"Emperor Qi, the minister is a jinshi two years ago, he has experienced three exams before taking the fame, but he has not succeeded, and every time he fails, he will learn from the performance of the top three as a reference, but helplessly the minister found that the reason for the three failures is nothing else, it is precisely because the minister has no power, no power and no family, and the top three performance appraisal is not better than the minister's writing, what is the reason? It is because of greed! ”

"How can this be reasonable, you are actually corrupt to the country's talents, you look at you one by one, except for the military generals who want to fight with their lives, you civil officials, what use do I want you to have? Well! ”

Listening to Zhou Xuan's words, Wei Yuqin became more and more angry, and most of the official positions of these silent civil officials in front of him must have been bought.

Unexpectedly, the country he worked so hard to run had rotted to such an extent, but Zhou Xuan in front of him seemed to be like a newly sprouted sapling, which brought him a glimmer of hope.

"Your Majesty, please take care of the dragon's body, and listen to the ministers first, now the government of the Sulfur Yuan Dynasty is greedy, and many people are holding public food at the moment, but they are actually idiots, the ministers implore the emperor to return all civil officials to the Tribute Academy, and re-run, those who are qualified should stay in office, and those who are not qualified will be exiled!"

A word made everyone in the hall collapse in an instant, and some people's minds were almost blank, and it wouldn't be their lives to refer to it again.

It took so much money to get a half-official job, but now he can't hold his temper, some people propose, and naturally some people refute it.

"Back to the emperor, the ministers thought that this move was inappropriate, and it was too child's play, above the court, how many ministers have not entered the tribute court for many years, not to mention that the imperial examination is more difficult every time, it is really unfair to those old ministers!"

"I think it's feasible, what's the matter, could it be that Liu Aiqing's official position was also bought?"

Wei Yuqin's words blocked the civil officials who stood up to refute, even if this move would turn into a national discussion, he still had to think that this method was very good.

"Your Majesty, the minister asks for the emperor and the queen to be the examiners this time, and the minister is willing to assist the emperor and the queen, and he must bow to the essence and die!"

Not to mention how many civil officials there are, let's just say that there are countless large and small positions in the entire country, if everyone comes to take the exam, then he and the queen will not be exhausted to death, not to mention that the queen is still pregnant, so naturally she can't work too hard.

"In this way, I ordered you to be the invigilator, responsible for all the exams in the Tribute Academy, and Lu Li was the guard of the Tribute Academy, but anyone who cheats and impostors will be killed on the spot!"

"Also, this exam will first test all the personnel above the six-rank official, except for the military generals, and after the exam, the counties and prefectures will be decided."

"Obey the order!"

Originally, Lu Li had a better way, but the fledgling kid in front of him opened his mouth first, so let's take a look at whether this method is feasible first.

Although some rat feces are about to be screened out at this level of the exam, corruption is nature, and it has nothing to do with literary official positions.

Let's take a look

The way things are going.

After the court meeting ended, Lu Li, who was about to go home, was intercepted by Xiao Yuanzi in front of the palace gate.

"Lord Lu, Lord Lu, and Lord Lu!"

"What's the matter with Father-in-law Xiaoyuan?"

"The emperor asked you to go to the imperial dining room to be obedient, saying that the two files in Jiangnan have not been dealt with, and I forgot about the matter of the tribute courtyard in the court just now, so you can go to the imperial dining room with the slaves!"

Seeing that it was getting late and late, thinking that he would not be able to accompany Su Xiaoman to have his first meal in the new house tonight, he nodded politely to Xiaoyuanzi and followed him.

As soon as I arrived at the imperial dining room, I saw Wei Yuqin holding a pot of chilled daughter red in his hand, the weather was very hot, in this hot season, only the daughter red in the ice cellar could quench his thirst.

"Your Majesty, Lord Lu is here!"

"Your Majesty!"

Lu Li bowed respectfully, and watched Wei Yuqin pour a cup of daughter red into his mouth, making a slurping sound.

"Lu Li, why are you running so fast, I haven't finished telling you yet, give me a seat!"

Xiao Yuanzi quickly moved the pear flower stool, let Lu Li sit next to Wei Yuqin, and poured a glass of good wine, he was busy with political affairs every day in this palace, and Lu Li was the only one who could understand his mood.

"Your Majesty, about the two things in Jiangnan, the minister wants to investigate privately, after all, this involves second-grade officials, if you accidentally alarm, I'm afraid you will be shocked!"

"I think my country is really sad, now you are the only one who can speak, you kid went to Jiangnan for so many days, and thought that you would bring me any special products, but I didn't bring anything, no, tomorrow you will bring your little sister into the palace to cook for me, otherwise I will punish you!"

After a few glasses of wine, Wei Yuqin was already a little fluttering, Lu Li didn't expect that the current emperor's alcohol consumption was so poor, could it be that the alcohol content was too high?

Pick up the wine glass in front of you and drink it all, sweet with sweet, sweet with a little spicy, it is indeed a good wine.

But the alcohol content is not very high.

"Your Majesty, the minister will bring his inner man tomorrow! Rest assured! ”

Daughter red is indeed a good wine, according to legend is that the day when the people's family gave birth to a girl, they will bury a jar of brewed wine under the osmanthus tree, and experience more than ten years of aging underground, and then dig it out from under the osmanthus tree on the day of the girl's marriage, as a congratulatory gift to the in-laws, indicating that the daughter has become an adult and has been able to be the master of the house.

The two of them drank a few glasses of wine, chatted from the ground to the sky, from birds to animals, from mountains to seafood, and worked tirelessly without feeling drunk at all.

The night is coming, I don't know if it's because of the mood, Su Xiaoman, who was standing outside the courtyard, felt that today's moon was particularly round.

"Is the master back?"

"Not yet, but I sent someone to say that it might be busy until late at night, and I shouldn't be able to come back tonight!"

Su Xiaoman lowered his head, turned around and walked under the peach blossom tree, looking at the pink peach blossom petals, like a girl's skin that can be blown and broken, and there is no room for others to violate it.

It seemed a little sad, but the pearl didn't dare to smell it either.

"Madam, although it's already the summer solstice, the wind is still quite cool at night, why don't we go into the house first!"

Originally, I wanted to wait for Lu Li to come back and tell him about the organ, but I didn't expect to be left in the palace by Wei Yuqin.

"Alright! Is Shu'er settled there? ”

"It's settled, with Liuli and Grandma Pan taking care of it, Madame doesn't have to worry!"

Pearl whispered as she held her wrist.

"Then you get up early tomorrow and let Liuli go into the palace with Shu'er to study, these days in Jiangnan, his studies are a little wasted, remember to tell him to bring all the things he must use, don't lose everything!"

For the sake of Lu Wangshu, Su Xiaoman was heartbroken, she knew what her son was like, but after becoming a mother, she always had to nag a lot.

After returning to the room, Pearl waited for Su Xiaoman to go to bed, and then retreated, but the organs at home did make Su Xiaoman have some scruples, and he really couldn't sleep, so he got up and took out the booklet by himself.

The last page of the booklet is written about the distribution of hidden weapons and the place where the mechanism is triggered, the study is a heavy place, which is naturally good for Lu Li, but Lu Wangshu originally liked to run to the study, what if he accidentally got it.

Or maybe the little maid at home got it!

After thinking about it, I still feel that it is inappropriate, and I have to think of a way to prevent it from touching the mechanism.

It wasn't until late at night that Su Xiaoman gradually fell asleep.

Perhaps because of overwork, he slept for a long time, and when Su Xiaoman woke up, he was already on the clock, and Lu Wangshu also entered the palace with Liuli according to her instructions.

When I got up, I found that the whole courtyard was clean and tidy and odorless.

Standing at the door, I saw that the pearl was very majestic, and ordered a group of people to sweep the courtyard.

"You guys, go to the verandah and check it again, be sure not to leave a little stain, and you move gently, don't make Madame sleep, you two, go to the kitchen to see if Madame's breakfast is ready, move faster!"

A series of instructions made Su Xiaoman feel that his earlier worries were in vain, and the pearl in front of him was indeed much more capable than before, even if he made arrangements for the work of the servants at home, he didn't have to speak himself.

"Pearl!"

"Madame, you are up!"

Hearing Su Xiaoman's call, Pearl hurriedly stepped forward to respond.

"Xiao Ju, go and fetch Madame's face wash!"

"Pearl, thank you for your hard work, get up so early to arrange work for them!"

Back in the room, Su Xiaoman also said a few words of relief.

"Madame, this is what a slave should do!"

"Pearl, you will be the housekeeper of my house in the future, you have to help me take care of this house!"

To Su Xiaoman's approval, Pearl was happy in her heart, and said with a smile: "Thanks to Mrs. Love, Pearl will not fail to complete the task assigned by Mrs. ”

Although she is a housekeeper, Pearl is still Su Xiaoman's personal maid, but because of Xiao Yuan, she didn't work very hard, basically Xiao Yuan was serving Su Xiaoman.

Just combed Su Xiaoman's hair in a bun

, the little guy at the door ran panting.

He bowed his hand to her respectfully and said, "Mrs. Qiyu, there is a person outside the door who handed over the post, saying that he was your confidant and came to congratulate her!" ”

"Confidant?"

When to have a confidant?

Why don't you even know yourself, and still come to congratulate?

Su Xiaoman looked suspicious, obviously this person was not here to congratulate, he took the post in the hand of the little servant, and did not write his name, and it was not clear who was visiting.

"You tell the man that there are no visitors in our house today, and we won't open until three days later!"

Originally, Su Xiaoman planned to wait for the next few days to settle down, so he opened the mansion and invited those officials and ladies to come to the mansion to eat and drink, by the way, you can get to know each other, and the days in the capital will not be too boring in the future.
