The Road to the Imperial Examinations of Farmers in Ancient Times

On the morning of the second day, no officials even mentioned the former Hubu Shangshu who died in prison, and Zhu Guangquan's death did not cause any waves.Compared with caring about a dead person, the post of Minister of the Household Department is now vacant.

Officials in the DPRK are more concerned about who can take the position of Minister of the Household Department.

The Ministry of Household Affairs is an important department among the six ministries, which is in charge of the entire country's finances.Hubu Shangshu is the highest official of the Hubu Shangshu, who is in charge of all officials in the entire Hubu Ministry. All matters and decisions in the Hubu Shangshu must be handled by the Hubu Shangshu. It can be said that the Hubu Shangshu is an official position with absolute power .

This time, the household department has gone through this round of major changes. Most of the officials in the household department have been dismissed, some have been demoted, and the vacant positions have been filled by the people below.Officials from several factions in the DPRK went through some struggles, comparing who had more connections, more power in their hands, and who was faster, before they could successfully insert their own people into the household department.

The last thing left is the post of Minister of the Ministry of Accounting. Everyone focused on this. No matter how much you get in the past, it is not as good as taking the position of Minister of the Ministry of Accounting.

On the main hall, the emperor sits on the top seat, and the prince stands at the first place below, followed by several princes.

Although Yang Shaoyong is His Royal Highness the eldest prince, it is only because he is not the crown prince, so he can only be ranked below the crown prince. This will always be like a thorn in Yang Shaoyong's heart, and he has to face it every day, so this is why the eldest prince The reason why I have been at odds with the prince since I was a child.

The several princes have been in a state of fighting openly and secretly. No one can see who is better, and they have to fight for everything.

In the morning, an official jumped out and started, "Your Majesty, I have something to say."

"Your Majesty, the Ministry of Households is one of the six ministries. Among the six ministries, whether it is the Ministry of Officials, the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Industry, the Ministry of Punishment, the Ministry of War, or the Ministry of Households, all are indispensable..." After explaining how important the Ministry of Households is in the six ministries After that, he talked about the importance of the post of Minister of the Household Department, and finally suggested, "The post of Minister of the Household Department is still vacant. I think that a suitable person should be selected as soon as possible to serve as the post of Minister of the Household Department." Responsible for managing various affairs of the household department.”

"My minister agrees."

"My minister agrees."

The officials below all supported the proposal one after another, and they all agreed that a suitable person should be selected to serve as the Minister of the Ministry of Households.

Didn't the emperor know the importance of the Household Department and the importance of the post of Minister of the Household Department?

Of course Emperor Zhaozong knew, and because he knew, the emperor had to be more cautious in this matter.Zhu Guangquan, the former Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, was single-handedly promoted by the emperor. The amount of silver taels confiscated from his home was more than the money in the emperor's private treasury. It is conceivable that Emperor Zhaozong would not be in a good mood on this matter. .

"What suggestions do you have for the candidate for the Minister of the Household Department?" Emperor Zhaozong looked at the civil and military officials below, not ignorant of the thoughts of these courtiers, and his sons, who really thought that he, the emperor, had nothing knew

Above the court of Nuo Da, there are only a handful of officials who are truly qualified to serve as ministers, and the officials below propose most of these people.

Li Wen stood below, he usually wouldn't stand out if there was nothing wrong with him, so he stood obediently below.

The few officials mentioned by the officials in the court, he analyzed, were all officials from different factions, and they were people who supported the princes.In fact, he was a little confused. Compared with the other princes, the prince is better in all aspects of talent and virtue, and he is still the queen. Why do these officials stand next to the other princes one by one? In fact, to put it bluntly, there is It's all because of the camps they stand in, and their interests are different.

All people and all things in the world cannot do without the word 利.

Few people really think about this country, what kind of monarch to choose is the best for this country. It is not that there are no such people, but there are relatively few people. Most of them are actually selfish. To seek greater benefits for oneself or for the family.But if it wasn't like this, the hall wouldn't be so lively every day.

Going to court every day is boring, but if you analyze it carefully, you can still get a lot of useful information from it.Others were overwhelmed and tried their best to think of Yuqian, and they often lose face in front of the emperor, but Li Wen complained all kinds of things in his heart about the daily court.But the complaints belonged to the complaints, and his brain didn't stop. He still had to listen to what he wanted to listen to, and he needed to analyze what he wanted to analyze. Most of what people said and did was there for a purpose.

You can't come to court every day, if you really come to take a nap and go back, if you want to let the teacher know later, you have to chase him with a ruler and beat him.

The officials stood up to recommend suitable candidates. As for the princes, they stood below without saying a word.

However, the officials in the court failed to come to a conclusion after all, no one was convinced, and everyone thought that the person they recommended was the best.Dong Xiang stood there with his eyes half downcast, not saying a word, the big bosses above didn't speak, it was the people below who were talking.

His head hurt from the quarrel, Emperor Zhaozong's face darkened, he didn't make a conclusion on this matter, he decided on a person to choose, and in the end he just said, "We will discuss this matter later and retire from the court."

The prince shouted in a sharp voice, "Back to the court——"

All the officials below knelt down and sent the emperor away respectfully.

The trial of the household department case has basically been completed, and there are still some matters to be dealt with. Naturally, the people below will deal with it, and His Royal Highness does not need to deal with it personally.As for the candidate for the position of Minister of the Household Department, it has not yet been decided, and the princes have to work hard for this matter.

After leaving the imperial court, the emperor went to Concubine Dong Gui to check the homework of the youngest son. Concubine Dong Zhi held the hand of the emperor. His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince studied hard and did his homework well. Dayue, Concubine Dong Gui is gentle and pleasant, and the child is well-behaved, such a happy family of three.

"Your Majesty, please visit my concubine when you have time. I miss you in my heart...just, I am worried that your majesty is too busy to disturb you." Concubine Dong Gui was gentle and caring, her watery eyes were charming. Looking at the emperor, the meaning of these words is to tell the emperor that the concubine wants to see you but is afraid of disturbing you, so she can only wait in this palace for the emperor to come to have a look.

With this look, coupled with this tone, any man will soften his heart after hearing it.

Concubine Dong Zhi knows her own advantages. She is young, can speak, and can win the emperor's favor. This is why Emperor Zhaozong likes to visit Concubine Dong Gui from time to time. The situation is so cold that the emperor can't find anyone who can speak his mind. At this time, Yihao, the gentle, beautiful, kind and caring Concubine Dong Gui appears. May I ask which man would not love?

The emperor is also an ordinary person, so naturally he can't pass the beauty test.

"Okay, okay, I promise you, I will come to see you and Ning'er as soon as I have time. Ning'er will study hard with the master, and when I come back next time, I have to check whether Ning'er has done well in her homework." Emperor Zhaozong said to this little girl The son is really a favorite. The first few sons have never been hugged by the emperor himself. Only this youngest son will hold him in his arms and fight from time to time when he is young. When he grows up, he will care about the child's homework from time to time. how.

After getting the emperor's response, Concubine Dong Gui burst into laughter, and the beauty wept, which made the emperor feel distressed again.

"Yes, father, my son will definitely not disappoint father." The seventh prince looked at the emperor with admiration in his eyes. Together they coaxed the emperor to be happy.

Later, Concubine Dong Gui coaxed the emperor to have lunch with her before leaving. Not long after the emperor went to Concubine Dong Gui's place, the women in the harem soon received the news.It's just that even if they are jealous that Concubine Dong Gui can be favored by the Holy Majesty, they can't change anything about it, let alone try to overthrow Concubine Dong Gui and replace her.

Yang Shaomu received the news from the palace that Mrs. Dong had entered the palace and went to Concubine Dong Gui. Concubine Dong Guifei stayed in the palace for half a day before coming out.Concubines in the harem are not allowed to leave the palace privately. Generally, unless there are special events, they will not see their natal relatives twice a year. Concubine Dong Gui is good, because she gave birth to a dragon son for the emperor, and the emperor With that bit of pampering, from time to time, people from her natal family have to be called into the palace to accompany her, the reason is that she misses her relatives at home.

In this palace, not only Concubine Dong Gui gave birth to a dragon son, but other people also gave birth to dragon sons and dragon daughters, so it is not necessarily necessary to talk about it all day long, and only that woman wants to show off the emperor from time to time love her

For so many years, Yang Shaomu has seen a lot of things, so he is no stranger to them.

But he is not a woman in the harem, and what he thinks about is not how to fight for favor, but why Mrs. Dong wants to enter the palace at this time.Yang Shaomu's hand tapped on the table lightly. At this time, Mrs. Dong entered the palace, probably to bring some news to Concubine Dong Gui, or pass some news to Dong Xian. He recruited an old slave by his side. , commanded, "Go and check yourself, what did Mrs. Dong say to Concubine Dong when she entered the palace today."

"Yes, I'm going to do it now." The old slave said, bowed and went out to inquire about the news.

Didn't Yang Shaomu know what Dong Xian and Concubine Dong Gui have been planning for so many years? There is his queen mother in the palace, and his mother queen is the head of the harem. Concubine Dong Gui has been fighting with his queen mother for so many years. He wasn't worried about how much wind and waves would come out.

But there are some things that he, the prince, has to guard against, even if the possibility is unlikely.

Ever since he took the position of prince, he had to think more than others, otherwise he would have been dragged down from the position of prince by others.

After a while, Yang Shaomu heard the people below come in and say that Zhao Xiangyi had come, he asked the people below to bring Zhao Xiangyi over, and the two entered the study for a long time.
