Yuwen Chengji was overjoyed, took the opportunity to step forward, and said loudly: "Your Majesty, the minister is also willing to protect one person." ”

As soon as the words fell, Yu Wenhua glared at him and scolded in a low voice: "Don't talk nonsense!" ”

But Yang Guang looked full of interest, and asked with a smile: "Chengji, let's talk about it!" ”

"Your Majesty, the person recommended by the minister, far away in the sky, close in front of you, is Yuan Ziyan, the daughter of Lord Yuan!" After Yuwen Chengji finished speaking, he didn't say anything, everyone saw what Yang Guang meant, and you had to say it.

Oh? Yang Guang deliberately made a look of surprise and asked, "I don't know why Yuan Ziyan took on this position?" ”

"Your Majesty, the dog is too young, he is talking nonsense, and I ask Your Majesty to forgive me!" Yu Wenhua hurriedly said for his son.

"It's just a recommendation, Hugh has to stop it!" Yang Guang raised his hand and said: "Although Chengji said, even if there is something wrong, I will forgive you for your innocence!" ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Yuwen Chengji said neither humbly nor arrogantly: "After the purple smoke girl entered the palace, she punished the good and promoted the evil, and she had the merit of saving the driver, and she got the true biography of Yuan Tianshi, and the hexagram was all inaccurate. ”

"Hey, hey, concede!" Yuan Ziyan got carried away and waved his hand at Yuwen Chengji, Yang Guang hurriedly coughed softly to stop it, signaling her to restrain herself.

Yuan Ziyan hurriedly stood up, but his liver was a little excited.

"Since this is the case, then according to the wishes of the Qing, you might as well let Yuan Ziyan give it a try." Yang Guang wanted to make a decision when he said it, but the ministers were in an uproar, but Yuwen Chengji recommended it alone, and the rest of the people did not express their position, so how could they say that it was based on the brothers?

Yu Shiji thought for a while, stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, please forgive the old minister for being blunt, the old minister thinks that Yuan Ziyan is not suitable for this position. ”

Yang Guang frowned and asked, "But why?" ”

"Your Majesty, Taishi orders the official residence from the fifth grade, even if this position, ordinary officials need to be qualified in the year of confusion. Although the Purple Smoke Girl is smart, she is young after all, and she is afraid that it will be difficult to convince the public in the future. Yu Shiji said again: "Besides, I have never said that a woman has ever been an official in Dasui, and if it is spread, I am afraid that it will be laughable and generous." ”

Yang Guang waved his hand disapprovingly and said, "Although Ziyan is young, he is very smart. The day before the trip to Yanmen, I had a dream, dreaming that I was living above the wild goose, and the ministers all said that it was good, but Ziyan predicted that there would be an accident. Facts have proved that I was walking through Yanmen, besieged by the Turks, lonely and helpless, just like standing on the back of a goose, precarious. ”

This, Yu Shiji hesitated a little, but still insisted: "There are always coincidences in dreams, and the purple smoke girl was also vague that day, and she didn't see this danger, otherwise how could she not stop Your Majesty in time." ”

"In addition, there are often women in the official outside the fan, my Dasui has a long history and a long history, why can't I set this precedent, and finally be laughed at by Fanbang?" Yang Guang patiently explained Yu Shiji's second article.

"Your Majesty, what the minister has to say is that the women outside the fan are all hereditary queens, and they cannot be compared." Yu Shiji said.

Yang Guang's face was gloomy, couldn't he even be handpicked by an official from the fifth grade? "Zhongqing has repeatedly blocked it, but what is the reason?"

The ministers would never dare!

A large number of people knelt down in an uproar, looking like they were sincerely afraid, but relying on the strength of the crowd, no one gave in.

Yuan Ziyan was very frustrated, and he was clearly happy in vain! You can't be this Taishi Ling, but after all, don't you dislike this girl for being a woman?

Where is the difference between women? However, in a hundred years, there will be a female emperor in Chinese history, can it be imagined by you elm pimples?

Yang Guang was also full of displeasure, in response to the old saying, the emperor also had a helpless time, suppressed his anger, and said: "It's better to test for some time, usually the purple smoke of the dynasty can also participate in the government and prove his talent." ”

The ministers felt even more incredible, but Yang Guang didn't give them a chance to refute, announced his retreat from the court, got up and left with his hands behind his back.

Yuan Ziyan followed behind Yang Guang listlessly with his head drooping, Yang Guang smiled and comforted: "Ziyan, everything will not be done overnight, wait patiently, you will definitely wait for the opportunity." ”

"Well, I'm fine, nothing!" Yuan Ziyan pretended to smile lightly, Yang Guang couldn't help but laugh out loud when he saw this, he didn't see it before, Yuan Ziyan was still an official fan.

In return, whether it is to make the best use of one's talents, Yang Guang secretly made up his mind that Yuan Ziyan must be promoted to the position of Taishi Ling.

In fact, Yuan Ziyan couldn't figure out why she was so disappointed, when she was in school before, she didn't even choose a team leader who collected homework. Middle school is even more mediocre, except for outstanding historical achievements, but this is a minor subject, and no one takes it seriously.

When he went to university, Yuan Ziyan chose the history department, thinking that he had found a direction, swimming in the sea of books, and his academic performance was among the best. Cut, who still looks at grades when they are in college, long live passing, one more point is wasted. Therefore, neither the League cadres nor the student union have Yuan Ziyan, and she never cares, she has to get by.

The news that Yuan Ziyan was nominated for the post of Taishi Ling, like heavy news, shocked the Houting court again.

Xu Tingfu was very uneasy, Yuan Ziyan is so arrogant now, and if she becomes the first female official of the Great Sui, will her life be better in the future?

Queen Xiao was even more upset, with a splitting headache, Yuan Ziyan rushed into herself the previous time, but Yang Guang not only punished this woman, but also didn't even send a word of comfort to herself.

From time to time, there are rumors that His Majesty may make Yuan Ziyan a concubine, and Empress Xiao is worried that after she is old and decrepit, will even the position of the queen be snatched by this woman.

However, at this time, there was a surprising news that Yuan Ziyan was going to be an official! Empress Xiao really couldn't figure out what tricks the emperor was playing.

"Niangniang can rest assured, the ministers did not agree to this, and Your Majesty had to give up." Xinlian comforted.

"Hey, our emperor is stubborn, he won't give up until he reaches his goal, he didn't pass this time, and he can't guarantee that he won't mention it again tomorrow." Empress Xiao sighed.

"That's fine, if Yuan Ziyan becomes an official, he won't be sealed in the back court, how can Tai Shiling compete for the position of ** in the back court?" Xinlian comforted.

A sentence seemed to remind Empress Xiao, she sat up straight, yes, if Yuan Ziyan became an official, how could she be a concubine? As long as she doesn't stay in the back court, it is equivalent to one less opponent.

Empress Xiao said worriedly: "If Yuan Ziyan gains power in his post, establishes merits, and is convenient for winning over the ministers, wouldn't he have the capital to compete for the queen?" ”

Xinlian didn't think so, and said with a smile: "Niangniang, if Yuan Ziyan is really qualified for this position, of course he will be a marquis according to the ancestral system in the future, even if he is a king, it doesn't matter." And you also have the two princes of King Qi and King Zhao, Your Majesty agreed, and the two princes did not agree. ”

Empress Xiao nodded, feeling that what Xinlian said was very reasonable, and Xinlian said in a low voice: "Niangniang, in her position, you have to seek her own government, Yuan Ziyan is a person who is used to being big, and Niangniang also has some cronies in the imperial court, it is easier to find her a mistake!" ”

"However, Yuan Ziyan has His Majesty's protection?"

"Your Majesty can protect her for a while, will he protect her for the rest of his life?" Xinlian blurted out.

Empress Xiao's face suddenly became gloomy, and she scolded: "You slaves and maids have been spoiled by this palace, and you dare to say this kind of nonsense, spread it, my palace can't protect you!" ”

Xinlian hurriedly slapped herself in the mouth and explained: "Niangniang, what the slave means is that His Majesty is only rare to Yuan Ziyan for a while, maybe one day he will get tired of it." After a few more years, Yuan Ziyan is old and yellow, and she is not as blessed as Niangniang, she can have a face forever, how can Your Majesty look at her more. ”

Hehe, Queen Xiao finally showed a smile, pointed at the forehead of Xinlian, and said with a smile: "You have always been peaceful, but now you have become sharp and bright!" ”

"Hey, aren't you worried about your mother!"

Empress Xiao made up her mind in her heart, maybe she could come forward and help His Majesty achieve her wish. In the court, there are a lot of people who can talk to Queen Xiao, and this matter is not so important, and create a few more opportunities for Yuan Ziyan, everything will go smoothly and naturally.

"Niangniang, Father-in-law Xu asks to see!" A palace maid came in to report.

"Call him in!" According to the previous habit, Xinlian said loudly, but Queen Xiao stopped her and said coldly: "Let's just say that this palace is dedicated to copying Buddhist scriptures, and there will be no outsiders within seven days!" Let him go back, and we'll talk about it later! ”

When the palace maid left, Xinlian asked puzzledly: "Niangniang, then Xu Tingfu is also loyal to you, presumably this time he is also here for Yuan Ziyan, why didn't Niangniang see him?" ”

"Hou's death is inevitably related to Xu Tingfu's deliberate concealment, and Your Majesty will think so even more, keeping him with his old life is nothing more than feeling that the palace is intentionally biased on weekdays." Empress Xiao sneered: "In the eyes of this palace, this old dog is nothing more than a chess piece, and now it has become a hidden danger, this palace naturally can't keep it, choose the opportunity, this palace will personally admonish Your Majesty to get rid of this person!" ”

"Wonderful, as soon as Xu Tingfu dies, then the rift between His Majesty and Niangniang because of the Hou family will disappear, and at the same time, it will also deter Yuan Ziyan, which is really a lot of success." Xinlian chuckled and praised one.

The master and servant laughed heartily, talked with candles and nights, and talked about wine and joy.

Besides, Xu Tingfu, after seeing the palace maid come out, he hurriedly walked in, but was stopped, "Father-in-law, please go back, Niangniang copied the Buddhist scriptures, and no one was seen." ”

"What?" Xu Tingfu couldn't believe his ears, in order to know His Majesty's whereabouts, the queen never refused him for no reason, this time Yuan Ziyan's news must have also reached the queen's ears, it could have been a unified alliance, but the queen turned him away, what did he mean?

The spring is warm to the earth, and most of the thick snow under the previous year has melted, Xu Tingfu stepped on the cold snow water without even noticing, and he has been thinking about a humble question in his heart, that is, how to offend the noble master again.
