imprinted you in my heart

"Qizou Your Majesty, the patriarch's orders are waiting outside the palace," a palace attendant came in to report. "Xuan" Shi Min kept looking at the booklet in his hand without even raising his head.

"Respectfully, Your Majesty's Holy Annals." Hearing the familiar voice, Shi Min put down the brochure and looked up. Seeing that the aunt was still the same, with a round face and a medium build, "The aunt is free, come and give me a seat."

The patriarchal order is generally held by a person who is famous in the royal family and has a close relationship with the emperor. The current patriarchal order is the eldest daughter of the previous patriarchal order. The younger sister of the emperor's grandmother, who is also the queen of Yingzong.

Because her mother had no other siblings, she was appointed by the previous patriarch Ling after she ascended the throne. It was not until she ascended the throne that the previous patriarch Ling voluntarily resigned from the official position on the grounds that she was unwell and unsustainable, and then the current Shi Sihe took the post.

Although Shi Sihe's ability is mediocre, but fortunately she is obedient. In front of her junior, sometimes she is submissive and has no opinions and opinions of her own.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Shi Sihe didn't dare to look at His Majesty, his eyes never left the ground from the beginning to the end, and he looked down at his feet slightly until he sat down.

Every time he sees her obsequious, fearing that she looks like she is afraid of ghosts, Shi Min will be so angry that he can't wait to go up and beat her twice to make her tougher. As the only clan in Beijing, she is much older than her Not to mention, it's the current patriarch making the future King Shanggu, so why are you afraid of her being like this?

She wanted to see what this cheap aunt was thinking.The whole hall fell into silence instantly, and Shi Sihe, who was already a little nervous, became more uneasy, thinking: Your Majesty, I have done nothing wrong recently!And I did everything according to your orders, so you can't take me for an accident? ! ...Your Majesty, you are talking, forget it, you are the king, and I am the minister, so take the blame and take the blame!

Shi Min, who could see clearly, almost stood up angrily. Is she the one who wants to be blamed?If she was to let others take the blame, she would use someone to attract everyone's attention from the very beginning, and she was directing behind the scenes, how could she let a third-rank sect order take the blame for herself? !

As early as the beginning of the decision to implement reforms, she was already prepared to be privately reviled and held grudges by some people, and even caused riots to be assassinated. Using an irrelevant person as a scapegoat is not her style. Whether it's all about reforms, and no one can stop her pace of reforms.

Seeing that the aunt's face was getting redder and sweating more and more on her forehead and face, Shi Min began to arrange work after seeing that it was almost cold, fearing that she would suffer from heat stroke.

Fearing that Shi Sihe would not be able to remember, Shi Min not only said it, but also gave her the prepared handwritten manuscript. Fortunately, the other officials in the clan mansion were capable ministers, otherwise she must have changed the clan order immediately, otherwise It can't support a department at all, although this department is far less complicated than Liubu.

Bu Qianxue went to the Inspectorate to work on time after her vacation. When she went to report to Zuodu Censor Chengting, she found out that Master Cheng was not there. After asking colleagues, she found out that Master Cheng had asked for sick leave half a month ago. Lai's door was closed tightly, and all visits were declined, which also made her lose the idea of ​​visiting.

On June [-]th, the wind is sunny, and the white clouds in the sky can be transformed into any shape you can imagine. Bu Qianxue, who got up a little late today, almost missed the Grand Court Meeting. The penalty system, the longer the lateness, the heavier the penalty. If you are late more than three times a month, your salary for one year will be lost.

Therefore, under normal circumstances, the ministers who need to participate in the Great Court Meeting and the Early Dynasty will wait outside the Chengtian Gate early to avoid being late. The punishment and salary are only superficial. If you leave your name with His Majesty, you will not be able to get promoted in the past three years.

What Qianxue didn't expect was that His Majesty actually praised Lord Yan and her in front of all the ministers of civil and military affairs at this grand court meeting. A sense of pride arose spontaneously, and there was a smile on her face.

"Restraint, so as not to make people jealous." Jiang Hechang, who had long hands and feet, was originally behind Bu Qianxue, but passed her after a while, and reminded her in a low voice.

Bu Qianxue immediately restrained her smile when she heard the words, looked left and right, and quickly followed after seeing that no one was paying attention to her, "Thank you, you are in the household department, you must be very busy recently."

"Well, I'm free in winter. Are you prepared for the big exams and bad exams at the end of this year?" Jiang Hechang deliberately slowed down. got used to.

The last thing Bu Qianxue wanted to hear was the big exams and bad grades. She hadn't touched a book since the second place in high school, but she chatted with Mr. Yan on the way back from Hongshun, and she knew that the officialdom still had to take exams.

The most important thing is the big test and the bad test. The big test is held every three years, and all officials in the court must take it. The content of the test is different. The Imperial Academy mainly tests knowledge and culture, and the Inspectorate, Six Subjects, and Dali Temple mainly test the legal system and Case handling, each of the six parts examines the corresponding content. The imperial hospital examines medical theory, the Guanglu temple examines rites and sacrifices, and the imperial servant temple examines horse knowledge.

The Clan Mansion examines the contents of the royal family and nobles, the Qin Tianjian examines astronomical phenomena and changes in solar terms, the Daolu Division examines religious affairs, the Jiaofang Division examines dance and musical instruments, and the Military Aircraft Division and all generals examine martial arts and military theory. In Fandu, but it belongs to the local government and is not listed here.

You don't have to take the test for adding the three lords and three orphans, that is, the grand master, the young master, the prince's grand master, and the prince's young master. In addition, even if you have a hereditary title, you have to take the exam.After the exam, His Majesty decides whether officials will be promoted, retained, demoted, or delegated to local officials according to the results of the exam.

Although the examination is voluntary, if you pass the examination, you can go to the local area to be the chief examiner of the county and provincial examinations. It is a lucrative job, so many officials voluntarily participate every time.

Bu Qianxue had no interest in the exam because her family was in Fandu, so it was inconvenient to go to other places, and she didn’t want to leave Fandu herself, so she only planned to prepare for the big exam, and didn’t expect to be promoted because of it. Downgrade, not decentralization is fine.

"Yes, I just started preparing recently, how about you? How is the preparation going?" Bu Qianxue asked only to remember that she was the last one in the first list, looking around a bit embarrassed.

"Fortunately, I'm almost ready." Jiang Hechang, who was only walking forward, didn't notice Bu Qianxue's small movements.

The two chatted as they walked, and they didn't leave until they parted ways. Bu Qianxue and another colleague went back to the Inspector's Office.

Today is also the annual summer festival. It is a half-day holiday as usual. At noon, there is a long line of sedan chairs and carriages outside Dachengmen to pick up people. Bu Qianxue has long expected such a situation. It is very wise In the morning, I asked the horsewoman at home to park the car in the side alley when she came again, so I didn't have to search for a long time, and I didn't have to wait for others to get stuck there.

"Young master, today is the summer festival. There are many delicious and fun things to do. Why don't we go and have fun before we go home?" After half a month of the carriage, he waved Bu Qianxue's hand to please Bu Qianxue.

Bu Qianxue also wanted to go out to play, but when she thought about the big exam, it was like being splashed with cold water. That's it.

Ban Yue looked at her young master strangely, but in the end she didn't say anything, she just huddled in a corner and asked herself in her heart.Since high school, as long as I heard that the young master is more energetic than her, it would be a bit abnormal.

Like a workaholic, Shi Min, who went to the Wenxuan Hall to deal with memorials and secret letters, was busy until noon. If it wasn't for lunch, she could have been approving until the afternoon.

The summer in June is really much hotter than usual. In less than one morning, she drank three bowls of iced sour plum soup and a plate of iced watermelon. Four ice cubes were placed around the hall, and she also replaced her boots with wooden clogs. , I didn’t feel hot while sitting and reviewing.

As soon as she got out of the hall, even if there was an umbrella to block the sun, and everyone kept fanning her, she would still be so hot that sweat would flow down her cheeks. Whenever this happened, she missed the modern air conditioner and short-sleeved shorts very much.

She dared to break her clothes and wear them. If she was an ordinary person, at most people would think she was a lunatic and laugh it off, but she was an emperor. Her words and deeds were watched by historians and admonishers. If she If she really did this, it is estimated that the next morning's admonishment from the admonisher could make her ears feel calluses.

In order not to make her ears so hard, she could only endure it, but fortunately the hall was cool, which was why she was so reluctant to leave the hall.

"Emperor, state affairs are very important, but state affairs can never be finished. It is rare that today is the Summer Festival. Do you think you are going out for a walk by yourself, or is your mother going out with you?" Wen Yu didn't ask anyone when he came in. In the bulletin, seeing her daughter meticulously reviewing the memorials, she was almost reluctant to disturb her, but when she remembered her original intention, she opened her mouth.

She and Shi Xuan met during the Summer Festival, and she hoped that her daughter could also find someone she likes during the Summer Festival.

"May my queen be blessed and healthy. The state affairs are busy recently, and I really don't have time to take care of him." Shi Min, who didn't expect the queen mother to come suddenly, looked at Lu Guanchu and Xixia as if he was blaming him after paying the salute. Li, "Don't blame them, I told them not to report. I know you are afraid of the heat, and I will come to you when it cools down in the afternoon."

As if she didn't hear Shi Min's rejection, Wen Yu directly chose the second option for her, and was ready to leave after speaking. She didn't expect that her mother would come up with this trick, so scared that Shi Min immediately stood up and stopped: "The queen mother, the son-in-law can go by himself, the weather is hot recently, please ask the queen mother to rest well in the palace."

"Well, that's very good, remember to leave early." Wen Yu left happily after finishing speaking. Fortunately, he went to find his mother for help before coming, otherwise it would definitely take a lot of words to convince her daughter.

"Send off the queen mother respectfully" Shi Min looked at the back of the queen mother leaving, and thought about it carefully, only to find that the mother in her impression had changed a lot, becoming more positive and optimistic, and also understood what she was doing.

After reviewing the memoirs and superstitions in the afternoon, Shi Min summoned several ministers according to the arrangement, and the busyness reached Youshi. During this period, her mother sent someone to remind her three times, and she had to change clothes and go out because of the trouble.

After being here for so many years, she really hasn't celebrated any serious festivals. Every year, festivals and birthdays are always the same, holding banquets and receiving gifts, which is really boring.

Although the sun had already slanted to the west at Youshi, it was still some distance away from setting. Fortunately, the heat was much weaker than that at noon. In order to maintain the image and fear of meeting the ministers, Shi Min changed into boots.

The busy city that has invaded the Qingxia Festival has already been decorated with lanterns and festoons, and there are a lot of people, and there are many vendors selling everything. There are also lantern riddles hosted by big merchants, competitions of drinking, playing piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. Walking along, Shi Min was surrounded by this strong festive atmosphere.

It gave her the feeling that it was more intense than the lively atmosphere during the Chinese New Year when she was a child. Everyone's face was filled with youthful smiles. Even she was more or less affected, with a strong sense of humor curious.

It was the first time that Lu Guanchu, Xixia and Fanqiu, who were following behind Shi Min, saw His Majesty looking at every stall, arena and competition place so seriously. The only thing that was the same was that it was the same as before or nothing purchase.

It wasn't until he came to a Go competition ring and saw Bu Qianxue being encouraged by her followers to get on the ring, that Shi Min stopped and stood in the crowd looking at the ring.

In modern times, she basically had zero knowledge of Go, so she had to learn it here, because piano, chess, calligraphy and painting were compulsory sub-courses for the emperor. study.

In the four items of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, her best is books, and the rest are almost the same. As for Go, I don’t know if she is really talented, or if she deliberately lost to her in the past. So far, there are only a handful of defeats. At this point, Bu Qianxue happened to be on stage, and she happened to be a little curious about Bu Qianxue's Go level.

Everything was just right, and she even found that the pale pink skirt that Bu Qianxue was wearing today made her skin look a little fairer, and her whole person felt warmer and sunny, and she would look better if she didn't frown. ?
