This long street outside the Danfeng Gate, this season is peachy and gorgeous, although there is spring rain at this time, most of the officials who have returned home from the palace are still willing to ride and enjoy the scenery, one is because of the charming spring, and the other is because the rain is not strong, the south wind blows like a mist, not to cold and wet the long shirt, but just a light cold.

Because Xie Raoping was transferred to the secretary and supervisor, this staff as a special collection of books, the organization of compilation, has become a key point with the three provinces, but the young eunuch Liu Junyi is still a "marginalized", although it is not as idle as the Shaoqing of Taichang Temple, but it is not busy anywhere, Shen Chu can be on duty on time, and this day happened to meet the brother Liu Xinyi, who has also been idle since the Son of Heaven "held the disease", so the two rode home together, and the two brothers watched the scenery along the way. I never expected that there was a "peach blossom" sitting in my home.

"At this time, come to the line?" Stepping on the saddle and dismounting in front of his house, Liu Junyi listened to the concierge report that a new science and technology scholar came to make a special trip today, and couldn't help but feel very surprised, especially after listening to the concierge report that someone called Tanzhou Chai Tori, and waited in the flower hall for nearly an hour, insisting on waiting for him to return to the house to meet him, Liu Junyi felt even more suspicious.

Although even Jinshi and the first are not lacking in self-recommendation, but to this extent, it is generally for Shi Brown to recommend himself, Liu Junyi is not an official of the Ministry of Officials, although he is also a high-ranking official at the moment, and the family can be called prominent, but compared with the eldest brother Liu Yuyi, who is an official in Shangshu Province, the weight is not reduced at all, so I am very puzzled by what the reason for this Tanzhou Chai to "give up the near and seek the far".

But the door has been blocked, and Liu Junyi has never put on an official stand, and he can't do the slap in the face that he refuses, so he still pulled Liu Xinyi to meet the visitors together, but after hearing that Chai took his mouth and showed his views on national politics and the luck of studying under famous people, and after being born in poverty and studying hard for ten years, he still didn't understand how he was favored by such a promising new science and technology scholar, and deliberately recommended himself.

"Why should Brother Jun be suspicious, and look at the content of this volume of poems, you will know the clues." Liu Xinyi was obviously very interested in the unusually sized scroll presented by Shibatori, so he urged Jun Yi to take a look.

The scroll is three feet long, but it is not a poem, but a landscape ink painting, stamped with the seal of Shibattori, apparently painted by his own hand.

Seeing that Liu Junyi's face seemed to be blackened by the pot ash, Liu Xinyi laughed "haha", patted his younger brother's shoulder with anger and twitched, and said with schadenfreude: "It turns out that this is the meaning, I didn't expect that Eleven Niang was so young, and some people admired and asked to marry." ”

Shibatori openly used the painting to "line the scroll", and indicated that it was for Junyi, and what he planned in his heart naturally couldn't hide the two great talents of the Liu family, of course, Shibatori probably didn't want to hide the intentions in his heart.

Liu Junyi didn't have the smugness of "my family has a girl who has just grown up", he smashed the scroll heavily, and said angrily: "How old is Yiyi, and he hasn't reached cardamom yet, why does it arouse admiration?" Chai took the study from the famous Confucian, and the current branch can get the Jinshi and the first must be a good literary talent, but I can't imagine that it is so arrogant and utilitarian, it can be seen that there is no talent! ”

Young Eunuch Liu was furious, of course Chai Tori, who had already said goodbye and left, knew nothing, he was overjoyed and proud at this time because he had met the "best father-in-law" in his mind as he wished - since he inquired about Liu Xinyi, a scholar from the middle school, once because of a poor scholar, he did not hesitate to recruit as the east bed, not only with the influence of Jing Zhaoliu to promote Zheng Min Jinshi and the first, and even recommended Yu Jiedu to make his subordinates an official, Zheng Min's career can be imagined from then on, Chai took himself to think that Zheng Min was from the same background, and the person who asked to marry was not the daughter of the Liu family, Although Eleven Niang is more talented than the concubine who married Zheng Min, but he relies on his own skills, which is obviously stronger than Zheng Min, and Chai Tori also inquired "deeply", whether Zheng Min married a good concubine, not as good as Liu Shi Niang, seriously but "maid born daughter", Chai Tori really can't think of any reason for Liu Shaojian to refuse him such a fast son-in-law.

If you marry Jingzhao Liu, it is like a tiger with wings, the only trouble is the old mother at home, and she wants to let herself pass on the family generation earlier, but Liu Shiniang is still young, even if she decides to marry, she will have to wait a few years to really marry, I am afraid that the mother will be dissatisfied, and she will have to abolish her lips and tongue to persuade with righteousness, Chai to consciously suffer, secretly regret why she did not enter Beijing a year earlier to apply for the examination, if you marry the concubine of the Liushe people, not only the career is worry-free, but the heirs are not delayed, that is the best of both worlds.

Eleven Niang was in the deep palace, and she didn't expect that she was actually disliked by someone while calculating, but she suddenly felt an itch in her nose, as if she was going to sneeze, so it was easy to hold back, and peeked at the palace maid in the room who was busy with her orders, and no one seemed to pay attention to her indecent behavior, so she quickly rubbed the tip of her nose.

Since the Queen Mother is in charge of the government again, whenever Eleven Niang is on duty, except for the night rest time, she will return to the Floating Fragrance Corridor, and she will basically stay in the Hanxiang Hall during the day, but she will not leave the Queen Mother an inch, for example, now, the Empress Dowager Wei has just met with several political ministers to discuss important politics, and specially sent Eleven Niang to one side of the corridor to sort out the chapter.

This is also an important work during the period when Shi Niang was on duty, who let the current Hanxiang Hall replace the "head" status of Zichen Palace? Don't think that the reason for this kind of work is that it is the responsibility of official officials such as Zhongshu Sheren, in fact, even if the Son of Heaven is in power, most of this kind of work is entrusted to eunuchs - there are many commissions in various places, and it is impossible for the rulers to look at them one by one, otherwise even if they don't sleep for twelve hours, there will not be enough time.

First of all, in addition to the secret recital needs to be submitted directly, all the affairs of the local affairs are the first to be read by the ministers of the political affairs hall, trivial matters to the ministries to deal with, important first to discuss a conclusion, submitted to the queen mother for review, or there is no unified conclusion in the event of a dispute, then it is necessary to come to the Xiangxiang Palace, sometimes a matter of dispute for ten days and a half without results is not uncommon, and even will be held in the palace, the original dispute between three or two people, evolved into a gossip debate.

Even if it is trivial, after the ministries make a reply, they also need to be stamped by the Queen Mother before they can be issued, and the eleventh mother will be responsible for the review, and strive not to let the seemingly inconspicuous but actually important relationship and may cause trouble because of non-compliance with the norm.

In addition, the advice of the local governor, if it is collectively denied by the ministers of the political hall, according to the procedure, it is also necessary to submit it to the Hanxiang Hall for review, the queen mother does not have time to read them one by one, and the eleven mother will have to take on this responsibility, if you disagree with the ministers of the political hall, or have doubts, you must also choose to submit it to the queen mother for review.

Then there is the recital of the Queen Mother's approval decision, and sometimes it may also be "refuted" by the officials of the three provinces, so it must be handed over to the Hanxiang Palace, which also needs to be sorted out and submitted to the Queen Mother for decision in time.

When Empress Wen was in power, this kind of work was generally handed over to the female historian, but the Empress Dowager Wei now clearly did not trust the female historian to have this ability, so although there were female historians to join, the people in charge of the overall planning were Liu Shiniang and Wei Xuan, who were deeply appreciated by the Empress Dowager.

As for the real henchman Dou Fu'an, firstly, he is too busy to take a break from his many hats, and secondly, he has always only served the concubines, and has never received training to assist in the king's clerical affairs, and the queen mother is not very relieved to let him take over this kind of work of "detecting omissions and collecting omissions" and "transferring and awarding".

In her previous life, although she once admired the peaceful life of the paradise away from the power, but when she accepted the family arrangement to marry into the royal family, in fact, she has not been very convinced that her father's decree is only limited to the palace, this is not to say that she has the ambition to interfere in politics, but she thinks that since she has entered the center of power, then she can't be controlled by anyone who knows nothing about the government, but unfortunately she has such a consciousness but is not firm enough, In the end, he still listened to the advice of his father and ancestors, and was killed in a defeat, and now he is "making a comeback", and of course he must cherish this opportunity.

But in recent days, Shi Niang has been a little distracted when performing her duties, and frequently pays attention to the window - the west window of this corridor is facing the apse, but anyone who sees the Queen Mother can see it at a glance.

Eleven Niang was preparing for the audience of the eldest princess of Jin'an, and He Ye's warning really frightened her, and she couldn't imagine how difficult and bumpy the situation would be if Zhao'er had such a stepmother as Jin'an.

She didn't want to make new enemies, because the original enemy was already strong enough and numerous, but if Jin An insisted on going her own way, she had no choice but to kill the "killer"!

On this day, Eleven Niang heard a burst of women's laughter from afar, and looked out the window nervously.

Fortunately, it's not Princess Jin'an, it's just Concubine Xian.

Eleven Niang didn't want to pay attention to it, but when she looked at the hourglass in the room, it happened to be the time to perform the concerto.
