Tang Queqing was full of joy and expectation, walked out of the East Palace, and rushed forward.

The stewards of the various departments and bureaus in the palace who stayed in the East Palace did not dare to stay, and each remembered what he had to do recently and left on his own.

Concubine Taisun is a benevolent person, and she has never lacked means.

said that the last time there was a banquet in the palace, the princess had greeted her in advance, but some people still wanted to fill their pockets. Afterwards, Concubine Taisun didn't say anything, just killed with a sentence, and there was a puddle of flesh and blood outside the Xuanwu Gate that night.

After this time, no one dared to treat this princess who was always kind to people on weekdays, but once something happened, it must be a thunderous means, and she had half a point of hypocrisy, and she was serious and attentive.

It is a long-standing practice in the palace to keep one or two hairs and one or two hairs and taels.

Since Concubine Taisun pointed out this point today, it means that she knows the reason for this incident, if someone still acts like this according to the usual practice, I am afraid that there will be another puddle of flesh and blood outside the Xuanwu Gate.

A few smart people are vaguely speculating that since the princess took over the affairs of the palace, she has never taken the initiative to mention any rules, I am afraid that she is just waiting to jump out one by one, so that she can use this to establish her prestige one by one and establish her prestige.

And Tang Queqing did exactly that.

On the way to the Qianqing Palace, Tang Queqing walked lightly.

Sun Gou'er followed behind him, reminding the princess to be careful at her feet from time to time.

This is the most noble woman in the palace, and no one dares to slack off.

Even the ladies on the harem, although they are elders, they are still a little polite on weekdays, lest they will annoy the princess in the long days to come, and they will live an uneasy life.

"Sun Daban, before the end of the year, I still have some things here that my grandson explained at the beginning, and they are not worth much, but they are all new things sent back from Jiaozhi Road, and when the time comes, Sun Daban can also take them home and give them a novelty to the children and nephews at home."

Sun Gou'er bowed down with a smile on his face: "The old slave is grateful to the grandson and the concubine, the nobles are all golden, and they can still remember the slaves and maids." ”

Tang Queqing walked gently and generously, with a graceful face: "What noble person is not noble, if it is not for Sun Da's companion to hold and protect you, where will the gold come from." ”

Sun Gou'er nodded, and the smile on his face was even bigger: "Your Majesty mentioned the slave maid again, if there is someone in the palace who has a suspicion, and the concubine is not good to come forward, she just asks someone to tell the slave maid, and the slave and maid will not have the slightest suspicion in this palace." ”

"In this palace and outside the palace, it is better to be harmonious." Tang Queqing always speaks slowly and logically, which makes people only feel benevolent: "If it weren't for the dignity and decency of the royal family, it would be better to be lenient." ”

Sun Gou'er smiled and nodded, but did not speak.

But he understood what Concubine Taisun meant.

The dignity and decency of the royal family cannot be broken, so the palace can only treat the people below with less leniency, but with more rules and laws.

Sun Gou'er thought for a while and said in a low voice: "Taisun came back with good news this time. The slave maid didn't understand the military politics, but I only heard that in about half a year, the grandson might come back. ”

Probably, perhaps, should.

None of them are definite words, affirmative sentences.

Tang Queqing's face still showed a smile: "As long as His Highness can be safe, it doesn't matter when he comes back." ”

"What the princess said is extremely true." Sun Gou'er echoed.

Tang Queqing smiled.

In the past few years in Ying Tiancheng, there is only one biggest truth and rule she has learned, no matter what happens, you have to keep the same expression on your face.

When Tang Queqing arrived at the Qianqing Palace, as soon as he arrived outside the palace gate, he heard a heated discussion inside, and there seemed to be some arguments.

Sun Gou'er entered the hall first, and it didn't take long for him to come out and invite Concubine Sun to enter.

When Tang Queqing walked into the main hall of the Qianqing Palace, he saw that in addition to the emperor and the crown prince, there were also several scholars from the cabinet.

Seeing that Concubine Taisun Tang Queqing arrived, Zhu Yuanzhang, who was still a little gloomy, suddenly showed a bright smile on his face.

"It's the soup girl here."

Tang Queqing pinched his hands and blessed his body: "See Your Majesty and the prince for the concubines." ”

The crown prince Zhu Biao nodded, looking at this daughter-in-law, there was always a look of importance and trust on his face.

Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at the cabinet scholars present, and then said to Tang Queqing with a smile: "The children are all in the side hall, you go and have a look first, and when I and the prince discuss the matter, the family will sit down to have a meal and talk about things." ”

The only people who were called into the Qianqing Palace today were the cabinet scholars.

Ren Hengtai, Xie Jin, Xu Yungong, and Zhai Shan, who were present, silently withdrew their original dispute over the government, and instead gave Tang Queqing, the princess, a polite and gentle smile.

After all, for today's Ming Dynasty, it is really rare to have a noble woman with a pure temperament and good conduct in charge.

His Majesty the Emperor has not set up a queen for many years, and he has a deep affection for Empress Xiaoci, and anyone with a discerning eye can see that the emperor will never make a queen again.

As for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, although no one dared to ask. But in private, people inside and outside the palace will always be concerned about this matter.

It's just that everyone has some vague guesses.

The crown prince of the Ming Dynasty is likely to never be a concubine for the rest of his life.

This also shows that in the next few decades of the Ming Dynasty, the supreme queen position will be vacant.

Tang Queqing, the princess, was born in a general's family, has a pure temperament, is gentle and elegant, graceful and luxurious, behaves decently, and balances everything internally and externally.

There is a saying that Taoism and everything is prosperous, and the Ming Dynasty will have a concubine Taisun in charge of the court in the next few decades, setting an example for women and children in the world, and it is a good candidate for the cabinet.

When Tang Queqing entered the side hall, he saw that the two inner palace grandmothers had already walked up to him with two little people from the Taisun Mansion in their arms.

Neither of them has a title now, and that is after the age of ten.

Mama stepped forward and said with a smile: "The son of the world has eaten enough today, and his feet are getting more and more powerful, and the slave and maid will be unable to stand steadily." ”

Tang Queqing glanced at his own son who was held in his mother's arms, but he just glanced at it, and then didn't move.

Instead, with a smile and love on her face, she hugged Zhu Lingling in the arms of another grandmother into her arms.

"Poria Cocos, you have to grow up quickly, Grandma and your Auntie can take you to dress up together, and let you be the best-looking little girl in Yingtiancheng."

Holding the little Zhu Lingling in his arms, Tang Queqing sat on the cushioned ground on the side and played with the daughter in his arms.

The Qianqing Palace has been improved many times by the old man.

For example, at the moment, half of the side hall is covered with soft cushions, and even at this time, the surrounding walls began to emit heat into the room, maintaining the temperature in the side hall at all times.

This also allows the two little people to crawl on the ground at will anytime and anywhere.

Tang Queqing held Zhu Lingling in his arms, and from time to time he carried the clothes that his daughter was wearing today, or expressed his opinions on Mama's braids.

The mother and daughter were having a lot of fun, Zhu Wensheng had been silently put down, and after staggering for a long time, he raised his head unsteadily and saw the position of his mother and sister clearly.

A smile appeared on Zhu Wensheng's fat face, and his originally round eyes immediately narrowed, and he let out a giggle.

He propped his hands on the ground and tilted his head, and his two little feet kicked hard.

Two out of three hits will kick into the air.

But Zhu Wensheng slowly climbed in front of his mother and sister.

"Ahh

Zhu Wensheng, who was tilting his head, shouted at his mother Tang Queqing, hoping to get his mother's attention.

It's just that at this moment, Tang Queqing is immersed in the joy of bringing his daughter.

Zhu Wensheng trumpeted his mouth twice, his eyes were a little puzzled, perhaps because he felt that his shouting was quiet.

"Ah......h

"Ahh

Zhu Wensheng's head was about to be unable to hold on, but he still screamed a few more times, and finally couldn't support it, and the whole person lay on the ground with his mouth open.

Tang Queqing finally found out that his son had come over at some point, and his brows furrowed.

stretched out his hand, and just pressed it on Zhu Wensheng's head that had just been raised again.

As soon as Tang Queqing's palm turned, Zhu Wensheng lay on the ground.

Lying down and changing her mother, Zhu Wensheng's face was a little anxious, and he began to scream ahhhhh

"Smack!"

At this time, Zhu Ling, who was put down by Tang Queqing, ran to the top of her brother's head with a grunt, and smashed it on Zhu Wensheng's head with a slap.

Zhu Wensheng's whole person was twitched, and his two eyes stared at his sister, full of doubts.

Probably a reaction.

After all, he is an unpopular persona.

Zhu Wensheng pouted his mouth, chrysalis on his ass, moved to the side, sat up and lowered his head and played with his two feet.

In the side hall, there is royal affection, and the mother and son are deeply affectionate.

Outside in the main hall, the atmosphere was a little solemn.

The Emperor was silent, keeping his favorite thing to do lately.

The affairs of the court were discussed by the cabinet first, and then decided by the prince, and finally he was in the middle to make the decision.

The focus of today's controversy is actually nothing, but every change in the imperial court will lead to countless changes in people and things, and the current cabinet is a very responsible combination, so disputes are often inevitable.

Zhu Biao sat on one side, looking at both sides to clarify their arguments, frowning slightly.

Ren Hengtai and Zhai Shan also frowned, neither of them wanted today's issue to take effect, or to be implemented later.

However, Xie Jin and Xu Yungong were in favor.

Now that the Hongwu New Deal has been implemented for almost a year, there are no new changes in the empire, and it can be more difficult than the implementation of the New Deal.

Zhu Biao patted the armrest and said softly: "The law of the national dynasty to take the public examination was originally born at the right time, to solve the restrictions of the court's materials, and to prevent one from becoming dominant."

At the beginning of this year, after the spring is set, the world's talents are summoned to take the public examination.

Now the grandson reported that he had asked Shanxi Daoxing to take the public examination in winter, so as to facilitate the appointment of local election officials.

There are advantages and disadvantages, but among them, it is necessary to take the national dynasty and society first. I thought it would be better for the cabinet to discuss it again and come up with a proper method. ”

Without Gao Yang stopping in the cabinet, many things can only be explained by Xie Jin's direct attitude.

The same is true of these days.

Xie Jin stood up first and said: "The local method of taking the public examination in winter is inherently good and bad, but the imperial court can't waste food because of sleep.

Local recruitment may be more prone to fraud, and it is bad for the place to be clean. Here, the imperial court can be limited, and the elected officials cannot be appointed to the original government, but must be transferred from Beppu as an official and transferred out of the province for three years.

The official position is limited to the political envoy below the prison secretary, below the inspector of the envoy department, below the governor of the government office, below the head of the state city, and below the master of the government office.

In this way, local conditions can be adapted to local conditions, so that the local government yamen will often have empty official vacancies, and no one will fill them. ”

Zhai Shan, the newly promoted cabinet scholar and the secretary of the ministry, frowned and said: "Your Majesty, this move is absolutely impossible. If this law is opened, although the official position is not high, but over time, the local government will inevitably become intertwined and clash with the country's current new policy.

The ministers and officials witnessed all kinds of things, and deliberated for the feeling. The minister has said that he can make up for the urgent shortage of local elected officials.

The cause of the current lack of officials in Shanxi Province, and the sudden things that come cannot be generalized by all the roads in the world.

The minister thought that when the spring of each year was opened, the court would take the talents of the world for the use of the heavenly court. Every year in winter, they divide the way and take the test, and avoid the candidates of this way.

In the spring of the following year, the candidates will be selected from all directions, and then they will set off to various places. In this way, the use of the world's election officials is in the hands of the imperial court, and His Majesty's holy judgment is determined, which can stabilize the world's society. ”

Xie Jin sighed silently in his heart.

If it weren't for the fact that the matter of taking the public examination in this winter was proposed by the imperial grandson, it would be absolutely impossible for him to show his support here.

Ren Hengtai and Zhai Shan's opinions on this matter are correct.

Xie Jin knew very well that with Zhai Shan's remarks, there was no need to say anything more about this matter.

Zhu Yuanzhang above, smiled, nodded and said: "Zhai Qing has lived in the Ministry of Officials for a long time, and he knows that the world is governed by officials, and what he says is serious, and he is seeking the country. There is also a reason why the grandson came to Shanxi in person, but he neglected the society in the world and issued an order to dismiss it. This time, the officials in the north patrol temporarily reside in the yamen of the various departments and officials in Shanxi Province, and wait for the imperial court to choose their talents this year, and they can go to work in the spring of next year. ”

"The ministers obey."

The Emperor's Judgment does not include objections.

Ren Hengtai and Xie Jin should be in unison.

Zhu Yuanzhang raised his eyebrows at this time and said: "That Gao Chunfeng played, King Yan privately led the soldiers and horses south, out of the vassal country, and into the east of Jin. Although there is my will, it is the first thing, the will is later, the Yan Fan is at fault, the merits and demerits cannot be offset, and I must punish the fourth child according to the law. What does the cabinet think about this matter? ”

When Zhu Yuanzhang finished speaking, he looked at Ren Hengtai and the others.

The four of them kept quiet in tacitly.

Because at this time, someone will speak for them.

Really.

The next moment, Zhu Biao, the crown prince on the side, stood up.

Zhu Biao arched his hand and bent over: "Father, the son thinks that even if the fourth child is wrong, it is a small mistake." In order to find the reason, the fourth child privately led the troops south into the eastern part of Jindong this time to protect the grandson of the Ming Dynasty.

In turn, the ministers thought that the court should still discuss lightly, or issue a decree to reprimand, or order him to repent and return to the saint with a pen. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang immediately snorted coldly.

He squinted and looked at the prince in front of him.

"What if one day the fourth child or someone else runs outside your Yingtian City with soldiers and horses?"
