Chapter 112 The Young Prince Handles Government Affairs
The ministers who were trying to read the memorial carefully suddenly realized that something was wrong. They couldn't help but wonder: "Huh? Why are we the only ones working?"
Originally, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had said that he would review these memorials with them, but now he was nowhere to be seen. Everyone looked up and finally found the problem.
The young prince had already ordered someone to bring his own recliner and placed it aside. At first, he had carefully read a few memorials, but then he changed his position and lay directly on the recliner.
Everyone stared at the sleeping little prince Xuanyuan Ruize in amazement, and despair surged in their hearts. They secretly wondered how long the Xuanyuan Kingdom could last with the prince as regent. Deep in their hearts, they shouted in unison: "Your Majesty! I hope you get better soon! We can hardly control the wild power in our bodies!"
It must be said that there is strength in numbers. In the end, this group of people worked together to complete the review of all memorials before dark. If Emperor Xuanyuan had handled it himself, he would probably have to wait until dawn to complete it. However, the little prince was an exception. He would not work hard foolishly. Since you can easily be a hands-off boss, why bother to do it yourself?
After finishing their work, the ministers tiptoed to the little prince and tried to wake him up. However, the little prince was sleeping soundly and showed no sign of waking up.
A minister whispered, "Why don't we just leave and let the prince have a good rest." The others nodded in agreement.
So they quietly left the palace, leaving the little prince sleeping soundly on the recliner alone.
The next morning, the sun shone through the window into the palace, shining on the young prince's tender face. He stretched, slowly opened his eyes, yawned, then sat up from the recliner and rubbed his eyes, seeming to feel a little strange about the surroundings. After a while, he remembered what happened yesterday, and the corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a sly smile.
At this moment, a palace maid came in and saw that the little prince had woken up, so she hurried forward to greet him. The little prince waved his hand, indicating that there was no need to be polite, and then asked her to prepare some toiletries and breakfast. The palace maid responded and turned to leave.
After a while, the maid came in with a plate of exquisite pastries and a cup of hot tea and placed them on the table. The little prince looked at the delicious food in front of him and couldn't help drooling, but he still resisted, washed his face and brushed his teeth, then returned to his seat and began to enjoy breakfast.
After breakfast, the little prince stood up, straightened his clothes, and walked out of the palace to the court. Along the way, he met many palace maids and eunuchs, who saluted him one after another. The little prince responded with a smile, appearing very cordial.
When the young prince arrived at the court, the ministers had been waiting for him for a long time. They were surprised to see him coming in full of energy. The young prince sat on the dragon chair, looked around, and then said, "My dear ministers, what do you want to say today?"
The ministers looked at each other, and sighed in their hearts: This prince is really unpredictable! They handed over the memorials in their hands, and the little prince took them and read them one by one. He read them very seriously, nodding his head from time to time to show his approval, or asking some questions. The ministers waited nervously for the little prince's instructions, secretly praying that there would be no mistakes.
Finally, the young prince finished reading all the memorials. He put down the memorial in his hand, smiled with satisfaction, and said, "My dear ministers, your memorials are well written, clear and logical, and your views are clear. I admire your work attitude and hope you will continue to maintain it."
Hearing the young prince's praise, the ministers breathed a sigh of relief and knelt down to thank him. The young prince waved his hand, motioning them to stand up, and then continued: "Since you ministers are capable, I cannot bury them. Let's do this! This is how I review the memorials from now on! Dismiss" After saying this, the young prince stood up and strode out of the court.
The ministers looked at each other, feeling helpless, but they could only accept this reality. They sighed silently and then dispersed. When they returned home, they immediately began to deal with government affairs and strive to complete the task as soon as possible. After all, the little prince's requirements were not low, and if they could not complete the task on time, they would probably be punished.
As time went by, the ministers gradually adapted to this new way of working. They found that although this method was a bit hard, it allowed them to better understand the state of the country and improve their ability to govern. Moreover, since they no longer had to spend a lot of time writing lengthy memorials, they could devote more energy to actual work and achieved a lot of results.
In fact, the little prince was not stupid. He had a photographic memory and he must have read all the memorials himself. It was just that these ministers didn't know about it.
"Why didn't I think of such a good idea before?" When Emperor Xuanyuan first learned about the little prince's actions, he was a little pessimistic about him. But after two days of observation, he found that it was really feasible. Those ministers were not stupid!
Then why did he use his brain and work overtime by himself before? Thinking of this, Emperor Xuanyuan was a little depressed.
"Your Majesty, the Crown Prince is young and there has never been a precedent before. Your Majesty, it is safest to follow the methods of our ancestors." Xiao Yuanzi comforted Emperor Xuanyuan
"My old friend, you are still good at talking and making me happy," Emperor Xuanyuan smiled and patted Xiao Yuanzi's shoulder, with a happy smile on his face.
Xiao Yuanzi also quickly agreed, "Your Majesty is right. The Crown Prince is indeed smart and diligent. He will definitely become a wise ruler in the future."
Hearing what Xiao Yuanzi said, Emperor Xuanyuan nodded with satisfaction and said, "However, this prince is really a little smart. It seems that I will have to let him handle affairs on his own in the future."
Xiao Yuanzi nodded in agreement, secretly delighted. He knew that the more attention Emperor Xuanyuan paid to the little prince, the more important the prince was in Emperor Xuanyuan's heart, which meant that he would have to pay more attention to the prince's affairs in the future.
At this time, the little prince did not know that his behavior had attracted the attention of Emperor Xuanyuan. He just felt that he was studying and working hard every day, but he did not get the recognition and rewards he deserved. So he began to become a little lazy and dissatisfied.
"What's going on? I have several older brothers, and my father is in his prime. Why do they all want a child like me to do the work?" The little prince complained in his heart.
"Can't they share more of the burden? I'm just a child!"
However, the little prince did not know that the reason why Emperor Xuanyuan allowed him to participate in state affairs was not because he needed a child to help handle government affairs, but because he hoped to cultivate his abilities and sense of responsibility in this way.
At the same time, the little prince still watched the ministers review memorials carefully every day and then went to sleep.
He didn't know that Emperor Xuanyuan had a new opinion of him, and thought that his behavior had not attracted anyone's attention. He still hoped that Emperor Xuanyuan would take over these tedious government affairs again so that he could regain his ease and freedom.
