“When Prince Anyang ascends to the throne, the Nangong family will be exonerated. At that time, my grandfather can also retire and return to Daishi Village with us.”
Liu Wuji raised his glass in response.
“I hope everything goes smoothly.”
The next day.
The Yan Emperor, who had disappeared from the court for nearly a month, finally appeared.
The ministers were only then aware that their emperor was haggard and even found it difficult to stand.
Liu Wuji stood a little below the Yan Emperor’s dragon throne, while the other ministers stood below.
Among them were Prince Anyang and Lin Xiaoyue.
With a loud shout of “attend court” from the eunuch Da Hu, the ministers below knelt down in a row, and Liu Wuji also bowed deeply to the Yan Emperor.
“Long live the Emperor, long live the Emperor, long live the Emperor!” The ministers shouted.
“Rise.” The weak Yan Emperor raised his hand. His voice was almost like a sigh of air.
The ministers stood up, and each of them couldn’t help but look at each other, all very concerned about the Yan Emperor’s health.
The Yan Emperor naturally noticed it, but his expression became even more tired.
“Today, 1 am here to say two things.” He then suppressed his fatigue and looked at the ministers.
The ministers immediately bowed their heads and waited for the Yan Emperor to speak.
“First, it is the matter of promoting the “Arithmetic Books.”
As he spoke, the Yan Emperor’s turbid gaze looked down.
“Is the county head of Anyang here?” He asked because he couldn’t see the figure clearly.
Everyone looked at Lin Xiaoyue.
At the same time, they were even more concerned about the Yan Emperor’s health.
There was only one woman in the hall and her court uniform was very different from theirs. The Emperor couldn’t even see Lin Xiaoyue.
“I am here.” Lin Xiaoyue hurried forward a step and bowed to the Yan Emperor.
The Yan Emperor heard the voice and looked in the direction of Lin Xiaoyue.
However, he found that his vision was still blurry and he couldn’t see Lin Xiaoyue’s appearance clearly.
But that didn’t matter. He just needed to make sure that she was Lin Xiaoyue.
“The Arithmetic Book was compiled under your leadership.”
“I had previously let several ministers and great scholars read and study it, and found that this classic is of great value and is indeed suitable for popularization.”
“A few days ago, 1 issued an order to promote this book to the whole of the Great Yan.”
“Now that you have come to the capital, I will entrust the matter of promoting the book to you.”
“From today onwards, 1 appoint you as the promoter, in charge of the promotion of the Arithmetic Books. The Ministry of Rites will be responsible for providing personnel to cooperate with you.”
“Ensure that the books will be promoted throughout the country within the next year.”
“Three years later, the civil service examination will be adjusted to include the content of the books to recruit talents.” The Yan Emperor said in a deep voice.
When these words came out, the hall was in an uproar.
They knew that the emperor attached great importance to the Arithmetic Books, but they didn’t expect him to attach such importance to it.
Including the content of the books in the civil service examination is to truly make the books a classic of the Great Yan.
Lin Xiaoyue was also a little surprised.
But she didn’t hesitate and quickly accepted the decree.
“Thank you, Your Majesty!”
Hearing Lin Xiaoyue’s response, the Yan Emperor’s pale face finally showed a smile.
“Do your best! Three years later, you will surely leave your name in history.” At the same time, he could also leave some good reputation in history.
“I will not disappoint Your Majesty!”
She did not care about leaving her name in the history books, but she could not escape the fame that would spread throughout the Great Yan.
With the Emperor’s words today, even after a new Emperor ascended the throne, the promotion of the Arithmetic Book would not stop.
Even though she, the Anyang County Head, had no real power, her position would be difficult to shake.
The Emperor nodded.
Then, he withdrew his gaze.
“Where is Prince Anyang?” His voice had lost its previous warmth and instead carried a hint of displeasure.
“I am here!” The Prince of Anyang’s heart skipped a beat, and he quickly stood up.
The Emperor finally looked in the Prince Anyang’s direction.
“The second matter is about you,” the Emperor said.
The Prince of Anyang’s heart was filled with excitement.
Was his father going to announce that he was being named Crown Prince? Was he finally going to enter the Eastern Palace?
Prince Anyang waited for a long time, but the Emperor did not speak.
Just as he was starting to feel something was wrong and was about to raise his head, the Emperor finally spoke again.
“You are my eldest son. I am currently ill and need someone to attend to me.”
“In the next few days, you will move into the palace and attend to me personally.”
Prince Anyang was shocked.
The expressions of the ministers in the court also changed.
The Emperor had asked Prince Anyang to enter the palace just to have him attend to his illness? This was not about naming a Crown Prince?
“I obey the order!” Prince Anyang was dazed for a moment, but despite the panic in his heart, he quickly forced himself to calm down and accepted the order..
