Chapter 130 My 26 Male Servant 5

Yao Shu glanced at Le Xin in the corner. Le Xin was stunned for a moment, then understood what she meant and walked to Yao Shu's side.

Le Xin bowed and said, "Your Majesty, Aunt Gu Yuan is waiting for you in the back hall."

Yao Shu raised her eyebrows and said to Meng Qianqiu apologetically, "Gu Yuan is so fast, I won't drink this bowl of soup.

Qianqiu, please bring it to me next time, and I will drink it slowly."

Yao Shu put the soup in the male slave's hand. Meng Qianqiu's face changed slightly, and he tried to persuade Yao Shu: "Your Majesty, it's not too late to leave after you finish drinking it."

Yao Shu shook her head and said to Meng Qianqiu, "I have important government affairs to attend to. I will accompany you when I have time."

Yao Shu turned to Le Xin and said, "Send Lord Meng back. I'm leaving first."

Le Xin bowed and followed Yao Shu's order: "I obey your command. Lord Meng, please go back."

Meng Qianqiu pursed his lips, and finally compromised and bowed to Yao Shu: "I will take my leave."

Le Xin followed Meng Qianqiu away. Yao Shu came to the back hall and saw Gu Yuan standing in the corner waiting with the official job list in his hand.

Gu Yuan saw Yao Shu bowing and saying, "Your Majesty, this is the official job list of the Shangshu Pavilion, please have a look."

Gu Yuan handed the official job list to Yao Shu. Yao Shu took it and looked at it. The county warehouse chief of Qushui County was Bai Guangyao, who was also Bai Mianmian's aunt.

The county warehouse stewards of Luoxia County, Linghai County, Bai County and Hubin County are Li Tao, Zhang Qihua, Yang Han and Chang Qiguan respectively.

Yao Shu ordered Gu Yuan: "Call Zai Fu Ba."

Gu Yuan accepted the order: "Yes, I will go right away."

Gu Yuan withdrew, and Qi An walked up to Yao Shu and said, "Your Majesty, Minister Hou requests to see you."

Yao Shu nodded without saying anything, then returned to her throne to review memorials.

Qi An brought Hou Zhouxiu behind Yao Shu, and Hou Zhouxiu saluted without arrogance or servility: "Your Majesty, I, Hou Zhouxiu, pay my respects to you. May your Majesty be blessed with good health."

Yao Shu nodded, "Get up, what do you want from me?"

Hou Zhouxiu looked straight at Yao Shu without saying anything. Yao Shu smiled and said, "You are so brave to look directly at the emperor without orders."

Hou Zhouxiu immediately knelt on the ground and kowtowed, his tone not at all panicked.

"I dare not. I just think that as an emperor, Your Majesty should not indulge in pleasure, be obsessed with beauty and ignore state affairs."

Qi An looked confused. Is His Majesty obsessed with beauty?

Yao Shu's face was calm. "You get up first. Tell me where I am obsessed with beauty and where I am ignoring state affairs."

Hou Zhouxiu stood up and listed Yao Shu's mistakes one by one: "The locusts in Qushui County have been rampant for a month and have not been effectively controlled. Isn't this ignoring the affairs of state?

Lord Meng often goes to the Yangxin Palace to accompany His Majesty. Isn't it because he is obsessed with beauty and doesn't handle the memorials seriously? "

Yao Shu took the teacup handed over by Qi An and said calmly, "I am also very curious why the local granaries can't produce food despite the country's good strength.

Although I am an emperor, I cannot always manage local affairs.

If this country were really obsessed with beauty, it would have declined long ago."

Yao Shu walked to Hou Zhouxiu and scraped the tea leaves floating on the tea, saying casually.

"Besides, do I still need a man like you to guide my country?

You Hou family members are so bold that you dare to interfere in my kingdom."

Hou Zhouxiu didn't dare to raise his head when he heard the kowtow, Yao Shu continued: "And how do you know about state affairs?

Did your elder sister Hou Zaizhi tell you?

Hou Zhouxiu, I want to tell you that it is a very serious matter for a man from the harem like you to be involved in politics.

The punishment could be as light as fifty lashes of the cane or as severe as demotion.

You are so bold, didn't the eunuchs in the harem and your family tell you the palace rules? "

Hou Zhouxiu was sweating profusely, kneeling on the ground and begging for mercy: "Your Majesty, I know I was wrong. I was just worried about the people..."

"I have said that a man should not interfere in women's affairs. This is not something a little man like you can get involved in."

Hou Zhouxiu didn't dare to speak. Yao Shu blew gently on the tea, and the ripples created were like the pounding of Hou Zhouxiu's heart.

Yao Shu took a sip of tea. The tea had a bitter taste but then turned sweet, and the fragrance filled the air. Unfortunately, Yao Shu didn't like tea.

Yao Shu sat back on the dragon chair and issued an order: "Qi An, the Minister Hou has interfered in government affairs and disrupted the government order. He is demoted to a minor servant and confined to his home for one year. No one can see him without my order."

Hou Zhouxiu's chest heaved, and he said in disbelief, "Your Majesty, I am just worried about you."

"I don't want to hear any more nonsense. Someone take him away."

Qi An walked up to Hou Zhouxiu and said with disdain, "Little Hou, please go away. His Majesty cannot bear to see you. Don't blame me for not reminding you."

Hou Zhouxiu pursed his lips, bowed to Yao Shu, and then left the Yangxin Palace.

Yao Shu lay on the dragon throne exhausted. These men in the harem were really annoying.

Yao Shu continued to review memorials, so Yuan brought Zhili Nei Shi Zai Fu Ba to the front of the Yangxin Palace.

Zai Fuba bowed his head and said, "Your Majesty, I am here to see you. I wonder why Your Majesty wants me here?"

Yao Shu threw Hou Zaizhi's memorial in front of Zai Fuba and looked at him with cold eyes.

"See for yourself. I am in no mood to repeat myself."

Zai Fuba thought to himself that something was wrong. He picked up Hou Zaizhi's memorial and read it. The more he read, the uglier his expression became.

Yao Shu asked: "My dear, do you have anything to say?"

Zai Fuba hastened to testify: "Your Majesty, I guarantee with my own head that this matter has nothing to do with me.

I have already asked the local county warehouse chief Bai Guangyao to release grain, but I don’t know why people are still starving to death.”

“So you’re saying that we can’t take out any of the food that we stockpiled a few days ago?

I will give you one month to investigate. If you cannot find any problems, you will be the official guarantee."

Yao Shu snorted coldly, and Zai Fuba looked shocked. It would take half a month to go back and forth, which meant they were going to take off her official hat.

Yao Shu looked down at Zai Fu Ba, "What's wrong? Are you dissatisfied with me?"

"No... I will definitely complete the task."

"Okay, without further delay, you should go to Qushui County and investigate the granary. I don't have the patience to wait, and the people still need to eat."

"Yes, Wei Chen is resigning."

After Zai Fuba left, Yao Shu continued to review memorials.

The night is getting dark.

Yao Shu yawned, and Gu Yuan walked over to her side and said to her, "Your Majesty, today is the fifteenth day of the lunar month. Are you going to Lord Feng's place?"

Yao Shu paused holding the brush, thought for a moment and said, "Go."

If she didn't go, she would be scolded to death by Feng Jun's mother, Marquis Changdong. Yao Shu stood up and said to Gu Yuan, "Go to Weiyang Palace."

"Yes."

Gu Yuan swung up his whisk and shouted, "Go to Weiyang Palace!"

Yao Shu walked out of the Yangxin Palace, sat on the dragon chariot, and was carried to the Weiyang Palace by servants.

Yao Shu got off the sedan chair and walked into the Weiyang Palace.

Feng Junfu Beimin was standing in the palace waiting for Yao Shu's arrival. When he saw Yao Shu appear, he smiled.

Yao Shu walked up to Fu Beimin, gently took his hand and said, "Mr. Feng, just sit and wait for me to come. There is no need to stand. You have to be careful of your body."

The northern people have kind eyes and brows, wear gold and jade hairpins on their heads, and plump and translucent pearls hang in their ear holes, making them look extremely noble.

Fu Beimin pulled Yao Shu to sit on the chair and said, "Your Majesty works day and night, and I am worried about your health, so I am waiting for you.

Seeing that Your Majesty is strong and healthy, I feel relieved."

Yao Shu asked her husband Beimin: "How is Fei Leng? Did she listen to the Master's words?"
