() In his heart, there is no one more fit for the mother of this country than Bai Rong.

And who doesn't want it except Bai Rong.

However, he knew that even if he said it, Bai Rong would insist on his opinion, and in order to respect her, Gu Ziyuan didn't say anything more.

The next day, above the court.

"I went back to talk to Rong'er yesterday, and she agrees with you. Since this is the case, then I will take a step back and give Bai Rong the title of a first-class female concubine. Gu Ziyuan said by retreating.

He knew that if he wanted to follow his previous thoughts, he was afraid that none of these courtiers would agree. The imperial court had just experienced great turmoil and turmoil, and he did not want to cause any more disputes.

Retreating to the next best thing is his final bottom line.

A first-class female lady? The ministers secretly exchanged glances, and some people stood up against it: "Your Majesty, this is absolutely impossible, Bai Rong is a female generation, and she is not worthy of a big responsibility." ”

Under Gu Ziyuan's cold gaze, the courtier slowly suppressed his voice, he looked around, hoping that a colleague would stand up to help him, but those old slippery heads lowered their heads one by one, pretending to be fine.

The courtiers were helpless and resentful, and had to bear Gu Ziyuan's anger alone.

"You say that she is a woman who is not worthy of a big responsibility, then I have a question, she has saved me from fire and water three times or four times, is this a big responsibility? Where were you when I was killed? ”

I could only hear Gu Ziyuan's majestic voice coming from above, almost shattering his eardrums.

The courtier trembled, but still insisted on his own point of view: "Your Majesty, it is good that she saved you, but this can only prove that Bai Rong has the courage of a reckless man, and what the position of Taifu needs is profound knowledge and extraordinary wisdom." ”

Nonsense. Gu Ziyuan glared at the courtiers angrily, and looked at the courtiers stubbornly and knelt on the ground.

Standing on one side, Bai Rong watched Gu Ziyuan quarrel with a group of courtiers for herself, and her heart was moved, she took a step and faced the courtiers: "If you don't obey me, then rely on real skills to defeat me, let's compete for knowledge, if I lose to any of you, I won't be this female master." ”

"Is that true?" Hearing Bai Rong's words, the courtiers' eyes lit up, and they all rubbed their hands, if it weren't for the Golden Palace, they would have pulled Bai Rong to start the competition.

For the sake of the majesty and unification of the imperial court, they are bound to win over Bai Rong.

Bai Rong bowed slightly, and smiled calmly: "That's natural, the gentleman is quick to speak, but if I win, what do I say?" ”

"Then we have no objection to you being a lady." The courtiers said in unison.

Bai Rong faced Gu Ziyuan and said with a half-salute: "

Your Majesty is invited to testify. ”

And where everyone couldn't see it, Bai Rong smiled slyly, nodded at him, and silently lip-synched: "Trust me." ”

The tacit understanding for a long time made Gu Ziyuan choose to believe in Bai Rong, and he also agreed to be a witness to this competition.

"The old minister will come first to learn." The first to challenge Bai Rong was an old courtier, his gray beard, rickety figure, and shriveled face were all inlaid with traces left by the years.

"He Lao is out of the horse, there will be no room for arrogance." The courtiers were elated and summoned the identity of He Lao.

The personal eunuch whispered in Gu Ziyuan's ear: "He Lao is the last eunuch, and he is also the most respected old gentleman in the capital, with three thousand peach and plum under his door. ”

The eunuch was worried, could Bai Rong handle such a character?

And Gu Ziyuan looked at Bai Rong confidently, he believed that she could.

It's just that he still clenched his fists, he regretted that he couldn't protect Bai Rong well, and asked her to face these old slippery heads.

But Bai Rong was still calm and relaxed, and He Lao sighed when he saw it: "You have a good heart, you can come to my school to listen to the class in the future." ”

"Thank you, old man, for your affirmation." In this regard, Bai Rong just smiled indifferently.

"Please ask for the question." Bai Rong gave up his hand and gave the initiative to He Lao.

He Lao let out a sigh of relief and asked in a deep voice: "Now that the new dynasty is undecided, the country is in ruins, and the first emperor loves luxury, resulting in a serious deficit in the treasury, three consecutive years of drought and flooding, there is no harvest in the Jiangbei region, and the military salary is about to be paid, and the household department only has 53.6 million snowflake silver, how to deal with it?" ”

Every word, as if they were accusing Gu Ziyuan of still messing around at a dangerous moment in this country, He Lao finally glanced at Gu Ziyuan's gaze, full of disappointment.

I saw Bai Rong replied leisurely: "The solution is very simple, one is open source, the other is to reduce expenditure, and this open source is ......"

When Bai Rong finished speaking, he was dumbfounded. Modern advanced ideas are like nails that have been nailed into the tongues of this group of ancient scholars, so that they cannot find words to refute them.

"As an official or a minister, how can it be so simple, how to deal with corruption?" He Lao's eyes changed as he looked at Bai Rong.

Bai Rong brought out the iron-blooded methods of the leaders of the country in later generations, and he trembled when he said it.

His sunken eyeballs stared at Bai Rong tightly, and after a while, he clapped his hands violently and said, "It's the old minister who lost." ”

Towards Gu Ziyuan, Bai Rong showed a bright smile.

Then there are the courtiers to pick

War, whether it is military, agriculture or other aspects, are all solved by her use of her own wisdom and knowledge, although everyone is unhappy, but there is no denying Bai Rong's excellence.

Thirteen people, none of them can beat Bai Rong by half a point.

On that day, the court meeting ended, and the canonization decree came immediately, and Bai Rong became the first-class lady of the dynasty.

Gu Ziyuan specially instructed the imperial dining room to prepare delicious food and wine, and the two of them talked happily, Bai Rong looked at the table full of dishes, and spit out the truth after drinking: "Although it looks good, I feel that I used to be happy." ”

Holding her body stiffened slightly, Gu Ziyuan couldn't help but smile bitterly. It was because of him that Bai Rong was trapped in this magnificent palace.

Since then, Bai Rong has participated in every court meeting, put forward a lot of suggestions that benefit the people, and even discussed with Gu Ziyuan, at the court meeting, he proposed to establish a school so that all children can go to school.

"The youth is strong, the country is strong, I don't know how many good seedlings are among the children who can't afford to go to school, I believe that there are also poor students among the adults, you were despised because you couldn't afford to go to school, and now, please don't let these tragedies repeat themselves in the children." Bai Rong's generous speech won the support of most of the courtiers.

The plan to establish a school has also officially kicked off.

In order to ensure the better establishment of the school, Bai Rong personally presided over the construction and decoration of the school, she introduced the teaching procedures and educational concepts of later generations, and held classes in the school according to the timetable of later schools, and the content of the classes was rearranged according to the items of the imperial examination.

This incident reached the ears of the people, and the people were very grateful to Bai Rong. The rich are only a minority, and the poor people who can hardly support their children to go to school are the majority.

"Bai Rong is a living bodhisattva, a living bodhisattva." For a time, all the people praised were Bai Rong's merits and kindness.

"Our family will always provide for Bai Rong, and my mother has set up an immortal lamp for her in the temple."

When Bai Rong heard about this, she was a little shy, after all, she was a human being, not a god, and she just built a school, where was it worth people to do this for her, and she wanted people to stop her, but she was stopped by Gu Ziyuan.

In Gu Ziyuan's opinion, these are all deserved by Bai Rong, because a school for the poor has saved many lives of poor people.

This is not only an opportunity for them to learn, but also an opportunity to choose their future life.

"If you don't let it, it is estimated that many people will not be able to sleep at night."
