One touch and one silence

"Okay, okay! Listen to our Shuyue. By the way, has Butcher Chen made all the arrangements?"

Nanzhi suddenly remembered that she had almost forgotten about it.

"Don't worry, Your Highness. I have already arranged for the person."

Nanzhi picked up the bowl and took a sip of the soup. Now she no longer minded what medicinal ingredients were in the soup. In fact, she would get used to it slowly after drinking it more.

Maybe because she consumed a lot today, Nanzhi only ate a small bowl and a half of rice in the evening, which made the maid and the nanny very happy.

When Nanzhi put down the bowl, Nanny Fang started to talk about the emperor's order for someone from the Ministry of Internal Affairs to come today.

"Master, today His Majesty asked the Ministry of Internal Affairs to send you a maid and eunuch to serve you."

When Nanzhi heard this, his face became tense.

"What about people?"

"I'll return it to you." Liu Yue replied.

Nanzhi patted his chest gently, "I'm so scared! Don't take this thing! It's already very difficult for your master to raise you with my small body."

"Lord Liu Yue, you are my favorite! Work hard, I have confidence in you!"

After Nanzhi finished speaking, he gave Liuyue a thumbs up and gave him a big thumbs up.

The corner of Liu Yue's mouth twitched. Nanny, Shuhua and others almost died of laughter when they saw this scene.

"Your Highness does need to recruit some people. The mansion is quite large now, so we need some guards to guard it. Don't let anyone with ulterior motives break in."

Liu Yue put forward his own idea.

"Did someone really get in?" Nanzhi paused. The other people also showed a trace of caution on their faces.

"Yeah! But I beat him away!"

When Liu Yue said this, he was not seeking credit, but was telling Nanzhi how dangerous it was.

Nan Zhiren pondered for a moment and nodded.

"What Master Liu Yue said is true. Forget about those in the palace. Liu Yue will find the general's wife tomorrow and ask her if she has any veterans who have retired from the battlefield. Let them come. It's five taels of silver per month. You can have as many people as you like. Those who have some physical disabilities are also fine."

This not only gives them a decent job, but also allows them to live a slightly better life. And they also know some kung fu.

"If there are girls who are good at fighting, please recruit some of them to come and watch over the backyard. Madam Shuhua and the others are powerless and it is a bit dangerous."

Liu Yue nodded. After all, the secret guards were only there to protect the master. If something happened when they were away, given His Highness's temperament, it would probably not be good.

Nanzhi now regrets deeply why he was so impulsive and wanted to buy a bigger house to live in.

It’s better to have a smaller house so that you can live more comfortably.

Qin Momo suddenly interrupted.

"Since the master has hired these people, then we need to hire two more who can cook, and two more to guard the door."

"Okay, let's do as you say!"

Hiring so many people at once increased the expenses dramatically.

"Call Shuqi back! He has been left there alone for almost half a year. Remember to bring back my two pigs."

She has to eat meat during the Chinese New Year.

After everyone had left, Nanzhi gave Liuyue an order.

"Master Liu Yue, ask Sanqi to buy some wine tomorrow. I, your master, should start a business. Otherwise, what if you guys starve to death?"

Nanzhi was dejected and looked up at the stars in the sky.

What a pity, there is not a single star in the night sky today, just like Nanzhi’s heart at the moment, pitch black, without any light at all.

Liu Yue curled his lips. Starve to death? Can they starve to death those secret guards? That's also a talent.

In the palace, the emperor and the crown prince were entertaining General Yu and several of his subordinates.

The Prime Minister accompanied him.

By the afternoon, Yu Qinglin had explained everything clearly to the emperor, and even the key prisoners were handed over to the Jinwu Guards.

Yu Qinglin knew very well that the rest of the things were probably not something he could know.

The emperor was happy that Yu Qinglin lived up to his expectations and returned victoriously with even little loss. He was so pleased that he wanted to host a banquet for Yu Qinglin and his generals on the spot.

Even the secret guards who followed His Majesty were specially rewarded with a feast.

Originally, the emperor wanted to invite the seventh prince as well, but after hearing what the steward of the Imperial Household Department said, he gave up the idea.

"Today's banquet is just for us, the emperor and his subjects. General Yu has made a great contribution in this matter. I am very pleased!"

The emperor raised a glass of wine and raised it to Yu Qinglin with satisfaction. At this moment, he was really pleased.

Thanks to Xiao Qi, otherwise he would have killed such a useful and loyal talent by mistake.

"Your Majesty, thank you for your praise. It is my honor to have your trust."

After saying that, he walked forward and handed over the tiger talisman respectfully.

When the emperor saw the tiger talisman, his smile widened.

it is good!

OK!

Since he is indeed a person who does not covet power, he would not mind pampering her a little more.

The emperor stepped down from the dragon throne, walked in front of Yu Qinglin, and pushed the tiger talisman in Yu Qinglin's hand back.

He raised his hand again and helped Yu Qinglin up.

"My dear! I still need you for something, what else can you do for me? Or do you not want to be loyal to me anymore?"

The emperor deliberately frowned and looked at Yu Qinglin in a serious tone.

"Your Majesty's forgiveness!"

As soon as Yu Qinglin knelt, the generals he brought in also knelt down.

"Your Majesty's forgiveness!"

The emperor pulled Yu Qinglin up and looked at the others kneeling in the field, "My dear ministers, what are you doing? Stand up."

"Originally, I didn't intend to tell you today, for fear that you would think too much. But now I have no choice but to tell you the truth at this banquet."

"We still need you to help Prince Yulin at the border. It has been more than a month and there has been no news from Prince Yulin. I am really worried. I wanted you to rest at home for two days and see your wife and children, but now I have no choice but to tell you now."

"Are you willing, my dear?"

The emperor spoke next to Yu Qinglin, his tone was much lower, and the others could not hear clearly what they were saying.

Yu Qingli knelt on the ground and kowtowed hard.

"Your Majesty, I will definitely fulfill your wishes."

The emperor trusted him so much that he was moved to tears.

The emperor took out a handwritten edict from his bosom and quietly handed it to Yu Qinglin.

"My dear minister, the life and death of the people of the world depends on this decree. I can only leave this matter to you, my dear minister, and I will feel at ease."

The emperor patted Yu Qinglin on the shoulder and said solemnly: "On behalf of the people of Daling Dynasty, thank you!"

"I accept the order and thank you!"

Yu Qinglin was so moved that tears filled his eyes. Since His Majesty trusted him so much, he would definitely get this done.

"Okay, stop kneeling. When you return, I will personally welcome you back."

After saying that, he smiled and patted Yu Qinglin's shoulder, with a look of great satisfaction in his eyes.

The Crown Prince and the Prime Minister watched from the side, laughing happily, drinking and chatting with other generals.

Everyone has their own job.

After the banquet, he won people's hearts, made them grateful, and trusted him more as the emperor.
