Chapter 656: Imperial Commander
Xiao Diyuan also agreed: "As parents, no matter how well they understand righteousness, they will not be willing to send their daughters into such a situation." ”
The Queen Mother nodded and said: "Yes, but if you have talent, good looks, and strategy, you must also have courage, and you can't be too old, there are not many such women." ”
Truly.
There are some women in the harem with good conditions, but after all, they are all from well-born families, they will definitely not be willing to go, and their relatives will not be willing, and they are all emperor's women, how can they be given to the monarchs of other countries?
Jiang Yuetang proposed: "You might as well look for it from the Qing/Lou, first, there are many beauties there, second, the beauties there are all good at piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and third, they know how to use their style to please men." ”
The emperor was pleasantly surprised: "This is a good idea. ”
Others agreed.
So the emperor immediately sent someone to inform Wang Ding and Long Tengfei and let them enter the palace immediately.
At the same time, the emperor sent people to secretly go to the famous four Qing/Lou in the capital to look for candidates for beauty.
Wang Ding and Long Tengfei arrived in less than three quarters of an hour, and after listening to the emperor's account, both of them expressed their willingness to accept the task.
The emperor was overjoyed, and he gave them dinner that day, and rewarded them heavily.
Naturally, the emperor also rewarded Jiang Yuetang and asked Jiang Yuetang to come to the morning court every day from the eighth day of the new year.
Jiang Yuetang hurriedly shook his head and said: "There is no strategist in this dynasty who has gone to the early dynasty, and the qualifications of the ministers are shallower than those of other strategists, so they dare not enjoy this qualification." ”
The Emperor smiled and said, "But your deeds are greater than those of other advisors, and no one else has anything to say about this, let alone an order from me myself." ”
The Empress Dowager also smiled and said: "Since Your Majesty has given you this qualification, it proves that Your Majesty hopes that you will participate in political affairs more in the future, which is extremely helpful to your promotion, and you should cherish it." ”
Xiao Diyuan also said: "Thank Your Majesty." ”
Jiang Yuetang knelt down and said respectfully: "Minister, Jiang Yueting, thank Your Majesty Longen!"
Now that she saw Xiao Diyuan, Jiang Yuetang was satisfied, so she didn't let Xiao Diyuan send it when she left, and she didn't mean to go to Qingyun Palace, where Xiao Diyuan was, to sit.
She didn't want the two to get too close in the palace, after all, the palace was full of people, and she had to think about Xiao Diyuan's reputation even if she didn't think about her own reputation.
Xiao Diyuan understood her thoughts, so he didn't step forward to send her off when she left, but sent her away with his eyes before turning around and returning to his residence.
On the eighth day of the first lunar month, Jiang Yuetang went to the morning court for the first time.
Not only did she get up early that day, but Mrs. Tao and Zhen Huiyuan got up earlier than her.
For Mrs. Tao and Zhen Huiyuan, being qualified to go to the early dynasty is a sign that a person is recognized by the emperor, and it is also a sign that a person's ability has reached a certain level, so they are very grateful and naturally treat it very solemnly.
Yesterday, the two of them also burned incense for their ancestors, asking them to bless Jiang Yuetang with prosperous official fortune and good luck.
This is the most sumptuous breakfast Jiang Yuetang has ever eaten, with pastries, stir-fries, soups, vegetables, porridge and rice, all of which are made by Mrs. Tao and Zhen Huiyuan.
During the banquet, Mrs. Tao and Zhen Huiyuan inevitably gave her some earnest instructions, and there were both reminders and pride in their words.
Jiang Yuetang remembered their words one by one in her heart.
On this day, when Jiang Yuetang, dressed in a strategist's outfit, appeared in the court, everyone's eyes looked at her in unison, some people were surprised, some people were full of disdain, and some people smiled at her, a look of welcome and appreciation.
Jiang Yuetang greeted everyone with a smile, and only looked at the emperor intently after the emperor arrived.
The emperor looked at the civil and military officials below and said, "Jiang Yueting was granted by me to go to the early dynasty, he is the first person in the past hundred years to obtain the qualification of a top strategist at the age of ten, and he is also the first person in the past hundred years to win for the Zhao Kingdom at the age of nine." The first person in the '95 Race', the first person in the past 100 years to serve as a deputy general before the age of fifteen, not only broke this record, but also took the initiative to solve problems for the country every time the country was in crisis, and every time he performed well, in view of his contributions, I not only made an exception to allow him to participate in political affairs in the early dynasty, but also appointed him as my imperial military advisor, effective immediately. ”
This is also the meaning of the king's military advisor, whose status is higher than that of the top strategist.
Before this, the emperor had never set up such an official position, so when the emperor announced the news, the whole hall was in an uproar.
There are many talents in Zhaoguo who are good at planning, but the emperor only wants this hairy boy who is only fourteen years old, which has to be surprising.
But when everyone calmed down and thought about it, they didn't dare to disagree.
As the emperor said, although Jiang Yuetang is young, she has indeed done several far-reaching things for Zhaoguo, and she is indeed outstanding, plus she is a descendant of a generation of famous ministers Jiang Chuanxiong, it is understandable that the emperor is particularly important.
In Jiang Yuetang's opinion, it is a great honor to have the qualifications of the early dynasty at this age and this qualification, but I didn't expect the emperor to appoint her as the former military advisor, and I was pleasantly surprised for a while, and I didn't know whether to accept or refuse.
When her mind was deliberating on this poem, the emperor had already looked at her with a smile on his face and asked, "Jiang Aiqing has any concerns?"
Jiang Yuetang suddenly thought of his grandfather and father's high hopes for him, and suddenly had no doubts at all, and immediately knelt down and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, Longen!"
The Emperor laughed and said, "In the future, after you finish the morning court, you will go to work in the strategist group, and in the afternoon, you will come to me in the afternoon to assist me in reviewing and reviewing the recitals and handling political affairs." ”
"It's ....... This work has always been done by no one except His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the head of the cabinet, and the ministers are afraid that they will .......," Jiang Yuetang said respectfully.
The Emperor smiled and said, "At present, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is still young, and the first assistant of the cabinet is very busy, and you are my imperial military advisor, so it is most suitable for you to assist me." ”
Jiang Yuetang thought of Xiao Diyuan again.
Why didn't the emperor let Xiao Diyuan assist in reviewing the recitals? With Xiao Diyuan's ability, he would definitely do this work even better than her.
But soon she understood, and she knelt down again to give thanks.
After the early dynasty, when Jiang Yuetang went to the strategist group, several ministers immediately came forward to congratulate her, and praised her as a young talent once in a hundred years in Zhaoguo, believing that she would have a very brilliant future.
Jiang Yuetang thanked politely and continued to calmly go to the strategist group.
From this day on, Jiang Yuetang shuttled between the court, the Yinghua Hall and the strategist group every day, becoming a rare busy man in the palace, and also became the most respected minister of the emperor in the eyes of everyone.
