If I were born again, I would marry a strong but short-lived husband.

Chapter 535 Your Majesty, I Request the Disbanding of the Women's Army

The royal capital.

A loud thunder suddenly exploded in the air.

All the civil and military officials in the hall were so shocked that their backs straightened.

Just now...what did Prime Minister Ruan say?

They couldn't hear very well.

Fu Jinyi, who was sitting on the dragon throne, looked at his uncle with stern eyes. He suspected that the thunder was too loud, so he might have heard it wrongly.

Ruan Xinglin spoke again, "I beg the emperor to disband the women's army, reorganize them, and abolish the positions of female officials in the court. The existence of female officials is not very meaningful now. The national treasury should increase revenue and reduce expenditure to enhance national strength."

"..."

The whole hall was silent.

Either they are crazy or Ruan Xinglin is crazy!

Everyone knows that the women's army and female officials were recognized by the court and the people of the world with great difficulty thanks to the empress dowager.

Now you're talking about disbanding and banning?

Does the Queen Mother know that Prime Minister Ruan stabbed her in the back so hard?

It took Fu Jinyi a long time to come back to his senses, with astonishment in his eyes. His uncle had never discussed this matter with him.

"Mr. Prime Minister, this matter is of great importance and requires careful consideration." Fu Jinyi spoke in a deep voice and did not agree immediately.

"Your Majesty!" Ruan Xinglin did not back down, but took out the memorial, "This is the rules I drafted. Even if we disband the women's army, we will make good arrangements for them. As for the female officials, they can be given the title of princess..."

Fu Jinyi interrupted him, "Prime Minister, we will discuss this matter later."

Ruan Xinglin knew that it would not be possible to accomplish it in one go, so he bent down and bowed, "Yes, Your Majesty."

"Let's adjourn the court!" Fu Jinyi stood up and left.

"Lord Ruan, what happened to you today?" Duke Dingguo walked up to Ruan Xinglin and asked in a low voice.

"Nothing." Ruan Xinglin restrained his expression and smiled faintly.

King Kang came over and looked him over carefully. "Are you possessed by a ghost?"

"..." Ruan Xinglin chuckled, "Even if there is a ghost, it can't come out in broad daylight."

"That's true." King Kang nodded.

"Then why do you say such things? Are you crazy?"

Ruan Xinglin took a deep breath and said, "I am fine, Your Majesty, please don't worry about me."

"Prime Minister Ruan, I heard from Doctor Zhou that men tend to have wild thoughts when they reach a certain age. I think you should go to Doctor Zhou to get some medicine." King Kang said.

Ruan Xinglin had no doubt about King Kang's intelligence as he was able to raise his son into a playboy.

"Thank you, I will." He didn't want to argue with King Kang.

"The Queen Mother's maid is here. Prime Minister, take care." Duke Dingguo patted Ruan Xinglin on the shoulder and together with Prince Kang, they distanced themselves from him.

Qingli came to Ruan Xinglin, knelt down and saluted, "Sir, the Queen Mother invites you."

Ruan Xinglin was not surprised, he knew that the Queen Mother would definitely look for him.

"The emperor is still waiting for me in the imperial study. Please apologize to the Empress Dowager on my behalf. I will go and apologize later." Ruan Xinglin said in a low voice.

"Sir!" Qingli frowned. She didn't understand what was wrong with Sir Ruan and why he suddenly became the opposite of the Empress Dowager.

Ruan Xinglin ignored him and walked towards the imperial study without looking back.

Fu Jinyi had already sent all the palace people away and sat quietly behind the desk, with a tonic soup in his hand that the empress dowager had sent him, and a secret letter from his eldest brother on the table.

My eldest brother's letters always have only one thing in mind, which is to tell him to take good care of himself, not to overwork himself and not to worry.

He said that the Southern Dynasty would not cease to function without him as the emperor, but if he lost his younger brother, he would never have a younger brother in his life.

Really...it made him cry for a long time while holding the letter.

"Your Majesty, what happened?" Ruan Xinglin walked into the imperial study and was startled when he saw his little nephew's red eyes.

"It's okay." Fu Jinyi sniffed.

"Uncle, what do you want to do? Why do you want to disband the women's army? Their existence poses no threat to me." Fu Jinyi sighed and asked Ruan Xinglin to sit down and talk.

"Their existence will make some people still have unrealistic fantasies. It is better to let them give up these thoughts completely." Ruan Xinglin said expressionlessly.

"Have you discussed this with your mother?" Fu Jinyi asked.

Ruan Xinglin: “…”

"Aren't you afraid that your sister will beat you to death?" Fu Jinyi asked again.

"Your Majesty, I am doing this for you and for the Southern Dynasty..." Ruan Xinglin pursed his lips.

"There can't be another Salt Lake City!"

Fu Jinyi said, "Disbanding the army and abolishing female officials is not as easy as it sounds. Uncle, please don't mention this matter again, okay?"

"If Your Majesty is afraid that the Empress Dowager will object, then I will go and discuss it with her," said Ruan Xinglin.

Was he just afraid of his mother's objection? She was afraid that in the end, everyone's feelings would be consumed by this matter.

"Uncle, don't let Mother know about this..."

Ruan Xinglin: "The Queen Mother should have known about this, and she even sent someone to ask me to go to Kunning Palace."

"By the way, Your Majesty, the Shouning Palace has been renovated. The Queen Mother should choose an auspicious day to move to the palace. You are not young anymore, it is time to establish a queen."

Fu Jinyi snorted coldly, "A few days ago you said I was a child."

"..." Ruan Xinglin shook his head, "How could I say that?"

"Don't mention the matter of appointing a queen. I know what I am doing." Fu Jinyi said immediately.

"It doesn't matter where the Queen Mother lives. Just follow her own wishes."

Ruan Xinglin frowned, "Your Majesty..."

"Don't go to Kunning Palace, I'll go see my mother." Fu Jinyi said.

He was afraid that his uncle would quarrel with his mother.

"The Queen Mother wants to see me, not the Emperor." Ruan Xinglin stood up immediately. "Can I hide from the Queen Mother forever?"

Fu Jinyi frowned, "Then I will go with my uncle."

"Your Majesty, the Queen Mother and I are siblings after all. It would not be good for you to be present if we had a quarrel," Ruan Xinglin reminded him.

"Okay, okay." Fu Jinyi sat back down.

He is really worried.

After Ruan Xinglin left, Fu Jinyi sent someone to summon Zhou Zhou to the palace.

Zhou Zhou thought that the emperor had a heart attack, which came quickly and urgently.

"Your Majesty looks well." Zhou Zhou was breathing heavily as he looked at the emperor biting a candied haws.

"Doctor Zhou, please come quickly and take my pulse. I was so scared by my uncle just now that I almost fell off the throne." Fu Jinyi quickly stretched out his hand.

Zhou Zhou lowered his eyes and walked forward to feel his pulse. Although he looked a little weak, he was much better than before.

"Your Majesty, you should eat less sugar. Teeth are easily damaged. If you have toothache, you will feel very uncomfortable." Zhou Zhou reminded in a gentle voice.

"My life has been a bit bitter lately, and I can only eat sweet things." Fu Jinyi sighed again.

"Doctor Zhou, can I go to Suzhou in my current health?" Fu Jinyi asked suddenly.

"..." Zhou Zhou raised his head and glanced at the little emperor.

"If Your Majesty wishes to go to Suzhou, I will accompany you."

Fu Jinyi's eyes lit up, "Doctor Zhou, although you look cold-blooded, you have a soft heart."

“……”Go by yourself!
