Chapter 77 The Emperor Starts Retirement Re-Employment

The news about Hongxing soon spread throughout the streets and alleys.

The reason was simple: the charge that his property was confiscated by the emperor really attracted the attention of the people!

"Is this imperial edict posted true? Does it really say that this official was exiled because he studied the casualties of piglets?"

"Ah? Does it really say that he was confiscated because he was attentive to his concubines and not attentive to the people and piglets?"

Many of the people who gathered at the Hong Mansion to watch the excitement were illiterate, but they were shocked when they heard what the literate people said.

"That's right. The Emperor of Jingguo wrote the imperial edict himself because he recently got the third princess and treated her like a treasure. One day, the third princess cried and the Emperor took her to the street to play. Then he heard that we ordinary people couldn't afford pork."

"The third princess cried non-stop, as if she was sad for us ordinary people. Our Emperor felt the same way and sent Hongxing to the countryside to study why we couldn't afford pork."

"Who knew that when we checked, we found that Hongxing was in a mess."

"The Emperor was heartbroken and felt that the officials should treat the people's families as their own, not to mention the piglets?"

"Once the Emperor was angry, he confiscated the corrupt official's property and used it all to support the improvement of the conditions of the pig pens for the people."

The people discussed with each other in front of the imperial edict.

After a while, everyone was shocked.

"Oh my God! In the eyes of the emperor, can our pigs be as precious as the officials?"

"Did the emperor really say that!"

"Is there such a good thing?"

"Of course!"

"If that's the case, we are willing to share the emperor's pigs!"

The people from the neighboring villages who came to the city to attend the market were excited when they saw the imperial edict.

Some couldn't help but wipe their tears on the spot.

"The emperor also said that he hopes that officials will learn from his three-month-old Third Princess, and cry when they hear about the suffering of the people."

"Oh my God, Third Princess is the reincarnation of a fairy, and our emperor is a great god, right?!"

"Why did our Emperor of Jing suddenly become better!"

How did he become better?

Xiao Yunzhou, who was on a private tour and went out of the palace to listen to the Liu family talk about the progress of the hatching eggs, now happily put his hands behind his back.

He looked down at Chuchu, the precious daughter in Wei Zheng's arms.

How did he, the emperor, become better?

It was all because of his precious daughter that made him, the father, better!

Xiao Yunzhou wanted to cry.

He had been on the throne for many years, and this was the first time he heard the people praise him as an emperor so sincerely.

[Oh, I didn't expect that the emperor's prestige would be improved. ]

Xiao Chuchu was also very happy.

[Eat more meat, the people will be happy and healthy! ]

[Emperor, hurry up and teach the people how to serve pigs, so that our national strength will slowly rise. ]

Xiao Yunzhou nodded again and again.

His daughter is right!

He, the father, must listen!

"Wei Zheng, what do you think of me sending all the ministers who are idle at home to teach the people how to serve sows?"

Wei Zheng was dumbfounded. What the hell?

Xiao Yunzhou thought this was a good idea, "For example, the queen's father, the former cabinet chief Tong Lao, although he is sixty years old, he still climbs mountains and teaches students all day long, and his body is still strong."

"It's a waste to keep him at home."

Wei Zheng didn't dare to say anything.

However, the more Xiao Yunzhou spoke, the more he felt that he had to do it. "A while ago, Old Tong taught two Zhou family grandchildren who were worse than beasts, and I didn't bother with Old Tong."

"Now is the right time. Let him stop teaching for a few months and teach our people first."

"Wei Zheng, what do you think of my idea?"

Wei Zheng opened his mouth.

This...

Old Prime Minister Tong must think it's not good!

Which former Prime Minister would raise pigs?

But Xiao Yunzhou thought about it and decided to do it. He drafted an imperial edict when he returned to the palace and sent it directly to various places, making requirements for all the troublesome old guys who retired and went home earlier but continued to make trouble at home.

-Immediately go to Beijing and receive pig-raising guidance!

[Awesome, my emperor father, even the modern retirement re-employment has come up with it! ]

Xiao Chuchu was stunned.

Xiao Yunzhou was also stunned. What retirement, what re-employment?

Why are there so many things in the fairy world that he has never heard of.

[Ah, this is a good way to do it. Some middle-aged and elderly people who are in good health and more active than young people at the age of 60 are still concerned about their careers. 】

[They feel lonely at home and feel lost because they are not needed by young people. 】

[In this way, let's not waste their expertise and talents, and give them a chance to continue to use their remaining energy! 】

Xiao Chuchu was in Wei Zheng's arms, her big grape eyes sparkling.

Xiao Yunzhou was even more dumbfounded.

Use their remaining energy?

These elderly people are lonely and lost at home?

Hey, isn't this a portrayal of the queen's father? !

——He tried to remotely control the court at home, and his energy was nowhere to be used!

Xiao Yunzhou's eyes flickered.

The fairy world is so smart, it makes these people who are "lost" at home and want to make trouble busy!

Too busy to think about anything else, and it was just right for him to continue working for the emperor.

Xiao Yunzhou nodded repeatedly and looked at Wei Zheng, "Go and post the imperial edict, and call up other officials and scholars in the capital who are idle at home and are willing to come out and participate in the postpartum care of sows."

Wei Zheng: "!"

The emperor is crazy again!

This is to squeeze these scholars dry!

Wei Zheng couldn't imagine that he would have to work until he was seventy or eighty years old!

"Huh?" Xiao Yunzhou raised his eyebrows and looked at Wei Zheng who was standing there in a daze.

Wei Zheng shuddered, "Your Majesty is wise, I will do it right away!"

*

"What?"

In Kunning Palace, the queen's hands were pierced by camellia branches.

"The emperor wants my father to come to the capital to learn how to serve... sows?"

"He also wants him to go to the village to teach people how to serve... sows giving birth..."

The queen was shocked.

Her father is the former prime minister!

In the first year of Xiao Yunzhou's reign, she became the queen, and her father retired and left the capital.

"The emperor really blames my father."

"He wants to use this incident to humiliate my father and ask him why his disciples are all flatterers like Hongxing and Zhou's grandfather and grandson!"

The queen was horrified, but also ashamed.

"If my father goes to serve the pigsty...how can the eldest prince have the face to ascend the throne in the future?"

"This will be written in the history books. The emperor has a grandfather who raises pigs!"

"Absolutely not, Chuntao, go and discuss it with the university scholar."

"This matter must not be agreed to by the emperor in the morning court, and let the emperor do whatever he wants!"

"By the way, go and send a letter, let my father pretend to be sick!"

...

The next day, Xiao Yunzhou went to court and arranged for Wei Zheng to stand behind the curtain holding the little princess.

Xiao Yunzhou moved lightly, not daring to disturb his daughter's sleep. He sat on the throne and looked at the ministers with a red face.

"If you have something to report, please stand up. If you don't, please leave the court!"

As soon as the eunuch reported, an official stood up.

"Your Majesty, I have something to report."

"I beg Your Majesty to take back the name. The old Prime Minister Tong has retired now. The court is not without people. Why does the old Tong still need to run around for the court?"

Xiao Chuchu was awakened by the official's voice and opened her eyes in a daze.

With nothing to do, she spent points to exchange for the real-time image of the Queen's father, the former cabinet minister.

She watched the picture for a while and couldn't help laughing.

[I knock, in the cold winter, the Queen's father is 58 years old, wearing only a single piece of clothing, and doing boxing. ]

Xiao Yunzhou just wavered and felt that Old Tong was indeed a little old.

Just when he was embarrassed, he heard his daughter's words.

Xiao Yunzhou was shocked.

[Oh my God, Old Tong is much stronger than my emperor father who is less than 40 years old! ]

[It's so funny. My emperor father was out of breath after walking a few miles, but Old Tong didn't even breathe or blush. 】

【Good fellow, he fought with his concubine till dawn last night? 】

Xiao Yunzhou: "......!"

Silence.

Xiao Yunzhou was silent.

"Your Majesty, Mr. Tong is old, if anything goes wrong——" the remonstrance official threatened.

Xiao Yunzhou took a deep breath and closed his eyes.

His father!

According to my precious daughter, if he, the emperor, makes a mistake, Mr. Tong, who walks like a dragon and a tiger, will not make a mistake!

This old guy is energetic, ambitious, and in great shape!

"Okay." Xiao Yunzhou smiled and looked at the remonstrance official and nodded.

"I will send the imperial physician to check Mr. Tong's health before letting him go!"

The remonstrance official opened his mouth.
