Chapter 124 The dust has settled
Just when Minister Duan was about to ask someone to carry Lord Li back home, the Left Prime Minister Wang Qiao came back, and with him came Li Deyong, the chief eunuch around the emperor.
Everyone instantly forgot about poor Lord Li Tao. He just fell asleep and it was no big deal, so they just let him sleep.
All his burning eyes were fixed on the other Lord Li.
Although Li Deyong is a eunuch, he is the head of the Palace Province, a third-rank official. In addition to following the emperor on a daily basis and personally serving the emperor's food and daily life, he is also in charge of the Imperial Food Bureau, Imperial Pharmacy Bureau, Imperial Housing Bureau, Imperial Driving Bureau, and Imperial Chariot Bureau. His official position is not low and his power is considerable, equivalent to the external steward of the imperial palace.
So, it is not wrong to call him Lord Li. Of course, no one calls him that. When talking about other things in casual conversation, they call him "Eunuch Li".
As soon as everyone saw Li Deyong, they knew that the emperor was fine. If there was any problem, Li Neijian would always be by the emperor's side.
Li Neijian waved his whisk and shouted, "The emperor has worked hard for the country and is not in good health. Today's court session is cancelled. You gentlemen, please go home. If you have any questions, please submit a memorial."
After saying this, Eunuch Li hurried back.
However, the court officials did not leave. The emperor was already sick from exhaustion, so the court meeting time had to be adjusted.
Everyone said to Wang Xiang, Fu Xiang and Mu Sheng: "Please give us some advice, we can't let His Majesty work so hard any longer."
The leaders of these three civil and military officials could hardly keep a straight face.
Wang Xiang said: "Please go back first. I need to discuss this matter with Fu Xiang and General Mu first, and then come up with a set of rules."
"Thank you, Prime Minister Wang, Prime Minister Fu, and General Mu."
After that, everyone left one after another.
Minister Duan did not forget his good subordinate and ordered people to carry Lord Li away.
After everyone left, Mu Sheng and his friends also walked out, chatting as they walked.
Mu Sheng asked Wang Xiang: "Why did you take so long?"
"The Emperor is not in the West Side Hall, he is in Renshou Palace."
Renshou Palace is where the Empress lives. It seems that the Emperor is really fine.
Prime Minister Fu asked him, "Have you seen the emperor?"
Wang Xiang shook his head. "No. I went directly to the West Side Hall, and Li Deyong was waiting for me there. He took me to drink a cup of tea, and then we came out."
Mu Sheng, Fu Keming: "..."
The three of them looked at each other again, and Wang Xiang said, "Go back and write memorials. Without the need to attend court every day, our Shangshu Province will be even busier. General Mu, you have caused us a lot of trouble."
Everyone knows that he was the instigator.
Mu Sheng said: "Not having to go to court every day, how much trouble can we save? How much benefit can this little trouble bring?"
Both Prime Minister Wang and Prime Minister Fu laughed. Although this guy was honest, he was not mean at all.
On this day, Mu Sheng returned home earlier than usual, and he seemed to be in an exceptionally good mood. Even Mu Jinyan noticed it, and he looked at his father with his big, sparkling eyes and also smiled foolishly.
Yun Xi smiled and asked him, "Did the court meeting come to a conclusion?"
She actually followed the system throughout the whole process and almost laughed to death. Especially when Lord Li snored in the court, she laughed out loud. At that time, Mu Jinyan looked at her with a puzzled expression. Yun Xi quickly picked up the child and said, "I am so happy to see you. Our Ah Yan is getting cuter every day."
This is how I diverted the matter.
Yun Xi sighed in her heart, fortunately this Ming Dynasty was not the Ming Dynasty in her original world. If it was the Ming Dynasty of the Zhu family, Lord Li's behavior would be considered as a breach of etiquette in front of the palace, and he might be demoted several levels, and he would most likely never have to attend court again.
Mu Sheng smiled and said, "Yes. I will write the memorial myself today, and I will probably get the result tomorrow. It is God's will."
The system was laughing in Yun Xi's mind, "Isn't this God's will? That Lord Li is an assist sent by God, right?"
Yun Xi ignored the system. Her system was a serious infrastructure system at first, but recently, she didn't know what went wrong, and it became more and more lively and gossipy, causing her to eat a lot of gossip.
She said to Mu Sheng, "That's great. We don't have to get up so early in the future. Getting up before dawn every day is really too tiring."
After breakfast, Mu Sheng took Mu Jinyan out. Before leaving, he suddenly remembered the medical book. Yun Xi said that she got the medical book by chance, and she didn't know if it was a serious medical book. If she just read it for fun, it would be fine. If she wanted to use it after reading it, she had to be careful.
It seems that he needs to find a reliable doctor to take a look at Yun Xi's medical books and examine them for her. If there is no problem, he can continue to read them. If there is a problem, he can replace them with a few more books for her.
But now, let’s deal with the memorials first, and then talk about the medical books.
Mu Sheng arrived at the government office, handed Mu Jinyan over to Master Wu, and went into seclusion to create. After finishing the memorial, he went to the palace again. The emperor had already appeared in the East Side Hall, and the two prime ministers were even faster than him and had already arrived.
After the memorial was submitted, the emperor took a look at it and asked his left and right ministers to help him draft an edict.
In front of his trusted ministers, the emperor did not need to act. He drank tea and read books calmly, while three ministers discussed in a low voice how to write the decree to change the frequency of court meetings, so as to highlight the emperor's diligence, love for the people, hard work for the country, and care for his subordinates. In short, the people and future generations should not read any intention of the emperor to be lazy.
The result was that the court session was changed to once every five days, and the time for court session was pushed back by one hour.
After two revisions, the emperor was satisfied and then he officially wrote it on the imperial edict and stamped it with his imperial seal.
"It will be read out tomorrow morning."
