Chapter 36

After the court was dispersed, Li Xiaoyao sat on the dragon chassis carried by sixteen eunuchs on their shoulders.

A group of palace maids dressed in light blue clothes followed behind, while Li Dequan followed closely to the right of the dragon chasing, introducing Li Xiaoyao to the courtyard in the harem.

After going to the Imperial Garden and several palaces, I learned that I lived in Chengming Hall in the future. Then, at Li Xiaoyao's request, Li Dequan took him to the Imperial Study.

Li Dequan stepped forward and pushed open the door of the imperial study room, and Li Xiaoyao walked in.

The inside is neatly displayed and spotlessly clean. On the small table on the right bed, several neatly arranged memorials attracted Li Xiaoyao's attention.

He walked over, took a memorial placed on the top, and turned it over.

"Emperor, these memorials were reviewed by the Prime Minister and several cabinet ministers after the death of the First Emperor. You don't have to read them anymore." Li Dequan next to him said respectfully.

After reading one book, Li Xiaoyao read several books in succession. Prime Minister Liu Guodong and several cabinet ministers seemed pedantic, but when dealing with the government, they did have their own unique features, which are their talents.

At this moment, Li Xiaoyao also had some new understanding of those old officials.

"Come on the pen and ink!" Li Xiaoyao waved his sleeves and sat on the bed.

"Your Majesty, you are..." Li Dequan was still asking, while Lin Xiao walked directly to the desk beside him and brought all the pens, ink, paper and inkstone over.

Now, Lin Xiao is the commander of the guard beside Li Xiaoyao, controlling the two hundred black armored soldiers who were left by Guo Da in the Royal Villa.

Lin Xiao polished the ink, Li Xiaoyao picked up the pen, and wrote five big words on a yellowed rice paper. Then, he folded the rice paper and handed it to Lin Xiao, saying, "Take it to Liu Guodong."

Lin Xiao took the rice paper and then left the imperial study room.

Li Dequan frowned and thought for a moment, and asked with a smile: "Your Majesty, do you want to keep Liu Guodong?"

"I don't have to say whether to stay or not. If Liu Guodong could understand the meaning of those five words, I believe that he would make his own choice." Li Xiaoyao smiled mysteriously and walked outside the imperial study room.

"Miss! Miss!"

Xiao Cui was full of joy and shouted while running.

Lin Zhiqing, who was sitting by the pond in a daze, looked back and asked with a sad look on her face: "Is something wrong with you when you were shocked?"

"Miss, I'm settled, I'm settled." Xiao Cui ran to Lin Zhiqing and said panting.

"What's the matter? Tell me clearly." Lin Zhiqing glanced at her.

"Miss, it's you and Prince Xiaoyao...ah... it's not right, it's your marriage date with Your Majesty." Xiao Cui said excitedly.

"I thought what was going on?" Lin Zhiqing turned his head in a low mood, supported his hands and looked at Chi Zhong.

Miss, what's wrong?

Yesterday, when she was in the Prince's Mansion, she wanted to marry Prince Xiaoyao as soon as possible! Why did she change her mind after just one day?

"Miss, do you don't like the emperor anymore?" Xiao Cui squatted down from the side and looked at her with a gaze.

"I don't know either." Lin Zhiqing held her mouth in her mouth and said sadly: "I always feel that he is different from what I imagined."

"When I had never seen him before, I thought he was a sloppy, short, and shameless rogue."

"Later, when I met him for the first time, I felt that he was the man I wanted to marry. His tall and handsome appearance, unruly and wild personality were all the types I like."

"But in the end, his unforgettable love for Qin Xiaotong broke my heart again. I really don't know what kind of person he is now."

"Is he worthy of my love?"

Xiao Cui listened to the feeling in the clouds and said casually: "Oh! Miss, don't be sentimental here. The master said, let you prepare and you will enter the palace tomorrow!"

"Ah!" Lin Zhiqing looked at Xiao Cui in surprise, and his heart swelled up.

Her face turned red and she said shyly, "Yes...but I... am not ready yet!"

"Oh! What else do you need to prepare? You just need to dress up beautifully and be responsible for passing on the family line to Your Majesty!" Xiao Cui said shyly.

"Xiao Cui!" Lin Zhiqing raised her voice and said shyly: "I mean, I'm not mentally prepared to marry him."

"Miss, you will enter the palace tomorrow. After entering the palace, you can't say such things anymore." Xiao Cui said very seriously.

"I understand." Lin Zhiqing pouted and turned to look at Chi Zhong. She and Xiao Cui could not communicate on the same channel.

Only she can understand the sorrow in her heart.

Maybe even she herself doesn't understand, she doesn't understand what she feels about Li Xiaoyao now.

Maybe it's jealousy, maybe it's jealousy.

Prime Minister's Office.

Butler Wu hurried into the study.

Several ministers in the court looked at him at the same time.

Liu Guodong frowned, and Butler Wu handed the rice paper in his hand to him.

"Is this?" Liu Guodong asked.

"Master, this is what Your Majesty just sent to you." Butler Wu said.

Several adults looked at each other and turned their eyes to Liu Guodong.

Liu Guodong frowned and opened the rice paper.

When he saw the five big words on the rice paper, he sat back on the chair with trembling hands, his face changing.

"Master, Lord, what is Your Majesty's writing?" the four adults asked in unison.

Liu Guodong handed the rice paper to Butler Wu and signaled him to hand it over to the four adults for their review.

After seeing the four adults one by one, their expressions on their faces were the same as those on Liu Guodong.

"Han Kingdom needs you." An adult murmured with emotion in his heart.

"My lords, your majesty is expressing his opinion to us." Liu Guodong sighed.

"Master, maybe Your Majesty is a wise ruler, but Your Majesty has no real power after all, and it is difficult for us to do something even if we stay in the court. Moreover, it is very likely that we will cause death." Lord Xia said worriedly.

At this time, another master said, "Mr. Xia, have you ever thought about what kind of situation your Majesty will be if we all resign from office?"

"But even if we stay, we can't help Your Majesty. Instead, we will become the flesh-filled thorn in the eyes of Lu Weizhi and Empress Dowager Lu." Lord Xia said indignantly.

"Mr. Prime Minister, the emperor thinks that since Your Majesty has the intention to keep you, it at least means that Your Majesty wants to do something. From this point of view, Your Majesty will never be willing to be a puppet of Empress Lu. Your Majesty has great ambitions in his heart, so the emperor is determined to stay and help Your Majesty with one arm."

Liu Guodong browed deeply, and after a moment, he said embarrassedly: "Since Your Majesty is looking at the old minister, I am willing to go through fire and water for him for the sake of the Han Dynasty. Even if I sacrifice my life, I will assist Your Majesty in charge of the government."

As soon as Liu Guodong finished speaking, several adults who had different opinions just now stood up and said, "We are willing to follow the Prime Minister and assist His Majesty in charge of the government affairs."

"Okay! I, Liu Guodong, thank you all here." Liu Guodong, who is in his fifties, seemed to be back more than twenty years ago, with a passion and a spirit.

Seeing Liu Guodong being so arrogant, several adults laughed and said, "Sir, it seems that if we have time, we have to find a good gentleman and teach us well. Our young Majesty has practiced calligraphy."
