Chapter 43 This damn cousin relationship! Yun Shu: “…”If the guy who wrote this memorial stood in front of her now, she guaranteed that she could curse him with her eyes even dirtier than Emperor Xuanwu! How unsaturated is this job? She, a princess, is working hard here, but some important officials in the court can only talk nonsense. Is this reasonable? The psychologically unbalanced Fifth Princess put down the memorial and started to complain: "Father, I feel that this memorial is not written properly." "Ok?" Having freed his hands and eyes, Emperor Xuanwu, who was enjoying the pleasure of making tea while the convoy was resting, raised his eyes: "Why is it unreasonable?" “It’s so inefficient!” Yun Shu said indignantly: "Take the memorial just now for example. It was full of flowery words. The writer took half a day to write it, and the reader also took half a day to read it. A lot of time wasted on both sides. But in fact, it can be completely summarized in these five words: 'Greetings to Your Majesty'. Your Majesty, you have to review so many memorials every day. If you were to review every one of them, how much time would be wasted? If you can remove these unnecessary parts, I'm sure you, Father, will be able to relax a lot!" “It sounds like it makes sense.” Emperor Xuanwu nodded slightly, lowered his eyes and poured himself a cup of tea: "Then just read the omitted part to me directly."
"Row!" Anyway, I can't escape this memorial today, so it's good to protect my throat. Yun Shu agreed straightforwardly, and what he said afterwards was indeed a simplified version with at least 80% of the content deleted - "Father, the governor of Liaodong, Lord Lin, said that it has started snowing in Liaodong, so the price of grain has risen to 18 coins per dou." Emperor Xuanwu took a sip of tea: "Put it in the pile on the left." A dou of rice weighs ten pounds, and eighteen cents is not actually too expensive, but compared to the previous thirteen cents per dou, it has indeed increased a lot. This type of memorial only reports the situation to let the emperor know the conditions in various parts of the people, and it does not involve any urgent matter. Yun Shu put down the memorial according to Emperor Xuanwu's instructions, and quickly picked up another one: "Father, Governor Yuyue..." After all, Yunshu has been doing reading comprehension questions in modern schools for many years, so his ability to summarize is quite good. At the beginning, Emperor Xuanwu did not actually take Yunshu's words that the memorials were too complicated and too inefficient to handle to heart. After all, ever since he first came into contact with memorials in his life, the memorials he had seen had always been like this. Once you get used to it, you won’t think there’s anything wrong with it. But now with Yunshu's concise and concise version for comparison, Emperor Xuanwu suddenly realized that if all the memorials were really like what his daughter had dictated, It seems... it really makes things a lot easier! It turns out that he used to be working diligently every day, but was actually reading a lot of nonsense? Emperor Xuanwu fell into deep thought. Or, after returning from the autumn hunt, he would order his ministers to only write down the key points in their future memorials? "Father." Thanks to Yunshu's efforts, the huge pile of memorials was finally reduced by half. Yun Shu took a deep breath and successfully concluded another article: "The Right Prime Minister said that the Crown Prince has turned eighteen this year and it is time for him to have a Crown Princess." "Princess?" After waiting for a long time, he finally got to the content related to the crown prince. Emperor Xuanwu glanced at Yun Shu calmly and began to think hard about how this topic could be developed:
“Well, it’s time for the prince to get married. I remember the Queen mentioned it many times before, saying that the Right Prime Minister's granddaughter seems to be quite good." Yun Shu: “?” Shouldn't he just tell her which pile to put the letter in? Why did he suddenly start chatting with her? She is not even familiar with her cheap second brother, the prince, so how can she control who her second sister-in-law is? What the hell is the granddaughter of the right prime minister? She doesn't even know whether she is round or flat... Wait, the granddaughter of the Right Prime Minister? ? If she remembered correctly, the prince was the queen's biological son, right? The Queen was born to the Right Prime Minister, right? The Crown Prince and the Right Prime Minister's granddaughter... This damn cousin relationship! Yun Shu closed the memorial with a snap and began to consider and try: "Actually... I seem to have seen a piece of news in a tattered travel journal before." coming! Is this really the clue given by the life choice simulation system? Emperor Xuanwu was a little excited, but his face showed no flaws: "what news?" “It seems that the author of that travel book has been to many places and met many people. This includes many people with disabilities.” Pretending to have a vague memory, he slowed down his speech. Yun Shu secretly observed the expression on Emperor Xuanwu's face and confirmed that he did not look unhappy or angry, then he slowly continued: "He found that the parents of these disabled people were mostly close relatives." "you sure?!" Emperor Xuanwu's expression, which had been tense for a long time, finally showed some subtle changes. The main thing is that he never expected that the real reason for the appearance of the disabled person was because of this! Now that he thought about it carefully, the few examples of disabled people he knew seemed to be just as Yun Shu said, and they were basically the children born after cousins got married. So, one year later, the ministers requested to depose the crown prince on the grounds that it was a warning from heaven. It was because the Crown Prince married the granddaughter of the Right Prime Minister, and ended up giving birth to a disabled child... "I will have someone investigate whether this matter is true. Please go back to Concubine Liu and their carriage first." Emperor Xuanwu was no longer in the mood to listen to Yunshu's summary of other memorials. He stopped the carriage and asked Li Dehai to send Yunshu back to Concubine Liu. Sitting alone in the dragon chariot, I suddenly thought of Concubine De—— Defei and he are also cousins. When Concubine De first entered the palace, she was very favored for a while. She became pregnant with an heir twice, but both pregnancies ended in miscarriage because she could not stabilize the fetus. Perhaps this is also due to inbreeding? Many things are like this. You don’t feel anything when you don’t know the truth, but when you think about it again after knowing the truth, you find that there are clues everywhere.
Emperor Xuanwu let out a long sigh. Speaking of which, Xiaowu is already thirteen years old. He originally thought that the young man named Tang Muzhi from the Tang family looked very good. In two years, when Xiaowu reaches the age of marriage, it would be a good thing if the two children could get married. Now it seems that it is not possible. As for everyone else… He went through all the remaining young men in the capital in his mind one by one. Emperor Xuanwu tutted in disdain. Forget it, they don’t deserve it! The royal princess will never have trouble finding a husband, so she can stay for a few more years. It just so happened that he was reluctant to marry Xiaowu off so early! There is another chapter being edited, it will be a little later~_(:з」∠)_
