That night, the candles in Song Qianhang's study were bright, and the little maid was helping to grind on the side, holding back a smile.

Song Qianhang scolded while copying, "What kind of female commandment, it's all bullshit, what kind of dross thoughts?!" ”

"How could anyone have asked to copy this!?"

"Big brother is not a person, he is too not a person!"

The next day, Song Qianhang sat down for breakfast with dark circles under his eyes, and yawned several times.

King Jing glanced at him, "It's a good thing that you can study hard, but everything must be appropriate, don't hurt your eyes." ”

Princess Jing felt sorry for her son who had studied all night, so she put a bowl of hot porridge in his hand, "After breakfast, go back to the courtyard and rest for a while, Guozijian won't go today." ”

When Song Qianhang heard it, there was such a good thing!?

His eyes suddenly lit up, he thought about it, and pretended to be in bad spirits, "My son listens to my mother." ”

...

In the palace, just after the court, Zhongshu Ling and several ministers of the court were summoned to the imperial study.

The emperor looked at the folds presented in the past few days, and either recommended some people who had no merit to stuff them into the household department, or he was worried about the position of the waiter of the Ministry of Rites.

The household department has the wealth of the world, and it is even more cautious in employing people, even if it is a six-grade official, it is not careless.

Several ministers even played for several days in a row, urging the old emperor to decide on the candidate for the prince as soon as possible.

"None of these folds are visible!"

The emperor was furious, "I'm not dead yet, and I'm impatient one by one!?" ”

Wolf ambition! Wolf ambition!

Several ministers were driven out, leaving only Liu Ze, the secretary of the Zhongshu Order, and the Shangshu Meihe of the Ministry of Officials.

The emperor's eyes fell on Zhongshu Ling, thinking that he hadn't seen his fold for so long, and immediately asked, "Do you have any recommended candidates for this branch?" ”

Although the degree branch member Wailang is only from the six grades, but after all, the degree branch is in charge of the financial cashier, and the selected person must be careful and proficient in arithmetic, but also sincere.

The emperor had to be cautious.

Zhongshuling hesitated for a moment, and the official Shangshu on the side hurriedly recommended, "Your Majesty, there is someone to recommend in one fell swoop." ”

Emperor: "Who?" ”

The official department is still in the book: "Li Quan, the chief director of the Criminal Department, has a son, Wechen has seen it, that Li Zhan is proficient in arithmetic, and Wechen thinks that he is a good candidate." ”

Zhongshu Ling frowned and said, "Mei Shangshu, then how do I remember Li Zhan who made some trouble in the gambling hall two years ago and was locked up by Jingzhao Yin's Mansion for several days?" ”

"Recommending such a gambler, Mei Shangshu is confused, right?"

The official Shangshu smiled, "That's all a misunderstanding, a misjudgment, then Li Zhan I have seen, not a gambler......"

The old emperor sneered, "Jingzhao Yin Qiu Chong is not confused, Mei Qing, I see that you are a little confused." ”

The anger of the Son of Heaven, the official Shangshu was in a cold sweat, "It's because the minister didn't investigate carefully, and the old minister knows his mistakes, and I hope that His Majesty can forgive the old minister's mistake in recommending the wrong one." ”

Nowadays, people can recommend against their will, which shows that self-interest is indispensable behind it.

A chill flashed in the old emperor's eyes, and he looked at Zhongshu Ling, "Liu Qing, do you have anyone to recommend?" ”

Zhongshuling glanced at the secretary of the ministry, even a gambler like Li Zhan can recommend it, this secretary is really going to be the end.

The old emperor above was still waiting for him to speak, and Zhongshu Ling had the courage to speak, "Your Majesty, Weichen is a candidate, and his talents and character are all superior, but he is a little different from other officials...... I'm afraid that His Majesty will think it is inappropriate. ”

The old emperor squinted, and Zhongshu Ling often twisted and twisted when he spoke, which made people guess uncomfortable, but he didn't have any dissenting intentions, and he knew his intentions, and he was very loyal.

He asked in a deep voice, "What's different about this person?" ”

Zhongshu ordered: "This person is a woman. ”

As soon as these words came out, the old emperor guessed who it was in his heart, and he bent his lips, knowing my heart, Liu Qing also.

However, the official department Shangshu didn't have such a good eyesight, and when he heard that it was a woman, he immediately retorted, "Lord Liu, how can a woman enter the court as an official, you're afraid you're confused!" ”

He was proud in his heart, this Liu relied on his usual heart to get some sacred hearts, and he dared to recommend a woman as an official, today he is really old and confused.

At this time, the official Shangshu hoped that the old emperor would be furious, and reprimanded Liu Ze to relieve his hatred for being disciplined.

The old emperor frowned.

Zhongshu Ling turned to face the official department and asked sharply, "Lord Mei, why can't a woman enter the court as an official?" ”

Women have never lost to men, but there is a lot of prejudice in this world.

The official sneered, "The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty are all men, but you recommend a woman, it's ridiculous!" ”

The corners of the old emperor's forehead jumped, and he wanted to shout to drag down this official who was full of dung, which was really noisy.

However, he could only sit firmly above, pretending to be serious, and listened to the two of them arguing.

In the face of the sneer, Zhongshu Ling was not in a hurry or annoyed, and said slowly, "During the Chongde period, the queen of heaven was in power, and there were not a few women who were officials. ”

The official Shangshu said coldly, "Lord Liu also said that it was when the queen of heaven was on the throne, and the woman was an official and could understand it, but now she is not the queen of heaven......

Zhongshu Ling Dengshi interrupted him, and his voice suddenly raised: "Lord Mei's words, isn't he questioning the queen who let women enter the court as officials back then?!" ”

The pupils of the Ministry of Shangshu constricted, "Why did Lord Liu say this......

The old emperor was already annoyed, "Okay! ”

The cold eyes fell on his body, and the body of the official Shangshu trembled.

The old emperor shouted, "When the queen of heaven was in power, I was full of talents, there were few unjust and wrong cases, and the people lived and worked in peace and contentment, and I was a generation of Ming monarchs, and I often sighed that I was not as good as the queen ......of heaven."

"Mei Qing should be cautious."

The cold gaze and the aggravated tone shocked the official Shangshu to speak again, and he knew that Liu Ze had been entangled in his words again, and he suffered a big loss.

"How dare the old minister question, Your Majesty, the old minister lost his words for a while, and the old minister knew his mistake!"

The old emperor looked at Zhongshu Ling, "Liu Qing, who are you recommending?" ”

Zhongshu Ling said slowly, "Respect the princess of the palace, Su Juan." ”

The old emperor narrowed his eyes, "Oh? Why did you recommend the princess, could it be that Liu Qing met her? ”

Zhongshu Ling: "It's not a micro-minister, but the daughter of the minister is familiar with the princess, and knows that the princess is proficient in arithmetic, and knows a thing or two about the various expenditure budgets of the household department. ”

The official who was kneeling on the side was stunned for a moment, this recommendation came and went, but it was recommended to the head of the princess.

knew that he was the princess, and he just bothered to do that tongue, and everyone was happy!

This princess is the son of the world, and if she is a member of the branch, she thinks it will be more suitable than Li Zhan as an outsider.

The old emperor glanced at him, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and asked in a deep voice, "What does Mei Qing think of the person recommended by Liu Qing?" ”

The official Shangshu laughed dryly, "Your Majesty, the princess is very intelligent, and if she is a foreigner, it is very suitable." ”

The old emperor snorted, his quick change of face was beyond the reach of people.

"Someone is coming, summoning the princess of the palace Su to enter the palace to meet you."
