In order to let Bai Shan and Zhou Man take a fancy to his new manuscript, Bai Erlang had to run back to find Mingda.
Mingda and Bai Erlang ran into the palace the next day. First, the well-behaved husband and the emperor admitted their mistakes, and then acted like a baby and wanted to return the manuscript.
The emperor was so entangled that he had no choice but to pay back more than half of it. The rest was unwilling to pay back. He said with a serious face: "The son-in-law does not distinguish between public and private, how can he not be punished at all? These manuscripts are just for him. By the way, it’s best not to spread those manuscripts to the outside world, otherwise the Imperial Academy will find out that I returned the manuscripts to him, and I’m afraid they will impeach him and me.”
Seeing that acting like a baby is useless, Ming Da can only take that part of the manuscript to find Bai Erlang.
Bai Erlang looked at it and sighed, "Bai Shan and Zhou Man have read most of these. Look, there are still imprints of their revisions on them. I want to send them the newly written ones during this period."
Mingda: "Do you want them to read your newly written manuscript, or let them revise it for you?"
Bai Erlang said: "Isn't this happening at the same time? What's the difference between the two?"
Mingda: "If it's the latter, I can do it too. I'll change it for you."
Bai Erlang looked confused, "It's not good, you don't know what happened to Xing Xing, what if you change it for me and I write more and more wrong?"
Mingda said: "I heard Zhou Man said about going west, so I won't miss it."
Bai Erlang and her stared wide-eyed, still wanting Bai Shan and Zhou Man to correct it, so they thought of a way in the middle, "Why don't you get the manuscript back from His Majesty, and then you correct it and then send it to Bai Shan and the others for correction." once?"
He said: "I promised them that the manuscript must be shown to them before it is printed into a book."
Mingda nodded, "All right."
She was very happy in her heart, anyway, she just got involved.
So, how are they going to get the rest of the manuscript back from the emperor
The husband and wife looked at each other, and looked at the apse of the Tai Chi Hall together.
The queen did not respond on the spot, and asked them to go back and listen to the news.
Bai Erlang was puzzled, "Is it so serious for me to write a manuscript in the Imperial Academy? So serious that the empress can't take out the manuscript?"
Mingda knew her father better, and said: "I will give it to the emperor after reading it."
"But Liwei left in two days."
In the evening, the emperor didn't go to the harem anymore, he was just reading with a stack of manuscripts, the empress went over to take a look, and took the manuscripts that the emperor had flipped over to read, and smiled while reading: "Mingda and the son-in-law are begging to come to me." Here we come, when will Your Majesty give them the rest of the manuscript?"
The emperor said indifferently: "I'll talk about it after I finish reading it."
The queen couldn't help laughing, "Your Majesty, if you don't give him the manuscript, I'm afraid he won't be able to write the next manuscript. I actually want to know how Bai Shan and the others manage to survive after breaking through the city gate."
The emperor was aggrieved, "You have finished reading it, but I haven't finished it yet."
The queen urged him, "Then take a quick look."
He continued: "Didn't you find someone else's handwriting on the manuscript? Apparently someone else edited it for him. The Imperial Medical Office wanted to send a person to Zhou Man, and the son-in-law suddenly became anxious because he wanted to give the manuscript to Bai Shan and Zhou Man." They send it."
The matter turned to official matters, the emperor tapped the quilt covering his legs with his fingers, and said to the queen: "I heard Xiao Yuanzheng mentioned that after every decree takes office, it will take at least half a year to let the local People know the existence of the Medical Administration, and it will take more time for the local people to accept the Medical Administration.”
"Although Zheng Gu has neglected his duties, the Luozhou Medical Department is the most complete among all the medical departments. Not only in Luoyang County, but also in other counties of Luozhou. This has attracted many refugees to seek medical treatment at the medical department. "The emperor said: "Last year alone, the number of refugees registered through the Luozhou Medical Office was 128. This is a great achievement."
The corner of the emperor's mouth twitched and he said, "It's only been so long since Zhou Man has been there, and he actually has an important person with the imperial medical office. It seems that the medical office over there is going very well. Sending her out is considered a party."
The queen said: "I heard from Mingda that Zhou Man set up the medical office in Beihai County, and the situation there is different from other medical offices. With Bai Shan around, things will go much smoother for Zhou Man."
The emperor nodded, "I also know this, but it's not bad to start with Beihai County first. After Beihai County, there are other places or other places. Baishan can't be affected. I want to see if Zhou Man can let the medical department open everywhere." .”
The Queen asked: "Has the governor of Qingzhou not arrived yet?"
"Oh," the emperor lowered his head and continued to flip through the manuscript in his hand, and said nonchalantly, "I have changed Qingzhou's governor again, and he is probably going to the capital soon. When he sees me, he will take up his post."
The queen was taken aback for a moment, and asked, "Substitution?"
The smile on the corner of the emperor's mouth was slightly cold, and he nodded his head and said: "Yes, Wang Rong has been ill and cannot go out. I think he is not in good health, so I let him recuperate at home. After discussing with Wei Zhi, I replaced Guo Cheng. .”
Queen: "Guo Cheng? He..."
The emperor nodded and said, "That's him."
Seeing the Queen's expression was different, he laughed and said, "Don't look at him lying around like grass on the wall, but his scheming ability is not bad, and he has the intention of making meritorious deeds. There is Lu Cong who is equally shrewd and capable in Qingzhou, and With Bai Shan here, I think coming to Qingzhou will get better and better."
"On the contrary, it is Wang Rong," the smile on the emperor's face faded, and he said coldly: "He is too cold and arrogant, he looks down on Qingzhou, and he also looks down on the poor family. The official circles in Qingzhou may not think highly of him."
He has never despised his people, so why does Wang Rong despise them
Because Wang Rong is indeed talented, he has been enduring it all the time, but he can go after the Chinese New Year for the Ren Shu he wrote a few years ago. Ancestors, if you want to pay homage to your ancestors, you will not take office until after the Qingming Festival. If this is the case, then there is no need for him to go. Let's take care of our ancestors at home.
Sensing that the emperor was not in a good mood, the queen gave him a break, and the emperor looked down at the manuscript in his hand, just in time to see the part where Bai Shan and the others took the initiative to go to conquer the Western Army, he sighed: "If the ministers of the world They are all like Bai Shan and Zhou Man, who are as innocent as their hearts, knowing that they must hand over their talents to the country, and there will be no such troubles in the world."
The queen couldn't help laughing, "If all the courtiers in the world are like this, what should His Majesty do to repay them?"
"I will give them high officials and rich salary, unlimited honor."
The queen smiled slightly. Although these words could cause infinite contradictions and disputes, she liked to see the emperor's self-confident appearance.
