Honghui is reborn in Legend of Zhen Huan, I will protect my mother

"Father Emperor, it's only been two months and your waist has grown an inch. You should get out and move around, right?"

Yinzhen flipped through the memorials on the imperial desk one by one, and replied without raising his head: "There are too many things to do in the court, and I can't spare the time. I will talk about it later."

Honghui disagreed with this: "When will we turn back? There is no end to the work. Don't let the government affairs ruin your health. The Emperor Mafa was not as exaggerated as you!"

Hearing this, Yinzhen pointed to the dozen or so memorials that were placed aside and said, "Come, take a look at these memorials."

"I am a prince, I cannot overstep my authority..." Before he could finish, Yinzhen forcefully took the memorial and stuffed it into his hand, glaring at him as he spoke, "Are you trying to distance yourself from me? Just look at it when I tell you to!"

"That's not what I thought... Well, never mind, I'll read it right away, don't worry."

Honghui said a few words to comfort her, then casually opened a book and started to glance over it. Unexpectedly, before he finished reading the book, his expression gradually became solemn.

One book, two books... thirteen books in total, and I finished reading them in less than a quarter of an hour.

"Father Emperor, it's time to straighten out the previous dynasty. All these people are popping up one after another."

Yinzhen nodded: "I have only been on the throne for a short time, and I have not made any big moves for a while. These people don't take me seriously! Who among the civil and military officials in the court doesn't want to test me? But how can I let it go? However, these people are just pawns, and there are big problems everywhere in the court!"

"You are right. Let's not talk about the Ministry of Rites for now. The Ministry of Personnel is very treacherous. They are just treating me as a child." Honghui squinted and chuckled. Outsiders who saw this felt their whole bodies tremble and felt a little creepy for no reason.

"The Ministry of Revenue is not okay either. I've only been away for less than half a year, and there are already people who are openly greedy for money. They are so audacious! It's also my fault that I was easy to talk to before and was not harsh enough to kill the chicken to scare the monkeys. But there is no time now. Therefore, the Ministry of Revenue must have a trustworthy person to replace me as the Prime Minister." Yinzhen wanted to scold him and take him home, but he still endured it.

Uncle Thirteen! It must be Uncle Thirteen who can manage the Ministry of Revenue for you. This is the best decision that will go down in history!

Honghui wanted to recommend someone, but he held back and just said, "You decide. All the uncles are talented in both civil and military affairs. There must be someone who can take over the Ministry of Revenue for you."

Yinzhen nodded again: "Let's discuss this later! You are enough for the Ministry of Personnel. Although the other ministries are still important, they are not as important as these two. If we want to eradicate the corruption in the government, we must start with the Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of Personnel."

"I will do my best to clean up the Ministry of Personnel as soon as possible!"

"Well, I have confidence in your abilities and methods, but you must remember not to rush into anything, but to take your time and avoid causing any major chaos."

Yinzhen nodded briefly and continued to review the memorials.

Seeing this, Honghui hurriedly spoke again to persuade: "Father Emperor, I know you are worried about the affairs of the previous dynasty, but you can't neglect your body. I only hope that you can live as long as your father, so don't you sleep longer? Sleeping only two and a half hours a day is unbearable for anyone, and your body is not made of iron!"

"Two and a half hours is enough. I am very energetic! Have you ever seen me doze off?"

"Your words are useless. It will only work if the imperial physician says so, and the Queen Mother and the Queen Mother must agree. I have heard that the Queen Mother is very angry about your behavior of ruining your body, and the Queen Mother has advised you many times, but you will not listen. Father Royal, what are you so anxious about?"

Facing his eldest son's particularly sincere eyes, Yinzhen suddenly felt a little guilty and at the same time, he was confused - yes, what was he so anxious about?

"I have only been on the throne for a short time, so I should be extra diligent. I will only feel at ease when the previous dynasty is stable..."

"There is always a lot to do. You have to learn how to balance work and rest!"

"My health is not as good as my father's, and I don't expect him to live as long as he does..."

"Nonsense! Have you ever had any serious illness in these years? Did the imperial physician say that you have damaged your vitality? Or did anyone diagnose that you will not live long? None of that! You must stop imagining things!"

What kind of excuses are these? Honghui was speechless and refuted them one by one.

"I……"

Honghui interrupted him earnestly, "Don't say anything. Unless you personally issue an imperial decree, I will never watch you ruin your body! Or do you have the heart to abandon me? I only have you as my father. You must live a long life and stay with me for a long time."

Looking at his eldest son's slightly red and swollen eyes and listening to his choking voice, Yinzhen's heart softened immediately.

He thought, if he were to pass away one day, how cruel that would be to leave his eldest son alone in the world!

After a long while, Yinzhen replied awkwardly, "Don't act like a child. How old are you? I can still accompany you for the rest of your life, right?"

"Why not? You should take care of yourself more. There are many elderly people in this world who are already 100 years old!" Honghui retorted unjustifiably.

"You, don't be too greedy. I am blessed by my ancestors for living past the age of seventy." Seeing his eldest son's lips moving slightly, as if he was about to answer, Yinzhen nodded hurriedly, "Okay, okay, I promise you, stop nagging! It's just to sleep for half an hour longer..."

"Half an hour? What good can half an hour do? It should be at least an hour, three and a half hours would barely be enough! And you can't just sit in the Yangxin Palace and review memorials all the time. You have to come out and walk for a quarter of an hour every half an hour or an hour..."

After a while of rambling, Yinzhen wanted to refute but didn't dare to open his mouth, for fear that he would not be able to stop talking today.

Why didn't the eldest son talk so much in the past? Oh, yes, the eldest son was quite talkative when he was young, but after he entered the palace to study, he suddenly became mature and sensible, and this talkative appearance has not been seen for some years.

Upon seeing this, Yinzhen suddenly felt a sense of nostalgia for the past!

Perhaps it was because his absent-mindedness was too obvious that Honghui could see it at a glance. "Father Emperor, are you listening? Or do you find my suggestion difficult? Well, it is my fault. I should not meddle in other people's business. You can do whatever you want. I'd better not come to the Yangxin Palace in the future. Out of sight, out of mind!"

"Listen, listen! Su Peisheng, you have heard what Prince Zhao said, right? Do as he says in the future."

"I heard it very carefully! Prince Zhao, rest assured, I will take care of His Majesty's health and I will make sure you don't have to worry about it."

Su Peisheng really broadened his horizons: Wow, Prince Zhao is still so favored, and just a few words made the His Majesty change his mind. Apart from the retired emperor, only Prince Zhao has this "ability"!
