At this moment, the list of gifts given by the Queen Mother was also placed on the emperor's imperial case.

Emperor Changping looked at such a list and didn't say anything for a long time. After half a sound, he said to a person who was in the shadows beside him: "You said, according to the information you investigated, during this period of time, the government affairs of the Star Picking Tower are likely to be handled by Qin Mingyue alone?" ”

The man in the shadows whispered, "Back to Your Majesty." The management of the Star Picking Building is strict, and the things inside have always been difficult to explore. We can't know the specifics. However, we have analyzed that since a few months ago, the government affairs of Xingxinglou have suddenly been much smoother. Not only the internal affairs of the Star Picking Building, but also the part of the government that should be sent to the Star Picking Building have been handled much faster. ”

Emperor Changping nodded and said, "Shen Guoshi is good at everything, but he is too lazy." When the government arrives at him, it will be delayed. For this matter, in the early years, I was very troubled. Later, he adopted a strategy and reached a consensus with Shen Guoshi, and if it was not a major matter, he would not discuss it with him. I and the prime minister, just make a decision among the civil and military officials. This will not delay the government. However, without the help of Xinglou, the handling of government affairs is really not very good. However, in recent times, the government affairs routinely sent to the Star Picking Building have not only been handled quickly, but also very decisive. On many folds, there are also suggestions sent by the Star Picking Building, and even major events, some inferences made by the Star Picking Building, and the results of divination will be attached. However, it has brought great convenience to me in dealing with government affairs. I have always wondered, why has Shen Guoshi changed? ”

The shadow continued, "The reason why we speculate that these government affairs are handled by Miss Mingyue. It is because, during this period of time, government affairs have been too smooth. However, during this period of time, it can be known for sure that Shen Guoshi has been in retreat. ”

Emperor Changping's eyes widened: "Retreat? Yes, yes, I remembered. Before, Shen Guoshi gave me a secret fold, saying that he had found a major matter and needed to retreat for a period of time. I didn't care at the time. In the past few decades, Shen Guoshi has been in retreat when he has nothing to do, sometimes for the purpose of calculating major events in the Great Zhou, but more often for improving his cultivation. I've been used to it for a long time, and I haven't taken it to heart. ”

The shadow said, "Shen Guoshi is indeed in retreat. Not only could he not deal with the affairs of the Star Picking Tower and the government affairs, but even the Shen family's business at sea was almost delayed. Later, the eldest lady of the Shen family held a banquet and invited Miss Mingyue to the banquet. Then, within a few days, the Shen family actually started sea trade. The information we have received can be determined that during this period, Shen Guoshi has been in retreat. In other words, the Shen family's divination calculation should also be done by Miss Mingyue. ”

This also proves even more that Shen Guoshi has been in retreat, and he can't even manage such a major event as going to sea at home, and it is impossible to deal with the affairs of the Star Picking Tower every day. The affairs of the Star Picking Tower should have been handled by Miss Mingyue all along. ”

Emperor Changping sighed: "Even such a thing as the Shen family's going to sea, Mingyue can actually calculate it." It seems that she has been apprenticed for less than a year. How did he learn Shen Guoshi's housekeeping skills so quickly? Shen Guoshi's first two apprentices have followed him for more than 20 years, and they don't have this ability? ”

The shadow said: "In addition to these, the subordinates also poked out, the chief butler of the Star Picking Tower, the hall master of the Star Washing Hall, and the leader of the secret guard, all of whom had extraordinary respect for Miss Mingyue. This should not only be because Miss Mingyue is a closed disciple of the national teacher, but also because of Miss Mingyue's strong divination ability and strong and skilled ability to handle government affairs. ”

The subordinates also found that the subordinates of the officials who picked up the star building have been in high spirits recently, and they are thriving, as if they have met the master of the Ming Dynasty and can work hard. This is something that Shen Guoshi did not have when he was dealing with government affairs. ”

Emperor Changping smiled: "The people who pick up the star tower are enough for Shen Guoshi's laziness. If these are really handled by Mingyue. Can the person who picks the star tower not be happy? Haven't you met the master? ”

"By the way, during this period of time, especially the matter of the Empress Dowager of Great Xia, this series of court and political decisions, and the opinions given by Xinglou are all presided over by Mingyue?"

The shadow said, "These subordinates have no way of judging. However, one thing is for sure, a few months before the Star Picking Tower, a series of measures began to be laid out, as if he had long known that the Empress Dowager of Great Xia would suddenly die. So, later, things came out, Xingxinglou was in an orderly manner, and the government and government also coped with it properly. ”

Emperor Changping stroked his beard and nodded: "Yes, at that time, I was very surprised that such a measure was given by the Star Picking Tower, and I didn't want to implement it." I was afraid that Shen Guoshi's face would be ruined, so I reluctantly implemented it. Unexpectedly, the powerful queen mother of Daxia said that she would die. It was unexpected. However, we also handled it properly. However, Da Xia himself, as well as the surrounding big businessmen, Da Yu was caught off guard. Hehe. ”

Thinking of this, Emperor Changping was very proud. I appreciated Qin Mingyue's ability even more.

The shadow said, "In addition to these, the subordinates have also found a small matter. ”

Emperor Changping was surprised: "What a trivial matter?" Something to do with the bright moon? ”

The shadow said, "Yes." A few months ago, her subordinates found out that Miss Mingyue suddenly took her Liupin official post and went to Fengxi to borrow 10,000 taels of silver. Later, within a few days, Miss Mingyue's personal maid took people to buy three boats of Sujin on the canal wharf next to the capital. ”

Emperor Changping was even more strange: "This is really a trivial matter. However, it is also sad that our future national teacher is actually poor and has to borrow money from Fengxi merchants. It can be seen that in the rumors, the downfall of the Liguo Mansion is true. It's hard for her to be a little girl, and she has to hold up the broken ship of the Liguo Mansion. However, why did she buy plain silk? And actually bought three boats? I don't need that much to make clothes. Besides, what is the little girl doing with element silk? There is no funeral in the Liguo Mansion? ”

The shadow said: "At that time, the merchants on the dock were very strange how some people bought all these three boatloads of plain silk that had never been sold. The silver ticket was delivered on the spot, a total of nearly 6,000 taels of silver. Afterwards, three boates of silk entered the warehouse at the wharf. Of course, warehouses are also rented. ”

Emperor Changping frowned.

The shadow continued: "However, within a few days, the Queen Mother of Great Xia suddenly died, and Great Xia was caught off guard, and sent out many caravans to buy plain silk all over the world. The price of plain silk in the capital doubled all of a sudden, and the price was higher than that of colored silk. Miss Mingyue's three boats of plain silk were all sold at once. At that time, the merchants who did not buy the three boatloads of silk on the wharf regretted it. ”

Emperor Changping was dumbfounded.
