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

Ye Shengxin knew that His Majesty was moved, so she continued her efforts.

"Little Duck, don't underestimate the obvious benefits of wool. The mutton there can also be made into various delicacies and sold throughout the Great Zhou, promoting the food economy. Of course, the most important point is that under the large tracts of land occupied by the Hu people, there are mineral resources that we can't use for the time being, but our future descendants will definitely be able to use."

Seeing that Emperor Jingming was interested, Ye Shengxin explained in detail the uses of various mineral resources, which made Emperor Jingming and the ministers excited.

They asked how Ye Xingxin got so many magical things from that world, and it turned out they came from underground, so they had to fight for their descendants.

Even if they are not the Hu tribe, it would be nice to expand the resource area in other territories.

Emperor Jingming: "Your idea is quite strange."

Ye Xingxin gave him a look that said of course.

[Since ancient times, traveling through time and space, being able to create all kinds of snacks and novelties is naturally surprising and admirable, but it is far less exciting than expanding territory. 】

[Only by controlling more land and leaving huge treasures for future generations can a time traveler achieve the most important goal in his life.]

System: [Host, to be honest, your idea is indeed strange. Previously, I thought that with your timid nature, you would only struggle in your official duties in this life. ]

Ye Xingxin rolled his eyes and said, "What are you talking about? I, Ye Xingxin, am a radical who can't be more radical. Don't lump me in with a conservative old man."

[But to be honest, if I had met His Majesty, a man who could humble himself and work hard, yet was aloof and not confused, he should have done this kind of work. If he were a natural king who was good at maintaining the status quo, I wouldn't have mentioned this.]

Ye Shengxin looked at Emperor Jingming, who had strong features and imposing wisdom, and nodded secretly.

[An emperor who cannot expand his territory cannot be called a great man. Your Majesty, under my urging, must work hard in this life. ]

Emperor Jingming: ...

He gritted his teeth and thought back to the past four months: Wasn't it enough that I struggled?

My reputation is about to be sabotaged and I am still being sabotaged. It’s simply... Emperor Jingming felt a lump in his chest and felt extremely uncomfortable.

Finally, he flicked his sleeves and left.

Under the effect of the Black Jade Ointment, when Ye Xingxin was able to get out of the wheelchair and walk like a normal person, Pingqing Hou brought Rong Anle back to the capital in a grand manner.

After the downfall of the Huang and Zhang families, the father and daughter spent more than two months cleaning up the mess. They also reorganized the relationship network of the two families and finally settled the trouble. They brought the local prefect Huang Shikang, who had committed many crimes, back to Beijing to await trial.

After receiving the news, Ye Shengxin decided to take Emperor Jingming, who had bought a lot of wool, to a teahouse or tavern on that day and meet him at the window on the second floor.

However, just before leaving, he received an imperial edict from the palace.

Ye Shengxin had no choice but to go back, pack himself up, change into official uniform and go to the palace.

An hour later, she met Rong Ping and Rong Anle in the Golden Palace.

The prince stood at the head of the hall and read out the imperial edict in front of all the civil and military officials.

Rong Ping and Rong Anle were rewarded for their contributions in suppressing the rebellion. Rong Ping was promoted to the rank of second-rank marquis, and Rong Anle was promoted from the original lieutenant general to the rank of fourth-rank general, and was granted the title of General Changning.

The two accepted the order and expressed their gratitude.

Ye Xingxin was confused: [No, isn't His Majesty staying in the Ye Mansion with amnesia? When can he issue an order? Has His Majesty recovered his memory? ]

System: [It is possible. ]

The prince coughed and pretended to explain casually: "Lord Rong, this is the intention of this palace and the ministers. Congratulations."

Rong Ping glanced at Ye Xingxin, whose doubts were immediately gone, and bowed: "Thank you, Your Highness, and thank you all for your affirmation of Rong."

He and Rong Anle bowed to the ministers in gratitude, and the ministers returned the greetings and congratulated them.

"Master Ye, it's your turn next."

Ye Xingxin's legs and feet had recovered, but he came in a wheelchair just because he could not attend the court in the morning. The ministers, for their own safety, tacitly chose not to know about this.

Ye Shengxin sat down with peace of mind and received the order.

After reading the imperial edict, Ye Shengxin was dumbfounded.

The third-rank Jingzhao Yin? She? Why?

[System, is there something fishy going on here? Isn't this promotion too high? It's higher than Lord Rong's.]

System: [Have you forgotten that the downfall of the Zhang and Huang families was also yours, that the Queen Mother is half dead, and that the remnants of the previous dynasty have been liquidated. You don’t really think that Lord Zhang will not report this matter after he officially attends the court, do you? ]

Ye Xingxin was stunned: [Then then…then does His Highness also know about those outrageous things I have done? ]

System: [Host, what are you worried about? You still have Emperor Jingming as your shield. If you really need to be reprimanded, he will bear the brunt.]

Ye Xingxin smiled again: [You are right, His Majesty is the emperor. As long as no one reprimands him, no one can reprimand me, otherwise it would be an indirect offense to His Majesty. Oh, my brain, why is it so slow again, as if something is missing.]

The system was speechless: [Perhaps your wisdom was stolen. ]

Ye Xingxin rolled his eyes: [Go, go, go away, don't make trouble, can't you see I am receiving an order. ]

The prince was furious and handed the imperial edict to Ye Shengxin, then announced that she could go back to recuperate.

Before leaving, Ye Shengxin wanted to say something several times but stopped herself. The prince knew what Ye Shengxin was thinking but pretended not to see it.

After leaving the palace, Ye Xingxin saw Zhang Shuyu, who was waiting for her beside the carriage to go to Jingzhao Yin to take up his post together. She asked, "Since ancient times, Jingzhao Yin has always been a fifth-rank official. Why am I a third-rank official? Have I been promoted or not?"

Zhang Liang had warned Zhang Shuyu about Ye Xingxin's promotion, so he knew the inside story and was the most suitable person to explain. Upon hearing this, he said:

"Is it possible that you, Shengxin, have done a good job as Jingzhao Yin, and the court wants to reward you, but also wants you to continue working in this position, so after discussion, the rank of Jingzhao Yin was raised."

"Of course, this has never happened before, but there has never been a person like you, Sheng Xin, before. So it is reasonable to break the old rules for you."

Zhang Shuyu's explanation was reassuring to hear. Ye Shengxin felt that he could not find any objection and accepted it happily.

When the two arrived at the yamen, no one came to complain. Only Emperor Jingming was sitting alone in the lobby, knitting a sweater.

Ye Shengxin's eyelids twitched as he looked at the wool scarf, wool hat, wool gloves and wool socks he had knitted next to him.

My old swan, what has she done to His Majesty? He doesn't attend court every day and just stays in this little temple weaving wool. It's such a damn sin.

"Are you back?" Emperor Jingming glanced at Ye Shengxin, then lowered his head to continue his work.
