Ye was furious, no one answered, and the heads of the ministers hung lower.

She looked at Wen Xinzhong, who was closest to her, and said, "Chun Yu chose such a person. Where is the rising sun, obviously the sun is setting, and my great prosperity and luck will be exhausted. ”

Wen Xinzhong was so shocked by Ye Qianhuai's momentum that he couldn't stand still, and when he heard Ye Qianhuai's last sentence, he knelt down with a thud and said, "Your Majesty is angry." ”

"I'm not angry, I'm sad." She turned to look at the ministers and said, "I'm sad that my great scenery is not virtuous, and no one is available. It's even more sad that the people are standing here, but their hearts are not here. ”

"All of you who can stand here today are all important ministers of my Dajing, and each of you has a heavy responsibility on your shoulders. But you have the money of the court, but none of you care about the court. Spring is only once every three years, only more than 100 people are taken at a time, and it costs so much effort to run a spring festival. In order to let talented people be used by the country, not to choose some people to come up to the corpse for vegetarian meals! ”

Ye Tianhuai paced slowly and said, "I want to ask you, seeing the top class of this branch like this, won't your heart hurt?" Won't you worry about the future of Dajing? You are all courtiers of the Great View, if the Great View is gone one day, do you still think you can be alone? ”

"This is the first time in my year and in the first dynasty that I have opened a department, and the first time it has been done like this, and it is still unanimously approved by the cabinet. If this is the case for the next time, what other courses will be opened? What kind of taxi? In my opinion, not only is the palace examination unnecessary, but even the scientific examination has been banned. ”

She said very slowly, but every word was clear, and she learned from the pain, so that Chaoshang was silent.

After she finished speaking, Chen Yuansi knelt down. Shousuke knelt down, and the others knelt down as well. The entire court knelt in the dark, but no one spoke.

Ye Tianhuai sighed and said, "Let's disperse." All the Qing went back and thought about it, is what they did worthy of the red robe and black yarn on their bodies? ”

With that, she brushed her sleeves away.

---

In Gyeongshou Palace.

Today, the emperor returned to Jingshou Palace. Aunt Fanghua saw at a glance that Ye Qianhuai was in a bad mood, so she dispersed the palace people, leaving her alone to wait by Ye Tianhuai's side.

Ye Qianhuai sat on the edge of the couch, and there was a low mahogany case on the couch, on which there was tea and some melons and fruits. Ye Tianhuai propped one hand on the low table, took a sip of tea from time to time, and flipped through a book with the other hand.

"What bird, so screaming?" After a while, Ye Qianhuai asked.

Aunt Fanghua was sweeping in the house, and when she heard Ye Tianhuai's question, she looked into the courtyard from the door and replied, "Your Majesty, listen to the voice of a magpie." I came to give your majesty a spring report. ”

"Let people drive away. It's annoying. Ye Qianhuai's voice came from inside.

Aunt Fanghua heard the impatience in her voice, and immediately put down the sprinkling utensils in her hand, and went to the courtyard to call someone to fetch the bamboo pole and drive away the magpie from the tree.

The magpie seemed to have made a nest in the courtyard, and was beaten with a bamboo pole, and only circled around a few times before flying back again.

When Aunt Fanghua was holding a bamboo pole to catch the magpie with a few palace maids, a series of footsteps suddenly sounded outside Jingshou Palace, and then there was a commotion at the palace gate.

"Gu Ge came over, why didn't anyone report it first?" Li Baoquan, who was waiting outside the palace, asked with a smile, he deliberately raised his voice.

"Is Your Majesty in there?" Gu Shihai asked straightforwardly, not politely with him.

Aunt Fanghua heard the conversation outside, and immediately handed the bamboo pole in her hand to the palace maid beside her, and she trotted into the back room.

Ye Qianhuai was still holding the book in his hand, his eyes fell on the book, but he didn't move for half a minute, obviously thinking about something.

Seeing Aunt Fanghua running in in a hurry, Ye Qianhuai raised his head and looked at Aunt Fanghua with an inquiring gaze.

"Your Majesty, Gu Ge is here." Aunt Fanghua gave a brief report and hurried out of the house again. While she was quickly tidying up her appearance, she walked quickly to the gate of the palace to greet Gu Shihai.

Gu Shihai had already entered Jingshou Palace, he was alone, still wearing court clothes, and it seemed that he had not returned home after the next court. Behind him were two guards with knives, looking at the clothes, the grade was not low.

"The slave has seen Master Gu." Aunt Fanghua took a few little palace maids to bow to Gu Shihai.

"Aunt Fanghua." Gu Shihai nodded to her, and then, when he saw the palace maid holding a bamboo pole by the tree and saluting him, he wondered, "What is this doing?" ”

"Looking back, my lord, the magpies in the trees are noisy, and the slaves and maids are chasing birds."

Gu Shihai was slightly stunned for a moment, and said with a smile: "Magpies often build nests in forked trees, and this tree hasn't been pruned for a long time." ”

He looked around at Jingshou Palace, but he looked a little like the chief inspector of Ouchi, and after seeing it, he said thoughtfully: "Speaking of which, this Jingshou Palace has not been repaired for several years. ”

With that, he walked quickly into the front hall.

As soon as he stepped through the door, two guards with knives stood outside the room, one on the left and one on the right, standing upright.

Aunt Fanghua and Li Baoquan exchanged a look, and both of them had worry in their eyes.

After Ye Tianhuai got the report, he had already come out of the inner room and sat on the main seat of the outhouse, waiting for Gu Shihai for a long time.

As soon as Gu Shihai entered the room, he saw the emperor sitting on the main seat waiting for him, he was not surprised, he made a scribbled salute to Ye Tianhuai, and without waiting for Ye Tianhuai to say no courtesy, he sat down on the side seat on Ye Tianhuai's left hand side.

Ye Qianhuai didn't accuse him of his arrogant attitude, she just stared at Gu Shihai tightly and didn't say anything.

Gu Shihai didn't look at Ye Qianhuai, but looked around at the furnishings in the house, and then picked up a spring peach from the fruit bowl at hand and looked left and right.

"It's cold this year, and the peaches in Zhongzhou can't grow well. There are spring peaches sent by Yingzhou 800 miles in an emergency, and when he returns to the house, the minister asks people to send a box to His Majesty. ”

After speaking, he looked at Ye Qianhuai with a smile, the smile did not reach the bottom of his eyes, and said: "The minister recently got a set of Cao Yin's early summer four scenes, I heard that His Majesty likes Cao Yin's paintings the most, and the minister will send them to the palace to enjoy His Majesty another day." ”

Ye Tianhuai listened to him say to himself, but he didn't respond, but his expression became colder and colder.

"There is also this Jingshou Palace, since the death of the first emperor, it has not been repaired for several years, and the minister said hello to the Ministry of Industry and asked them to repair it for His Majesty. If the household department says that there is no money, the minister will come to give His Majesty this money. ”

Ye Tianhuai looked into Gu Shihai's eyes, and finally couldn't help but ask coldly, "What does Gu Ge Lao want to say?" ”

Gu Shihai put down the spring peach in his hand, restrained his smile, looked at Ye Tianhuai, and asked, "Why does Your Majesty always think about reaching out to the court recently?" Is it not fun in the harem? ”

He looked at Ye Qianhuai, with a slight smile in his eyes, but his face was as cold as a knife. His voice was also cold and hard, like a rusty blade, scraping through Ye Qianhuai's heart.

Although Gu Shihai was born in a literary school, he spent a few years in the military when he was young, and even led a team to attack the enemy camp and capture the enemy's main general in the battle of Eagle's Nest City, and won the reputation of "Eagle's Nest Flying General". People who have killed people are different after all, and the murderous aura and pressure released from his body at this time made Ye Tianhuai's heart shocked, and he subconsciously grabbed the armrest of the wooden chair.

"What Your Majesty likes, you can tell your ministers. Even if it is a beautiful woman and a good wine, the minister can satisfy His Majesty. ”

She caught his coercion, a sneer hooked up at the corner of her mouth, and asked, "Gu Ge Lao lost a Shi Taiping, and now he is afraid of another Wen Xinzhong, so he came to say these words to me?" ”

Gu Shihai paused for a moment, and quickly sneered and said, "Your Majesty really thinks that Shi Taiping, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, was abolished because of His Majesty's early words?" ”

Ye Tianhuai wanted to open his mouth to refute, but he was speechless.

The Criminal Department of the Chun Fu Leak Case handled it vigorously and neatly, and it must have been instructed by Gu Shihai. According to Chen Yuansi's previous statement, Shi Taiping was only afraid that he secretly sold the exam questions behind Gu Shihai's back, so he annoyed Gu Shihai.

"The minister also wants to thank Your Majesty for this matter, if it weren't for Your Majesty, the minister wouldn't be able to see that Shi Taiping was already weak."

After he finished speaking, he turned his gaze to Ye Qianhuai, as if he wanted to see her annoyed and angry.

Ye Tianhuai was indeed angry in her heart, but she still maintained the calm on her face and asked, "I want to ask Gu Ge Lao, in your eyes, what kind of courtier is considered powerful?" Are all these people selected in this spring election effective? ”

Gu Shihai immediately replied: "What is useful is powerful." What is unbearable is ineffective. ”

"What does it mean to be usable?"

"It's obedient."

He replied straightforwardly, Ye Tianhuai suddenly felt ridiculous, she sneered, and said angrily: "Dajing Kaike is to select talents and talents, not to open the department to choose a family slave for you Gu Shihai!" ”

Under Ye Tianhuai's anger, Gu Shihai was indifferent, he looked at Ye Tianhuai with an indifferent expression, like looking at an unreasonable child, and said: "The court doesn't need so many brains and so many mouths, what the court really needs is someone who can do things." ”

Gu Shihai is obviously far from the emperor's concept, and he is not the same. Ye Tianhuai no longer argued with him, and asked with a smile: "Then if I can't be used, will Gu Ge Lao also replace me?" ”

She had already said this to the edge of the cliff, and even Gu Shihai was stunned for a moment, and said, "The minister didn't say such a thing. ”

"Then what if I have to meddle in the affairs of the previous dynasty?"

Gu Shihai narrowed his eyes slightly, he turned his head to look at Ye Tianhuai, there seemed to be annoyance, disdain, and curiosity in his eyes.

Ye Qianhuai didn't hide from looking back at him. She has known Gu Shihai for a few years, and when the court and ministers played right, the two looked at each other more than once. But at this time, Ye Tianhuai felt that this was the first time in Gu Shihai's eyes that he had seen her in such a long time.

For the first time, Gu Shihai had the existence of her as an emperor in his eyes.

"I'm afraid Your Majesty is bored. The government is not a playhouse in the harem, and it can be done by touching the upper and lower mouths. It is better not to bring humiliation on yourself. ”
