Chapter 377 Prime Minister’s Great Seal, you can protect me and rest assured
Mrs. Qiao looked understanding and nodded: "Xiao Wu, don't worry about what you heard, just pretend you didn't hear it."
It seems that Ji's father's bottom line has been touched this time.
Qiao said meaningfully: "Your father's speeches are sometimes very tearful. Your grandmother may have been moved."
Ji Qingwu was not even a few years old, so he could naturally understand Qiao's meaning. She suppressed a smile and nodded.
Qiao handed the sachet to her nose and asked, "How do you smell this?"
Ji Qingwu took a few sniffs and said: "It's goose buds and honey spleen, a soothing and peaceful smell. My mother's spices are getting better and better."
Mr. Qiao nodded and said: "I have been ill for a long time, but I always have trouble sleeping. Hanging a sachet on the corner of the bed every night will have some effect."
Ji Qingwu knew that Mr. Qiao couldn't sleep well and drank soothing soup before going to bed. This was the root cause of his illness that had been burned for many years. She took the sachet and smelled it carefully.
"Mom, there is a special smell in it, like fruit and medicine. I don't know what it is."
Qiao said: "You have a really smart nose. You also added incense ash given by Master Mingran of Hanshan Temple. This is what brings the strange fragrance."
Was it given by Master Mingran? Ji Qingwu felt that the smell was a bit familiar, but he couldn't tell what it was.
She put the sachet back on the small table and said: "Mom, wrap one for me too."
Qiao said: "What do you want with this thing? You can't sleep well either?"
Before Ji Qingwu said anything, he smiled and rolled his eyes.
Needless to say, I had the best sleep last night in the past month. I had no dreams or worries and slept until dawn.
Mrs. Qiao could see how happy she was, and when she smiled, she smiled too.
"I know your father is thinking about you and protecting you, why are you so happy?"
Ji Qingwu did not deny it and said with a smile: "I thought that if I had insomnia one day, I would put it next to my pillow and smell my mother's scent, and I would sleep soundly."

The atmosphere in Qinzheng Hall was dull.
Ever since Emperor Wu Su received a letter, he stopped talking.
Lu Juan stood in the hall with his eyes downcast. There were so many officials involved in Su Fengyue's case that the seats in the morning court were quite empty.
He bowed forward and said: "Your Majesty, there are very few people available in the court now. Do you want to open more Enke and recruit talents?"
Emperor Wu Su raised his head from the long case and said calmly: "No need, the aristocratic families are at odds, and if the scientific examination is held again, a few more people like Li Chengxun will come out."
Lu Juan swallowed the words back.
The roots of the major aristocratic families are intertwined. Although the Liu family and the Wang family have fallen recently, in a while, other aristocratic families will become famous again.
The emperor was right, Li Chengxun was really a character.
It is difficult for a noble son from a poor family to reach the sky. Li Chengxun understood this clearly and knew how to cling to noble people. He first went to the Qiao family to worship his mentor, and then fell under the skirt of Princess Qingyun. These two people helped him pass the palace examination. Finally selected.
Lu Juan frowned and said, "It's just that vacant positions always need to be filled."
Emperor Wu Su said: "There is no hurry."
Seeing the emperor's expression, Lu Juan seemed to have other plans, so he quietly stepped aside.
It didn't take long for King Yong to return.
"My brother pays homage to the emperor."
After Zhao Minghong stood up, he nodded to Lu Juan.
In recent days, Prince Zhao Minghong finally no longer lives idlely, and will also take the initiative to ask for orders and take on some errands.
Emperor Wu Su asked: "How did things go?"
Zhao Minghong replied: "After Su Fengyue and Yuwen Tianqing paraded through the streets, they beheaded themselves at the Meridian Gate in public display."
"Is there anything unusual?"
Zhao Minghong said: "No one came to rob the court, and no suspicious people appeared. Everything went smoothly."
Emperor Wu Su put his hand on the side of the table and said: "It seems that Yuwen Tiancheng has really abandoned his younger brother who went to the sword mountain and the sea of fire for him."
The traps they set were all in vain, but they were not completely wasted
Zhao Minghong paused and asked: "Brother, will this move anger the soldiers and civilians of Xi Jin? After all, Yuwen Tianqing is the fourth prince of Xi Jin."
"Infuriated? I'm just afraid that Xi Jin loses his temper." Emperor Wu Su threw a letter over. Zhao Minghong was close and caught it first. He looked at the signature on the envelope and let out a sigh.
It was a letter sent by Wei Ting from the northern border.
Zhao Minghong rolled his eyes and handed it to Lu Juan.
"Master Lu, my eyes hurt after one day in prison, so you should read this letter."
It's okay for a prison inmate to have leg pain and buttocks pain, but pain in his eyes is nothing.
Emperor Wu Su was not surprised that King Yong would react like this. He was afraid of difficulties and things. Zhao Minghong had been like this since he was a child.
I forgive him for not daring to read this letter.
Lu Juan looked down and frowned even more.
He was guessing in his mind what letter Wei Ting would write back now. If it was a regular military report, he should write a note instead of this ordinary letter paper.
This shows that it is most likely a private matter, not a public matter.
Lu Juan glared at King Yong angrily. No matter what happened, it was definitely not a good thing, but he couldn't push it back.
Please...you...collect 6...9...books...!
After he opened it, he only read a few lines and immediately knelt down and said: "Your Majesty, you must not do this."
Emperor Wu Su said expressionlessly: "I think what General Wei said is reasonable."
Lu Juan had anxiety on his face and said, "Your Majesty, please think twice!"
Seeing the anxious look on the calm Prince Lu, Zhao Minghong scratched his head and regretted not taking a look at the content of the letter.
"As long as you know about this, you stay in the court and make preparations early."
Emperor Wu Su took out a golden turtle seal and said calmly: "Lu Juan, come up and receive the official seal."
Lu Juan raised his head and saw clearly what was in the emperor's hand, and was obviously stunned.
This is the prime minister's seal.
In all dynasties, there has never been a prime minister under the age of thirty. Even if there is no one in the court, there are still many senior ministers.
Lu Juan hesitated for a moment, then declined: "Weak ministers are not enough."
Emperor Wu Su said: "Ziyou, if there is any deficiency, make up for it."
Hearing the sound, Lu Juan looked up and looked at the emperor's expression.
Emperor Wu Su was seen playing with the gold seal in his hand, and said with a raised lip: "I won't force you to do it or not, but I will only give you one chance. If you miss this time, there will be no next time."
Lu Juan's eyes no longer wandered, he kowtowed and said loudly: "I am a humble minister, and you have fulfilled your mission."
"Go ahead, I don't have much time to prepare."
Lu Juan left with the prime minister's golden seal.
Zhao Minghong also looked at the emperor eagerly. He had no merit these days, but he had worked hard, so he deserved something.
Emperor Wu Su said: "Minghong."
Zhao Minghong said: "My brother is here."
"Close the door when you leave."
When King Yong was dejected, Emperor Wu Su said: "Minghong, there is one more thing."
Zhao Minghong raised his head and said expectantly: "Brother Emperor, just tell me if you have anything to say."
A sword was thrown over, its scabbard engraved with nine dragons.
"You take it."
Zhao Minghong held the heavy sword with both hands dumbly.
"Brother Royal."
"Yuan Heng, you will protect me, I can rest assured."
