Li Chen said in a dumbfounded voice: "You are making such a big fuss over such a small matter. Stop flattering me. Get out of here with the official document. If you write something like this again, you will go guard the gate outside the East Palace."
After Guan Zhiwei left, Li Chen continued to handle official duties.
He summoned the Three Treasures.
"The day before yesterday, the imperial court allocated 400,000 taels to Yangzhou for spring plowing. You send Jin Yiwei to check on the spot to see if anyone dares to stretch out his hands on the money. If so, chop it into pieces directly without any need to repay."
"I got all this money from my own wedding expenses. Anyone who dares to use this money will make a fortune by stepping on me, and I will kill his head."
The Three Treasures take orders.
Gong Huiyu has been observing silently from the side.
She had never been exposed to government affairs, nor had she ever seen the prince handle government affairs. She thought this would be a performance by the prince using his cunning scheming and cruel methods to control his subordinates.
But she found that she was wrong.
From Li Chen's handling of the first official document from the Ministry of Works to all the subsequent handling of government affairs, Gong Huiyu realized that government affairs are by no means scheming, but require clear logic and ideas for handling problems.
Moreover, it requires extremely high requirements for the layout planner to have a big-picture view.
Each decree needs to be handled from an overall perspective and try to find a balance point among the forces of all parties.
After watching it all morning, Gong Huiyu went from being careless at the beginning to Guan Zhiwei from the Ministry of Works. When she thought Li Chen was going to show his cruel side, in the end Li Chen just let it go with ease, and then to
Later, the more Gong Huiyu looked at it, the more he enjoyed it.
She found that Li Chen was very competent as a prince.
At least his policy ideas are from the perspective of the people.
Sometimes, when his own interests and the interests of the people conflict with each other, Li Chen will choose to sacrifice his own interests to benefit more people.
She was thinking that if all the officials of the Qin Empire were like Li Chen, then there would really be no place for the White Lotus Sect to survive in this world.
Thinking of this, Gong Huiyu couldn't help but feel a touch of worry between his brows.
In previous contacts, she saw a cunning, ruthless, and extremely wealthy Prince of the East Palace.
And today, she saw a diligent and experienced Crown Prince of the East Palace who loved the people.
The emergence of such a figure, who also holds the power to supervise the country, and ascends to the throne as emperor in the future is definitely not a good thing for the White Lotus Sect.
"Your Highness, it's time for lunch."
Wan Jiaojiao's voice woke up Li Chen and Gong Huiyu at the same time.
Li Chen stood up from a pile of memorial documents, stretched out, looked at the sky outside, frowned and said, "Is it already this hour? Before you know it, half a day has passed."
"Have the people from the official department arrived?" Li Chen asked.
"Here we are, waiting outside the East Palace."
Wan Jiaojiao was a little unhappy.
She felt that the people in the civil service department were very uninterested. They agreed to come in the afternoon, but they were already there at noon. Didn't this make it clear that she would not let her prince have a peaceful meal?
Seeing Wan Jiaojiao's thoughts, Li Chen smiled and said: "National affairs are important and cannot be delayed."
"Let the people from the kitchen bring the food. If I can't go there, I'll eat it in the Xi Zheng Hall. Let the people from the staff department come too. I'll talk to them while I eat."
Li Chen had already spoken, so Wan Jiaojiao naturally did not dare to disobey and immediately ordered someone to deliver the food.
When the food was delivered, Li Chen walked over and sat down, waving to Gong Huiyu who was still standing in the corner.
