"Your Majesty doesn't like women to participate in court affairs?" Yun Jin asked cautiously.

Li Zhi smiled: "I really don't like women to become officials in the court, but I will allow women to achieve their desire to become officials in the court through unremitting efforts in self-improvement." ”

Yun Jin was puzzled and said, "Why is this?" ”

Li Zhidao: "After a person is excellent to a certain extent, it doesn't matter so much whether he is a man or a woman. ”

"Your Majesty is wise."

Li Zhi glanced at Yun Jin and said, "You are still not as good as your father after all." ”

Yun Jin nodded and said, "This is natural. ”

Li Zhi said: "It is common for everyone's clan to be inferior to the next generation, and it seems that your Yun clan is not exempt from vulgarity." ”

Yun Jin said: "The only way to do this is to work hard." ”

Li Zhi shook his head and said: "Working hard can only reach a certain height, if you want to reach the peak, you are born with such ability, you have it, and you are born without it."

You're that kind of person, and you're far from that. ”

Yun Jin said a little unconvinced: "Is it related to Weichen's young age?" ”

Li Zhi shook his head and said, "No, you are far from your Aye......

Just when the emperor was chatting with Yun Jin, Shangguan Wan'er also came to Shangyang Palace under the guidance of Taiping.

Shangguan Wan'er, who broke away from the Yun family, took off her gorgeous dress and showed it in front of Wu Mei, she was a very ordinary little girl, Wu Mei saw that she had been staring at herself, so she smiled and said, "Hate me not to die?" ”

Shangguan Wan'er bowed to the ground and said, "No." ”

Wu Mei smiled and said to Shangguan Wan'er: "Your Azu died at the hands of this palace, you Aya died at the hands of this palace, and your entire Shangguan clan died at the hands of this palace, even if you hate this palace, it is human nature." ”

Shangguan Wan'er kowtowed and said: "My Azu died in the struggle for power and profit, my Aya died in the struggle for power and profit, my Aya died in too high expectations, and my whole clan died in greed, and they all died as they deserved, so there is nothing to resent." ”

Wu Mei said: "This palace has heard that the crow has the grace to feed, and the lamb has the ability to kneel to the milk, why would you give up hatred easily for your father and ancestors?" Is you filial piety? ”

Shangguan Wan'er said: "The avenue is facing the sky, and it is close at hand, so naturally I have no time to take care of the trail." ”

Wu Mei laughed and said: "My Tang Dynasty founded the country with benevolence and filial piety, but you say that benevolence and filial piety are small paths? ”

Shangguan Wan'er said: "Filial piety is divided into big and small, and those who practice great filial piety are not informal. ”

Wu Mei said in surprise: "What is your great filial piety?" ”

Shangguan Wan'er said: "The ancestors of the connoisseurs can do it, and the father of the Yao family has not been able to show off. ”

"Just you?"

Shangguan Wan'er bowed down again and said in a low voice: "As long as Her Royal Highness the Queen is willing to use me, it is not difficult to complete such a great filial piety." ”

Wu Mei smiled: "That's true, but what do you use to thank Bengong, or rather, what do you have to make Bengong look at you with blue eyes?" ”

Shangguan Wan'er knelt up straight, looked into the queen's eyes and said: "The little girl naturally took out something that satisfied the queen, however, the words of the prince made the little woman feel that she could satisfy the queen and give the little woman a place to live." ”

Wu Mei laughed silently.

"It seems that it was not Yun Chu who expelled you from the house, but you left the Yun clan voluntarily."

Shangguan Wan'er said: "The Yun family is a splendid box for the little woman, in this box, the little girl will definitely live a stable, rich and happy life in this life, even in the future, the prince and his wife will definitely find a good husband for the little woman to spend her life with."

However, such a day is not what the little woman wants. ”

Wu Mei looked at Taiping and Ying Wang Xian and Yu Wang Dan who were whispering not far away, and then said: "What did Yun Chu say, so that you have such an illusion." ”

Shangguan Wan'er said: "The prince said that the reason why the queen and the prince are at a disadvantage in the struggle for power is that the queen is a woman, and all she can seize is the young eunuch and the royal inner mansion yamen, and the magistrate who is really in charge of the herdsmen, even if he can be collected by the queen, it is only an expedient measure, and he will not be loyal."

The prince also said that the army is not inferior to the queen, and the magistrates do not belong to the queen, so no matter how powerful the queen is, she cannot be stabbed to the end, and the queen's strong strength cannot be truly implemented......

Wu Mei listened to Shangguan Wan'er's words, not only was she not angry, but said with a smile: "Didn't Yun Chu say how to deal with it? ”

Shangguan Wan'er said: "The prince said that the queen is the mother of the world, and half of the people in the world are women, and these ladies and women should be born to belong to the queen."

The prince also said that if the queen can't include the most intelligent women in the world into the court, then, no matter how strong the queen is, she will eventually end up in a secluded palace. ”

Wu Mei laughed and said, "A woman is an official? You just listened to a few jokes from Yun Chu, and left the Yun clan in a hurry to join the palace? ”

Shangguan Wan'er said: "When the eldest brother Yun Jin broke the southwest barbarians, the men of the southwest barbarians were rogues, and they dominated them from the east all the way to the end of the southwest.

The little woman thought that this was a very good opportunity, and if the queen could send female officials to rule the villages full of women and children in the southwest at this time, Her Royal Highness would harvest the first batch of female magistrates with practical herding experience.

The little woman is not talented, and she is willing to become the first batch of female officials of Her Royal Highness the Queen to enter the southwest land. ”

Wu Mei looked at Shangguan Wan'er in surprise and said: "This is the reason why you left the Yun Clan, right, but this palace heard that the southwest land is full of smoke and miasma, and you are not afraid of dying there as soon as you go to the southwest as an official?" ”

Shangguan Wan'er said: "The little woman asks for a big one, so she is naturally not afraid of danger. ”

Wu Mei waved her hand and said, "Go, Rong Bengong thinks about it." ”

When Shangguan Wan'er left, she was once again full of hope and said, "This is the most important thing that a little woman can do for the queen." ”

Wu Mei didn't answer, but Taiping hugged Wu Mei's arm and said, "Queen Mother, a woman is an official, how majestic." ”

Wu Mei just smiled and didn't respond to Taiping.

It wasn't until her two sons and one daughter left Shangyang Palace that Wu Mei whispered to the female official who was waiting beside her: "Wu Chenghei, Wu Sansi went to Chang'an, and the Yun family stuffed a little woman who had a feud with the palace to me, go check it out and see what Yun Chu's purpose is." ”

Yun Chu stood in the courtyard, raised his hand to pick up a piece of charred black dust from the air, and could vaguely distinguish that this was a leaf, this leaf was not burnt, but scorched, and then fell to Luoyang City with the wind.

It stands to reason that when a large wildfire breaks out, it will change the local climate, and the dust in the air will increase, which will lead to a rainfall.

It's a pity that Beibi Mountain has been burned very badly, and the rain still hasn't fallen.

It can be seen that the moisture content in the air is very low.

When it was dark, the husbands shouted over and over again, "It's dry, be careful of the candles." Their voices were dry, not watery at all.

Yun Chu said to Yu Xiurong: "The weather this year is too abnormal. ”

Yu Xiurong said: "After June, the rain has not fallen. Husband, is God going to roast the people to death? ”

Yun Chu said: "The north side is also very dry this year, and Juyanhai flows backwards into the Heihe River, half of which has dried up. The drought in Dunhuang, the Shule River was cut off, the pastures were reduced compared to previous years, large swaths of poplar forests in Ganzhou died, and the last herdsmen in Loulan left.

I'm worried that if this continues, there will be another war in the Western Regions because of the grasslands and oases. ”

Yu Xiurong poured Yun Chu a cup of tea, leaned on him and said: "The world is chaotic, but there are two kinds of natural disasters and man-made disasters, but now, man-made disasters have decreased, but natural disasters have increased, doesn't this God plan to let people live a good life?" ”

Yun Chu sighed and said, "It's not up to anyone at all." ”

Yu Xiurong said again: "Husband, the southwest seems to be pretty good. ”

Yun Chu said: "The reason why the southwest land is not bad is that it has just lost 300,000 people, and under the vast and sparsely populated land, life will be better anyway." ”

"Can you achieve your goal?"

"It can be achieved, the queen is now sitting in the city of sorrow, there is a breakthrough point, she will definitely go all out, although there are not many talents among the hundred and ten North Gate Bachelors, but they still have the ability to mix in the southwest."

"Emperor, the crown prince will not leave the position of herdsman official to the empress."

"Therefore, the queen can only send a few female officials to do an experiment first."

"The husband has already paved the way for the child, but I don't know if this child can come out in a different way."

Yun Chu said with a smile: "It must be possible, if even she can't do anything well among the women, other women won't be able to do it, and there is Guangji who enters the southwest with her, and her success is very high." ”

"Eleven years old, Gan Luo is only at this age when he is the prime minister."

"No way, since I picked her off the horns, she is destined to be different from the woman next to her, and she can only earn her own life and earn her future."

"Do you want to betrothal this child?" Yu Xiurong suddenly said to Yun Chu with a radiant look.

"With the birds?"

"Yes, husband, you have also seen that the little bird is a lazy person, although he is smart, he is not willing to work hard and may not have a good life in the future, the concubine is a capable person, marrying into the door, is a good helper for the little bird."

Yun Chu shook his head and said: "Don't, marriage really depends on marriage, they like each other in the future, we don't stop us if we want to be together, if there is no fate, then the road is up, go one side of the road, if you have to get together, God knows what the result will be." ”

Yu Xiurong sighed and said, "The things that should be arranged by the husband in Luoyang should have been arranged, when will we go back to Chang'an?" ”

Yun Chu said: "When the emperor finishes reviewing what I have done recently, we will be able to go back to Chang'an, speaking of which, in Chang'an, we can summon some conspiracies, after all, this is at the foot of the Son of Heaven, and everything will fall in the eyes of the emperor."

Back in Chang'an, there is no such a good opportunity to use intrigue and trickery.

It's too tiring to do things openly. ”
