Great Zhou Empress

Yan Hai's plan is to let Yan Yi give full play to her current advantages as a chef and successfully break into the palace, and then play by ear and use poison on the emperor and queen mother.

In fact, Yan Yi often does such secret missions. According to current terms, she is the most mysterious type of agent.

However, her work is generally some layout long-term work.

She didn't feel any fear of danger at all, and she was running rationally in her mind on how to operate to achieve the best effect.

The cooks in the palace are not randomly found among the people, so if Yan Yi wants to get in touch with the food of the palace, he can only follow the path of officials or nobles, and first become the chef in their mansion.

Xue Zhijing and Yuan Jin walked into her Xinchang building.

Xue Zhijing asked the waiters to prepare some dishes, and specifically ordered their boss's braised pork.

It turned out that the two were going to visit Li Jing in the prison of Jingzhao Mansion.

"Xiao Jing, you said that the assassin who assassinated the empress can't be found now, Li Jing can't get out of prison, and I'm still under censorship and can't go to the border. Why are everything rushed together?" Yuan Jin said. Everyone is a little anxious.

Xue Zhijing poured her tea, and said slowly, "The assassin can't be found, it would be good to clean up the whole court. I think Li Jing's side will come out in two days, but your side will be more troublesome." .”

Then, Xue Zhijing and Yuan Jin briefly mentioned some of their recent thoughts, and sorted out their thoughts by the way.

After hearing this, Yuan Jin became excited immediately, patted his thigh and said, "It should have been like this a long time ago, Xiao Jing, I support you."

Xue Zhijing smiled, "Do you know how much resistance you have to face? It's not that easy."

"If you don't do it, I think the Dacheng Dynasty is about to perish."

The two were talking, and the dishes were served.

When the waiter brought up the braised pork, their owner, Yan Yi, also came over.

Xue Zhijing only thought that Yan Yi knew her and came to say hello, and he also greeted her politely.

After exchanging pleasantries, Yan Yi asked Xue Zhijing, "Aunt Xue, I have a question to ask you."

"You said."

"My first-hand cooking skills are inherited from my father. Recently he wrote to me, hoping that I will carry forward the family business, but at present I have reached the limit of opening this restaurant. I would like to ask Aunt Xue if there is any good way to make the family business more prosperous. Let's promote the Xinchang Building?"

It's really rare, Yan Yi seldom speaks such a long paragraph, and it's fortunate that Zhao Wutong is not here, Xue Zhijing doesn't know much about Yan Yi's reticence, so he didn't notice her abnormality.

Xue Zhijing naturally liked Yan Yi, and what he liked was her culinary skills, otherwise he wouldn't have brought Yuan Jin to dinner, and he wouldn't have bought some takeaway to see Li Jing.

So she smiled and said to Yan Qi, "It's easy to handle, I'll give you a trick. You can contact the guild of your restaurant to organize a cooking competition in Jiankang City, and invite people with status and status in Jiankang City People come to taste the food. Your braised pork will definitely come out on top. This method not only satisfies everyone’s curiosity, but also promotes it in the most effective way.”

"Thank you, Aunt Xue."

"If it's really going to happen, I'll be the one who tastes delicious food." Xue Zhijing said with a smile.

"That's natural."

The reason why Yan Yi asked Xue Zhijing was because she wanted to hear her opinion, and because she wanted to have a deeper contact with her. Now, both aspects have met expectations.

Xue Zhijing and Yuan Jin went to the prison with fresh dishes.

Jing Zhaoyin arranged a single room for Li Jing, which was clean and even had windows. If it wasn't for being unable to move around freely, it would be similar to confinement at home.

The two discovered that Ting Lan was also there.

Before she got close to Li Jing's room, she heard Ting Lan say in a sobbing voice, "It's all my fault, if I listened to that little father-in-law that day and went to his house to sing for him, you don't have to stay here all the time." on."

Li Jing said in a gentle tone, "Didn't I tell you everything, it has nothing to do with you, that little father-in-law is used to being domineering, even if he listens to everything, he will not be satisfied."

"That's better than the current situation. I ask Young Master Tong every day, and he also said that I can only wait, but I feel like I am tormented in a fire every day. How can I wait?"

Hearing this, Xue Zhijing and Yuan Jin looked at each other in blank dismay.

Miss Ting Lan is starting to suffer for Li Jing.

After the two talked for a while, Xue Zhijing "coughed" twice, and then walked over with Yuan Jin.

After hearing what Xue Zhijing said, and reckoning that Li Jing could go out in two days, Ting Lan felt relieved and left.

Xue Zhijing and Yuan Jin put all kinds of dishes on the table, and then asked how Li Jing was feeling today.

When she first came in, she was beaten up by the young master of Wei Guogong's family. Although Sun Miaoer had treated her, she had to take care of it slowly to get better. The bruises on her face were basically invisible, but her legs It's still a little wobbly when walking.

Fortunately, Sun Miaoer said that it will be fine, otherwise Xue Zhijing and Yuan Jin would definitely not be as calm as they are now.

Xue Zhijing told Li Jing again what he had said to Yuan Jin, "When you come out in two days, we will go to the other party's mansion, and we should be fine, but Lichun Courtyard needs some time to open. "

At the same time, Li Jing's eyes lit up when Xue Zhijing mentioned that a new Enke would be promoted this year.

Enke is an additional imperial examination when the new emperor ascends the throne or some special year, so that most candidates will have one more chance and will be grateful to the court. It is a good way to recruit talents.

It's just that although Li Jing's eyes lit up, she didn't say much.

After leaving Li Jing's place, he went to Jing Zhaoyin's place to sit for a while before Xue Zhijing returned to the palace.

At this time, I happened to meet Ayila who had a closed door outside Yuan Hanzhang's study.

Ayila has never had a closed door at Yuan Hanzhang's place. The maid at the door seems to have been instructed by Yuan Hanzhang not to leave any gaps, saying that Yuan Hanzhang has a lot of things today, if Ayila wants to report The matter is not urgent, so I ask Ayla to go back first.

How can Ayila say that she just misses Yuan Hanzhang, and this is not an urgent matter as the maid said.

Although for her, it is urgent.

Xue Zhijing greeted Ayila, watched her leave with disappointment in her eyes, and went into Yuan Hanzhang's study without thinking about it.

Naturally, the maid would not stop her.

Yuan Hanzhang was reviewing the documents, Xue Zhijing helped her sort it out, and took the tea from the maid to add to Yuan Hanzhang.

When Yuan Hanzhang saw a document, he was so angry that he threw it on several cases.

"What time is this, what's going on in your mind?"

Xue Zhijing took it over and saw that it was actually a document handed over by an official from another place, not to report the local situation, but to say that the emperor is 20 years older, is it too big?Still have no sons, shouldn't he adopt a son of the clan early, so that he can defeat others without fighting, and let the Duke of Qin in the west retreat because of unreasonableness.

Yuan Hanzhang got up from his chair angrily and walked back and forth in the room.

It may also be because her son was mentioned. The continuation of her son's body and heirs caused her the most headaches, and it can be said to be her only weakness.

"Tell me, Yan'er's queen is already pregnant. Why, is this a court crisis?"

"Also, what does he mean by that? Is it because my Yan'er made a mistake and has no son?"

"Clan? I don't think it's a child of the adopted clan. He wants to help the dragon. Anyone who adopts should thank him."

"Your Majesty, come, have a sip of tea, Doctor Miao'er said, so you don't have to worry about it."

Yuan Hanzhang took the tea handed over by Xue Zhijing, took a sip, and tried to calm down, how could she not know the emotions she should control.

But it's really pissing me off.

I can't wait to replace them all.

Seeing that Yuan Hanzhang seemed to have calmed down a lot, Xue Zhijing said slowly, "Madam, I've thought about it for several days, and I think we can no longer be so passive, we must take the initiative to do something."

Yuan Hanzhang put down his teacup and motioned for her to continue.

"The court is constrained, the clan is domineering, the finances are tight, the Maitreya sect of Qin Guogong is in civil strife, and the Liao Kingdom occupies most of the land in the north. Our Dacheng Dynasty has reached the point of life and death. Troubled times need strong medicine. Madam, I think we should use some A more radical policy."

Yuan Hanzhang looked at her deeply, breathing a little tight.

Xue Zhijing sent up a document that he carried with him, "Ma'am, this is the plan I've been thinking about recently."

Yuan Hanzhang opened it, and saw that Xue Zhijing's handwriting was ready to be seen by others, but this was not the time to praise her, looking at the words on it, Yuan Hanzhang asked her to tell him about it.

"First, add Enke, use the classics, theories, and strategies to select scholars. It is to find talents who can apply the classics. Give these new talents the seventh or eighth rank of the product, set up a military aircraft department, and use them as military aircraft Walking around, the external work is to assist the empress to process documents."

Yuan Hanzhang's eyes lit up in an instant. He said it was to assist in the processing of documents, but when it was actually implemented, core matters could be discussed and handled directly at the military aircraft department, and even issued directly from the military aircraft department in the name of confidential military information.

In this way, the power of the Political Affairs Hall and the Privy Council can be gradually lifted.

"Secondly, use recruits to make up for the shortage of officials. Incorporating some officials into the national finance will not only save a large amount of outstanding talent from the juren, but also enhance the control of the court."

In this era, the government was divided into officials and officials. There were very few officials, and most of them were temporary workers.This caused a large proportion of talents who passed the imperial examination to be wasted, and the imperial court's control over the grassroots became extremely low.

"Thirdly, form a new army to protect the royal family, the Shenji Battalion. The number of personnel is approved to be around [-] to [-], to train individual soldiers at a level known to the Imperial Guard, and to create a strong army directly under the royal family."

"Fourth, on the basis of Yuanjia cabinet workshop, form a new type of bank that integrates the storage of gold and silver money, and the lending of gold and silver money to collect interest. Through this bank, the court can help the court to borrow money from the entire dynasty. Ship taxation, this is the national debt, and it is used to finance the Shenji camp and raise people to make up for the shortage of officials."

"Fifth, set up a large college, divided into engineering colleges, agricultural colleges, and military colleges, to train professionals in engineering, agriculture, and generals."

"sixth……"

Yuan Hanzhang said with emotion, "Xiaojing, you are really unusual, you are going to turn my Dacheng Dynasty upside down."
