My bad words were heard by all the civil and military officials in the court

Emperor Jingming carried manure for a whole day. Many ministers in the court had intense physical reactions at the beginning but gradually got used to it later.

The food, which had already been marinated, saw their Majesty finishing work and going home at the order of the farmer named Cui Fu.

They no longer had the energy to be angry at this man for meddling in His Majesty's affairs. They all raised their sleeves and wiped away their tears.

It’s great that they can finally go home and take a shower to get rid of the bad smell.

“Hoo…Hoo…Hoo…”

At this time, a snoring sound was heard. The ministers withdrew their gaze and looked towards the source of the sound in confusion.

Then I saw Master Tongshan, such a highly respected person, falling asleep without any burden or worry in this atmosphere.

Prime Minister Shangguan's mouth twitched, and he called him to wake him up: "Master, His Majesty has returned home alive, and we are also leaving the court."

Tongshan opened his eyes and looked at the sky. Then he sat up straight and pressed his hands down. He then told Eunuch Lin to go down and prepare food for the ministers.

The prince reminded: "Uncle, it's getting dark and the palace gates will be locked."

Master Tongshan said: "No hurry, all donors, please have your meal first. The wild vegetables that the Empress specially had people pick this afternoon should have arrived at the imperial kitchen. All donors can taste them with me."

Although I don’t know what Master Tongshan is going to do.

But since the emperor was not there and the prince had no intention of speaking again, the ministers could only stay still.

It was also a coincidence that they and Emperor Jingming started eating almost at the same time.

But what they ate was the fragrant white rice, while the Majesty, whom they were worried about, was eating white rice porridge with not much rice in the bowl.

The steamed corn bread on hand was kindly sponsored by Cui Luoshan’s family.

The prince's eyes became red again.

The queen was also feeling uneasy. She instructed the maid beside her, "From now on, the meals in the palace will be reduced to two dishes, one soup, and one rice for each master. The money saved can be used to buy some food and medicinal herbs to be sent to Jianghe City."

Life is really not easy for the people there.

Prime Minister Shangguan looked at the white rice in the bowl and felt uncomfortable while eating.

"Just now when Lord Ye was cooking, I saw that there was only one bowl of rice left in the rice jar. I don't know if Your Majesty will have enough food and clothing in the future."

Nong Minchang: "The wind is a bit strong, and your Majesty is wearing thin clothes. I hope it doesn't rain there."

"It would be great if Lord Ye could be more alert and hunt some prey when he goes up the mountain tomorrow." Xu Zhong said expectantly.

"That...that mirror is talking?" A minister gasped.

Everyone stopped eating and looked at the sky.

Qingshan Village thousands of miles away.

Ye Shengxin quickly finished her food and took the bronze mirror next to her. She was also worried about the food she would have next.

The ten taels of silver that had been obtained earlier ended up in Mayor Huang's house because the duck was washed.

Not only had she worked in vain for the past two days, but she also got into trouble. Ye Shengxin felt very unlucky in her heart, but on the surface she was seriously asking Hao Duanzhuang about going up the mountain tomorrow to catch rabbits with her.

Hao Duanzhuang agreed.

It was by saying this that he completely exposed his existence.

"Hey, this, this... where did Lord Ye get that mirror? Is it also a divine object?"

"Maybe it's the system. Over the past two days, have you heard the system talking to Lord Ye?"

"No, he is not the system. Look, Lord Ye called her dignified, and his tone of voice is different from that of the system."

"Master Ye has lost his memory? Is it because the system is lost?"

The ministers were discussing the matter, but the prince knew clearly that this familiar mirror was a dowry given by the empress dowager.

He lowered his eyes. No wonder he had to come to the East Palace in the middle of the night to steal the mirror. It turned out that there was such a secret in this bronze mirror.

The prince and the queen looked at each other. This mirror had been in the queen mother's hands for decades.

Judging from the black ball's power, I wonder if he has done anything harmful to the world.

Master Tongshan was calm and composed, not at all surprised, and said, "It is also a fate bestowed by heaven that Mr. Ye can have the mirror recognize its owner."

The ministers fell silent for a moment.

Many of the smart people among them keenly sensed the meaning of a warning from this sentence, and they panicked and immediately lowered their heads.

They were afraid that Master Tongshan would look at them and expose their thoughts to the sun.

Zhang Liang, who was in Qingshan Village, was as surprised as many other ministers, but when he thought of the wife of Marquis Pingqing and his ancestors, he was instantly relieved.

Ye Shengxin did not avoid him, so Zhang Liang took the opportunity to start a conversation with Hao Duanzhuang.

Hao Duanzhuang's attitude was not really good. Zhang Liang didn't know him, but Zhang Liang had been an official for decades, so Hao Duanzhuang knew him.

So he threw Ye Shengxin's previous excuse that he ate free rice onto Zhang Liang, and justifiedly asked his subject to wash the dishes.

Zhang Liang had no objection: "Of course, of course."

Ye Shengxin and Emperor Jingming both felt a little embarrassed, but Zhang Liang was determined, so they had no choice but to follow his lead.

After dinner, Cui Luoshan came over and the four of them went to the woodshed together.

Huang Youwei hadn't woken up yet, but Zhang Liang found two books that he had arranged in advance and tied tightly from his calves.

——"Minister's Two or Three Matters".

——"Three or Four Things about a Minister".

Ministers:...

The ministers were all terrified. When did Zhang Liang put this harmful thing on Huang Youwei?

The Grand Tutor and the Crown Prince looked at each other. So this was Master Tongshan's intention in asking them to stay?

I have never been harmed, but I feel that there must be someone like me in this book. The minister walked up to Master Tongshan and asked nervously:

"Master, why did you let Master Zhang do this?"

Master Tongshan smiled kindly: "Your Majesty is still Your Majesty after all. Even if you have lost your memory, you still need to understand the ministers in the court."

"Don't you want to know how His Majesty treats you after he loses his memory?"

Ministers who felt they had no black spots were eager to try, but those who had something to hide were worried.

But no matter what, the book was in Ye Xingxin's hands and in front of His Majesty, and they were powerless to stop it.

The prince, who knew what was going on, stood up and said, "Everyone, please take a seat."

In Qingshan Village, Ye Shengxin went outside with a book and sat on a stone bench with Emperor Jingming and the other three.

Before opening the book, Emperor Jingming looked serious and guessed based on the title:

"Huang Youwei is so lawless and has treasures in his home. His confidence may be the handles on the ministers recorded in these two books."

He snorted coldly, "The pages are quite thick. I guess there are many corrupt officials in the court. I don't know how the emperor in such a high position can be elected."

(The dog officials) All the ministers: ...

Prince:......

The prince held his forehead and said, "Father, please don't scold me whenever you think of the court. It really feels uncomfortable for me to hear that."

Master Tongshan sighed slowly, "Your Majesty who has lost his memory may be the real Your Majesty."

The ministers looked at each other, feeling deeply hurt by the words of Master Tongshan and His Majesty.

Some ministers who were vulnerable in their hearts whimpered quietly, while others took the lead in crying to the crown prince and queen:

"Your Highness, Your Majesty, we, the old ministers, have worked diligently for many years and have never dared to slack off. I hope Your Highness and Your Majesty will understand."

"Your Highness, we old ministers do not know this Huang Youwei. His daring to do this has nothing to do with us old ministers."

"Your Highness, we old ministers have no regrets. Your Majesty will know once he turns the page."

The ministers knew that what was recorded in these two books were mostly jokes about themselves rather than evidence of guilt, so they were uneasy but not worried.

The prince smiled kindly: "Don't worry, everyone. Let's continue reading."

As Ye Shengxin flipped through the pages of the book, Zhang Liang, who could hear the emperor's comments on the spot, was also looking forward to it.

Although I don’t know the content, based on past experience, it must be very exciting.
