The Queen Mother refused the request of the officials, and the officials did not even enter the harem, let alone see the Queen Mother.

"I am a deep palace woman and do not interfere in court affairs." The Empress Dowager asked the eunuchs to pass the word and reprimanded these officials who asked for their lives, "The first prime minister of the court has to make a decision, and you must not disobey the orders of the first emperor." ”

The officials could only cry in front of the harem gates.

But no matter how much trouble they had, the order of the first marquis was still implemented, and while sending official documents to the guards, they began to elect inspectors.

Except for those who came to cry in front of the Queen Mother's Palace, most of the other courtiers watched coldly.

"Elect an Ombudsman? It's clearly a selection to send the dead ghost! ”

"At this time, to Weidao, for Weidao, it is a soldier without a knife, and it is a thorn in the flesh."

"Who goes, who dies, who goes?"

"Have you heard? Zhu Xiangye just invited a few officials, and those officials were either sick and couldn't get out of bed the next day, or their mother was dying. ”

"I'm laughing to death."

"There's no need to cry to the Queen Mother, if you can't choose someone at that time, what can she do, it's over."

This side of the court is deserted, but the first marquis mansion is lively, there are constantly people in and out, these people are either old or young, some are alone, some of the carriages and horses are luxurious, they have entered the capital to look east and west, it is obvious that they are outsiders.

They tidied up their clothes outside the palace, took out official spies, and were invited into the palace.

In addition to those who have already entered the Houfu, there are still people on the main roads in all directions outside the capital.

The officials noticed this and soon inquired that these people were local officials, some of them were incumbents, and some were even former officials who had run away and gone into hiding during the rebellion......

"The female marquis issued a conscription order to various places, and it turns out that this selection and supervision envoy is not only selected among the court officials, as long as it is an official appointed by the imperial court, he can come to participate in the election."

"We can't look down on the six and seven-grade officials under the Yushitai Gate, but there are many things in the world."

"What's more, this time the guardian inspector has great authority."

"There will be brave men under heavy rewards, and there will be madmen under heavy profits!"

"Then it depends on whether you have a life to enjoy."

"There are always fanatics who are not afraid of death! It is not uncommon to wish to leave a name in history with your life! ”

"Oops!"

An official thought of a possibility.

"If the overseer is killed by Weidao, won't the female marquis have an excuse to use troops against Weidao?"

The officials glanced at each other, she had just finished fighting a guard, and she still dared to fight?

Of course, they know that although Weidao is not rebelling now, because of the growth of soldiers and horses, he has long lost his rules and ignores the imperial court.....

But you can't just fight, you have to take your time!

The rebels haven't been cleared yet, is she going to disrupt the world again?

At this time, the living room of the Hou Mansion was crowded with people, sitting or standing, and a green-shirted scribe was impassioned: "......... Only by disrupting can we reshape and make the world truly peaceful! ”

Most of the people in the room were as excited as him, all of them came for their own wishes, but some of them came for the future of their families, so they were a little hesitant.

"It's still a little dangerous."

Whether the matter of monitoring the defense can be made dangerous, they are also dangerous as civil officials who lead the way.

Hearing such concerns, the man who had been impassioned before laughed.

"Danger? What is danger? What is security? ”

He waved his long sleeves and turned to look at everyone.

"Hiding in the countryside, hiding in the mountains, crawling at the feet of the rebels in the city? Is it safe to live in the world? ”

"I, Zhang Jing, a dignified seven-foot man, have lived enough like this!"

But this did not convince some people to sneer in places where they could not see clearly, "I don't feel like I've lived enough until now", "It's not easy to crawl at the feet of the rebels for so many years"

Low laughter rang out in the room.

Zhang Jing, a green-shirted scribe, was not ashamed at all.

"I used to live because I was in danger, it was too easy to die, and it was too worthless to die!" He patted his chest, "I am full of knowledge of astronomy and geography, and I was elected as an official when I was a teenager, and I have not yet benefited one party, I am not willing to die like this!" ”

He pointed to the people present.

"What about you? But if you come today, whether you want to come or your family forces you to come, who doesn't have a trace of unwillingness in your heart? ”

There was a silence at the scene where these words were said, who could be willing, in troubled times, all life was disrupted, changed, and life suddenly became meaningless......

"In the past, it was the generals who were soldiers who rushed to the front, and people like me, who couldn't wield knives and guns, were of no use."

"It's different now, there is a female marquis behind me, I'm like those generals, I can charge into battle, I can calm the world, and I can rest in peace!"

"If I, Zhang Jing, die, I will also die for the country and the people, and I will die as I deserve!"

Isn't it true that a person lives to die a well-deserved death, and no one in the room speaks, and no one laughs at his impassionedness......

Liu Fan, who was also standing outside the hall, looked at Jiang Liang: "This person, how much money did you give?" ”

Jiang Liang, who pinched the remaining two beards, snorted: "You are humiliating me, only others have ever given me money, how can I give it to others!" ”

He stretched out his hand and pointed to Zhang Jing, who began to talk about the benefits of analyzing the female marquis at this time.

"Even if I arrange for him to do this, I can get him to take the initiative to give me money to buy this opportunity."

In short, it is not possible to ask him to give money.

Liu Fan ignored him, he was very satisfied with the atmosphere in the room, and he was also very satisfied with Zhang Jing, in this troubled world for so long, he was going to despair of human nature, fortunately, human nature is just hidden, as long as he meets someone who can cover the evil ghost world......

But to everyone's surprise, there are not many people in this room who have passed the assessment of the female marquis, and Zhang Jing is not among them.

Those who were selected were stunned, and those who were not selected were also stunned.

It stands to reason that the decision of the marquis cannot be questioned, but I am really unconvinced!

Zhang Jing took a group of people, not only who was not selected, but also many people who were selected rushed to ask the female marquis to give an explanation.

The marquis was not as difficult to see as the legend suggests, and when she heard that she wanted to see her, she immediately came.

A fairy-like woman appeared like the legend, quieting the noisy hall until she opened her mouth to ask.

Zhang Jing stood up as a representative: "Dare to ask Madame, I didn't wait for the election, what is wrong with what is written?" ”

The selected test questions are very simple, and even a little inexplicable, not only asking the inspector what to do, but also asking how many people in the family this year are at the age of their wives and children......

Zhang Jing carefully wrote how to cut the power of the envoys, how to compete for the hearts of the people, and finally in order to show his determination, he also wrote that he was alone and had nothing to worry about.

Isn't he the most suitable person?

Li Minglou asked him to report his name, picked out his questionnaire and looked at it, and said, "Your answer is too good, so it is not appropriate." ”

Zhang Jing and others were stunned when they heard it, and they felt that they didn't understand it even more, and it was not appropriate to write well?

So one of the chosen people couldn't help but blurt out: "Then why did I choose?" Is it because the answer is not good? ”

He didn't really want to come, his family spent money to buy a local petty official, he felt easily content, but the family was too greedy, and when they saw that there was a greater opportunity, they wanted to go out of the feudal officials to make the ancestral tomb smoke.

"My good grandson, of course grandpa knows that you have mediocre qualifications, and it is precisely because of mediocre qualifications that you have to seize the opportunity, and this troubled world is an opportunity for people like you...... Too many good and capable people have died. ”

He came reluctantly, pinned his hopes on failing the exam, and happily went home to continue to be a small official, so he asked him how to be a supervisor, and he said that when he judged the situation and adapted, to put it bluntly, he didn't know how to be or what to do...... In addition, he also wrote that he had an eighty-year-old mother and a wife to marry, and he had not left a queen......

Shouldn't he be the most unsuitable person for this kind of incompetent and afraid of death?

Li Minglou asked his name, took out the questionnaire and looked at it, and nodded with a smile: "Yes, your answer is not good, but it is just right." ”

There was an uproar in the hall, and Zhang Jing stretched out his hand again, "Madam, please let me see other people's questionnaires." ”

Li Minglou did not refuse, and put out the selected and unselected ones for everyone to see at will, the hall became more chaotic, and the more the unselected people looked at it, the more angry they became, what was written about it, either greedy for life and afraid of death, or a straw bale......

Those who are elected to hide their faces are becoming more and more humiliating, especially after reading the questionnaire of the unsuccessful candidates, they can't wait to dig a hole to hide, these people have ambition, ability and courage and are not afraid of life and death, this is the most suitable!

What the hell is the marquis thinking! Is it because you didn't send money? Or is it because it's ugly?

Looking at the increasingly chaotic atmosphere in the hall, Li Minglou motioned for everyone to be quiet.

"Your answer is good, but it's not good." "You're digressing," she said. ”

She swept through the room.

"I guess you had guessed in your heart that this trip was dangerous before you came, but I didn't choose the Inspector to die, I chose the Inspector who could live."

"The overseer I want makes it impossible for the guardian to do anything."

"As long as I live, as long as this Inspector lives, the Inspector's mission will be completed."

The people in the hall were even more puzzled, didn't they go to monitor the recovery and weakening of the right to defend the road? So what's the point of this Overseer?

Li Minglou said: "The meaning is that these inspectors live in the guardian for one day, and tell the people that this guardian is the guardian of the imperial court!" ”

The hall was silent for a moment, and the meaning was probably understood......

Li Minglou stood up and looked at these people who had been chosen.

"You are a nail, I don't need you to make contributions, as long as you live, live in the defense of the road, and stick to the hearts of the people."

"Think about the old parents in your family, your wife and children, no matter what method you use, you will use all the methods to give Ben Hou a good life in the defense road."

"If you live, the court will live!"
