Chapter 950: Retirement
If a country is about to fall and still keeps some rules, it is a fool! I believe that you are not a pedantic person, Lord Zhang......"
Chu Xingze bombarded Lord Zhang, and what he said made sense. Lord Zhang couldn't find a reason to refute at all, but was sarcastically ridiculed by the emperor, and the old face of Lord Zhang didn't know where to put it on hold.
An Lan covered his mouth there and wanted to laugh, this adult was simply asking for hardship, and he dared to argue with Chu Xingze.
The ministers next to him blushed and didn't dare to speak, obviously they were not Chu Xingze's opponents. Lord Zhang was defeated, not to mention those who were stupid and not as good as Master Zhang.
"Okay, Master Zhang, go back quickly, take care of your little concubines, and then take care of my family affairs. Besides, you can't even handle the affairs of the court, and you still want to take care of these idle things, isn't it superfluous?
Whoever dares to say that the queen is not half a word, will automatically resign in the future, I am confident that I can manage the whole country well if I leave you, your existence is just the icing on the cake, and there are many people who are more talented than you. In the future, I will hold a better imperial examination system, select more elite talents, and contribute to the development of the country!" Chu Xingze talked about his plans.
The minister hurriedly complimented Chu Xingze, but Chu Xingze simply nodded.
He knew that these people couldn't get used to the things An Lan did, because An Lan changed the rules of the harem, which had been handed down for many years, and many people couldn't accept it all at once.
But he and An Lan have already made up their minds to not only change the rules of the harem, but also the situation of the entire country in the future, and they are bound to accept it.
"Since I'm here, I have something to discuss with you. I feel that any minister who is over fifty years old is considered to be old and frail, and when it is time to retire, if they are allowed to continue to stay in the court, they may be left with pedantic thoughts, which is really undesirable.
But sometimes these ministers are the pillars of the country, so I came up with a foolproof plan, which was also the first to come up with the queen. The queen said that she would have to take the exam every year in the future, not only the young ministers needed to take the exam, but even those who were older had to take the exam. But if they can't pass the exam, or if they don't have enough energy, I will let them resign voluntarily......"
Chu Xingze deliberately mentioned An Lan's name, and these ministers trembled with fright, because they had never heard of such a rule.
Although many of them are over fifty years old, they are definitely full of energy.
Now that they hear the news, they have reached the point where everyone is in danger, and if they can't be screened out in the assessment, it will be a loss for adults.
"So I decided to conduct the first assessment in three days, and the adults told their colleagues to prepare well, and those who couldn't pass would let them take the initiative to return to their hometowns. Ladies and gentlemen, please take a moment. ”
As soon as Chu Xingze said this, these adults immediately wiped the beads of sweat on their foreheads, and their breathing became short, and then they hurriedly said goodbye and went back to prepare.
Seeing their backs leaving, Chu Xingze and An Lan laughed happily.
"Ma'am, did you see that? These men are like defeated roosters just now, if anyone bullies you, I will definitely make them unable to eat and walk around, what you say is more effective than the holy decree. Chu Xingze held An Lan's hand, put it beside him and kissed it.
He is not too keen on being the emperor in his life, in other words, if he has a choice, he will not be the emperor, he just wants to take An Lan to the mountains and rivers.
Although he can't travel in Anlan now, he will also let Anlan do what he wants to do as much as he wants, and he will not have any restrictions on her.
Seeing An Lan's happy smile every day, he will feel that this is a great happiness.
"Your Majesty, you are too good to me!" An Lan couldn't help but lean into Chu Xingze's arms.
"You are my wife, of course I have to treat you well, we are going to be together for the rest of our lives." Chu Xingze didn't feel anything at all, he quickly asked the girl to bring up the things he had prepared.
Seeing the gift from Chu Xingze, An Lan was taken aback, because what he gave him was a very luxurious and magnificent dress, which was inlaid with many gemstones, shining under the refraction of the sun.
If it is lit up at night, it will be the center of everyone's eyes.
"This dress is so beautiful, especially the peacock feathers on it, and the rhinestone inlay, it is really ingenious......," An Lan sighed.
If you wear it at night, it will shine brightly and echo the stars in the sky. You can imagine what a wonderful picture this is!
"Why did the emperor give me this dress?" An Lan was a little confused.
"Because tonight I want you to wear this dress to the banquet, so that all those celebrities and daughters will envy you." Chu Xingze did not hesitate to say what he meant.
He just wants to make An Lan shine forever and make women all over the world envy her.
An Lan was amused by Chu Xingze, although she didn't like to be public, but since Chu Xingze wanted to make herself public, then she would be more public.
An Lan tried on the clothes, just the same size as hers. After all, this is specially tailored by Chu Xingze according to her size, which is naturally very suitable.
Chu Xingze was intimate with An Lan here for a while, he went to deal with the twists and turns, and An Lan walked around the palace unscrupulously.
In the evening, Chu Xingze and An Lan attended the banquet together, and An Lan's whole person behaved very chic and free, which was completely different from before. Chu Xingze is even more fond of An Lan to the extreme, which has aroused the envy of many daughters.
When it was time for the banquet to end, a young lady deliberately came to An Lan's side. Because An Lan and Chu Xingze were very close, she naturally drank with An Lan in order to get close to Chu Xingze.
"Queen Niangniang, when I saw you before, you were just the emperor's concubine, and at that time, I felt that the queen was shocked, so I wanted to have a drink with Niangniang, please Niangniang must reward me with this face."
The woman's eyes were squinted, and her mouth was a little crooked when she smiled. An Lan naturally gave her this face, picked up the cup and drank it all.
The woman pretended to want to drink, but in fact, her eyes kept looking at Chu Xingze, and then she deliberately tilted on Chu Xingze, and pretended to be drunk.
Such a move surprised Chu Xingze, and he subconsciously pushed the woman to the side.
Seeing such a scene, the others were shocked there, but they didn't expect this woman to be so bold and rely on her own good looks to seduce the emperor.
"What a bold man, he actually seduced the emperor in front of this palace, do you think that the eyes of this palace are blind? Come on, drag this woman out and take the thirty boards seriously! ”
