Chapter 518: Going to the Court to Participate in Government
The emperor was naturally very happy about Shen Ruyi's arrival, and he asked Shen Ruyi about her well-being.
Shen Ruyi and Yiren were also invited to have a meal.
Naturally, they talked a lot, and Shen Ruyi told the official everything that happened and what she saw along the way.
Hearing it through letters and talking to the person in person are two different feelings.
The officials were sometimes filled with righteous indignation and sometimes felt particularly relieved when listening to it.
Naturally, Shen Ruyi also mentioned at the end that she had released the two children in exchange for her condition.
She also talked about how she used the confiscated silver to pay the escort personnel as hard work fees.
The emperor naturally had no objection, as he had known about this through letters a long time ago.
What's more, this information was reported to him by Shen Ruyi.
But he was still very happy that Shen Ruyi was willing to say it again in person.
This shows that his lucky star trusts him as an official very much and is also very dependent on him as an official.
Treat him as your own elder.
Seeing this, the official took the opportunity to tell him about a plan he had been thinking about for a long time.
He planned to arrange a powerful official position for Shen Ruyi and let her participate in government affairs.
It's a pity to leave such an excellent talent outside.
Shen Ruyi was so frightened that she refused on the spot.
"Your Majesty, we have no grudge against each other, how can you say such cruel words?
How could our friendship boat capsize so easily?
Why can't you see me doing well? I'm so young. I'm still a child laborer, a child laborer, okay?
You actually want me to suffer this? I won't do it. Whoever wants to do it can do it.
I can't get up in the morning and I don't want to suffer like that.
I have more money at home than I can spend, so why should I suffer the punishment of going to court?
I am just a salted fish. I just want to live in peace and do nothing until I grow old.
No one should restrict me, and no one should make me work every day. I can’t do it, and I don’t want to.”
If Shen Ruyi likes to work and be in power, it is indeed not a bad thing, but Shen Ruyi is not that kind of person.
Whoever falls in love can go, but she won’t go.
Official: "..."
He really didn't expect Shen Ruyi to refuse so completely.
He was very confused, "Little Black Charcoal, isn't it a good thing to let you go to the court early?
Many people would love to be like this. Why don’t you cherish it?”
"My Majesty, who am I, Shen Ruyi, I am not someone else.
I could live comfortably until I grow old, so why should I suffer that?
What? Will being in power allow me to live longer or something?
A big part of the reason why I took action this time was due to personal grudges.
I fought back because they wanted to kill me, otherwise I wouldn't bother with them."
The official asked in confusion, "Why are you suffering? Isn't this something many people dream of?"
Shen Ruyi saw that the emperor was not angry at all, so he jokingly said:
"I get up earlier than that person and go to bed later than that person. It's just torture.
I can sleep in and wake up as late as I want at home.
You don’t have to go out when it rains, when it’s windy, or when it snows.
I'm sitting around the stove, cooking hot pot and drinking juice. Isn't it nice to eat something delicious and drink something spicy?"
The officials now understood that this person was just being unreasonable and didn't want to move.
"Okay, okay, I know what you mean. If you put it that way, wouldn't it mean that I, an official, would suffer every day?"
"That's about right. Look how hard you work all day long.
I am suitable for farming, growing flowers, and making some money by the way. This is the path I should take.
Besides, you have to work hard on your own, don't drag me into it.
I will produce more good things to honor you, and that will show my gratitude. You can't force me to do that."
"Alright, alright, I'll listen to you. You always have a lot of big principles, and I can't argue with you."
Shen Ruyi: "Besides, I plan to go out for a trip after the New Year."
"Didn't you just come back?"
"Hey, you know what happened along the way, it wasn't fun at all.
I'm so busy competing with people, I'm planning to go for a stroll after the New Year."
When the emperor heard this, his eyes lit up and he immediately came up with an idea: "How about you inspect other places for me?"
How could she not understand what the official meant? "Yes, but you have to wait until I return from my travels. I plan to go out to sea and see what's out there.
See how people on the other side of the sea live? See if there are any treasures there. "
"That's so dangerous, do you really have to go?"
"Yes, we must go there and see if we can open up a new way to make money for our country.
As for dangerous things, I'm not worried. It's not certain who will be unlucky if they meet me.
My family will need your help in taking care of them when the time comes."
The official sighed deeply and agreed. As children grow up, they have more ideas and more correct ideas, so they are difficult to control.
Shen Ruyi treated the official as her elder and spoke to him in a very casual manner.
But Yiren and Eunuch Wei were frightened and broke out in cold sweats.
Fortunately, the result was good and nothing happened.
The emperor seemed to be extremely tolerant and easy-going towards Shen Ruyi from beginning to end.
There was no sign of anger, nor any airs, just like an ordinary parent.
He is also a kind and amiable parent.
Finally, he generously opened his private warehouse and let Shen Ruyi and Yiren pick out what they liked.
This time, Shen Ruyi was not polite. She entered the government's private treasury and looked through everything like a child.
In the end, he took away two whips and two swords, both of which were good things and could be used by his family.
She had thought it all out: the sword would belong to her and Yiren, and the whip would belong to Agate and Xihe.
As for the weapons for the children at home, you can wait and let them look for them.
Besides, they are still young and cannot use many things yet, so there is no need to rush.
Before dark, the official reluctantly let Shen Ruyi go.
He also asked the imperial kitchen to pack a lot of cakes for him to take away.
Because Shen Ruyi seemed to like the pastries from their imperial kitchen very much and ate a lot of them at noon.
He really wanted this little guy to go to court, one person is worth several others.
He is very capable and does his job better than many veteran officials.
Looking at her arrangements during the house search, it was a series of events that led to no chance for others.
What a pity, what a pity.
The logic is rigorous, the thinking is clear, and most importantly, he is very insightful. He loves money but is not greedy.
So much evidence, criminals, and property were delivered to the capital safely.
How many people in the court can do this?
no.
Because of this, the more the official thought about it, the more regretful he felt and the more heartbroken he became.
Unfortunately, the other party is not thinking about this.
Hey!
What a pity, what a pity.
On the way back, Yiren said, "You are so brave. You almost scared me to death."
Shen Ruyi said confidently: "What is there to be afraid of? The government is so kind that they won't punish me. I trust the government."
