After crossing, she was forced to become the first assistant

Chapter 26
A word fell lightly into the ears of the Minister of Rites, but he was as uneasy as if his hair was blown all over his body.

Why do you say this in front of the courtiers?

But if he lied, the emperor had read his notes, and if he was wrong, he would be punished for deceiving the emperor.

Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites wanted to cry, but finally bit the bullet and said.

"Your Majesty, regarding the scientific examination policy proposed by Master Wei, I feel... feel..."

"Offended the interests of famous families and officials and powerful officials."

At some point, Wei Xingzhi had already woken up. Seeing the minister of the Ministry of Rites faltering, like squeezing toothpaste, he took the initiative to take what he dared not say.

She has read the brochures from the Ministry of Rites.

I have to admit that this old Shangshu Yu has unique insights into the country.He has been in Shangshu for many years, and he has his own considerations for the selection of officials by the imperial court, and he has also selected many talented people for the imperial court.

However, he was too cautious to offend any high-ranking officials and dignitaries in the court, and let all the officials and eunuchs occupy high positions based on their connections.

Minister of the Ministry of Rites raised his sleeves and wiped the sweat from his forehead, offending the interests of these courtiers is small, the fear is that some of them will be dissatisfied with His Majesty, commit intrigues in the court, do detrimental things, and disrupt the government.

Wei Xingzhi continued, "Old Shangshu Yu's worries are not unreasonable. Letting the children of officials and aristocratic families also participate in the scientific examination and select talents fairly and justly does harm the interests of some people."

Everyone turned their attention to Wei Xingzhi, how dare she speak so blatantly, these things were said in private.

Suddenly, some of Chaozhong's faces were not very good looking.

Wei Xingzhi blinked his eyes to dispel some drowsiness.

"But when did I have a system where sons inherit the father's position?"

In recent days, almost all of Wei Xingzhi's notebooks were written one after another, and they were nothing more than about the court's taxation and scientific examination system.

These officials in the DPRK were originally waiting for this general election to send the idle children of the family to the DPRK, even if they were idle Beijing officials.

Wei Xingzhi turned his head to look at Duke Yu, "Duke Yu's nephew has been sitting in the sixth-rank official position in the Metropolitan Procuratorate all year round, but I remember that this nephew, Duke Yu, has a loose nature and unfair dealings, which has already provoked people's lives. Resentment, but relying on his status as the Duke of Yu, he suppressed one after another of evil things..."

She hooked her lips, and shifted her eyes from Yu Guogong's iron face back to Wan Chengqian, "I think that the experience of the Metropolitan Procuratorate is not qualified to be a sixth-rank official in Beijing. I will be transferred out of Beijing to serve as a local official. With a little bit of training, it won’t be too late to transfer back after you get the grades.”

In a few words, he asked the nephew of Duke Yu to be transferred to the magistrate of Liangzhou.

Although his official position is higher than that of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, compared to the comfortable life in the imperial city, Liangzhou can be said to be very remote.

Wei Xingzhi also listed a few officials who did not miss the official business but ate the salary of the people in the world. After a short arrangement, the officials who had relations with those Beijing officials blushed and had thick necks. .

The point is, they dare not deny what she said, otherwise the emperor will send someone to investigate and all will be confirmed, then it will not be as simple as a transfer.

Wan Chengqian scolded them coldly for a vegetarian meal, while repeatedly emphasizing that the imperial examination should be fair and just.

Therefore, when the court came down, the faces of all the officials were not very good.

After seeing off his grandfather, Wei Xingzhi taught Wan Qiqian to write for a while in the imperial study before leaving the palace under an umbrella.

She doesn't need to be followed when entering the palace, she is used to walking alone.

Dressed in a crimson court attire, wearing an official hat, with one hand behind her back and the other holding an umbrella, she walked slowly in the rain curtain, forcing down the scenery of the whole garden.

Suddenly, she stopped.

In the octagonal hall not far away, Xu Xiangye was wearing a blue-black long skirt that fell to the floor, looking at the boy in front of him with gorgeous features.

On the contrary, the pink and jade-carved little boy looked very restrained, and even frowned and turned his head to avoid Xu Xiangye's passionate gaze.

She hooked her lips with interest, this little boy is a social terror!

Li Duobao was ordered to send Wei Xingzhi out of the palace. He saw Wei Xingzhi stop and look towards the hall, and said, "My lord, these are the nine princes of the former emperor, and they are His Majesty's younger brother. After His Majesty ascended the throne, he became King Duan."

King Duan was young, and although he had a mansion outside the palace, the empress dowager and the emperor stayed in the palace for fear that his subordinates would not be able to take good care of him.

He used to live in the Compassionate Ning Palace, but later the Empress Dowager became too ill, so she sent him to Chengqian Palace where Wan Tengqian was afraid that she would overwhelm him with illness.

Li Duobao sighed, "These concubines who just entered the palace couldn't please the emperor, so they focused their attention on King Duan. In the past two days, they have to find a way to take care of King Duan for the emperor and share his worries."

While the two were talking, there was a burst of screaming from the Octagon Hall.

Wei Xingzhi looked up.

Seeing the pastry plate that Xu Xiangye was carrying smashed to the ground, she staggered back in horror and nearly fell to the ground.

Several eunuchs and court ladies were also in a hurry and didn't know what to do.

But Duan Wang fell to the ground, twitching uncontrollably, his hands still clinging to his throat, as if he couldn't breathe well.

Wei Xingzhi's face changed suddenly, he threw the umbrella in his hand, tapped his toes, and flew towards the Bajiao Langting with his lightness kung fu.

Wang Xiaoduan's face turned from white to red and then to purple, he opened his mouth wide but couldn't breathe.

Wei Xingzhi carefully and quickly took off his coat and covered him, then hugged him who fell on the ground and twitched in his arms, and quickly ran towards the Tai Hospital.

"Go and call the emperor." She hurriedly said four words, with a serious expression on her face, she ran farther and farther in the heavy rain.

Li Duobao just woke up like a dream, and ran to Chengqian Palace non-stop with a pale face.

And Xu Xiangye was supported by the maid, looking at the cakes that fell on the floor in horror...

Is someone trying to kill her, or using her hands to kill King Duan?
If something happened to Prince Duan, wouldn't she be charged with murdering the royal family?
Xu Xiangye swallowed, and felt dizzy for a while, "Qingyun, hurry up, pick these up..."

"No, no, no one can let people know that these things came out of our palace, dispose of them, clean them up, and don't leave any traces."

Only her maids and eunuchs were there just now, as long as she didn't tell, no one would know that Duan Wang became like this because he ate what she gave.

No, Wei Xingzhi!Wei Xingzhi saw it...

When Wan Chengqian heard the news and rushed over, many people had already gathered in the Tai Hospital.

Cheng Wansu was also there, she stood outside the wing of the Imperial Hospital with a worried face, and when she saw Wan Chengqian, she naturally greeted her.

It was as if the quarrel and questioning that night did not exist at all.

"Your Majesty, You'erji has his own aura, so he will be fine. Wipe the rain off your body." She took out a handkerchief from her waist, and lovingly wiped the rain that fell on Wan Tuqian's shoulders.

Wan Tuqian's face was gloomy, and he brushed away without a trace, and found Wei Xingzhi's figure among the concubines gathered here.
