Departure

When Liu Chunming heard that all his colleagues were dead, he was so frightened that he turned pale and could not speak.

"Find a safe place and place him properly." Ye Qinghuai looked at Liu Chunming and said to Li Baoquan, "Find someone to guard him. He must not die again."

Li Baoquan nodded in agreement, and then called two people to help Liu Chunming, who was surviving the disaster, out.

He was about to follow him out when he heard Ye Qinghuai call him and said in a deep voice: "Li Baoquan, go to the Youya Mansion Department and declare my decree to suspend Chu Dingguo and find a place to put him there."

Grounded, use your people to watch."

"Yes." Li Baoquan didn't say much and went to do it immediately.

The people in the courtyard dispersed again, and Ye Qinghuai turned around and looked into the hall.

A dark coffin stood between two white mourning flags.

Ye Qinghuai narrowed his eyes slightly and clenched his hands tightly under his sleeves.

——

Qin Baozhu's funeral ceremony was very grand, and almost everyone in the palace was dispatched. Even the concubines and princesses who had not left the harem for many years made a rare appearance. In the entire square in front of the Hall of Supreme Harmony, people were arranged according to their position and rank.

There were people lined up neatly.

Under Ye Qinghuai's pardon, Qin Baozhu's coffin was left from the Chengtian Gate, the main entrance of the palace.

Logically, this is a treatment that only the emperor and empress can enjoy.

Ye Qinghuai's move was strongly opposed by the Ministry of Rites and Yanguan, but Ye Qinghuai insisted on suppressing it.

Not only did she have to go beyond the rules and hold Qin Baozhu's funeral ceremony, but all the civil and military officials in the court and the people of the world were watching her go beyond the rules.

She just wanted Qin Baozhu to be buried in glory.

Not only because Qin Baozhu is worthy, but also because she needs to make everything that is coming justifiable.

Ye Qinghuai walked all the way to the outside of Chengtian Gate before stopping.

There is still more than a hundred miles to go to the imperial mausoleum, so she can no longer send him off.

Ye Qinghuai watched the long procession meandering away, and vaguely remembered the day Qin Baozhu entered the palace.

She came to this deep palace with her trust and expectations for the emperor, but she left in such a hurry that she didn't even have time to see the students she had longed for retreat, let alone the prosperous and peaceful life that Ye Qing had promised her.

——

In the morning of the next day, Ye Qinghuai took the initiative to bring up the matter of the Criminal Punishment Department.

"Six officials of the Shenxing Department died last night, which is shocking. Chu Dingguo was not strict in his control and made oversights. I have learned from the painful experience and decided to suspend him from duty for a while." Ye Qinghuai sighed and said.

, "Now the Forbidden Army has no leader. Sirs, is there anyone you can recommend?"

There were whispers in the court hall for a while. Ye Qinghuai felt that the two elders standing at the head of the group of ministers cast slightly surprised looks at her.

This Chu Dingguo was the one she insisted on pushing forward, but in just a few days, she slapped herself in the face, which was really unbelievable.

Ye Qinghuai held her forehead and closed her eyes, showing a somewhat helpless decline.

A look of pride appeared on the corner of Gu Shihai's mouth unconsciously.

"If you have any candidates, please tell me so that I can share your worries." Ye Qinghuai said.

Soon, the ministers listed several different candidates, and a debate broke out in the court.

Ye Qinghuai sat on the throne, leaning her head and listening to their discussion. Occasionally she would add a few words and raise questions.

After everyone had been discussing for a quarter of an hour, the Minister of War, He Qingchang, who had been silent, suddenly came out and said: "I think that General Zhao Yinshi, the general of the Gyeonggi Guard Shenwei Guards, can take over."

His voice was not loud and his expression was calm, but the hall suddenly became quiet.

After all, he is the Minister of War who is in charge of armaments and military attachés. When it comes to personnel appointments for the Forbidden Army, he is the most qualified to speak. As soon as he said this, the candidate was basically finalized.

After a moment of silence, Gu Shihai asked: "General Zhao is indeed worthy of his use, but in this case, who will be in charge of the Shenwei Guards?"

He Qingchang still lowered his eyes and said without any wavering in his tone: "Xu Wangxiao, the deputy general of the Jingji Guards' Cavalry Guards, is brave and good at fighting. He has made many achievements in recent years, so I thought he could be dispatched."

The two men blurted out questions and answers without thinking. It was obvious that they had made arrangements in advance and were not decisions made by the court. Ye Qinghuai could see it, and so could the courtiers.

Xu Wang is Xu Liang's nephew and is very close to Gu Haiwang. He Qingchang asked Gu Shihai for permission in private yesterday, including the transfer of Zhao Yinshi, and Gu Shihai approved it yesterday.

He Qing has been an official for many years and is well versed in the rules of the early court. That is, most court meetings are just a formality. Therefore, he never takes the initiative to bring up decisions that have not been agreed upon in court.

As for this resolution, not only did Gu Shihai overdo it, but the emperor also overdid it.

As a result, these two transfer orders were settled in a tacit and tacit understanding.

No one objected.

Only Chen Yuansi looked at Gu Shihai thoughtfully but said nothing.

——

After leaving the court, Ye Qinghuai went straight back to Jingshou Palace.

Today is the day Lu Yanchen leaves the palace, and it is also the day she makes an appointment with him to leave the palace together to meet the Eagle Guard.

She needs Eagle Guard so much now. It can be said that she can't wait a moment longer.

Lu Yanchen's wounds have mostly healed. According to Zhou Shouyi, he can't wield swords or guns yet, but his daily activities are no longer affected.

"To be honest, if it weren't for His Majesty's decision to use him, I would have really wanted to keep him here to study and test the medicine for me. He is born with such a physique and is a good candidate for testing the medicine." Zhou Shouyi felt very regretful.

, but only received a warning-like eye-dagger from Ye Qinghuai.

When Ye Qinghuai returned to the palace, Lu Yanchen was already dressed and ready to leave the palace. He was wearing a dark robe and standing in front of the case, holding an ink-stained wolf-hair Changfeng pen and looking at it.

The paper manuscript placed on the desk was in good health, and there was not even the slightest sign of injury.

Thinking of his hanging left arm, Ye Qinghuai sighed deeply: Comparing people to each other is so frustrating.

Seeing Ye Qinghuai coming back from the court, Lu Yanchen put the pen in his hand beside the inkstone and saluted her.

Ye Qinghuai strode into the main hall, smiling and greeting as he walked: "Sir, did you come to Wenmoyaxing as soon as you got up? Come on, let me see what calligraphy and painting you made."

She walked to the desk, lowered her head and saw that the two-arm-long horizontal manuscript on the desk was inscribed with the four characters "You Yun Jinglong"——

Idealism is not easy.

Ye Qinghuai's smile faltered, and her heart felt as if it had been illuminated by the bright moon or blown by the breeze.

These four characters inscribed by Lu Yanchen are more magnificent and more upright than the four characters "Wen Yi Zhe Tao" inscribed by Emperor Xing Rui of Wenxuan Palace.

It also touched Ye Qinghuai's heart even more.

"I have been blessed by heaven's grace and have served as the emperor's teacher for three years. Now, with your majesty's ability, I have nothing to teach you and can't learn from you. As a rule, I should give your majesty the gift of becoming a teacher." He lowered his head and looked at it.

These words said, "I have nothing to give to Your Majesty, so I will give you these four words. I hope that no matter when the time comes, Your Majesty will never forget your original intention and be clear in your heart."
