Ren Yuan and his strategists discussed it for a whole day, because it was quite difficult to come up with such specific rules and regulations.

Some debates are inevitable during this process, since everyone has their own ideas, so a little discussion is unavoidable.

At times like this, Ren Yuan would happily watch from the sidelines, finding it rare to see these strategists arguing like this, and he was happy to watch the spectacle.

The group spent the whole day in the main hall, even having their meals there, until nightfall before they finally left.

Moreover, when they left, everyone was still flushed, clearly not yet fully recovered from the atmosphere they had just been in.

Ren Yuan was the only one left in the main hall. The strategists had gone home, and he still had to keep working. He needed to summarize and organize the opinions that everyone had raised so that they could continue the discussion tomorrow.

"Indeed, it's too difficult to be a wise ruler; no wonder so many people want to be a tyrant."

After thinking about the few wise rulers who died from exhaustion in their past lives, Ren Yuan remarked that it's no wonder people prefer to be incompetent rulers.

"Your Highness, would you like to have a meal?"

The Zhao Song imperial family had left behind many eunuchs. When the Bianjing imperial palace was sealed off, the Dayi army gathered the eunuchs together and assigned them to clean the palace every day, which was a way to give them a livelihood. Of course, those who wanted to return to their hometowns were given travel expenses, and those who committed evil deeds received their due punishment.

Therefore, those who remain in the palace are mostly relatively innocent eunuchs.

Ren Yuan had no intention of relying on eunuchs. In his view, they were just a group of special service personnel. Although they were not in danger of passing on the throne to anyone because they had no descendants, they were indeed loyal in a certain sense.

But Ren Yuan was not afraid of this. He was confident that he could pass on the empire he had built to his son, whom he had personally trained. Therefore, the profession of eunuch was destined not to be sought after in Dayi, at least during the reigns of the first five monarchs of Dayi.

"What did the kitchen prepare today?"

Ren Yuan glanced at the sky and touched his stomach; he was indeed hungry. Since things had come to this, he might as well eat first.

"Your Highness, the imperial chef is on leave today, so the princesses personally went to the imperial kitchen to cook for you."

The eunuch replied.

"Wait a minute, you just mentioned several princesses?"

Ren Yuan found it a bit strange. "I only have two wives, right? Where did all these 'several' come from? You little eunuch, can't you even count?"

"Oh? Yes, how many are there?"

The eunuch looked at Ren Yuan with some confusion, thinking: "Three is still several, what's wrong with Your Highness? You don't even remember how many wives you have? It seems being a monarch is really not easy; you're so young and your memory is already failing you."

"Those guys?"

Ren Yuan continued to ask.

"Should there be several?"

The eunuch was also unsure; it seemed as if the prince was asking him a question he couldn't understand.

"Fine, fine, then tell me, what do you want to eat?"

Seeing that the two were starting to talk at cross purposes, Ren Yuan decisively changed the subject, saying, "I knew I had nothing in common with eunuchs!"

We must set a rule for our descendants: eunuchs must never be granted real power. At most, they should be promoted to a nominal fifth-rank official position, and they must not have authority over court officials. Of course, if a eunuch like Zheng He emerges in the future, that's a different story; each case must be analyzed individually.

"This servant will go and take a look."

The eunuch hurriedly left the main hall, utterly bewildered as to what he had just said wrong.

After the eunuch left, Ren Yuan continued to tidy up some things he had just gathered. There were just too many things, and he needed to sort them out properly.

He was thinking so intently that he didn't realize what was happening until the aroma of food wafted around him.

"It smells so good, Yun'er, Shishi, what have you made... Third Sister?"

Ren originally thought that his two wives had brought him the food, but when he looked up, there was only one person. Upon closer inspection, he saw that the person wearing armor was none other than Hu Sanniang.

However, Hu Sanniang seemed to have dressed up specially today. Her hairstyle was not like the one she usually wore on the battlefield, but more like the one she wore when she changed into a dress.

"Brother, you've worked hard. Have some soup first."

In the candlelight, Hu Sanniang smiled slightly at Ren Yuan and handed him a bowl of soup with her delicate hand.

"Oh, thank you, Third Aunt. Have you eaten?"

"No, this was made by my two older sisters for you. I don't know if it suits your taste."

Ren Yuan tasted it and thought, "Hmm, this soup is really good, fresh and delicious!"

"It suits my taste perfectly, it's so delicious! Oh, you're so kind of you, you're already exhausted from guarding the palace, and you still specially cooked for me..."

Ren Yuan didn't continue. How could he not know Hu Sanniang's feelings for him? It's just that he's been either on the battlefield or on his way to the battlefield these days, and he really hasn't had much time to cultivate a relationship with Hu Sanniang.

You could say that with Ren Yuan's current status, marrying Hu Sanniang directly wouldn't be a problem, but... he still wants things to happen naturally.

"Your brother knows how much your little sister loves you."

Hu Sanniang, on the contrary, is a person who dares to love and speak her mind. She is very direct and expresses her thoughts without any concealment.

“Brother has the world in his heart and thinks of the common people. I am willing to wait until the world is at peace before I enter your heart.”

As Hu Sanniang spoke, she handed Ren Yuan dishes and served him rice.

"Third Sister, you've suffered so much."

Ren Yuan put down the bowl and stopped Hu Sanniang from doing her thing.

"You shouldn't wrong yourself, this is my fault..."

"Brother, you don't need to say anything more. As long as you have your little sister in your heart, that's enough."

Looking at Ren Yuan's earnest expression, Hu Sanniang smiled. At that moment, she recalled the scene when they first met, where Ren Yuan pretended to be the God of Heaven to answer her questions. She also remembered her own brother's constant saying, "Little sister, you will be of immeasurable nobility in the future."

After all these years, it's finally here.

"Third Sister, all these years in the fight against enemies like the Liao Kingdom, I have indeed forgotten to give you an explanation. Now that the world is initially at peace, if you..."

"Brother, don't speak yet."

Hu Sanniang put her finger to Ren Yuan's lips to stop him.

Then she picked up a piece of meat, fed it to Ren Yuan, looked at him expectantly, and asked:

"Is it tasty?"

"Good, delicious..."

In this situation, is there a second answer?

"Brush~"

After Ren Yuan finished speaking, Hu Sanniang smiled sweetly, then reached out and pulled out the hairpin from her hair, shook her head vigorously, and her black hair danced, wafting a faint fragrance as it brushed past Ren Yuan's nose.

Then, a body suddenly appeared in his arms. Although it was wearing armor, the armor was too thin.

"Putting on your armor, Third Sister, this is a night raid."

"Brother must be tired after a long day of official business, so let me sneak in for a night raid."

……

"Huh? Why did your Shadow people leave the main hall?"

The Shengwu Army soldiers responsible for guarding the palace suddenly noticed that the Shadow Army responsible for the security of the main hall had withdrawn, which puzzled them.

"We don't need you for the time being. Please don't approach the main hall. His Highness needs to rest."

"it is good."

Meanwhile, inside the palace, the night raid continued.

"Third, Third Sister."

"Ok?"

"That meat was a bit salty..."
