It was also at this moment that Prime Minister Lu Cheng felt Pei Yao's determination to clean up the Gaomen family.

At such a time, if you don't follow the emperor's wishes, you will be killing yourself.

Even if he gains benefits by virtue of his foundation qualifications for a while, but let the emperor respond, then sooner or later, the emperor will inevitably take action to completely destroy the Lu family.

So next, Prime Minister Lu Cheng is also doing things more and more neatly.

Liu Qin is also unambiguous.

Seizing this opportunity is another meritorious service.

For a while, the government and the opposition were lively again.

Of course, Pei Yao will not be arrested and killed, after all, once a son of heaven and a courtier, some families had crooked thoughts in the later years of Emperor Chengjing, and now that Pei Yao has ascended the throne, he will stop doing it.

Such an official will be punished lightly, or turn a blind eye and let him pass.

However, none of those who have attacked this spring festival can escape.

Such a combination of leniency and severity is also swift.

King Dun and Prime Minister Lu Cheng took the lead in investigating in Beijing, and Pei Yao also let go of his hands and feet, and found out all the people on the list that was handed over to Ye Yunxiao before, and dealt with them in the same way.

In addition, because the local exam in the north has passed, in order to prevent those candidates who have been operated in the dark from waiting for a few more years, Pei Yao ordered that the time of the spring exam be postponed to mid-August, and the exam will be reopened in early April in the north.

After this will was transmitted, the students of the northern poor families praised it, and they all said that the son of heaven was the Ming monarch.

There are even a few talented and outstanding ones, who have the courage to write articles or poems, and hand them to Pei Yao, but there are also two, who were really taken by Pei Yao, and went directly to take office, and there was an official vacancy in the north.

Of course, it's not a very important high position, after all, it's a newcomer.

But the hand-picking outside the scientific examination room of the Son of Heaven is also a great honor for these readers.

However, Pei Yao went to the north, not only to clean up the moths of the family and clean up the atmosphere of scientific research, but also to secretly take time to go to the northern border.

Needless to say, the person who received him was now the person in charge of the Huo family army in northern Xinjiang, Huo Mingxuan.

And this time, Pei Yao came here to understand the recent situation of Shangyang Kingdom.

When he was in the harem before, Fang Yu mentioned Concubine Yan's ill intentions, and Pei Yao also sent someone to investigate.

But Concubine Yan was cautious, Rao is Pei Yao made a move, and only found out that Concubine Yan had been in contact with Shangyang Kingdom, although it was not much, but it was never broken.

If Shangyang Kingdom really offered a beautiful princess to serve him in order to seek peace, then this princess is a tribute and a plaything, and the relationship between Lin Chan and Lin Chen, the current monarch of Shangyang Kingdom, is not good, in this case, there is still a connection between the two, it must be another plan.

Taking the opportunity of going north this time, Pei Yao wanted to meet Huo Mingxuan, one was to let Huo Mingxuan try to send someone to infiltrate Shangyang Kingdom to inquire.

Now that the war between the two countries is over, and they are now in a period of peace on the surface, it is not difficult to send people over.

Of course, we have to look at the recent situation of the Northern Frontier Army.

When such a thing as military power is not in your own hands, it must be handed over to a reliable person.

just slipped around, and when Pei Yao came back, it was already time for the show girls to finish learning the rules and enter the palace.

The queen has already drawn up the position of the newcomer, so she waited for Pei Yao to come back, and finally discussed and decided.

When Pei Yao came back, it was almost time for dinner.

Before coming back, he deliberately sent a message to the queen so that there was no need to arrange a reception banquet, so after Pei Yao came back, he quietly went to Yuzhang Palace at the first stop.

Why is it quiet, after all, this is the rule, you should go to see the queen first when you come back.

So when Fang Yu saw Pei Yao, who hadn't changed his clothes and was in the dust, he was also very surprised.

Pei Yao followed like a child, saying that he wanted to eat a bowl of noodles at Fang Yu's place.

He still remembered what Fang Yu said before, the dumplings and the noodles.

Looking at his childish side, Fang Yu was also helpless and funny.

This broke her plan, and she originally planned to make a bowl for Ming'er seriously.

Now that he is in a hurry, he has to go to the queen's place after eating, so Fang Yu's hand speed can't keep up, so he can only order the cook in the small kitchen to do it.

But being able to eat a bowl of hot noodles here at Fang Yu, whether it was made by Fang Yu himself or not, Pei Yao felt warm in his heart.

I still wanted to see the child, but I was afraid that the second princess and the fourth prince would be young, so Ming'er said that she had leaked her mouth, so in the end she only ate noodles, said a few words to Fang Yu, and left.

It was another toss, I went back to Jingqian Palace to change my clothes, and then I drove to Fengxuan Palace.

The queen, on her side, had already arranged dinner in a proper manner and greeted her at the door.

"The rules are all waived, I'm not here for this time, I've worked hard for you."

Pei Yao gave the queen a hand, and his tone was gentle.

"The concubines are not hard, the emperor went north and worked hard for state affairs, but fortunately, now that things are over, it is also a good thing that the scientific expedition can be held smoothly." The queen also had a dignified smile on her face.

The husband and wife said a few polite words at the door before entering the house and sitting down together.

Because he ate a bowl of noodles in the Yuzhang Palace, when he came to the queen, facing a table of delicacies from the mountains and seas, Pei Yao was so hungry that he had no stomach.

It was completely accompanied by the queen to move the chopsticks.

The queen was also smart, and when she saw that he had a poor appetite, she also ate half full, so she put chopsticks, let people clean up, and served tea.

Drink tea, and you can talk about things.

For the queen, the first thing to mention is naturally the draft.

"The list of selected show girls this time, the concubines have been listed, the concubines and Zhao Guifei and Concubine Jin look at each other together, they are all good girls, and now the rules are almost learned, it is time to take them into the palace, the concubines have proposed their positions, and they also ask the emperor to make a decision."

As he spoke, he had the booklet brought over.

Pei Yao took a sip of tea and took it to take a closer look.

On the list, the queen drew up that the daughter of the Governor of the Left Capital of the Chinese Army, Qiu Shaojia, is a six-grade beauty, and Xu Yingyi, the daughter of a scholar of the Hanlin Academy, is also a six-grade beauty.

Qiu Juan gave the seventh-grade Baolin, and the other two, Luo and Wang, were the last eight-grade girls.

After Pei Yao read it, he asked about Qiu Yao's position.

"Why did the concubine of this rite member give Baolin the position?"

"Oh, this one is called Qiu Yan, and Qiu Shaojia in front of her is from the same family, their family is a side branch of the Qiu family, and the two of them are still sisters, she has excellent appearance, and she is the most top-notch among these show girls, so the concubine thinks that since she is a beauty and has a relationship with the Qiu family, it is also possible to give a Baolin position."

The Empress explained in a low voice.

Pei Yao listened and nodded.

He actually doesn't care much about whether it is beautiful or not, after all, no woman who can enter the harem will be ugly, but looking at these two Qiu family girls, Pei Yao thought about it and said.

"It's not easy to distinguish a surname, just give this Qiu Meiren a title, just choose a blue character, and the rest will be done according to your decision."

"Yes, the concubine will order people to leave the palace tomorrow to announce her will, and the newcomers will enter the palace in ten days."

The queen took the booklet and whispered.
