early morning.
The imperial capital of Daxia.
"Huhuhu..."
The north wind is still blowing, the snow is still falling, and the sky and the earth have long been painted white.
At this time, in the East Palace.
"Hululu..."
In the temporary office hall of the East Palace, snores come and go, and each person's snore is different, playing a symphony that can make people "feeling restless"!
The person sitting on the main seat and sleeping lightly is the prince of Daxia, Xia Tian!
Below is Sima Jian, the left prime minister of Daxia!
There are also the second, third and fifth princes of Daxia!
There are new six ministers!
There is also the imperial censor who is wearing a red robe and no one dares to mess with him!
Anyway, there were quite a few important ministers of Great Xia who entered the East Palace to work, and they were all lying on their seats without any image, or lying directly on the wooden floor, sleeping in an imageless manner!
"Gululu..."
In the hall, the stove was burning brightly, and a pot of water was boiling, making a sharp chirping sound.
At this time.
The maid of the East Palace who was guarding the stove quickly picked up the kettle and asked it to calm down!
Lily is here!
She entered the door with light steps, like a light lark, walked gracefully to the maid's side, and asked via voice: "Have you just rested again?"
"yes!"
The maid replied: "It's like this every night. Your Highness doesn't rest, and the adults don't rest either. You must accompany Your Highness to finish handling the day's political affairs before going to bed!"
“They say, this is called finishing today’s work today!”
"From a book written by His Highness!"
Lily frowned, looking at Xia Tian who was sleeping lightly, feeling a little distressed, and continued to say: "His Highness only sleeps for an hour every day. If this continues, even a strong man will not be able to endure it!"
"yes!"
The pretty face of the maid in the East Palace was also full of worry, and she replied: "Nowadays, there are too many officials in the imperial court, and the adults are also busy and dizzy every day. If this continues, not only His Highness will be unable to hold on, but also all the adults may not be able to hold on. !”
"Sister Baihe, Your Highness said that you will take out that thing and make soup in a few days to replenish it for all the adults!"
"good!"
Looking at the important ministers of Great Xia sleeping in various sleeping positions, Lily moved her lips slightly: "They are doing their best to cooperate with His Highness in running the government. They really deserve a sip of Jiaolong soup!"
At this time.
Outside the hall.
The maids of the East Palace came with wooden trays in their hands, with steaming breakfast on them. The wind carried the aroma of the food directly into the palace!
"oh......"
I saw Xia Tian sniffing lightly, closing his eyes, stretching before opening his eyes: "It smells so good!"
"What do you want to eat this morning?"
"Back to Your Highness, steamed buns, steamed buns, pickles and porridge!"
"good!"
Wait for the adults to wash up, and then wait for them to have breakfast!
"yes!"
At this time.
The sleepy and hungry court officials also woke up after smelling the fragrance, and were ready to heal their hungry stomachs!
To be honest, when I work in the East Palace, what I look forward to the most is the food. Every meal is never repeated, and there are different kinds of food. It makes people want to eat and can't bear to leave!
It was rumored that after the emperor heard about this, he also wanted to come to the East Palace to have dinner!
However, they were really tired during this time!
Not long after.
The ministers in the hall finished washing and ate meat buns and drank gruel on their desks!
Sima Jian thought for a while and said: "Your Highness, there are currently a large number of vacancies in the imperial court. Although many people have been temporarily recruited, there are also many people sent out on missions, so the manpower is still not enough!"
"If this continues, you adults may not be able to hold on any longer!"
"yes!"
The red-robed imperial censor also fell into thinking: "But... what if we bring those people who don't understand government affairs and don't know their roots into the East Palace to do things, and something goes wrong?"
"It would be troublesome if the enemy country sneaks into it!"
"yes!"
All ministers agreed: "It is indeed difficult to handle!"
At this time.
I saw an evil smile rising from the corner of Xia Tian's mouth, which was thought-provoking: "My lords, I would like to invite the students from the Royal Academy to help... What do you think?"
"OK!"
Sima Jian's eyes brightened: "Now, those children in the Royal Academy who rebelled against the family have gone, and the remaining students are all important ministers, nobles, and descendants of the royal family. They have simple backgrounds, but also have talent and passion. They can just help!"
"At least it's okay for them to help out with the errands!"
"I agree!"
The ministers stuffed food into their mouths and muttered: "Your Highness is still wise!"
"good!"
Xia Tian put down his chopsticks: "President Xuande Peacock brought the students from the Royal Academy to the East Palace to help!"
"yes!"
Someone go and notify!
Not long after.
The students from Daxia Royal Academy came to register. They were all very excited and hard-working!
However, there are still not enough people!
Three days later.
All the ministers woke up to the smell of breakfast again!
Xia Tian looked at the tired peacock and asked: "Dean Kong, there are still not enough manpower now. What do you think?"
"Find someone!"
"Who are you looking for?"
"A disciple of the Imperial Taoist School!"
Peacock looked serious: "Although Taoist scholarship is weaker than my Confucian scholarship, it still has some merits. The disciples of its school are all strong and can be put to use!"
"good!"
The evil look on the corner of Xia Tian's mouth became more intense: "Li Si, the head of the Xuan Tao School, asked the disciples of the Tao School to come and help!"
"yes!"
Three days later again.
In the early morning, the smell of fried dough sticks woke up the tired people in the hall again!
Xia Tian directly suggested: "We still don't have enough manpower, so I suggest that people from the Xuanfa School come to help!"
"I have no objection, sir!"
If in the past, schools of thought looked down on each other, Confucianism and Taoism would definitely have differences!
But now, everyone is too tired to have any objections. Instead, they hope that people from the Legalist school will come to help quickly and make everyone feel more relaxed!
Nowadays, the shortage of court officials is too serious. After disciples from various schools enter here, they are arranged to go to Daxia Jiuzhou to implement the court's decisions.
Therefore, manpower is becoming increasingly scarce!
Three days later.
The military strategists entered the East Palace to listen!
People from the Mo family entered the East Palace to listen!
Immediately afterwards.
People from the novel school entered the East Palace to listen!
Among the hundreds of schools of thought, the top ten schools have entered the East Palace one after another to contribute to the imperial court. They are extremely busy!
As time passed, after Confucianism and various schools of thought slowly got along with each other in the East Palace, they gradually saw the strengths of each school of thought. Confucian disciples were no longer so arrogant, and they no longer made things difficult for disciples of each school of thought!
At the same time, disciples of various schools have also seen the strengths of Confucian disciples and are no longer so hostile!
For a while.
The disciples of various schools got along well with each other in the East Palace and did not even start fighting!
This matter was reported to the palace!
In the royal study.
Emperor Xia stood at the door of the royal study, looking at the heavy snow outside, puzzled: "Old man, you said that the prince has brought all these schools to the East Palace to help... What exactly does he want to do?"
Eunuch Wei shook his head: "I don't dare to guess!"
"But... I think His Highness the Crown Prince has a deep intention, so Your Majesty can wait and see what happens!"
"Um!"
Emperor Xia nodded, looked at the smoke outside the city and said, "Where is the border battle report?"
"How did this battle end?"
"Your Majesty, please read it!"
Eunuch Wei took out a secret letter: "This is the true war situation on each border!"
Emperor Xia took it and opened it. His brows twisted into the character "Chuan" and his face was full of shock: "Is this really so?"
