Chapter 128 My 26 Male Servant 3

Yao Shu had already issued the order, and if Jiang Qi said anything more it would be tantamount to disrespecting the emperor.

Jiang Xi and Jiu Ximing retreated back to their original positions.

Taiwei Wu Muying stepped out and reported: "Your Majesty, recently many foreign ships have landed on Pan Island in the South China Sea.

They started a business on Pan Island and applied to the local county governor for the right to reside and trade on Pan Island. I wonder if we should drive them away?"

Yao Shu raised her eyebrows, "Oh? Which country did they say they were from?"

"Your Majesty, they said they were from a great country in the West, and they said they would ask someone to mention the trade between the two countries to their emperor."

Yao Shu was silent for a while. With the current productivity, which is roughly the same as during the Han Dynasty, if maritime trade routes were opened up, other foreign countries would not pose much threat to the country.

They will not be defeated by Western powers like the Qing Dynasty. Yao Shu nodded and said, "Then give them these rights and find a few smart servants to serve them."

Taiwei Wu Muying understood, "Yes, I will obey your order."

The military officers behind him made reports one by one, and after talking about border affairs, they moved on to other matters.

After three hours of morning court, Yao Shu felt like her head was about to explode.

Seeing that no one had come forward, Gu Yuan shouted at the top of his voice: "If you have something to report, report it early. If not, leave the court!"

No one reported.

Gu Yuan looked back at Yao Shu, and then he signaled to the ministers: "Dismiss the court!"

Yao Shu stood up and left. The ministers knelt on the ground and said in unison: "Farewell, Your Majesty."

Yao Shu returned to her own Palace of Tranquil Longevity, where memorials sent by ministers piled up like a mountain.

Yao Shu rubbed her brows and sat on the dragon chair to review memorials.

With Gu Yuan's help, Yao Shu's workload was reduced by half, but Yao Shu still often saw some nonsensical memorials.

She asked the emperor if he had eaten, said there was a local man who returned lost property, and reported that the local flowers were very beautiful.

Yao Shu was almost sick from anger and wanted to throw away all these useless things. System 666 comforted Yao Shu.

[Don't be angry, does this mean that these local officials can be used by you? ]

Yao Shu frowned, "Why are you using them for my own purposes? Handing these useless memorials to me means you're handing all the important matters over to Jiang Yu, right?"

[Are you stupid? You reported such a trivial matter, which means that only you, the local officials, and the people who sent them have read these memorials. Others have no chance to read them.]

Yao Shu was a little confused and asked System 666 in confusion: "What does that mean?"

[Don’t you think the messages they send you are just like the things you normally chat with friends? ]

"You mean they're trying to get close to me?"

[…Almost. First, they are showing off their relationship with the emperor and expressing their loyalty to you.

If they were in cahoots with Jiang Qian, they would not submit the memorial to you, but would directly pass it to Jiang Qian without you. 】

After hearing this, Yao Shu felt much better. System 666 was speaking again.

[Also, the honest person who returned the lost property is saying that he has good law and order and is reporting this to you.

If the scenery of a place is good, you are asked to go and consult with the local officials. You can go on a private visit in disguise. 】

Yao Shu: ???

Is this what you mean?

Yao Shu just felt a headache, "Do they really mean this?"

[Well, this is a place where people eat each other. If you stand in the wrong line, you will be excluded or even killed.]

Yao Shu took a deep breath and said to Gu Yuan beside her: "Gu Yuan, please help me sort out those memorials that seem to be of no use.

For example, greetings, local security, and compliments on scenery are all categorized, and good work will be rewarded."

Gu Yuan was stunned for a moment, then immediately kowtowed to express his gratitude.

"Thank you, Your Majesty. I will definitely not let you down."

The State of Qi had just been established and Jiang Piao was the second emperor. Apart from the instability of the imperial power, Jiang Piao actually managed the country quite well.

Yao Shu couldn't understand why Jiang Yu would choose the mediocre Jiang Piao.

Although Jiang Piao works hard to make progress, Jiang Xi is more capable than Jiang Piao and also works just as hard to make progress.

[Yao Shu, guess why Jiang Yu didn't choose the second child Jiang Xi and the third child Jiang Chang? ]

"Because the second child is lazy and gluttonous, the third child...is also as mediocre as Jiang Piao."

[Yes, why not choose Jiang Chang? ]

"…Maybe because she's not the eldest child."

[It doesn't matter. Look at what their fathers did behind their backs.]

Yao Shu realized something and expressed her thoughts: "Jiang Piao's father's family has more power, but her grandmother's corruption and bribery were not discovered.

Jiang Yu put Jiang Piao on the throne so that Jiang Lu could attack Jiang Piao's father's family and then launch a coup d'état to gain the throne.

It can not only increase the reputation by combating corrupt families, but also win the hearts of the people and consolidate the imperial power again, and Jiang Piao is just an introduction. "

Yao Shu felt disappointed after she finished speaking. If this was true, Jiang Yu would definitely have evidence for Jiang Xi, but the time was not right yet.

If Jiang Piao makes a serious mistake, she will be forced to abdicate. If she disagrees, a coup will take place. After all, both theocracy and military power are in her hands.

It’s just that Jiang Piao died early, so this incident did not happen.

[Yes, you can use the same method, for example, if you find a mistake to confiscate the property of those corrupt officials, wouldn’t you have money? ]

Yao Shu raised her eyebrows. This was a good idea. "But isn't this too immoral?"

[Morality is a tool used by the majority to control the minority, and by those in high positions to control those in low positions.]

As an emperor, he must sacrifice a few people to consolidate his imperial power, and every good person who can become an official must be sacrificed. 】

Yao Shu had nothing to say, so she put down her brush and sighed.

Gu Yuan tilted his head and looked at Yao Shu, and asked worriedly: "Your Majesty, is there something on your mind? Gu Yuan may be able to solve it for you."

Yao Shu shook her head, "I'm fine, just a little tired."

"Your Majesty, would you like to go out and relax?"

"Well, I won't approve it for now. You stay here and sort out the memorials. I want to go for a walk alone."

Gu Yuan asked nervously: "Your Majesty..."

Yao Shu glanced at Gu Yuan sideways, and Gu Yuan immediately shut his mouth. She almost disobeyed the emperor's order.

Yao Shu nodded and went for a walk in the Imperial Garden.

There was a handsome man playing the guzheng in the pavilion. The sound of the zither was melodious, flowing like a trickle of water, tinkling and making a pleasant sound, which made people feel relaxed and happy.

Yao Shu looked at him carefully and found that she didn't know this person at all.

"Your Majesty~"

A shrill voice came from behind. Yao Shu turned around and saw a gentle and dignified thin man in green clothes walking up to her and bowing.

"Your Majesty, may your Majesty be blessed with good health and happiness."

Yao Shu:......

I don’t know this one either.

"My dear husband, please stand up, you..."

"His Majesty!"

Someone called her from behind. Yao Shu turned around and saw the man playing the piano slowly approaching and bowing to Yao Shu: "Your Majesty, I, Bai Mianmian, pay my respects to you. May your Majesty be blessed with good health."

Yao Shu:......

These guys are really annoying, they ruin her view of the scenery.

"Bai Aijun, please stand up. Would you two like to come and appreciate the lotus flowers too?" Yao Shu said cheerfully with a forced smile.

Fu Shuyu's eyes were as charming as silk, and she lowered her head shyly and said, "Your Majesty, do you still remember my birthday?"

Yao Shu smiled faintly and said, "Of course I remember. When my beloved husband's birthday comes, I will ask Gu Yuan to send you some new things from the Western Regions."
