Dashang Imperial Palace, in the Golden Luan Hall.

"Xi'er has a good eye. Gu Qing is indeed a great talent. If it weren't for Gu Qing, I don't know how long these lackeys who are working for our dynasty on the surface, but are actually struggling with the aristocratic family will be lurking!"

Gu Biao bowed his hands modestly: "Your Majesty has praised you absurdly, but I'm just doing my duty."

"Hey, Gu Qing is being modest. I see everything you do. I want you to be in charge of the Criminal Department. I wonder if Gu Qing is interested in formally becoming an official of my business?"

King Zhou Di Xin waved his hands, and then stared at Gu Biao with burning eyes.

However, Di Xin did not expect that Gu Biao refused what he thought was a sure thing.

"Reporting to the king, I have thanked the king for his approval and kindness, but I just want to be an idle vagrant, and it is enough to do something for the eldest princess within the scope of my ability, and I don't want to become an official in the court."

Just kidding, I want to lock Gu Biao firmly in a certain position, and lose his freedom from now on, is that okay?
Hearing Gu Biao's refusal, Di Xin was silent for a while.

Now that Lin Yi's family and several aristocratic families who had blatantly turned to Ji Chang were taken away, a large number of positions were left empty in the court and no one took them over.

He originally wanted Gu Biao to take over the Ministry of Criminal Justice, so that he could use his talents in solving cases, but he didn't expect that Lang had no intention of concubine love.

Di Xin was a little annoyed, but turned to look at Di Yunxi, and suppressed it again.

Forget it, after all, it's the person my daughter likes, so if you don't want to be an official, don't do it.

"In this case, then I will give you the position of the fourth-rank royal guard with a knife. Usually, you are responsible for the safety of the eldest princess."

"I thank you, Your Majesty."

Di Xin waved his hand.

Seeing that Di Xin's interest obviously became less high, Gu Biao thought of what Di Yunxi told him when he came.

Big business is now facing two difficulties.

On the one hand, it is the pressure from Ji Chang and the aristocratic family, and it is expected that the war will start in spring.

On the other hand, after this round of purges, the important officials in the court were panicked and their positions were vacant, which had already begun to affect the operation of the dynasty...

Gu Biao thought for a while, then clasped his fists and said: "I know that the dynasty is difficult and affairs are busy, I have a plan, and I want to tell the king."

Di Xin stared at Gu Biao's cheeks, wanting to see what was going on in the mind of this man who didn't want to be an official, but he didn't see anything wrong, but he could see the sincerity on Gu Biao's face.

After pondering for a while, Di Xin said, "Speaking of which, I'm listening."

After getting permission, Gu Biao opened his mouth and said: "I believe that the current court lacks capable ministers to hold important positions, especially since the war with the Puppet Zhou is about to start in the spring of next year, the imperial examination system should be launched early to select talents and talents!"

"At the same time, a new round of assessments will be launched for officials living in various places, mainly based on the opinions of the people, reports, and government affairs capabilities. If they are capable, they will be promoted. If they are incompetent, they will be dismissed and exiled..."

Di Xin stroked his chin and pondered: "Well, what Gu Qing said is very true, Yunxi, the Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of Rites will go to court, and this matter needs to be discussed in detail..."

Dressed in a bright red costume, Di Yunxi, who had been standing silently by the side, took a step forward and nodded in agreement.

Then the jade finger flew, and the talisman ignited a faint light and danced in the air, and then flew straight to the outside of the palace.

Seeing Gu Biao secretly smacking his tongue.

This Xianwu world is different, even the contact method has improved...

……

It was dusk when Di Yunxi and Di Yunxi came out of the palace again.

Regarding how to conduct the imperial examination system, whether to continue the previous system during this critical period, and how to improve the evaluation mechanism for officials, a group of people discussed for a whole day, and only then did they have a rough framework.

Now that the suggestions that should be made have been made, as for the rest, it will be handed over to the Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of Rites to improve, and it is none of Gu Biao's business.

"By the way, is there any news about Princess Lingfeng?" Gu Biao turned to Di Yunxi and asked.

Di Yunxi shook his head: "Jiejiao sent letters back and forth, saying that Lingfeng is now practicing in Jiejiao at a critical moment, and he will come back after a while, but this is what Zhao Gongming, a disciple of Jiejiao's first generation, said."

"This..." Hearing what Di Yunxi said, Gu Biao was speechless.

If she didn't come back, wouldn't Princess Lingfeng pass the message by herself? Why bother Zhao Gongming, a dignified disciple of the first generation?

"Well, I guess, Lingfeng is probably under house arrest..."

"How dare you stop teaching?" Gu Biao's face was also a little gloomy.

Di Yunxi smiled coldly: "Now that the big business is in turmoil, what are they afraid of?"

"Then won't the king make a move?"

Hearing Gu Biao's question, Di Yunxi sighed: "Father doesn't like Lingfeng very much... But I listened to your suggestion and persuaded Father, and Father also personally sent a letter to threaten Jiejiao Lingfeng should be under house arrest for the time being, and his life will not be in danger, but the rescue can only wait after the war with Puppet Zhou..."

Gu Biao nodded. It is true that now that the big merchants are surrounded by enemies, the war with King Wen of Zhou, Jichang, and other aristocratic families is about to start, and they really don't have the energy to solve the matter of a princess who is out of power.

Since Di Lingfeng is not worried about his life now, it can only be resolved after the war.

I just don't know how long this battle will last...

"By the way, tomorrow is New Year's Eve, why don't you go shopping with me tonight..."

"Nuo, I wonder where Xiaoxi wants to go first?"

Hearing Gu Biao call himself Xiaoxi again, Di Yunxi gave Gu Biao a hard look, and Gu Biao just laughed.

After leaving the palace, Di Yunxi's bright red robe flew up into the air, and Gu Biao hurriedly followed.

Looking at the beautiful figure who started to like to wear the big red robe in front of him, Gu Biao felt a little emotional in his heart.

After a while, the two landed at the Zuixian Tower in the south of the city. At this time, Di Yunxi also put on a light blue veil, completely covering his beautiful face.

But even so, Di Yunxi's slender figure instantly attracted everyone's attention.

Gu Biao hurried forward, took Di Yunxi's slender and fair hands and walked straight in.

"Xiao Er, the box on the fourth floor, serve me all the special dishes you have here!"

Di Yunxi was pulled up by Gu Biao, quietly looked at the man who was holding his left hand, and did not speak...
