The garden is quiet, there are still a few shallow water marks of birds on the ashyl stairs, the guards and the inner supervisor stand at the gate of the garden, and only the two of them are mottled on the bluestone path.

After a moment of silence, she couldn't help but ask, "What does Your Highness want to explain to her courtiers?" ”

Xiao Yan stopped at this time, and his eyes moved away from the branches of the trees, "You can think about it, there are still many uses for the gold mounting, you can ask for a good family affair for yourself, you can ask Your Majesty to give you the title of county lord, you can promise you one hundred and two thousand taels of gold, and even, you want the descendants of the Xue family to inherit the shade." ”

She lowered her eyes and laughed, and then then removed the smile, "What Your Highness just said is indeed very moving. There are thousands of women in Daqi, but there are few people who can enjoy honor and blessings for a lifetime. Now that I have this imperial book in my hand, I can naturally ask for it lightly, but I just want to provoke the big beam in the remote and barren Pingcheng. ”

Turning sideways, she looked at the steaming blue sky, and said lightly, "Your Highness, the heart of the courtiers can be smaller than the chestnut of the sea, or it can be bigger than the boundless sky. What the father wants is what the courtiers want, and there is nothing else to think about. ”

She said this in a very official tone, he thought that she was full of surprise, she would be a proud person, clear and turbid, think about everything by herself, and not tolerate the slightest difference. Unexpectedly, she also knows how to be a little tactful, and knows what to say and what not to say.

He carefully read the thin scroll that was submitted, and most of the things she said about Pingcheng were accumulated diseases over the years, and it was difficult to treat them in small ways, and the big punishments made people panic. It's working, but it's still too radical.

Xiao Yan had to remind her, "Officialdom is not as simple as you imagined, with ups and downs, and it takes people to experience it after several years." You have the knowledge, you have the ideas, and you have the courage to do it, but when you move these things to the table, it doesn't necessarily go smoothly. What's more, as a woman, you are in charge of politics, and I am afraid that there will be a lot of resistance in the local area. Have you ever thought about what I said? ”

She always looked at his eyes, like inky black, and like the sinking of the abyss. The black pure clothes were worn on him, and the majesty was even more impressive, and the bearing of the prince of the heavenly family was natural.

Jing Ning bowed, "The courtiers understand, His Royal Highness is here today to knock a mallet on the courtiers." ”

His mind was sharp, and he could understand the meaning of his words at once. It is true that he is warning her that what she is asking for may not be the fire tree and silver flowers, but it may also be stormy.

"It's too late for you to give up now." It was the last chance he gave.

She raised the corners of her lips, shook her head decisively, and took his words almost without hesitation, "Your Highness is compassionate, and the courtiers are grateful to you." Your Highness just said, and the courtiers should also write it down. It's just that taking over Heijo is the only thing that the courtiers and their father want to exchange for the imperial book. If His Majesty and His Royal Highness can agree, the courtiers dare to say that no matter what the future of Pingcheng is, at least it will not be worse than now. ”

Xiao Yan narrowed her eyes, paced slowly closer, her body was slightly sluggish, she took a few steps back but was still surrounded by his breath, so she had to settle down, and watched him lean over in a daze, then turned sideways, covered her left ear and murmured, "Xue Jingning, I gave you a choice, you are paranoid about your original intention." Well, so what's the matter if I grant what you ask? The land of Pingcheng, no matter how bad it is, is not as good as it was three years ago, and I will see how you will use those best strategies on your thin scroll. ”

He stepped back to look at her, "Although you are in mourning now, you should not be an official, but the court has its own special method. It's just that you should still have advance in this matter, do you dare to make an appointment with me for three chapters? ”

There is still a warm breath in the ears, like a scene of intimacy between lovers. She was not often in such close contact with men, and she was instinctively stunned for a while, and finally calmed down when she heard him talk about the third chapter of the law, and asked, "What are the conditions of Your Highness?" ”

"I'll give you a year." "In a year's time, I'm going to see at least three points of results, and at least no regression in any way." As long as you can do both, you will be able to continue to govern. Otherwise, not only will I remove you from your position, but I will also have to punish you for retribution. ”

He said with a straight face, and there was no room for negotiation. Do it well, benefit the people, and glorify the lintel, but if you don't do it well, you can't reveal it in a few words.

Women's participation in politics is not a rule, and if she dares to bear the brunt, the consequences she may suffer will naturally increase exponentially. In this regard, he has to take into account all aspects, and he will certainly not make the slightest concession.

"Okay." Xue Jingning nodded and waved at him, "What His Highness said, all the courtiers have responded, if he really violates the contract in the future, His Highness can only punish the courtiers heavily, and the courtiers will definitely not have any complaints." ”

He looked at her closely, his dark eyes darkening. This woman really wasn't afraid, she said so much, she didn't know whether she really took it to heart, or didn't care much when she heard it. But no matter what, he had to admit that he had repeatedly discouraged the vigilance, but he was also affected by those few twists.

There has never been a woman who can make him feel broken, but she Xue Jingning has done it. He stared at it, for some reason, her indifferent posture made him uncomfortable, and after a while, he flicked his sleeves and turned around and walked back, throwing down a cold sentence, "Don't follow up quickly." ”
