I can't die!I haven't ruled the world yet!

Wen Zhao's wife is very thoughtful, just to put it another way, with her taking care of the house, the mother and aunt are much more relaxed.It's just that she has too much desire for power, and always wants to become the real headed mistress, and the concubines are inevitably worried that she will do something to her mother in the palace. "

Wendy was worried.

"You want to leave the palace?" The prime minister asked for an interview in the afternoon, and Rong Cen talked with him in detail for two full hours, talking until he was dry, before he persuaded him to agree to his own expedition to the southern border.

"There is a regent overseeing the country, and there are veterans sitting in the court. Grand Master Lu dare not act rashly. Your Majesty can rest assured when you go. I hope that Your Majesty will take care of the dragon's body and make a safe and triumphant return!"

"I will, I will."

After Rong Cen's perfunctory answer, he finally sent Wen Renmo away with the excuse of taking a lunch break.

As soon as he stepped out of the Hall of Renzheng, Rong Cen turned over the window to find Lao Ba.

She was going south tomorrow, and she had to dig out a few boxes of the 100 million silver under the wild forest tree to deal with emergencies.

"How many boxes?!" Lao Ba jumped up, "Your Majesty, you might as well go and rob the bank! I only have ten boxes in total!"

1000 taels a box, 100 million taels can hold [-] boxes.How can it be impossible that there are only ten boxes.Rong Cen looked at him with a half-smile, and lifted his right ear, "The stolen money is confiscated, I forgive you for your innocence."

"The commander of the dragon guard..."

"Look at my mood."

Facing Shang Xiu's expectant gaze, Rong Cen unceremoniously poured cold water on him.
-
The whole court is depressed.

The courtiers were overwhelmed and couldn't think of it, nor could the emperor, there was no way to do it, God, this is the Yaozhou of Dayin!

Rong Cen suddenly asked: "Where is the Minister of Rites?"

She looked left and right in the crowd, but she couldn't find the little old man who was kneeling and holding high the banner of "Rites cannot be broken".

All the officials didn't expect the emperor to change the subject so quickly, and none of them understood that she was suddenly looking for the Minister of Rites.

No, this clearly talks about the protection of Dayin's homeland. Logically speaking, shouldn't he seek the Minister of War?No matter how bad it is, it has something to do with the territory, so you should go to the Ministry of Households, right?What happened to the Ministry of Rites?
Wan Chengshu didn't expect that His Majesty would find him, and forced him to hold the imperial examination as soon as possible, so he felt that today would not be a good day.

"The minister is here!"

Sure enough, after Wan Chengshu came out, he had just finished answering, when Rong Cen nodded, and the other party looked at him with a smile, very "nuclear".

Rong Cen pretended to stroke the non-existent beard: "Master Wan is in good health, how is your preparation for the imperial examination? Don't tell the students all over the world to wait for a long time!"

Wan Chengshu's high-hanging heart sank, and he actually had a feeling of "it really is so". If he asked about the professional field, he would feel relieved.

Starting from various angles, making considerations around different aspects, taking "haste makes waste" as the argument, and discussing it according to different situations, enumerating several arguments and proofs, and finally summarizing one sentence.

"Your Majesty, to sum up the above, there is no rush for the imperial examination! The ministers and others have been preparing day and night, but because of this, they are afraid of making mistakes. Such a delicate matter, you must make a mistake!"

"Your Majesty wants to ask about the progress. Well, the Ministry of Rites still has some progress in the imperial examinations. The ministers and others have made great breakthroughs in studying the topics over the years. I believe that there will be substantial progress soon..."

"..." Bullshit literature.

"Where is the Minister of the Ministry of Officials?" Rong Cen didn't look for anyone this time, as if he just mentioned it casually.

But it didn't prevent the Minister of the Ministry of Officials from believing that the letter was true. He himself hurriedly came out to answer the question with his official robes that were too long and too big.

A very funny little old man, with a gray beard, black and bright hair, and small piercing eyes.

"Chen is here!"

Rong Cen only glanced at him, didn't pay much attention to him, and then said casually: "I don't remember much about the assessment system of Dayin's officials, please ask the Minister of the Ministry of Officials to tell me, if I find someone incompetent, can I just dismiss him?"

It's a very common question, the emperor understands that the management assessment is nothing more than normal, but it happened at this time.

Before Rong Cen's questioning, it was a conversation with the Minister of Rites. The emperor wanted to hold the imperial examination as soon as possible, but was perfunctory by Wan Chengshu.

Incompetence and dismissal obviously have deep meanings.

The Minister of the Ministry of Officials is a rigid character, and he really reported them one by one.

"Officials have a term of office of three years, and are evaluated every three years. They are graded by superiors, subordinates, and officials at the same level. Those with the best results are promoted and rewarded. Those who are in the same rank are not rewarded or punished. Those who are inferior are demoted. and be punished."

Two eyes, one nose, one mouth, two ears... He shrugged his shoulders, obviously suppressing a smile, and looked a little hesitant.

It shouldn't be a hallucination, it must be him, no doubt?
"Why did your Majesty fall? Are you okay? But okay?"

A voice of concern sounded, and to Rong Cen's ears, his words were full of "Oh, fell on the flat ground ~ why didn't you fall worse?"

At the same time, the light was sent to her.quack. "

"?!"

"Don't worry, your life is safe. Since I brought you in, I will take you out." Jiang Yun promised.

Rong Cen felt that his guarantee was useless.

The Chinese culture is extensive and profound, so it's hard to guarantee that he wasn't just playing word games, trying to trick her with words.

He didn't say that he would take her out alive, even if he said so, he still had room to say that his original intention was "I will take you (dead) out alive".

Look at him like that, he just wants her to come in vertically and go out horizontally!
It's not nice to meet people! It's not nice to meet people!
"Your Majesty, rest assured, how I brought you in will naturally take you out."

"Shh."

Rong Cen didn't bother with that problem anymore, she managed to find a clue, rummaged along the blood-stained leaves, and heard some rustling.

Just under the leaves that covered the whole forest.

Jiang Yun asked: "Is there something?"

She kept moving and nodded.

Ye Mingzhu was stuffed into Rong Cen's palm, and she held it with both hands.

In the next moment, the louver is flying in the air.

Rong Cen found a new clue.

Only then did Rong Cen see the culprit who almost blinded her hardened krypton alloy longan.

Staring at the huge night pearl in his hand, Rong Cen really wanted to ask: Are you okay?If you don't take out the lamp early, you have to see me fall to be reconciled?
But it was not time to turn his face, Rong Cen smiled and endured it.

"nothing."

"What did you just step on?"

Rong Cen also wanted to know what she stepped on.

The luminous pearl was dazzling, illuminating the Misty Forest very brightly.

The towering ancient trees were clearly presented in front of the two of them. They were dense and lush, and they were extremely well covered. The vines intertwined wantonly on the straight trunks, like a creeper occupying its territory, leaving no room for half an inch.

The tree has big roots and deep roots, but the roots that should have been deeply rooted in the soil have broken out of the ground and hovered on the ground. They are dark brown, thick and long, as if they will be stripped from the soil at any time, and they will be rolled up and swallowed whole.

The soil is loose, sandy and scattered, with low water content, but it is covered with moss, and the patches are dark green and thick.The spring is too full, which is frightening.

"Although you are His Majesty, you have the absolute right to speak, but the old minister believes that everything must follow the established rules and should not be easily broken. Today, if you promote or demote a certain adult because of your temporary likes and dislikes, tomorrow all the adults will speculate on the Sacred Heart and give false ratings. From then on, there are only officials who are sycophants in the court."

Dare.

Rong Cen couldn't find a word to refute.

Wan Chengshu kept his black hat for the time being, and he gave a grateful smile to Minister of the Ministry of Officials.

It was this gap that Rong Cen caught.

"What's the meaning of this statement by the Minister of the Ministry of Officials? Since you want to maintain fairness and justice, why do you speak for Master Wan?"

The Minister of the Ministry of Officials didn't care about Wan Chengshu at all, he was just and awe-inspiring, "The veteran doesn't speak for anyone, the veteran only speaks for Dayin's system and laws."

Fine.

"Lord Wan, you have to prepare well for the imperial examination." Rong Cen jumped back from the topic again, rubbing the center of her brows, "It's time for employing people, this year's imperial examination will focus on the problems that Dayin needs to solve urgently, let's see Is there anyone who can break this deadlock."

As soon as this remark came out, the whole court was shocked.

Not to mention the civil servants, the generals all know that the imperial examination questions cannot be disclosed, but with Rong Cen's operation, the imperial examination has not yet been determined when the imperial examination will be held, so she directly told the whole world the questions in advance!
However, if the imperial examination is really successful, the questions can be guessed to some extent. When internal and external troubles are in crisis, and there is no one available in the court, it is still very easy to guess the questions.

Thinking about it this way, Baiguan still accepts it well.

Rong Cen didn't care what the people below thought, anyway, she made a decision, and the imperial examination would use Dayin's various problems.In order to obtain materials from the imperial examination, she must cultivate cronies.As a confidant, you have to solve problems with her, regain lost ground, reform and eliminate disadvantages, and then rule the world, and then use what she has learned in her two lifetimes to create a prosperous and prosperous world.
-
At the end of the court, Rong Cen's regent, King Xi, and the three giants met again in the Hall of Renzheng.

The two were worried about Rong Cen's practice of making the topic public, and both felt that it was inappropriate to follow the practice over the years, but she didn't want to waste time talking about what had already been said in the Golden Luan Hall.

"At the moment there is no imperial examination. To be honest, I want to reform and eliminate disadvantages. I have to do too much. Reforming the official system is the most important thing, but I have been suffering from no one available. For this imperial examination, I want to select the candidates I like, and Not a pedantic scholar who only knows how to read sage books."

It is the first time for Rong Cen to reveal her thoughts to them. After all, she has studied hard in another world for 25 years, and the thoughts that she has cultivated in the new era since she was a child in the past are naturally shocking in the old dynasty.

King Xi was very interested, "What does the emperor want to do?"

"First of all, to ensure the safety of the people's livelihood, we must accumulate food widely and build high walls..." Rong Cen stopped in time, and swallowed the following sentence "slowly claiming the king", "the logistics reserves are sufficient, there is civil strife or There is no need to panic about natural disasters."

"Secondly, we need to develop commerce. Dayin is far less attractive than Nanxun's prosperous economy. It won't work. It's too poor. The treasury has no money and I can't do it. Reform needs strong financial support." Rong Cen murmured to himself. One sentence: "The three melons and two dates in the treasury are not enough for me to spend a long time."

"Thirdly, maintaining diplomatic relations with foreign countries is also very important. We can't always be like the current Dayin, besieged on all sides, invincible, and the energy of the military and guards is seriously insufficient. If we are not careful, we will lose several states one after another." Rong Cen nodded as he said, "There is no permanent enemy. When necessary, we can open the door to diplomacy, promote sea and land commerce, and conduct economic and cultural exchanges."

"There is also a very important point, literacy! To educate the people in literature, teach them knowledge, and spread civilization, it is best for everyone in the world to be able to read and write. Even if they only know a few words, it is better than being blind." Bar?"

Xiao Lian and others kept guard for several days. On the [-]th day, they finally noticed the difference between Ye Jun and the past.

The military guards overlooking the guards and the archers densely covering the city walls were all transferred away.The closed city gate is wide open, as if welcoming its guests from afar.

"That Pang Chong is indeed waiting for us old bones."

Shaw En huddled behind the first tree to observe the branches and leaves of the shrubs above his head. Yizhou City was like no one's land, and Ye Jun sang the empty city plan.

"Isn't Pang Chong always out of his mind? How could he use high-end tactics this time?" Xiao Lian hung upside down on the tree, his head hanging down, "There is an ambush behind the city gate, and there are no fewer than ten people on each side."

Wen Renxu had already slipped under the city wall in a long circle, and from a distance, he could only see the burly and stupid man shaking his head and waving his hands, who knew what he was gesticulating!
Shao En picked off the green leaves on his body, "According to the original plan, I will lead the old generals into the city, you stay here and wait and see, and continue to send a few more skilled and fast-moving people to deliver news to the other four states."

It's not that they don't know that entering Yizhou City means death, but there is no other way, and they have to go to Longtan and Tiger's Den.Otherwise, it would be even worse when Pang Chong found out that they were here.

"Everyone be careful!"

A group of veterans and generals rectified in place, leaving all the remaining dry food on their bodies to the dragon guards.

Could it be that Lao Ba still wants to take it for himself?
When they arrived at the destination, the two of them dug it out, seeing that there were really ten boxes, Rong Cen was a little skeptical about life.

How can there be 100 million taels? Isn't this just 10 taels?

"Is this the one million taels you said?"

Rong Cen looked sideways, and saw that Old Ba's eyes were shining, and "100 million taels of silver" was written all over his face.

OK, no need to answer.

Rong Cen let out a long sigh, why did she find someone who doesn't know how to count to sell things?

Isn't it 10 taels for Uncle Huang? !

Her dragon robe, what a disaster...

Rong Cen raised his eyebrows, Concubine Wen Shu had returned to the province for a few days after the Duke's funeral, so it might not be appropriate to go out of the palace again.It was rumored that those people outside probably said that Wen Dai doted on the harem, and the Duke's Mansion was already a big tree, so it is not a good thing to be too popular.

"The concubine wants to take her mother and aunt to live in the palace for a short time. Yaoyao is the time to remember her. A few days ago, she agreed to play with her. The concubine is now recuperating in the palace. There is nothing to pass the time. Why don't you ask the sister-in-law to bring Yaoyao along with her?" Come together, lest the little girl cry and say that aunt lied to the child."

When mentioning the family, Wen Dai's face returned to the gentleness that Rong Cen remembered, like water and tenderness, moistening things silently.

Rong Cen said softly, "Okay."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Wen Dai couldn't wait to call the grand maid to convey the order, wishing that the female family members of the Duke's Mansion would appear outside the gate of Chaoyang Palace immediately.

Rong Cen didn't stay any longer, and told him to take a good rest and don't waste his mind, so he went back to the Hall of Renzheng.

When the female family members of the Duke's Mansion entered the palace, the sunset was dim, and the old lady took everyone to the Empress Dowager's Palace to pay her respects before going to Concubine Wen Shu's.

The sky was getting dark, and at dinner time, the Chaoyang Palace was filled with childish chatter and cheerful laughter.

The concubines who were close were so envious that they gritted their silver teeth.

Returning to the province to visit relatives and sending someone into the palace, so what if the father died, who would not be happy to be so honored?
