Cai Yan, that is, Cai Wenji knelt quietly, and was taken aback by the astringent appearance of the Spirit Emperor, and couldn't stop worrying in his heart. "What's wrong with the Emperor? Will you want to take me as a concubine? ”

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty!" Mrs. Hu was shouting softly beside him.

"Huh?! Oooh! Emperor Ling woke up suddenly, and quickly cleared his throat to hide his embarrassment.

The little eunuch next to him respectfully accepted the holy decree handed over by Emperor Ling, and said: "Cai Yan received the decree: Fengtian transports, and the emperor summons and says: ...... Cai Yan is now the director of the Han Royal Printing House, with full authority to manage the printing of books......"

"Weichen took the order, thank you emperor!" Cai Wenji took the holy decree with both hands and held it tightly in her hands.

Suddenly, an untimely voice sounded: "Your Majesty, although Cai Wenji has the name of a talented woman, and there is no case of a female official in the court, Cai Wenji has entered the court as a minister, which is against the avenue!" ”

Emperor Ling was about to refute, but saw Cai Wenji turn towards the official.

Cai Wenji glanced at the official and said, "This lord, it seems that you still don't read much." There have long been records of female officials in "Zhou Li"; and the Empress Dowager of the Warring States Qin Xuan [mǐ] Eight Sons (芈月), in the 41st year of the dynasty; And the female officials of this dynasty, starting from the queen mother, to the queen, concubines, etc., are all female officials, how can it be said that there are no female officials? ”

"You-" The official was choked by Cai Wenji, "You are confusing the concept, how can you compare with the Queen Mother, you little woman?!" ”

Cai Wenji's big eyes looked innocent and looked at the official, "My lord, are the queen mother and queen a female official?" ”

"This ...... They are female officers! But the official didn't dare not tell the truth, because among the official positions of the imperial court, the queen mother, the queen, and the concubines did belong to the category of female officials, but they generally only managed the affairs of the harem.

"Since I am a female official, then I am also a female official canonized by the emperor, why is there no case of a female official? What's more, in this world, human beings are women except men, so why can't there be female officials? ”

"You ......," the official was speechless.

"Hahaha," Hu Guangda smiled and took Cai Yong's hand, "Lord Cai, you gave birth to a smart and clever daughter!" ”

"This government thinks that Cai Yan will definitely be able to do the job as the director of the Han Royal Press."

"The minister seconded the motion,"

"The minister seconded the proposal!"

"Good! The matter is settled, Director Cai, you go to the treasury to get 50,000 taels of silver, choose a place close to the palace, and build a printing house, I want you to print the first book within half a month! ”

Emperor Ling thought for a while, "The first book is the book of Chang Chengqing, "Li", the number is 30,000 copies, and each book is priced at half a tael of silver!" I have to take it back, and I am not allowed to owe a tael! ”

"Shhh After deducting various expenses, in addition to the 1,000 taels of tax paid to the national treasury, at least 5,000 taels of silver net profit!

When the ministers were inhaling for Emperor Ling's ability to make money, Emperor Ling named him again: "Lu Aiqing, Huangfu Aiqing, how is your training progressing now?" ”

The general Lu Zhi and Huangfu Song were listed at the same time.

Huangfu Song said: "Your Majesty, Weichen has promoted your new training method in the five battalions of soldiers and horses. Achieved good results. Just ......"

"Just what?" Emperor Ling asked.

"Your Majesty, the five battalions of soldiers and horses have not been given food for almost two months." Huangfu Song ignored Lu Zhi and shook his head and said straightforwardly.

"This is easy to do, the gold, silver, and 100,000 stone grain that I searched from the Xiao family last time, take out 100,000 taels of silver, and 50,000 stone of grain to supply you for military training. Is it enough? ”

When Huangfu Song heard this, he was very happy, and said again and again: "Enough is enough, thank you, Your Majesty!" ”

"Lu Aiqing, Huangfu Aiqing, I want you to expand the five battalions of soldiers and horses to 200,000 within three years! And it is 200,000 elite soldiers, who can be used as ten, can go to the battlefield, are not afraid of death, are not afraid of hardship, and I sacrifice my life to provide money and food! ”

Lu Zhi was puzzled and asked, "Your Majesty, now that all parties are very stable, why do you want to train so many elite soldiers in Luodu?" ”

Emperor Ling said: "Lu Aiqing, do you know that in three years, a huge war will be launched, affecting the eight major states of the Han Dynasty!" So I need to prepare early at this time. ”

Lu Zhi didn't believe it, "Your Majesty, are you exaggerating?" ”

Emperor Ling said: "Lu Aiqing, there is not a single lie in my words, and after three years, it will definitely come true." We are now fully prepared to prevent the war from coming out of nowhere. ”

Huangfu Song said: "Your Majesty, Weichen doesn't believe it!" ”

Lu Zhi: "Weichen doesn't believe it either!" ”

"Alas!" Emperor Ling sighed and said, "If the two Aiqing don't believe it, then I will talk about the eastern Qiang people in Liangzhou." Liangzhou Duan Cheng should have won a complete victory in this battle to exterminate the Qiang people, and the good news will soon reach the imperial court. ”

Huangfu Song said: "Although Duan Cheng is a general, he has the courage to resist this. However, it is estimated that it will take two years to win the battle with the Qiang. ”

After speaking, Huangfu Song explained: "Liangzhou is located in the west, mostly wilderness, the Qiang people are good at fighting in the wilderness and desert, and the Qiang people are fickle, surrender today and rebel tomorrow!" Therefore, it is more difficult for Duan Cheng to make contributions! ”

Emperor Ling stretched out his fingers and counted with his fingers, the scorching summer was about to pass, and Duan Cheng's military report of a great victory would arrive in these few days.

Therefore, Emperor Ling said: "Huangfu Aiqing, I am still optimistic about Duan Cheng!" ”

As soon as the words fell, he heard a shout outside the hall: "Great victory - Liangzhou Duan Cheng beheaded more than 38,600 enemy heads, captured more than 427,500 cattle, horses, sheep, mules, donkeys, and camels, and captured more than 10,000 enemy soldiers!" ”

As soon as the sound of the victory fell, a dusty herald soldier hurriedly entered the main hall and presented the Liangzhou good news with both hands.

Emperor Ling took the good news and couldn't help laughing.

Huangfu Song was stunned!

Lu Zhi's heart was extremely shocked, "Could it be that Your Majesty is really a star in the sky?" ”

Only Hu Guang was unfazed, as if the emperor should know this.

"It's worthy of being a true dragon emperor!" Hu Guang muttered silently in his heart.

"Quickly arrange the rest of the herald soldiers, and draft another draft to summon Duan Cheng into the capital to face the saint and reward the sergeants!"

......

"Your Majesty, you are really clever."

"Your Majesty, if you hadn't been sitting here, we wouldn't have believed that you had the ability to be an unpredictable prophet."

The ministers slapped Emperor Ling with a fart.

......

At this time, Lu Zhi and Huangfu Song began to believe what Emperor Ling said.

There must be a big war in three years! And it affects the eight states of Dahan!

But they couldn't figure out who would start this big war! Is it the Qiang? Impossible, just swept by Duan Cheng!

The Huns to the north? Or Xianbei in the northeast? But they can't invade the eight states of the Han Dynasty!

While the two were thinking, the court meeting had ended.

The ministers came out in a stream.

"Lord Lu, Lord Huangfu, why are you still standing here?" Zhang Yan smiled and patted the shoulders of the two people.

The two of them woke up suddenly, nodded apologetically at Zhang Yan, and hurriedly chased after the emperor: "Emperor, emperor!" ”

Emperor Ling stopped and looked at the two generals quietly.

"Your Majesty, who will invade us in three years?"
