Chapter 689: Official Position Remains the Same
Faced with the people's high enthusiasm, Shang Jiao and Shang Rou were so happy that they kept waving their hands at everyone.
But later on, I couldn't bear it anymore. It was almost New Year's Day and the weather was at its coldest.
After standing outside for a while, the little feet lost feeling, and even the little hands felt a little weak.
The smile on his face was so stiff that he felt like he was about to freeze into a popsicle.
"Father, when can we go home?" Shang Jiao looked at his father.
If he didn't move, he would freeze to death. Shang Rou looked at her father aggrievedly, and her little face was not as happy as before.
"It's coming soon!" Shang Zhanchen looked at Shen Ze and others in the crowd with amusement.
I was about to come over several times, but was pushed back by the crowd. It seems I need to exercise more often.
Following their father's gaze, the two little ones also looked to the back of the crowd and saw their grandfather and others struggling to squeeze in.
"Make way! Everyone, make way first!" Shen Ze covered his head with his hat and led the way.
A group of ministers followed behind, struggling to squeeze in.
"Grandpa! We are here!" Shang Rou waved happily at her grandfather.
"Hey! Here I come!" Hearing the call of my granddaughter.
Shen Ze worked even harder, putting in all his strength and pushing forward, and finally he arrived.
"Grandfather, why did you come just now?" Shang Jiao looked at his grandfather aggrievedly.
It’s been such a long time since the common people came, but my grandfather and his friends have just come. This shows that he doesn’t miss them.
"Oh! Your Highness, I was the first one to arrive, but I couldn't run as fast as them."
Originally, he and his colleagues were the first to arrive, and they thought they could just stand at the gate and wait.
As a result, as soon as the prince and his companions returned, the people surrounded them excitedly, and they were trying their best to squeeze in.
"Father-in-law, Prime Minister Wen and others are at the back." Shang Zhanchen got off the carriage.
He took Shen Ze to the carriage behind. When they saw the prince coming, Prime Minister Wen also got off the carriage with everyone.
"Prime Minister Wen, this is the Left Prime Minister Shen Ze." Shang Zhanchen introduced him.
"Prime Minister Shen! We will serve in the same court in the future, so please take care of me."
"Of course, of course, welcome, welcome!" Prime Minister Shen shook Prime Minister Wen's hand enthusiastically.
Since we are officials in the same dynasty, we should treat each other with courtesy.
"Prime Minister Wen, this is our Minister of Revenue, Lord Zhang." Shen Ze pointed at Lord Zhang next to him.
"Nice to meet you, this is also our Minister of Revenue, Lord Sun." Prime Minister Wen hurriedly called the Minister of Revenue to his side.
"Nice to meet you!" Lord Zhang and Lord Sun also shook hands enthusiastically.
"This is our Minister of Rites, Lord Song..." Shen Ze began to introduce again.
Every time he introduced someone, Prime Minister Wen called over an official of the same rank to introduce himself to them, even though the weather was unusually cold.
But it did not affect everyone's enthusiastic conversation. After introducing all the other party's officials, everyone got on the carriage.
Under Shang Zhanchen's persuasion, the people finally made way for a path and surrounded the long convoy as they entered the capital.
Looking at the people on both sides of the street, Prime Minister Wen and his men felt deeply moved.
When they came here, they were prepared to endure unfair treatment. After all, they were subjects of a fallen country.
They never expected to receive such courtesy, and the people did not throw rotten eggs at them.
He was also welcomed by all the ministers in the court, and they were so warm and enthusiastic. He did not feel discriminated against at all.
Instead, I felt warm, as if I was home. The convoy stopped at the gate of the palace.
As soon as Shang Jiao and Shang Rou jumped off the carriage, they saw their royal grandfather standing at the door of the hall and rushed over excitedly.
"Grandfather! We are back! Hehehe..." The two little guys ran over.
When the emperor saw his beloved grandson and granddaughter whom he had been thinking about day and night, his face suddenly became as bright as terraces.
He walked down the stairs directly, opened his arms, and held his sweetheart in his arms.
Just when he was about to enjoy them for a while, he remembered that he wanted to teach them a lesson. The smile on his face instantly disappeared and he immediately let go of them.
"Who told you to run so far!" The old face was extremely gloomy and he glared at the two little guys with dissatisfaction.
We can't be nice to them. We have to let them learn their lesson, otherwise they will sneak out again next time.
“…”Shang Jiao.
“…”Shang Rou.
The two little guys were stunned, then looked at each other, and both hugged the emperor's thighs with their little mouths grinning.
"Grandfather, stop pretending!"
"Yeah, you don't act like one at all, hehehe..."
When I saw them before, I was so happy that I couldn't close my mouth, but now I have a gloomy face, which is so fake.
The emperor was trying to hold it back in the first place, but after hearing what his grandson and granddaughter said, he could no longer pretend.
"When you go back, I will settle the score with you!" He poked their foreheads curiously, then looked up at the people who came over.
"Your Majesty, we greet you!" Prime Minister Wen and the others knelt down in greeting.
They didn't expect that the Emperor of Shang would personally stand at the door to greet them. They were really flattered.
In fact, they were overthinking it. What the emperor was looking forward to at this moment was not them, but his beloved grandson and granddaughter whom he missed day and night.
"My dear ministers, please stand up!" The emperor raised his hand towards them.
He glanced at his son again, and saw that he was obviously much thinner than before. Noticing his son's gaze looking at him, he immediately glared at him.
As long as he is the emperor, he dares to act on his own. However, there are so many people here, so let's not say anything for now.
The female family members were brought to the main hall, where they were entertained by the Queen and Shen Yiyi.
A group of ministers followed the emperor back to the court and introduced themselves to each other in order to leave a good impression on the emperor.
Prime Minister Wen reported all the matters under their jurisdiction in Tiansheng County, and the emperor was very satisfied.
The policy of "Hong Kong people administering Hong Kong" was adopted, and assignments were made to them, with Prime Minister Wen serving as the Right Prime Minister.
The affairs in charge of Tiansheng County are the same as before, and the official positions of other ministers remain unchanged.
The Shangshu is still the Shangshu, the Shilang is still the Shilang, and the things they are doing are the same as before, and they are all in charge of Tiansheng County.
This shocked Prime Minister Wen and his men. They thought that as ministers of a fallen country, they would definitely be demoted when they came here.
They never expected that not only was his official position not demoted, but his power was not reduced at all, which touched them deeply.
Once again they knelt down and expressed their loyalty to the emperor. The emperor was very satisfied with their attitude and they chatted with each other for a long time.
Only then did he take all the ministers to the main hall, which was extremely lively at this moment.
The Queen and Shen Yiyi were chatting with the families of the ministers, but they were a little absent-minded.
Especially Shen Yiyi, who kept looking towards the door from time to time.
"..."
Brother Chen, haven’t they finished discussing their matter yet?
I haven't seen them for almost a year. I don't know if he misses me, and I don't know whether my son and daughter have gained weight or lost weight.
Just as I was thinking about it, I heard the voice of Eunuch An.
"The Emperor has arrived~~~~"
