The daughter of the emperor is beautiful and holds the power over the world

Chapter 313: Your Majesty, don’t you think the medicine is bitter?

After Ling Mohan finished the battle, he rushed to the east coast. When he learned that Si Yan had gone to Gao State, he led his troops back to Boao Mountain.

The huge wealth of the Bo family was transported to the Shangjing treasury in Daxuan under the personal supervision of Ling Mohan and Duke Anguo.

Boya did not rush back to Shangjing, but stayed in Boao Mountain to thoroughly reorganize the Bo family, re-establish family rules, and formulate the future development direction of the Bo family.

Those who committed serious crimes such as the second elder of the clan were all publicly executed in the Bo family, while those who committed minor crimes were beaten with a stick according to the family rules and expelled from the Bo family.

Not everyone was unhappy that the Bo family donated so much money and property. After all, it did not affect their lives at all.

The Bo family's assets are still there, and the Bo family's foundation is still there. Without these wealth that is as rich as a country, the Bo family has been freed from those bloody fights, and the remaining Bo family members have become more united.

Qi Ziyu was shocked as he watched the wealth that was enough to rival a country being transported back to the Daxuan treasury and the archives that recorded the gold and silver.

He admired the passion of the Bo family's ancestors for the country, and also admired Boya's noble and selfless donation of his wealth.

With so much wealth, Boya can keep it for himself and spend it however he wants.

But he followed the wishes of his ancestors and donated it without reservation.

Qi Ziyu sat in the study and fell into a long silence.

Si Ru brought over a bowl of medicine and said, "The Daxuan treasury has increased in wealth, but why is His Majesty so worried?"

Qi Ziyu said calmly, "The Bo family is selfless. I don't know how to repay this favor."

"Isn't that easy? Your Majesty, what do you think the Bo family needs, what does Master Boya need?"

Si Ru said as she brought the medicine to Qi Ziyu's mouth.

Qi Ziyu remained calm as he took the bowl of medicine and drank it in one gulp.

"It's really not easy." Qi Ziyu said with a smile.

Boya refused the position of prime minister, and Qi Ziyu really didn't know what to give Boya.

Si Ru watched Qi Ziyu drink the medicine without frowning, and couldn't help but opened her lips: "Your Majesty, don't you think it's bitter?"

Qi Ziyu looked at the little girl in front of him and asked, "Is this medicine very bitter?"

"Isn't it bitter?" Si Ru tried the medicine every time. This time she added a few new herbs and felt that the medicine was particularly bitter.

She was worried that His Majesty would find it hard to drink, but she didn't expect that His Majesty would finish it without even blinking.

Qi Ziyu smiled slightly: "I have often been poisoned since I was a child. My physical foundation is weak. The medicine I drink is not much less than water. I have become accustomed to it and don't find it bitter."

Qi Ziyu's tone was indifferent, but Si Ru felt very uncomfortable.

"Little girl, you don't have to test medicine on me anymore. Now everyone in the palace is trustworthy."

Qi Ziyu knew that ever since the last accident, Si Ru had become particularly careful about what he put into his mouth.

Whether it is medicine or food, she will check and try it carefully.

This girl has tasted all the medicines he has taken.

"It's okay, I don't find it bitter either." Si Ru put away the medicine bowl. "I just tasted it twice. This will also help me judge the efficacy of the medicine and improve my medical skills."

Qi Ziyu's expression softened: "You don't have to taste it every time, I'll let others do it."

"No, I don't trust the others." Si Ru insisted.

Her Majesty's health cannot afford any more accidents, and she would not feel safe if anyone tasted her.

Before Qi Ziyu could speak, Si Ru had already changed the subject.

"Your Majesty, the Bo family donated money and property for the good of Daxuan. If Your Majesty can take good care of your body, maintain a strong body, and govern Daxuan well, I believe Master Bo will be happy."

Qi Ziyu laughed and said, "Girl, have I not been obedient recently? When have I not taken my medicine properly?"

"You have taken the medicine, but your Majesty's health cannot be improved by just taking medicine. Your Majesty still needs to rest."

As she spoke, Si Ru snatched the memorial from Qi Ziyu's hand and put it on the table.

Qi Ziyu smiled, picked it up calmly, and continued to look at it.

He can take the medicine, but he also has to deal with these memorials.

Si Ru was very angry, but she also knew that Qi Ziyu, as the emperor, had a heavy responsibility, so she couldn't say anything more.

The emperor's diligence in government is a blessing to the people of the world, but it is a drain on his health.

Qi Ziyu was silent for a moment, and immediately summoned the Imperial Censor Jia Zhongchun into the palace.

"Lord Jia, draft an edict for me."

"Your Majesty, please speak." Jia Zhongchun knelt in front of the table, holding a pen and waiting for the emperor to speak.

"The first decree is to appoint Imperial Censor Jia Zhongchun as Prime Minister, commanding all officials and assisting me in handling court affairs."

"Your Majesty..." Jia Zhongchun was surprised and quickly stood up from the table.

"This...what virtue and ability do I have to be worthy of the position of Prime Minister?" Jia Zhongchun knelt in the center of the hall and said with some fear.

"Lord Jia, please do not be too modest. Apart from the Grand Tutor and the General, you are the first person to support me. I believe you can serve as Prime Minister."

Qi Ziyu looked at Jia Zhongchun with a gentle expression, "I was sorry for you at the border."

Qi Ziyu thought about when he was still the Prince of Yong and imprisoned Jia Zhongchun, who was then the imperial envoy, at the border.

Jia Zhongchun quickly said to Qi Ziyu, "Your Majesty, I am terrified. I cursed Your Majesty at the border. I am truly ashamed and guilty."

Jia Zhongchun wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. Back then, at the border, he was forced to be a vassal of Xin Rui. Lord Si Yan saved his life in the chaos and urged him to support King Yong.

He therefore changed sides and supported Prince Yong, but it was also true that he had been extremely disrespectful to His Majesty at the beginning.

"Lord Jia, your words are too kind. I am very pleased that you have the nerve to scold me."

Qi Ziyu smiled slightly, "What's past is past. Lord Jia, please stand up. I promoted you to the position of Prime Minister because I saw your talent."

The emperor was very sincere, so Jia Zhongchun had nothing to say.

"I bow to thank Your Majesty for your great grace. Long live Your Majesty." Jia Zhongchen bowed to Qi Ziyu.

Since Your Majesty ascended the throne, you have recruited a large number of talents and many vacancies in the court have been filled. Only the positions of Prime Minister and Minister of Revenue are still vacant. I didn't expect that Your Majesty would now appoint him as Prime Minister.

"The second decree I want you to draft is to confer the title of Marquis of Boguang on Boya, the head of the Bo family."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Jia Zhongchun had heard that the Bo family, the richest merchant family in the world, donated countless gold and silver accumulated over generations, and this matter was also praised in Shangjing.

The people all praised the Bo family for their selflessness and praised the noble character of the Bo family head, Master Boya.

Even the Yayue Pavilion founded by Mr. Boya has become a place where people stop to watch.

The emperor said solemnly, "I will also write an inscription myself and have someone make a golden plaque to send to the Bo family to commend the Bo family for their contribution of money and goods. I will leave this matter to you."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Jia Zhongchun said loudly.

The emperor wrote the four characters "Gao Shan Jing Xing" and had them made into a gold-plated plaque. He sent it to Boao Mountain together with the imperial edict conferring the title of Marquis Boguang on Boya.

The emperor also sent several carts of imperial wine to the Bo family. The Bo family was greatly encouraged by the emperor's praise.

Boya was also granted the title of Marquis Boguang at a young age, which made his clansmen respect him even more.

Zuo Hang came in person to announce the decree, and after he finished, he said to Boya, "Marquis Boguang, His Majesty has prepared a house for you in Shangjing. Marquis Boguang can move into the house anytime when you return to Shangjing."

Boya said humbly and politely, "Please, General Zuo, thank Your Majesty on Boya's behalf."

The Bo family felt like they were reborn at this point.

The wealth donated by the Bo family also won them great fame.

From then on, the Bo family's business became better and bigger.
