The predator looked at the Eagle King and the Python with some disappointment, "Second brother, third brother, don't you feel a little off topic! Obviously, when it comes to this Princess Xueyan asking the emperor to learn about the situation of the pearl birds, why did she come to the emperor's favorite concubine again! Could it be that Concubine Zhen has anything to do with this matter? I don't know what to do in the clouds!"

Fang Lin also felt that something was not quite right, how could he carry a good Princess Xueyan and run to Concubine Zhen again.

Che Li smiled slightly, and didn't say anything, she had already guessed seven or eight points in her heart, but it was not easy to pick out. She wanted to see if her speculation coincided with what the Eagle King had said.

Everyone's questions are also the driving force for the Eagle King to continue, the more people are interested, the more he has to go on.

Although Python is a translator, he is also a listener, but he knows what follows before everyone else.

With Concubine Zhen's help, the emperor suddenly felt that the burden on his body was much lighter, and Concubine Zhen's speed of dealing with the twists and turns was amazing, she thought clearly, organized, and categorized, according to the characteristics of different regions, according to local conditions.

She is well versed in astronomy and geography, and is well versed in the characteristics of politics and economics, so she has added many strategies and methods to deal with problems in the review and review.

He has a strong sense of the overall situation, and is quite familiar with internal affairs, and is familiar with the business functions of the Ministry of Industry, the Criminal Department, the Military Department, the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Households, and the Ministry of Officials.

All projects, craftsmen, tuntian, water conservancy and other matters will be instructed to be implemented by the Ministry of Industry in accordance with the regulations.

She attaches great importance to the country's criminal punishment decrees and the handling of major cases, and she knows that only by formulating a system of rewards and punishments and allowing those who do evil to be severely punished, will the country be peaceful, and the people will live and work in peace and contentment, and will not close their doors at night. Once the policy is formulated, it will be handed over to the Criminal Department for implementation.

Of course, the country's military strength cannot be ignored, and Concubine Zhen collected the resumes of military attachés and prompted the emperor to reward and appoint them according to different experiences and types.

National defense is the top priority of the country, and military power should be dispersed as much as possible to avoid breeding incidents of rebellion.

Therefore, the military department has set up a large number of people, and deliberately chooses military attaches who rarely interact with each other on weekdays, and even have some festivals with each other, so as to reduce the occurrence of such gangs and factions, and arrange eyeliners to closely track the movements of these important officials. It's really well-intentioned.

The Ministry of Rites is an institution with great responsibility, and Concubine Zhen knows that if a country wants to develop and prosper, it cannot do without talents from all walks of life, and this is the responsibility of the Ministry of Rites.

In order to be able to cultivate talents, she proposed to establish a number of public schools and free tuition fees, so that more children from poor families who cannot afford to go to school can also have the opportunity to learn.

She knew very well that good talents may not come from the children of officials in the court, and the children of ordinary people would also have the possibility of talents, but the situation at that time was that going to school and studying was a very luxurious thing, and those who were rich and powerful hoped that their families would be able to produce talents for generations to be used by the imperial court.

And this literacy, science and literature, is the key, so the rich and powerful do not hesitate to spend a lot of money to get their children to school.

After completing the study, you can become a human being. However, the poor people's families don't even have money for food, let alone their children's education.

As a result, many glittering gold and wizards were buried deep in the earth.

Concubine Zhen has long seen this, she wants to choose talents in an eclectic manner, and heroes don't ask where they come from.

In addition, she also attaches great importance to the imperial examination, and what fairness is lies in this.

imperial examination

Major fraud cases occur from time to time, which makes the students who have been studying hard for ten years feel extremely disappointed.

This is also the easiest place to breed, she has formulated a law in a targeted manner, no matter who violates the law, she will be severely punished.

It's only been a few years, and the Ministry of Rites has been replaced five times. It also shows her ambition and determination to govern the country and secure the country.

Concubine Zhen felt that a country's economy was very important, and that the economy was prosperous and the politics were naturally stable.

At that time, the people were seriously affected, the crops were bleak, the people were suffering, and the people were struggling to make a living.

For a time, the enthusiasm of the people was mobilized, and this agricultural industry was unprecedentedly prosperous.

But when the taxes are reduced, the treasury will be empty. Then her second action came again.

She observed that the salaries of the court officials were astonishingly high, and she proposed that the officials of the court had been born for the country and the people, but now that there was a famine in various places and the people were not able to make a living, how could they sit idly by.

For the sake of the people and the country, court officials of all sizes donated half of their money to tide over this difficulty.

As soon as this order was issued, the officials were full of complaints, and even worse, they gathered officials to reason with the emperor, and Concubine Zhen signaled the emperor to demote these officials to commoners.

The emperor was very embarrassed, "Ai Concubine, I'm afraid it's not appropriate to do this, right? These are all officials of the imperial court, and demoting them to commoners, this name is not right!"

"Your Majesty! These important members of the imperial court were born for the people, and they put the community first, and those who serve the officials serve the people.

However, they still have the idea of extravagance and pleasure, and they still want to pamper and take the money of the imperial court, regardless of whether the people live or die.

To demote them to common people is just to let them feel the suffering of the people at the bottom, otherwise when they are enjoying themselves, they will not know that there are still poor people in the world who cannot eat.

It's almost time to reinstate him to his original position. Moreover, kill one to make an example, so that other officials will also change their thinking, and let them know that the court officials are not for pleasure, but for the people!"

Concubine Zhen spoke from the bottom of her heart and spoke eloquently. The Emperor nodded repeatedly.

"Loving Concubine is a genius in the world who governs the country and is safe! It is reasonable! It is reasonable!" The emperor nodded again and again, secretly admiring Concubine Zhen's thoughts in his heart.

The Ministry of Officials is the main grasp of the appointment and dismissal of officials, the important department of promotion, Concubine Zhen proposed, the selection and appointment of people, no matter how high the knowledge, how good the knowledge, it is secondary, people who can pass the scientific examination, the knowledge should not be too bad, the key is to look at the morality, to see if the person has the dedication to the country, for the people, to dispel these people in the court officials are to make a fortune and enjoy the unhealthy trend, to make them understand that as an official, for the benefit of one party, for the sake of dedication and not to take. For a time, there was a gratifying situation in the officialdom of the imperial court.

The emperor was very happy, and he shared these advanced ideas and strategies of Concubine Zhen with Prime Minister Hanyuan.

Hanyuan also couldn't stop nodding, "Your Majesty! Concubine Zhen's thinking is very progressive, which makes the old man feel refreshed, and he suddenly feels ashamed." Your Majesty might as well discuss more things with him, it is the most precious treasure for governing the country and the country! However, the old man is also a little worried!"

When the emperor heard this, he frowned, he didn't understand what he meant, what was Hanyuan's worry? Could he be worried that Concubine Zhen would become the second Wu Zetian? Can he still usurp this society? He was a little puzzled.

"Aiqing, what are your concerns? But it doesn't hurt to speak!" the emperor asked very sincerely.

"Your Majesty! Even if people have great skills, after all, their energy is limited, and Concubine Zhen's ability is very outstanding, but she has all kinds of opportunities, and she often hangs on the desk with candles when she listens to what you say, forgetting to sleep and eat, and the old man is worried about whether her body can eat well!

I also hope that Your Majesty will pay attention to it, once you fall ill, it will be a great loss to the country!" Hanyuan can always think of the essence and crux of the problem. His approach to the problem is unique, but it has unexpected results. The emperor suddenly realized that the prime minister was right! Concubine Ai always stayed overnight to deal with state affairs, working day and night, and if this went on for a long time, wouldn't this body be about to collapse?

That night, Concubine Zhen sat on the desk with candles as usual, and kept reading and reviewing the folds. The emperor took a red cloak and put it on her.

Concubine Zhen smiled slightly, "Your Majesty, you've been working hard all day, go and rest!"

"Concubine, let's read this book again tomorrow! Rest early today, and pay attention to your body!" the emperor looked at her with his gentle eyes with concern.

"Your Majesty, national affairs, we can't delay, this small twist and turn may be related to the comfort of thousands of people, we must ensure the timeliness of these things, and we must not miss a major event because of our momentary negligence!" Concubine Zhen said with some seriousness.

The emperor also nodded helplessly, the words of the concubine are always so reasonable, irrefutable.

He subconsciously stroked his back in order to relax him and relieve the fatigue of state affairs. "Concubine, I always think about one thing sometimes!"

When Concubine Zhen heard this, she put down the pen in her hand curiously and looked at him affectionately, "Your Majesty!

"If I weren't the Emperor, would you still be in love with me?" the Emperor's gentle eyes revealed an affectionate gaze.

"Your Majesty! It is the greatest happiness of my life to be your lover! It doesn't matter if you are an emperor or a prince.

The reason why I work day and night is completely out of love for you, and what I am most worried about is that you are overworking every day, and your body will collapse!

If I had a choice, I would like to hope that we can be an ordinary couple of ordinary people, just worrying about our own little family, although our lives may be poorer, but we are so carefree and live together sweetly.

Too poor and too rich, live a comfortable, free and easy, natural, without the troubles and shackles of these political affairs!" Concubine Zhen said her thoughts with affection.

The emperor embraced her into his arms, and his sincere words touched him deeply, why didn't he think so? He had a deep affection for Concubine Zhen, and not only did he always have endless topics to talk about. There are many opinions and ideas that always coincide.

"Ai Concubine, why don't I want to be an ordinary person? Although I am a true son of heaven, admired by the world, and high above, everyone has always seen my bright side. Who will pay attention to my side of managing all kinds of opportunities day and night, working day and night, worrying about the country and the people! I'm afraid that in this world, only Ai Concubine understands me!" Unconsciously, these tears flowed down.

Concubine Zhen also couldn't stop crying, she couldn't bear to be sad for her lover, so she wiped her tears and turned sadness into joy, tears into laughter, that laughter came from the heart, not the kind of forced laughter.

The emperor also wiped his tears and asked very curiously, "Ai Fei, why are you laughing?"

Concubine Zhen told the reason for this.

When the emperor heard this, he could not help but be overjoyed, and jumped up like a child. ”
