The edict of pardon for the world was officially announced, and finally it was forwarded by the major mansions of Haidu City) on the headline of the E page, for the calm Haidu people, the amnesty of the world and their relationship is not big, after all, the prisoners are only a few, but the news that the queen is pregnant makes people happy, since the people can meet a good emperor is a very fortunate thing, if you accidentally live in the troubled times of human life, it will be a bad disaster, many people for the late Ming Dynasty rebellion and the Manchu Qing Dynasty when the pain of the customs is still fresh in memory, so the stability of the country is very cherished. **

The cornerstone of the country's stability in addition to the monarch is virtuous, not in the face of famine, there are many factors, the prince is one of the most important factors, the new emperor married when he gave many people a lot of hope, hoping that His Majesty would give birth to a prince early, and the empire's society can continue, in order to protect the hard-won life now, but left and right, after a full year there is no movement, and now the emperor is finally going to give birth, although I don't know whether it is a prince or a princess, but one thing is enough to make everyone excited, That is, His Majesty is different from the Emperor of the Apocalypse who gave birth to three sons early and never gave birth again, and there is no need to worry about civil strife because of the issue of heirs in the future. 、

Then many people began to pay attention to a tofu-sized announcement that the emperor was going to name his future children. This is a sensational anecdote, the names of the prince and the princess were actually proposed by the people, if they can be selected, what a glorious thing it will be, some of the conceited scholars who have nothing to do all day long look at the eyes of the red, for a while, the literati and ink writers of the teahouse and wine shop no longer chant poetry and make a right, anyway, they can't chant a flower, many people began to exhaust their hearts and minds, and organize various words from time to time, in order to be able to win the lottery and become famous all over the world in one fell swoop.

For a time, the entire Haidu City was tense, every scholar was like a great enemy, constantly testing other people's answers, in order to find inspiration to win the championship, this seemingly simple naming movement is tantamount to a national imperial examination, even more tragic than the imperial examination, because the imperial examination is also divided into one and two first, although the number of places is limited, but there are also a lot, especially after the new first emperor created the civil servant imperial examination, there are more places admitted every year, and there are only two leaders in this battle, and there is no limit to the number of participants, Whether you are a university scholar or a farmer and craftsman, you can participate, and two out of tens of millions of people stand out, this is definitely the most thrilling competition.

…………………………………………………………………………

At this time, the Yamen of the Ministry of Rites is also crowded, everyone holds a famous post and rushes to visit relatives and friends, don't be surprised, the habit of the Han people to go to the back door has been accumulated for thousands of years, opportunistic even in the future generations after a few hundred years are still repeatedly banned, not to mention that today, due to the number of people who offer advice, all suggestions must be selected by the Ministry of Rites, therefore, some people who have some relationships in the Ministry of Rites or have no confidence in themselves think of ways to drill into the Yatang of the Ministry of Rites. Anyway, if you go through this kind of back door, you are not afraid of the verification of the North and South Zhenfu Division, this is originally a festive thing, and no one will be held accountable if you think about it, anyway, no matter how bad your name is, the emperor can just laugh at it.

The Ministry of Rites was originally a very deserted yamen, and it was a place to raise the age, but now it has become a fragrant bait, the officials are a little excited, but more are afraid, more than a dozen officials at the door maintain order in front of the door, but there are still bold people rushing in, and everyone is the eldest brother's call, and the Ministry of Rites suddenly does not know how many more relatives.

"Cabinet Minister Mu Tianbo and Grandpa Mu have arrived!" Tong Gong thought about it, only to see a team of people appear on the street corner in the distance, and the 'relatives' at the door stopped making trouble, and took a few steps back, who hasn't heard of Grandpa Mu's reputation? Who dares to be presumptuous in front of his old man, not to mention that this matter is a little disgraceful.

The people stopped, Mu Tianbo got out of a carriage in the middle, since the repair of the road in Haidu was completed, the sedan chair has gradually faded out of people's field of vision, and the officials have gradually become accustomed to the carriage as a means of transportation.

"Ahem......" Mu Tianbo kept coughing, his face didn't seem to be very good, a little red, he tried his best to show a majestic appearance, glanced around, and the crowd around him made way for him.

"What's going on? Before the court, it was boiling, and I was not afraid of someone laughing at it. Mu Tianbo's tone did not mean to blame, but many people couldn't help but blush, and the name card in his hand shrank back.

"Lord Mu. The people were very attentive to the names of the prince and princess. Therefore, they have come to ask the adults of the Ministry of Rites to be accommodating. In order to be able to obtain the emperor's land. "There was a local official of the Ministry of Rites who came over with a water and fire stick on his head full of sweat and water. I also felt that the water and fire stick in my hand was too much of an eyesore in front of Master Mu. I had to shrink the stick behind my back.

"yes. Oh, yes. The emperor looks down on the small people. The villain meditates at home. Finally came up with a great name.

Enough to listen to the heavens. For the emperor to choose. A scholar nodded in response to the crowd. I feel a lot more courageous. Dude is a great good citizen.

"Oh? That's what happened. Mu Tianbodi's face softened a lot. Another cough. Walk up the small steps of the Yamen of the Household Department. He said loudly: "You all serve the emperor's heart." Mu was deeply impressed. It's just that the state has its own laws. If you come up with a great idea, you can lead to normal channel delivery. There is something wrong with making a fuss in front of the yamen of this Ministry of Rites. Self-denial is the only way to get back on the courtesy. If only everyone were like that. Aren't the officials of the Ministry of Rites embarrassed? All right. Everyone dispersed. Discussion boxes have been placed on every street corner. You can drop it out there. ”

Mu Tianbo's words are obviously still in use. The crowd erupted, "Yes." Then they dispersed. Walk the ground and run it clean.

Mu Tianbo entered the hall of the Ministry of Rites. The hall official hurriedly came over to greet him. said with a smile: "Grandpa Mu hasn't come to inspect for a long time. Please come into the ear room and drink a cup of tea. I don't know if there is any official business to be handed over to the Ministry of Rites? If so. The next official will go to cook. ”

Mu Tianbo said: "It's nothing, just take a look." Then he raised his leg and entered the ear room on the side of the lobby, and the hall official followed him in, and asked someone to prepare tea. Mu Tianbo blew on the tea foam, raised his head and asked, "Isn't Lord Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites worthy of the hall today?" ”

The official hurriedly said: "Lord Shangshu has gone to collect the discussion box, I'm afraid it will take a while to come back, if the lord is in a hurry, the next official will let people go to tell you." ”

Mu Tianbo shook his head and said, "No need, I'll sit and go."

”

The official was very strange in his heart, this Grandpa Mu is a person who has a lot of opportunities, and he can't spare time on weekdays because of official business, how did he come to the Ministry of Rites to sit down today, he really couldn't guess the reason, so he had to say: "My lord sit down, if you have any orders to do it immediately." "After speaking, I will go back to the lobby to be on duty, according to the new Ming law, all the halls on duty are not allowed to leave the yatang half a step, the north and south town Fu Division will send people to spot check at any time, if someone makes a mistake, they will report to the merit examination department, which is very affecting the career, therefore, the hall official does not dare to stay in the ear room longer, although Grandpa Mu is the first assistant of the cabinet, but he can't manage the north and south town Fu Division, by these two yamen recorded the file, Grandpa Mu may not be able to keep it.

As soon as the official turned around, Mu Tianbo behind him couldn't help but put down the teacup and shouted: "Come back!" ”

The official had no choice but to turn around, not knowing what was going on with this Shoufu University scholar today, and hurriedly said, "Do you have any orders?" ”

Mu Tianbo calmed down, finally stood up, took out a fold from his sleeve, stuffed it into the palm of the hall official, and said very embarrassedly: "The old man has nothing to do, and he also came up with a name, cough cough, this, you see if it is feasible, if it is feasible, report it to the emperor." Okay, Mu is busy with official business, so he won't delay anymore. ”、

Waiting for the hall official to react, Mu Tianbo had already walked out quickly, leaving only the hall with a stunned face, what is the matter, the first assistant scholar of the hall also walked through the back door? With his status, even if he proposed it in front of the emperor, it was not a big deal, yes, the hall official sorted out his thoughts, I am afraid that it is inconvenient for Grandpa Mu to say it in front of the emperor, if the emperor adopts it, it will be equivalent to making many people busy in vain. If the emperor doesn't accept it, Grandpa Mu's face will not look good. But I don't feel at ease when I go to the discussion box, for fear that I will be brushed down in the first round, so I simply come to this back door, which can be regarded as fair competition.

The official smiled secretly and walked out of the ear room, and a familiar figure appeared in his eyes again, and it was not anyone else who stepped into the threshold, but Yang Side, a cabinet scholar, who saw him look careless, looking left and right, as if he had come to inspect the yatang.

"What's the matter today, the two scholars are coming one by one." The cousin thought to himself and went to greet him again. Yang Side waved his hand, only saying that he was looking at it casually, and the hall suddenly thought, Lord Yang can't be the same as Grandpa Mu, right? Today was a lot of fun.

Sure enough, Yang Side, who had been on the shelf for a while, finally stabbed for a long time, stuffed a piece of paper into the hand of the hall official, and said in a low voice: "The old man thought of a few names for the prince, cough cough, this one, if you think about it in your spare time, I will show you the Ministry of Rites first, if you think it can still be eye-catching.............................." Yang Side raised his leg halfway through his words: "Okay, Lord Ben is just here to go around, and the Ministry of War still has some important matters to deal with, let's go." ”

Yang Sidee turned around, and with his hands behind his back, he took a few cabinet guards very majestically.

The official held the paper balls of the two adults in his hands, and his palms were sweaty, and then he laughed and sat back on the chair. ……………………………………………
