Ban Ling Ruoqi said: "Sister, what do you mean?" ”

Sima Hongyan explained: "The reason why I'm not worried is that the emperor attaches great importance to explaining that he wants to promote this matter, and it is good for us to pay more attention. And what I'm worried about is that the female army will definitely have an extraordinary effect on the emperor, and it will also pose a threat to some people, so I'm afraid we will face a lot of invisible dangers. It might even endanger our lives. ”

Shi Jinyan pondered it carefully and said, "There is indeed this possibility. I guess we haven't had any trouble now, because we haven't done anything yet. Once we make some progress, trouble may follow. ”

Ban Lingruo said: "Then what should we do?" You can't just leave it at that, right? I'm not reconciled! ”

Sima Hongyan said: "Silly sister, I am not willing if you are willing, I believe that Jin Yan will not be willing to be even more unwilling than the two of us." So what I mean is that not only can't we stop, but we have to speed up, and we have to build up the women's army first. ”

Ban Lingruo said: "It's a pity that it's just the three of us, if only there were a few more helpers." ”

Shi Jinyan said: "It's not three, it's four." ”

Ban Ling Ruoqi said: "Four? Who else? His Highness the Nine? ”

Sima Hongyan smiled: "This question is actually the answer to the question you thought about for a long time just now. ”

Suddenly, Ban Lingruo had a flash of inspiration, and hurriedly said, "You mean Zhong Liying, she will come to help us?" ”

Sima Hongyan nodded and said, "This time I have made progress, and I finally came up with it." Then guess why she didn't come back with us? ”

Ban Lingruo was naturally not stupid, thinking about the place where Zhong Liying had to go and had to go at this moment, he suddenly realized: "Oh! It turned out that she went to Yixiang Valley! ”

Sima Hongyan and Shi Jinyan laughed at the same time.

A few days later, under the collation of the three of them, written by Shi Jinyan, a complete plan for the establishment of the women's army was completed. Sima Hongyan took the planning book and turned to the heavenly palace to face the king.

In the early dynasty of Yanling, there were two classes of civil and military. Sima Hongyan didn't know where she should stand, she went to ask the ministers in the palace, but she didn't answer without saying anything, it seemed that she wanted to see her jokes. Even the deacons and eunuchs in the temple replied that they did not know.

Sima Hongyan saw that everyone was deliberately making things difficult, and he was not angry, so he simply stood in the middle of the main hall, holding his head high, and did not feel embarrassed at all.

When Emperor Yanzhen came out of the back hall, he saw Sima Hongyan standing in the center of the hall at first sight.

The ministers knelt down on the mountain and shouted, "Long live!" Sima Hongyan followed everyone to bow down to the emperor.

According to the rules, the head of the civil officials on the left should be the first to play, and so on, until all the ministers who need to play have finished speaking, and the early dynasty is over.

But who knew that Li Xiangguo hadn't spoken yet, but Sima Hongyan was the first to speak: "Your Majesty, the courtiers have something!" ”

Yan Zhenyi frowned and said, "Sima Hongyan, do you understand the rules?" Why don't you stand in the middle of the temple instead of standing in the order of the pilgrimage? You are guilty of disrespect! ”

Sima Hongyan said unhurriedly: "Your Majesty, what you said is right. But the courtiers don't know where to stand! ”

Yan Zhen shouted: "Nonsense! I don't know if you won't ask? The military officials in the palace can tell you. ”

Sima Hongyan said: "Your Majesty, don't be angry. It's not that the courtiers didn't ask, but none of the lords were willing to tell the courtiers, even the deacons and eunuchs and the courtiers asked, and they all answered that they didn't know. The courtiers didn't understand what it meant, so they had no choice but to stand in the middle. ”

Emperor Yanzhen said "oh" and immediately understood the intentions of the ministers. He looked around the hall, looked at Sima Hongyan again, and said, "Okay! Since no one told you where to stand, it's not your fault this time. Anyway, you're standing in front of me, so let's talk about it today! ”

The emperor didn't embarrass Sima Hongyan, and let her do things first. Immediately, a civil official came out to oppose it, and he directly stood up and said: "Your Majesty, Sima Hongyan is a small counselor, and he is not qualified to go to the palace to discuss matters." Now that she is standing in the palace with great disrespect, how can the emperor not only not punish, but let her take the lead? This has never had a precedent since the establishment of the Yanling Dynasty, and the minister feels that it is absolutely inappropriate! ”

Sima Hongyan turned his head to see that he was standing slightly behind the ranks of civil officials, with a thin figure and a small mustache, and he looked very obscene.

Sima Hongyan was inspired and said, "This lord, the first person I asked when I entered the hall was you, right?" I asked you where I was supposed to stand, and you said you didn't know. Right? ”

When that civil official heard something! Immediately retorted: "You are talking nonsense, when have you asked me?" The first thing you ask is...... Yes......" I couldn't say it for a long time, and I accidentally leaked my mouth.

Sima Hongyan immediately grabbed his handle and asked, "Who is it?" Looks like you just saw me asking! I'm sorry, but you're all dressed similarly, I mistook you for you. Could you please tell the emperor, which is the first minister I ask? ”

The civil official stammered and didn't dare to speak, but the emperor was sitting on it and waiting for his reply, sweating profusely for a while.

Emperor Yanzhen looked at the minister's uncomfortable appearance, smiled, and said loudly: "Ladies and gentlemen, do you still not think about it like this today? ”

The ministers didn't understand what the emperor was referring to, so they knelt down one after another and shouted: "The emperor forgives the sins!" ”

Emperor Yanzhen continued: "Look at yourself, I'm afraid everyone is older than Sima Shenling, right? It's hard to be a little girl, you are really getting more and more capable! ”

The ministers shouted in unison again: "The ministers are guilty!" ”

Emperor Yanzhen waved his hand and said, "Forget it!" Since they are all guilty, as a punishment, let Sima Shen have a prelude today. The ministers looked at each other, but none dared to raise any more objections.

Emperor Yanzhen said to Sima Hongyan: "But the ministers are not wrong, the lowest level of this court class is a fifth-grade official, you really have no place in the palace, and you can't blame the adults for not telling you." ”

The emperor suddenly changed his words to speak for the adults, and the faces of the officials looked a little better.

Emperor Yanzhen said again: "That's it! Sima Hongyan, if you have something to do in the future, don't come to the early dynasty to report it, you can wait until the early dynasty, and go directly to the harem to report to me alone. ”

At this time, His Royal Highness's ministers were in an uproar, and someone immediately said: "Your Majesty, this matter must not be done!" Yanling has strict rules in the past dynasties, and ministers are not allowed to enter the harem, and no one has dared to violate it for hundreds of years. Please also ask the emperor to take back his fate! ”

Another minister also said: "Your Majesty! The harem is a royal land, and letting the courtiers enter the harem is probably not good for the reputation of my Yanling royal family, so please think twice! ”

Emperor Yanzhen and the others gradually quieted down before asking, "Ladies and gentlemen, I ask you, why did you set the rule that courtiers are not allowed to enter the harem in the first place?" ”

His Highness's faces suddenly became very ugly, and they all lowered their heads, and no one answered. Sima Hongyan also felt strange, and secretly wondered if something had happened in the harem back then.

Seeing that no one answered, Emperor Yanzhen said, "Li Xiangguo, you come to answer me!" ”

Li Mingzhong came out of the ranks, knelt on the ground and said, "Your Majesty! This matter involves the emperor's family affairs, and the ministers dare not speak! ”

Emperor Yanzhen smiled and said, "It's been hundreds of years, and to this day you are still so cautious and don't dare to say it directly." Good! You don't talk about me. It was because a minister entered the harem privately and committed adultery with the people in the harem and had children, which ruined my royal reputation. Right? ”

The ministers lowered their heads, and no one dared to respond.

Yan Zhen said: "Although this kind of ugly thing is not known to the world, I think there is probably nothing in the hall that you don't know, right?" The rules you are talking about were also established at that time, and no one dared to break this rule for hundreds of years, because for hundreds of years, the ministers of the DPRK and China have all been men! ”

Only then did Sima Hongyan understand the reason why the ministers did not dare to speak.

Emperor Yanzhen continued: "But today I have a special case in Yanling, which is Sima Hongyan. She is a woman, and she is also the first female official in my Yanling for hundreds of years, so I'm afraid this rule has no effect on her, right? ”

The ministers looked at each other, and one of them boldly said, "Return to the emperor!" Although Sima Senling is a woman, there are many princes in the harem. I'm afraid that's not right either! ”

Sima Hongyan was immediately unhappy when he heard this, and couldn't help but say to the minister: "What do you mean, this lord?" Do you want to say that I will go to the harem to seduce the prince? ”
