Happy pastoral concubine

Chapter 1039 Draft
"It's a deal!" Tang Huanxi also stretched out a little finger, gently hooked his little finger, and nodded with a smile.

The two hugged each other tightly, enjoying the sweet tranquility at this moment.

"By the way, Xiao Baorui, where are we now? Where are the children?" Tang Huanxi looked at him, squinted his eyes and asked with a smile.

"This is the Great Buddha Temple." Xiao Baorui hugged her into his arms and explained softly, "Three years ago, in the imperial garden of the imperial palace, you fell asleep in my arms, and this sleep lasted for three years. Now Yijin has Successful enthronement."

"Then didn't I suddenly become the queen mother?" Tang Huanxi asked with a smile, pointing at her nose.

"Yes, you are the Queen Mother!" Xiao Baorui rubbed her little nose lovingly, "My lady, thank you."

"Huh? Where do you start?"

"You came back to me again, making me believe that there are really miracles in this world!"

"Maybe your sincerity has touched the heavens?" Tang Huanxi looked at him and smiled, "Now that I've woken up, don't tell others for now. After two days when I fully recover, we will Heading back to the palace?"

"Okay, it's all up to you!"

"Husband, you are so kind!" Tang Huanxi leaned her head in his arms, rubbed her head lightly, and acted like a spoiled child with a smile.

March is a warm season.

It's just that the atmosphere in the imperial study room is a bit dignified.

Wang Li, who has become the Minister of the Household Department, handed the resignation memorial of his father, Prime Minister Wang, to Xiao Yijin, and then stepped aside respectfully.

"Teacher is getting old after all." Xiao Yijin sighed deeply, "But Wang Aiqing, I still need to rely on my teacher a lot in the future."

"Your Majesty, my father's physical condition has become worse and worse in recent years. Please, Your Majesty, you can fulfill my father's wish." Wang Li hurriedly knelt on the ground and begged anxiously.

"Although Master has reached his sixtieth year, he is growing stronger! What's more, Master is not confused." Xiao Yijin raised her eyebrows slightly, and said in a deep voice, "If Master can stand on my side this time, control the overall situation, and figure it out. Overall, then there is no need to present this memorial!"

"But……"

"I'm a little tired, Ai Qing will leave first!"

"Yes!"

Even though he was unwilling, Wang Li nodded, turned and left.

A quarter of an hour later, Qian Zihan, who had been waiting in the side hall for a long time, hurried into the inner hall.

"My minister Qian Zihan pays homage to the Holy Majesty! Long live the Holy Majesty!"

"Brother Zihan," Xiao Yijin hurried forward and helped him up himself, "There are no outsiders here, so there is no need to be polite."

"Thank you for your grace, it's just that rituals cannot be discarded!"

Qian Zihan still insisted on saluting again, and then sat down according to Xiao Yijin's intention.

"I haven't seen you for many years, brother Zihan is a little thinner than I imagined."

"Thank you, Majesty, for thinking about it. It's just that the children in the family are too naughty. These days, my minister is idle at home and spends time with the two children day and night. That's why I've lost some weight."

A year ago, Qian Zihan, who was originally the magistrate of Yun'an, was promoted by Xiao Yijin to become the Shaoqing of Dali Temple in Kyoto.

It was only half a year ago that he was framed by others in a horse riding case, and now he still has to stay at home and think about his mistakes behind closed doors.

"I've always been very clear that you were wronged in the horse riding case back then." Xiao Yijin looked at him with a bit of guilt deep in her eyes, and her tone was full of helplessness, "Do you have any feelings for me in your heart?" How angry are you?"

Qian Zihan raised his lips slightly, and shook his head lightly.

"Although the Supreme Emperor cleaned all the filthy places in the imperial court, the foundations of the eight aristocratic families in Kyoto have not been shaken. In the case of riding a horse back then, the minister also knew that someone was behind the scenes. The reason why the Holy Majesty Ordering the humble officials to close their eyes and think about their mistakes is actually a form of protection in disguise.

So this humble minister can understand the good intentions of the Holy Majesty. "

Xiao Yijin nodded slightly, with a little more relief in her eyes.

He reached out and patted Qian Zihan's shoulder, saying nothing.

"If I guessed correctly, the Holy Majesty's invitation to the palace this time must be for the reform of the scientific examination system?"

"Well," Xiao Yijin nodded, his eyes gleaming with the brilliance of what he must win, "Since the founding of Dayong, most of the scientific examination system has existed for the powerful children of the noble families. Among the eight great families in the capital, There are five families that play a pivotal role in the imperial court, and the other three are more or less involved in military power."

"If you can't centralize power, then this is a big hidden danger in the future." Xiao Yijin thought for a while, and expressed her worries, "Wang Yibo has taught me for so many years, and I originally thought he would support me This decision, but I really never expected that this time, Mr. will stand on the opposite side of me."

"My lord, this is not surprising." Qian Zihan looked at the doubts on his face and explained with a light smile, "The eight great families in Kyoto, the Murong royal family, the Qin family, the Zhang family, the Wei family, the He family, the Xie family, and the Cheng family .”

"one left?"

"Wang's family." Qian Zihan looked at him and explained softly, "Has the Holy One forgotten the ancestors of Wang Taifu?"

Wang Yibo's father used to be Wang Lei, the chief of the Imperial Forest Army.

It's just that Wang Lei was squeezed out by his political opponents back then, which forced Wang Yibo's family to relocate.

Later, by mistake, Wang Yibo became the teacher of Xiao Yijin, who was only the prince at that time, and has skyrocketed ever since.

"I have indeed overlooked this point," Xiao Yijin instantly understood Wang Yibo's position, and said with some regret, "I originally thought that my husband felt that the policies I issued were too radical, but I didn't want to just because this time I met the teacher's interests. .”

"Brother Zihan, in your opinion, what should I do in this matter?"

"If you want to disintegrate the power of the family, there is the simplest and most convenient way."

"any solution?"

"His Highness is thirteen now, and it's time for the harem to choose a concubine."

"what do you mean?"

"The reason why these aristocratic families in Kyoto are inseparable is because they all have the same pursuit of common interests, but what if their interests conflict? If I remember correctly, the eight aristocratic families except the prime minister's mansion, other There are women of the right age in the mansion who can enter the palace to participate in the draft."

Xiao Yijin gradually calmed down, carefully considering the feasibility of this matter.

"Your Majesty, if you have the same attitude towards feelings as the Supreme Emperor, then there is no need to take this approach." Qian Zihan thought for a while, looked at him, and said sincerely, "From the perspective of an elder, this humble minister is still I hope the Holy Majesty can find a woman who will be with me for the rest of my life; from the perspective of a courtier, I hope that the Holy Majesty can seriously consider the matter of the draft."
