After I traveled through the book, my sister kidnapped my mother

Shi Wanyue discovered many cases of corruption and bribery during this investigation, but the supervision on corruption has been strict in recent years so the situation is not as serious as before.

Most people were merely dismissed or demoted. Although many people were found guilty, the circumstances were not as serious as those investigated by Su Qingluo before.

Wen Zhimiao and Shi Guanchao cooperated with Shi Wanyue and went down the stairs to give some people a chance. Of course, those with serious circumstances were also dismissed and exiled.

After this matter was over, the court became relatively free. The weather in Tianqi has been relatively good in recent years, and there have been no major disasters.

Because of this incident, Shi Wanyue was promoted to a higher position and had real decision-making power in the Censorate.

He Yuanyao has some free time now. The border has been stabilized, and as a general, she is no longer in a hurry to go to the border and she has a fixed vacation every year.

Zheng Shu and Qi Linglang have both settled down now, and Zheng Shu's assets are much greater than Qi Linglang's.

Although Qi Linglang also made contributions in the Ministry of Works and assisted Zheng Shu in doing a lot of things, overall, Zheng Shu's contribution was greater.

New sea-going ships have been built. Although they are not as advanced as steamships, they can reach farther seas.

However, Wen Zhimiao was not in a hurry to send out ships. After all, the war had just ended and Tianqi needed some time to recuperate. Moreover, the compensation and tribute from Beirong had not yet been received.

As the end of the year is approaching, Wen Zhimiao has set the time for the various countries to pay homage before the New Year this year, and the Beirong will also come to pay homage this time.

The Ministry of Rites, Honglu Temple and other people were in charge of this matter.

"The person from Beirong who came this time was actually King Brahma? I thought she would never come to Tianqi again in her life." Wen Zhimiao was a little surprised when she saw the list.

"Indeed." Not only was Wen Zhimiao surprised, but Shi Wanyue was also surprised.

After all, before the war with Apocalypse, King Brahma had suffered few defeats. Ever since she joined the army at the age of fifteen, her name was enough to scare people.

However, in the battle with Tianqi, they lost more than they won, and even forced Beirong to submit to Tianqi.

The previous King of Beirong might have done so, but it was definitely not the fundamental reason for Beirong's defeat.

"It doesn't matter. When she comes, just let A Yao go and ask her." Wen Zhimiao learned that King Brahma still admired He Yuanyao very much.

"You're ordering A Yao around again." Shi Wanyue poked Wen Zhimiao's cheek with a smile.

Wen Zhimiao leaned against her and chuckled: "That doesn't count. A Yao herself admires her, what if we can become friends?"

"King Fan has spent his entire life for Beirong. I don't think he will really tear his face with Tianqi now. Besides, Beirong now has a large tract of fertile land in the west, so there is no need to compete with Tianqi anymore."

This is what Shi Wanyue thought. Moreover, according to the news from the Dragon Shadow Guard, Beirong seemed to be actively learning the culture of Apocalypse.

A dynasty that began to learn etiquette and the civilization of the Central Plains was destined to be less barbaric than the primitive grassland peoples.

Envoys from various countries will be coming this time, and Wen Zhimiao did not let the great general He Yuanyao sit idle. He assigned her a task and asked her to be responsible for receiving some of the envoys.

When He Yuanyao received the appointment, he looked at Wen Zhimiao with resentment.

If it wasn't for the morning court session, she would definitely have gone to cause trouble for Wen Zhimiao.

But because it was during the morning court session, she had no choice but to accept the offer reluctantly.

However, after the morning court session, she went straight to Zhangtai Palace, not only to get a free meal but also to express her strong dissatisfaction.

"Okay, okay, you've been resting for how long? You haven't done any serious work in half a year. You only have two hours of training every day, and the rest of the time you're either playing polo or doing other things. Today you come to the palace for free meals, and tomorrow you go to Shushu and Linglang Paris for free meals. From time to time, you drag Tongtong and Lingling to Fu'an City and Nanshao City. What's wrong with asking you to receive the envoys?" How could Wen Zhimiao not know what she did day by day?

"Hey, didn't I bring you some local specialties?"

"I want you to bring them. The governors and governors are eager to send them to me every day, for fear that I don't know what they have."

"They can't reach your and Wanyue's hearts, but I'm different. Don't you like what I bring?" He Yuanyao said righteously.

Shi Wanyue couldn't help but laugh: "That makes sense."

Wen Zhimiao curled his lips and said, "Okay, entertaining the envoys is not a big deal. Gesang will come this time, and King Brahma will also come. What's wrong with you entertaining them?"

"I didn't say no. You and the master have already discussed it. How can I say no?" He Yuanyao is not as willful and childish as before. She also knows that even Wen Zhimiao can't do whatever he wants.

"Oh, isn't it Minister Su who is still with you? She has been idle for a long time, and she will be busy this time." Wen Zhimiao said with a smile.

He Yuanyao looked at her speechlessly: "Not a good person."

Wen Zhimiao did not refute. After all, if an emperor wanted to be a good person, he would be exhausted and it would not be pleasing.

Shi Wanyue suddenly thought of another thing: "How is Lingling's health?"

Duan Jiling did not return to Yunjing after going to Nanshao this time. Bian Ruitong stayed with her there.

"Not very well. She vomited blood from time to time when she went out to play. Tongtong couldn't stand it anymore and didn't allow her to run around anymore, so she took her back to Nanshao. Elder Lao also asked her to take good care of herself for a while before talking to her again."

He Yuanyao sighed: "I hope it will get better again this time."

They really had no way to deal with this kind of thing, all they could do was to try to provide some medicinal herbs.

Perhaps people's prayers really work. After the New Year, there was finally good news in the letter from Bian Ruitong, saying that Duan Jiling's health had recovered a little. Although he was still weak, he was not in such danger for the time being.

But that will be a matter after the New Year. The most important thing right now is the visit of other countries.

Half a month later, envoys from various countries had almost all arrived.

Beirong brought more supplies with him this time, so he arrived a little later.

He Yuanyao went to pick up Beirong and his group in person.

King Brahma personally led the team, riding a black horse, and from a distance he looked very heroic.

"Long time no see." He Yuanyao greeted her cheerfully when she saw her.

A woman who was shorter than Brahma King came closer to her and asked, "Sister, are you two on good terms?"

“Not really, I just have some admiration for it.” King Brahma said softly.

"That's right. If it weren't for her, you wouldn't have lost."

"Long time no see." King Fan did not answer her, but responded to He Yuanyao with a faint smile.

Then he dismounted and performed the etiquette of an envoy to He Yuanyao.

When they first met, they were equal opponents, but now they are the general of the superior country and the envoy of the vassal state.

He Yuanyao dismounted and helped her up: "No need to do this."

Then He Yuanyao's eyes fell on the veiled woman next to her: "Who is this?"

"My sister is from the clan. I am curious about the prosperity of Tianqi, so I came to see it. However, my appearance was damaged when I was young. I hope the general will forgive me."

"It's okay, it's okay." He Yuanyao would not force anyone like that.

After a few pleasantries, he led the people to the post station according to the procedure. Before leaving, He Yuanyao gave King Fan a jar of wine: "I think this is the best wine in Yunjing City. Your Majesty thinks so too. This wine is brewed by the best winemaker in Yunjing City. Your Majesty said that he hopes you like it."

King Brahma accepted the wine, said "OK" with a smile, and He Yuanyao did not stay any longer and left first.
