"Huh." Xiao Changqi let out a low laugh, and really retreated behind Ye Qingyan.

Ye Qingyan had no choice but to deal with the river overseer, "We are businessmen in the capital, and we heard that the river is going to be opened between the king-thistles, so we came over to take a look." If the river can be opened, it will be very convenient for us businessmen. ”

"Well, the Jingji Canal is indeed a major event for the benefit of the country and the people. Okay, let's go, don't hang around here if it's okay. These are murderers, and it's hard to manage. If we take you hostage and escape, we won't be able to get it. ”

"Murderers? Aren't these ordinary people? Ye Qingyan asked, "Who let them dig the river?" ”

"Of course it was made by adults. Give us a few more bear bile, and none of them will dare to let the murderer come out, so let's go. ”

"Okay, thanks for the reminder."

"It's okay, let's go."

The river overseer then whipped the prisoners and river workers, "Carry the dead aside, and get to work." Tell you, working under the sun is exhausting, but it looks better than being beheaded in public at the entrance of the vegetable market. You know? ”

Ye Qingyan glanced at the prisoners again before leaving with Xiao Changqi.

As he walked, he said: "It's a murderer, but he doesn't even have a shackle, it's too easy to get into trouble." ”

Xiao Changqi replied: "It should be fed with poison, there is an antidote to work, and if you don't work, you will die." ”

As he was talking, Ye Qingyan suddenly found a sneaky person who had been looking at the riverworkers in the river, and tiptoed away after seeing her find him.

Xiao Changqi raised his eyebrows and said to Ye Qingyan: "It's from the military department, and the boots on your feet are military boots." ”

Ye Qingyan: "......"

"The winter hunt will end tomorrow, and the court can't say that it will start arguing again." Xiao Changqi seemed to have expected something, and pinched his eyebrows.

Ye Qingyan patted his generous and helpless back, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty has worked hard. ”

Xiao Changqi stared at him, "Jiaojiao, is this a joke?" It's like a vegetable market. ”

Ye Qingyan hurriedly shook his head, "No!" Absolutely nothing! And state affairs are not dishes, let you pick and choose. ”

"It's pretty much the same. Everyone grabs the delicious dishes, and no one wants the undelicious ones for free. ”

"Oh? Your Majesty said that the concubine may be able to help Your Majesty make a delicious dish. ”

"I know a good restaurant, and I chatted with Jiaojiao while eating."

"Your Majesty is so sweet." Ye Qingyan was indeed a little hungry.

……

The three-storey Royal First Tasting Restaurant is the good restaurant that Xiao Changqi said. In fact, it is also Ye Qingyan's own industry. Although she has not been concerned about these for a long time, these properties are still in her name, just like a cream shop.

As soon as dinner time arrived, the restaurant was already full, which shows how prosperous the business is, and the money is naturally full of money. Seeing that Ye Qingyan wanted to toss something new again.

Most of the people who eat in the restaurant are ordinary people, and they talk about anything, even if they are big and small things in the court, they can say a few words. Although these things are not for ordinary people to decide, caring about the affairs of the imperial court is also a symbol of the prosperity of a country. If the common people don't talk about anything, don't care about state affairs, and the people are indifferent to the court, it is the sorrow of a court, which means that the court has lost the hearts of the people, and those who lose the hearts of the people will eventually lose the world.

Xiao Changqi was on the third floor and chose an exquisite private room, with a view of the noisy street from the window.

Ye Qingyan leaned on the window and looked at the bustling market outside, "Whether Your Majesty is a Ming monarch or a tyrant, in fact, it doesn't matter what the court said, you want this scenery to have the final say." ”

Xiao Changqi walked over, looked outside, and then looked down at her quiet face, with a smile in his eyes, but he didn't say anything.

Mingjun is still a tyrant, he doesn't care too much, what he wants has not changed since he was a child...... However, it was a blessing to have her by her side on the way to that destination.

After the restaurant guys put all the wine and food together, Ye Qingyan sat down and ate by himself, Xiao Changqi drank the wine slowly, and occasionally helped Ye Qingyan peel the shrimp and remove a fish bone.

While eating, Ye Qingyan asked about the 'undelicious dishes' he talked about on the road before.

In fact, it is the Yan Dynasty's every three years to observe the imperial history and the candidates for the dethroned envoys. Both offices are appointed on a temporary basis. The Six Inspections of the Imperial History is to inspect the three provinces and six departments of the court, and then decide on rewards and punishments. The dethroned envoy had a heavier responsibility and more work than the Liucha Imperial History, and had to carry out inspections and inspections in various parts of the Yan Dynasty, visit the people's livelihood, punish corrupt officials and corrupt officials, depose mediocre talents, and reward good and capable people.

Although these two officials have great power for a while, they will be removed after the errand is completed, and they will not serve for a long time. During his tenure, he will inevitably offend people, especially the complicated relationship in the court, which often affects the whole body. The last person to be moved is likely to be an unprovoked person, so the probability of this second official being killed in an accident is extremely high. Since the founding of the Yan Dynasty, twenty-two Liucha Yushi and deposed envoys have died due to accidents. Therefore, these two official positions also have the title of Impermanence Imperial History.

Next year, it will be a triennial inspection. It's just that the Liucha Imperial History and the Dethroned Envoy have not yet been selected.

"The concubine thinks that Ren Ran is quite suitable to be a dethroned envoy. As for the Six Inspections of the Imperial History, you can choose one from the Imperial History Terrace. ”

Because the Liucha Imperial History is in the capital, and it is only to supervise the important ministers in the court, and is not responsible for rewards and punishments, it is easy to find. The most difficult to find is the deposed envoy, who holds a lot of power, and even has a certain amount of military power, and can directly transfer troops to suppress and suppress the rebels and thieves who do not obey the control and cause chaos. It is equivalent to holding part of the imperial power, so this candidate must be a loyal minister of the imperial faction. And Ren Ran is absolutely loyal to Xiao Changqi, and he has a very strong ability to do things, so he will be the envoy of the dethroned and get twice the result with half the effort.

"He's gone, who will be the prime minister?" Xiao Changqi poured a glass of wine and looked at Ye Qingyan.

"Your Majesty, you can temporarily take the position of prime minister yourself." In his previous life, after Ren Ran's death, Ye Qingyan did not appoint the position of prime minister again, it is really too powerful in this position, if the other party is a traitor, it is likely that the Yan Dynasty will fall into the hands of traitors. And she has never found a capable minister who can be trusted enough like Ren Ran, so she simply stops.

Xiao Changqi listened to Ye Qingyan's words, and his fingers slowly turned the wine glass.

Ye Qingyan knew that he was thinking, so he didn't bother him, picked up a piece of fried lamb chop, crispy dough, tender mutton, and took a bite, full of fresh and fragrant gravy.

Delicious! Sure enough, it was a royal chef from the palace, and there was nothing to be picky about the dishes he cooked.

If those cooks who retired from the palace knew that the master they had served had eaten the dishes they had cooked, I don't know if they would have gone crazy with excitement.
