Chapter 858: Surprise, the body is honest
Xiao Tianyao thought of thousands of possibilities, but he didn’t expect that Lin Chujiu…will not open the door!
“Let’s talk about it tomorrow. I’m going to bed.” Lin Chujiu didn’t even ask who was at the door and simply said. Xiao Tianyao stood at the door, dumbfounded.
If she does not open the door, where will the surprise of seeing him come from? Where will the excitement come from?
*Papa* Xiao Tianyao slapped the door frame heavily to express his dissatisfaction.
This woman can always spoil his good mood.
“Who?” Lin Chujiu’s doubtful voice came from inside the room. In Xiao Wangfu, the servants would not dare to knock on the door like that.
“Besides benwang, who else could it be?” Xiao Tianyao was unhappy, very unhappy. Lin Chujiu ruined his surprise, and also ruined his good mood.
“Wangye!” Lin Chujiu, who was in the room, was surprised but not happy. She tripped over the chair when she got up, but her clumsiness pleased Xiao Tianyao.
Although Xiao Tianyao who was standing outside the house didn’t see it, he could imagine Lin Chujiu’s embarrassment just by hearing her voice. He was happy in his heart, but Xiao Tianyao didn’t show the slightest bit on his face, and even pretended to be serious: “Hurry up! Why do you look like a child in panic?”
Lin Chujiu ignored Xiao Tianyao, hurriedly opened the door, and saw Xiao Tianyao standing outside the door. The shock on Lin Chujiu’s face has not recovered:
“Wangye, why are you back?” Didn’t he say he was so busy that he don’t even have time to eat? Don’t tell her that he was passing by again.
“Benwang is back to accompany you to eat.” Xiao Tianyao ignored Lin Chujiu’s shocked eyes and walked in with the food box.
Lin Chujiu stood there in a daze, and once suspected that she had misread: What is Xiao Tianyao carrying was it a food box, the kind of food box that contained vegetables?
Was it dark that she couldn’t see clearly, or was there something wrong with her eyes?
“What are you still doing in a daze, why don’t you come here quickly, do you want me to wait for you?” Xiao Tianyao turned around and saw Lin Chujiu still standing at the door. He shook his head amused.
Was she that happy?
Women were indeed duplicity, with all kinds of resistance in their mouths, but their bodies were very honest.
“Wangye, why are you back?” Lin Chujiu turned around but didn’t close the door. She didn’t intend to keep Xiao Tianyao overnight.
The relationship between her and Xiao Tianyao was not as cold as it was before, but it was not as good as it should be. They were sharing the same bed, which felt weird. Anyway, she was very uncomfortable.
“It’s getting late, shouldn’t benwang come back?” Xiao Tianyao took out the food from the food box, put it on the table, took out two glasses, and filled it with wine: “Sit down and have a drink with benwang.”
“This dish looks familiar.” Lin Chujiu looked at the dishes on the table and vaguely guessed some of them, feeling a little awkward.
She wasn’t angry, she was just a little disappointed. Housekeeper Cao made too much fuss, alarming Xiao Tianyao because of such a trivial matter, it was insignificant.
However, watching Xiao Tianyao come in with vegetables, she was still a little happy in her heart. What was wrong with her?
“The dishes personally arranged by wangfei look familiar?” Xiao Tianyao raised his cup and looked at Lin Chujiu with a half-smile.
Lin Chujiu blushed. She always felt that Xiao Tianyao’s eyes contained a lot of meaning, but she couldn’t figure it out for a while and didn’t know how to answer, so she had to sit down opposite Xiao Tianyao first.
As soon as Lin Chujiu sat down, Xiao Tianyao said slowly: “As soon as benwang entered the palace today, Prime Minister You and the six ministers handed over the power. Ziwen and Zian also cooperated very well, and there was no chaos from the beginning to the end.”
“After the ministers reported the government affairs, they stayed in the palace for 2 hours to help me familiarize myself with the government affairs. They gave me what I asked for, and they answered whatever I asked. There was no trace of impatience at all.”
“Unexpectedly, things are going so smoothly, so benwang wanted to start the work quickly and solve the backlog of government affairs one by one. However, this is not the case, no matter how talented benwang is, it is the first time I come into contact with government affairs. No matter how knowledgeable benwang is, it is impossible to understand all the affairs of the Six Departments. It’s good that there are rules and regulations, and the old rules of previous years can be referred to, but those affairs can be solved by the Six Departments themselves, so how can they be backlogged?”
“The papers on the backlog are all difficult and urgent matters. These matters not only need to be dealt with as soon as possible but there are no precedents to follow, no rules to follow. Even if I want to ask, I can’t find anyone to ask, and I don’t know who to ask. “
“Both the government and the public agree for benwang to be the regent, and they said that they will fully cooperate when benwang takes over the government affairs. Under such circumstances, if benwang can’t even handle a lot of government affairs, and cannot guarantee the stability of the country, then it is my lack of ability. At that time, even if benwang bears the title of the regent, it will not be of much use.”
A regent who has military power but cannot handle government affairs was just a warrior in the eyes of the world. It was not enough to rely on the bravery of a warrior to govern the country.
Lin Chujiu listened patiently to Xiao Tianyao’s words. When Xiao Tianyao finished speaking, Lin Chujiu said without hesitation: “I believe you will be able to handle the country’s affairs perfectly.”
In Lin Chujiu’s point of view, although Xiao Tianyao was not invincible, he will never be troubled by such trivial matters. So far she has not seen anything that Xiao Tianyao cannot do.
“Benwang also believes that such a small matter will not trouble me.” Xiao Tianyao raised his glass calmly and confidently, not at all intimidated by the predicament in front of him.
“The small actions of the officials under Prime Minister You and Prime Minister Lin are just afraid that I will be arbitrary and domineering, and rob them of their power. So they took the opportunity to embarrass me and want me to understand that political affairs are not so easy to handle. I still need their assistance. If I want to handle government affairs well, I have to reuse them.”
Xiao Tianyao paused, and raised his glass as his eyes were full of sarcasm: “Of course, benwang is not such an easy person to bully. If they give benwang their power today, tomorrow benwang will be able to empty them.”
He stayed in the palace to handle official affairs, not because he didn’t know how to deal with them, but because he wanted to deal with all the backlog of government affairs in the shortest possible time so that the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs will be caught off guard.
Didn’t those people think that he, a warrior can’t handle government affairs?
Didn’t those people think he couldn’t do it without their help?
Didn’t those people think, their weight was heavy?
Didn’t those people think that the emperor was a wise and benevolent monarch?
Didn’t those people think that they can only be loyal to the emperor after receiving the emperor’s kindness?
After tomorrow, he will let those people see if he only knows the martial arts of leading troops to fight. Let them see if the country cannot function without them and see how loyal they were to the emperor.
He, Xiao Tianyao, has never been a good person. He will repay revenge for revenge, and repay kindness for kindness. Those ministers who dared to trip him up secretly, and dared to see his jokes, he will deal with them one by one.
Back then, when he was only fifteen years old, he was able to deal with the veterans one by one. How could he not deal with these civil servants?
He gave the Emperor enough face, didn’t use radical means to break into the city, and he didn’t dare to ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor.
Not because he doesn’t dare to claim the throne, nor does he lack that ability, he just disdains it.
The Eastern Country’s throne was just something easy to obtain for him, he doesn’t need to snatch it… …
