III Jiangshan

Yuan Youqi walked back to the Qinzheng Hall full of worries, but did not approve the papers in time, because Guo Yi was already waiting for her outside the Qinzheng Hall.

"What's the matter with Guo Qing?" Yuan Youqi asked absent-mindedly.

Guo Yi has been with the emperor for a long time, so he has a good understanding of the emperor's temperament.Hearing the emperor's weak voice, he knew that the emperor was not in a good mood at the moment, so his attitude became more and more respectful.

"The minister has something important to ask His Majesty for instructions." Guo Yi replied.

Yuan Youqi knew that he was a loyal person, and if he said it was important, it must be important.

So he waved his hand and said, "Come in and tell me!"

Guo Yi entered with the emperor.

In the study room of Qinzheng Hall, there are only two monarchs and ministers left.

The emperor had not been accompanied by Tang Xi for many days, Guo Yi immediately thought of another person, and felt uncomfortable.

He sorted out his mood and said to Yuan Youqi: "Your Majesty, this year's women's department is about to start. The previous women's department was presided over by the chief officer of Luan Tingsi. Look..."

Guo Yi said, looking carefully at the emperor's face.

Sure enough, the emperor's face sank like water.

Guo Yi suddenly felt a headache.

He knew that the emperor still had resentment towards Tang Yi.

However, Mrs. Tang has presided over several women's departments. She is impartial and upright, and she is dedicated to the selection of talents for the country, which is admirable.Guo Yi really felt that apart from Mr. Tang, there was no other person who was suitable for this important matter of the national economy.

He had no choice but to bite the bullet and said again: "Your Majesty's lesson! In the past, Mr. Tang presided over the women's department. Mr. Tang fulfilled his duties impartially, without favoritism or partiality. I think..."

He didn't think there was a reason for it, but he was interrupted by Yuan Youqi impatiently waving: "What exactly is Guo Qing trying to say?"

There was obvious impatience in the emperor's tone, Guo Yi rolled his throat unnaturally, gritted his molars, and said: "Your Majesty, please let Master Tang preside over the women's department!"

After saying that, Guo Yi lifted the front of the official uniform and bowed down.

Yuan Youqi frowned, looking at the tall and strong man kneeling under the desk, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart that Tang Yiping had always served the public.

Tang Yi is currently in trouble, obviously rejected by the emperor, and his future is uncertain. Guo Yi, her former deputy, who is only one step away from being able to replace her in the Luan Tingsi, can plead for her from the bottom of her heart, which shows Tang Yizhi's character .

Such a character is worthy of entrustment.

Yuan Youqi nodded secretly, but his face was unmoved, and he said in a bad tone: "Does Guo Qing think that the women's jinshi selected by Tang Yi in the past are the real talents of the country?"

Guo Yi was startled and hesitated for a while.He didn't know how to answer the emperor for a while, so that the emperor could let Tang Yi go.

Yuan Youqi snorted coldly and said, "Do you think that all the talents Tang Yi selects are good?"

Guo Yi was stunned.

How can the emperor answer the words of the emperor?

Regarding the future direction of women's department, Yuan Youqi already has a rough outline in his mind.But there are some things that cannot be discussed in depth with Guo Yi.

Yuan Youqi calmed down and said: "Guo Qing, you were born in the army, and Tang Yi was born in the rivers and lakes. What you are good at is military affairs and martial arts. In recent years, I have entrusted the selection of talents for the women's department to Luan Ting The department is in charge, but don’t you feel that the people you have elected are too focused on military matters and neglected literary matters?”

Guo Yi intuitively felt that what the emperor said made sense, he opened his mouth, and was about to say something, only to hear the emperor say again: "Yes, you also selected a few female Jinshi who are well versed in literature, but this is not enough. The desired results are not only these.”

Guo Yi didn't know what to say anymore.

Why do you feel like being led to another topic by the emperor?Isn't he mainly here to intercede for Tang Yi?

Yuan Youqi stopped looking at him, and said with deep eyes: "Since Luan Tingsi has been by my side all these years, he has indeed done a lot for me. Both you and Tang Yi have contributed."

His Majesty still remembers Master Tang's achievements.Guo Yi breathed a sigh of relief.

Yuan Youqi changed the subject and said again: "But this year's women's department, I want something different. My expectation is that the women's department will not only fill in talents for the Luan Tingsi and the female officials in my palace."

Guo Yi blinked her eyes when she heard the words, seeming to half understand.

Yuan Youqi didn't expect his head, which is used to leading soldiers and listening to orders, to know more, so he ordered: "This year's women's department, I ordered you to be the chief examiner, and Gu Zhongwen, the head of the criminal department, to be the deputy examiner. The two of you The person responsible for presiding over the women's exam. I will also select a few capable assistants to assist you, don't let me down."

Guo Yi was completely stunned when she heard the emperor's words.

He came to plead for Tang Yi, not to plead for an official for himself!

And Gu Zhongwen, a man who hadn't been the head of the sixth-rank criminal department for two days, was suddenly promoted by the emperor to be the deputy examiner of the women's examination?

Guo Yi wasn't jealous, he just couldn't figure out what the emperor was thinking.

Gu Zhongwen is a descendant of the aristocratic family, who will inherit the Duke of Anguo in the future.It is not new for the children of the aristocratic family to directly enter the six departments without passing the scientific examination, in order to hold a more important position in the future.Moreover, considering that Gu Zhongwen is nearly 25 years old, it is already too late to study in Liubu.

Even so, the emperor valued him as a deputy examiner right after he joined the ministry. Such an opportunity can be said to be once in a thousand years.

No matter how dull Guo Yi was, she immediately understood the emperor's intention to use the Gu family.

"Does Guo Qing have any objections to my arrangement?" Yuan Youqi asked with a slightly raised voice.

Guo Yi hurriedly said: "Master Gu's talent and learning, I heard that the minister is very good. But the minister is just a vulgar man who leads soldiers, and Tang—"

Before Guo Yi moved out of Tang Yilai, she couldn't go on talking.Because he was keenly aware that the atmosphere around him had suddenly turned cold, as if the winter had arrived several months earlier, before autumn.

Guo Yi kept silent, raised her head slightly, and peeked at the emperor's expression.

Sure enough, it was even colder.

Guo Yi coughed unnaturally.He can be regarded as a military commander who has gone through the battlefield, but when the emperor really showed his dragon power, he still couldn't help being timid.

Yuan Youqi left him alone for a while, until he heard the tall and strong man cough twice more uncomfortably, before opening his mouth, breaking the appalling silence.

"I know your love for Tang Yi's robes. I also remember her merits and demerits, right or wrong." Yuan Youqi said.

Guo Yi's tense state relaxed a bit, and the emperor said again: "I am not confused. You just do your thing with peace of mind and do your duty."

Guo Yi knew that the emperor's heart was firm, and she couldn't ask for this kind of love.

Yuan Youqi also urged: "In the previous women's exams, you have personally participated in related matters. You are the most experienced. At that time, you must cooperate with Gu Qing and the assistant officials. Don't let me down. Start the exam Before that, I will call you again."

Guo Yi understands that the emperor intends to have more contact with Gu Zhongwen from now on, and there must be more tacit understanding between the chief and deputy examiners, not more discord.

No matter who you work with, always do things for the country as the lord, just be impartial and loyal.Guo Yi was firm on this point, and most of the doubts and uneasiness gradually dissipated.

After dismissing Guo Yi, Yuan Youqi didn't feel relaxed.

She is both looking forward to and apprehensive about the upcoming changes in the political landscape and the establishment of a Chinese government cabinet.In her lifetime, she felt that there were still many things she could do.She is only 31 years old, in the prime of her life.

She wants to reform the salt government, she wants to wipe out the salt bandits, she wants to break the monopoly of several big families on government affairs, she wants to...

She was full of hope that one day, when Mochi really remembered those things, what she saw would be a truly prosperous world where she governed in an orderly manner, the politics were clear, the people lived and worked in peace and contentment, and all workers could find their own peace.

Regarding the future, Yuan Youqi doesn't worry about others, she only worries that she doesn't have enough time.

Compared with Yuan Youqi's smug ambition, Mochi's past two days can't be called good.

As usual, Yuan Youqi would come to the other courtyard in disguise to see her after finishing her court affairs every morning.However, most of the time, what I saw was the sleeping Mochi.

It's weird, Mochi seems to be unable to sleep enough to wake up.

She didn't want to be like this either, but she couldn't bear the fatigue of her body.She felt very much like a person on a long journey, sleepy, very sleepy.

What's even more strange is that, obviously very sleepy, when he really fell asleep, he was not dark and dreamless like ordinary tired people, but was tortured and overwhelmed by endless dreams.

Tired, so sleepy, thirsty, but unable to sleep, so tired more...

During that time, Mochi was struggling in such a vicious cycle, unable to get out.

She also knew that Yuan Youqi came back every day, and she also wanted to be sober as in the past, even if it was just to chat with Yuan Youqi about some irrelevant gossip.

Yuan Youqi misses Mochi so much, why doesn't Mochi miss Yuan Youqi?

It's just that, compared to Yuan Youqi's frank and outspoken enthusiasm like a ball of fire, Mochi suppressed his emotions more in his heart.

She desperately wanted to ask all the questions in her mind clearly, including the cause and effect of the events of the Ran family, including the identity of the old man who appeared when she was young, and even... the "wife" in the emperor's mouth.

Mochi knew that the emperor had the answers to all these matters.

Wanting to know about the woman who was missed by the emperor for more than ten years and imitated by him made Mochi feel ashamed.However, she wanted to know too much, whether it was about her life experience or her... feelings, knowing the past between that woman and the emperor was too important.

Mochi closed his eyes tightly, still wandering in the nightmare, unable to find a way out.

Yuan Youqi was by her side, unable to know exactly what she was going through, only from her painful and restless expression, she could feel that she was not sleeping well.

Yuan Youqi gently wiped Mochi's frowning brows distressedly, but he couldn't get rid of the tangle, and he also felt uncomfortable.

"How?" She anxiously asked Lian Xiang who was concentrating on taking the pulse of Mochi.

When Lian Xiang heard this, the fingertips on Mo Chi's wrist couldn't help jumping, and shrank back as if frightened.

Yuan Youqi: "?"

Lian Xiang immediately blushed, lowered her eyes, not daring to look directly at the emperor.

Yuan Youqi felt even more weird.

Lian Xiang was also embarrassed by his overreaction. He forced himself to calm down, recovered his normal voice, and said, "Miss Mo is prone to fatigue and drowsiness sometimes. According to my observation, Miss Mo is only angry and bloody." Excessive consumption is not a disease."

Yuan Youqi opened her eyes slightly without knowing it, and asked suspiciously: "How can she get tired so easily? Could it be that she is too tired these days?"

The speaker is unintentional, but the listener cannot calm down.Lian Xiang married a wife and gave birth to a child. The emperor's words that easily caused ambiguity made him feel even more embarrassed.He felt that it was necessary to explain it to the emperor, so as to prevent the emperor from asking any stupid questions that aroused people's imagination.

However, how could he explain this to the emperor?He has been in charge of requesting a safe pulse for the emperor for more than ten years, and he has never encountered such a situation!

Lian Xiang took a sneak peek at Yuan Youqi, and realized that His Majesty is really an unusual case!I don't know what medicine I took at the beginning to create my later physique.

Yuan Youqi is also smart, Lian Xiang was so embarrassed, and then contacted Mochi's situation, and the conclusion of "excessive energy and blood consumption", she quickly thought of a possibility, so she pursed her lips, it was really not good Continue to ask.
