Chapter 272 The Appeal of a New Chapter
"girl!"
"How's it going? How's it going to be when we open in a couple of days?"
Hua Ping nodded, her lips curving upwards.
Ye Yuwu felt reassured and entrusted the pastry shop to her management.
When Ye Yuwu returned from Bianjing, he was promoted two ranks and transferred from the Three Departments to the Privy Council. The news was quickly relayed back to the Three Departments.
The officials of the three departments were astonished, their faces contorted in distress, almost on the verge of tears.
Meanwhile, the Censorate next door was all smiles.
Let them be so cocky before!
Even if the officials of the Three Departments were unhappy, since the order came from His Majesty, no one dared to question it.
The poor officials thought that this was the result of their year and a half of waiting, so they blocked the office of the official in charge of the three departments every day, crying and complaining that their superiors had failed to keep Lord Ye in the three departments.
After handing over his duties to the three departments, Ye Yuwu went to the Privy Council.
The Privy Council and the Three Departments are quite different. Previously, the officials of all ranks in the Three Departments were extremely busy, while the Privy Council was very leisurely.
Surprisingly, you can even see officials brewing and enjoying tea.
The Privy Councilor personally led Ye Yuwu into the courtyard.
Seeing that she seemed very curious about the officials, and knowing what she was probably thinking, he offered to explain.
"Although the Privy Council sounds very prestigious, it is actually an official agency that His Majesty just established. At present, most of the military and political affairs are in the hands of the Ministry of War, so the Privy Council looks very leisurely."
After hearing the Privy Councilor's explanation, Ye Yuwu guessed that it was probably not that simple. The emperor's sudden establishment of the Privy Council to coordinate military and political affairs was also to check and balance the Ministry of War.
After all, the Ministry of War now holds a large military force and is in a situation of absolute dominance. How could the emperor feel at ease? That's why the Privy Council was established despite all difficulties.
This is because the Ministry of War has a very tight grip on military and political affairs, and now it is extremely difficult for the Privy Council to extract even a trace of power from them.
The Privy Council is now in dire straits, and the emperor is naturally very anxious as he has not seen the Privy Council grow stronger as expected.
However, she didn't understand why the emperor had sent her here. What ability did she have to improve the Privy Council?
If she couldn't figure it out, she stopped thinking about it. Upon assuming her new post, she was appointed by the emperor as the co-signatory of the Privy Council, tasked with assisting the deputy privy councilor and the co-signatory of the Privy Council.
This time she did have her own office, but it was less interesting than when she was in the Three Departments. She sat in her office for a day and slept for a day, without doing anything. She wiped her drool and then left.
During Ye Yuwu's few days of duty at the Privy Council, the novel "Wuming" which she had been waiting for for a year and a half was finally published amidst great anticipation.
People lament that Mr. Wuming's writings are being published at a slower and slower pace.
Despite their complaints, the moment Mr. Wuming released his storybook, it was instantly snapped up by them.
After all, the name of Mr. Wuming is a guarantee of the quality of the storybook.
A craze for buying storybooks swept through Bianjing, making them impossible to purchase.
How many people were queuing outside the small bookstore?
Even some officials have taken sick leave.
Of course, as court officials, they couldn't possibly queue up to buy the books themselves; they all sent their servants. The reason they had to take sick leave was because their servants had successfully snatched the storybooks, and they were rushing back to the mansion to read them!
Several literati and scholars had also managed to snag a copy of the storybook, and a dozen of them booked a private room at the Mingyue Restaurant to read it together.
"You have no idea how hard it is to get these storybooks! Brother Zhang and I started waiting in the middle of the night to be at the front of the line and buy them."
"Exactly! They squeezed me so much my hair ornament almost fell off. These people call themselves scholars, they're no different from shrewish street hustlers!"
Mr. Wuming's influence is too strong! Even they, who are well-informed, have never seen such a scene of book snatching.
Previously, some people had already predicted that Mr. Wuming had run out of ideas and could no longer come up with or write new stories, since he had not released a new book for a long time. It has been more than a year and there is still no sign that he intends to release a new storybook.
Some people spread rumors that the reason Wuming hadn't written any new stories for so long was because he had gone to the border with his wife, Lord Ye, which was why he stopped updating.
I don't know what these people were thinking, that they could actually compare the time when Lord Ye went to the border with the time when Mr. Wuming stopped updating his work.
If it weren't for the fact that the ending of "The Little Chef of Jin Dynasty" had been printed out, they probably would still be flaunting it everywhere.
Thinking of this, the group felt indignant.
They were Mr. Wuming's book fanatics, and naturally they wouldn't tolerate others spreading rumors about him!
These people, each holding a few storybooks, huddled together reading them with great interest.
"What is the title of this story?"
The group glanced at the book cover and saw the words "Peerless Divine Doctor: The Useless Young Lady's Fate Changes Against Heaven" prominently displayed.
"Miracle doctor?"
"No one in the world dares to call themselves a miracle doctor, yet Mr. Wuming dares to put the words 'miracle doctor' in the title of his book?!"
"Mr. Wuming dares to write like this, he must be very confident. Every time Mr. Wuming writes, he has slapped some people in the face!" The person who said this is a complete "brainless fan" of Wuming.
"He must have some extraordinary abilities; this has piqued my interest! I'd like to see what kind of person can be called a miracle doctor!"
The person next to him nodded in agreement, "Hurry up and open the book! I can't wait."
They opened the book, but after reading only the first paragraph, they couldn't understand it at all.
"What kind of century is the 21st century? I've never heard of it before. I've heard of military doctors, but what does time travel mean?"
"Mr. Wuming has noted that the 21st century is a world from thousands of years ago!"
"What a profound beginning! Fortunately, the rest of the story is understandable."
Shen Aoning, a military doctor in the 21st century, was on a mission abroad with the national army. She was treating a patient with a gunshot wound when an explosion suddenly occurred in her tent. She then experienced tinnitus and blindness, and was momentarily plunged into a state of confusion.
When she woke up, she found herself lying on the bluestone path dressed in red, and she could feel the pain in her body.
She just couldn't understand why she hadn't died. It seemed that a terrorist organization had dropped a bomb on her tent. Had she survived such an impact?
But if she really did survive, what's going on with her like this? Why is she waking up on the ground dressed in ancient clothes?
Shen Aoning soon received the original owner's memories.
She then realized that she had time-traveled to ancient times, and that the body she had transmigrated into had been tortured to death a few hours earlier.
That's why she was transported to this body.
"Wait a minute, is this Shen Aoning a ghost? She can possess other people's bodies, that's terrifying to think about!" The readers outside the book were startled by this description.
"Are you crazy? The reason Shen Aoning is inhabiting this young lady's body is because she's already dead! It's not like Shen Aoning possessed someone else's body!" The explanation from the person next to her was met with everyone's agreement.
"My God! This setting is too novel! How could Mr. Wuming have such an idea! Time travel! I've never heard of it before, let alone traveling from the future to the present! I can't even imagine what the world will be like thousands of years from now, and I don't even dare to think about it!"
The scholars and writers present all thought the same way; they simply could not imagine what the world would be like thousands of years from now.
My expectations for this story written by the anonymous author are even higher.
