The most arrogant in history

"Forget it, don't meddle in national affairs anymore!"

Ye Kun sighed and took Liu Yuejuan's hand: "Come with me to see Concubine Xi and Princess Mingzhu."

Liu Yuejuan felt aggrieved and nodded and followed.

Dai Xi had already gone to bed. When he learned that Ye Kun was coming, he opened the door to meet him.

Ye Kun brushed aside the eunuchs and asked Dai Xi to close the door, then smiled and said, "Concubine Xi, thank Miss Yue Juan quickly. She waited for me in the middle of the night to plead for Princess Mingzhu."

After that, Ye Kun bowed to Yue Juan again and whispered:

"Yuejuan, I was just scolding you for show. We have never spoken loudly since we became husband and wife, so how could I bear to scold you?"

Dai Xi understood immediately, hugged Yue Juan, and said with a smile: "It was Empress Yue Juan who took care of me and pleaded for Princess Ming Zhu. On behalf of my daughter, I would like to thank Empress Yue Juan."

Yue Juan was confused and frowned, "What kind of show is this?"

Ye Kun took Yue Juan's hand and explained in a low voice:

"Why would I marry my daughter to the Huns? All of this was planned by me to wipe out the Huns..."

After listening to Ye Kun's explanation, Liu Yuejuan breathed a sigh of relief and said with tears in her eyes, "Then I feel relieved."

"I just wronged Miss Yuejuan. I scolded her just now."

Ye Kun bowed again to express his gratitude.

Dai Xi covered his mouth and laughed, "Your Majesty, please don't bow. If you bow again, it will be a wedding ceremony."

Yuejuan chuckled and punched Daixi: "I came to see you out of kindness, but you laughed at me."

Ye Kun smiled and said, "Miss Yuejuan, go back and rest first. I will accompany Dai Xi tonight and talk to you tomorrow."

"Just accompany Sister Dai Xi. I don't want you to talk to me."

Yuejuan smiled, bowed and left.

Ye Kun stayed in Dai Xi's room, pretending that Princess Mingzhu was going to be sent to marry, and that he was comforting Concubine Xi and his daughter...

Two days later, it was the day for the nine ministries to meet.

Ye Kun proposed to appoint Hu Gaoyuan to go to Tianzhu to take charge of the overall situation.

Sang Buzhi and others, however, doubted Hu Gaoyuan's ability and held cautious opinions.

Ye Kun said: "In the past two days, I have often chatted with Hu Gaoyuan, and I feel that he can be of great use. His strategy is very good and can make up for our shortcomings other than military force. Tianzhu is large in area and the situation is complicated. We need such talents to control the overall situation."

Sang Buyi said: "In this case, let Hu Gaoyuan give it a try."

Ye Kun nodded and gave Hu Gaoyuan a letter of authorization.

Someone came outside the door to report that Zhou Xuanwu had died of illness.

Ye Kun was very sad and said, "Zhou Xuanwu followed me for more than ten years and made great contributions. It's a pity that he left me at the age of fifty. I posthumously confer the title of founding deputy commander on Zhou Xuanwu and grant him a pension and burial expenses. Zhou Xuanwu's sons are not yet adults, so the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Personnel should take care of them."

Zhou Xuanwu was originally a bachelor, so he got married after Ye Kun came.

So among Zhou Xuanwu's children, the oldest was only twelve years old, and some of the younger ones were less than ten years old.

Sang Buyi said: "Zhou Xuanwu's eldest son can accompany the prince to study."

Ye Kun nodded: "Then wait until after Zhou Xuanwu's funeral, and arrange for Zhou Xuanwu's eldest son to follow the prince."

The prince also needs some confidants, who need to be trained in advance.

He Kangju mentioned the matter of the Seven Monsters of the Bamboo Forest again: "Your Majesty, Zhuang Buwen, Ruan Xiong and others have been detained for a long time, what do you think?"

"I heard that many Confucian scholars wrote letters to plead for mercy, right?"

"Yes, about a hundred celebrities jointly wrote a letter to plead for Ruan Xiong and others."

"Great, gather these 100 people and have a debate when they are all here." Ye Kun thought for a moment and said:

"Notify all the teachers of the School of Literature and History at Wanguo University and Kyushu University to participate in the debate. Other teachers can sit in as observers."

He Kangju asked: "May I ask your Majesty, what is the topic of the debate?"

Ye Kun thought for a moment and said, "The topic is... what should scholars do and how should they do it!"

He Kangju nodded, picked up his pen and wrote it down, then asked, "When will the debate start and where will it start?"

"When the people who signed the petition arrive, we will start in the auditorium of Kyushu University. By the way, the topic will be announced in advance. Also inform Zhuang Buwen, Ruan Xiong and others, so that they don't accuse me of bullying them."

Sang Buyi smiled and said, "Your Majesty, have you thought about how to debate? Zhuang Buwen and others are all eloquent people, I'm afraid they will be difficult to deal with."

"Don't worry, I can argue with the scholars and make them lose their teeth!"

Ye Kun sneered.

Ye Kun also saw Ruan Xiong's level of debate last time. Asking someone to lick hemorrhoids is like a shrew scolding in the street, isn't it?

If this kind of person really gets on the debate stage, he won't say a word!

Before the meeting ended, Ye Kun said:

"By the way, the Queen has decided to hold a clothing festival in the Imperial City Garden the day after tomorrow, and invites all the adults and their wives to come and exchange ideas. Tomorrow the Imperial City will be open, and all the adults and their wives, as well as unmarried young men and women over ten years old, can come and play.

It starts at 8am. There will be a light lunch at noon, so you don’t need to bring your own lunch.”

This was suggested by Jiang Yourong and Xie Baochan, to hold an exchange meeting.

It is also a blind date for children.

The children in the palace are gradually growing up, and if there are suitable families, they can be considered.

He Kangju smiled and said, "Your Majesty, this is a forbidden area in the palace. If we rush in, we might offend the queen and the princesses. Why not just let the ladies pass through..."

"It doesn't matter. As long as your heart is clear and honest, what is there to be afraid of?"

Ye Kun smiled and said, "Everyone come together. I will accompany you to drink tea and chat. The Queen will chat with the ladies. Young masters and young ladies, also talk about academics with my children."

Everyone understood and bowed to express their gratitude.

Some people were secretly delighted and hoped to become relatives with Ye Kun.

Some people feel regretful because their children are not of the right age and feel they have missed this opportunity.

Ye Kun also returned to the imperial study to check the reports submitted by various departments from all over the country.

Bingbing came over with tea.

Ye Kun asked: "Bingbing, where is your sister Jasmine?"

"Sister Jasmine was invited by the Queen to prepare for the Clothing Festival."

"Oh I got it."

Ye Kun put down the work in his hands and asked, "Bingbing, have you arranged your parents' affairs?"

Bingbing smiled and thanked him: "Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. Lord Tan Bamao has found a large courtyard with three entrances for my parents, equipped with furniture, and arranged two servants and two maids. The house is in the outer city, not too far away."

"That's good."

Ye Kun felt that Tan Bamao had gone too far.

Old Man Ma was originally a poor man, and it was probably not a good thing for him to suddenly live the life of an old man.

Bingbing observed the emperor's expression and whispered, "This is the emperor's concern. My parents asked me to thank him. My parents said that as long as I have a place to live and food to eat, I don't dare to let the emperor worry about other things."

Ye Kun thought for a moment and said, "Your parents are not too old yet. What do you plan to do in the future?"

Bingbing pondered and said, "Father has also studied for a few years. He can write and do accounting. I have some private money, and I plan to let father do some small business."

"How much private money do you have?"

"This……"

Bingbing blushed and smiled, "These are all rewards from Sister Cherry and the Emperor. I probably have three hundred taels of gold."
