Your Majesty, she doesn't want to flip the brand

To Zhou Xingzhi, the store incident was just a small episode. After leaving the matter to Dali Temple Shaoqing, she was going to solve bigger problems.Qiu Wei is coming soon, and she will appoint the chief examiner of the region, and then send the list to the governors of various states as soon as possible.

The question of the deputy examiner is not a big problem, most of them are local officials or talents recommended by them, but as for the chief examiner... Prime Minister Liu can make a name for himself, but the candidates to go to the local area need to be carefully considered.

If he thinks about the best, Zhou Xingzhi hopes that the people he sends over will be his own people, and at worst not Prince Jia's people.But in such a situation, I can only think about it. Before Zhou Xingzhi could think about the specific candidates, the Minister of Rites sent up the list according to the past practice.

"In my opinion, at least half of the people here are people who have had contact with Prince Jia." Qin Ran glanced at the names on the memorial, and the expression on his face was not very good-looking.

"Xingzhi, there are thirty names in total, how many do you want to choose?" Ye Ningxuan asked.

"In addition to Prime Minister Liu, there are at least seventeen people selected. Even if we intend to avoid Prince Jia's people, we must let in at least two of his people." Zhou Xingzhi sighed softly, "Not to mention how many of them They are in important positions, if they are sent to be the chief examiners, the rights under them will be easily taken away by others."

"Then your majesty should just delegate the power of proposition to the local governor. You can send some lords and clans to some places close to the capital." Qin Ran suggested that the last autumn was three years ago, when Prince Jia His power is stronger than his own, so many of his people were arranged to enter on the list of examiners.

"This is inappropriate. If the right to make a proposition is handed over to local officials, there may be a risk of leaking the title." Zhou Xingzhi hesitated, "I am not at ease with the people in the clan, Queen Mother, I am worried that they have been bought by Prince Jia .”

"Then what does His Majesty mean?" Qin Ran asked.

"My queen, can I ask Mr. An to go out once? I want Mr. An to be the chief examiner in the Guangdong and Guangxi regions." Zhou Xingzhi didn't intend to let the clan intervene, but he could consider inviting some trusted lords to join.

"Father will be very happy if he knows that His Majesty values ​​him so much." Qin Ran said, "However, Your Majesty, once this appointment is made, Prince Jia will definitely take the opportunity to make trouble. I hope His Majesty will make preparations early."

"I know this well. In the remaining list, I will put four to five people from Prince Jia into it, which can be regarded as a compromise." Zhou Xingzhi said, "Prince Jia can intervene in the provincial examination, but next year's examination, I will Certainly not letting him take advantage of it."

"Your Majesty, it's good that you understand. The new army on the frontier has shown signs of improvement. After a year or two, they will be able to form a considerable fighting force." Qin Ran changed the subject and talked about the frontier.

"What the queen mother said is that it is thanks to the help of the queen mother and An Guogong. With the help of the two governors, things went much smoother." After talking about the new army, Zhou Xingzhi's expression also eased.

Except for the troops on the frontier, the Imperial Forest Army she arranged for in the imperial mausoleum has almost finished recruiting.Her goal is to train 5000 troops directly under her own, but after a practical investigation, she finally set the number at [-], a total of five guards, and directly divided this group of people according to the specifications of elite soldiers. Carry out training, and carry out comprehensive armor assembly as much as possible.

After leaving Kun'an Palace, Zhou Xingzhi leaned against Ye Ningxuan on the imperial court, and heaved a long sigh, "Prince Jia's behavior is a bit strange recently, and I don't know if he's holding back something, I'm always worried that he will jump suddenly." Come out and cause me big trouble."

"You don't have to worry too much." Ye Ningxuan held Zhou Xingzhi's hand, "Now you are a wise king in the eyes of the people, and as time goes by, there will be fewer and fewer people who turn to Prince Jia, even if there is something wrong with him. Move, our soldiers will come to block the water and cover it with soil, don't be afraid of him."

"Well, Ning Xuan, will you protect me then?" Zhou Xingzhi wasn't really afraid of Prince Jia, but he suddenly felt a little tired. She had to take care of a country.I thought it would be tiring to worry about a big family before, but I didn't expect that I would still be unable to escape this fate in another time and space.

"Of course, I will always stand with you." Ye Ningxuan gave a guarantee. After seeing Zhou Xingzhi rubbing against her in the public, she couldn't help pinching her face secretly, and continued to comfort her, "OK I know, you have done a good job, and all the officials have seen your ability. Compared with Prince Jia, who wants to plot rebellion, the minister must be more inclined to you."

"Of course, I deal with memorials every day. I'm not like Prince Jia, who said that I cultivated in my own palace, but in fact I don't know where I went." Zhou Xingzhi muttered a few words in a low voice, Then sat up straight again.

Before Zhou Xingzhi could say anything, on the left side of the road, a familiar face appeared out of nowhere.

"My concubine joins His Majesty and Empress." Li Zhaoyun stood on the side of the road and saluted, followed by a maid who was holding a food box in her hand.

Zhou Xingzhi glanced at the two of them, pretending that he didn't see anything, and quickly looked away.

Ye Ningxuan smiled at Li Zhaoyun, "Sister Concubine Li, the sun is very bright here, why are you here?"

The smile on Li Zhaoyun's face deepened, "If you go back to the Queen's sister, seeing the hot weather, I asked the small kitchen to prepare a bowl of iced sour plum soup. Your Majesty can drink it to relieve the heat."

"Oh?" Ye Ningxuan frowned, and looked at Zhou Xingzhi who was sitting beside her and staring straight ahead, "Your Majesty, Sister Concubine Li prepared sour plum soup for you, would you like to try it?"

"No need, I think it's pretty cool today, so I don't need to relieve the heat." I didn't lose my head, if I answered the phone at this time, Ning Xuan would 100% make trouble at night, she wanted to sleep well tonight!

"Sister Li Concubine, Your Majesty doesn't seem to need it?" Ye Ningxuan also smiled, "I saw that Concubine Li's forehead started to sweat, and I must need this bowl of iced sour plum soup more than Your Majesty. Why don't you use it yourself? Well, if Concubine Li's younger sister suffers from heat stroke, His Majesty will definitely feel distressed."

After seeing Zhou Xingzhi's reaction, Li Zhaoyun was a little bit troubled. After all, it's not like she hasn't sent something in the past two months. Although His Majesty didn't praise herself, she didn't tell her not to give it away. Why did His Majesty ignore her today? Ignore it?

Could it be that His Majesty deliberately rejected him because the queen was here?

In just one breath, Li Zhaoyun conceived several possibilities in her mind, and said with a smile, "Sister Queen is joking, this concubine prepared this for His Majesty, if His Majesty doesn't need it now, I can do it again later." Make a bowl and send it over."

After speaking, Li Zhaoyun paused, "Your Majesty, how did the snacks sent by my concubine taste like a few days ago? I heard that your majesty likes jasmine flowers recently, so I specially made some with jasmine flowers as ingredients."

Jasmine?After hearing these three words, the smile on Ye Ningxuan's face became a little more real, and she looked at Zhou Xingzhi with a smile, "Why did Your Majesty suddenly fall in love with Jasmine? Why didn't I know?"

"Ning Xuan, have you forgotten? Some time ago you especially liked jasmine-flavored lip balm, and you had to put some on every time you went to bed." Zhou Xingzhi coughed lightly, and glanced at Li Zhaoyun from the corner of his eye, "Every time I go to bed Every now and then, everyone will smell that smell, and all of them will give birth to some joy."

"So that's how it is." Taking advantage of the wide cuffs, Ye Ningxuan stretched out her index finger and gently scratched Zhou Xingzhi's palm, "How about the craftsmanship of Concubine Li? Is it the mouth fat that tastes good, or is it made by Concubine Li?" Does the dim sum taste good?"

Zhou Xingzhi blinked, and sure enough, after doing intimate things, her Ning Xuan became more and more daring, and she was not shy about talking about it in public.

"I was very busy a few days ago, and I didn't have time to make the cakes you usually make, Concubine Li. If you want to know the taste, you can ask the eunuchs on duty that day. I rewarded them." Zhou Xingzhi said lightly, seeing After Li Zhaoyun's face became stiffer, she added, "Recently, I'm going to be busy with the affairs of the court, so you don't need to send me anything, Concubine Li, and you can escape the heat indoors."

Shrimp and pork heart!This is the shining pork heart with shrimps!Li Zhaoyun tried her best to maintain the expression on her face, so that she didn't look so embarrassed, "I have heard your Majesty's instruction, and I will rest in the palace for a few days."

"Well, as long as you know." Zhou Xingzhi nodded coldly, "If you feel that you can't calm down, you can try copying Buddhist scriptures. Do you understand what I mean?"

If you have nothing to do, don't jump in front of me. I don't like to see you very much now.

Zhou Xingzhi felt that his expression was already very tactful. If it wasn't for the fact that Li Zhaoyun was his concubine in name, he would have delayed her in disguise.She had already waved her hand to the guards to drag him down, so as not to be upset.

It would be fine if Li Zhaoyun kept to herself like Yang Baian or Liu Lanze. Zhou Xingzhi would clock in on time and go to her palace every few days to brush his face to show that he still remembered them.

But Li Zhaoyun is different, she is single-minded to fight for favor.You must know that anyone with a brain in the harem knows that Zhou Xingzhi is now the only favorite of Ye Ningxuan. It would be too stupid to bump into Ye Ningxuan without winking at this time.

"Concubine, I understand, I will do what Your Majesty says." Li Zhaoyun lowered her head, suppressing the dissatisfaction and hatred in her eyes.

Your Majesty, you forced me to do this yourself. I have been so obedient to curry favor with you, but you still only have Ye Ningxuan in your eyes.Since you are not benevolent, Your Majesty, don't blame me for being unrighteous.

That adult was right, Ye Ningxuan easily grasped what a teenage emperor knew.Since she has no way to get the favor of this emperor, she can only go to get the favor of another emperor.

Although the lord's plan is bold, it is not impossible. As long as it is successful, then the future queen mother and queen must be her.

The author has something to say: rub your hands and praise me!
