Palace.

The Hall of Politics.

The former government hall is where the current cabinet is located.

It is a large-scale courtyard building, and the main courtyard is the official office of the cabinet chief assistant Wen Zhuyu.

The west courtyard is the Shangshu province, and the eastern courtyard is the yamen of the Menxia province and the Zhongshu province.

Nian Chengfeng sat in the yamen of Zhongshu Province, put down the pen in his hand, put his frozen hands on the charcoal fire next to him and roasted them, then stood up, beat his sour old waist, and said goodbye to the Guozi priest winery who was sitting on the side:

"Tai Academy is leaving Kyoto, but next year's autumn will not be delayed because of him!"

"This matter is imminent, the three provinces have discussed and passed, and the first assistant has also signed the decision."

"The regent said before he left that the imperial examination is the top priority of the country!"

"We must achieve openness, fairness, and justice in the true sense!"

"So from now on, the original recommendation system is completely outlawed!"

"All the students have been selected through the scientific examination and entered the ranks, so this decision has to be sent to various places now, after all, students from remote places in Ningguo need to go a long way to come to Kyoto."

"The venue for next year's autumn festival will be held in Changle Palace...... It was a good place, and there were many, many empty houses for the students to live in, but the Gongyuan needed to be re-planned...... Huang Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry has gone to Changle Palace, so you don't have to worry about anything. ”

"As for the topic of the scientific examination, the regent has ordered one question, and the rest of the topics are still drawn up by your national eunuch, and next year's new year, all the people who propose the proposition will go to Changle Palace, and the regent said that the matter is very important, and such a major mistake of leaking the exam questions is absolutely not allowed."

"What other questions do you have?"

Zhuang Beishi bowed his hand: "The lower official has understood the meaning of the lord and the regent, but it is just ...... The selection of the person with this proposition was hand-picked by the emperor in the past, and if the emperor was not in the palace, he would have been appointed by Ji Tai, and now ......? ”

"This matter, when the year begins, the person who drafts the proposition in the provincial capital of Shangshu, you now convey the matter of next year's autumn to the various school palaces, so that the students of the school palaces in various places know, so that they can leave for Kyoto as soon as possible."

"Okay, the subordinate will receive the order!"

When Zhuang said goodbye, he retreated, and a small eunuch hurriedly walked in.

He came to Nian Chengfeng's face, bowed down and said, "Lord Nian, there is an old man named Qian Guodong outside who asks to see him, saying that he has something important to report to the adult in person!" ”

Nian Chengfeng was stunned, "Please let him in!" ”

"Slaves obey!"

After a while, Qian Guodong came to the yamen of Zhongshu Province, he looked at Nian Chengfeng and grinned, and bowed:

"Grow old and strong!"

Nian Chengfeng raised his hands, "You old thing, you live a comfortable life!" ”

"Hehe, this is only to blame your ability there, I also want to be able to exert a little more residual heat, but the regent can't look down on it!"

Nian Chengfeng's eyes glared, "Don't say this, there are still some vacant positions in the court, by the way, why don't you continue to go to the Criminal Department?" Wen Shoufu is worried about perfecting the constitution and not finding the ideal person! ”

"That's you!"

Nian Chengfeng stretched out his hand and pointed, "You old thing has been in the Criminal Department for twenty years, and you have been in Dali Temple for more than ten years, and you are proficient in the law, it is estimated that no one in the court can beat you!" ”

Qian Guodong was stunned for a moment.

His heart was beating a little fiercely!

But he quickly calmed down, and his face became serious: "But I didn't come to see you for this!" ”

"Why is that?"

"Have you heard any rumors about the Lord Regent and his daughter in Kyoto lately?"

Nian Chengfeng frowned, pondered for a moment, and stretched out his hand: "Come, sit!" ”

The two sat down at the tea table.

Nian Chengfeng boiled a pot of tea, and then nodded, "This rumor was there a few days ago, and Wen Shoufu suggested that the regent send the Imperial City Division to find out the person who spread the rumor...... But the regent didn't care. ”

Qian Guodong leaned over and asked in a low voice, "So, is this true or false?" ”

"It's true!"

Qian Guodong was taken aback, and then heard Nian Chengfeng say again: "There is indeed a girl next to the regent, and she is indeed Xi Wei's daughter, this is true." ”

"But rumor has it that the regent and Xi Wei conspired to steal the country...... This is nonsense! ”

"Xi Wei is dead!"

"Everyone knows that the regent did not ascend the throne as emperor."

Now he proposes to change the governance of the country from the rule of man to the rule of law, and he advocates placing the imperial power under the law...... Think about it, if he is trying to steal the kingdom, what he needs is the supreme authority, how can he let that power be restrained? ”

Nian Chengfeng poured Qian Guodong a cup of tea, and said: "Too many people don't know him too well, in fact, I didn't know him before. ”

"Originally, I didn't plan to be an official again at this age, originally I recommended Wen Zhuanyu to him."

"But these days, I accompanied Wen Zhuanyu to listen to him talk about the idea of governing the country for a few days...... I admit it, he is the lamp of Ningguo! ”

"That's why my heart is alive, and I hope that I can make a modest contribution to the realization of his ideals, but in fact, there is also selfishness in my heart!"

"Old money!"

Nian Chengfeng said earnestly: "This is a great change! ”

"Once successful...... Those of us who participated in this revolution may be able to go down in history for centuries! ”

"When people live, at our age, isn't it just for a name?"

"If you can make some contribution to the revision of the Constitution, your name will be passed down through the ages along with the Constitution!"

Qian Guodong was thrilled.

"This ...... Then I have to ask you to recommend Wen Shoufu! ”

"Let's go now!"

"Wait a minute, I still think the rumors in the market need to be taken seriously!"

Qian Guodong stretched out his finger and knocked on the table: "Old man, think about it, there is no wind and no waves!" ”

"I think it's a huge hidden danger that should not be underestimated!"

"The common people don't know that these measures of the regent are for the great cause of Ningguo, they are uneducated, and they will be easily instigated!"

"Besides, they have a very strong concept of Jun in their bones, which is a deep-rooted concept that has been passed down for thousands of years!"

"Although Xi Wei is dead, Xi Wei's reputation is extremely bad among the people!"

"Now his daughter is with the regent, it is said that ...... It is said that the relationship is still very close, not to mention what the common people will think of the regent, I am worried that people with ulterior motives will take advantage of this rumor! ”

"For example...... Mutiny on the grounds of the Restoration Chamber! ”

"For example...... The people in the rivers and lakes were instigated by it to launch an assassination of the regent! ”

"The regent doesn't live in the palace, he lives in the plum garden, although the plum garden is not far from the palace, but this is the most dangerous part of the road!"

"I suggest that the regent draw a line with the daughter of the Emperor...... Let the regent move to the palace to live! ”

Nian Chengfeng's face also became serious, "I'm afraid it's difficult to draw this line, besides...... The regent has left Kyoto! ”

"What?!"

Qian Guodong was suddenly anxious:

"He's the regent! How could he leave Kyoto so easily! ”

"Isn't this risking your life?!"

Nian Chengfeng spread his hands and said helplessly: "Just because he is the regent, we can't control him!" ”

"Let's go, I'll take you to see Wen Zhuyu, and then I'll go to the Imperial City Division to find Wang Zhengjinzhong, the deputy of the Imperial City Division."

"It's better for the Imperial City Division to handle this matter!"

The two of them went to the main courtyard.

And at this moment, in the Imperial City Division, Wang Zhengjin Zhongzheng dug out a pitch-black wooden box from under the crooked neck tree.

He cautiously opened the wooden box.

For a moment, a big surprise!
