I am the empress, you still tell me to run away?

I didn't think about anything.

……

Don't you forget?

Zhao Yuehan looked at the paper written on the imperial examination system in his hand, and his heart was ups and downs.

To say that she has big breasts and no brains is a bit stupid? !

Second time!

Can this be tolerated?

Zhao Yuehan took a deep breath, looked at the back of Lin Xuan who was picking up the fish and went to the back kitchen, turned around, waved to Luo Li who was standing in the distance, and smiled slightly: "Little Luo Li, come here!"

Luo Li looked at Zhao Yuehan, then at Lin Xuan who was leaving, feeling a little scared.

Chapter 53 Don't call me Taiwei from now on, call me Shoufu!

Taining Palace.

Empress Ji Handan brought the grilled fish made by Lin Xuan to her queen mother Li Ningyan.

"Today is grilled fish, good!" Empress Dowager Li Ningyan said to the old eunuch beside her, "Go, bring a bowl of rice for Ai's family, I want a big bowl!"

"According to the order!"

The old eunuch Yu Jingyi was overjoyed, and the empress dowager's appetite recovered, which proved that her body was also healthy, and the movement of serving food was much lighter.

After all, for an old eunuch like him to still have some status in the palace, it was the Empress Dowager Li Ningyan who was alive.

If the Queen Mother Li Ningyan is no longer here, it will be time for him to retire.

However, the old eunuch Yu Jingyi thought so.

He will probably go with the Queen Mother.

"Emperor, you can eat here too."

Empress Dowager Li Ningyan smiled at Empress Ji Handan.

Seeing Ji Handan's expression when he came back, he knew that there was a solution to the lack of talents in Dagan.

"What's the big talk about Lin kid this time?"

"The imperial examination system!"

Empress Ji Handan sent Lin Xuan's plan to Queen Mother Li Ningyan, and repeated Lin Xuan's words one by one.

Empress Dowager Li Ningyan quickly read the whole plan and fell into deep thought.

"This imperial examination system can indeed fundamentally solve the fundamental problem of my lack of talents, but it is far from being able to quench my thirst, and there are still many restrictions and many troubles..."

"However, you can split it up first, and start the test in Tiandu, but any disciple from aristocratic family, or recommended by a local official, can take this test."

"We first select some talents from these people, and then in the second and third years, we will gradually promote the imperial examination system, so that those aristocratic families can relax their vigilance."

"After all, we start the exam in this way. For those families who are declining and want to continue to maintain their prosperous families, most of them will think it is an opportunity, and they will not think that this imperial examination system is digging the roots of their families!"

"Also, if there is an exam, there must be cheating. The emperor, you can give them the opportunity to cheat, but anyone who participates in cheating, who deserves to be killed, who deserves to be exiled, and no other family will stand up and speak out."

"..."

The Empress Dowager dismantled the entire imperial examination system in detail, and stated the benefits and key purposes of it one by one.

Empress Ji Handan listened very seriously, feeling suddenly enlightened.

"Thank you, Queen Mother, for your advice!"

"Thank you for what I did. What you should consider is how to reveal your identity to Lin Xuan in the future and keep him. If I still have the position of prime minister in my career, it must be him!"

Queen Mother Li Ningyan said with a smile.

There are some things she didn't say, because there are some things that don't need to be said.

……

The residence of the chief minister of the cabinet.

Sima Zhao looked at the black figure standing behind the screen, holding the silk handkerchief in his hand to wipe his hands, with a ferocious expression on his face: "You just said that the old widow, Empress Dowager Li Ningyan, ate a big bowl of rice for dinner?!"

The empress dowager Li Ningyan, whose lifespan was determined to be less than three months by the old medical sage, is nearing death, can she still eat a big bowl of rice? !

In the world, what patient can be so immortal? !

Immortal, in order to carry out the reform, actually use such low-level methods? !

The black shadow behind the screen responded respectfully: "Don't dare to lie to the captain, it is true."

Sima Zhao took a deep breath, turned around, and took another deep breath.

The next second, with a smile on his face, he seemed to be the easy-going Chief Assistant Sima Zhao again: "Ahem, I didn't expect the Empress Dowager's body to get better again. God bless me for doing a great job!"

"And don't call me Taiwei in the future, call me Chief Assistant!"

"Go back, continue to explore, continue to report!"

"Yes!"

……

Three days later, the Chu State Mission arrived in Tiandu.

If someone from Honglu Temple hadn't come to inform him, Lin Xuan would have rested at home, and went to Honglu Temple to go to work after resting enough.

So, early in the morning, Lin Xuan drove to Honglu Temple in a carriage.

A new custom-made sword is worn at hand.

After all, it took a casting drawing to customize the sword, and the scabbard only weighs about 3 catties, which is very light.

As for the effect of the battle, one sword can cut off other people's bronze swords weighing more than 60 catties, which makes people feel less worried.

It is worth mentioning that Lin Xuan accidentally discovered that his waste system was still a little useful, so he had to correct it.

To put it simply, this daily check-in system gave him a system backpack with 20 grids, and each system backpack can hold one item.

The things put into the system backpack can be like the universe in the sleeve of an immortal cultivator, put in and take out with a thought, and can be used to pretend to be a god at critical moments and save one's life.

In these 20 grids, Lin Xuan put the previous wooden sword and the second sword first, followed by some first aid medicine, some water, some dry corn food, which may be worthy of use at critical moments.

In addition, all kinds of cooked food look the same when they are put in, and they are also the same when they are taken out, so there is no need to worry about mold and spoilage.

The most important thing is that no matter how many things are placed in these 20 grids, Lin Xuan will not feel the weight.

From this correction, this waste system is more or less useful.

In less than half an hour by carriage, Lin Xuan arrived at Honglu Temple.

The person who met him was still Du Yi, the other prime minister of Honglu Temple. The two greeted each other, exchanged simple greetings, and then quickly entered the working state.

However, there was something wrong with the atmosphere in Honglu Temple. Lin Xuan asked, "Lord Du, the atmosphere is not right. Will the Chu State Mission enter Tiantian?"

Du Yi stopped and said: "There is indeed trouble, and it is not an ordinary trouble. Chu State is making Song Jue be intercepted and killed on the way to Tiandu the day before yesterday, and he almost died. Fortunately, he arrived in Tiandu in time. The medical sage took action and saved the person."

An envoy of a country was intercepted and killed in Dagan territory.

If this news gets out, I'm afraid it will cause a lot of trouble.

The first is the trust of other countries in Dagan, and the second is whether the Chu State will take this opportunity to declare war on Dagan with old and new hatred.

Therefore, the officials of Honglu Temple who are responsible for receiving foreign missions are very nervous.

If they don't handle it well at a time like this, they will be held accountable.

Lin Xuan nodded: "This matter is not an ordinary trouble."

Holding the bamboo slips, Du Yi sighed: "Who says it's not!"

The two parted ways, and Lin Xuan came to the office and began to review the bamboo slips on the table.

He didn't come in just a few days, because of the assassination of the Chu State Mission, he had to review hundreds of bamboo slips, which simply increased his workload.

After dealing with most of the parts, Lin Xuan heard a very noisy outside, as if someone was arguing or something.

"Get out of the way!"

At this time, someone pushed away the little official of Honglu Temple who was blocking him, and broke in.

The visitor was a burly man with a beard like a curly beard. He was about 1.9 meters tall and held a sword in his hand.

He entered the office, looked at Lin Xuan who was sitting at the desk holding a writing brush, drew his sword and asked, "Are you the chief official of Honglu Temple?!"

Chapter 54 Your Majesty, the Great Disaster in Xiangzhou

Good guy!

Lifting the sword and breaking into Dagan Honglu Temple?

No matter what the other party's background was or what he was going to do, Lin Xuan instinctively picked up the sword at hand.

"I am not the chief official of Honglu Temple, I advise you to put down your sword."

Lin Xuan stared at the burly man in front of him and warned.

"Hahaha, this is how you Dagan treat our envoys from the state of Chu. Seeing that you are an official anyway, come with me."

With a flick of the sword in the hand of the burly man, all the small officials of Honglu Temple who came to stop him were sent flying, and then they directly grabbed Lin Xuan.

The mission of the Chu Kingdom entered Dagan, not to mention the neglect, and was attacked on the way to Beiluo, the capital of Tiandu, causing Song Jue, the envoy, to be seriously injured.

In addition, when the mission arrived in Tiandu and stayed in the posthouse, the Dagan court just left them there, no matter what!

This kind of humiliation was unbearable for him, so he came to Honglu Temple to find an explanation.

Originally, he wanted to find Luo Wenlun, the minister of Honglu Temple, but Luo Wenlun was not there, and the young man in front of him probably wanted to kill a certain nobleman, so it is better to take it directly.

One step, two steps, three steps.

Just when this burly man was within ten steps of Lin Xuan, Lin Xuan drew out his sword.

With a ding, Lin Xuan deflected the opponent's sword and precisely placed it on the opponent's wrist.

With a bang, the burly man's hand seemed to have received an electric shock, and the long sword fell to the ground, almost hitting his foot, but he didn't dare to move an inch.

Because, the cold sword in Lin Xuan's hand was already on his throat, as long as he moved a little further, it would be the moment when he died.

At this moment, all the guards in charge of guarding Honglu Temple came in.

"Tie it up and hand it over to Lord Luo later!"

The guards went down three times, five times and two times out, and quickly tied up the burly man.

Probably seeing Lin Xuan put away his sword, the burly man struggled again: "I am the envoy of Chu State, you can't treat me like this!"

Lin Xuan frowned: "The envoy of Chu State? Raised a sword and broke into Honglu Temple? Who gave you the courage? Do you want to fight Dagan again?"

Several questions in a row left the envoy of Chu State speechless.

Seeing the person being escorted away, Lin Xuan returned to the desk, continued to process the remaining bamboo slips, and could go home after reviewing.

As for other superfluous things, Lin Xuan didn't want to ask too much.

What surprised him was, how could such a stupid emissary break into Honglu Temple with a sword in hand?

Could it be that someone in the Chu State Mission colluded with Taiwei Sima Zhao and wanted to kill him?

But, as for such a foolish way to break into Honglu Temple?

Something is very wrong.

"Master Lin, are you okay?"

Honglu Temple Prime Minister Du Yi walked in holding the bamboo slips, looked at Lin Xuan who was sitting at the desk and asked.

"It's okay, thank you, Lord Du, for your concern." Lin Xuan shook his head, "I don't know what happened to the envoy from Chu State, so he just broke in."

Du Yi glanced at the sword on Lin Xuan's waist. He thought that Lin Xuan's saber was the same as his, with a wooden sword inside, but he didn't expect that Lin Xuan was wearing a real sword.

"It's fine, it's fine, it's fine. I will tell Lord Luo about this matter, and I will definitely let Chu State give you an explanation!"

"Thank you, Master Du!"

Lin Xuan bowed his hand and returned the gift.
