The First Auxiliary Road from the Imperial Examination

[Sister Yuan, is your hard work considered a success? 】The system watched curiously as soon as its host appeared, and the surrounding scenes seemed to be fast forwarding, and the courtiers almost walked out of the afterimage.

"There is still a long way to go before success, we still need to work hard!" Sheng Yuan didn't care about everyone's reaction, anyway, everything that needs to be discussed has been discussed.

[…] The system is a little puzzled, [But I feel that your earnest words these days are somewhat intimidating. 】

"Oh? That's probably because you're overthinking it. I'm just a person who hates dogs." Sheng Yuan is very self-aware.

The CPU of the system runs very fast until it gets a little hot, it is still hard to understand: [You have worked so hard to tell them...]

As a system that has witnessed the entire process of its host persuading courtiers, I feel that its host has the demeanor of a counselor.

"Not all efforts have a response." Unlike the unwilling system, Sheng Yuan had already expected the current result before frequently entering and leaving the courtier's mansion.

[But what you said makes sense!From the perspective of interests, we should listen to advice. 】The system is very unfair to its own host.

"If you were so easy to persuade, you wouldn't see so many similar farces in the history books." Sheng Yuan shrugged and looked in the direction of the imperial city, "Obviously, under the blessing of power, wealth, and desire, These court dignitaries will continue to repeat the mistakes of the past."

[So, if the Great Dynasty begins, will everyone still choose Prince Jing’s son as the crown prince? 】The system is obviously unwilling to give up, and its host has obviously worked so hard to mediate.

It's a pity that Sheng Yuan nodded under its gaze: "From now on, it should be like this."

[Then aren’t your efforts in vain? 】The system slumped its shoulders and was a little listless. No matter how hard it worked to cheer up the host in the past few days, it felt so disappointed and sad at the moment.

"You can't say that." Sheng Yuan didn't expect the system to empathize, so he couldn't help coaxing, "Once words enter the ears, they will definitely leave traces. What I said, reminded, is like a star." Seeds will definitely plant seeds in their hearts. Once the seeds are planted, they will take root and sprout naturally, and it is not something they will accept if they want to."

The system looked up at the projection of the host. Under the sun, the girl with picturesque features was full of vigor, her eyes sparkling with light, bright and bright.

[Host, are you really not a little disappointed? 】

"Why should you be disappointed?" Sheng Yuan "looked" at the system in her mind and told it seriously, "Know why you are working hard and fight for your goals, even if you cannot achieve the optimal results due to various factors in the middle. , but as long as you stick to the direction you are going in, even if it seems to have no results now, as long as you relax the time limit, you will find that the process we are working hard for is an upward spiral. Our efforts It won’t be in vain.”

[? ? ? 】The system listened hard and thought hard.

However, I didn't understand.

"It doesn't matter if you don't understand, think about how you feel now, don't you feel much better?" Sheng Yuan asked it cheerfully.

The system nodded with difficulty.

The main reason is that in the face of such a host who is always positive and cheerful and loves to laugh, as a companion system, it is difficult to keep his mood down.

……

After Sheng Yuan coaxed her own system, she began to read the files again. As the temporary manager of Dali Temple, she had already coordinated with the internal guards through Anyu, and went to the cabinet, requiring all localities to submit the local files to the court every ten days.

Of course, in order to reduce the work intensity of government documents in various places, she specially emphasized that only the facts of the case will be sent every ten days. As for the entire trial process and verdict results, it will still be brought up to the capital every quarter according to the old practice.

She did this because she also wanted to have a more accurate grasp of the impact of the change of the throne on various parts of Dachu.

In this regard, the cabinet approved it, and the internal guards stationed in various places also assumed the responsibility of delivering the case file.

As a result, Sheng Yuan's workload increased dramatically.

Like at this moment, Sheng Yuan, who has finished the day's work, is still at his desk.

She was preparing for the two-day court meeting.

"Sister Yuan! Sister Yuan!" An Yu hurried over and sat opposite her, looking at her eagerly.

"What's wrong?" Sheng Yuan quickly wrote down a few strokes on the paper, then closed the book and looked up.

"I heard that many people are in favor of setting up Prince Jing's son as a reserve official and intend to remain silent." There seemed to be a fire in An Yu's eyes, and when he was emotional, the flames became hot.

"It's a good thing." Sheng Yuan nodded in consideration.

In the past few days, An Yu's focus has been on the heir to the throne. Before the Great Court Meeting, it seems that there is nothing more important than the emperor's heir being the heir.

"However, you have to be clear. Analyzing the pros and cons of something that hasn't happened may be able to bluff for a while, but you can't beat the clear benefits."

Although he didn't want to irritate An Yu, Sheng Yuan still told him everything about the situation. "The succession of the throne is a major national event. Leaving aside our relationship with the royal family, our strength is negligible in terms of actual official positions. It is impossible for us to achieve Princess Yuanning's succession alone." Don't look at Sheng Yuan She always behaved positively in front of people, but in fact, when she said these words to An Yu, she would inevitably feel powerless.

The fire in Anyu's eyes dimmed a lot, and the eyes that were shining before now showed confusion and helplessness.

"Why?" Why is it so difficult?

Sheng Yuan looked at his empty eyes, lowered his eyes silently reminiscing about the past, then sighed and said: "It's always difficult for a girl in this world."

Inheriting the honor, status, and property of one's biological father should be a matter of course, but when it comes to the girl, there are many obstacles.

If Princess Yuanning is a prince, not to mention the heirs of Prince Jing, but the heirs of everyone in the royal family combined, it won't be a problem.

But for the prince, the easy-to-get throne has become elusive because Princess Yuanning is a girl.

And this situation is already very good compared with the previous generations.

In fact, if the late emperor had not made long-term preparations and efforts for the establishment of the imperial examination for women, if the emperor had not insisted on selecting female officials through the imperial examination, if not for the empress dowager's insistence on refusing to compromise... the matter of Princess Yuanning's succession to the throne would not have been considered by the cabinet. within the range.

"Then what should we do!" An Yu held her chin in confusion.

Sheng Yuan's eyes flickered, but he didn't say anything.

In fact, she really has a trick.

As long as Princess Yuanning is not forced to ascend the throne, then on the grounds that King Hui is still alive, the cabinet is ordered to act as an agent for court affairs, and first welcome the coffins of the emperor and others back to Beijing, and then, in the name of keeping the country filial piety, delay first.

It would be better if the elder sister gave birth to a baby boy. If not, she could use some tricks to show the traces of King Hui from time to time, so as to buy time for Princess Yuanning to marry and have a baby. Once a baby boy is born, she can be adopted under the name of King Hui. .

Although there are still loopholes in this idea, it can be regarded as a stopgap measure.

But this method, Sheng Yuan thought of it, but didn't want to say it.

Because it is dangerous for the sister, it is cruel for Princess Yuanning, it is suffering for all participants and expecters; it is meaningless for the girl's progress.

The meaning of Princess Yuanning's ascension to the throne is different, and Sheng Yuan doesn't want to mess up a possible good situation just because of her own cleverness.

Therefore, she could only resist the entanglement and remained silent.

……

"Wen Zhen!" Accompanied by Anyu, Sheng Yuan had just walked out of Dali Temple when she heard a familiar female voice not far away.

Looking back, it was a few girls from the same department who were calling her.

Taking a closer look, Chao Wensheng, Cen Youniang and Xue Ziyi, the leaders, seemed to have resentment, panic and anxiety on their faces.

"Why are you doing this?" Sheng Yuan stopped in surprise.

"Wen Zhen, may I move on?" Cen Youniang was more familiar with Sheng Yuan, and invited her to the teahouse for a conversation.

"Although the private rooms in the tea house are good, I'm afraid that the walls have ears. If you don't mind, you can go to the Hou's Mansion to talk about it." An Yu calmed down and invited everyone to Ancheng Hou's Mansion as guests.

The female officials discussed in a low voice for a moment and agreed to go.

……

"Does Wen Zhen know that rumors have spread among the people recently?"

"Ah, I don't know." Sheng Yuan looked blankly at the female officers of the same department and shook his head.

Her recent focus has been on getting the court officials to stay, but she really didn't think much about the reaction of the people.

"But there are rumors that are hard to hear?"

Sheng Yuan didn't think too much about what happened before, but now that they heard what they said, he immediately thought of how much speculation the people would have about the royal family letting Queen Lu go away.
