Chapter 3201 Attack on Xiaochao Meeting

Zhou Man saw the waiter waiting anxiously, how could he dare to bring some cake to eat?

She snatched the two paper bags filled with snacks from Xi Cai's hand and stuffed them into her sleeves, ran out, took the reins from Daji's hand and mounted her horse.

"Why did Your Majesty suddenly summon me to a small court meeting?"

The chamberlain who came was from Gu Zhong, so he explained in detail: "Your Majesty summoned all your lords for a small court meeting early in the morning. Your lords were on the list at that time, but the notified chamberlain went to the Imperial Hospital but no one was there, and then went to Chongwen Hall.

, there was still no one, so I finally went to the Imperial Medical Office..."

Zhou Man's heart felt cold, so she took a nap...

When riding to the imperial city, she didn't dare to speed up the horse, so she ran to the palace gate at a high speed, threw the reins to Daji as soon as she got off the horse, and ran towards Tai Chi Hall as soon as she entered the palace gate.

Patrolling guards and passing chamberlain:...

If you run in front of them like this, will they catch you or not?

In such a moment of confusion, Zhou Man had already reached the steps of Taiji Highness and started running up. The guards turned a blind eye and pretended not to see him.

Huh, do you think the steps of Tai Chi Hall are easy to run?

When Zhou Man arrived at the Tai Chi Hall, she was out of breath. She took out her handkerchief and wiped her sweat. She leaned against the big pillar and waved to the guard who was looking at her, and pointed to the door of the study.

The guard kindly told her, "It's almost an hour since the morning meeting. Please go in."

Zhou Man shook his head, breathing evenly and swallowing saliva to moisten his throat, "It's better to go in and report."

What if the emperor doesn't want her to attend the court meeting?

When the guard saw that she refused to move, he did not dare to force her, so he turned around and went in to report.

Gu Zhong came out quickly and couldn't help but feel happy when he saw Zhou Man leaning against the big pillar. Then he lowered his voice and said, "My lord, if you go in like this, it's a breach of etiquette in front of the palace. You should go to the side hall to freshen up."

Zhou Man nodded repeatedly, not wanting what he wanted.

Gu Zhong took Zhou Man to the side hall and asked someone to bring a basin of warm water.

Zhou Man poured herself a glass of water and felt better after drinking it. She glanced outside and asked in a low voice: "Master Gu, why did your Majesty suddenly think of summoning me to a small court meeting?"

Gu Zhong smiled and said, "Master Zhou, have you forgotten what you told your Majesty about the Imperial Medical Office yesterday?"

Zhou Man slapped his forehead and said, "I thought I could just talk to Xiao Yuanzheng and Luo Shucheng about these matters. Why do you still want to talk to me?"

After all, her current position in the Imperial Medical Office is just an order from the Qingzhou Medical Office.

Gu Zhong lowered his voice and said: "There are other government affairs, and your Majesty may also want to ask about them."

Zhou Man thought thoughtfully, "It's not a matter for the Imperial Medical Office. If you ask me about politics, won't the ministers of the DPRK object to it?"

Gu Zhong didn't say anything. After the hot water came up, he twisted the towel and gave it to her. Zhou Man immediately came to his senses and quickly took it, "Thank you, Mr. Gu, I can do it myself."

Gu Zhong smiled slightly and took a step back.

Among the hundreds of civil and military officials in the imperial court, there were only a few people who would call him Mr. Gu, and Zhou Man was one of them.

Zhou Man wiped his face, gathered his hair back together, put on his official hat, and poured himself a glass of water to drink. Then he straightened his back and went in with Gu Zhong to meet the emperor.

The emperor raised his eyelids and looked at her, "Mr. Zhou, where have you been this early in the morning? I sent three groups of people to look for you but couldn't find you."

Zhou Man knelt down and admitted his mistake honestly, "Your Majesty, I am guilty of laziness and did not go to the Yamen to order my finger. Please forgive me."

The ministers sitting below did not say anything. Some people knew that Mr. Old Tang and Zhou Man had a good relationship. Especially recently, there were rumors in private. They felt that Mr. Old Tang must have heard some rumors from Zhou Man in order to be stronger when the emperor asked for advice.

One head, thus picking the fruit of Zuoxiang.

At that time, the Wei Mansion expressed condolences, and many people saw the two of them walking away together. Although they only walked for a while on the road, who knows what they said?

Mr. Old Tang sat motionless, but as a former Yushitai doctor, he did not participate in Zhou Man's idle politics.

Yang Heshu, who was sitting next to Liu Shangshu, bowed and smiled and said: "Your Majesty, Lord Zhou has been busy with government affairs since she returned to Beijing. It is rare to have half a day free today. She has always only attended the big court meetings. She didn't know that it was understandable to be summoned by the small court meeting.

It turns out, not to mention, she is still a foreign official."

It is also a rule for foreign ministers to return to Beijing without having to click on their fingers.

Zhou Man knelt down honestly.

The left minister of the Ministry of Punishment said: "I remember that Mr. Zhou was still the editor of Chongwen Guan. This is not a foreign official."

He said: "Master Zhou is usually in Qingzhou. He can't take care of the compilation of Chongwen Hall. After finally returning to the capital, why should he take care of the government affairs of Chongwen Hall?"

Zhou Man said honestly: "Your Majesty, the ministers who compile medical books in Chongwen Hall never dare to slack off. This year's manuscripts have been handed in."

Xiao Yuanzheng immediately said: "Yes, the Chongwen Library has handed over the manuscript to our Imperial Hospital, and it will be reviewed by the Imperial Physicians. If there are no problems, it can be printed. Master Zhou has handed over two volumes this year, and the first volume of medical books has been printed for the students.

Used it.”

The emperor was not very angry to begin with, because he had indeed summoned Zhou Man temporarily, so he raised his hand and said, "Come on, sit down and listen. We will talk about the restructuring of the local medical office later."

The prince suddenly said: "Father, Mr. Zhou is released to the capital and has no restrictions. I don't know where to look for her next time I want to find her at the court meeting. It's too troublesome. Why don't I order her to come to the palace every day to go to the court?"

Meeting politics saves a lot of manpower."

Zhou Man:……

The emperor nodded and thought this was a good idea, so he ordered it on the spot.

Zhou Man could only lower his head in response, then stood up and walked to the seat next to Yang Heshu and sat down cross-legged.

Mr. Old Tang and Liu Shangshu crossed their lips, but they had no objections to this matter.

Li Shangshu glanced at Zhou Man and hesitated to speak. The emperor already said: "Go on, where are you talking about?"

Master Lao Tang said: "The Salt Transportation Department went to the south of the Yangtze River and changed the methods of making salt."

Zhou Man's brows twitched, he lowered his eyes and listened honestly, but what Gu Zhong said just now couldn't help but pop up in his heart.

Ask about politics?

She had been an official for many years, but she basically did not participate in other government affairs during the court meetings. Unless the emperor asked by name, she basically kept silent except for medical matters.

Because she knew that there were many people in the court who had objections to women's participation in politics. The reason why she was able to stand safely at the court meeting was because she basically didn't take the initiative to speak up if it didn't involve medical matters.

Zhou Man habitually listened to their discussions on politics, and she just sat in her seat and listened, while thinking.

She knew what the prince meant, and even though he meant to teach her a lesson, he actually let her join the Xiaochao Club.

Not everyone could enter the emperor's small court meeting. Even Xiao Yuanzheng was not included three or four times out of ten.

Does this allow her to participate in other political affairs?

I don’t know how Bai Shan feels when she finds out. Hehehe, it seems like she is one step ahead of him again.

While she was thinking wildly, Zhou Man heard the emperor talking about the restructuring of the local medical office. She immediately sat upright and raised her head to look at Xiao Yuanzheng and Mr. Luo diagonally opposite.
