After returning to the Northern Tang Dynasty, Yu Wenhao immediately went to the imperial study to read all the piled memorials.
After all, after ten days, my desk will be piled up like a mountain.
But when he arrived at the Imperial Study Room, he saw that there were only a few scattered copies of the memorial. He opened it and looked at it. These few books already had Zhu's comments, and they only needed to be stamped.
These are memorials for the construction of water conservancy projects in various places. He read them and approved them very well.
At first I thought it was the chief minister, but when I looked carefully at the handwriting, it was not him. It was the prince who approved it.
Yu Wenhao was stunned for a long time, and then immediately ordered Eunuch Mu Ru to send his first assistant to see him.
After chatting with Lao Leng in the royal study for an hour, Yu Wenhao heard about what happened in the court in the ten days since he left, as well as the prince's plan to supervise the country. He was very shocked.
I knew my son was useful, but I didn’t expect it to be so useful, and that he was even better than him in some aspects.
In the evening, Yu Wenhao had been pondering on a problem, but he did not tell Lao Yuan because he felt that it would be a bit selfish if he did so.
However, he really felt that the prince was very good. Maybe he didn't handle some things very maturely. If he had more experience, he would be better.
With him here, the prince can rest assured to practice, but only when he is in power can he truly practice.
He thought about it for a long time, but saw that Lao Yuan had not returned to the room yet. After asking, he found out that she was busy in the small study.
He knew what she was busy with. When she came back, she said that a newly developed drug had begun trials, and the previously tested drugs had also begun to be put on the market. She came back with a lot of data to look at.
Thinking of this, he became more determined to delegate power, because only by delegating power could Lao Yuan do what he wanted to do.
Lao Yuan has been sacrificing her career for him, but as a smart and capable person like her, she should stand in the position she deserves.
Before, I always had to run in both directions, and couldn't leave for too long. It was very hard to come and go in a hurry.
If she could stay there longer each time she went back, she might be able to achieve more.
The night was as cold as water. He sat on the porch and looked at the crescent moon. Eunuch Mu Ru also sat beside him and dozed off.
"Muru, if you feel sleepy, go back and sleep. You don't need to guard here." Yu Wenhao said.
Eunuch Mu Ru sat upright and said, "I'm old, and if I'm not sleepy, I won't be able to sleep for long."
"You still say you're not sleepy? You can't even lift your eyelids."
"If you're not sleepy, just close your eyes and rest your mind." Eunuch Mu Ru drooped his eyebrows and had three layers of eyelids.
Yu Wenhao looked at the way he always said he was old but refused to accept it. Suddenly, he had a thought in his mind and asked: "Mu Ru, do you want to retire?"
"Retire? Retire? Why are you so anxious? When people die, they will naturally retire. Retire."
"You've been in the palace all your life, don't you find it boring?"
"Where can a slave go? A slave is at ease when he is by the Emperor's side."
"Then what if I go somewhere else?"
Eunuch Mu Ru tried his best to open his eyes and look at him, "Going somewhere else? Is it the place you go to every time? The Queen's real natal home?"
Eunuch Mu Ru knew many things, but he never asked.
"Well, that's right."
Mu Rugong said: "Anyway, wherever the emperor is, the servants will be there, or in other words, wherever the emperor wants the servants to be, the servants will be there."
"The sky is high and the sea is vast outside, you should go out for a walk."
Eunuch Mu Ru was silent. He had been in the palace for most of his life. What was the world outside? He had been there and wandered around the capital. In recent years, the farthest place he had been to was Meizhuang, to pay his respects to the Supreme Emperor.
After a long silence, he said: "The outside world is too dangerous. Old people shouldn't go anywhere. They can be easily deceived."
Yu Wenhao pulled him over and sat next to him, "Don't worry, if you really go outside, I will be with you."
Eunuch Mu Ru asked, "Will the princess go?"
"Princess goes sometimes."
Mu Rugong said: "If the princess doesn't go, the servant won't go. If the servant is outside, he won't worry about the princess."
"Old Mu Ru, as an elder you must know how to let go and let the children create their own world."
"That's wrong. No matter how high you go, don't you still have to have your own nest? Shouldn't there be someone guarding the nest?"
"In other words, in your heart, I am not as important as the princess?"
Eunuch Mu Ru opened his eyes, "How can the emperor ask this? The most important person in my heart is, yes, the princess. The main reason is that I am worried. I am afraid that I will not be with you for many days, and I don't know when I will get married in the future.
We can meet each other once, and when we can be together, just stay together, my slave is getting old."
Yu Wenhao looked at his hair, which was indeed much whiter and had many wrinkles. His age was clearly written on his face.
"Muru, next time I go out and take you with me, I will let you eat a lot of things you have never eaten before and see things you have never seen before. Oh, of course, I will also take you to the hospital for a physical examination."
Lao Yuan always talks about the elderly's health, so Lao Wu always thinks that the elderly need to be hospitalized for physical examination.
Lao Mu Ru has served the royal family for most of his life. If there is anything good that Yu Wenhao wants to share with him, well, Lao Leng and Hong Ye are not worthy of it.
They can still work for a few more decades. After a few more decades, take them for a physical check-up.
Lao Wu couldn't hide his thoughts. After Yuan Qingling came back, he asked tentatively, "Do you want to go back and settle down for half a year or even a year?"
"Huh?" Yuan Qingling raised her eyes, "What should I say?"
"When we go back this time, I asked Dabao to supervise the country. I have read the memorials he reviewed. One word, praise. His ideas are cutting-edge and steady. I also talked with Lao Leng. Lao Leng was full of praise for him. He was as good as I was back then.
Style.”
Yuan Qingling said with a smile: "So, you want to retire?"
"I will take advantage of my illness to semi-retire, and then I will take you to the Royal Hospital to recuperate."
Yuan Qingling leaned on his shoulder and said: "I can't give you too many ideas about this matter. You have to make your own decision. But if you feel that you need to seek other people's opinions, then you can ask the Supreme Emperor He
Your Majesty."
"Well, I really need to talk to them." Yu Wenhao raised his feet and looked calm, "I want to retire at my age. Isn't it a bit shameless?"
"No, you have been in office for many years, you have done a lot of practical things, and you are only recovering from illness. If Bao'er is not mature enough, you can recover from the illness."
Yu Wenhao nodded, he felt that Beitang might need a new boss to take a path of strengthening the country and enriching the people.
