Chapter 318: No Distinction Between High and Low Jobs

Gu Xi said:

"It's fine for you to be crowned king, but are you really not considering joining the cabinet?"

Why does it seem like being an emperor is not fun at all? Look at this guy, he doesn't even want the power he has.

Lin Xiaoxuan said:

"I really don't have time. I have a lot of things to do in modern times. I haven't even caught up with Yuxue yet. You can't bear to see me being single, right?"

Gu Xi said helplessly: "Okay."

Lin Xiaoxuan said happily:

"Your Majesty, I will be the idle prince. That's great. I can give Yuxue the position of Princess."

To be honest, he was an unemployed vagrant before and didn't have the confidence to pursue Yuxue, but now he is a person of status.

Chu Zhao curled his lips and added:

"You talk as if Miss Lin is willing to marry you. How old are you? How could you have the heart to do that?"

Lin Xiaoxuan: "I don't like to hear that. Don't you know that young girls like older men?"

Then he turned to Gu Xi and said:

"Your Majesty, Yuxue is a little depressed. I want to take her to a new environment to live. Maybe that will help her untie her knot. Can you help me take her to the modern world?"

Gu Xi was speechless. This name...

"That requires her to be willing to go with you. She is a lady from a wealthy family, how could she just go with a man?" Gu Xi said.

Lin Xiaoxuan sighed and said:

"I will convince her. She is here, and seeing things reminds her of the past. I am afraid she will be upset. Going to modern times to relax may help her feel better."

Gu Xi knew Lin Yuxue's situation and was indeed upset, so he nodded and said:

"Okay, as long as she's willing, I'll just do it for her."

Lin Xiaoxuan was worried about Lin Yuxue. Seeing that the situation here was stable, he said:

"I can't help you with the affairs of the court. You can ask your father and your future father-in-law to come forward. It is best for the natives to govern the natives. I want to go back to Huizhou to accompany Yuxue."

Gu Xi thought about it and realized that both the Chu family and the Gu family were military families. They were good at maintaining order, but they still needed experience in domestic affairs.

She usually didn't pay attention to the court officials, and couldn't find the right person for a while.

By the way, isn’t Mr. Zhou Qing in Minzhou?

Gu Xi's eyes lit up and he said to Lin Xiaoxuan:

"Come on, I'll fly you to Huizhou, and I'll go to Minzhou to ask Mr. Zhou to come out of retirement."

After all, Lin Xiaoxuan's eyes are bloodshot now, and it is unsafe to drive while tired.

Chu Zhao looked at Gu Xi eagerly:

"I want to go too."

Gu Xi stretched out his arm and touched Chu Zhao's head:

"Be good, clean up this mess in the palace first, I'll be back in the afternoon."

Chu Zhao hummed:

"It is said that the harem is not allowed to interfere in government affairs. Why is it that you are the emperor and I am the one who is tired? No, I want a reward."

Gu Xi glanced at Lin Xiaoxuan and saw that his bloodshot eyes were full of gossip.

He reached out and grabbed him, then threw him into space.

Then he said to Chu Zhao:

"My harem must be involved in government affairs. The better they do, the greater the reward. Come, give me a scent."

As she said this, she stood on tiptoe and kissed Chu Zhao on the face.

Chu Zhao immediately hugged Gu Xi, holding the back of her head with one hand, and his deep baritone voice was full of dissatisfaction.

"not enough."

Then he lowered his head and kissed her cherry lips.

After counting the remaining people in the palace, Wu Dajiang was running over to report to Chu Zhao. As soon as he entered the door, he saw his young general being favored by His Majesty. He immediately turned around and stood at the door as if nothing had happened, blocking Liu Erdan who was running towards him from behind.

"Erdan, why are you here so early in the morning?"

Liu Erdan wiped his sweat and said:

"Brother Wu, is His Majesty in there?"

Wu Dajiang looked strange.

"Ah, yes, yes, but it's not convenient to see you now. Is there anything urgent you want to talk about?"

Liu Erdan said anxiously:

"General Gu just came to the Imperial Master's Mansion and said that Madam Gu and the two young masters are still unconscious, and he wanted to ask His Majesty for the antidote."

Yesterday, Gu Yunqing was in a hurry to save people and scattered the entire packet of sleeping pills. The amount was enough to knock out ten cows.

He brought his wife and children back to his house. After sleeping all night, he still didn't wake up. He became anxious and ran to the Imperial Master's Mansion to find Gu Xi, but it turned out that Gu Xi had entered the palace.

But the palace was in a mess, and no one knew which palace she was in, so Gu Yunqing and Liu Erdan went to look for her separately.

The two people in the hall were both highly skilled in martial arts and had sharp hearing, so they could naturally hear everything that was said at the door.

Gu Xi pushed Chu Zhao away and said angrily:

"Why are you so impatient? Just work hard. I have it in mind. We will get married on the day you ascend the throne."

The mourning period for his grandfather has passed, and his father is still alive, so Gu Xi can get married now.

Anyway, whether they get married or not, Chu Zhao will stick to her, so it is better to give him a name and make it more legitimate.

After saying that, she hurried out.

As it concerns her mother and siblings, she had to go and see them in person to feel at ease.

Gu Xi followed Liu Erdan and left. Wu Dajiang walked into the hall and was speechless when he saw the young general who was so happy that he became an idiot.

Alas, he was short-sighted before and failed to realize that the Imperial Master and Miss Gu were the same person, and he always suspected that the Young General was gay.

Now, his young general is going to become the most honorable man in the world, so shouldn’t his personal soldier also rise in status as well?

When he was seeing those ministers off from the palace last night, some of them asked him whether he was married or not. Maybe a matchmaker would come to his house soon, and he felt happy just thinking about it.

Gu Xi hurried back to the Gu Mansion. When Gu Yunqing saw Gu Xi, he wanted to kneel down. Gu Xi was so scared that he quickly helped him up and said:

"Dad, please don't torture me."

Gu Yunqing said:

"Now there is a difference between the ruler and his subjects—"

Gu Xi interrupted:

"Our primary relationship is that of father and daughter. If anyone is to kneel, it should be me who kneels to you."

Gu Yunqing had no choice but to give up.

Gu Xi took the pulse of his mother and younger brothers and sisters.

It turned out that the mothers and their children were weak women, and they inhaled a large amount of medicine, so they slept longer.

Gu Xi took out a small porcelain bottle and shook it under the noses of the three people. Soon, the three of them woke up.

Gu Xi was thinking about going to Minzhou, so he said to Gu Yunqing:

"Dad, please explain what happened last night to Mom. I'm going to ask Mr. Zhou Qing to come now. Important positions in the court still need to be filled by trustworthy people."

Gu Yunqing looked at Gu Xi with a complicated expression and said:

"Go, Xier. It is a great blessing for the country to have Mr. Zhou come out of retirement."

For some reason, he was sick for half a year, and the Xier he saw after waking up was very different from the Xier before.

But she was indeed his Xier.

Gu Xi flew to Huizhou first, dropped Lin Xiaoxuan off outside the city, let him drive into the city by himself, and then hurriedly flew to Minzhou.

On the way, she was thinking about how Gu Yunqing almost knelt down just now.

She ascended the throne as empress. According to ancient rules, shouldn't all her relatives and elders kneel down to her?

How could this make her feel so embarrassed?

Being an emperor is just a job, there is no distinction between high and low jobs.

She should have burned the sixth fire last night to avoid the kneeling ceremony.

She also visited the new palace. There was a great hall as well as smaller meeting rooms. They could discuss state affairs in the meeting rooms. There was no need for the ministers to kneel, and it would be tiring for the ministers to stand while discussing matters.

I'll add this when I get back.
