The Prodigal Son

After completing the bestowal of titles and rewards, Zhao Luan discussed the governance of Min with his ministers.

Speaking of this, Zhao Luan couldn't help but want to hang Qin Yu up and whip him.

The number of officials in Min County was already severely insufficient, and Qin Yu's further drastic measures would inevitably lead to the execution of many officials.

As a result, there is an even greater shortage of officials.

The appointment of officials in Mindi was not a simple matter.

Nowadays, many important officials in the imperial court want to send people to Min.

She needs to balance the power of all parties and ensure long-term stability in Minjiang.

These things may seem like a simple matter of saying a sentence, but in practice, they require a great deal of consideration.

Qin Yu completely ignored their discussion, his mind wandering elsewhere.

Although there were some setbacks today, he achieved his goals.

He doesn't want to worry about anything right now; he just wants to finish the court session as soon as possible and go home to enjoy himself!

After fighting for so long, it's time to enjoy myself!

As Qin Yu waited anxiously, he finally heard the call to adjourn the court.

For Qin Yu right now, this is the most beautiful sound.

After the court officials left the court, Yuan Dingguo and others were preparing to invite Qin Yu for drinks when Yun Ying stopped them.

"What are you doing?"

Qin Yu frowned as he stared at Yun Ying, a bad feeling suddenly rising in his heart.

Based on past experience, when the two generals, Heng and Ha, come looking for me, it's usually not for anything good.

The key point is that this was someone Zhao Luan sent after failing to deal with him!

Yun Ying maintained her cold expression: "His Majesty has instructed that Physician Qin be summoned to the Imperial Study for a meeting."

"Bullshit!"

Qin Yu brushed Yun Ying's hand away. "The court session has just ended. When did His Majesty give you any orders? I didn't see them."

"His Majesty gave the order first thing this morning!"

Yun Ying, neither warm nor cold, raised her hand in invitation: "Doctor Qin, please!"

Depend on!

There's no escaping it!

Who knows what kind of tricks the female demon is up to now.

Forget it, let's take a step by step!

Qin Yu was secretly annoyed, then shouted to Yuan Dingguo and the others, "Tell Da Chui that something came up and I probably won't be able to leave until later. Tell him not to wait for me."

"good!"

The group nodded to Qin Yu and quickly left.

As Gao Yi watched Qin Yu being led away by Yun Ying, a look of realization flashed in his eyes.

If nothing unexpected happens, Zhao Luan will begin to appease Qin Yu, diverting Qin Yu's resentment onto herself.

But it doesn't matter!

He was always going to stand opposite the Qin family!

Gao Yi became happier and happier as he thought about it, and unconsciously straightened his slightly hunched back, like a general who had won a battle.

On the other side, Qin Yu was taken directly to the Imperial Study.

When they arrived at the Imperial Study, Zhao Luan had just changed out of his court robes and sat down at the Imperial Desk.

Zhao Luan didn't say anything, just stared at Qin Yu.

It was as if they wanted to see right through Qin Yu.

Qin Yu felt uneasy under Zhao Luan's gaze and tentatively asked, "What does Your Majesty wish to do?"

"Aren't you feeling pretty smug right now?"

Zhao Luan stared intently at Qin Yu.

No, no.

Qin Yu vehemently denied it, saying, "Your Majesty values ​​me and wishes to entrust me with important responsibilities! However, my abilities and energy are limited, and I truly..."

"Stop!"

Zhao Luan raised her hand to stop Qin Yu, angrily saying, "If it weren't for your past achievements, I would have given you dozens of lashes!"

Qin Yu chuckled, "Your Majesty knows that you cherish me, and I am deeply grateful beyond words..."

"Enough! Don't make me throw up my breakfast!"

Zhao Luan couldn't listen to any longer. "I ask you, what's your opinion on what happened in court today?"

Qin Yu was taken aback, then replied in a serious tone, "I see with my eyes."

"I……"

Zhao Luan was so angry her liver ached. Disregarding imperial decorum, she took off her shoe and held it in her hand, glaring menacingly at Qin Yu: "Don't force me to beat you!"

Looking at Zhao Luan's appearance, Shangguan Youyi couldn't help but open his mouth wide in exaggerated surprise.

She had been by Zhao Luan's side for many years, and this was the first time she had ever seen anything like this.

Qin Yu is truly a remarkable person to have angered His Majesty to such an extent!

Qin Yu took a slight step back and said with a dry laugh, "Your Majesty, I simply didn't know what you were asking."

"call……"

Zhao Luan exhaled two breaths of stale air, glaring at him with annoyance. "I'm asking you, what do you think of Prime Minister Gao's fervent petition for me to severely punish you?"

Qin Yu pondered for a moment, then replied, "Prime Minister Gao is devoted to the court..."

"Don't give me these high-sounding words, I want to hear the truth!" Zhao Luan interrupted him directly.

"This is the truth!"

Qin Yu smiled: "Although I feel that Prime Minister Gao is targeting me, it cannot be denied that everything he said is reasonable! No matter what my purpose was in selling official positions, Your Majesty, as the ruler of the country, cannot condone or protect my behavior!"

This is the truth.

Some doors, indeed, must not be opened!

Once the imperial court opened this door, countless people tried every means to exploit it.

A glint of light flashed in Zhao Luan's eyes as she stared at him with a half-smile. "You've already planned to say this, haven't you? Even if the Prime Minister hadn't said it, you would have petitioned the court on your own, wouldn't you?"

"right!"

Qin Yu readily admitted it.

There's nothing to deny about that!

Am I so noble and virtuous that I need to hide it?

"Sometimes I really want to beat you to death, you bastard!"

Zhao Luan glared at him resentfully, then asked, "Have you figured out a way to deal with you for me?"

Depend on!

She's still thinking about this.

Why are you so angry during the Lunar New Year?

Qin Yu was speechless for a moment, and replied with a sigh, "Your subject is of limited talent and learning, and I really cannot think of such a thing."

Zhao Luan had anticipated Qin Yu's response, and a slight smile appeared on her lips. "Are you sure you didn't expect that?"

Seeing the faint smile on her face, Qin Yu's bad premonition grew even stronger.

After a moment of contemplation, Qin Yu forced a smile and replied, "I truly couldn't have imagined it."

"Alright, I'll help you think of something!"

Zhao Luan gave Shangguan Youyi a wink, and Shangguan Youyi immediately handed a stack of memorials to Qin Yu.

Qin Yu, bewildered, asked, "Your Majesty, what...does this mean?"

"I'm giving you two tasks!"

Zhao Luan didn't waste any more words with Qin Yu. "First, draft a detailed operational manual for the Wudang Flying Army! Second, based on the list and information of officials recommended by various departments for positions in Min, select suitable officials for these positions. Your superiors will tell you the specific requirements!"

What the hell!

This is practically making me work like a beast of burden!

Qin Yu immediately objected, "These matters are truly not my forte, Your Majesty..."

"Alright! That's it!"

Zhao Luan interrupted Qin Yu, "You can go back when you've finished these two things! If you haven't, you'll stay in the palace for the whole New Year. I'll provide you with three meals a day, I guarantee you won't go hungry!"

Three meals a day?

Qin Yu secretly curled his lip.

You can manage three meals a day, but can you manage a whole day?

"Your Majesty, I truly know nothing about these things!"

Qin Yu complained bitterly.

"You're like a donkey; you won't move forward without a kick! I believe you can do it!"

Zhao Luan picked up a memorial, waved her hand without looking up, and said, "Shangguan, take him to the side hall and have someone serve him well!"

"yes!"

Shangguan Youyi struggled to suppress a laugh and gestured with his hand, "Please, Physician Qin!"
