Because the bed was too hard, Mu Jin didn't fall asleep until the middle of the night. Suddenly, a light fragrance wafted from the tip of his nose. Before he could taste it carefully, the tip of his nose was pinched.

The suffocation hit, Mu Jin had to open his sleepy eyes and breathe through his mouth, "What are you doing?"

Shangguan Yue let go of her hand, "If Jin'er sleeps again, she will miss the time for going to court."

Yes, I still have to go to work.

Mu Jin looked out of the window, and his face immediately fell down. It was just dawn, and it was still gray outside.

"My son-in-law, do you need me to change and wash for you?" Shangguan Yue's eyes were full of smiles.

Mu Jin shook his head, "No need, I'm not a child, I'll do it myself."

Shangguan Yue raised her eyebrows, "Forget it, the breakfast is on the table, the court clothes are on the bed, and the carriage has already been prepared outside the residence. On the first day of court, there will inevitably be veterans who will bully you. Jin'er has to adapt accordingly."

Mu Jin got up to wash up, "I'm a son-in-law, who dares to bully me?"

"There will be people who flatter you, but I'm not a man after all. More people still don't like you. They will naturally think of ways to beat around the bush and bully you."

It is true that Shangguan Yue is a woman, and it is impossible for her to inherit the throne. Even if someone wants to curry favor with her son-in-law, it is still a petty official, and those important officials look down on her.

There is another kind of people who will come to curry favor, and that is the princes, because she has military power in her hands.

"I can't accompany Jin'er to the court, but there are naturally people from my palace in the court, and they will take care of Jin'er."

Mu Jin froze for a moment, then nodded subconsciously.

A princess has both military power and ministers in the court. In ancient times, a woman like this would either soar into the sky and become the top of ten thousand people, or she would have no bones left.

"Jin'er, don't be dumbfounded, change into the court clothes quickly." Shangguan Yue handed the court clothes to Mu Jin, and said with a smirk: "Or, the son-in-law wants me to change clothes for you?"

Mu Jin took the court clothes, and pushed Shangguan Yue towards the door, "No need, how dare you bother the princess, please stay away for a while."

After pushing the person out, Mu Jin immediately closed the door with resentment on his face, "You know how to tease me if you have nothing to do all day, hmph!"

"Oh, the son-in-law really doesn't understand the style." Shangguan Yue sighed outside the door

While changing clothes, Mu Jin murmured softly, "I'm a woman, so it's strange that I can understand your style."

"Forget it, I will go back to the princess' mansion first, and the son-in-law will also go back to the princess' mansion after the court. I will personally cook for the son-in-law and comfort the son-in-law."

Mu Jin changed his clothes, opened the door, and looked up and down Shangguan Yue, "There are a lot of servants in the house, so there is no need for the princess to cook herself?"

The corner of Shangguan Yue Yang Qi's mouth showed a trace of strangeness, "Didn't the son-in-law say yesterday that I am ruthless and ungrateful? Isn't this palace learning how to be affectionate and righteous?"

No way, so vengeful!

Mu Jin laughed, "Princess, yesterday..."

"My son-in-law." Shangguan Yue interrupted Mu Jin, she reached out to help Mu Jin tidy up his court clothes, "Could it be that I want to betray my heart?"

Mu Jin had a bitter face, "Don't dare, then Princess Lao will cook for me."

"Well, then Jin'er will go to court after dinner, and Ben Gong will go back to the princess mansion first to wait."

Mu Jin had already sketched a scene in his mind, Shangguan Yue smiled like a devil, and a "gluttonous feast" was placed in front of her.

Mu Jin took a bun to eat, and hurried out of the mansion. The driver at the door was Shangguan Yue's driver. After she got into the car, she said bluntly, "Please hurry up."

The man nodded, raised his whip and lashed the horse violently, "Drive..."

The carriage galloped suddenly, Mu Jin lost his balance and fell backwards, rolling in the carriage, "Oh...I'll go..."

It seems that the guards outside also have resentment towards her son-in-law, and her son-in-law is really too difficult.

The officials in the main hall had already stood neatly, and Mu Jin was the last one. Fortunately, the emperor hadn't come yet.

Mu Jin subconsciously stood in the last left row, and the officials in front pointed to the right, "Prince son-in-law, the front."

Mu Jin had no choice but to move to the right, wanting to jump in the middle of the line, but was pointed to the front and reminded, "Elder son-in-law, you go to the front, you stand in front of the second son-in-law, and behind the second prince."

Mu Jin rubbed her head, the position was too front and too conspicuous, but she had no choice.

Seeing that the prince was staring at him, Mu Jin waved friendlyly, but received a cold stare from the prince.

Following the eunuch's "Court", Shangguan Ling wearing an orange-yellow golden dragon robe slowly stepped onto the throne that countless people yearn for.

Shangguan Ling looked at Mu Jin, "Jin'er didn't sleep well last night? Why are there black and blue eyes?"

Mu Jin nodded, "I didn't sleep well, I hope the Holy One will forgive me."

Shangguan Ling laughed, "It seems that the eldest son-in-law is not as rumored. Although Yue'er is a little cold, I believe that the two of you will be suitable for each other."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Shangguan Ling nodded, "It's a matter of business. There's still half a month before the imperial examination takes place every three years. Now it's time for the court to employ people. There is still a Ministry of Officials and a Ministry of Rites. How are you preparing the test papers?"

"Report to Your Majesty, everything is in order." The two saluted.

Shangguan Ling said again, "There are wars on the border, this time the martial arts test will lower the written test requirements, and focus on testing the individual's force, judgment and leadership. This will be in charge of Wu Anjun, Minister of the Ministry of War."

"Yes, my lord."

A minister from behind stood up, "My Majesty, Lin Tianyou, the son of General Lin, was seriously injured and had been hiding in a mountain until he was found a few days ago."

Another official added: "My lord, after Lin Tianyou was found, General Lin led tens of thousands of soldiers to the barbarian army in order to get revenge, regardless of the safety of the border of our country. There is no definite news yet. come."

Shangguan Ling smiled, "Oh, Lin An is not a reckless person, what do you guys think about this matter?"

Everyone nodded, but no one dared to return.

Shangguan Ling sighed, "It seems that this imperial examination is lonely to find capable people."

This emperor is making a naked threat!

Mu Jin looked at his nose with his eyes and his heart with his nose, as if he had nothing to do with himself.

"Report to Your Majesty!"

Shangguan Ling raised his hand, "Teacher please tell me."

"Since ancient times, generals have been dissatisfied with foreign military orders. Lin An's behavior is too radical, and we can't put the safety of the border of He country on one person. I think this is a good time to train the younger generation of generals. "

Shangguan Ling nodded, "Then how do the Taifu think they should be cultivated?"

"This... Chen is old, even if he thinks of a solution, it will be full of loopholes. It's better to listen to the opinions of young people."

Shangguan Ling looked at the prince, "Does Hong'er have any ideas?"

Shangguanhong looked embarrassed, "Father, isn't the scientific examination coming soon? After the examination, we can train them well."

Shangguan Ling cast a cold stare, and Shangguan Hong didn't dare to speak, "What's Jin'er thinking?"

"Ah!" Mu Jin was taken aback, and seeing everyone around him staring at him, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and say, "I think these people are not enough just by the scientific examination, not to mention that after the scientific examination, there are only a few people on the list."

Mu Jin's mind was running fast, "Actually, there are many folk masters, but they will not be able to study because they are poor, and will be ignored because their talents are not comprehensive or not discovered. The Holy One can try to establish some places first. A preschool academy where everyone under the age of 12 can go to school for free."

Shangguanhong sneered, "Under 12 years old? Is the son-in-law joking? Not to mention the empty treasury, when these children grow up, it will take several years."

Mu Jin was speechless, he had received a bunch of presents, the treasury was empty!

"It's just...it's too unrealistic..." Everyone was discussing.

The Taifu suddenly smiled, "The crown prince's words are wrong. From a long-term perspective, if everyone in the country has knowledge, they will be able to become rich and self-improving. The foundation of the country is that the people are rich and the country is strong!"

Another official said: "My lord, but this is too time-consuming. Right now we need generals who can lead the army."

Mu Jin said again: "Then set up a military academy for adults first, divided into men's and women's schools. All participants can not only get paid every year, but also serve the country in the future. Strict, first conduct a basic test on physical fitness."

"Hahaha... What kind of battle can a woman fight, just stay at home and take care of her husband and children."

Just as Mu Jin wanted to sneer, he was interrupted by Shangguan Ling, "Well, the idea is good, but women are not suitable for the battlefield. Even if these people are not talented as generals, they can still be very good soldiers."

The Taifu nodded, "It is difficult to recruit troops now, but the establishment of the college has solved the problem of recruiting troops."

Shangguan Ling was thoughtful, "The Ministry of Industry is responsible for the establishment of the academy. As for how to select and train, big son-in-law, can this matter be presented to Gu in written form?"

This is a bit embarrassing for Mu Jin, she didn't graduate from a military academy, she just watched these things on TV, and she can only recount the outline.

Although Shangguan Ling asked with a smile, his eyes were chilling.

"Yes..." Mu Jin could only bite the bullet and take it.

"Okay, I'm so relieved, Hong'er, after the establishment of the academy, you and the eldest son-in-law will be responsible for the selection of candidates."

Shangguanhong glanced at Mu Jin reluctantly, "Yes, I know."

"Retreat..."

Mu Jin left the hall worriedly, and several young officials came towards her, "The eldest son-in-law is really quick-witted, thinking about it so quickly, I can't think of it in my life."

"It's okay...it's just that I still don't understand a lot, and I have to learn from you adults." Mu Jin reluctantly coped.

"The eldest son-in-law is really humble."

Shangguanhong walked slowly, smiling very bravely, turned around and left with only one sentence, "Sister-in-law, you and Ben Gong are also considered a family, so I might as well remind you that the matter of the academy this time will also affect you. This palace retreats to the cusp of the storm together."

Mu Jin frowned, staring blankly at Shangguan Hong's back, "What does the prince mean?"

"The eldest son-in-law doesn't know, this academy is good, but some people will arrange their confidants to enter the academy."

So that's the case, no wonder Shangguan Ling asked her to choose candidates together with the crown prince, it seemed that she had to think carefully.
