But there was no trace of his mother as far as the eye could see, although Sheng Linsheng and Yan Zi searched together and there was no whereabouts, so they had no choice but to give up. After all, the morning sun is about to rise, and the major affairs of the government have to be handled by themselves, so they have to give up looking for it.

But this kind of giving up is too painful, and it is a little desperate. Yan Ziyi looked at Sheng Linsheng reluctantly, hoping that he could stay and continue to search, Sheng Linsheng also understood what she meant, and took the initiative to ask to stay and look for a while.

Yan Zi left with peace of mind.

Last night's bloody wind and rain had long been like a bloody sun, this dazzling and dazzling sunlight was like a sharp sword viciously piercing the clouds and reaching the palace, shining up and down the palace.

Many officials are already sweating profusely after just walking for a while, perhaps the heavens are angry and have lost their temper, or it may be that summer has arrived. But no matter what, it was really hot and sweaty.

On the contrary, this palace hall, yesterday's bloody wind and rain created today's desertion, and the lack of official positions in the imperial court is serious. If you are in a high position, you can see it at a glance, and you can even count how many people there are, and you can't help but feel sad about this scene. This is simply a joke, sarcasm, a great irony, although he is not wise, but he is not confused, how can he raise such a person underneath, it is really ironic, is God implying that she can't be an empress.

No, even if it were providential, she would never believe in heaven. Yan Zi smiled coldly, his eyes as firm as iron.

"It's been a few months since I ascended the throne, and before I know it, it's dog days, the weather is a little hot, and it's a little difficult for the ministers to wear such heavy court clothes to go to court. It just so happens that there are still a lot of official positions in the cultural relics, and I will conduct talent selection in the next few days, and then I will order to make new court clothes in a unified manner, so that Zhong Aiqing will no longer have to wear heavy clothes to the court. ”

Want to recruit new talent? The courtiers were a little curious, and did not know how Her Majesty planned to select the Empress, but they were embarrassed to discuss it, after all, they were afraid. Although the situation of yesterday's bloodbath in the palace is unknown, it is enough to imagine how cruel it was that day.

So in order to save their lives, none of the courtiers dared to speak, and the empress could do whatever she wanted.

As a result, the huge talent selection conference was in full swing. This time, the holy decree was signed to recruit female officials, not only because the empress wanted to improve the dignity of women, but also because she was afraid that men would be ambitious and difficult to control. And women have been influenced by the three obedience and four virtues since childhood, so in Yan Zi's opinion, recruiting female officials is more reliable.

When the decree was issued, it caused an uproar throughout the country, and many women were eager to try it, and many people thought it was ridiculous. But since the empress ascended the throne, many seemingly absurd things have been carried out so well, so people have mixed opinions about this woman's official matter.

In the theater garden, the storyteller tells the story of the legendary witch and then tells it.

"That witch is a spear and a horse to kill all directions, and now she is even more oppressive of human beings in a different way, wanting to unify the Three Realms and play with everything in applause. Especially for the old lover in the past, he was even more merciless, and ruthlessly picked him off the horse and bullied him. It is rumored that the witch wins the world, but the witch is treacherous and difficult to get close, and it is difficult to get even a kiss. Whoever gets the witch's kiss is considered a powerful person......"

Mr. Storyteller said with relish, and the people below listened to it with relish, and some people suddenly thought of Yan Zi, the empress of the dynasty. She used to marry Chaoheng Kingdom, and recently Chaoheng provoked the eldest prince Meng Ao so ruthlessly, as well as the childhood sweetheart General Sheng, the two have a close relationship but have never heard of anything about men and women. Who does she really like, or doesn't like any of them?

Thinking about it like this, the empress is really cold, whoever can get her kiss is fortunate for three lives, those who think they are unruly but want to conquer the world must want to get close to the empress to get a kiss from her, and then announce to the world that this woman was conquered by him. It's a pity that it's just a casual thought, after all, the palace can't enter at all.

Even those male concubines, especially the most noble imperial husband Shangguan Jinzhong, couldn't get close to the empress, let alone others, thinking of this, those romantic talents couldn't help but shake their heads and frown to express regret.

The talent selection conference is still in progress, and these romantic talents think that since they can't get close to the empress, it's good to go and see it from afar. So they went to watch the selection meeting together, and this time Yan Zi personally sat in the selection.

The people who came over were all women, well, they can only be said to be women, because it is really difficult to see their old and young, beautiful, ugly, fat and thin, and they can only use a woman to summarize the talents of the campaign.

Some of the people who came over were old women in their seventies and eighties, and when they asked what they would do, they only talked about laundry and cooking. There was a lot of laughter below, many people laughed so hard that they couldn't straighten their waists, Yan Zi also had a cold face and didn't want to ask any more, so he waved his hand and motioned for someone to invite the old woman down.

Of course, in addition to these things that are not very interesting, some of them are okay, a woman who came up is well-proportioned, her words and deeds reveal her identity as a rich lady.

It's not disgraceful to this reputation, after all, it's decent, but if the bones of this body are weaker, I coughed before I opened my mouth. When asked about his personal situation, he coughed three times a sentence, and basically couldn't hear what he was talking about.

Although the selection of talents can be selected as long as they are talented, they don't pay attention to their health, but this is too weak. Accidentally tired of what to do in the post, Yan Zi couldn't accept such a person as an official, so he had to politely order him to step down.

The woman leaned over and retreated weakly, worried that she would faint halfway, so she ordered the guards to follow and support.

But fortunately, after the joke, there are still some serious people who appear, and they come to battle in armor, and they are menacing, but they have the demeanor of some heroines. Yan Zi was very curious about what kind of women practiced martial arts in this world, but when he raised his eyes and looked carefully, he realized that it was actually Liuzhu.

"Liuzhu, what are you doing here!" Yan Zi was a little angry, frowning, feeling that this Liuzhu was joking with himself again.

But then she answered in a very serious and serious voice: "Your Majesty, although the people are powerless, they firmly believe that if you study hard, you will be able to serve the country in time." ”

The other party replied very seriously, but in Yan Zi's opinion, it was always a joke, how could a girl who served people have such ambition to serve the country, which seemed to be inconsistent with her identity "Why, why do you have this idea?" There are many ways to serve the country, you can also run for a civilian position, why do you suddenly want to be a military general? ”

Liuzhu had already guessed that Yan Zi would ask such a question, and she had already thought about it on the way here, "The folk girl was also a little girl, and she didn't think about doing anything big." But these days in the general's mansion, I have heard a lot of words about serving the country, and suddenly I am full of ambition, but at that time, I never believed that I was real, and I always felt that it was my own whim. But when His Majesty asked the people to protect his wife that day, he realized how useful it was to practice martial arts, which could not only serve the country but also protect himself. His Majesty has always been the most respected person for the people's daughters, think about Your Majesty, a woman can be in charge of the mountains and rivers, and the people's daughters are also women, why can't they do some men's things. ”

"Good, very good!" Liuzhu's words really went to Yan Zi's heart, Yan Zi was a little excited, couldn't help but stand up and applaud her, and then quickly selected her into the ranks of military attachés.

"Next!" Command the next candidate to play.

But then the people who came up before they could open their mouths caused a burst of laughter from the audience, and then there were all kinds of mentality to watch the excitement, Yan Zi was very curious about what big people came.

looked up and saw that it was a man, and this man was none other than Bai Jikao. Today, he is a suave and talented man, rather than the sloppy storyteller of the past.

Every time this guy appears, he gives people a funny appearance, just like now he is obviously recruiting female officials, but he comes to join in the fun, what is this going on.

Yan Zi couldn't help laughing, "Haha, Bai Gongzi hasn't seen him for a long time, but he is still talking?" ”

Bai Jikao shook his head, "No, I will occasionally get bored after talking for a long time, not to mention that the grass people feel that being an official is more promising." I don't know if Your Majesty is willing to accept it? ”

"Oh? Listening to Childe's tone, it seems to be full of confidence, but I am recruiting a female official, is Childe's appearance now hinting at something? Yan Zi unceremoniously looked at Bai Jikao with a sneering look.

Bai Jikao smiled slightly, ignored her ridicule, and still stood calmly in front of everyone, "The grass people feel that Your Majesty's holy decree is not written correctly, I don't know if Your Majesty has the courage to allow the grass people to point it out?" ”

Everyone was shocked when they heard it, it was just a Mr. Say, who was in the garden, why did he point out the shortcomings of the empress in public so arrogantly, he didn't know that this move was likely to lead to death. Whether they were tired of living or bent on dying, everyone tilted their heads and squinted their ears to look at this madman-like scholar curiously.

Yan Zi glanced at everyone, it seemed that they were more curious than they wanted to know what Bai Jikao would say, and even if they were in a good mood today, they would be satisfied.

"Then tell me, what did I do wrong?"

Bai Jikao smiled slightly, walked unceremoniously in front of the imperial list, tore it off, put it directly in front of Yan Zi, and pointed to the female official and explained, "This is not right." Your Majesty's words seem to be discriminating against men, is Your Majesty also going the same way as the previous dynasty? The grass people also thought that His Majesty ascended the throne as the emperor and tried to change the status of men and women to achieve the effect of equality between men and women, but today it seems that they just want to change their identities and enjoy the perverted desire of captive men. And these desires are irrational, and they are no different from the old system of the previous dynasty. His Majesty's own father once advocated changing the law, and His Majesty's move was not a change in the law at all, but a restoration of the old. The grass people felt that this move was heartbreaking, and it was not conducive to His Majesty's control of the mountains and rivers. ”
