The emperor's sedan chair and ceremonial guards left Jiu'an Hall in a grand manner and headed towards the tower of the imperial city.
Chai Yan still followed on the side of the sedan chair, and also followed by Pei Yang, Xu Mao and other personal eunuchs.
Also because he had eaten and drank enough, Chai Yan suddenly yawned while walking.
Pei Yang, who was standing next to him, saw this and whispered quickly: "Master Chai, please don't be rude before your Majesty comes."
Chai Yan quickly restrained himself, nodded and said: "Ah, I'm sorry, I couldn't hold it back for a moment..."
Unexpectedly, as soon as Chai Yan finished speaking, Liu Lang stuck his head out in the sedan carriage and said to Pei Yang: "What does it matter? Chai Yan rushed back to the capital all night without rest, and he just helped me teach those Piz barbarians a lesson."
, do you want to take care of me even if I yawn?"
Pei Yang was shocked and quickly lowered his head and said: "I don't dare, I don't dare..."
Xu Mao, who was following him, saw that Pei Yang was embarrassed, and immediately snickered in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face, and he still looked like it had nothing to do with him.
At this moment, Pei Yang also secretly re-evaluated Chai Yan's importance in the emperor's heart. He also understood that he must not talk about such trivial matters in the future.
Liu Lang leaned slightly, leaning on the side of the sedan chair, and said to Chai Yan: "If you are really sleepy, you don't have to accompany me. Go home and rest early."
Chai Yan shook his head and said: "No, Your Majesty, I'm not really sleepy. It's because I just ate a lot and my body's appetite hormones were reduced, so I couldn't help but yawn. I'll be fine after a while."
"Appetite... chicken speed?" Liu Lang asked in confusion: "Is it because you ate too much chicken?"
Chai Yan said with a smile: "No, Your Majesty, it's appetite hormone, the hormone of excitement, the element of plain clothes... Your Majesty, after we eat a meal, the large amount of sugar we consume will reduce this appetite hormone."
If there is less secretion of appetite hormones, people will feel sleepy.”
Liu Lang understood immediately and nodded: "I understand, that is to say, the more appetite hormones, the less sleepy a person will be, and conversely, the less appetite hormones, the more sleepy a person will be, right?"
"The emperor is absolutely right," Chai Yan said.
Liu Lang suddenly understood: "No wonder the hungrier a person becomes, the more energetic he becomes, and the fuller he becomes, the more sleepy he becomes. It turns out that this appetite hormone is at work."
"Yes, yes, the emperor is right, it is causing trouble." Chai Yan smiled and nodded.
Liu Lang looked ahead for a while, then suddenly turned around and asked again: "Chai Yan, you know all this, why don't I know anything about it?"
Chai Yan said respectfully: "Your Majesty, you don't need to know these things. You only need to know how to govern the country, how to stabilize the people, and how to strengthen the country. The rest can be left to the ministers."
Liu Lang nodded and said with emotion: "You are right. It is not so easy to learn how to govern the country, stabilize the people, and strengthen the country. Since I became the emperor, I have been thinking about these every day!"
After saying that, Liu Lang pointed to his temples and asked, "Did you see that I have a few white hairs sprouting out..."
Chai Yan immediately said: "Your Majesty, please take good care of the dragon body and don't overwork yourself!"
"I don't know how to take care of myself, but the world's affairs are far more numerous than I imagined. If I slack off for a day, I will be overwhelmed by what I have accumulated and what will happen tomorrow and the day after tomorrow.
! Only now do I realize how powerful my father is..." Liu Lang was deeply touched.
Chai Yan thought, "I'm such a good boy. You complained to me like this on the first day you ascended the throne. Fortunately, there are no other ministers here, otherwise I would definitely have to admonish you."
Chai Yan could only comfort him and said: "Your Majesty, don't think so. You have just become the Emperor and you haven't figured out many things yet. As time goes by, you will become more comfortable. Practice makes perfect in everything!"
"
Liu Lang immediately became happy: "Haha, Chai Yan, Chai Yan, you are so simple and direct, you actually comforted me with practice makes perfect... Hahaha, interesting, interesting..."
Chai Yan smiled and did not answer the question. In fact, there was no need to answer the question. It was better to leave it at that.
To be honest, Chai Yan also understands that the profession of emperor is not easy, and it is even more difficult for a good emperor. You have to be free but you don’t have freedom. You can’t just go wherever you want. You have to deal with state affairs and government affairs in the palace every day, which is tiring and tiring.
, if you don’t do it well, you may end up suffering from mental illness.
Suddenly, Liu Lang said: "Chai Yan, if you don't do this, don't stay in the Wude Department in the future. Come and be an official in the court, whether it is the Ministry of Husbandry or the Ministry of War. In short, you can choose any of the six departments."
I promise, what do you think?"
Chai Yan waved his hands hurriedly and said sincerely: "No, no, no, please forgive me, Your Majesty. I don't know anything. I'm afraid I won't be able to do anything well if I go to the Sixth Department. Wude Division is more suitable for me."
, please, Your Majesty, please spare me."
Liu Lang looked at Chai Yan with wide eyes, and then shook his head in disbelief: "Did I hear you right? I found an excuse for you to be promoted to an official, but you are still unwilling? Haha, Pei Yang, Xu Mao
, have you heard that he doesn’t want to!”
Neither Pei Yang nor Xu Mao answered. They knew that some words were difficult to answer, so it would be better to just be dumb listeners.
Chai Yan smiled awkwardly and said: "Your Majesty, if you want to promote a low-ranking minister, the low-ranking minister will naturally be eager to do so. But everyone has their own strengths and weaknesses. Let me just talk about it. I am tired of doing rough work.
Living is okay, but doing mental work is really not enough
......So instead of disappointing the emperor and regretting it, it is better to stay in the Wude Department honestly. If you have to fight with someone in a duel next time, just say a word and I will definitely go through fire and water.
Not a word of complaint!”
"Okay, okay, stop talking to me about this, do you think I can't hear it?" Liu Lang glanced at Chai Yan, paused and said, "You're just lazy!"
Chai Yan hurriedly lowered his head and said seriously: "Your Majesty is right. Not only am I lazy, I am also extremely stupid. When I say that I am as stupid as an ox, I am talking about you."
"Go, go, go, the more you talk, the more you get lost..." Liu Lang waved his hand.
After hearing this, Pei Yang and Xu Mao were also amused by the monarch and his ministers.
After a while, Liu Lang asked again: "To be honest, Chai Yan, your team in Yaozhou made great contributions this time. They defeated the bandits, found a new gold vein, and helped me lay the groundwork for suppressing the Youlong tribe."
, I don’t even know how to reward you... tell me, how do you want me to reward you?"
Chai Yan smiled and scratched the back of his head and said: "Your Majesty, regarding my marriage..."
As soon as the words left his mouth, Liu Lang interrupted: "You don't need to talk about this matter anymore. As early as when I allowed my sister-in-law to go to Yaozhou with you, your affairs were already decided in my heart! Don't worry, I'll be here soon.
I will help you get married! Tell me something else..."
Chai Yan suddenly felt happy and relieved, so he changed his words and said: "Your Majesty, I have taken in five nursing homes this time, and all of them are quite capable..."
"You have your own house, and you must have a nursing home! Besides, it's a good thing to be able to fight. What's wrong?" Liu Lang asked.
Chai Yan said: "I am bold and want to ask the emperor to nod and allow me to include the five of them in the Wude Department, so that they can be assigned to me in the future."
"What's so difficult about this?" Liu Lang said with a puzzled look on his face: "Do you need to tell me about such a trivial matter? Just tell Gu Zhengbang, it'll be fine..."
Chai Yan immediately said: "Go back to the emperor, I have already told you..."
Liu Lang was stunned for a moment and asked, "He doesn't agree?"
"Uh... I don't completely agree yet." Chai Yan said with a smile.
"Why don't you agree?" Liu Lang asked.
"Go back to the emperor, because the five of them...are from the Shi Kingdom." Chai Yan replied carefully.
Liu Lang was slightly surprised and asked firmly: "The Shi Country you are talking about is the Shi Country that was destroyed by the Piz Country more than two years ago?"
