Song Xuan was not angry about Song Lian's dissatisfaction, but patiently explained.

"If I wasn't the emperor, I would naturally feel unfair. But there is no way, from my point of view, I don't want to pass a imperial examination, so that the Wu Dynasty, which is finally unified, will be divided because of this.

The provinces south of the Yangtze River are the territory of the Wu Dynasty, and similarly, the northern part of the Central Plains is also the territory of the Wu Dynasty. ”

Song Lian was silent, and finally bowed and said, "It's that the minister's pattern is not enough, and I hope Your Majesty will forgive you!" ”

Song Xuan waved his hand and said: "Deliberation is deliberation, there is no forgiveness of sins!"

Let's discuss this matter here first, and then you go back and think about it, is there any way to maintain the fairness of the imperial examination without hurting the feelings of students in Jiangnan and Beidi!

Think it through, let's talk about it tomorrow! ”

Song Xuan's side naturally has a way, for example, Zhu Yuanzhang, the Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, specially set up two examinations in the north and south, and the students in the south of the Yangtze River and the students in the north did not interfere with each other and took the imperial examination independently.

But Song Xuan didn't say this method, he didn't want his important ministers to rely too much on himself as the emperor for everything.

He is the emperor, and he is also an innate martial artist, for Song Xuan today, state affairs are very important, but cultivation is also very important.

Thinking about problems and finding ways to solve them was what the Manchu civil and military needed to do, and he, as the emperor, only had to make the final decision at the last minute.

If you need to worry about everything, then what do you need civil and military officials to do?

Does he still want to cultivate?

......

That night, Song Xuan stayed in Kunning Palace, and fell asleep after an in-depth exchange with Zhou Zhiruo.

On the second day of the court, Song Xuan issued two orders.

The first is the Reclamation Order.

All ownerless wasteland, the people can open up the wasteland on their own, and the land is exempted from all kinds of taxes within five years, and the local government needs to handle the land deed for the people as soon as possible, and it is not allowed to obstruct it for any reason.

The second is the order to suppress bandits.

Although the Wu Dynasty was unified, bandits, thieves and some rebel leaders who were unwilling to try to become kings still existed, and these forces could not shake the rule of the Wu Dynasty, but for the local people, it was definitely a terrifying force that made people unable to live with peace of mind.

The order to suppress bandits is to order the military department to come up with a suitable plan as soon as possible to solve these bandit problems as soon as possible, so as to ensure that the people's spring plowing will not be affected after the beginning of spring this year.

The two decrees were issued, and none of the officials dared to raise objections.

Some things can be sprayed, but some things really can't be sprayed.

Like this kind of holy decree directly issued by His Majesty, and it is also an important matter related to Sheji, whoever dares to come out and spray at this time, His Majesty will definitely reward him with a special experience of a day trip to Tsing Yi Wei Prison.

Tsing Yi Wei has now become an independent institution, directly under His Majesty, and is not linked to any department in the court.

In the past, Tsing Yi Wei was mainly external, but with the accession of His Majesty to the throne, this institution has been transformed into a sword hanging over the heads of the ministers.

The officials who died in Tsing Yi Wei Prison because of corruption and oppression of the people are no longer one or two.

For Tsing Yiwei, Li Shanchang, Liu Bowen and other important ministers have been sparse more than once, wanting to abolish this spy agency that is free from the court, but unfortunately, His Majesty the Emperor, who has always been good at listening to the opinions of courtiers, has an extremely firm will this time.

No matter who is sparse, they will not be sent, in a word,

If you want to ban Tsing Yi Wei, that's impossible!

Not only is it impossible, His Majesty has even continued to expand the scale of the Tsing Yi Guard, and constantly draw elite soldiers from the army to supplement the Tsing Yi Guard, so that the power of the Tsing Yi Wei can radiate to all counties and towns in the world.

For a time, the sixth leader of the Tsing Yi Wei became the living king of Hades who was afraid to avoid hundreds of civil and military officials.

.....

After the next dynasty, Empress Zhou Zhiruo and the two imperial concubines accompanied Song Xuan to hang out in the imperial garden.

A few people were playing casually, and unconsciously came to the outside of Chuxiu Palace, and from a distance, a group of brightly dressed women were kneeling on the ground to greet them.

Looking at the group of women in front of him, there were as many as hundreds of people, Song Xuan was a little surprised.

"Where did so many women come from?"

As he spoke, he looked at Zhou Zhiruo and the others and teased: "What, you guys suddenly discovered that your conscience wants to open a big harem for us?" ”

There are hundreds of them at once, this workload is a bit large, even if he is an innate martial artist, he can't withstand it!

Zhou Zhiruo turned his head to the side speechlessly, Xiao Zhao covered his mouth and snickered on the side, only Liu Qinglian was not afraid, and whispered on Song Xuan's chest: "It's not that it can't be opened, the key is that your waist can withstand it?" ”

Song Xuan stared at her, the two of them stared at each other, and finally Emperor Song coughed dryly and turned his gaze to the side.

He really didn't dare to say that his waist could withstand it, otherwise Liu Qinglian, the little goblin, would definitely dare to pull him to inspect the goods on the spot.

"By the way, you haven't answered yet, where did these women come from, why don't I remember that there are so many women in the palace?"

Zhou Zhiruo said helplessly: "Senior brother, how much do you care about the affairs of the harem, didn't the eunuch who served you say that there are still a group of concubines of Emperor Yuan Shun left in this harem?" ”

"Huh?"

Song Xuan was stunned.

If you want to talk about this, then I'm interested!

"What's the situation, even if Emperor Yuan Shun runs away, he won't leave his wife and children behind, right?"

"He really missed it!"

Zhou Zhiruo pointed to the women who were kneeling on the ground and trembling, and sighed: "Emperor Yuan Shun estimates that he doesn't know how many concubines he has. At that time, the main force of the Yuan army was defeated in Huizhou, and the Ming army was rapidly approaching Dadu, and Emperor Yuan Shun ran away in a bit of a hurry, and it is understandable that some concubines were missed.

Of course, those who can be forgotten here must be some who are not favored, and some are defeated in the harem battle and are beaten into the cold palace.

I only found them yesterday when I was patrolling the Sixth House. ”

Song Xuan sighed, his eyes constantly roaming over everyone.

"Brother, what's so beautiful about these broken flowers and willows!" Seeing that Song Xuan's eyes seemed to be a little wrong, Liu Qinglian hurriedly whispered in his ear: "Whatever my brother wants to play, I can satisfy it, let's not provoke others, okay?" ”

"Good!"

Song Xuan smiled and withdrew his gaze.

No wonder Emperor Yuan Shun didn't take them with him when he ran away, from Song Xuan's point of view, most of these concubines of the former dynasty were in their thirties, or even older.

Perhaps because they have been unfavored for a long time or even put into the cold palace, although they are brightly dressed, their faces are not very good, and they look very haggard.

It's no wonder that Liu Qinglian calls them broken flowers and willows, but none of them can catch the eye.
