Hand over the jade seal first [Infrastructure]

It was Xie Junsheng's birthday, and Xiao Zirong went to his birthday banquet with great honor as he was the No. [-] labor force under King Jinling.

Xie Junsheng's family was very flattered. They did not expect that King Jinling would come in person, and Xie Junsheng himself was even more flushed.

When Xiao Zirong saw him coming out personally, he smiled and said: "Today's birthday is the biggest, so you don't have to bother entertaining me."

Even though he said so, Xie Junsheng still let his son take Xiao Zirong to the guest room.

The front is a bit chaotic now, mainly because Xie Junsheng himself knows some people from all walks of life, and those people are not suitable to be with Xiao Zirong.

The place Xiao Zirong went to had a relatively high status, but only one Jingshi could see Xiao Zirong from time to time, and it was a luxury for others to see the King of Jinling.

So they all wanted to join Xiao Zirong very excitedly.

Xiao Zirong regretted it very much, if he had known it earlier, he would have sent someone over to give the gift, there was no need for him to come in person.

But it was all here, so he simply dragged Xie Junsheng's son to talk.

Xie Junsheng's son is actually a young boy, about eleven or twelve years old, not very old, but he looks quite mature.

Xiao Zirong asked him to find a clean place for himself, and then talked to him slowly.

I didn't ask much about Xie's family, but I could still hear some information during the conversation.

While Xiao Zirong was talking to Mr. Xiao Lang, he suddenly heard a young lady asking frivolously outside the door: "The daughter of the people is meeting His Royal Highness Jinling King. I wonder if Your Highness can take the time to see you?"

Mr. Xie's young man's complexion changed, he immediately stood up and said, "Your Highness, I'll go and have a look."

Xiao Zirong raised his hand to stop the attendants who were about to go out to check, and let Mr. Xie's young man deal with it.

After Mr. Xie's young man went out, Xiao Zirong heard the little lady say again: "What are you stopping me for? I want to see Your Highness."

Mr. Xie's young man seemed a little anxious: "Auntie, daddy will be angry if you are so reckless."

The little lady didn't seem to care a little: "He gets angry at whatever I do, alas, help me to ask His Highness if he would like to see me."

aunt?Is this little lady Xie Junsheng's younger sister?Why do you want to see him?

Xiao Zirong was quite interested, turned around and said to the entourage beside him: "Go and invite that little lady in, oh, Mr. Xiao Lang also wants to bring in together."

Otherwise, if a man and a widow live together in the same room, he will be covered in mouths all over his body, and he will not be able to speak clearly.

Mr. Xie's young gentleman seemed to be hesitant, but the little lady was very happy and walked in with her followers.

Mr. Xiao Lang had no choice but to follow in and saluted Xiao Zirong and said, "Your Highness, this is..."

Xiao Zirong raised his hand: "I just heard, why does Miss Xie want to see this king?"

This little lady was generous, she looked at Xiao Zirong for a long time before she blushed and saluted and said: "Minister Xie Lianyun is here to see His Royal Highness King of Jinling."

Xiao Zirong excused her, and asked again: "Do you have something to report?"

Xie Lianyun boldly asked: "Minnv heard that His Highness is going to hold an imperial examination."

Xiao Zirong was not surprised. Xie Junsheng was also busy with this matter. Even if he was not allowed to mark the papers, he would still have to count the scholars who signed up in Jingkou.

He smiled and said: "That's true, why? Do you want to plead with your sweetheart? This exam will not be lenient for anyone. "

Xiao Zirong didn't know what Xie Lianyun was going to do, but he didn't want to give anyone a chance to go through the back door, so he just said it to death. If Xie Lianyun really wanted love or something, then there is no need to talk nonsense.

Xie Lianyun didn't leave but said: "Minnv really asks for affection, but it's not for others, but for Minnv herself and women who are just as talented as men."

Xiao Zirong was slightly taken aback after hearing this, and it took a while to realize: "You mean you want to take the imperial examination?"

Xie Lianyun didn't dare to look at him, she lowered her head and asked, "Your Highness... Do you agree?"

Before Xiao Zirong could speak, he heard Xie Junsheng's voice from afar: "Nonsense! Xie Lianyun, you have such a big list, you dare to disturb His Highness's rest."

Xie Junsheng walked over very anxiously, with a few people behind him, and said as he walked, "Come on, take Si Niang down for me!"

Xie Lianyun was not soft at all when facing his elder brother, and directly raised his head and said: "Since you don't want to tell His Highness, then I will say it myself, ordinary people still have the qualifications to stop and seek justice, why should I Can't you just ask?"

Xie Junsheng suddenly had a headache: "What nonsense are you talking about!"

Xie Lianyun saw that the rough envoy brought by Xie Junsheng was about to make a move, so she rolled her eyes and hid directly behind Xiao Zirong.

Xiao Zirong sat there without moving, looked at Xie Junsheng's face flushed, coughed lightly as if he was about to be pissed off by his sister, and said, "What are you bringing these people here for? This king hasn't punished her yet, you This is……"

Xie Junsheng regained his comprehension instantly, bowed quickly and said, "This minister is ineffective in teaching, please forgive me, Your Highness."

Xie Lianyun looked at Xiao Zirong with some trepidation, originally thought it would be better to stand next to him without being shocked by that beautiful face, but he didn't expect that the profile of the King of Jinling was too good-looking.

Xie Lianyun secretly admired it for a while and then withdrew her gaze. She knew exactly what she wanted. King Jinling was good-looking, but to her, it was a life-saving straw to realize her own value, so she would not go for it simply with the mentality of a little girl. look at him.

Xiao Zirong glanced sideways at Xie Lianyun and said, "Do you want to take the imperial examination?"

Before Xie Lianyun could speak, Xie Junsheng said, "She is suffering from hysteria."

Xiao Zirong glanced at Xie Junsheng and asked casually, "Did I let you talk?"

Xie Junsheng trembled immediately, and Xiao Zirong said: "It's your birthday today, I don't want to make you unhappy, so be quiet, I will let you talk when it is time for you to talk."

Xie Junsheng obediently backed away, Xiao Zirong turned to look at Xie Lianyun.

Xie Lianyun came out very cleverly and saluted again, "Yes."

Xiao Zirong was quite interested: "Why do you have such an idea?"

Xie Lianyun pursed her lips and said, "Minnv met two older sisters a while ago, named Liu Cainiang and Bai Yan."

Xiao Zirong laughed lightly after hearing this: "It's them."

Xie Lianyun said: "I heard the two sisters talk about Taoyuan City. Your Highness, since you were able to overcome all opinions and allow women to be in power, why did you give up women now?"

Xiao Zirong took a look at Xie Lianyun and said: "The time is not right, the situation in Taoyuan City is special, not only those little ladies have made great achievements, but I am there... You can even say that I am dictatorial, so I can do what others want, and do what I want. Now it is extremely difficult, if you want to be like Taoyuan City, you have to wait."

Xie Lianyun asked curiously: "So His Highness didn't give up on me waiting for a girl, did he?"

Xiao Zirong said very bluntly: "What's wrong with the women? At the beginning, the capital of Nanyanzhou was all men, and they only knew how to panic when they encountered floods. I don't know what would have happened if there hadn't been a regent who tried to turn the tide. Taoyuan City is all women, but Taoyuan City is not. Accepting many refugees, being an official does not depend on physical strength, how much better can a man be than a woman?"

Xie Lianyun suddenly said excitedly: "That's it, to tell you the truth, Your Highness, women also think so."

Xie Junsheng on the side was about to be stunned. Xiao Zirong's remarks can be said to be outrageous. When had he heard such an argument?

If he was just talking nonsense, he would definitely refute it, but Xiao Zirong also gave an example. Although he didn't know the specific situation, he obviously wouldn't talk nonsense according to King Jinling's personality.

This... his sister was already restless, but now that she has the support of the King of Jinling, isn't she going to heaven?

But Xiao Zirong said: "Wanting and doing are not the same thing. You really don't have the opportunity to display your talents now, or you need to wait."

"But how long will we have to wait? Who can say when is the right time? In Minnv's view, it is already a good time to have His Highness around."

If it wasn't for Xiao Zirong's eclecticism, she would not have dared to come here so carelessly, no matter how ambitious she was, she would have suppressed herself.

But it's different now, His Highness has unique insights.

Xiao Zirong was taken aback for a moment, and suddenly felt that what Xie Lianyun said made sense, when would be a good time?

There are not many such opportunities even in later generations. Although the status of women has also been improved, but with the development of time, women's living space has begun to be oppressed. This seems to be a reincarnation.

Xiao Zirong pondered for a while and asked, "Are you representing yourself or someone like you?"

Xie Lianyun was a little hesitant. She also knew that she was a bit out of line in what she said and did, but she was Xie Junsheng's younger sister, and she was part of Xie's family anyway.

Xiao Zirong seemed to understand her concerns, and said directly: "I don't need to know who they are, I just need to know how many people there are."

Xie Lianyun gritted her teeth and said, "There are only a dozen or so of me."

A dozen or so, compared to the number of applicants in Jingkou, this number is pitifully small.

However, these ten or so little ladies are like a weak flame, even if it is not in season, they are still burning tenaciously.

Xiao Zirong stood up and said, "Okay, I'll give you a chance. Later, I will leave the matter to Cai Niang and Ayan. They will come to discuss with you, but you have to be clear that even if you really participate, you may not be able to participate." You can only become my subordinate, and cannot enter the rank of court officials."

Xie Lianyun's eyes lit up after hearing this: "Thank you Your Highness! We are not afraid!"

As long as there is a chance for them to show their strengths, she can see that King Jinling is very popular, even if he cannot be remembered in history in the future, he will still have a place in history books.

That being the case, why can't she give it a go?

Xiao Zirong walked out and said, "In that case, I'll go back and make some arrangements."

He suddenly stopped while walking, turned his head and said to Xie Junsheng: "I don't think Xie Lianyun's words are offensive, and I don't think there is anything wrong with her thoughts. I agree to her request. Don't let me You can't trust people."
