Chapter 1094 Reforming the Imperial Examination ([-])

"Your Majesty is so loving, and my ministers are terrified. I should be happy to accept the order. However, I dare not take the responsibility of the Minister of Military Affairs because of my humble position. Please also ask Your Majesty to learn from you."

Strictly speaking, Xiao Xuanwu has only been an official for twelve years, and he is already in the high position of minister of the Ministry of Rites. This is certainly due to his being a concubine, but his shrewdness and ability are definitely the main reason. All of them have left outstanding political achievements, and what is even more commendable is his modest and prudent style. No, facing such a heavy responsibility that suddenly fell on his shoulders, Xiao Xuanwu did not accept it wildly with joy, nor did he accept it. Showing a little bit of fear, but cautiously pointing out the fact that his qualifications are still lacking.

"Luo Shan doesn't need to think about the false titles of Lao Mozi. I just want to ask you, if this job is entrusted to you, will it be possible?"

What Hong Qing is best at is to observe facial expressions, just by listening to it, she knows that Xiao Xuanwu's words are not words of refusal, but the true thoughts in her heart, so she will not be offended, so she waved her hands calmly, and her voice Asked down peacefully.

"can!"

Although most of the regulations given by Hongqing are only a framework structure, the basic procedures and steps are already planned, and the only difference is the adjustment of details in practice, and this is exactly what Xiao Xuanwu Xiao Xuanwu still has enough confidence in what he is best at. Hearing Hong Qing's question now, he will not be ambiguous, and he will give the answer neatly.

"Well, if Luoshan can have such confidence, I can rest assured a lot. In the past few days, let's study this charter for a while. Three days later, the imperial court will come. I still hope that Aiqing can perform in the imperial court meeting." It's a good show of verbal battle against Confucianism."

As soon as Xiao Xuanwu made such a reply, Hong Qing immediately laughed, and assigned a task to Xiao Xuanwu with a relaxed tone.

"Yes, Wei Chen obeys the order."

As soon as Hongqing Jinkou opened his mouth, Xiao Xuanwu didn't dare to neglect, he hastily put the pocketbook carefully into his wide sleeves, and only then did he promise with awe-inspiring expression.

"Well, if there is something you don't understand in Luoshan, you can come to see me at any time and try your best."

Since everything that needs to be explained has already been explained, Hong Qing didn't bother to say anything, and with a wave of her hand, she gave the order to chase away the guests.

"Your Majesty is wise, I will take my leave."

It is certainly a good thing to be reused by Hong Qing, but there are still countless difficulties to overcome before actually starting to take over. For this, Xiao Xuanwu obviously has a very clear understanding, and he will not be overjoyed by being suddenly used. It was just a salute with a calm expression, and then withdrew from the Hall of Mental Cultivation, and went to deduce the connotation of the book without mentioning it.

"The Emperor is here!"

On the fifth day of the eighth lunar month, it was the time of the fifth day and one dynasty, and the time was not up. The ministers had just lined up in the small square outside the Qianqing Palace, and the panting of the small steps had not yet calmed down, when they heard the sound from inside the door. With a shrill shout, Hong Qing was surrounded by a large group of eunuchs and court ladies, walking out slowly from the inside.

"Come on and see Your Majesty!"

Although most of the courtiers were still in a state of confusion, but the emperor had arrived, no one dared to neglect them, and they all knelt on the ground in a hurry.

"Everyone loves to be flat!"

Hong Qing walked slowly to the dragon bed in the door, lifted the hem of her robe and sat down, looked around majestically at the courtiers who were kneeling all over the floor, and then raised her hand, her voice slightly He cried out in a dull voice—it wasn’t that Hongqing did it on purpose, but because he was tired. He hadn’t had a good day off for a whole month. He had to deal with normal government affairs every day, and he had to spend a lot of time preparing for the reform of the imperial examinations. In addition to other matters such as railway planning and military reform, even Hong Qing, who had built up a healthy body since she was a child, really couldn't bear it after such a high-intensity torment.

"Thank you, Lord Long, my lord, long live my emperor, long live, long live."

Those who can become courtiers are naturally not dull people. Most of the courtiers have obviously noticed the fact that Hong Qing's whole person looks thinner, and his spirit is obviously not as vigorous as before. Obviously, this is undoubtedly true. They are all exhausted. Regarding this, there are those who are worried, and those who are secretly happy, but on such occasions, no one dares to show a very strange expression, so they can only shout long live in unison. .

"The court meeting has begun, and those who have the original will play."

After all the courtiers stood up, Li Dequan announced in accordance with the court regulations, which represented the official start of today's court meeting.

"Your Majesty, this minister has something to play."

Li Dequan had just finished speaking, when he saw an official in the queue of the Ministry of Rites strode out, rushed to the front of the emperor, knelt down on the ground, and reported aloud.

"Om..."

The ministers passed by according to their prestige, only to find that it was Xiao Xuanwu, the son-in-law who stood up to report the matter first, and immediately they couldn't help but become confused. No one else, even though Xiao Xuanwu had been transferred from the local area to the court for several years It's been a long time, but the court has always been cautious in its words and deeds, and it is really rare to express opinions during court meetings, let alone to be the first to write the book, and now it is so sudden that it will inevitably make the ministers Some people muttered.

"If Aiqing has a book, just play it. I'm listening."

The ministers would murmur, but Hong Qing couldn't, there was nothing else, because this scene was arranged by him in the first place, in order to give Xiao Xuanwu a big stage to perform to his heart's content.

"Thank you, Your Majesty Long En, the matter that I want to play is the reform of the imperial examination that has been discussed for a long time by the government and the opposition."

Although Xiao Xuanwu has been in court for several years, and the city is deep enough, but this is the first time he has taken the lead on such a big occasion. Although he concealed it well, there is still a nervousness in his eyes Fortunately, the words are still smooth.

"Om..."

As soon as Xiao Xuanwu said those words, the chatter that had just subsided suddenly became louder. There is nothing else like this. In the past month, every time there was a big dynasty, there were always courtiers who were going to play the imperial examination. But every time he was reprimanded by Hong Qing, whether it was the fourth master's party or the courtiers who were close to Hong Qing, the treatment they received was not much different. They were all dismissed by Hong Qing before this chapter was written. Now, Xiao Xuanwu actually wanted to play this matter again, which inevitably made the courtiers laugh at it.

Everyone was confused, and there were quite a few who secretly laughed at Xiao Xuanwu's overreach, but Fourth Master didn't laugh, not only didn't laugh, but just frowned, looked coldly at Hong Qing, then at Xiao Xuanwu , his eyes flickered a few times, taking advantage of the confusion of all the officials, he quickly gave a signal to Hongli who was standing not far beside him.

"quiet!"

Although the reaction of the ministers was within Hong Qing's expectation, it was obviously not what he liked, and it was impossible for this situation to continue like this, so he waved his hand and let out a cold voice In an instant, all the ministers who were discussing indiscriminately calmed down.

"Have you forgotten that you must not be rude before you, huh? Officer on duty, listen, and anyone who dares to make noise will be recorded!"

Perhaps it was because of being too tired these days, Hong Qing was very angry, even though the officials had calmed down, he didn't let it go, but when he saw him looking around at all the people coldly, he spoke sternly. Then he gave the order, and all the ministers were stunned by it, and they all lowered their heads quickly, not daring to do anything else.

"Xiao Aiqing, let's continue."

After dealing with the turmoil of the officials, Hong Qing turned her gaze back to Xiao Xuanwu, took a breath, and gave a very kind order.

"Your Majesty has learned that there have been many disputes and disturbances between the government and the opposition regarding the imperial examination recently, which has already affected the appeasement of the country. Therefore, I believe that it must not be taken lightly."

After being interrupted by the officials, Xiao Xuanwu's original nervousness was gone, and now he spoke more smoothly.

"Well, what you said is quite reasonable. I am also thinking about it, but I haven't gotten anything yet. I don't know if you have any good opinions. Let me just tell you and listen to it."

Usually, when others mentioned the imperial examination, Hong Qing would turn a cold face, but this time, not only did she not get angry, but she felt the same way, which really made all the courtiers who didn't know the situation dumbfounded. Hong Qing had been dissatisfied before, but at this moment, even though the courtiers were full of doubts, none of them dared to talk nonsense anymore, so they could only stare at him with suspicion The two monarchs and ministers facing each other.

"Qi Zuo Your Majesty, I consider this matter should not be delayed for a long time, and after all my efforts, I will finally get something. Obviously there is a copy of this chapter here. I respectfully invite Your Majesty to inquire about it."

Even though he was acting, Xiao Xuanwu acted as if it was real, but seeing him shake his hand, he took out a yellow silk mask from his wide sleeve, and held it high above his head.

"Hand it up."

Hearing what Xiao Xuanwu said, Hong Qing immediately waved her hand, and gave a command with a bit of excitement.

"twitter!"

Since Hong Qing opened the golden mouth, Li Dequan dared not be negligent in the slightest, and hurriedly responded respectfully, ran down the steps in a hurry, took the booklet from Xiao Xuanwu's hand, and presented it to Hong Qing.

"Well, that's right. I think it took a lot of painstaking efforts for the Qing family to have such a constitution. I'm so relieved. Let's discuss this matter first this morning, Li Dequan, Xuan!"

The regulations were originally written by Hong Qing, and Hong Qing is very clear about the content, but acting is acting, after Hong Qing took the scriptures, she went through it carefully, and then nodded , praised Xiao Xuanwu with a look of relief on his face.

"twitter!"

Since Hong Qing had given an order, Li Dequan didn't dare to ignore it, so he hurriedly bowed to the promise, stretched out his hands, respectfully accepted the booklet that Hong Qing handed over, and then walked to the front of the steps in a few strides, Shaking his hands, he spread out the notebook, cleared his throat slightly, and assumed the posture of repeating the book...
