Chapter 841 Extra: Reunion

We haven't seen each other for five years, and I have so much to talk about.

Jiang Shaohua listened with a smile, and when Chen Jinyu was talking until his mouth was dry, he poured a cup of tea for Chen Jinyu.

Chen Jinyu didn't hesitate to drink up the tea and continued to talk enthusiastically.

Suddenly, two little heads popped over.

One is a beautiful and heroic little girl, who is a replica of Jiang Shaohua.

The other was a handsome boy with thick eyebrows and big eyes, looking at Chen Jinyu with curiosity.

Chen Jinyu's voice suddenly stopped.

Jiang Shaohua turned around and laughed: "Bao'er, Kang'er, both of you come here."

Baoer and Kangger came over hand in hand.

"Kang Ge'er, these are your parents." Jiang Shaohua said with a smile, "Why don't you pay your respects quickly?"

Kang Ge'er had been in the palace since he could remember, and he was with Sister Bao'er every day. He saw Jiang Shaohua every day. When Marquis Changning came back, they were like a family of four. In Kang Ge'er's heart, he had long secretly regarded Jiang Shaohua and Cui Du as his own parents.

Now, his real parents suddenly came back and looked at him with tears in their eyes. He felt a little uncomfortable.

Kang Ge'er was an obedient and well-behaved child. Although he felt unfamiliar with the situation, he still called them dad and mom obediently.

Chen Jinyu's eyes were red as she hugged her son in her arms.

Ma Yaozong calmed down a little and whispered, "Your Majesty, I want to take Kang Ge'er back to stay for a few days."

Jiang Shaohua laughed: "Just take him back and stay as long as you want. Kang Ge'er is your son, I have no intention of snatching him away."

Ma Yaozong immediately smiled and said, "Kang Ge'er is the prince's companion, and he should accompany His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to study in the palace. I will let him stay at home for five days, and then send him to the palace after five days."

My son’s future is the most important.

Seeing that Ma Yaozong spoke firmly and frankly, Jiang Shaohua said no more and smiled and ordered: "Take Kang Ge'er back with you. I will give the Prime Minister a few days off. You and your family can spend a few days together."

When Kang Ge'er left, he was reluctant to leave. He pulled Bao'er's sleeve and whispered, "Sister Bao'er, do you want to stay with me in the Chen Mansion for a few days?"

Baoer and Kang Ge'er are inseparable. Kang Ge'er is leaving, and Baoer is reluctant to let him go! Hearing this proposal, Baoer's eyes lit up and turned to look at Jiang Shaohua.

Jiang Shaohua smiled and said, "If you want to go, go ahead! You've grown up and never been out of the palace to play, so it would be nice to stay there for a few days."

Baoer was overjoyed, and she and Kangger walked out of the palace hand in hand and got into the carriage.

Childhood sweethearts, innocent and innocent, that's what it's like.

Chen Jinyu saw it all and couldn't help but smile at Ma Yaozong.

The family is reunited and filled with joy.

"Jin Yu has become more stable, and Yao Zong has also become more calm." Prime Minister Chen smiled and praised: "This shows the benefits of going out of the capital for training."

Chen Jinyu laughed and said, "I'm almost thirty years old, and grandpa still treats me like a little girl." Prime Minister Chen laughed and said, "In front of grandpa, you will always be a little girl."

After the sumptuous dinner, Baoer and Kanger were taken to rest and settle down. Prime Minister Chen kept his granddaughter and grandson-in-law to talk: "The emperor has the idea of ​​inspecting Daliang. After this year, he will probably go out of the capital for inspection."

"When the time comes, you two will travel together as a companion."

Chen Jinyu was mentally prepared: "The emperor wrote to me before and mentioned the inspection of Daliang. Now Daliang is stable and the court is stable, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is growing up. After this year, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will be ten years old."

"When the emperor was ten years old, he led his personal guards to suppress the bandits in Li County and inspected fourteen counties to win the hearts of the people. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is smart and capable, and is no less capable than when the emperor was young. With His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in charge of the palace, and with the support of my grandfather and Minister Feng, there shouldn't be any trouble."

The Empress Dowager Zheng has passed away, and the elderly Prime Minister Wang is also seriously ill and is just trying to get by. Minister Zhou has resigned, and Shen Mu is about to be transferred to the capital to serve as the Minister of Works. The court is full of loyal ministers, and the emperor has nothing to worry about after leaving the capital.

Ma Yaozong smiled and took over the conversation: "When the emperor inspects Daliang, he will not only inspect the officialdom, but also the garrisons in various places. Maybe he will also visit the border troops. We must bring enough people with us."

Prime Minister Chen nodded and said, "The Imperial Guard has 30,000 elite soldiers, and they will all accompany us. If we are short of manpower, we can select some more from the various garrisons in the capital."

"With so many people traveling, the money and food is not a small amount." Chen Jinyu reminded in a low voice: "Also, with the emperor's temper, once he leaves the capital, it will be like an eagle flying out of a cage. He will never come back until he has flown enough. We have to prepare for it for at least a year."

Prime Minister Chen smiled and sighed, "One year is not enough. I am planning to prepare for two years. The officials accompanying you will not only be the two of you, but also the six ministries. Any emergencies encountered on the way can be dealt with in time. If there are major events in the court, they must be reported to the emperor as quickly as possible."

In short, it is not an easy task for the emperor to go on tour. Jiang Shaohua was busy with his ministers.

Jiang Shaohua gave Prime Minister Chen five days off, but Prime Minister Chen only rested for one day before returning to the court to get busy.

Jiang Shaohua felt a little sorry for his prime minister: "I told the prime minister to rest well, why did he come to the palace after only one day of rest?"

Prime Minister Chen responded calmly, "Your Majesty will be going on tour next spring, and there are so many things to prepare for, and I will take care of them all. I really can't stay at home."

Jiang Shaohua rarely felt guilty, so he coughed a few times and cleared his throat: "There's no rush, take your time."

Prime Minister Chen only grumbled a little, not wanting his emperor to feel guilty and embarrassed, so he smiled and said, "I have already told Minister Feng to check the national treasury to prepare money and grain."

Jiang Shaohua's eyebrows lit up immediately: "Really? That must be hard work for the Prime Minister and the Minister."

It is a blessing for her, the Emperor of Daliang, to have such a loyal and capable minister.

……

The rumor that the emperor was inspecting Daliang spread quietly in the court.

All six ministries would dispatch personnel to accompany the emperor. Who among the ambitious and aspiring officials would not want to fight for such an opportunity to accompany the emperor?

Look at Chen Jinyu, Ma Yaozong, Tang Youyin and Yang Zheng, these confidants of the emperor were all trained when they served the Princess of Nanyang.

Prime Minister Chen's residence was extremely bustling, with people coming and going every day, and visiting cards piled half a person high.

Prime Minister Chen had no time to meet these people. He selected personnel from the six ministries. First, they must be no older than 40 years old and in good health. Second, they must be smart and capable.

Chen Jinyu went to work in the Ministry of Rites, and Ma Yaozong returned to the Ministry of Personnel. The couple were equally busy.

Kang Ge'er stayed at home for a few days and happily returned to the palace with Princess Bao'er.

The spring of the eleventh year of Zhaoping finally arrived amid everyone's eager anticipation.
