"How do you persuade me to reward Concubine Hua today? Whether she did anything in Meixian or not, you know best in your heart. Feng Feihan put down a chess piece and looked up and asked.

"Lord Zhao is so aggressive, that is, he has pinched the matter of Prime Minister Sima Cheng to handle the affairs of Beijing for the emperor, and the emperor will have some scruples, if he does not fulfill Concubine Hua's wish, I don't know what will happen to them."

Tang Ningnan pouted and replied, Actually, this is only one of the reasons, Feng Feihan put Concubine Hua in Meixian Prison when she was trapped in the cave, she had already learned from Duan An's mouth, and Zhao Ke naturally would not know about these things.

"What's more, if you don't block Lord Zhao's mouth, he will talk about the emperor's handling of Hua Concubine in Meixian County."

After careful discussion, Hua Concubine was not at fault, and she did bring back some of the abducted children, Feng Feihan's decision at that time was impulsive, and he regretted it afterwards, feeling that it was inappropriate for him to do so, so he ordered the people accompanying him not to discuss this matter casually.

The Sima family colluded with the Zhao family, and it was not surprising that Zhao Ke knew about this, if he was asked to say it in front of the accompanying officials, it would inevitably be said that Feng Feihan's move was inappropriate, and people who didn't care about it might attribute this matter to Tang Ningnan's fault for seducing the king.

"It's just that in this way, I have wronged you again, and it is clear that you are the one who really pays for the people of Meixian County." Feng Feihan looked at Tang Ningnan with guilt and distress in his eyes.

"There is no emperor." Tang Ningnan shook his head, "The concubine's reward has already been obtained, and it is much more precious than the title of 'Loyal and Brave Lady'. ”

Tang Ningnan looked out the window in the distance, as if she saw a beautiful country, her reward was the love of the people of Meixian County, and the innocent laughter of Xunbao and the children.

"Father, why do you always speak for the only child in the emperor who knows that Concubine Hua is the only child who attacks her." At the end of the banquet, the concubine followed Zhao Ke's footsteps and went out to the deck.

"You know what? Sending you into the palace not only didn't help me, but also sabotaged my plan again and again, your time in the palace is not long, and you are still a concubine, I think that without me, the emperor will not even give you a concubine, it is really useless. ”

Zhao Ke, who failed in his plan, was already angry, and the concubine chased him out and questioned him, which made him even more angry.

"The daughter just doesn't want her father to fuel the arrogance of the bad guys, so why did she say that she had ruined her father's plan?"

"That day of the Water Imperial Palace, don't think that I don't know that it's the letter of the wind report you went to, if not, then ......"

"Can Feng Feihan survive until now?" These words were almost spit out, but Zhao Ke immediately changed his mouth and said Tang Ningnan's name.

"The concubine Niangniang is kind and upright, and my daughter doesn't know why you always want to target Niangniang. The plan that the father said, the daughter didn't understand, there were rumors in the palace that the father and Prime Minister Sima Cheng had a lot of dealings, and the daughter didn't believe it at first, but now it seems that these are all true, what are you going to do, father? Don't be fooled! The emperor is the most taboo minister to secretly collude. ”

Zhao Ke and Sima Bin had a close relationship, and there were rumors of bad intentions in the harem, but there was no evidence.

The concubine was in the palace, so she naturally heard about it, but she didn't believe that her father would do such a rebellious thing.

"What do I do? What do you think I'm going to do? That Concubine Xiao is just a princess from Miao Jiang, and she will make some emperors who are provoked by foxes and witches like her, what you have to worry about is whether she will take the opportunity to steal the secrets of my Liang Kingdom and send them back to Miao Jiang.

Instead of talking to me in this tone here, questioning your father's covert collusion with others! If you have this kung fu, you should think about how to keep the emperor's heart. ”

After Zhao Ke finished speaking, he left angrily, leaving the concubine alone to look at his distant back, and a sour feeling rose in his heart.

At that time, my father kept saying that it was for the entire Zhao family that he sent himself to the palace, but in the final analysis, it was still profitable? Never thought about how she felt.

Do you want to compete for Feng Feihan's favor by yourself? The concubine can't do it, Xiao Guifei and the emperor are more in love than Jin Jian, and the queen is so infatuated with Feng Feihan, she can't compare with her, not to mention that she hasn't been looked down upon by the emperor since she entered the palace?

But in this way, the wish of the concubine has been fulfilled, and the wind in her heart has always been blowing towards Feng Jihan, even if there is no hope, it is good for her to be able to imagine it foolishly.

"Chunhui Hall, how did you come up with it, Huang Qi was full of praise for your proposal, and praised me for sealing a good concubine."

After a game of chess, Tang Ningnan lost as always, playing chess with Feng Feihan is always like this, Feng Feihan deliberately let her, she will be unhappy, saying that he looks down on himself, but if he doesn't let it, Tang Ningnan will definitely lose very badly, and he will always make a fuss.

So seeing that Tang Ningnan had lost, Feng Feihan immediately found a topic to talk to her, for fear that she would be angry with herself again.

"The concubines just think those children are pitiful, where do they think so much, without the emperor's consent, they add details, and the concubines think about empty talk."

This time, Tang Ningnan didn't take his breath, picked up the jerky and put it in his mouth, and explained while eating the jerky.

"Your Majesty, the concubine has a problem, I don't know if I should talk about it or not." After eating the jerky, Tang Ningnan's tone suddenly became serious, which made Feng Feihan feel a little uncomfortable, she rarely spoke to herself in this tone in private.

"It's okay, just talk about it, now it's just you and me, you can talk anything."

So Tang Ningnan opened his mouth to ask about the selection system of officials in the Liang Imperial Court, although Feng Feihan was surprised why she was suddenly interested in these things, but still patiently explained to her, in addition to the exam, the recommendation of the big official is also a way for officials.

"Does the emperor remember Xunbao?"

Feng Feihan nodded, the children they rescued from the flood were very impressed.

"Xunbao, this kid is very smart, but he hasn't really entered the school, but the concubine thinks that if he can really be taught well by Mr. Teach, he will definitely become a usable talent in the future."

Although he didn't understand what Tang Ningnan was talking about when he talked about Xunbao again, Feng Feihan must have something else important to say to himself when he skimmed Tang Ningnan, so he listened very carefully, and nodded from time to time to express his approval of Tang Ningnan.

"The concubine thinks that there are not a few children like Xunbao who are smart but have a bad family background, and the emperor just said that the method of selecting officials in Daliang is examination and recommendation, but children from poor families like Xunbao have spent a lot of money after a round of examinations in the township examination.

Moreover, the examination is so complicated, and it is unknown whether there are people operating in the dark, so if this continues, Liang Guo's really useful talents will be lost, and the rest will be all recommended by officials, which will only make the situation of secretly forming parties among officials worse. ”

Feng Feihan thought for a moment and said, "Then how do you think it's going to be solved?" Motioned for Tang Ningnan to continue.

Tang Ningnan is waiting for Feng Feihan's words, the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics, even if Feng Feihan favors her, Tang Ningnan does not dare to trespass, the more she likes it, the more she will be more concerned about these things, not to mention, she is always Miao Jiang, although she has already revealed her heart to Feng Feihan, but she still has to be a little scrupulous.

"The concubine felt that the national examination could be simplified, divided into two selection exams, and the school-age children could take the first round of exams after finishing their studies, and after passing the examination, they would develop their various skills, and then take the second round of the palace exam."

In addition to the change of the exam, Tang Ningnan also mentioned the problem of children from poor families studying, such as Xunbao's children, food and clothing are a problem, not to mention having extra money to study, so he also proposed to let Feng Feihan push the study fees of children in poor areas.

"The concubine knows that this is a lot of expenses, but in the six years since the emperor succeeded to the throne, the treasury has gradually become abundant, and the concubine thinks that it should be taken out."

"Children are the hope of the future of a country, not only the children of rich and noble families, but also the children of poor families. The current situation is that in many places, the children of the rich and noble families take the lead, but in the final analysis, whether they are poor or rich, people as an individual are essentially equal. ”

Tang Ningnan didn't know if he could understand if he could understand that the thoughts of the era she had traveled through were much more civilized than those now, but this was the inevitable trend of the development of the times.

What's more, those children of rich and noble families, knowing that they are recommended, have no worries about the future, and can really study with peace of mind, and there are only a few who are really beneficial to Liang Guo.

After all, the entire Liang country is still the majority of poor people, and the whole country cannot only be handed over to the upper class people to manage, the people at the bottom are doing the hardest and most tiring errands, and they are looked down upon for not having enough to eat, and they need to be given a life-changing path.

Feng Feihan thought about it, and he agreed with Tang Ningnan's view that "children are the future of a country", but the examination system was set by the ancestors, and it was a big expense to exempt local children from reading fees.

"Ning'er." Feng Feihan grabbed Tang Ningnan's hand, she can always bring him a lot of surprises, as a woman, she can bring these up, so that Feng Feihan looks at her with a little more appreciation.

"All the things you put forward have been listened to and thought about, but the ancestral system is in the past, and it is not something that can be changed by me alone, and it may not be possible to implement it all for a while."

Tang Ningnan shook her head, she naturally understood how difficult it was to change in such an era, not to mention that in this way, it would undoubtedly move the interests of many rich and noble families.

Many wealthy and powerless doctors and merchants will pay tribute to the officials in the capital, let them speak for their heirs in the court, and recommend them to become officials. The nature of the black-box operation is not a problem.
