutely not feasible!"

After saying that, he slowly raised his head, looked into the distance with a somewhat empty gaze, and then sighed deeply, a sigh that seemed to contain endless fatigue and helplessness. His eyes were full of deep fatigue, and that fatigue seemed to have penetrated deeply into the depths of his soul.

Although he was still young, had ample physical strength, and his intelligence was always online, he had too much to do! Every day from morning to night, he was either buried in a mountain of memorials or rushing on the road to handle government affairs.

At this time, Yun Xi, who had been standing silently by the side, finally couldn't help but ask tentatively: "So...what do you think of Xiu Qi?"

Hearing this question, Xiao Chenyi frowned slightly and asked back: "Xiu Qi? What exactly do you want to ask?"

Yun Xi thought for a moment and replied, "I was wondering if you could consider letting Xiuqi come over to help share some of the responsibilities in the future? In my opinion, this little guy is smart and resourceful. If he can be properly employed, he will surely be of help to you."

After hearing this, Xiao Chenyi did not respond immediately, but fell into a brief contemplation.

After a while, he nodded slightly, then as if he had thought of something, he nodded heavily and said:

"Well, you have a point. Well, I will arrange this matter after I return.

If I find after investigation that Xiuqi is indeed reliable, then I will naturally give him more space to display his talents so that he can better assist me in handling various affairs.

This will definitely help his growth.”

After saying this, a barely perceptible look of relief appeared on his face.

Yun Xi curled her lips: I'm just being lazy and wanting to shed my shell like a goldfish! It sounds so nice!

Xiao Chenyi instantly became alert.

He stopped sticking around the two children and after playing with them for a while, he got up and left.

He wanted to quickly push this brat Xiuqi to the court to take charge.

Try to spend three days a week at the manor with Yun Xi and the two babies.

Yun Xi was right, life in the palace was not as good as life in the manor.

Since he is in the palace, Xiuqi will be restricted in what he does, right?

Also, call your adoptive father over and let him and your good friends help you with Xiu Qi.

By the way, there are also several children from Yunxi’s uncle’s family who can all be promoted.

Let all reliable and close people help to repair it.

In this way, I guess I can stay in the manor five days a week?

The more Xiao Chenyi thought about it, the more excited he became.

After arriving at the palace, he immediately issued a series of imperial decrees.

My godfather Pu Yong, please return to Beijing as soon as possible to serve as regent.

Yun Xi's eldest and third senior brothers served as prime minister and chief minister of the Dali Temple respectively.

The post of Shangshu Ling was established to oversee government orders, and was held by Shangshu Feng.

The fourth brother was appointed as the Imperial Censor, responsible for supervising all officials and assisting the Prime Minister in handling state affairs. The Imperial Censor was responsible for supervising the behavior of court officials and impeaching officials who violated laws and disciplines; on the other hand, the Imperial Censor also had a certain say in the court's decision-making process, and was also responsible for keeping important court books and archives, and undertook the important task of maintaining court discipline and regulating the behavior of officials.

After these important positions were arranged, Xiao Chenyi assigned other positions to other officials who were loyal to him.

Hei Yi had followed him for many years and was more than capable of handling important tasks, so he directly appointed him as Grand Marshal, the highest military commander in the country, in charge of military administration, including the training and deployment of troops, and the appointment and removal of generals.

Hei Sanze was appointed as the general and led an army of 100,000 to the border to guard the most important checkpoint.

And the relatives of Yun Xi's maternal grandfather were also arranged by him one by one.

Yun Xi's best cousin was appointed as a governor, responsible for inspecting local officials, inspecting the states, and supervising whether local officials were honest and upright, and whether they obeyed the court's laws, etc...

The matter was of great importance, so Xiao Chenyi directly asked Hei Yi and Hei San to take up the post first with the secret order.

With the protection of the army, the literati in the court naturally did not dare to act recklessly.

He had already seen through it a long time ago that those people were all cowards.

He usually chatters a lot, but when it comes to things related to life, he immediately loses his temper.

Xiuqi woke up slowly in the early morning and was startled by Xiao Chenyi who suddenly appeared at the head of his bed with dark circles under his eyes: "Father???"
