Both excerpts were brought by Li Congyuan, a scholar of the Ministry of Officials and a scholar of Wuyingdian University.

After circulating among the ministers, he finally returned to the imperial case.

The young emperor sitting on the throne tapped his fingers lightly on the fold, the sound was not loud, but it was more thrilling than the winter thunder outside.

Promoting the entry of female officials into the court and checking the old accounts of the Taifu Temple, the two things that His Majesty has been focusing on in the past few months have gone wrong today.

His Majesty did not speak, and the ministers below were silent.

After a while, someone spoke up: "Your Majesty, in Qingzhou, this case is claimed to be a case of forcing women to choose female officials, and Wechen asks Your Majesty to send a messenger to investigate it strictly."

There was no need to look up, Li Congyuan knew that the person who spoke was Zhao Mingyin, a scholar of Duanji Palace.

"Your Majesty, Weichen thinks that most of this case is due to the improper actions of local officials in Qingzhou, and he should order Shandong to strictly investigate according to the judicial department and the military preparation." It was Yang Zhai, the secretary of the military department, who spoke.

His meaning is very simple, a woman is forced to hurt herself, in the end, it is not even a homicide, and there is really no need to send a messenger.

Zhao Mingyin was extremely insistent, and said loudly: "Your Majesty let female officials enter the court, and this matter is inherited from Taizu to care for the people, which is an immortal virtue and politics. The selection of 1,000 female officials by the Ministry of Rites is the benevolence of His Majesty, and the grand event of Dayong, since there are people who are doing trouble in it, it should be strictly investigated, so as to live up to the immensity of the emperor's grace."

A man is in the hall, and Zhao Mingyin's words are sonorous.

This matter must be investigated, strictly investigated, and investigated earth-shattering and earth-shattering, so that the people can know His Majesty's determination to use female officials.

If the ghosts and ghosts dare to act recklessly at this time, they will naturally step on their flesh and bones to build a platform and completely push the female officials in front of the world.

"Descend the ...... of the Chincha"

His Majesty the Emperor on the throne pondered for a moment and asked:

"Li Shangshu, what do you think this matter should be?"

Li Congyuan said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that this matter must be investigated in detail, and he should be sent to Shandong from the six branches."

"Okay, that's it."

Shen Shiqing nodded, and then asked:

"As for the candidate for the Chincha...... Chang Shangshu, do you have any recommended candidates?"

Hearing that His Majesty had finished asking Li Congyuan and asked Chang Shengning, the secretary of the Criminal Department, many people in the hall had some bad feelings in their hearts.

Before, Chang Shengning was already an old man on the verge of death in their eyes, Zhang Wan's party has been eradicated, and he, the lackey in front of the palace, has also aged to the point of losing his teeth, so he should have no threat to them as soon as possible.

Who would have thought that such an old bone would coincide with the occasion of the storm, once he got the grace of God, he would not have a headache and his mouth would not breathe, he would not fall from the previous dynasty, and he would not be bad every day, and his whole body was full of a radiant spirit that did not match his body, as if he could live for another thousand eight hundred years, and boiled himself into an unsightly iron nail in this court.

Especially the Zuo Capital Imperial History Qian Clumsy, the six departments have the duty of supervising the six departments and their capital procuratorate can be said to be one and the same, from the six departments to select the Qin cha, how should Your Majesty ask him.

Thinking so, he secretly glanced at Chu Jiyuan, the new right capital standing beside him.

Weren't you invited back by Your Majesty?

Don't you have a holy family with you?

You're standing up for our courts!

Chang Shengning, on the other side, stroked his long white beard, and a smile appeared on his hateful old face: "Your Majesty, this Qin mission must be familiar with the place and be rigorous in handling things in order to find out the malpractices in the selection of female officials. Your Majesty, do you want a cha who can find out about this, or a cha who can't just find out about it?"

Before Shen Shiqing could speak, Qian Zhaojing, the left attendant of the Ministry of Rites standing behind, asked rhetorically, "Can't you only find out the Qin Cha of this matter? Chang Shangshu, when the selection of female officials was handled by the whole Ministry of Rites, you said that Qin Cha could not only find out the paralysis of the selection, but also find out? My Ministry of Rites' Misdeeds? So it is just right. Your Majesty, Wechen asked himself to go south with the Qincha, and the minister took his official position as a guarantee, and Wechen will definitely find out what happened to the selection of female officials this time, if the reason is really in the Ministry of Rites

, the minister is willing to resign and await trial!"

Chang Shengning looked sideways.

Liu Kangyong, the former secretary of the Ministry of Rites, has only been old for a few days, and Qian Zhaojing, the left attendant of the Ministry of Rites, has already shown some ability to make the country prosperous, although the court and the central government know that he is still young and will not be directly promoted to Shangshu, he still seems to intend to show some skills before the arrival of the new Ministry of Rites.

Not only was he extremely careful in preparing for the New Year's celebration, but the selection of female officials was slowly pushed forward by Liu Kangyong, intentionally or unintentionally, and when it came to him, it was almost a day of progress, but in a few days, the selection and reporting lists of the provinces near Gyeonggi had been available one after another.

Compared with Liu Kangyong, Qian Zhaojing is smarter and more enterprising.

Thinking of this, Chang Shengning quietly glanced at the throne.

His Majesty's recent favorites are courtiers who have the courage to take responsibility, Chen Shouzhang is like this, Chu Jiyuan is like this, Li Congyuan is like this, and he Chang Shengning is the same, although he is not young, this energy is young in the end.

At present, this Qian Zhaojing is using the excuse to show his "youthful spirit".

Tut.

He shook his head in his heart.

On his face, he smiled and said:

"Qian Shilang, the old man knows your intentions in the selection of female officials, not only the old man knows, but His Majesty also knows. There is something wrong with the selection, and you are more worried than we are. But the official position is given by His Majesty, and you are so easy to use the official position as a guarantee, I am afraid that you will want to abandon the official position. You can rest assured, Your Majesty is lenient to the courtiers, as long as we are careful and careful not to make mistakes for our subordinates, we will punish whoever should be punished, and we will be imprisoned for whomever you should be, how holy Your Majesty is, how can he wronged you and the Ministry of Rites."

These words seem to be comforting Qian Zhaojing, and they sound full of sincerity.

Qian Zhaojing's heart hung in the air.

There was another thunderclap outside, and Shen Shiqing looked at them.

She sat upright, and all the thoughts of everyone in the hall seemed to be sent into her ears by the thunder.

Her eyes were downcast, and her fingers twitched slightly.

"Chang Shangshu, I don't just want to find out about the selection of female officials, how will you recommend a candidate for the Qin Mission?"

"Your Majesty."

Chang Shengning said two words first, and then looked up at Li Congyuan.

Li Congyuan was inexplicable for a while: "Chang Shangshu, do you want this official to go in person?" The official is naturally willing to go, but the official really doesn't understand, let the official go to Shandong, what else can the official do besides find out about this matter?"

Chang Shengning shook his head slowly: "Elder Li Ge is a minister of the central government, how can he leave without permission in the center? The old man just had a question. Elder Li Ge, if that person is the right person, will you obstruct it for your own selfishness?"

Li Congyuan felt even more inexplicable.

He is an official and a diligent man, and he has done very few things for selfishness over the years, and if someone who has an enemy with him is beneficial to the court, he will not deliberately suppress him.

Although he can't be said to be a self-righteous gentleman, he can always be called a country regardless of his past suspicions.

"Chang Shangshu, this official doesn't understand what you mean."

He was at a loss, but he saw Chang Shengning slowly retreating, and then bent down to bow to himself.

Then, Chang Shengning saluted His Majesty again.

"Your Majesty, in recent days, there has been some criticism among the people about the matter of female officials, and many people have sworn that the so-called selection of female officials is just to enrich the harem for Your Majesty, and it is only because Your Majesty loves the queen deeply and does not want to draft a girl, so there is such a substitute. Since ancient times, the affairs of men and women have been difficult for debaters to argue, and difficult for those who are clear. The Qincha recommended by Weichen can not only investigate the case, but also let everyone in the world know His Majesty's determination to reuse female officials, which will be of great benefit to the country and the people. This person not only knows the selection of female officials, but also knows the way of poetry and education...... A great benefit that we don't have."

Li Congyuan's heart suddenly, he was originally an extremely smart person, just now he was confused by Chang Shengning's style, if he didn't know what was going on at this time, his ups and downs in the sea would be in vain.

But he understood, but it was too late.

"The good thing is that the man is a woman. Your Majesty

, the minister recommended the Duanji Palace Inspectorate to observe the wind and make Mi Xinlan a messenger."

For a moment, Li Congyuan was a little dazed.

In the Wuying Palace, he heard his wife's name coming out of other people's mouths, and it was a little strange.

"Mi Xinlan? Who's that?" Shaoqing of Dali Temple looked around blankly, and saw that Li Gelao's face seemed to have been poured with lead.

"Mi Xinlan was born in the academy, studied under a famous master, on the article, Li Shangshu has said many times that it is not as good as Mi Xinlan, a few years ago in Beijing circulated in the book "Shangshu Debate and General Examination" was compiled by Mi Xinlan and several close friends, she was young for her father to manage the academy affairs, the selection of female officials, cultivation also has a lot of insights, several changes to the female official charter were approved by His Majesty. Your Majesty, the minister thinks that she can do this mission."

"Your Majesty, is that Mi Xinlan a woman?"

"Your Majesty, the Qincha is different from ordinary female officials, and the ministers think that the women are unprecedented in the Qincha world, and the ministers think ......."

Shen Shiqing picked up the tea cup on the side.

Zhao Surui's body is really pitiful, but it is just a few bowls of wine, and it is ridiculous to be so drunk that he has to sleep all day, and he still has a poor appetite on the second day.

Her tea bowl at the moment was not filled with tea, but the tangerine peel and kudzu root soup that she specially ordered the three cats to fry.

While drinking tea, she glanced at Qian Zhaojing.

Something happened in the selection of female officials, and Liu Kangyong's handwriting was indispensable, this Qian Zhaojing was Liu Kangyong's right-hand man, but now he jumped out to investigate the matter himself, either because he had other plans, or he also wanted to find out what he meant.

As for making Mi Xinlan a chincha......

"Mi Xinlan has only been a wind watcher for a few days, and she has very little experience as an official, how can she be a messenger?"

Shen Shiqing shook her head and put down the teacup.

Just when everyone below breathed a sigh of relief, she smiled and said:

"It's better to let Xu Gongling take the female officials in charge of the selection in the palace to Shandong, so that the world can know what the female officials I selected are like."

The winter thunder outside seemed to have stopped.

The civil officials in the main hall seemed to have been struck by lightning.

"It's not just Shandong, Xu Gong is young and strong, and the female officials are also just young, so it's not interesting to be confined in the palace, let them walk around and see everywhere...... In this way, we have to send more brocade guards to escort them, why don't we choose some women who are proficient in martial arts to join the brocade guard?"

Your Majesty has thought so carefully.

Those of them who are ministers really want to die.

Yang Zhai, the secretary of the military department, covered his face with his sleeves.

He also said to his colleagues yesterday that His Majesty is much more reasonable now than before.

Now he just wants to go back to yesterday and slap himself a few times.

Where is Your Majesty reasonable?

In a dream?

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that it is not impossible for Mi Xinlan to be a messenger."

A deep voice sounded in the hall.

I don't know who breathed a sigh of relief.

Great, Li Ge Lao gave up his wife for the benefit of the imperial court!

"Li Shangshu, are you sincere?" His Majesty still seems to be a little dissatisfied, "I think that Mi Xinlan alone may not be comparable to a group of female officials."

"Your Majesty, the female official counselor led by the Xu Palace Order is an important matter of the inner court, and she can't leave the palace easily, it's not as good as Mi Xinlan, who is an envoy to watch the wind and was born in the procuratorate."

"Okay."

Anyone can tell that His Majesty is not very satisfied.

But he didn't say anything more.

Except for a few people, most of them were relieved.

"As for Jiao Wei, it is said that he is a clean official?" His Majesty's voice sounded again, "Why does the Qing official still use the silver of the imperial court? Death is death, greedy for ink and silver three hundred taels, in the Taizong Dynasty he died a long time ago, but the Criminal Department and Dali Temple were too slow to discuss the crime, but let him live a few more days, you three law divisions, how can you let the corrupt officials do it themselves?"
