Chapter 185 The Goal of Effort
They set up camp in the wilderness. The imperial chefs had already begun cooking, all eager to impress the emperor.
This opportunity to come out is perfect; they could create something amazing in the wilderness. But the Emperor has decreed that everything should be kept simple!
The imperial chefs were in a dilemma. If there were no such rule, they could have prepared everything in a more elaborate manner, but the emperor had ordered that everything be simplified.
What they need to do is deal with the emperor, the princes, numerous ministers, and so many young masters.
Everyone needs to be taken care of; if it's simple and crude, wouldn't that be a slap in the face to the emperor?
These all required careful attention, and the imperial chefs put in their best efforts to find a way to make them simple, delicious, and appealing to their masters without being extravagant.
The emperor didn't have so many thoughts. In the past, when he was on campaign, he was just like any other soldier, eating whatever was available.
We brought them out here, not for leisure, and besides, there are so many of them, especially the younger generation.
These children are spoiled at home, so coming out is a good opportunity for them to get some exercise.
We're preventing them from being over-raised. If we manage them well now, we can save our grandchildren some trouble in the future.
After the emperor finished issuing the order, he heard the children shouting outside.
The emperor smiled and said:
"Prime Minister, you see, no matter when, children are always the most carefree."
Prime Minister Ji smiled and stroked his beard, saying:
"Your Majesty has fought for half your life, and now you have brought peace to the world, with people living in peace and contentment, and children carefree. Isn't this exactly the goal you have strived for?"
The Emperor threw his head back and laughed heartily, saying:
"It seems that sending the Prime Minister this time was the right decision."
I've been in the carriage for half a day, Prime Minister, come with me for a walk.
Look at these kids, what are they doing?
"It's so lively, let's go join in the fun."
Despite saying they were just joining in the fun, the Emperor and his entourage didn't get close; they simply watched from a distance.
The Emperor looked at Jia Hu, who was leading the crowd. This child was indeed extraordinary. Among so many children, he was able to keep the crowd in check and did not ignore Ming He's presence.
Indeed, he is quite good. If trained properly, he will be a valuable asset in the future.
Ji Mingxu was waiting next to Yu Jia. When he saw the Emperor and his grandfather coming over, he came over to bow and greet the Emperor.
The Emperor was delighted to see Ji Mingxu arrive, recognizing him as another promising young talent.
Although Old Man Ji's ideas are quite disliked, they are still beneficial to him.
Over the years, I have devoted myself wholeheartedly to the imperial court.
They only recognize bloodlines. As long as the Ji family remains true to its original aspirations and holds fast to them, the Ji family can also be a useful weapon.
Seeing his grandson approach, Prime Minister Ji knew he was here again to remind him to take care of his health, and waved his hand impatiently, saying:
"I'll go for a walk with the Emperor; you can go have fun by yourself."
Helpless, Ji Mingxu could only bow and return.
The Emperor smiled and pointed to the Chancellor, saying:
"You, you, the grandson is just showing concern, and you, you old geezer, don't even appreciate it."
Prime Minister Ji smiled and said:
"He, as the grandson, is more talkative than I, the grandfather. How can I not be annoyed?"
The Emperor and Prime Minister Ji strolled outside, both smiling.
Prime Minister Ji felt that the Emperor was in a much better mood after this trip.
They're also more willing to crack jokes and aren't as tense as before.
Prime Minister Ji sighed inwardly, thinking that such peace would be truly desirable if it could be maintained indefinitely.
The princes are growing up day by day; it would be best if they didn't cause any chaos, as that would be good for the people and the court.
