Chapter 67 This Man Is Really an Asshole

Si Jin brought in the brewed tea with the tea tray in both hands, and saw Xiao Qi leaning on the soft pillow with soft ink, closing his eyes slightly to rest his mind.She stepped lightly, gently placed the teacup on the kang table, put away the tea tray, and then sat opposite.When will the emperor let her go back to the Yihexuan, I really miss the pastimes in the Yihexuan.

"I want to transfer your father and brother to Beijing, what do you think?"

"Ah?" Si Jin was startled when she heard Xiao Qi's sudden opening, and then she understood what she said, and she immediately beamed with joy, "Really?" But as soon as the words fell, she felt that it was not good to be so happy, father and brother Going to Beijing is naturally good, at least she can have someone to rely on, unlike her family who are thousands of miles away now, even if she has something, it is useless.

Xiao Qi looked at Si Jin with a happy face, and then seemed to realize that it was a little inappropriate, and put away his smile in an instant, looking so happy, he couldn't help laughing.

"Aifei has such a straight face, but you don't like it?"

This man is really... an asshole!

Si Jin has already deeply felt the hardship and embarrassment of not having the support of her family. If she had such an opportunity, she would be a fool to let it go.In the isolated and helpless harem, the queen has the Chu family, the noble concubine has the Su family, and every high-ranking concubine has her natal family in Beijing to support her. She is stupid to push out such a good opportunity.

Thinking of this, Si Jin quickly squeezed out a big smile, got up from the couch, moved briskly to Xiao Qi's side, pinched his shoulders and thumped his back very attentively, and asked softly: "Your majesty, you are a golden man, and you don't want to go back on your word." Yes, do you really want my father and brother to come to Beijing?"

"I have this plan, but your father and brother don't have merit awards, so I'm in a dilemma."

Si Jin: ...

Doesn't it mean that you didn't say it when you said it? It's really a waste of joy.

Seeing Si Jin's instantly lowered eyebrows, Xiao Qi continued, "I intend to let your father take over the Qian Ding matter, what do you think?"

It was a bolt from the blue!
Si Jin was immediately dumbfounded, no, this is the job of offending the dead.No matter how hard you think about it, you can't cheat your family like this.

Si Jin looked at Xiao Qi with great resentment, and waited for Ai Ai to say, "Your Majesty, although my concubine doesn't understand government affairs, but... But these few days I have been serving Mo in front of the imperial court, but I have heard a few words. I'm afraid my father and brother may not be able to grasp it, so please raise your hand high."

Those old guys in the Nima court dare to point at the emperor's nose and scold them, the so-called "defensive ministers".If the father and brother went to Beijing to take up Qian Ding's errand, and met such a group of people, they would have to be ripped apart.

Seeing Si Jin's eyes, Xiao Qi suddenly felt a little boring, "I don't make things difficult for you, but I... have no one to use." Otherwise, he wouldn't have pointed at a little lady's father and brother to Beijing.

Seeing Xiao Qi like this, Si Jin felt guilty and couldn't bear it.During these days, she stayed by Xiao Qi's side, watching him get up earlier than chickens, sleep later than dogs, busy with political affairs every day, but the group of people in the court still opposed him in everything, looking at him Frowning all day can kill mosquitoes.

I used to think that this was a bit exaggerated, but now I think it is very feasible.

Si Jin is not a very cold person, although Xiao Qi doesn't treat her very carefully, but he treats her well, and her life in this palace becomes more comfortable.She remembered this kindness, but she didn't have any good rules on how to repay it.

There are some things she knows, but she can't say.She is so wise and close to a demon, she doesn't want to be noticed, she just wants to live a low-key and safe life.

No one can use the emperor, mainly because the gentry controlled the government. The selection of talents in this dynasty mainly relied on inspection and recommendation. The imperial examinations were still suppressed by these powerful gentry. withering.

The Dayu dynasty still used more examinations and recommendations to select scholars. The inspections meant that the officials below saw the talents and recommended them to the top.Recommendation means that officials in the imperial court organize and compile talents from all over the country and recommend them to the top according to the ranks.In this way, the talents sent up by these two paths are basically talents closely related to the various powerful families.With such collusion and entanglement, and interests tied together, how can they be united with the emperor?

Therefore, Xiao Qi's saying that there are no talents available is not a lie, but a fact.

"I want to start the imperial examination, but it is feasible without a name. Those old men in the court are obstructing me in selecting talents. It is really hateful."

Extra Enke will be offered only when there is a celebration in the imperial court, such as the new emperor’s enthronement, or such an opportunity only when there is a great happy event. Ordinarily, Enke cannot be opened at will, and will be scolded to death by the officials.

"There are no inferiors in the top ranks, and no nobles in the lower ranks. If you want to forgive Enke, you will definitely touch the interests of these old guys, and I have to think twice if I want to do it."

The boundaries between these gentry and the poor are quite clear, and they will never eat at the same table. If the emperor wants to select capable talents from the poor to attack the interests of the gentry, they will naturally resist desperately.

"The world of my Xiao family depends on the expressions of these old men, how decent it is!"

Si Jin listened quietly from the side, she knew that Xiao Qi didn't need her to answer, he just needed someone to listen, so it was good for her to play this role well.Anyway, everything she heard and saw from this room, she couldn't say a word out of this room.

Xiao Qi didn't believe that she couldn't speak, but that she didn't dare to speak in her current capacity.On another level, there are some similarities between Si Jin and Xiao Qi, both of them are quite pitiful.He was suppressed by court officials and nobles, and she was suppressed by the empress and concubine in the harem, forcing the duo hard.

I could hear the sadness, anger, anger and helplessness in Xiao Qi's words. Si Jinruo, the original owner, might faint from fright at this time, but she is not. She is a modern woman with 5000 years of my Great China's history in mind.Even if you don't keep the historical piles in your heart, you still have some memories of many major events.

The imperial examination was a major breakthrough in history, breaking the path of talent promotion monopolized by the gentry.The imperial court speaks widely and recruits talents. This is the way for the country to prosper.Xiao Qi understands this very well, but he is a lonely emperor, no one paves the way for him, so it is very difficult to do this.

At this moment, Si Jin suddenly understood one thing, if Xiao Qi could not be a real emperor with real power.Then even if she can give birth to a son in the future, can she be a queen mother in peace and enjoy life with her family background?

Absolutely not.

Could it be that the queen and the concubine's house are decorations?How could she be allowed to be on top of these two?
Suddenly, a clear light flashed in her head, and Si Jin trembled all over. It turned out that she was standing on the edge of the cliff just like him.It's no wonder that even though the emperor treats her so favorably these days, the noble concubine is still as calm as before, and she is not afraid of her going out of the world at all.

There was a slight chill in his heart, and Si Jin found out bitterly that wanting to be wise and protect his life seemed like a fairy tale joke.

"Your Majesty, my father and brother can come to Beijing." Si Jin went all out, she needs a strong family support, and Xiao Qi now needs capable officials to run for him, when Xiao Qi has the capital to contend with these old courtiers, then Their Su family is the great hero in front of the emperor.Until then, who in this harem would dare not take her seriously?
"Oh?" Xiao Qi looked sideways at Si Jin, "Why did you change your mind again?"

"Although my concubine is a woman, I also want to share the worries of the emperor. Although I am also worried about the safety of my father and brother, it is also my duty as a courtier to be loyal to the emperor and share the worries for the emperor. The concubine knows that my father and brother are loyal. That’s what I’ve said.” Anyone can say good things, let’s build up some goodwill for the family first, risking the risk to serve the emperor, we don’t do stupid things that hide merit and fame.

Xiao Qi stared at Si Jin and sighed, "I don't want to meet a flower of interpretation in my lifetime."

Si Jin: ...

"The concubine still has something to say." Si Jinsheng was afraid that the emperor would directly order his father and brother to go to Beijing. Since he wanted to go to Beijing, he had to come in a good manner.

Even if you can't control the universe with one foot, you must be able to stand up after entering Beijing.

Xiao Qi looked at Si Jin, saw her looking at him timidly, couldn't help but feel soft, and pulled her over to make her sit beside him, "You said yes, what else is there?"

"The concubine is stupid and doesn't understand court affairs, but the concubine also knows and knows one thing. If my father and brother come to Beijing like this, they will inevitably be underestimated. Promotions without merit are the most likely to be criticized, and a aunt in the family is also worth it. You have to stand tall after giving birth, right?"

Fortunately, she can figure out how to combine the government affairs of the court with the affairs of the backyard.But this reasoning made sense, Xiao Qi looked at Si Jin, she always had some weird ideas in her little head, especially when it came to eating.

"Oh, what about Concubine Yi Ai?" Xiao Qi deliberately teased her. In fact, he had already made up his mind. He didn't just open his mind about moving to Ding before. It was a good idea to entrust this matter to the Su family and his son. Chance.Although this matter is extremely difficult, it is because of this that people dare not underestimate it, right?
Moreover, after this incident, he can also see clearly whether the Su family and his son can be of great use.

"Didn't the emperor want to hand over the move to my father and brother before? That's how it is." Si Jin said in a low voice with melancholy.

Xiao Qi was taken aback for a moment, he didn't expect Si Jin to go with him.Raising his eyebrows and smiling, he stretched out his hand and nodded on Si Jin's head, "You still play tricks in front of me, didn't you think about it before?"

Si Jin: ...

"You share my worries so much, how should I reward you, what do you want?" Xiao Qi asked with a smile, looking at Si Jin, it's rare to meet someone who suits me so much, it doesn't matter if you pamper her a little more.

"It is the duty of ministers to share the worries of the emperor. It is a blessing for our Su family that my father and brother can be reused by the emperor. As for ministers and concubines, it is a great honor to be by the emperor's side. Why do you need to ask for more?" Si Jin said as she approached Xiao Qi tugged at his sleeve lightly, "Without the emperor's pity, how could the ministers and concubines be at ease today? My heart is enough."
