Chapter 477 The Imperial Favorite

Xie Jin's expression paused, and his eyes fell on the piles of memorials: "Has the Lord forgotten that I have to prepare homework recently in preparation for the Spring Trial?"

Rong Yu raised his eyes slightly and said calmly, "So?"

Xie Jin couldn't help but want to sigh again.

There are too many unfair things in the world, and what's even more unfair is that when encountering unfair things, you don't dare to argue for yourself, and you can only silently swallow the unfairness.

"I would like to thank you, Your Majesty, for your recognition of your important role." Xie Jin said resignedly, "I will definitely work harder for those who are capable. I will share my worries and solve my problems for you, so that Your Majesty can spend more time with Her Majesty the Queen."

Rong Yu hummed and didn't feel there was anything wrong in pushing matters that should have belonged to the regent to Xie Jin. His tone was so calm that no emotion could be heard: "It's just spring, it shouldn't take up much of your time and energy."

Xie Jin was silent.

Should he thank the Lord for thinking highly of him?

However, it is an honor to be respected by the Lord, and you should accept this trust obediently. After all, although this sentence does not sound profound, if you dare to refute it, try it?

Although it is harder for the capable person to work harder, it is still a hundred times better than the incompetent abandonment.

Xie Jin left with a bunch of memorials in his arms. He couldn't help but wonder that he was already taking care of the king's worries before he even held an official position. When he officially entered the court, would he have to be a horse and a horse to share the government affairs for the king?

After all, his master has to spend time with Her Majesty the Queen and teach the young prince. The time spent on handling government affairs will probably be reduced a lot. Will all government affairs be delegated to him then?

When he thought of his miserable life in the future, Xie Jin suddenly had the idea of ​​​​retreating to the mountains and forests.

Rong Yu had no time to pay attention to his slander at this moment, so he stood up and entered the inner hall.

In his opinion, there is no need to take this matter to heart at all. If he can't even take care of his studies and government affairs well, he is too incompetent. He can be sent to the border to build the city, so why should he be a favorite of the imperial court?

The regent believed that a favorite must be able to climb mountains of swords and descend into seas of fire, investigate cases, and kill people. They must also be loyal and perform their duties without complaining, and they must be willing to do whatever it takes.

He can be indulged in any indulgence as high as the sky and the sea is, but he must also be knowledgeable in both civil and military affairs and be on call at all times.

Xie Jin happens to be the most suitable candidate.

Nan Xi actually didn't sleep much.

Although the mother needs more rest, the baby is taken care of by the wet nurse and the eldest princess, so she does not need to do it herself, so she gets enough sleep at night, and Rong Yu takes care of her closely during the day. There really is nothing for her to worry about, and she can sleep whenever she wants during the day. If you don't want to sleep, just lie down quietly.

In short, she just needs to take good care of herself in peace and contentment.

Rong Yu was also afraid that she would be bored by being alone, so he stayed with her and chatted with her from time to time to pass the boring time.

Seeing Rong Yu come in, she stood up and sat on the bedside. Seeing this, Rong Yu quickly took a pillow and put it behind her to make her lean more comfortably.

"Rong Yu, is it really okay for you to squeeze Xie Jin like this?" Nan Xi said in a helpless tone, "You can't use everything to its best advantage."

Rong Yu poured a glass of warm water for her and said calmly: "A wise master is one who knows people well and assigns them well."

"Xie Jin must be scolding you in his heart."

"He doesn't dare." Rong Yu dragged a stool over and sat down. "It is his duty to share His Majesty's worries."

Nan Xi laughed: "You, the regent, blatantly use your power to oppress others, and you don't allow them to resist."

Rong Yu didn't refute and fed her some water: "Are you hungry?"

Nan Xi said: "Didn't you just eat half an hour ago?"

Rong Yu turned to look at the sky outside the window, "In a few days, we can go out for a walk. The weather is just right now, the spring is warm and the flowers are blooming, so we don't have to worry about catching a cold."

"Rong Yu." Nan Xi said, "When do you plan to return to Dazhou?"

Rong Yu's expression paused.

"The matter in Dazhou must be resolved as soon as possible." Nan Xi said, "King Yun's supervision of the country and governing the country is not a long-term solution. If he does not ascend the throne, those princes will not give up. Such delay is not good for the country. "

Rong Yu was silent for a moment: "March and April are busy with government affairs, and May, June and July are hot and not suitable for traveling. How about we go back in September?"

Nan Xi raised her eyebrows: "You can go back alone. I don't have to go."

Rong Yu pursed her lips and stopped talking for a moment.

"What?" Nan Xi laughed, "You, the wise and powerful regent of the Zhou Dynasty, shouldn't you go back and take care of the mess you left behind?"

Rong Yu thought for a while: "I'll send a direct message to him——"

"Rong Yu." Nan Xi interrupted him, "I ascended the throne in Dongling, and you, the regent of the Great Zhou Dynasty, became the concubine of the queen. The whole world already knows this, and the princes of the Great Zhou Dynasty are no exception. If you If you don't even go back to support King Yun as emperor, the princes of the Zhou Dynasty and the courtiers will think that you will never return to the Great Zhou Dynasty in the future, and their fear of you will be greatly weakened. Although the handwriting can allow King Yun to ascend the throne, it cannot. It is shocking that if the princes are not convinced, they can come up with more than one reason to prevent King Yun from ascending the throne. "

Rong Yu said nothing.

"Even if King Yun successfully ascends the throne and becomes the emperor, without your deterrence, it will be difficult for King Yun to grasp real power in a short time." Nan Xi said, "His foundation is weak. In the past few months, he has been able to supervise the country and govern the country. The ministers' obedience depends on your prestige. If he loses this prestige, his future as an emperor will be very difficult. "

Rong Yu knew that what she said was true.

King Qi and others had competed for the throne with Rong Chuyun back then, and each had their own supportive courtiers and factions. Only King Yun had always stayed out of the matter, alone and without the support of his confidants.

Although Ling Fan and Qi Lin are here, the pure force cannot make it easy for King Yun to take the throne. The power in the court is intertwined. If someone really wants to trip him up, they can do it by just making some moves.

But Rong Yu still doesn't want to go back alone.

Even if he travels day and night, it will take at least a month to go from Dongling to Dazhou and back. He is worried about staying in Dazhou for a few more days.

"We'll discuss this later," he said, "maybe we can think of other solutions."

"What will we discuss later?" Xuanyuan Xi came over with the child in her arms, her tone leisurely, "You two parents don't care about your sons at all? Do you want to pass the throne to Hao'er now, and you two can retire to the mountains and forests together?"

Rong Yu stood up and took her son from her hands, saying calmly, "If my mother-in-law can be the regent princess, I don't miss the power of the regent."

Xuanyuan Xi's mouth twitched, and she looked at him expressionlessly, "I can make the decision now, select a few more outstanding young men from aristocratic families to enter the palace, and act as regents as the emperor's husband."

"I agree." Zhan Ruo came over from the side hall, "Your Highness, put me in the harem. With me here, your majesty can sleep peacefully and enjoy leisure."
