Lunch was served quickly, and while it was steaming hot, Yinzhen ate the meal with an expressionless face.
In front of him was Wang Guodong, the governor of Hunan. After thanking him, he was given a seat.
Yinzhen ate while listening to Wang Guodong's report.
He raised his hand and ordered the eunuch serving the kitchen to fill a bowl of soup and send it over.
Before Wang Guodong's buttocks got hot from sitting, he immediately jumped up again. He took the bowl with fear and fear, raised his hands above his head and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Yinzhen nodded slightly, pressed his hand down and said, "Sit down."
Wang Guodong sat down and did not put down the bowl of soup. He was still reporting.
Yinzhen sighed, and suddenly asked abruptly: "Let me ask you, what are the important tasks of being an official?"
Wang Guodong was caught off guard and hesitated for a long time.
Yinzhen's face was as calm as a wave, and he said slowly: "The only way to govern the world is to employ people. The rest are all branches and leaves. It is difficult to be a king, and it is even more difficult to be a minister. No one is perfect, but a governor is originally extremely complicated, difficult and a headache.
The position cannot be filled by being cautious and diligent."
Wang Guodong heard that the tone of the words was wrong and said quickly: "I am scared!"
Yinzhen raised his hand to block what he was going to say next, and continued: "Although there is no need to prepare people for employment, only for the two positions of governor and governor, they must be versatile so as not to make any mistakes."
Wang Guodong was a coward, and he only wanted to make sure everything was done as an official. When the emperor said this, he knew that the emperor already disapproved of him.
Sure enough, Yinzhen said: "You can't expand your knowledge. It's not helpful to the place and you're not qualified."
He simply said this and transferred Wang Guodong to a vacant post.
When Wang Guodong came out of Jiuzhou Qingyan Hall, his steps were shaky, his face was pale and pale, and his eyes were red.
Su Peisheng looked pitifully at the side and stretched out his hand to support him.
Recently, the emperor likes to have ministers come in to ask questions during meals, and he has demoted several ministers in the past few days.
Su Peisheng has watched today's scene alone several times.
This lunch looks like it's going to be a Hongmen banquet, he thought.
After lunch, Yinzhen did not stop for a moment and went to the Qinzheng Qinxian Hall. The military aircraft's office at the Old Summer Palace was located here. Under the shade of greenery, the country's most confidential secrets were discussed.
The emperor was discussing inside. Su Peisheng was a eunuch and was not allowed to enter. He was twirling his hands outside with his sleeves. Naturally, some court ladies who wanted to please him had already brought chairs, tables, tables, teapots and pastries, but Su Peisheng blasted them away with his sleeves.
He faintly heard the emperor raising his voice from inside: "In the eleven years since I took the throne, among the close relatives and ministers in the imperial court, you are the only one who has not been separated for a day. You and I are emperors and ministers, but we are close friends."
These words were probably meant for Zhang Tingyu. Su Peisheng was thinking about it when he looked up and saw Xiao Zizi running over beside the fifth elder brother.
Su Peisheng immediately understood in his mind that when Little Yezi came, it was the fifth elder brother who came.
Mostly it was about his wife and concubines.
Su Peisheng reached out and patted his neck, then lowered his voice and said to Xiao Zizi: "What kind of place is this? The emperor is still discussing important military and political matters inside!"
Little Yezi's eyes turned quickly, and he said tentatively: "Brother Five wants to pay his respects to the Emperor! Zhengda Guangming and Jiuzhou Qingyan Palace both ran away, and they walked around in circles before they found this place."
As he spoke, his eyes looked over Su Peisheng's shoulders and inside.
Su Peisheng didn't reach out - it would have been too bad for him to do it himself.
He just glanced at Xiao Chenzi.
Xiao Chenzi came up immediately to talk and persuade Xiao Zizi away.
Su Peisheng shook his head, thinking that fortunately, this little leaf was still the most popular person around the fifth elder brother. The master lost his sense of propriety and didn't know how to help restrain and persuade, but just followed it blindly.
In the Qinzheng Qinxian Hall, Yinzhen continued: "Between monarchs and ministers, sincerity is the most important thing. How can I not know that loving you is hard work? I am no longer in such a hard-working age. It is best to stay up late at night to do business.
If you hurt someone, you should take good care of your body and work hard to serve me for a few more years!"
His tenderness made Zhang Tingyu burst into tears.
Xiao Chenzi felt goosebumps all over his body when he heard it.
In the evening, Yinzhen came over to Tiandi Family Spring Festival. Ji Ling was playing shuttlecock with her daughter in the front yard. After measuring her summer clothes, she found that her waist was thicker and her shoulders were wider when compared with the measurements from last year.
Changes like this are made day by day, little by little. If it is not recorded consciously, the person involved will not be able to notice it at all.
So she decided to lose weight by playing shuttlecock.
Originally, she wanted to skip rope, but the third princess had recently become obsessed with shuttlecock playing. Ji Ling thought that it was all about sports, so it would be better to play with her daughter. Mother and daughter would be happy together.
Besides, as long as you exercise, it will be useful for losing weight.
The shuttlecock that was being played was specially provided by the Ministry of Internal Affairs. It was chosen in the color that the third princess liked, pink and white. The copper coin plate underneath was also wrapped in silver silk - Ji Ling originally did not recommend using this color, light color
It's too intolerant of getting dirty, but my daughter likes it, so I let her do it.
The third princess's shuttlecock kicking posture is very beautiful, not only dexterous, but also graceful. Sometimes she can even make a pose after kicking, which is not like kicking the shuttlecock, but like dancing.
In the courtyard, the eunuchs and maidens gathered around and cheered: "The third princess played well! The third princess played well!"
The third princess turned around and glanced at Ji Ling proudly. The pink shuttlecock was dangling on her toes.
She exerted a slight force on her waist and raised her toes, and the shuttlecock jumped into the air, drew a beautiful arc in the air, and flew straight towards Ji Ling.
Qixi and Evian both laughed and held Ji Ling back a few inches. When Ji Ling saw that the shuttlecock had flown in front of the door, he instinctively reached out and grabbed the shuttlecock.
The third princess smiled and shouted: "Mom, we are playing shuttlecock, how can we catch it with our hands?"
The surrounding slaves all laughed.
Ji Ling stretched out her hand and threw the shuttlecock into the air and kicked it up skillfully. She was still wearing flowerpot-soled shoes, which frightened Qixi and said quickly: "Master, please change to a pair of shoes. Don't be in a hurry! Be careful."
My feet are sprained!"
Ji Ling kicked a few times, panted and stepped aside. Sure enough, he went into the back room and changed into a pair of flat loafers and came out.
After kicking for a while, Yinzhen came over.
Before he entered the main entrance of Tianjiachun, he heard cheers and laughter inside. The eunuch who was singing the newspaper was about to speak out when he raised his hand to stop him.
Yinzhen walked in with his hands behind his back. As soon as he entered, a furry thing flew towards his face.
Yinzhen subconsciously turned sideways to avoid it, raised his hand and grabbed the thing in his hand, and then he saw clearly that it was a shuttlecock.
Behind Ji Ling, a group of people came over and knelt down to say hello to him. Yinzhen saw that she was out of breath, couldn't speak smoothly, and had a layer of fine beads of sweat on her forehead, so he reached out and helped her up: "Today,
I'm really excited, why do you want to play this?"
Ji Ling took the handkerchief Qixi handed over, wiped her sweat, raised her face and said with a smile: "I have gained a lot of weight recently, and I want to do some exercise. It just so happens that Xi'er likes to play this, so I will accompany her."
