The rise of the president in the harem

Regarding the fact that Liang Chen passed the No. 1 exam, let alone the people in the city were surprised, even Gao Yue was a little surprised.You must know that the scores of No.2 Lu Miao and No.3 Qi Qiao and Liang Chen are all within ten points. It can be seen from this that the strength of these three people is actually quite comparable.But Liang Chen took the top spot with a slight advantage.

Gao Yue recalled Liang Chen's state during the exam that day. He had to say that he could still take the first place in the exam under such physical conditions. It can be seen that his thinking mode and life experience really meet Gao Yue's standards for employing people.

The Empress Dowager also heard about this matter, she thought more comprehensively than anyone else.After hearing about this incident, he asked Eunuch Li to make a noise outside the palace and invited Li Yantai into the palace.Li Yantai had just finished tidying up Li Jing in the morning, and when he received the order from the Empress Dowager, he thought that the bad rumors in the market had reached his sister's ears, and he was thinking about how to explain it to the Empress Dowager all the way into the palace.

Speaking of which, this was the first time the siblings met again after Li Ronger passed away.That day when the Queen Mother directly told him that she personally killed Rong'er, Li Yantai had a hole in his heart that was bleeding all the time.But when the Empress Dowager told him one by one what Li Ronger had done in the harem over the years, Li Yantai felt a black fog in front of his eyes, and at that moment he really staggered and couldn't stand up.

Undoubtedly, his daughter has always been his heart, but when this piece of flesh slowly turned into a knife, which quietly pierced his heart into a hornet's nest, he didn't discover the truth until a long time later How could he, a veteran who had spent half his life on the battlefield, bear the heart-wrenching pain at that time? !The matter of Li Rong'er broke his waist, if the emperor hadn't supported him with his own hands, Li Yantai probably wouldn't be able to straighten his back in his life.

Now, that matter is buried deep in his heart, and only he knows whether it still hurts or not, and how much it hurts.How long has it been since that happened, and Li Jing has such a thing again, if Li Jing is really allowed to kill his wife, then he really can't hold his head up in front of his sister at all! ! !

Therefore, the matter of Li Jing and Liang Chen must not be left alone. Even if he whips Li Jing every day, he must absolutely let him leave Liang Chen's body and mind in the Li family.Recently, the Li family's house is restless, and I don't know which life caused the evil!well!

Li Yantai has entered the palace.The news quickly reached Zhou Feiqi's ears.After hearing what the dark guard had said, the emperor just waved his hand and continued to critique the papers.Liang Chen took the first place in the exam, the queen mother probably wanted to discuss this matter with Li Yantai, for the Li family, these are the power of the court, it is normal for the queen mother to care.After all, in the Queen Mother's heart, Dazhou is the first in the country, and the Li family is the second.In this woman's heart, it's always a big deal, and I'm afraid she won't care about the details.

Zhou Feiqi's understanding of the Empress Dowager corresponds to the saying that there is no better mother than a son.

The Queen Mother received Li Yantai in the main hall of Yongshou Palace.She also recalled the last time the brothers and sisters met here. However, the Empress Dowager had explained that incident to her brother, so she naturally felt pain in her heart, but she was as rational as her, and her ability to control emotions was probably better than her brother's.

After the worship, the Empress Dowager gave her a seat, Li Yantai just sat down when she heard the Empress Dowager say: "The Ai family heard that Liang Chen won the first place in the examination of the Ministry of Household Planning Division?"

"Yes, everyone in Pingjing now knows about this matter after the list was released in the morning."

"This child is not bad." The Empress Dowager said, laughing after finishing speaking, "When Jing'er came to ask Ai's family to give him a marriage, Ai's family spent a lot of effort to choose him from all the boys of the right age in the capital. Such a learned one. The Ai family knew long ago that if the child was given a chance, he would never be worse than when Ai was young. Our Li family, now that the harem is weak, the front court can no longer be silent Keep quiet. Last time, the emperor gave Aijia face and appointed Ge Wang as Minister of Rites, but just having a Ministry of Rites is not enough, the Ministry of Households is the foundation of the country. Have these brothers ever thought about it?"

Li Yantai thought about it at first, but Li Jing didn't give him face, and Liang Chen was already so angry that he broke up with him - but, these words, if the Queen Mother didn't mention them, Li Yantai would not rashly mention them.So, he said: "Of course I've thought about this as a brother. However, this kid Liang Chen has been ill recently, hey, that day," he said halfway, Li Yantai sighed again, and said: "Anyway, what about this matter?" , the Li family is planning to throw a big feast to celebrate..."

He told the queen mother the plan he had discussed with Mrs. Li, and the queen mother was naturally very satisfied, and said: "It should be so. Don't you see it now?"

"Huh?" Li Yantai didn't know what the Queen Mother was referring to.

The queen mother said: "Your Majesty, where is he going in this move?"

"What does my sister mean, innovation and change?"

The Queen Mother just nodded and said: "Sooner or later, he will make a big move, and the accounting department of the household department is just a small test. But since ancient times, the big changes in the past dynasties have not all started from small changes. Has it developed? Don’t underestimate the elder brother of the accounting department of the household department—I think that kid from the Gao family is also a person who can do great things. It’s just that old slippery Li Shangshu is willing for him to become the accounting department of the accounting department. Use it as a springboard for him, and after a few more days, the situation in the court will probably change drastically."

No matter how farsighted Li Yantai was, he still didn't see it.In other words, this aunt of the Li family is the real master of the Li family. This deduction alone is enough to shock the world.

"So," the queen mother continued, "Let Liang Chen enter the accounting department of the household department, and we must get him in no matter what. At this time, brother, don't be confused!"

Li Yantai nodded quickly, and began to think in his heart, the queen mother is pointing him, the emperor wants to use Gao's elder brother, and use the accounting department of the household department under his jurisdiction to make a fuss, to realize the legal system reform in the whole Zhou Dynasty step by step, but a small Does the Ministry of Household Planning Division really have such a big role?

The Empress Dowager kept looking at Li Yantai, seeing that he was first approving and then puzzled, she understood, and said: "Brother, don't look down on this little accountant of the household department, don't forget, what the household department manages, the big Zhou's What is the livelihood, and our emperor has really grown up now. If the Li family wants to maintain prosperity for another hundred years, they must follow in his footsteps at this time. Moreover, the Ai family feels that in the future, loyalty alone will not be enough. Loyalty alone is not enough to guarantee the Li family a place in the imperial court, the real glory."

Li Yantai half-understood what the queen mother said, but he understood one thing, so he asked, "What does my sister mean, that the future glory of the Li family rests with Chen'er?"

"Yes." The Empress Dowager said with certainty in her tone, "A few days ago, two brothers in the harem went to take the test of the planner. After they came back, Ai's family had already asked, and those test papers were comparable to those of the previous autumn The test papers are quite different, and Aijia felt that if elder brother had time, it would be better to find a way to see what was tested in those papers, I believe that after reading it, elder brother would definitely understand what Aijia meant."

Li Yantai didn't know what was wrong with him, although it was late autumn when the dew was heavy, his forehead was covered with sweat.He hurriedly raised his sleeve to wipe it, and talked to the Queen Mother for a while before coming out of Yongshou Palace.

Duke Zhen went out of the palace and returned to Li's mansion without going anywhere, but went directly to Li Jing's courtyard.In other words, the Duke has kept his identity all these years, but he has never disturbed the lives of the younger generations. He rarely comes to this courtyard.Today he went into the imperial palace, and went straight to this courtyard when he came back, and he didn't come to look for his son Li Jing, but went straight to Liang Chen.

At this time, the old doctor Helian had just finished acupuncture and moxibustion for Liang Chen, and was leaving a new prescription, ready to pack up and leave.When Li Yantai came to Li Jing's yard, not only Li Jing had to go out to greet him, but Liang Chen could no longer lie on the bed.He got off the ground and was about to go out when the old doctor called him and said, "You can't blow your hair anymore."

The voice was neither high nor low, but after the old doctor finished speaking, Liang Chen was still not doing well, and Li Yantai's loud voice came from the yard, he said: "If you can't get some wind, don't come out, the whole family doesn't need to be polite."

But Liang Chen still went to the front hall to meet the father-in-law.The old doctor also took advantage of this to follow out, bowed to Li Yantai and said goodbye.Li Yantai was stunned when he saw him, and frowned slightly, but he didn't say anything, but turned around and told Li Jing to take the old doctor home.

Li Jing felt that his father's arrangement seemed to be deliberately sending him away, but his father's order was hard to bear, so he glanced at Liang Chen, but he still obeyed the order to send him away.On Liang Chen's side, he called his servants to serve tea to the Duke.

Li Yantai is a strict father in front of Li Jing, but he has always been a loving father in front of Liang Chen. Probably in his eyes, Liang Chen is just like his daughter Li Rong'er, a delicate person who should be held in the palm of his hand.However, Liang Chen is not a real woman after all, he is a brother, he always behaves like a man, so getting along is more casual.

Li Yantai first cared about Liang Chen's condition, and then asked: "Father is very pleased to hear that you won the first place in the examination of the accounting department of the household department. I discussed it with your mother. It's a happy event for our Li family, and we want to celebrate it for you."

Liang Chen kept his eyes on his nose and lowered his head, and said politely: "Thank you, father and mother, for your kindness. However, if you really want to celebrate, it's best to wait until the imperial decree of taking office comes down. I have to take the interview tomorrow, and I don't know the final result." What is the result."

"Well, you're a thoughtful kid. It's definitely safer to do this. By the way, everyone outside today is saying that this test paper is different from the previous imperial examinations. What's the difference? Do you remember what questions are there?" The Duke of Zhen asked.

Liang Chen thought for a while, and said: "If Dad wants to know those topics, my son can write them down silently for Dad to read."

"Oh?" Duke Zhen was obviously taken aback. He really didn't expect Liang Chen to have the ability to remember with a photograph. This is really, really surprising.Speaking of which, Liang Chen married into the Li family for more than two years. Although everyone, including Li Yantai, respected him, they all regarded him as a generation in the backyard in their hearts. Who really cared about how capable this child is? Woolen cloth?

Thinking about it carefully, I really think this kid is too talented.

Liang Chen did what he said, ran into the study room, first wrote down the ten questions of the fourth round of speculation on the current situation, showed it to Li Yantai first, and then wrote down the questions of the first three rounds one by one silently .He was so focused on the topic that day that he remembered it particularly clearly.

Li Yantai knew what the Queen Mother meant when he read the first piece of paper.Because this set of questions tests not only knowledge, but the ability to be a person and see things.Undoubtedly, such a set of questions must be able to better see the inner world of the respondent from the details, what kind of thinking they are, what kind of perspective they see things, whether they are usually good or profit-oriented, a thousand people may There are a thousand answers, but only one criterion for judging.

Doing such a set of questions, being able to stand out among the five hundred aristocratic families shows that Liang Chen is really talented.So, how blind must that stupid son of mine be to not see such a big treasure house hidden at home!

Blindfolded bastard!

Li Yantai scolded Li Jing severely in his heart.Seeing how Liang Chen really looked at him, he naturally became more amiable.

"Son," Li Yantai said, "I have wronged you all these years."

Liang Chen had kept his head down, but when he first heard this, he raised his face, smiled faintly, and said, "What's the point of what Daddy said. The Li family didn't treat me badly."

"Oh," Li Yantai shook his head and sighed, and didn't say anything further.It's true that the Li family didn't treat you badly, but that bastard Li Jing has been treating you badly, but it's inconvenient for him to say these things as a father-in-law. He plans to go back later and let Mrs. Li come to enlighten Liang Chen.In any case, as the Queen Mother said, Liang Chen must be allowed to join the accounting department of the household department. Of course, he has to enter as the daughter-in-law of the Li family!

On the way back to his yard, Li Yantai was still thinking, why did his two sons and daughters grow up like this?Could it be that I and Mrs. Li's education methods are wrong?Otherwise, children from other families—such as the Liang Chen brothers, such as the emperor and that elder brother from the Gao family who all studied with the same gentleman when they were children, why can they not be confused...

After Li Jing sent Imperial Physician Helian back, his father had already left.Liang Chen leaned over to rest on the bed again.He still heard from the waiter that the master came here to ask the young lady for the examination paper.

Li Yantai didn't take the set of papers away, so Li Jing went to the study to read the test papers.Maybe it was because he wanted to compete with Liang Chen secretly in his mind, but he fell into it when he saw it, and answered the question unconsciously.

Liang Chen took the first place in this set of papers, with a total of 370 points. He scored [-] and [-] in the test.So Li Jing did it again, wanting to see how many points he could get.In previous years' exams, the standard answers to the papers will be circulated later.Wouldn't he know the answer by himself when the time comes?

At dinner time, Mrs. Li personally brought someone to their small courtyard with a big food box.Li Jing really didn't expect his mother to come and attack him as soon as his father left.Hastily went out from the study to greet him.Liang Chen naturally stood up again.

Mrs. Li was more straightforward than Li Yantai, she just entered the yard and shouted: "Chen'er doesn't need to come out, mother just came to bring you some soup and water, now go into the house."

Liang Chen got up anyway, but he didn't go out of the back room.After all, Mrs. Li also helped him take care of Zhen'er for several nights before. In this family, the relationship between the two of them is closer.Liang Chen knew her temper and didn't like those vain courtesy, he was really uncomfortable at the moment, so he didn't force it.

Before Mrs. Li entered the door, she gave Li Jing a wink and asked him to follow her in with the food box.Li Jing cooperated, but he still felt that these were useless in his heart, because he felt that Liang Chen would not change his mind about him.

Seeing the helplessness on his face, Mrs. Li guessed what was going on in his heart, and said in a low voice, 'Water drops through stone'.Li Jingting nodded, still speechless.The two entered the back room one after the other, and Mrs. Li smiled and sighed when she saw Liang Chen, with a guilty expression on her face that Liang Chen had never seen before, which made Liang Chen slightly puzzled.However, Mrs. Li didn't confuse him for too long, she quickly sat on the side of the bed, took his hand, and said, "My child, you have suffered all these years."

Liang Chen still said the same thing, "The Li family didn't treat me badly." After speaking, he gave Li Jing a mocking look.Just this one glance made Li Jing feel a little suffocated for a moment, he quickly put down the food box, and walked out silently.

Mrs. Li turned her head to look at her son, only to feel that iron cannot be made into steel.But he didn't call him back, only said to Liang Chen: "After you married Jing'er, you went to Gucheng with him. Mother hasn't followed you all these years, I don't know that you have suffered so much grievance outside. If it wasn't for your father to send People have investigated the matter of Gucheng, and mother is still kept in the dark! But, child, don't worry, Li Jing bullied you and made you angry, mother and your father will help you get it back. Our daughter-in-law of the Li family has absolutely no reason to let outsiders gossip!"

"Mother." Liang Chen interrupted Mrs. Li, saying, "Let us settle the matter between Li Jing and me."

"How can you solve it?" Mrs. Li hurriedly said, "You can't beat him even if you scold him, and you can't hurt him even if you scold him. In the end, you are not angry at yourself?! Good boy, listen to your mother. It's on your side. Don't say anything else, you gave birth to Zhen'er for the Li family, which is the first achievement. There is absolutely no reason to be angry! Mother married into the Li family in this life, and your father-in-law never dared to marry her. I am wronged, mother is content in this life. But because of this, she is even more displeased with those volatile men. Don't worry, Li Jing learned badly outside and was dragged into the water by those soldiers. Mother and You promise, he's not a bad person—"

"Mother." Liang Chen interrupted her again, still saying: "I want to solve this matter by myself."

He looked at Mrs. Li with determination in his eyes.

Mrs. Li knew when she saw his eyes that it was over, Liang Chen might not be able to keep this child.How can this be good? !

……

At the same time, the Great Zhou Palace, Jiyang Hall.

Gao Yue came back early today, almost as soon as Zhou Feiqi heard that he had returned to the palace, he immediately returned to the Jiyang Palace from the Imperial Study Room.Anyone can see that anxious look, His Majesty the Emperor is probably thinking about Bi Yanjun all the time.Alas, if he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, who would have thought that such an infatuated emperor could be born in the 'family of the most ruthless emperor'?

Zhou Feiqi doesn't care what others think, he is now full of thoughts on what Gao Yue should eat for dinner, and how to eat is the best for his health.And the old doctor Helian has to be transferred to the household department tomorrow.Because Anri sent him a pigeon at noon, saying that Gao Yue was training those people in the household department today, half an hour after the meal, and he vomited during the meal, which made him worry all afternoon.

Therefore, as soon as Zhou Feiqi entered the main hall, he immediately asked Eunuch Hu to prepare dinner, and he strode into the sleeping hall. When he entered, he didn't see Gao Yue, but he heard the noise in the study, so he knew that his ancestor probably Ready to work overtime.

Zhou Feiqi walked into the study room at the back, and saw that Gao Yue was really scribbling and writing, and asked as he walked over, "Everyone is back, what are you busy with? Can you let those people from the household department do it?"

"They can't do this yet." Gao Yue raised his head and smiled at Zhou Feiqi, his eyes were so bright that the two dark clouds that had just floated over Zhou Feiqi's heart were blown away immediately.

He walked behind Gao Yue, wrapped the person in his arms, looked down at the words he wrote, and said after a while: "Can't you just ask these interview questions? Why do you have to list them in documents?"

Gao Yue said: "I selected a few interviewers today and gave them an impromptu training. I think they took notes, but during the mock interview, the questions were not coherent. I thought it would be better to write After a standard tutorial comes out, whichever problem is answered, give them a copy, so that there will be no problems."

After hearing this, Zhou Feiqi felt that this big baby in his family was really working hard.
