Chapter 194: Ambition
Haruko ran upstairs with a smile and saluted the calm sitting on the steps.
Calmly pat the steps next to him and let him sit down.
Xiao Chunzi sat down, took out a box of rose cakes from his sleeve and handed it to her: "Sister, I originally wanted to go to Fengqi Palace to give it to you, but you asked Dayong to call me out to meet, so I brought it to you, this is something from Yunnan, they said it was delicious." ”
Calmly ripped open the box, took out one and handed it to him, Xiao Haruko was not polite, reached out and took a bite, and gave a thumbs up and praised the deliciousness.
"Haruko, help me find a face, I want to be young, beautiful, talkative, and loyal, can I find it?" Calmly asked him.
Haruko choked on the cake in her mouth, coughed, and was speechless for a while.
Calm and stunned, he laughed twice, patted him on the back, and said angrily: "Blame me for speaking before and after, scaring you, this person is not for my own use, you don't have to be surprised." ”
Xiao Chunzi stretched her sleeves and wiped the corners of her mouth, hehe: "Sister, I didn't mean that." ”
"Do you know anyone like that?" Calmly asked him.
Xiao Chunzi tilted his head and thought about it, and nodded: "Big brother should recognize, he often brings a man when he goes out to socialize, and he has red lips and white teeth, and his beauty is abnormal."
Once my mother saw him, thinking that he was good for the same sex, and scolded him, he explained that there were some big bosses in the capital who were good men, and he was helpless, so he took the man to socialize.
That man was rescued in the river when the eldest brother went to Hangzhou, and later met again in the capital, I don't know why he did this business, and he was loyal to my eldest brother. ”
"It's good to be loyal, I want him to do something, the time is pressing, only a month or two, it depends on whether he has the ability to do it.
If he can really take it, you let the eldest brother redeem himself for him, give him two money banks to be the boss himself, if he is unwilling, then the conditions are up to him, and Song Ji can give them all. Calmly said.
Xiao Chunzi was shocked again, and asked in a trembling voice, "Sister, what is so important?" Don't worry, if he can do it, even if he wants our brother's life, he will give it to him. ”
————————————
In the evening, Zhang's headache recurred, and he rolled all over the floor in the imperial study in pain, until he hurried over calmly, comforted him for a long time, and fed him the medicine prescribed by Zhu Changmao, so that he was better and fell asleep.
Calmly staying on the side of the couch, embroidering needlework, this craft is learned from the laughing man, not refined, reluctantly, just to pass the time, so that he does not have so much free to think.
The more things get to the last minute, the more cranky they tend to become.
I knew that the ending would definitely win, but I still had to think about it and think of a hundred ways to overturn the already predestined ending.
"Calm down, you help me finish the folds on the table, I really can't do it, I have a headache." Zhang opened his eyes and commanded weakly.
Calmly put down the embroidery brace in her hand, sat down behind the bookcase and approved the folding, she is no longer polite to Zhang, Zhang asked her to approve, she will approve, no need to ask his opinion at all.
Zhang will definitely agree with the opinions she wrote, and even feel that they are more appropriate and meticulous than her own approval.
The red pen in his calm hand did not fall, and the tears rolled down his cheeks first.
Seeing the tears, Zhang became more and more guilty, and said in a low voice: "What's wrong with you?" Why are you crying? ”
"Your Majesty, I'm afraid that the concubines won't be able to do these things for the emperor in the future, the emperor has to take care of himself, only the newcomer laughs, where can I hear the truth of the old man crying." Calmly put down the pen in his hand, stretched out his sleeves and wiped his tears.
"Calm down, aren't you disgusting? That woman, you know, I, even if I can't bear it again, I can't do it. Zhang smiled bitterly, looking desperate.
"The emperor must not judge people by their appearance, in ancient times, there was a saltless virtuous queen in the front, maybe she is today's saltless virtuous queen, who can help the emperor achieve a great cause, and the concubine is just a contemporary Daji who will use evil magic to confuse the emperor." calmly choked and said: "The concubine only asks the emperor to keep the life of the concubine, and it is enough for me to fend for myself." ”
"Calm down, I'm 。。。。。。" Zhang wanted to speak and stopped, stared at him for a long time, and finally continued: "Don't worry, when my headache is better, talk to the queen mother, the queen mother is a virtuous person, and she will definitely agree with me." ”
"Your Majesty, why give up the entire garden for a woman, and why destroy the foundation of Great Xia for a woman, the concubines just feel wronged and want to tell the emperor, but they don't want to fight for anything, what's the use of winning? What can you lose if you lose? It's just a false name. Calmly said again, looking a little calmer, picked up the pen, and continued to make excerpts.
The expression on Zhang's face became more and more sad.
"Your Majesty, this excerpt of Guanglu Temple reminds the concubines of something, this month is the ancestor's birthday, is it inappropriate to do a happy event at this time?" Calmly flipped through the folds and asked him.
"Yes, it's not appropriate, just put it back for another month." Zhang hurriedly replied.
"It's not possible to push it for a month, but next month will be the end of the year, and even the people have stopped getting married, and it's even difficult to do happy events." Calmly frowned, shook his head, sighed, and tears clearly hung on his eyelashes: "It's better to marry before the ancestor's death, this is the best, it's just these days." ”
"Then let's talk about it after the New Year, but this New Year, all the people will celebrate together, and the queen mother's illness will be cured." Zhang said impatiently.
"The concubine saw Lord Zhu today, and I heard him say that the Queen Mother's illness has improved, and when I went to ask for peace in the afternoon, I also found that the mother was in good spirits." Calm down.
"Calm down, don't hesitate any longer, wait for the year after the seal, it's just a proposed candidate, as for marrying or not marrying, we'll discuss it after the year." Zhang waved his hand.
Calm and wanted to speak, but was stopped by Zhang waving his sleeves, called into the first day of the junior high school, passed the decree, and discussed the matter after the closure was later.
"Your Majesty, the concubine has a secret recipe for beauty and beauty, go back later, write it down, and let someone send it to Miss Qian, so that when she enters the palace next year, she will become like a porcelain doll, transparent and snow-white.
It's just that the skin can be changed, but the appearance can't, but as the saying goes, one white covers ten ugliness, and when the skin is white, people will naturally look much better. Calmly smiled.
Zhang also followed her with a smile and nodded: "Very good, you can do this, I am very relieved, although I dare not guarantee it, but I will definitely do my best, and I will talk about it after the year." ”
"The emperor's friendship is calmly remembered in my heart." Calmly whimpered.
Zhang closed his eyes and sighed, with a relieved look on his face.
can delay for a while, he doesn't want to marry that dominatrix, this emperor is also aggrieved, always for this and that, to do something that he is not willing to do.
After the delay, as soon as Enke opened, he selected some young talents to come up, and when there were available people around him, he would not be afraid of these old ministers being arrogant.
After calmly grading the folds, he cleaned his hands in the copper basin, walked to the couch and looked at the chapter, he was already asleep, snoring slightly.
She screamed softly, but there was no response, so she walked out of the imperial study lightly, met Liao Zhanyu and came in, saw her, stood aside respectfully, and bowed her head and called Niangniang.
"The emperor is asleep, and he will come back when he wakes up." Calmly chuckled.
Liao Zhanyu responded, made a series to her, and wanted to leave.
"Lord Liao, the emperor is afraid that he won't wake up for a while, if it's urgent, maybe tell me first?" Calmly stopped him, asked in a low voice with an unfathomable smile on his face.
Liao Zhanyu was stunned and nodded slightly: "It's just about the selection of Enke, the normal scientific examination is directly appointed by the emperor and the officials of the history department assist."
The minister just wanted to ask who would be the chief examiner of this Enke. ”
Calmly spread his hands: "This is really to ask the emperor face to face, but the concubine thinks that Enke selects the scholar to select the available person for the emperor, and the examiner does not need to use the royal family, and the concubine says that he does not know death, this time he travels to Jiangnan with Lord Liao,
Those feudal officials are all noble, and they are always inextricably linked with the royal family and clan in the capital, and this connection has to make people think about it, so as to doubt whether the imperial examination system in Daxia is really fair and just.
If Enke is still like this this time, I am afraid that it will really chill the hearts of students all over the world, and the imperial court will also lose the real pillars of the world. ”
When Liao Dianyu heard this, his expression instantly became solemn, and he made a long compilation towards Calm, and sighed heavily: "What Niangniang said is very true, and it coincides with what the ministers think, but the problem now is that almost all the officials in charge of the scientific examination and selection are served by the royal family, and it is not easy to exclude them all.
If you don't do it well, you will be self-defeating and retaliated against by them, and when the time comes, I am afraid that even a useful person will not be selected. ”
Calmly glanced at the imperial study, smiled silently, and stretched out his finger: "What if he is the chief examiner of this Enke himself?" What royal family would dare to say anything more?
Historically, in the imperial examination, the examiner always reads the students' papers first, selects the top three and the list of jinshi, and sends them to the emperor for preview, and the emperor personally determines the top three positions, while the emperor cannot see the papers of other candidates.
But if the emperor is the chief examiner, wouldn't the emperor be able to watch all the candidates' papers?
Although doing so is a bit overworked for the emperor, it can also select a real usable person, right? When the time comes, Lord Liao will also help, right? Calmly smiled:
"Besides, this is Enke, it's not a formal imperial examination once every three years, or it violates the previous rules and laws, and there's nothing to criticize, right?"
Liao Zhanyu listened to the calm words, and the shock in his heart couldn't be expressed.
In the past few months, the wisdom of governing the country that he has calmly displayed is far above that of him and all the cabinet ministers, and even far beyond the emperor's insight.
For the complicated affairs of the court, she can put forward a solution that convinces Liao Zhanyu in a few words, and even if everyone in the cabinet thinks about it, they can't find a better way than this.
The balance in Liao Zhanyu's heart is a little unbalanced, his heart has always looked down on women, thinking that they have long hair and short knowledge, and they have no great wisdom, so they can only fight for the wind and jealousy in the backyard and break their hearts for men.
But the appearance of calmness gave him a different understanding of women.
This woman is indeed extraordinary, she has the consciousness of controlling the overall situation like an emperor, and has a wise mind and insight like an emperor.
Liao Zhanyu privately thought that her wisdom was far better than that of the current emperor, and even far better than any of the three emperors of the dynasty he had served.
"Lord Liao?" Seeing that he had been silent, Calm called him with a smile.
Liao Zhanyu came back to his senses and arched his hand at her: "What Niangniang said is very true, and the old minister is happy to surrender." ”
"Lord Liao, this is just a small insight in this palace, if you are offended, please ignore the villain, and have the right to talk nonsense."
Calmly saluted him and walked away.
