Farmhouse Imperial Examination Road

Chapter 349 Bribing Emperor Shun
The night of the twelfth lunar month is bitterly cool.

But Chengming Palace is as warm as spring.

In the center of the hall, there is a three-legged auspicious beast stove, and the charcoal fire inside is burning vigorously.

As soon as the wind from the door opened, sparks crackled and crackled.

Song Yanzhi opened the door.

She saw Su Liuyu wearing bright yellow silk pajamas and a fox fur cloak, sitting beside the dragon bed, holding Tang Pozi in her arms, and a steaming wooden basin under her feet.

The two thin legs were bare to the knees, and the water seemed to be a little hot, and the two tender white feet rested on both sides of the wooden barrel.

The eyes of the two happened to meet, and Su Liuyu glanced at the sky.

"Come here so late? Is there something wrong with the government?"

Song Yanzhi approached him, lifted his robe, knelt down to greet him politely, and said, "Come and see the emperor."

"Just right, I also have something I want to talk to you about."

What words?

The boy unconsciously held the saber in his palm.

"You must have heard something about today's incident, but don't take it to heart. You are the one who works for me, and you are the person near me, so you don't have to look at other people's faces."

Song Yanzhi's face softened slightly.

"I am planning to go to the fifteenth city of the Wei Dynasty after the New Year's Eve. You Changbai Iron Cavalry have always been the fastest to get news. From now on, you don't need to deliver the papers from the state capitals to the capital. Block, you need to worry more."

"The emperor is going to Dajin?" He was slightly surprised.

When it comes to government affairs, Su Liuyu doesn't shy away from it, and speaks bluntly.

"You've also heard about the Qinglong Army. For this type of army, I mainly focus on naval warfare. When I go to the fifteenth city, I plan to build a warship. I will personally supervise this aspect, by the way."

She looked at the saber hanging from his waist.

"You hold a civil position in Shangshutai, but now you take over the iron cavalry, and it stands to reason that you are directly under the military department. What do you think? Are you going to be civil or military?"

Song Yanzhi is a civil servant.

He is a serious imperial examination candidate.

In the palace examination, there is a tripod to explore the flowers.

Directly transferred to the three political provinces.

If you start from a civil position and earn qualifications in the three political provinces, after a few decades, you will be ranked first in the dynasty, that's for sure.

But if it is from the military position.

You must earn military merits to be promoted.

General Wei did not give it casually.

The position of general is the second rank of the court, and the power is equivalent to the six ministers of Shangshutai.

such as.

The six commanders of the Xiaowu Army were the result of a real battle to protect the city and defend the country.

Sima Rui of the Scout Army was originally directly transferred from the military position of the Ministry of War.

As for the female generals of the Women's Army, Su Liuyu wanted to improve the status of women in the Wei Dynasty and made a commendation and leadership move, which is not to be discussed.

Take the new military battalion as an example, after two years of raising troops and building an army, Hu Qingyang is still in charge of a third-rank officer because he has no great military achievements, and he still has to be separated from the general by one floor.

If Song Yanzhi is a military officer.

I'm afraid it will be difficult to get promoted.

"Brother Yan, you don't need to reply right away. Go back and think about it carefully. If you join the military, I want to incorporate the Changbai cavalry into the military headquarters, so that it will be more convenient to govern."

Song Yanzhi pursed his lips, hesitating in his heart.

Following the teachings of the prime minister since childhood, he naturally wanted to study literature, science and politics.

But if you follow the text, you may not be able to enter the Golden Luan Hall until a few years later at the Shangshutai.

For example, Su Youyu, the No. [-] in the top rankings, is now in the Zhongshu Province for his qualifications. In the past two years, he hasn't even seen Su Liuyu.

There was struggle in the boy's black eyes, he naturally wanted to be on duty in front of her.

Song Yanzhi took a step closer to the dragon bed.

See her two little feet on the barrel.

He squatted down, tested the temperature of the water, and soaked her feet in the barrel for her.

His fingers were covered with rough calluses from martial arts training when he was young, while Su Liuyu's feet were tender and tender, and the touch was unavoidably itchy.

Su Liuyu shrank her feet and stopped his movements.

"You and my ministers, the matter of serving people, just leave it to the palace servants."

Song Yan half-kneeled on the ground in a black dress.

The hem of the clothes fell on the brocade carpet in the hall.

He didn't look up, just saw that the water temperature was about the same, wiped her warm feet with a cloth, and let her get on the bed.

Through the brocade quilt, he massaged her legs.

Su Liuyu looked at the boy sitting by the bed.

The candlelight softened his usual cold and proud face a lot.

He frowned, as if he had something in his mouth, but he didn't say it.

"Brother Yan, we are so familiar with each other, and there are no outsiders. If there is something to do, just say it."

She wants to sleep.

Don't press it, her legs are not sore.

The boy pursed his lips and said nothing.

"The emperor works hard for a day, it is better for the minister to give the emperor a shoulder."

There is nothing to be courteous, and it is either a traitor or a thief!

"No, I'm in good health and want to sleep."

The air was quiet again.

Regardless of persuasion, the young man came behind her and held her shoulders.

Practicing martial arts since childhood, he has an extremely accurate grasp of acupoints, and he has his own set of methods for how to relieve fatigue.

Su Liuyu closed her eyes, feeling very useful.

I write too much, and my shoulders really hurt.

"Chen, I don't want to change."

After massaging for a long time, Song Yanzhi slowly opened his mouth.

His voice was deep and clear, with a trace of imperceptible unease.

"Sir, if you want to be a civil servant to share the worries of the emperor's government, you also want to join the military and take over the cavalry for the emperor. Even if you don't have a grade, you have no complaints."

He slowed down a bit.

"If the emperor regards the minister as someone close to him, can he tolerate this move?"

"Brother Yan, are you bribing me now to let me open a back door for you!"

"Ah."

Very quick to admit!
"I'm getting more and more courageous." She crossed her legs and sat on the dragon bed: "I'm not afraid that I will punish you."

"Commander Mo is also the person who is near to the emperor."

"."

Mo Ni likes to make small reports secretly, this is not once or twice.

When the army returned to the court the day before yesterday, he still pulled himself to ask her to name the new barracks Domineering, otherwise the other soldiers would always laugh at them.

Seeing that Su Liuyu didn't respond right away.

Song Yanzhi's black eyes darkened for a moment, he stopped and knelt on the ground.

"It's a slip of the tongue." He said.

"There is no outsider, so don't kneel at every turn." Su Liuyu pulled him up, "Don't think too much, you and I have grown up in love, and I will naturally rely on you."

She patted him on the shoulder.

"I'm very happy, you can speak out what's on your mind." She said with a smile: "You used to let me guess, and I was exhausted from guessing, now you can discuss it with me, it's a good thing."

Song Yanzhi held the sword, feeling a little uncomfortable.

This request is hard to guess.

It's much faster to say it yourself.

"I won't move your official position at Shangshutai. After the Changbai Iron Cavalry became an army of its own, I asked Meng Heng to be transferred in name. Should you take care of the inside or yourself?"

This is all for outsiders to see.

Song Yanzhi was satisfied.

A faint smile rose from the corner of his mouth.

"The minister obeys the emperor's arrangement."

"Then go on."

"what?"

"Keep pressing, isn't Brother Yan trying to bribe me?" She rubbed her sore shoulders: "Hurry up, don't try to be lazy."

Song Yanzhi's smile deepened a lot.

"Sir, obey the order."
