After Prime Minister Zhang left, Xiao Yan looked guilty: "Yuanqing has been with Gu for a few years, but Gu forgot about him, it really shouldn't be." ”

Xiao Han comforted: "There have been too many things that have happened recently, and you didn't mean to, I believe Zhang Yuanqing will understand." However, since Prime Minister Zhang Cheng has already proposed it, he really can't let Zhang Yuanqing continue to wait for the spring of next year. In addition, it is the time to employ people around you now, although Zhang Yuanqing is the son of Prime Minister Zhang Cheng, it is not impossible to use. ”

"What does Sister Han mean..."

"I mean, your next decree is to first seal Zhang Yuanqing an ordinary official position, and as for whether he can climb up without relying on Zhang Chengxiang, it's up to him. We will give the opportunity, but it also depends on whether the person can use it, and whether it is easy to use. By the way, you can also take this opportunity to see how the relationship between their father and son is like! Xiao Han analyzed.

Xiao Qi was silent for a moment before he spoke: "Everything should be done according to Sister Han's wishes, as for the official position, Sister Han must also have a plan in her heart." ”

Xiao Han sighed: "I know that you have a good relationship with Zhang Yuanqing, and I don't don't understand this if I want to promote him more." Therefore, I plan to let him start from the ministry, so that he is not wronged. If he does a good job and climbs up step by step, his future in the future is limitless. How, have you ever felt better when I arranged it this way? ”

Probably didn't expect her to say this, Xiao Qi's expression was slightly embarrassed, just now he was indeed a little dissatisfied in his heart, but he didn't expect to be noticed by Sister Han.

Xiao Han smiled: "These are some inconsequential little things, if you have any dissatisfaction, you can tell me, and you can find a suitable solution!" ”

"Then I want to ask to marry you, can I find a way?" The thought flashed through his mind, but he didn't ask it out of various concerns.

He was afraid that once he pierced this layer of window paper, the relationship between the two people would not only not go back, but would become more estranged, which was the last thing he could accept!

Sometimes, he is also quite depressed in his heart, obviously many people can see his thoughts about her, but she herself has never noticed it, as if she really regards him as her own brother, and there is no evil thought. For such Xiao Han, Xiao Qi often has a deep sense of powerlessness.

Xiao Han naturally noticed his sudden depression, but she didn't understand why he was like this, obviously she had already made concessions about Zhang Yuanqing, and he seemed to accept it.

She looked puzzled, but Xiao Yan changed the topic, and Xiao Han didn't pursue it, but just sighed that the child was older and had his own careful thoughts.

Early the next morning, the Prime Minister's Mansion received the prince's will to let Zhang Yuanqing go to the Ministry of Officials to be a foreigner. Let the subordinates call Zhang Yuanqing to the study.

Zhang Yuanqing didn't know the news, and came to the study with doubts: "The child asked his father to say goodbye, I don't know if the father asked the child to come, but what do you want to tell the child?" ”

For his young son, Prime Minister Zhang Cheng is full of love and high hopes, Prime Minister Zhang Cheng has a total of three sons and four daughters, of which only two sons and one daughter were born to the original match, and the rest were born to concubines. For Prime Minister Zhang Cheng, who has always attached great importance to the views of the family, as long as the children of the concubine do not fall into the doorway, it will be a good thing for him and the Zhang family.

What can be counted on in the future is the two sons-in-law from the main wife, the eldest son was sent out to Beijing, and his career was quite smooth, so he didn't need to worry about it.

And the youngest son has always been taken care of by him, and under his teaching, he has been known as a 'prodigy' since he was a child. He naturally also had high hopes for his young son, originally thinking that if he sent his young son to the prince, with the help of the prince, his official career would be smoother in the future.

As a result, I didn't expect that since the prince was in charge of the country, the youngest son returned home, and there was no news from the prince's side, which made Prime Minister Zhang Cheng anxious day by day, otherwise he would not rashly question Prince Yu.

However, he did not make a mistake in this step, judging from the reaction of His Royal Highness the Prince, he still has the position of his youngest son in his heart, otherwise such an important position in the Ministry of Officials would not be occupied by a person who has never been involved in officialdom, which shows that the prince is still very optimistic about his young son. As long as the youngest son can compete for strength, the future may be better than the eldest son!

Things went well, Prime Minister Zhang Cheng's mood was much better, and there was a hint of a smile on his face: "Qing'er is here, this time my father called you because His Royal Highness the Crown Prince made a decree to make you a member of the Ministry of Officials, and tomorrow you go to the Ministry of Officials to complete the formalities, and you can take office." ”

Hearing this, Zhang Yuanqing was a little surprised: "Why did His Royal Highness the Crown Prince suddenly think of his son?" But what did my father say to His Highness? ”

Prime Minister Zhang Cheng didn't hide it, and said it very happily: "That's right, I'm worried about your future for my father, so I said a few words to His Royal Highness, but I didn't expect His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to give you such an errand, which shows that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince attaches great importance to you!" ”

Zhang Yuanqing seemed to be a little dissatisfied with his father's actions, his brows were furrowed, and a trace of unhappiness flashed in his eyes, but thinking that his father had made such a move for his own consideration, he didn't say anything.

Prime Minister Zhang Cheng naturally saw the dissatisfaction in his young son's eyes, he sighed slightly, his young son is good at everything, he is talented, and his morality is first-class, but this character is really naïve, and when he goes to officialdom, he is afraid that he will have to suffer some hardships.

Zhang Yuanqing didn't understand what Zhang Chengxiang was thinking, he and his father discussed some regulations about what they needed to go to before going to the ministry, Zhang Chengxiang told them one by one, and after speaking, Zhang Yuanqing got up and said goodbye and went back to his small courtyard.

Prime Minister Zhang sighed again, feeling that after he really entered the officialdom and encountered some setbacks, he would naturally be able to sharpen the child's character, although he didn't take it to heart, and continued to deal with the official business at hand.

Xiao Han didn't know about the affairs of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and now she was dealing with the matter of the snow disaster, which could be solved just by waiting for them to come back, but what made her uneasy was that she thought that after she returned to the court, many people would oppose it like before, and even release rumors, just like before. But it has been more than a month since she came back, and the DPRK and the people, including the people, are calm, which is completely different from what she expected.

I don't know if the other party is aware of her intentions, so I am willing to give up such a great opportunity and choose to hibernate.

It's just that if the other party does this, then her plans will all be disrupted, and I'm afraid I won't be able to find out anything this time. If you want to catch the other party's 'tail', you can only wait for the person behind the scenes, and the next shot!

Now that the weather is improving, according to the previous rules, a 'spring banquet' should be held in the spring, which is regarded as a 'blessing' for the new year, and the emperor will hold a big banquet to entertain hundreds of officials, including the royal family and relatives in the court, and the women.

The Ministry of Rites also took an excerpt and asked about the 'Spring Banquet', and Xiao Han was a little undecided.

The emperor's uncle is not in good health, but this matter should also be told to him, and it is up to him to make the decision.

Xiao Han got up and went to Yongle Palace with the fold, and when he arrived at Yongle Palace, he happened to see the emperor's uncle out of the palace with difficulty, sitting in the pavilion by the lake, looking at the calm lake in the distance and not knowing what he was thinking.

She stood aside and hesitated whether to come forward to disturb, after all, it was difficult for the emperor's uncle to come out of this Yaxing, thinking that the emperor's uncle was running out, Xiao Han's heart was quite depressed.

Before she could think about whether to continue to wait or turn to leave, Emperor Wu An said, "Since you are here, come in and sit for a while, and by the way, why you came." ”

"Pingle obeys." The palace people lifted the bamboo curtain, Xiao Han walked in, saluted first, and then found a place to do it, quietly waiting for the emperor to speak.

"Tell me, why did you come to me?" Emperor Wu An asked.

Xiao Han took out the song, and the father-in-law Liu on the side took it, and then opened the song and read the content, and reported to Emperor Wu'an: "Your Majesty, it is a report from the Ministry of Rites, and the content is about this year's 'Spring Banquet', I want to ask what kind of regulations it is this year." ”

Emperor Wu An thought for a while and said, "I am not feeling well, so I can't preside over this year's Spring Banquet, so this matter should be handled by Pingle and the crown prince." ”

Xiao Han hesitated for a long time, but still said, "Doesn't Uncle Huang plan to show up at the 'Spring Banquet'?" The Spring Banquet was originally held by the emperors of the past dynasties to reward civil and military officials, and if it was organized by Pingle and the crown prince, I am afraid that there will be some turmoil again in the government and the opposition. ”

She would say this, and she also looked at the fact that Emperor Wu'an could come out and walk around today, and she seemed to be in much better health. Of course, the other part of the reason is exactly what she says. If the emperor does not show up all the time, it is inevitable that there will be all kinds of speculations among the officials in the court, and the turmoil in the court and China will not be a joke!

Emperor Wu An smiled: "This can be regarded as an opportunity, a chance to see everyone clearly." Therefore, it is more beneficial for you not to show up. It's better than if I'm gone in the future, and after I find out, I'm going to come better, Pingle, are you right? ”

Xiao Han hurriedly saluted: "What the emperor's uncle said is very reasonable, Pingle has been taught!" ”

"Since I have handed over the government to you, it is naturally up to you to take care of it, and if it is not a major matter, there is no need to bother me. It's been too long, but I like it, so you and the prince will handle the rest of the matter! Emperor Wu An sighed.

"Pingle understands."

Accompanied Emperor Wu An to talk for a while, seeing that Emperor Wu An seemed to be unwell, she immediately got up and retreated, presumably the emperor's uncle did not want her to continue to stay, looking at his weak appearance. The weakness of the emperor is not something that anyone can peep at.

After returning to Changchun Palace, Xiao Han ordered to summon Wen Yuanshan, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and after Wen Yuanshan entered the palace, Xiao Han told Wen Yuanshan what Emperor Wu'an meant.

Wen Yuanshan didn't object after hearing this, but he was a little embarrassed: "It can be, but the two highnesses should also know that the Spring Banquet is not only a romance for hundreds of officials, but also includes a wife and some noble girls." At present, there is no queen in the Jin Kingdom, so someone must be in charge of the female dependents. ”

Unexpectedly, Wen Yuanshan was worried about this, Xiao Han quickly said: "There is no need to worry about this, the palace is responsible for the female dependents, and His Royal Highness is responsible for the hundred officials." ”

"This..."Wen Yuanshan still wanted to speak a little, and in Xiao Han's puzzled gaze, he said dumbly: "Your Highness, this is unreasonable!" It stands to reason that even if there is no queen, it should be in His Majesty's harem, and a respected concubine should be chosen! ”

Xiao Han said with a smile: "The etiquette law was originally formulated by people, and when the ancestors formulated it, they naturally did not consider the current situation, so continuous improvement is the most important thing. ”

Wen Yuanshan wanted to say something, Xiao Han continued: "Moreover, since the founding of the Jin Kingdom, there is no precedent for the princess to be regent, and naturally there is also a precedent for the princess to prepare the spring banquet on behalf of His Majesty. ”

"There is nothing wrong with returning to Your Highness." Wen Yuanshan finally compromised, because he understood that Princess Pingle had already made up her mind about this matter, and no matter what he said, it would not change this established fact.

Seeing Wen Yuanshan's compromise, Xiao Han stopped talking about it, Wen Yuanshan agreed, and this matter would be much easier.

The rest of the matter is to choose an auspicious day by Qin Tianjian and arrange it at this time. The spring banquets are all arranged by the emperor, so there is no need to inform the officials, just hand it over to the Qin Tian supervisor to calculate the auspicious day and handle it in the Ministry of Rites.

Explained by the crown prince and Princess Pingle in person, Qin Tianjian naturally did not dare to slack off, and soon presented the calculated auspicious day. After Xiao Han and Xiao Qi saw it, there was nothing wrong with it, so they handed everything over to the Ministry of Rites to arrange. Then notify the hundred officials of the day of the spring banquet.

Not only that, but the princes of Zhuang and the princes of the vassal who stayed in the capital naturally couldn't be left behind, and all of them were invited. Even the eldest princess of Fushou, who was praying for blessings in the royal temple, Xiao Han also sent someone to deliver the news.

The date of the Qin Heavenly Prison was set for the fifteenth day of this month, and there were still five days to go, so the officials of the Ministry of Rites became very busy.

On the contrary, Xiao Han and Xiao Qi's daily life has not changed much, the court that should go to the court, and the government who should handle political affairs, does not seem to have changed much.

The days flowed into the water, time passed in a flash, and soon it was the day when the spring banquet was held, because it was a 'spring banquet' was a luncheon, so the court deliberately stopped for a day, which was regarded as a hundred officials.

The officials who served in Beijing all brought their families into the palace together, and the princes naturally rushed to the palace from the suburbs of Beijing one after another. Because of the existence of these princes, Xiao Han was still a little worried, after all, arranging them in the palace, saying that it was 'praying', but in fact it was equivalent to protons, they must have a lot of dissatisfaction in their hearts, and she was afraid that Xiao Yan would not be able to cope with it.

Compared with Xiao Han's worries, Xiao Yan looked relaxed, and was in the mood to appease Xiao Han and make her not think too much.
