Chapter 107: A Woman Becomes an Official
No one dared to mention this matter again, a Yuan Ziyan has a strange skill, which is not something that ordinary people can provoke. In addition, Yang Guang was difficult to give up with Yuan Ziyan, and even regardless of the queen's face, the queen accepted her fate, who else would touch this mold?
Yuan Ziyan seemed to be a wayward child who had made a mistake, walking behind Yang Guang with his head down, Yang Guang's figure was slightly rickety, and his steps seemed a little staggering, more like a dying old man, which was sad.
Both of them thought about their own thoughts, and did not speak for a long time.
"That, big brother, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have been cruel to you." Yuan Ziyan rarely said something first.
Yang Guang stopped, looked back, and looked straight at Yuan Ziyan, in fact, he couldn't tell what kind of feelings he had for her, friend? Daughter?
It seems that it is all and it is not, Yang Guang only feels very relieved to have Yuan Ziyan by his side. This words and deeds are a little strange, he is clever in encounters with things, and occasionally makes a little reckless Yuan Ziyan, but it makes Yang Guang feel an inexplicable family affection, which makes him feel very warm.
In the palace, intrigues, deceit, life and death, it is rare to have this honesty.
"Ziyan, if you leave at this time, who will take medicine for me when I get sick in the future?" Yang Guang smiled miserably.
"Big brother, it's not that I have to say something that makes you sad. I didn't want to stay here at the beginning, it was you who said that I could find a chance to read group books, but I stayed here, although I read a few more books, but I almost lost my life a few times, if I knew that this was the end, I might as well leave the palace at that time, and the book can be read anywhere, but life is not said to be preserved......"
"Ziyan, I'm thinking about these questions." Yang Guang interrupted Yuan Ziyan's words, Yuan Ziyan thought that Yang Guang would let him leave the palace, but he didn't expect him to say: "The reason why you are suppressed by others is because you have no identity. There is a strict hierarchy in the palace, although there are people who are convinced of your talent, but it is always difficult to respect it from the heart. ”
No way? Yuan Ziyan's eyes widened, could it be that Yang Guang wanted to make himself a concubine? Yang Guang could guess what she was thinking when he saw Yuan Ziyan's stupid appearance, and showed a helpless smile: "If you move like this, you will have a dispute with the queen, if you want to be included in the back court, I am afraid that there will be no peace in the back court, so even if you cry and shout that I will accept you, I may not be able to agree!" ”
Hey, ha, haha, really, Yuan Ziyan was amused by Yang Guang, and Yang Guang rarely showed a smile when he saw his long-lost smiling face.
"Big brother, I'm here, except for my dad, you are the best for me! If I go back one day, I will remember you and say as many good things about you as I can. Yuan Ziyan couldn't help but stepped forward and held Yang Guang's arm affectionately.
"Ziyan, I didn't think about it before, and I just wanted to keep you by my side, but I ignored your embarrassing situation. I thought that if you were given a suitable official position and not controlled by the back court, of course those minions would not dare to bully you at will. Naturally, including the queen and concubines, they will also give you three points. ”
What the? Yuan Ziyan's head buzzed loudly, it did sound like a pie in the sky, and in the contemporary civil service examination, you have to squeeze your head, let alone become an official. But at the same time, I feel very thunderous, women are officials, this proportion is not very large in contemporary times, and you have to climb up one level at a time, and the speed is slower than that of a snail. I didn't expect the ancient Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty to be so trendy in his thinking, and he took the initiative to think of letting women be officials!
Yuan Ziyan really doesn't know whether to be happy or worried, to be honest, there are more elements of excitement, although he is very confused, but he is very curious and fresh, well, it is very fun!
Yuan Ziyan originally wanted to excuse herself, but the words came out of her mouth and immediately changed her taste: "Hehe, big brother, what kind of official do you want to seal me?" ”
"Tai Shiling, what do you think?" Yang Guang said without thinking, he must have planned for this matter for a long time.
"Tai Shi Ling?" Sounding quite high-end and high-grade, Yuan Ziyan's eyes were full of little stars, and he asked, "What kind of official is this?" ”
"Reign over the heavens, calculate the calendar, and predict divination!"
Well? Isn't this the work of Qin Tianjian? Yuan Ziyan was a little disappointed, it didn't seem to be a particularly important position, and it sounded like he was not doing his job properly, specializing in superstitious things.
"Are there any other official positions, such as chief of staff or something?" Yuan Ziyan couldn't help bargaining, Yang Guang felt amused, and said angrily: "During the Zhou and Qin dynasties, the monarch relied on the gods a lot, so Taishi Ling's position was high in the third grade, and after many years, it was demoted to the fourth grade. I think that people will win the sky, so I am a little negligent about this, and Taishi Ling is a subordinate to the fifth grade. ”
"It's only from the fifth grade?"
"You are a woman, whether you can say that you can move the ministers I don't know, why do you still pick fat and thin?" Yang Guang couldn't laugh or cry.
"It's not just a matter of what you said, big brother!" Yuan Ziyan couldn't help but be coquettish.
Hehe, Yang Guang smiled but didn't answer, it seems that Yuan Ziyan is still looking forward to this position. Maybe go to the court tomorrow and mention this matter to see how the ministers react.
Yang Guang tried hard not to think about the future fortunes of his sons, and took double the medicinal powder as usual at night, and when he woke up in the morning, he looked ruddy and energetic, as if nothing had happened yesterday.
Yuan Ziyan also got up very early, and he cleaned up his life, feeling a little excited, maybe after today, he can become an official of the Sui Dynasty, roaring, it's very happy to think about it!
Yang Guanglong sat down on the chair, long live the civil and military Baiguan Mountain, and the mountains and rivers were shaken, why didn't he realize it before?
As usual, Yuan Ziyan waited patiently to discuss some national affairs, and finally Yang Guang spoke: "In recent years, the state affairs have been complicated, and there are thousands of situations, since I ascended the throne, I have been neglecting the reconstruction of the eunuch. And the position of Taishi Ling has been vacant, I don't know if you have any suitable candidates? ”
After Yang Guang finished speaking, the ministers exchanged heads and talked about each other, Taishi Jian was also valued in the previous dynasties, but Yang Guang has always been an emperor who does not believe in evil, and he does not believe in fate, which has caused Taishi Jian to be ignored and finally depressed.
Everyone thought that this profession was mostly going to be abolished, so no one mentioned it, but I didn't expect Yang Guang to talk about it again today, is it because he is getting older and has become a little unconfident?
Besides, this kind of official from the fifth grade can naturally be recommended by the ministry, of course, there is no need to be handpicked by the emperor, which shows that Yang Guang attaches great importance to this matter.
The ancients were very superstitious, and most of the ministers supported Yang Guang's decision, and the minister Pei Ju came out and said: "Your Majesty, Taifu Shaoqing Xiao Ji, erudite and talented, fine yin and yang, calendar, and health preservation skills, can take on this role." ”
Xiao Ji is very familiar with this person Yang Guang, tracing the roots of Shuoyuan, it was this person who leaked the heavenly opportunity and felt that Yang Guang had the appearance of an emperor, which made Yang Guang make up his mind to squeeze the prince and ascend to the throne.
In a sense, Xiao Ji is also Yang Guang's nobleman, but the emperor has a problem, the old accounts before are not willing to be mentioned, and of course he doesn't want Xiao Ji to dangle under his nose all day long, waving his hand and saying: "Now that Xiao Ji is concentrating on medicine, I am afraid that the way of mathematics is going to be wasted, and his official residence is the fourth grade, how can he be demoted for no reason and hold this position?" ”
"What Your Majesty said is extremely true, but the Taishi Eunuch has been extraordinary in the past dynasties, and the minister suggests that it is better to restore the post of Taishi Ling to the three products of the Zhou Dynasty." Pei Ju suggested.
All right! Yuan Ziyan's eyes lit up, and he was in the third grade, that was the boss's official, and hurriedly looked at Yang Guang. Yang Guang frowned, and he rose several levels at once, didn't he slap his mouth, shouldn't he have neglected this position in the first place?
"Pei Qing is reasonable, this matter is not urgent, and it will be discussed again." Yang Guang politely refused.
Yu Shiji is the best at observing words and feelings, before entering the palace, he also heard that Yuan Tiangang had talked with the emperor for a long time, and Yuan Tiangang's daughter Yuan Ziyan was deeply favored by His Majesty, and he had a flash of inspiration, and stepped forward confidently and said: "Your Majesty, the minister is responsible for raising a person, this person is proficient in yin and yang techniques, knows astronomy and geography, and is generous, so he can take on this responsibility." ”
Oh? There are still such people in the world, Yang Guang couldn't help asking: "Yu Qing, let's talk about it." ”
"The salt official ordered Yuan Tiangang and Lord Yuan."
Uh, Yuan Ziyan choked for a while, it turned out to be his father! Hey, you can't compete with Yuan Tiangang with anyone, and he is indeed suitable for this position, Yuan Ziyan is a little discouraged.
But Yang Guang vetoed it as usual, and said: "Yuan Tianshi is a master outside the world, and he is dedicated to cultivating to become an immortal, and he has rarely asked about worldly things. It is difficult for a gentleman to be strong, so how can I force Yuan Tianshi? ”
Everyone was stunned for a while, Pei Ju and Yu Shiji are both important ministers, and this matter is not a major event related to the fortunes of the country, Yang Guang rejected the two ministers one after another, what does it mean?
They are all extremely smart people, and after a little thought, they seem to understand, oh, it should be that the emperor has his own suitable candidate?
Inconsequential positions, what is there for the emperor to twist, he said it directly, who can object? Yu Wenhua stepped forward and asked, "But Your Majesty has a suitable candidate?" ”
Yang Guang also did not say directly, "We still need everyone to brainstorm." This position is not big, but it is not small, and the slightest carelessness will shake people's hearts. Therefore, those who take on the role of Taishi Commander need to be reliable and trustworthy, and loyal to me. ”
That's the person around the emperor? Most of the people above the court meet these two conditions, but no one wants to do this errand.
So who is this person Yang Guang is alluding to?
Ahem, at this time, Yuan Ziyan beside Yang Guang coughed twice, and everyone frowned slightly, secretly complaining that she relied on the emperor's favor and lacked many courtesies.
But when everyone's eyes converged on Yuan Ziyan, they all showed surprised expressions, and then there was a whisper, the person the emperor was referring to was not Yuan Ziyan!
First of all, Yuan Ziyan is Yuan Tiangang's beloved daughter, influenced by her father, and has also studied the science of mathematics.
However, can there be a woman in office? Isn't this too unbelievable?
