From the birth of a son to the separation of Nuwa and her path to becoming a god

The loyal minister bluntly admonished: "Even so, you must not cancel the imperial examination, Your Majesty! This is your first imperial examination since you came to the throne. You cannot make any mistakes!"

Meng Liu lowered his eyes. The original owner had been on the throne for three years. The imperial examination was supposed to be held every three years. However, the late emperor passed away three years ago when she ascended the throne. She was still young. Naturally, she was unable to hold the imperial examination due to the intervention of the regent.

If she cancels this time, then she, the empress, will really not have much weight in the hearts of the people in the world.

The reason why the regent wants to cancel the imperial examination is also very simple, because those selected by the imperial examination are collectively called the disciples of the emperor, and not surprisingly, they are all scholars loyal to the empress.

These scholars are capable but pedantic.

The regent finally took control of the court and demoted everyone who was not good for him.

If the imperial examination is successfully held, won't it bring back those annoying loyal ministers?

When the time comes, the person chosen will be unhappy for her, so why should she bother and be unhappy.

The flood in the south was indeed a real thing, and Meng Liu was not sure what to do for a while.

"I'll think about it carefully before I deal with it, next court!"

After returning to the imperial study, Meng Liu had not thought about food or food all day long. He didn't know how to solve the problem. In fact, it was not difficult to say. All he had to do was repair the dam, cure the flood, and comfort the southern princes.

But the difficulty is that she has no money and the treasury is not sufficient. Even if she comes up with a countermeasure, the regent will not easily let the Ministry of Household Affairs allocate funds to her.

Qi Minghe looked at her with a bad expression: "Your Majesty, what's on your mind?"

There was nothing to hide about this matter, so Meng Liu said it in a few words.

"Minghe, do you have any ideas?"

Qi Minghe glanced at her and thought to himself that although the empress asked him to correct the memorials every day, they were all insignificant memorials. This was something they both knew very well.

He couldn't guarantee that if it really involved the court's daughter-in-law, she would show it to him.

It was true that Meng Liu respected him very much during this period, but he still couldn't believe it. He was more biased towards the fact that the empress wanted to gain his trust to facilitate future actions.

Of course Qi Minghe had heard about this imperial examination, and he also knew his mother's plan.

However, he really wanted to know whether Meng Liu was as consistent as she seemed.

"When His Majesty asked, I said straight away that there is a solution to this matter."

Meng Liu's eyes lit up: "Then tell me quickly and listen."

Qi Minghe said with a smile: "It is true that the south is flooded, but because the late emperor built a lot of dams during his reign, the impact of this matter is not great. Your Majesty only needs to send people to strengthen the dams."

Meng Liu had naturally thought of what he was talking about.

Seeing her fiery eyes, Qi Minghe continued:

"The only thing that is affected is the scholars who come to the capital for reference. These scholars are often weak and have just suffered from floods. In order to avoid contracting the plague or typhoid fever, I think many people will return to their hometowns and decide to refer to it next time. Your Majesty only needs to If we set up a post station along the road and have someone escort the son to Beijing, then the matter can be easily solved."

Meng Liu was troubled: "What you said is right, but Minghe doesn't know that the treasury is empty now. Whether it is setting up a post station or calling someone to escort, a lot of money is needed. This..."

Qi Minghe blinked: "The national treasury is empty, but the wallets of the courtiers are not empty."

Meng Liu's eyes lit up. Qi Minghe was really smart. She could change her mind and take the money out of the courtiers' pockets!

The two discussed it in detail.

Finally decided on a plan.

Meng Liu hurriedly went to Kunning Palace to ask the royal husband to cooperate.

After Qi Minghe sent the empress off respectfully, he was still stunned and couldn't believe that Meng Liu actually listened to the strategy he proposed! And when the two discussed, she did not have any intention of looking down on her. Qi Minghe only felt that the empress showed equality from the bottom of her heart.

Yes, equal.

It was as if there was no gender or age between them, they were just friends of the same age discussing issues together.

He actually felt equal under the imperial power. How shocking this was.

Meng Liu and the emperor's husband had just finished talking about business when they heard the system reminding them again, and Qi Minghe's favorability increased again.

Meng Liu smiled, it seems that Qi Minghe has not recognized his talent, so what's the harm in doing this himself?

Not long after, the imperial husband held an auction in the name of Zhonggong.

The items in this auction were all picked out from the hands of various servants in the harem.

Under the guise of providing flood relief in the south, the families of each courtier knew that they would not be able to avoid spending money today.

However, this matter can be regarded as a good thing. If it is spread, it will only be beneficial to the wife, but not harmful.

Everyone didn't know what the auction was for. They only knew that if there was a word like "sale", they would have to spend money. At first, everyone thought that as the emperor's mother-in-law, this move was really detrimental to the dignity of the royal family, but they thought it was for the sake of the south. It’s hard for everyone to say anything about flooding.

If Qi Minghe could think of setting up a post station along the road and calling in someone to escort him, Meng Liu could understand.

But he never expected that he would actually come up with an auction.

No modern person would have thought of it. It seems that as long as someone has real talent and knowledge, they can do well no matter what era they are in.

After all the ladies and gentlemen in the capital took their seats. They all feel that today is particularly different. The auction was actually held in the palace's theater.

Everyone sat down around the stage.

A male attendant next to Huang Fupai stood on the stage and said:

"Dear husbands and gentlemen, hello everyone! In this spring season, we are delighted to welcome the grand opening of this disaster relief auction. First of all, on behalf of the royal family, I would like to express my warm welcome to you and Heartfelt thanks!"

Hearing this, all the servants looked at each other. The empress and the emperor were very polite. Isn't it just an auction? Who can afford such a small amount of money? Since I have received the gratitude of the royal family, why don't I donate more today? It's a flood in the south. How can it sound nice if you tell people about it?

The male waiter continued:

"Today we have the honor to gather here to raise funds for the floods in the south. At this moment, I think of the people suffering from the floods, the vulnerable groups who are suffering, the patients who need timely help from doctors and medicines, and those who have been preparing for decades just to With the imperial examination, he has done practical things for the people, and our auction today will make them feel the warmth of the royal family, courtiers and their family members and the beauty of the world!"

Hearing the male waiter talk about the tragic situation of floods in the south, many of the male servants here shed tears and secretly decided to spend more money later.

Seeing that the male attendant had finished his opening speech, the emperor smiled and explained the rules to everyone: "All the items today come from the imperial harem and are sold through auctions. All the money obtained will be donated free of charge to those affected by the floods in the south." Common people, if you have something you like, you can raise your placards and bid the price in time, and the one with the highest price will get it."
