On the wedding day, the husband's family was confiscated and exiled

The night wind blew the candles on the table.

Qi Xuan'en was yawning. He had taken a short nap. The floods in the south of the Yangtze River gave him a headache. He lowered his head, looking lonely.

He has taken over this broken court for ten days. He gets up early and goes to bed late. According to Sister Shuang, he is more tired than a dog.

"Hey!"

"Xiao Xuan'en." Shi Shuang appeared at the door, holding a cup of coffee and fried chicken, and waved them in front of him, "Are you hungry?"

Xie Wei stood aside and bowed.

"I pay my respects to the Emperor."

"Stand up, stand up." Qi Xuan'en stood up, and Eunuch Song brought a cushion. "Sister Shi Shuang, Brother Prince, I am almost dead tired these days when you were away."

The two men moved the memorial to the ground and sat cross-legged.

Shi Shuang spread a cloth, placed the fried chicken and food on it, and chuckled, "Eat something. Let A-Ying accompany you to deal with the memorials tonight."

Qi Xuanen was very moved and angrily ate two chicken legs.

Shi Shuang shook her head helplessly. She was obviously at the age of playing in the mud, but she had to govern the country. She looked at Qi Xuanen and raised her eyebrows.

"Your dark circles seem to be darker than those of the kid next door."

“……” Qi Xuanen pursed his lips and bit the straw.

Shi Shuang coughed lightly and consoled him, "It's okay. Although Xiao Hei is a dog, your life is more tiring than Xiao Hei's."

Qi Xuanen: “…”

Eunuch Song closed his eyes silently. The emperor was still young and could indeed be bullied.

Xie Wei smiled quietly.

"Okay, stop teasing him. Are you done eating?"

The emperor nodded.

He said, "Now that we're done eating, let's quickly look at the memorials. There are already two piles. Some ministers deliberately submit memorials that are not important, and throw the unimportant ones aside."

Qi Xuanen nodded and said embarrassedly.

"I don't think it's a good idea to throw it away..."

"Little Xuan'en needs to let go of things." Shi Shuang sat on the side, watching Xie Wei carefully reviewing memorials. She supported her head with her body swaying, and closed her eyes more and more frequently.

Xie Wei approached calmly.

Looking at his wife leaning in his arms, the corners of his mouth raised slightly. Suddenly, he noticed a gaze and looked up.

"Your Majesty, what's wrong?"

"I was just thinking, Brother Prince will be so happy to marry Sister Shi Shuang."

"Yeah, I think so too." Xie Wei tried to avoid waking her up, keeping his left shoulder as still as possible and flipping through the pages with only his right hand.

Most of the memorials have been cleared up.

Qi Xuanen listed the problems that could not be solved, including rewards and punishments for meritorious officials, unrest at the border, and floods in the south of the Yangtze River. He said, "Am I too stupid?"

"Take your time." Xie Wei said, "The matter of rewards and punishments does need to be studied carefully, but you can leave it to Lord Shi. He is an old minister and has experience, so he will definitely be able to handle this matter well."

Qi Xuanen nodded.

Xie Wei said: "Your sister A Shuang said that if you can't solve something, just leave it to others. Instead of wasting time on yourself, it's better to waste time on others. Don't be bald at such a young age.

There is unrest at the border. Tomorrow morning during the court session, Your Majesty will see who is willing to volunteer.

As for the floods in the south, this happens every year, and we need to think of a good solution."

Qi Xuanen hurriedly took out the previous method of controlling floods.

He said: "In the past, we allocated funds, sent officials to control floods, built dams, and distributed disaster relief food to the people. Every year, it was more or less the same, but what was the solution to control floods?"

Suddenly.

Shi Shuang sat up straight and rubbed his eyes. His brain wasn't working yet, but his mouth was already speaking.

"The way to control floods is to protect the ecological environment upstream, plant vegetation, and control soil erosion in the upper and middle reaches to reduce siltation in the downstream river channel, which causes the river channel to narrow and become a flood disaster when a flood occurs. The downstream river channel should be dredged..."

She woke up while carrying the child on her back.

"Hey, I thought the teacher was calling the roll."

She thought she had fallen asleep in class, and when her geography teacher called her name, she quickly stood up and recited. After all, she used to fall asleep while reciting while standing during morning reading.

Just when Shi Shuang was reciting the answer to 'control the flood'.

Qi Xuan'en was quickly writing on a blank book. He blinked in admiration, wrote the last word, and compared it with the way the officials governed.

"Sister Shi Shuang is really amazing. Her methods are more detailed and effective than theirs."

"Let me see." Shi Shuang took the record and thought for a moment. She said, "Actually, there is nothing wrong with the method. I'm afraid the problem lies in the use of people and materials."

Xie Wei's eyes darkened and he asked, "Are you saying that someone is greedy?"

Shi Shuang flipped open the bill and placed his hand on the total amount of money allocated to Shuicheng each year. "Ten thousand taels of silver, fifty thousand taels of silver, one hundred thousand taels of silver, two hundred thousand taels of silver, it has almost doubled.

The silver has not decreased, the effect has not been significant, and the death toll has increased. There must be something wrong. "

The same person was responsible for controlling the flood.

It’s Governor Chai Bo.

Eunuch Song immediately said, "This is the cousin of the Concubine Dowager. He is quite knowledgeable about water conservancy. After he took office, the flood in Water City was somewhat effective, so he has been living in Water City ever since."

Qi Xuanen frowned.

When the queen dies, the old lady in the palace becomes the dowager concubine.

"Immediately send Chai Bo back to Shengjing to pass on the message!"

"Yes!" Eunuch Song ran out of the palace. When the emperor was handling government affairs, fast horses would be prepared outside in case the emperor had to summon ministers for urgent matters.

Shi Shuang took a short nap and no longer felt sleepy.

She flipped through the memorials and shared some interesting gossip with a few people from time to time, and the atmosphere in the hall became much more relaxed.

Suddenly, the content of a memorial caught her attention.

"Xiao Xuan'en, someone is introducing you to someone."

"Ah?" Qi Xuan'en's ears turned red, and he held up the memorial to cover his red cheeks. "I am still young, and love affairs will only slow down my governance!"

Shi Shuang nodded with satisfaction, "Well, that's good! You are very conscious, but don't learn from your grandfather the Emperor. Marrying someone and then not taking responsibility will only hurt others and yourself!"

Qi Xuanen nodded, his eyes flickering slightly.

"Grandpa Emperor married many women in order to consolidate his government. Do I have to marry many women in the future? What if I don't like them?"

Shi Shuang hated the ancient practice of having three wives and four concubines. How many men and women would sacrifice their lives for this. She pursed her lips and said, "Then Xiao Xuan En should work hard to become an independent emperor, not relying on others, and marry the woman he likes!"

Eunuch Song came back and heard the Regent Princess was teaching the Emperor about monogamy.

He was so scared that he quickly stepped forward and said.

"It is common for the emperor to have three palaces and six courtyards if he wants to expand his family."

Common? That's right, Qi Xuan'en is already eleven years old. In ancient times, fourteen or fifteen was considered late for marriage.

Shi Shuang said: "It's not a good thing to have so many children."

"There will always be a wise and benevolent monarch, right?" Eunuch Song sighed. He had followed the late emperor all his life. The late emperor had sixteen concubines and gave birth to many princes, but none of them could achieve great things.

Especially the queen's child, who was actually born to a guard.

Shi Shuang shook his head and disagreed.

“Quality over quantity is the right choice.”

Eunuch Song murmured, "That's right."

Qi Xuan'en held his chin up, listening to the conversation between the two for a long time, then sighed and said childishly, "I am still young! I don't talk about feelings, I only love government! Eunuch Song, you go and arrange the banquet. Tomorrow night, I will be waiting for all the envoys to come."
