In the early morning of the second day, after discussing the government affairs of various places, all the senior officials knelt in front of the hall together. Looking at the book handed in front of him, and knowing the content before he opened it, Chu Yuan's head began to ache again.
"Your Majesty, this time, it can't be delayed any longer." Lord Wang was full of emotion and earnest attitude.
"What can't be delayed?" Chu Yuan asked knowingly.
"Naturally, it is a matter of recruiting talented women from all over the world to enter the palace." Lord Wang replied.
"I said before that the war in the northwest has not yet settled, and this matter has been postponed for later discussion." Chu Yuan frowned.
"Your Majesty." Lord Wang bowed his head to the ground, "The war in the northwest has a long history. When the former emperor was on the throne, he sent the general Shi Huyan to send troops to clear up more than ten times. If it is completely eradicated, the tribes in Mobei are still eyeing me, and if this is the case, I am afraid it is not appropriate."
"Wen Liunian." Chu Yuan rubbed his brows.
The rest of the people looked at each other in dismay, what did the emperor say
Lord Wang also has doubts in his eyes, what does Wen Liunian mean
"Caomin sees the emperor." Wen Liunian stepped forward and saluted.
It was only then that everyone discovered that after the civilian queue, there was an extra person standing at some point.
"What do you think of this?" Chu Yuan asked.
Wen Liunian wanted to scratch his face unconsciously, but after thinking about the occasion, he hurriedly put his hand back. Previously, the emperor only said that he would discuss matters in the early dynasty, but he did not explain what it was.
"Why don't you speak?" Seeing that he had been silent, Chu Yuan's tone seemed unpleasant.
"Back to the emperor, according to what Caomin sees, the war in the northwest will not last long." Wen Liunian cleared his throat and replied loudly, "Within three years, the rebels in Mobei will be driven back to the north of the Huta River and back to the border. Peace of mind for the people."
"Why?" Chu Yuan was very interested.
Wen Liunian hurriedly said, "Naturally, it's because of the emperor's shock to Kyushu."
As soon as this statement came out, the rest of the officials admired it. Of course, everyone wanted to flatter, but such naked and undisguised flattery was rare.
Chu Yuan's mouth twitched.
"It's also because, as this lord said, before this, the late emperor had spent twenty years clearing up the rebels." Wen Liunian continued, "Although the tribes in Mobei are brave and good at fighting, they are not as plentiful as I am. In recent years, the reason why I have frequently violated our borders is that one is the wolf's ambition, and the other is that after many years of war, the entire grassland has long been in chaos, and there is no time to reserve food and grass. Can't stand it."
"So what?" Mr. Wang disdainfully said, "The Mobei family has always lived in pursuit of water and grass, and it's not only in the past two years."
"But the frequent defeats have only been two years." Wen Liunian said, "Mobei soldiers are indeed brave, but fighting depends not only on physique, but also on strategy. During the reign of the previous emperor, the leader of the Mobei tribe was known as the desert jackal. Kanha, although this person was finally beheaded by my Great Chu soldiers in Huerhe, he was a strategist with outstanding strategy, and he was not easy to deal with. Now all the tribes in Mobei are wandering soldiers, and he was finally killed by one of them some time ago. Barely unified, it has not yet become a big climate, and it is incomparable with the scale of the year. However, I, the generals of Chu, were at the time when their troops were strong. After so many years of accumulation, I already knew how to fight in the desert. Ke, the most important thing, my emperor is so wise and martial, why is it troubled by the mere Mobei bandit gang?"
"Since it's not enough to worry about, then we should consider the important matter of establishing the future, and recruiting show girls to fill the harem." Lord Wang said firmly, "Why wait?"
"Calling a showgirl is simple to say, but behind it is tens of thousands of silver taels. In the past few years, there were frequent floods in the south of the Yangtze River, and the court spent a lot of money to reroute the canal. I don't know if this adult has seen it with his own eyes. Today, there are still thousands of laborers who work day and night under the severe cold and heat. Even if they are only a dozen miles away from home, it is rare to go back to accompany their wives and children, just to be able to complete the work before this year’s flood season and keep the land of fertile land and fish and rice for thousands of miles.” Wen Liunian said loudly. , "If there is a wide selection of talented women at this time, it will add another major event to the already complicated Jiangnan Prefecture, and in the hearts of the people, I am afraid that there will be quite a few criticisms."
There was silence in the middle.
"The emperor never sleeps for state affairs, and he really cares about the world. If the first emperor knew about it, he would definitely be moved to tears."
"Is there anything else you want to say?" Chu Yuan touched his chin.
No one answered, His Highness.
"This is this year's exam paper." Chu Yuan motioned Sixi to take it down and circulated it to the ministers, "Wen Aiqing was ill on the day of the exam, so she couldn't finish writing the essay, but her literary talent was too brilliant, so the master made her own decision. I presented it to me. This matter is not in line with the rules, so I would like to ask you loving gentlemen, this Tanhua Lang, whether I will give it or not.”
This is all warm and loving, not to mention the third flower, even if it is the champion, no one dares to say no. So all the ministers nodded and said congratulations.
"Did it happen to be unwell on the day of the exam, or did you contract the disease all the time?" Lord Wang asked sideways.
Wen Liunian scratched his face and said embarrassedly, "I couldn't help but ate two roast ducks the day before the imperial examination, so my stomach hurts like a twist."
Chu Yuan laughed.
Lord Wang: "..."
"Zhang Aiqing." Chu Yuan said, "If you have finished reading this half of the test paper, hand it over to Mr. Li, who has been on tiptoe for a long time."
The rest of the people laughed out loud, and Zhang Li, the Minister of Works, returned to his senses and bowed: "Although the article has only a few words, the water conservancy method mentioned in it is unique, and the minister is really ashamed."
"Which other Aiqing has doubts, feel free to speak." Chu Yuan said, "I also want to see, if Master Taifu is not interested, what kind of talents will those two roast ducks make my big Chu lose."
Wen Liunian wanted to scratch his face again.
Why do you mention roast duck again? Actually, it's all bones, and I didn't eat much.
The hall opening test has existed since ancient times, but there has never been a time like this time when a group of ministers fought against one person.
Wen Liunian spoke at a moderate pace, and his voice was not loud, but he was very confident. If the adults in front of him really want to discuss one or two things, they will be full of literary talent. When the ministers dispersed at the end, Wen Liunian patted his sleeve and said "acceptance" with a smile, his body was full of elegance and brilliance.
Chu Yuanlong was overjoyed. In fact, this should be the happiest day in his heart in recent days.
The issue of recruiting show girls has been suppressed again, and no one will mention it again in the short term. Wen Liunian Chunfeng rode a horse through the long street, wearing red silk and satin flowers on his chest, and there were people playing gongs and suonas along the way. People crowded on both sides of the street to watch, and they all said that it was no wonder that the parade was all Tanhua Lang, who was really handsome.
Master Liu Dajiong said with anticipation, "Has Master Wen ever been married?"
"Not yet." Wen Liunian smiled brightly, with small white teeth.
"Very good, very good." Liu Dajiong slapped his thigh in satisfaction, still thinking about which niece to marry, but Chu Yuan had already issued an imperial edict to send Wen Liunian to Yunlan City to become a seventh-rank small county magistrate.
In this regard, the ministers are quite puzzled. Seeing that they love it so much, they should stay behind to fill the vacancy in the court, but why did they support the land of Shu
Chu Yuan had his own considerations. He really wanted to keep people, but Wen Liunian offered to be a local official for a few years. There is the location of the Chasing Shadow Palace. Since he was able to fight with the officials in the main hall, it would be a blessing if he could persuade Qin Shaoyu, the master of the Palace of Chasing Shadows, to become an official in the court.
Wen Liunian left Wangcheng after ten days, and went to the middle of Shu happily to take office. So in the following dozens of days, the general content of the secret security that the Southwest House received one after another was as follows: The emperor had a long talk with the genius of Jiangnan all night. The talented man's name is Wen Liunian. Wen Liu grew up very well. The king loved it very much. The emperor recruited him into the palace every day, and even had a meal, and also specially instructed the imperial kitchen to cook roast duck. Lord Liu Dajiong told a marriage, but was rejected by the emperor.
Just when Duan Baiyue was suffocating and planning to rush to Wangcheng overnight, another secret letter was sent expeditedly for 800 miles - that Mr. Wen was sent to Yunlan City in the middle of Shu to be the county magistrate and has already left.
…
Duan Baiyue grimaced, and tied the horse back again.
With her back against the wall, Duan Yao carefully moved to the bedroom.
"Yao'er!" Duan Baiyue said.
Duan Yao was discouraged, how could he still be discovered.
"Where did you go?" Duan Baiyue frowned.
"It's in the back mountain forest." Duan Yao was carrying two snakes in his hands, "I just caught, do you want to eat?"
Duan Baiyue: "..."
"I'll go first." Duan Yao took the opportunity to turn around.
"Come back!" Duan Baiyue frowned.
Duan Yao: "..."
"Fight with someone?" Duan Baiyue pinched his ear.
"...The branches were scraped." Duan Yao hummed.
"Who?" Duan Baiyue's expression turned gloomy. In the Southwest Mansion, no one should dare to fight with him.
Duan Yao rogue said: "I don't know."
Duan Baiyue looked at him without saying a word.
Duan Yao: "..."
"Speak!" Duan Baiyue's voice suddenly became severe.
Duan Yao squatted on the ground with her head in her arms, not even bothering to pick up the snake, she admitted with anger, "I went to the forbidden area."
Duan Baiyue raised his hand.
Duan Yao burst into tears.
"What's the matter?" Almost in the blink of an eye, someone ran in from the door.
"Aunt Jin." Duan Yao cried more and more fiercely.
"My lord!" The person who came was a woman of about forty years old. After seeing it, she hurriedly took Duan Yao into her arms, "It's so good, why do you want to beat the little prince again."
"Ask him where he went." Duan Baiyue said angrily.
Duan Yao choked desperately.
"Where else can we go, Yihong Courtyard?" Aunt Jin wiped his face for him. "It's already thirteen, so what if you go there? Auntie will accompany you next time."
Duan Baiyue shook her head and didn't have time to say anything else, she turned and went to the back mountain to see what happened.
Duan Yao wiped her nose with her sleeves.
It's not a place where prisoners are held, there is nothing they can't go to.
so fierce.
Duan Baiyue went all the way to the back mountain, and saw the woods on the east side in a mess, apparently someone had just fought.
Going further inside, a bearded man was sitting under a tree to take a breath.
"My younger brother is young and rude, and I offended the master just now." Duan Baiyue stood ten steps away from him.
Hearing this, the man opened his eyes and said impatiently, "Go and ask your father, when will he be able to practice the antidote and let me out?"
