The king is not the king, the minister is not the minister

Chapter 39 Not Drunk Nine States Alone Drunk Qing II

In the past few days after the palace examination, Xia Houzhan was indeed overworked, and Yu Zhuo was still worried about his health.

The change of the prime minister system, the appointment of officials, and the Jiangnan Shipyard have been put on the agenda.Regardless of those miscellaneous little things, these alone are enough to keep Xia Houzhan busy day and night.

No, as soon as I left him for a while, I ran to get wet in the rain, and caught the wind and cold after getting wet in the rain.

Yu Zhuo simply took him back to the Prime Minister's Mansion with him, intending to stare at him all day long, stay away from those political affairs, and maybe he would recover sooner.

Perhaps there is another thing that bothers Xia Houzhan, which is Su Qing's confession of her wrongdoing.

Regarding Su Qing's matter, no matter what, Yu Zhuo took him out of the prison first to avoid any trouble. After all, Su Qing has worked hard and is an emperor's teacher.

People all over the world tend to look at human feelings and ignore the law, not to mention the Son of Heaven is the law.

In the late spring, all the fragrant flowers are gone, and the warbler is empty.Unexpectedly, within the Su residence, there would be a scene of decay.

Yu Zhuo specially went to Su Manor to visit Su Qing, only to see that the latter's face was ashen and guilty, which further confirmed that this matter was indeed done for him.

Therefore, it is justified for Xia Houzhan to put his mentor in prison.

"Master Su."

"Master Yu, why come here today?"

"How is your son?" Speaking of this, Yu Zhuo couldn't help feeling a little resentful. If it wasn't for Su Shixue, how could Xia Houzhan catch the cold.

"Okay... Your Majesty—"

"Your Majesty has worked hard recently, caught wind and cold, and had a high fever all day, and he retired the day before yesterday."

Su Qing looked worried, and the sense of guilt deepened. He suddenly said: "I leaked the topic, but Master Yu interceded, and His Majesty forgave me, but I am really ashamed of my trust in Your Majesty and Lord Yu." .”

Yu Zhuo asked in surprise: "Why is Master Su like this?"

"Of course it's to recruit students."

What Su Qing said is the tacit method of recruiting "students" among officials, but this matter is far from that simple, and the "partisan disputes" involved in it are also ancient.

It's just that Su Qing has always been a representative of the neutral faction, so she has such thoughts no matter what.

Su Qing guessed his doubts, and explained: "In the world, there is no one who is as solitary as Mr. Zuo Xiang, who is not stained with dust, and lives alone in this court. If there is a mistake, they will attack in groups."

Yu Zhuo sighed, everyone's state of mind and position are different, so it doesn't make any sense for him to criticize.I had to say: "After His Majesty recovers from his illness, we can make a decision."

The doctor Li personally stayed in Zuo Xiangfu for two days.It has to be said that this doctor has rejuvenated his body, and the illness that had been delayed for more than ten days was cured, but now it only took four days, and he recovered quickly.But Yu Zhuo felt that Xia Houzhan would be tired after returning to the palace at this moment, so he might as well stay for two more days.

"After the responsibilities of the prime minister in Beijing are settled, I will go to Jiangnan." Xia Houzhan looked at the messy stack of drawings on the table, and the Jiangnan Shipbuilding Bureau officially started construction not long ago.

"The boat won't be built until next year at least." Yu Zhuo advised him to avoid running around and working hard.

However, the latter looked dejected, and said: "It is impossible for me to go to sea, so naturally I will not look at the purpose of that boat. I just want to see if someone will enrich their own pockets and cause trouble."

"What your Majesty said is true." What Yu Zhuo thought was that the emperor must want to go out to sea to see the exotic scenery, but his status was limited, so he didn't care.

"I...cough cough."

"Okay, Your Majesty." Upon hearing his cough, Yu Zhuo's heart immediately picked up. He helped him to the window, wrapped him in a quilt, and hugged him in his arms. "The most important thing is to take good care of your body."

Xia Houzhan didn't feel much uncomfortable, probably because Yu Zhuo was nervous, leaned into his ear and asked, "How long has it been since you and I performed the ceremony of Duke Zhou?"

"I'm afraid it's been half a month." Yu Zhuo deliberately extended the time for a few days, rubbing his fingers on his waist, "Is there any discomfort, Your Majesty?"

"Not at all." After Xia Houzhan finished speaking, he felt that Yu Zhuo didn't mean it. He blushed as he thought about it. Looking at the dark sky, he relaxed and leaned against Yu Zhuo.

Xia Houzhan felt that he needed someone to rely on too much. The road to the emperor was too rugged and lonely, and he could not walk well alone.

Similarly, Yu Zhuo also felt that he needed someone to prove his connection with the present world, instead of waking up overnight and finding himself on an isolated island with no past and no future.

Suddenly, Xia Yubing knocked on the door and called the two of them out for dinner.

"Leave him alone." Yu Zhuo was so excited that he couldn't care less about other things. He took off his clothes repeatedly, and it was Xia Xia Houzhan who yelled "I'll go later" outside the house.

On April [-]th, the matter of Su Qing came to an end. After all, Xia Houzhan lightly fined her two months' salary and exposed the matter on the grounds that "it did not cause a major disaster".

But many ministers saw another side of Xia Houzhan: he is by no means so easy to favoritism.

On April [-]th, the new policy was promulgated, the position of prime minister was abolished, and all powers and jurisdictions were divided into six departments. The academicians of the Imperial Academy took turns in Yangming Pavilion every day to assist the emperor in handling official documents.

The number of academicians in the Hanlin Academy is huge, and they are often responsible for compiling books and historical records. Now that they suddenly come to handle political affairs, it may take a while to adjust.

Yu Zhuo's official position was also changed from prime minister to "Chief Academician". According to Xia Houzhan's intention, after Yu Zhuo left, even this official position would not be established.

With the New Deal, the biggest advantage for the emperor is that he does not need to go to court every day to read memorials, but only needs to read the final draft submitted by the Imperial Academy.

Of course, in order to prevent the authority of the Hanlin Academy from being sidelined and deceive the saints, the number of personnel in the Nanyuxingsi has also doubled.

The emperor's southern tour, this matter is quite big, and it will inevitably alarm many officials, so Xia Houzhan means to change to a private visit in a micro-service, and go secretly like last time.

So the task of supervising the shipyard fell on Yu Zhuo.

The Imperial Academy issued a few appointments, and after reading them, Yu Zhuo jokingly asked, "What reason will Your Majesty use to prevaricate those ministers this time, so that he will not go to the early court?"

"I haven't recovered from the serious illness, and I still need to take care of it." Xia Houzhan lied without changing his expression.

"Okay." Yu Zhuo didn't bother to worry about so much, "But your majesty must not be as casual as last time, you must obey the orders of the ministers, and you can't take off anything you should bring."

Yu Zhuo chattered for a while.

Listening, Xia Houzhan said impatiently: "I know."

With a long sigh, Yu Zhuo made an aggrieved expression, and asked Xia Houzhan: "How many days have we only been together, and your majesty is tired of your ministers. Sure enough, the emperor's heart is unpredictable."

"When did I get bored with you?"

"I don't even want to listen to the minister's words, so you're bored?"

"I can't say enough about you." Xia Houzhan stood up and said lightly, not being disturbed by Yu Zhuo's performance at all, and Yu Zhuo immediately said "boring".

After nightfall, Yu Zhuo saw Su Shixue wandering outside alone, but never approached the main entrance of the bedroom, so he also went out alone and asked him: "Commander Su, do you want to see Your Majesty?"

"No, no... how is your majesty?"

"The body is better, but it is still weak, and needs to rest for a while." Yu Zhuo said, seeing this Su Shixue, he was a little cautious. This is His Majesty's comrade-in-arms who was born and died. The night before their death, they were also walking together.

Yu Zhuo will never admit that he eats food.

"Your Majesty will not disturb His Majesty's rest." After Su Shixue finished speaking, she wanted to turn around, but unexpectedly Xia Houzhan called him from inside and asked him to enter the Qianyuan Palace to speak.

"Hengqing, go have dinner first."

This is the meaning of small talk.Yu Zhuo was a little unhappy immediately, but what can he do?
