I'm really not doing business

Chapter 794: Excessive love can easily turn into hatred
Zhu Yijun had a rare moment of leisure, thinking about the way he had come.

He lived his life like Zhang Juzheng, offending everyone he could. His path became narrower and narrower, and there was no way back!

Even if he wanted to give in, it was too late. If he took a step back, he would only be torn to pieces.

The bureaucracy had its own performance evaluation system, a draft list with names covered and filled in with blanks, four typical characteristics to ruthlessly purge those who occupied positions but did nothing, exile to Liaodong, Yingchang, Luzon, and Java to reclaim wasteland, and the magic sword of Hai Rui hanging high.

The scholar-official class no longer exclusively respected Confucianism, and began to allow a hundred flowers to bloom and a hundred schools of thought to contend. Zhu Yijun successively included mathematics, Xunzi, Guanzi, and the Hundred Schools of Thought in the imperial examinations, and vigorously established various polytechnic universities. Kowloon University would be launched soon, and the preliminary preparations had been fully completed.

In order to crack down on the powerful and rightist class, Zhu Yijun launched four terrible cases: the Zhang Siwei case, the Yanzhou Confucius Mansion case, the Xindu Yang family case and the Xu Jie case, and completely cleared out the powerful and rightist classes in Shanxi, Shandong, Sichuan and Songjiang prefectures with cruel and brutal means.

There are countless heads and blood debts.

The interests of the local gentry and the class of local nobles were deeply harmed by surveying and returning the land and punishing them three levels of punishment. The struggle situation in Zhejiang was the most serious, and even led to major cases such as the returning bandit group and the civil uprising in the three counties of Jiangxi.

These people were all members of the ruling class. Just as Zhang Juzheng had offended them in the past, the emperor also offended all of them.

The university student selection system that is to be implemented now will offend all the above-mentioned classes to death.

The Ming Dynasty had gradually passed the most dangerous time of the Wanli Reform. The new military honor group headed by Qi Jiguang, Li Chengliang, Yin Zhengmao, and Chen Lin, and the new army based on the elite soldiers of the Beijing camp and the Songjiang navy had been fully established, becoming the most important force behind the emperor and the mainstay.

The artisan class, tenants whose slavery was abolished, and untouchables became the new free people, and the emerging bourgeoisie was gradually becoming the new cornerstone.

A new order is gradually being established.

"Girl, do you think these lunatics who have gradually lost their political positions and economic advantages will become like they were before?" Zhu Yijun leaned back in the recliner and said with a relaxed look on his face.

Wang Yaozhuo asked doubtfully, "What did my husband say?"

"These lunatics who have gradually lost their political positions and economic advantages have colluded with foreign invaders, specifically the Japanese pirates, to cause a major defeat on the Korean battlefield." Zhu Yijun said, "It seems difficult to kill me at the moment."

The Wanli Reform was in full swing, like a blazing flame, burning these stubborn and conservative monsters.

Would they risk everything and create a huge military defeat in Korea to artificially interrupt the Wanli Reform?

This is something that is very likely to happen, and it is very simple. All one needs to do is to ignite all the gunpowder stockpiled by the Ming Dynasty in Korea. The Ming army, which relies on the advantage of firearms, is likely to fall into a huge disadvantage.

The Ming Dynasty was abandoning cold weapon warfare and turning to all-firearms warfare, and its reliance on gunpowder was increasing.

In the eyes of some court officials, Qi Jiguang was very flattering.

It is well known that His Majesty the Emperor has no military talent, and His Majesty himself admits it.

However, Qi Jiguang foolishly regarded the emperor's two political talents, namely, being good at farming and making money, as military talents.

He also came up with a whole set of theories with very rigorous logic, which made the officials of the Ming Dynasty call Qi Jiguang the biggest flatterer in the world!

If someone with no military talent can be artificially transformed into a military genius, even Wan Shihe has to stand aside!
Qi Jiguang has been promoting a new theory of war:

1: War revolves around the offense and defense of logistics. The battlefield often takes place on the transportation lines that determine logistics, which include roads and sea routes.

2. Logistics is the basis of hinterland warfare. The outcome of the hinterland warfare directly determines the outcome of the war on the front line. The weight of logistics will gradually increase as firearms are more widely used.

3. Logistics is the rational allocation of manpower and material resources. When they cannot be allocated rationally, morale will collapse, the army will be in disarray and will collapse without fighting.

4: The battlefield is ever-changing, but the essence of war is the competition of manpower, material resources and people's hearts.

5. If you can’t handle logistics well, you are definitely not a good general.

6: It is difficult for soldiers who are not well fed to fight bravely.

To sum up these six core theories, logistics determines the outcome of a war.

When Qi Jiguang was communicating with the Emperor, he also mentioned the final conclusions of these six theories:

Military victory does not mean political victory, but military failure will spread most quickly to political activities and lead to political failure.

Qi Jiguang wrote a new military strategy, "On War". In this era when military strategists were still focusing entirely on strategy and tactics, Qi Jiguang turned to new theories.

The two military books before Qi Jiguang were already a shining star in the long river of history. Qi Jiguang perfected his theory through practice and was destined to become the originator of firearms warfare!
The Ming army is completing a magnificent transformation from cold weapon warfare to firearms warfare. The Ming army can be invincible and unstoppable on the battlefield!
The danger from behind and the backstab from their own people would become even more deadly to the Ming army, which relied heavily on firearms in combat.

If the gunpowder is blown into the sky, the Ming army will be in real danger.

Wang Yaozhuo thought for a moment, nodded and said, "I think it's possible that your husband is worried about this. Isn't that what happened to the Joseon King Yi Sun?"

"Deposed King Yi Sun, regardless of the complete fall of Joseon and the brutal massacre of the people by Japan, wanted to go to Kyoto with the Japanese pirates to participate in the war. It is normal for him to do anything to maintain his position."

"There is also Zhu Wan who committed suicide during the Jiajing period. He wiped out the pirates on Shuangyu Island, but was slandered for killing innocent people and taking credit for his crimes. In the end, he could only commit suicide to show his determination."

Wang Yaozhuo grew up beside your Majesty. To where you are today, your Majesty has experienced two open assassinations, two fires, and one surprise attack. These are the paths your Majesty has taken.

Not everyone is willing to sacrifice their lives for the collective good; more people will choose to protect their own interests.

The last time Your Majesty was attacked was in Renhe County, Hangzhou Prefecture, Zhejiang Province, just a stone’s throw away from Qiantang County where the prefecture is located.

Wang Yaozhuo brought Zhu Changzhi to witness the fire with their own eyes. She never hesitated to speculate about the meat-eaters of the Ming Dynasty with the greatest malice, because they had never disappointed anyone when it came to disappointing people.

Those who eat meat are vulgar and cannot plan for the long term.

"We don't have any military talent, but we have one thing in mind: we have prepared enough gunpowder for the Ming army. If Korea runs out of gunpowder, we still have some in Tianjin! If Tianjin runs out of gunpowder, we still have some in Shandong! We can quickly replenish it to Seoul within three to five days!"

Zhu Yijun said complacently: "Although I am not good at military affairs, I am good at farming and making money!"

Being lenient with the enemy can be simply understood as a fear of insufficient firepower. Zhu Yijun provided too many artillery pieces, which caused certain troubles to the front line. On the surface, a lot of gunpowder was stored in Tianjin Wei.

But secretly, Zhu Yijun stored 300,000 kilograms of gunpowder in Penglai, and Chen Lin's naval troops were ready to transport it to Korea from Penglai at any time.

The gunpowder carried by the Ming soldiers is enough for five days of use. As long as the gunpowder supply is smooth, Zhu Yijun does not believe that the Japanese pirates can cause any trouble!

As the eldest son of the Penglai Huang family, Zhu Yijun not only attended gatherings and discussions in the name of the Huang family, he also did some business under the banner of the Penglai Huang family.

No matter what, Zhu Yijun must win!

"Your Majesty, the cabinet has jointly submitted this memorial." Feng Bao walked in from outside and handed the memorial to His Majesty.

Zhu Yijun opened it and read it for a long time before nodding and saying, "Sir, he is really amazing. No wonder Wang Ci Fu is so afraid of him."

The method of extending favors in official circles is somewhat vicious.

But it’s nothing. The long history has given the Ming Dynasty too much vertical experience. It is not a shame to learn from the wisdom of the ancestors. It is also part of the ancestral law.

"My wife, we have to go to Beidaying to review the troops. As for Zhier's martial arts learning, you should see what he thinks. Don't force him if he doesn't want to learn." Zhu Yijun stood up and prepared to leave for Beidaying to go about his daily business.

The emperor and the empress had a disagreement over Zhu Changzhi's martial arts training.

Wang Yaozhuo insisted that Zhu Changzhi learn martial arts, but Zhu Changzhi, who grew up in a honey pot, was somewhat reluctant. After all, it was too hard.

Zhu Yijun's meaning was to see what Zhu Changzhi wanted. If he didn't want to learn martial arts, then so be it. But it was really too hard, and he was asking for trouble by forcing himself to endure it.

Zhu Changzhi was the eldest son. In the Ming Dynasty, which had the inheritance law of "Huang Ming Zu Xun", as long as Zhu Changzhi did not commit any treasonous acts, the prince would eventually be his.

Zhu Changzhi was born a nobleman. The more hardships he endured, the more resentment he had in his heart. When Zhu Yijun was around, he kept his head down and did not dare to act rashly. But once Zhu Yijun was gone, Zhu Changzhi's rebellious behavior would flare up.

It turns out that the Wanli Emperor in the historical line drove away Qi Jiguang and liquidated Zhang Juzheng because he had accumulated too much resentment in his heart.

In fact, Zhang Juzheng was particularly afraid that the emperor would have some troubles in his heart, because there was no way to resolve the troubles in the heart of a noble person.

Zhu Yijun also meant this, so just let him do what he wants. If you push him too hard, it will only backfire.

"It's not up to him!" Wang Yaozhuo said stubbornly, "After a long time, he will get used to it. If he can't even endure this little hardship, he won't achieve anything great in the future!"

"If you are determined and resolute, you will become discouraged and weak. If you only do things halfway, you will lose the courage to face difficulties, become timid, and eventually lose the courage to face difficulties."

"Does your majesty want him to be a coward?"

The emperor has his own ideas and the empress has her own responsibilities as the mother of the country. Your Majesty is busy with all kinds of affairs and has no time to take care of Zhu Changzhi. Wang Yaozhuo must be ruthless. No matter how much resentment or hatred he receives in the future, he must be a qualified crown prince.

"This..." Zhu Yijun was silent. He took the initiative to learn martial arts for the military power. He couldn't sleep because he couldn't get the military power.

"Your Majesty, the Queen Mother felt sorry for your hard work in martial arts training, and you said to her: If I don't want to be boundless and persistent, I will be a coward."

"Your Majesty, do you want me to train a cowardly crown prince who has no beginning or end? I cannot agree to it, and I dare not agree to it." Wang Yaozhuo's pretty face was full of determination, and she threw a boomerang.

Zhu Yijun took a boomerang and realized that it tasted really bad!

"Oh my, today's weather is really nice, the sun is shining brightly."

"My wife has the final say in Zhi'er's affairs. My wife has the final say." Zhu Yijun looked at Zhu Changzhi who was playing Cuju with his sparring partner in the distance. He really tried his best, but failed to protect Zhu Changzhi's happy childhood.

He's only six years old and he's already starting to suffer.

Wang Yaozhuo acted in a businesslike manner, and every word she said was "Empress Dowager, Your Majesty, and I." Her meaning was very clear: the training of the royal heir must be strict, and if Your Majesty wanted to forbid them from practicing martial arts, then she would have to be deposed as the Queen.

"Zhang Daban, give a copy of Yao Guangqi's memorial about the Jile Sect to the Queen later. I'm going to Beidaying." Zhu Yijun got on the train, gave Zhang Hong some instructions, and then headed for Beidaying.

No matter how gentle a woman is, when she is tutoring her children, she will turn into an indescribable monster, who is so violent that it is impossible to look directly at, describe, or speak of it.

The plan to save Zhu Changzhi's happy childhood was declared a failure.

Only after Wang Yaozhuo received Yao Guangqi's memorial did he understand why the emperor was not so willing to let Zhu Changzhi practice martial arts.

Because Zhu Changzhi was not happy.

The Paradise Cult is an evil spirit that requires severing all relationships, including those with parents. This is obviously a whole set of perverse ideas.

Wang Yaozhuo could understand His Majesty's concerns. If he kept forcing Zhu Changzhi to do things he was unwilling to do, resentment would accumulate in his heart. The child would easily become gloomy, completely close off his own world, and not communicate effectively with his parents.

Ultimately, these compulsions make things worse, not better.

Excessive love can easily turn into hatred.

Wang Yaozhuo had seen everything about Zhu Yijun's growth, and he wanted to create a crown prince similar to the emperor, but this was likely to backfire. Because the emperor was willing, Zhu Changzhi was not very happy.

After reading it, Wang Yaozhuo thought of Li Chengqian, the crown prince of Emperor Taizong of Tang, Li Shimin.

Everyone placed too many expectations on Li Chengqian and put too much pressure on him, hoping that Li Chengqian would inherit everything from Emperor Taizong of Tang. This eventually led to a drastic change in Li Chengqian's temperament, making him withdrawn and even eventually committing rebellion.

Zhu Yijun does not approve of education without any pressure, as that would cultivate waste, but excessive pressure is also unnecessary.

"Alas, Zhi'er was born in an imperial family." Wang Yaozhuo closed the memorial, looking thoughtful.

She would never relax her education of Zhu Changzhi. As the first heir to the throne, Wang Yaozhuo would not be able to forgive herself if Zhu Changzhi grew up to be a waste.

She is the queen who rules the country. With such a noble status, her responsibility is to train a qualified heir to the empire.

But the emperor's idea makes sense.

She looked at Zhu Changzhi running in the sunshine. When he was playing Cuju, he would get up by himself after falling down and continue playing without any care in the world. He was in high spirits with a big smile on his face. He was very much like his father, full of sunshine.

Wang Yaozhuo decided to give Zhu Changzhi a holiday, allowing him to rest one day every three days and have fun as much as he wanted, but he still had to be strict with him when studying.

Combine work and rest, and know when to relax and work in moderation. If a string is stretched too tight, it will break.

The reason why Zhu Yijun interfered with Wang Yaozhuo's education was that Zhu Changzhi had not had a single day of rest since he started studying after the Chinese New Year. He was even harder working than Zhu Yijun, the donkey on top of a millstone.

Because Wang Yaozhuo saw that the emperor would not rest for a single day when reading, and he had been busy for fifteen years.

When Zhu Yijun's carriage arrived at Beidaying, he unexpectedly saw Zhang Juzheng, Wang Chonggu, Wang Guoguang and Shen Li. The four cabinet ministers were already waiting in front of Wuying Tower.

The emperor avoided seeing them, but he had to go to Beidaying every day. The four ministers discussed it in the cabinet and decided to go to Wuying Tower to block the door!
Emperor, where are you escaping to?
"Your Majesty, I wish you good health." Zhang Juzheng and his cabinet ministers paid their respects.

"No need to be polite." Zhu Yijun waved his hand and said, "It's sunny outside, let's talk inside the pavilion."

Zhu Yijun and the cabinet ministers had an in-depth exchange on the details of the policy regarding the Li Ju Law. The Li Ju Law was Zhang Juzheng's improvement on Wang Qian's suggestion. It opened up an opportunity for officials to advance to high positions. After being trained in the University Hall, if they still received high evaluations, they could be awarded special imperial examination titles and official positions.

Overall, it is about using clerks to counter the officials' objections, and this process will be long.

"Your Majesty, this is my solution. I still believe that the civil servant selection system is the key to the deepening of the Wanli Reform. It is a major national policy that is as important as the land return order. It must be implemented with great caution and must be done step by step without any mistakes or failures." Zhang Juzheng once again explained his position.

Officials are the entity of the court and the rules and regulations themselves.

Reforming the law without governing the officials is equivalent to no reform. Without governing the officials, any policy can be implemented incorrectly. The central government's decree itself can easily become a piece of waste paper in the process of reform. If the officials are not governed, the reform is doomed to fail.

The failure of Wang Anshi's reform and Fan Zhongyan's reform was due to their failure to govern officials.

Therefore, the law of selecting officials is as important as the order to return land to the land.

"This is a big deal. We should start from the imperial court, the Ministry of Revenue, and the Royal Institute of Technology and continue to accumulate experience." Wang Guoguang said solemnly, "Your Majesty, returning the land is something that every dynasty has done when it was opened up."

"But this is the first time in history that we have any experience to draw on. We must be careful and cautious in every step."

Shen Li leaned forward and said, "Your Majesty, I think that Yuan Fu's official promotion order, with small steps and quick progress, is much better than the students of the Polytechnic Institute fighting alone."

"Only the students of the academy are granted the title of Jinshi. They are alone and easily isolated and assimilated. But there are more officials who come from clerk backgrounds, so naturally they are not alone."

"What is Wang Ci Fu's opinion?" Zhu Yijun looked at Wang Chonggu.

Wang Chonggu immediately said, "I absolutely support the civil servant selection law. I will do it right away. I dare to ask Your Majesty to open the golden account book of Wenhua Palace and fill in the names of the civil servants who have passed the examination of the Ministry of Revenue this year. They will be enrolled in the accounting department of the Polytechnic Institute tomorrow."

"Your Majesty, I used to fight against the Japanese in the southeast, and I fought with Altan Khan in the northwest. As the military strategy says: Speed ​​is the most important thing in war."

"Hurry, make it a done deal before the courtiers can react. They can only keep on talking and cannot stop it."

Although Wang Chonggu could not defeat Zhang Juzheng, it did not mean that his dog fighting skills were weak. On the contrary, his dog fighting skills were very strong!
That is to say, Zhang Juzheng was following the path of the great Dao. His techniques could not defeat the Dao. How could techniques defeat the Dao?
Wang Chonggu has now found his own path, which is the path of the Labour Party.

If you want to accomplish this, you have to be quick. Before the opposing forces can form a combined force, you have to strike out with your fist and catch them off guard. At that time, it is the opponents who will be put in a passive position.

Time difference is extremely important in dogfighting.

The names on the draft list of examination results will be covered, while the names on the basic list will be filled in. The basic list is locked under the screen of official titles and the geomancy map of the world in the Wenhua Hall, and the key is in Your Majesty's hands.

"What do you think, sir?" Zhu Yijun looked at Zhang Juzheng and asked.

Zhang Juzheng thought for a moment and said, "Let's do it today. Wang Ci Fu is better at this than I am."

"Sir, take the key and get the base book. Return the key to me tomorrow." Zhu Yijun asked Feng Bao to get the key. The key was placed together with the emperor's seal, which was a symbol of power.

Feng Bao was the eunuch in charge of the seal, and he was in charge of the Wanli Emperor's treasure.

This was a gesture, the emperor showing that he still believed in Zhang Juzheng.

"I obey your order." Zhang Juzheng bowed his head and accepted the order. He took the keys and rushed to Wenhua Hall with the court officials to do his job.

Zhang Juzheng took the key and returned it the next day. At this time, Zhang Juzheng could actually do something, which was to check the number corresponding to the name of the disciple he cared about most and falsify the information for his disciple.

This was a good opportunity given by the emperor to allow Zhang Juzheng to commit favoritism and corruption. It was also part of the reward. After all, Zhang Juzheng was really carrying out the emperor's orders.

Zhang Juzheng did not cherish this opportunity. He met the eunuch Zhang Hong in Tonghe Palace and led three cabinet ministers to Wenhua Palace. He only took the list of clerks from the Ministry of Revenue and locked the golden tent.

The official screen is Zhang Juzheng's gift of visual office to the emperor. The golden account book is the core of the performance evaluation system and cannot be lost. It is the long-term strategy of the country.

Zhang Juzheng had no intention of breaking the rules he had set; this was one of the tools that would allow Your Majesty to control the court after his death.

"The Prime Minister is truly loyal to the emperor and the country." Wang Chonggu also sighed. It would be easier to do things after taking out the base file. Zhang Juzheng certainly understood the emperor's intention, but he did not protect his disciple from the wind and rain.

Zhang Juzheng said without hesitation: "Of course, my honor, disgrace, merits and demerits all depend on Your Majesty. Whether I, Zhang Juzheng, will be a sinner of the Ming Dynasty or a meritorious official in the future depends entirely on the final outcome of the Wanli Reform."

"I am the Marquis of Yicheng, who inherited military honors and lived and died with the country. As the Ming Dynasty grows, so will the Yicheng Marquisate."

Liang Menglong came and took away the basic register and started filling in the names in front of the auditing clerks of the Ministry of Revenue. Liang Menglong did not publicize it widely, but found Chen Xuehui, the Left Vice Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, and did not explain what it was, but asked Chen Xuehui to gather the clerks together.

After the clerk called the meeting, Liang Menglong began to call out names. Whoever's name was called was taken directly to the Royal Institute of Technology and the admission procedures were completed as quickly as possible.

These officials were almost scared to death and had no idea what was going on. They thought they were going to be taken to Caishikou to be beheaded, but they didn't expect they were going to be enrolled in school.

Before the court officials received the news, Liang Menglong had already finished the work!

After Zhu Yijun returned to the palace, he saw the key in Zhang Hong's hand.

Zhang Juzheng was loyal to the Ming Dynasty, loyal to the people, and equally loyal to the emperor. This was the only solution he had found to revive the Ming Dynasty in this era, after receiving thousands of years of education on the relationship between rulers and subjects.

"Sir, you are a very kind person." Zhu Yijun thought for a moment and said, "Feng Daban, ask Xu Jue to send the latest woven velvet waistcoat to you, and I can also send you some other gifts."

"I obey the order." Feng Bao obeyed the leader's order.

Zhu Yijun was dealing with the memorials sent by the cabinet today. He did not slack off, nor did he intend to slack off. It was his responsibility to make the Ming Dynasty great again.

"The review is finished!" Zhu Yijun stretched and finished processing the memorials, ending a day of hard work. The lights were already coming on.

Wang Yaozhuo dimmed the limelight, and the imperial study immediately became dim. She smiled and said, "Husband, are you done with your work?"

"Isn't this Queen Wang? What brings you here today? Come sit down." Zhu Yijun said with a hint of surprise, "You are dressed quite gorgeously."

Feng Bao had tactfully left the imperial study long ago, leaving only the empress and the emperor in the study.

Wang Yaozhuo had obviously dressed up carefully before coming. Her red lips were seductive and her mouth corners were slightly raised, with a faint smile, which made her look charming and gorgeous.

The slightly flushed face adorns her cheeks, like peach blossoms blooming in spring, adding a touch of shyness.

Her long eyelashes trembled slightly, and her eyes seemed to be able to speak, bright and affectionate.

She had long black hair tied into a bun, with an exquisite phoenix hairpin adorning her hair, and an amber hanging on it.

The amber was made by Zhu Yijun himself, and inside it was a love knot made of Zhu Yijun and Wang Yaozhuo's hair.

"My husband, I was only trying to cure my son, so I offended you. Please don't blame me." As soon as Wang Yaozhuo opened her mouth, her voice was like a clear spring flowing over rocks, light and agile, like crying and complaining, with a hint of sorrow.

As she spoke, she moved closer to Zhu Yijun and asked faintly, "Is my husband still angry?"

"Madam, you come here to apologize, but you come empty-handed?" Zhu Yijun said in feigned anger.

Wang Yaozhuo looked around playfully, as if a little shy, and gently lifted the hem of her skirt with one hand, and whispered playfully: "Husband, am I sincere?"

The silk lining of the skirt is made of gradient silk stockings with flower and bird patterns. The shapes of the flowers and birds are lively and vivid, and the dodo is tied with light blue velvet. It is beautiful and perfectly tightens the leg lines.

"What do you think, my husband?" Wang Yaozhuo's face was flushed, not because of blush, but because she was a little shy.

"It looks like it will be another fierce battle!" Zhu Yijun hugged Wang Yaozhuo and went to the back room of the imperial study, where there was a bathroom and a dragon bed.

Very sincere.

The next morning, at daybreak, Zhu Yijun's biological clock woke him up. He sat up, then lay down again, paused for a moment, and then sat up again.

"The spring night is short and the sun rises high. From now on, the emperor will not hold court early in the morning. Which emperor can withstand such a test!" Zhu Yijun, a time-tested feudal warrior, stood up with difficulty and prepared to leave the bedroom to wash and eat.

"Husband, aren't you bored?" Wang Yaozhuo asked softly, hiding in the quilt with a satisfied and tired look on her face. It had been so many years, and the emperor had used up all his strength and wished he could send her to heaven.

Wang Yaozhuo was very sure that the emperor had given his all yesterday, and he was truly brave enough to still get up and attend court today.

"Sickening? What?" Zhu Yijun was stunned for a moment, then he understood what it meant, and then he said with a smile on his face: "You and I are husband and wife, forever and ever."

"Get up."

"Oh, yes, I'm going too!" Wang Yaozhuo then remembered that she also had to attend today.

Today is the day for the public trial of the Taizhou Prefecture's returning bandit group case and the Jiangxi civil unrest case. The emperor will bring the empress to the Meridian Gate to supervise the public trial.
