Jiang Huimin sneered, there are too many troublesome things, I know those ministers will break their mouths, what else can they do except talk.

"Actually, if there are other suitable candidates, my sister can also consider it."

Jiang Huimin sighed, "The problem is, no one can compare to you."

Xia Qing bowed her head, she was very happy to receive such a compliment from the other party.

Jiang Huimin threw over the booklet on the side, "There are too many things recently, and there are serious vacancies for ministers in the court. If you don't come to help me, I will be exhausted."

It was rare for Xia Qing to see Jiang Huimin talking like this, so she suddenly laughed.

As a result, Jiang Huimin whispered in her ear, "It doesn't matter if I'm tired, but if I'm too tired during the day and can't satisfy you at night, then it's a sin."

Xia Qing's ears turned red. This person can always think of ways to tease her.

Jiang Huimin laughed, and all the fatigue from the morning was gone.

"Actually, my sister can also look at the results of this year's imperial examination, and promote a few from the newcomers, which is also good."

The imperial examinations for this year are coming soon, Jiang Huimin counted with his fingers, and felt that Xia Qing was right.

The imperial examination is a good way to select candidates.

She lowered her head and thought for a while, and finally said: "But I always like you the most, you are my best helper."

She played with the imperial pen in one hand and said: "I don't care what those ministers think, next year you will go to court with me and directly appoint you as the chief assistant."

"This is not good. Xia Qing is a little nervous."

"Don't pay attention to those old guys." Jiang Huimin hugged her, "Remember not to sleep in tomorrow, and go to morning morning with me."

"I want to go to bed early." Xia Qing muttered.

As a result, Jiang Huimin smiled, and gently scratched her nose with her hand, "Okay, I'll let you go to bed early tonight."

Early the next morning, Xia Qing and Jiang Huimin went to court together.

Her current identity is actually very embarrassing, and her relationship with Jiang Huimin has not been made public.At this moment, she suddenly followed Jiang Huimin in the morning court, and the ministers below were all shocked. You look at me and I look at you, and they don't understand what the emperor means.

Soon, Jiang Huimin directly asked the inner eunuch to read out the decree, and appointed Xia Qing as the chief assistant minister.

There was an uproar in the audience, and an officer directly shouted: "How can His Majesty appoint a woman as the chief assistant at will!"

Jiang Huimin's expression froze, "I'm also a woman, do you have any objections?"

The man didn't dare to speak for a moment.

The cabinet official at the side watched the scene, thinking that fortunately he had already seen the secret, this woman named Xia Qing should not be messed with, she has such a relationship with the emperor, how could she be messed with casually.

He had an inexplicable sense of superiority in his heart, as if he knew something great.

Instead, an old minister from the side stepped forward, "His Majesty, although the cabinet is deserted and no suitable chief minister can be found, it is not appropriate to appoint casually. In my opinion, the imperial examination is coming soon, and the emperor can promote a group of ministers." Newcomers, if they intend to promote Xia Qing, they can also be allowed to participate in this year's imperial examination, and it will be justified by then."

He said it so sweetly, but what he actually thought was, Xia Qing, a woman, when you really compete for your strength with the imperial examination, let's see what good articles you can write.

At that time, if Xia Qing's article is not good enough to make a fool of himself in public, then Jiang Huimin can't blame him.

The minister's abacus was clinking, and Jiang Huimin was still a little hesitant, but Xia Qing fully agreed.

So the matter of the first assistant was put on hold for the time being, and Xia Qing picked up his books again in those few days, preparing to take the imperial examination.

She studied with her husband at home since she was a child, and these things have never troubled her.

Jiang Huimin, on the other hand, originally wanted Xia Qing to help him share government affairs, but he didn't want Xia Qing to be obsessed with the Four Books and Five Classics these days, and even spent less time with her.

Fortunately, the day of the imperial examination is coming soon.

As the only female examinee, Xia Qing attracted a series of gazes. When she entered the examination room, facing the sealed paper, Xia Qing opened it and glanced at the questions before writing a composition.

Coincidentally, the minister's grandson also took the imperial examination this year, so he was in the same examination room as Xia Qing.

Hearing what his grandfather said about it, he was very unconvinced, and held back his energy as soon as he entered the examination room.

Soon, Xia Qing handed in the papers and left the examination room.

Hmm, you must know nothing to hand in the papers so early, the minister's grandson was secretly proud.

The comments were all sealed and handled by special officials, but they were announced in a few days.

Xia Qing ranked first.

So that morning, Jiang Huimin took Xia Qing's article and re-announced Xia Qing's appointment.

There is no further objection below.

Jiang Huimin looked at the former minister, "Ai Qing, do you have any questions?"

The minister quickly said that there was no doubt.

But Jiang Huimin was not forgiving, she smiled slightly, "I remember that Aiqing's grandson also took part in the imperial examination this year, I wonder what the result will be?"

The minister said with a wry smile: "Not as strong as Miss Xia Qing, she is at the bottom of the list."

He really regretted it to death. If he knew that Xia Qing was so powerful, why would he make such a suggestion?

Jiang Huimin laughed.

After that, Xia Qing finally had an official status and could go to court with Jiang Huimin and directly handle government affairs.

Later, she proposed to allow women to participate in the imperial examination and promote outstanding people to be female officials. At that time, the people's morals changed drastically. Both men and women could enter the imperial court as officials through the imperial examination. As a result, a large number of outstanding talents were selected, and the prosperity of the prosperous age began. door.

The author has something to say: Good night~

Chapter 85

Since Xia Qing became the chief assistant of the cabinet, she and Jiang Huimin spent much less time together on a daily basis. Jiang Huimin had to deal with government affairs in the Hall of Mental Cultivation, while Xia Qing often had to go to the cabinet.

This once made the empress very upset, and often in the middle of the night, she began to ask for compensation for not seeing each other for a day.

Fierce and ruthless, Xia Qing often begged for mercy.

In this context, the only time to go to court became the time when the two met the most during the day, but they could only talk about the affairs of the court and not complain about lovesickness.

This morning, after listening to several courtiers' opening performances, Jiang Huimin asked if there was anything else as usual. Xia Qing played a few important things, and the rest began to be quiet.

"Is there anything else to start?" Jiang Huimin asked.

I saw Li Xian, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, stepping forward, "I have a book to play."

"Let's talk." Jiang Huimin felt that nothing good happened when he saw him.

I only heard the Minister of Rites speak slowly, "Since His Majesty ascended the throne, everything has been handled in an orderly manner, the borders are stable, the weather in the south is smooth, and the people live and work in peace and contentment, all thanks to His Majesty..."

Jiang Huimin couldn't stand this kind of flattery, she directly interrupted Li Xian: "Master Li has something to say, don't talk nonsense like that."

Li Xian looked around before continuing to speak: "Although everything is going well, there is one important matter that has not been decided by Your Majesty. Since ancient times, when an emperor ascends the throne, he needs to establish a harem and extend his heirs to protect the country forever. Your Majesty, you need to consider this matter. "

Jiang Huimin raised her eyebrows, "Master Li wants me to find a man?"

Li Xian also felt that this sentence seemed inappropriate, but he really meant it, so he could only follow Jiang Huimin's meaning: "Exactly, in my opinion, Your Majesty can follow the example of Empress Wu and choose Men of the right age enter the palace, so that they can last forever."

Jiang Huimin smiled softly, and turned his gaze to Xia Qing who was aside.

"What's Xia Shoufu's opinion?"

Xia Qing's face was too dark early, but now she was asked directly on her head, she took a step forward, "I want to report to Your Majesty, I think what Master Li said is very reasonable, His Majesty can choose a man of the right age to enter the harem, and seal him as the head of the harem." You can also imitate the previous harem regulations and divide them into concubines and nobles, so that the ministers don't have to worry about the emperor's life-long affairs every day."
