Reborn to the fourth year of Jianyuan

On the seventeenth day of the tenth month of the first year of destiny, the weather in Yancheng was extremely good and the sky was clear.It was the first time that Yue Qingfeng stood upright in front of the Great Zhou Golden Palace.

Standing on the white jade brick engraved with auspicious beasts, looking up at the golden dragon and phoenix sculptures hanging from the wing corners of the golden hall and facing them, Yue Qingfeng panted and waited.

"The emperor has a decree to declare Shen Hongyuan, the number one scholar in science and literature, and Zhu Mingyue in the second place. Tanhua Gongshu Wenyue will come forward and meet you!"

The eunuch in front was announcing loudly. Hearing the clearer voice, the wind swept around gently, and then slowly followed behind the tall Shen Hongyuan.

For some reason, I suddenly remembered three years ago at this moment.Three years ago, for a chance to take the make-up exam, the scene of her standing in front of the Gongyuan foolishly seemed to happen yesterday.

Taking a deep breath, Yue Qingfeng secretly told himself in his heart: "Hold on, even though this position may be adulterated, even though this time it may be because of Zhu Qiaoxin who is sitting at the highest place, she was lucky enough to be the second place. But Life is too short, she can't care about others, she can't care about other things. As long as she can be with her every day, as long as she can share a little bit for her, she will steal the second place from others and make someone unhappy. She also has to pretend not to know!"

Both feet finally set foot on the golden square bricks in the hall. Facing countless eyes with different expressions in the hall, Yue Qingfeng unabashedly looked at Zhu Qiaoxin, who was sitting firmly on the carved dragon chair at the highest part of the hall.

This is the first time she really looked at her appearance in a black dragon robe without any shyness, staring at Zhu Qiaoxin's facial features that were obscured by the white jade beads on the crown, Yue Qingfeng slowly knelt down down.

"Chen Su Yangshen Hongyuan kowtowed to the emperor, long live the emperor, long live long live!"

The voice of the number one scholar next to him came from his ear, and he withdrew his upward gaze, Yue Qingfeng hurriedly bent down: "My minister Xu Yang--Zhu Mingyue, kowtow to my emperor, long live the emperor!"

Hearing Yue Qingfeng's address from below, Zhu Qiaoxin let out a long sigh.

Gongshu Wenyue's prostration sounded in his ear, and his eyes finally moved away from Yue Qingfeng who had lowered his head. Zhu Qiaoxin paused before softly saying: "Three lovers, please get up."

"Thank you, Majesty Long En!" The three stood up together, this time Yue Qingfeng had completely returned to normal.

Looking over Yue Qingfeng's blue palace dress that she helped put on this morning, Zhu Qiaoxin slowly turned her head to look at the little eunuch beside her.

After receiving the hint, the little eunuch hurriedly said in a loud voice: "It has been more than a year since I ascended the throne alone, and I feel that government affairs are complicated during the year. Therefore, I would like to take this special order---"

The little eunuch's voice was loud, and when he heard Zhu Qiaoxin clearly, he even directly assigned the three of them as the inner servants.Not only were the ministers around the court surprised, even Yue Qingfeng and the three of them were a little surprised.

Staring at the queen above who seemed to be in a good mood today, Gongshu Keqin and the others looked at each other, and they all kept calm by coincidence.Compared with the six important jobs, this mere seventh-rank position is really not worth their fuss.Even though this may be the first step for the empress to train her close ministers, the seventh rank is only the seventh rank after all.

The little eunuch above finally announced Zhu Qiaoxin's will, Yue Qingfeng, Shen Hongyuan, and Gongshu Wenyue quickly knelt down again to thank him.

This time they were not asked to get up immediately, Zhu Qiaoxin just looked down and said quietly: "All ministers listen to the order!"

Not knowing what she wanted to do, everyone could only kneel down immediately.

Plunging her whole body into the treasure chair below her, Zhu Qiaoxin stretched out her right hand and slowly supported her forehead: "Guzi ascended the throne last May, and now it's almost a year and a half."

Everyone lowered their heads and continued to wait, inexplicably having a bad premonition.

"For a year and a half, Gu spent nearly ten hours a day on government affairs. I'm really tired, and I feel a little powerless."

For more than a year, everyone has seen Zhu Qiaoxin's efforts.From the initial skeptical resistance, to today.Everyone today has almost forgotten that she is a woman.

Now it was the first time I saw her saying that she was tired in the court hall, that she was tired.Everyone was startled, thinking that she was going to engage in some kind of drama about abdicating the throne at this time, and hurriedly spoke out to dissuade her, whether true or false.

"Your majesty, ministers and others are panicking. They are veterans who are incompetent. I beg your majesty to forgive me for not helping His Majesty!" Gong Shu Keqin hurriedly lowered his head.

"Think twice, Your Majesty!" With reproach in his eyes, he glanced at Yue Qingfeng who was kneeling in the middle, thinking that since she came back again, the queen has changed a bit, Yue Shengde showed a trace of resentment and hatred for being weak.

"Your Majesty!" Turning to look at Yu Zhengyu beside him, Liu Yu didn't know what to say, so he could only lower his body quickly.

"Empress, if you are tired, why don't you rest for a while, anyway, the government has---" I wanted to say that there are a few of them in the court, but as soon as I said this, Ji Lian Anrong knew that he had said something wrong, and quickly stopped.

"Your Majesty, the Martial Arts Examination will be held in a few days. If the Empress is really bored, how about I accompany the Emperor to the hunting garden to go hunting? As for this, I will leave it to—"

Before Chu Xiangyang, Minister of the Ministry of Punishment finished his words, Zhu Zhengtang, the king of the south of the Yangtze River who had never spoken, straightened up and clasped his fists and said loudly: "Sister Huang, my younger brother used to be too playful. I never knew that sister Huang worked so hard. Both ministers My brother is unfilial, please punish me!"

The number one scholar beside him, Lang Shen Hongyuan, has been kneeling expressionlessly, with no trace of emotion visible on his face.On the contrary, Gongshu Wenyue, who was next to him, showed a dazed look on his face.

Looking up at Zhu Qiaoxin, he vaguely understood that she must have made some decision, Yue Qingfeng lowered his head and continued to wait.

When everyone was talking about self-blame, Zhu Qiaoxin smiled lightly and withdrew her hand, and slowly changed into a more comfortable posture, finally said: "Speaking of it, everything boils down to it. Or because there are too many playing books, and one person can't slow down."

The whole hall was very quiet for a while, as if they understood what she wanted to do, everyone immediately fell silent one by one.

"In the past, the state affairs in the court were discussed one by one with everyone in the court. Then the six ministers jointly drafted the playbook, and finally presented it to Gu for preview, and then passed it on."

His eyes were cold, but there was a hint of a smile on the corner of his mouth. Zhu Qiaoxin stood up slowly, and looked down step by step under the strange eyes of everyone: "Since I have a sacrificial person, there is no need to draw up imperial edicts and present previews." I have published six Shangshu."

Gongshu Keqin at the bottom was the first to raise his head. Just when everyone was surprised and amazed, Zhu Qiaoxin finally walked down with a large black dragon robe: "Sister Yue?"

Yue Qingfeng raised his head, at this moment Zhu Qiaoxin directly stepped forward and bent down to help Yue Qingfeng who had been kneeling on the ground.His hands did not leave her arms, and he supported her body vigorously. A trace of distress flashed in Zhu Qiaoxin's eyes, and then he continued: "Sister Yue, this is the first order I gave to the three of you. Wait a moment Afterwards, a decree was drawn up, and from now on, all courtiers’ memorabilia will be changed to red, green and blue. Blue is the booklet that officials from all over the world usually present to the orphans and report the safety of each place. Green is recommended by talents from all over the country. Local proposals, local governance, and suggestions for military affairs. As for the red memorial, it is a memorial for major events such as famine, riots, corruption, and attacks in various places. In the future, all blue and green memorials for the entire Great Zhou will not be used again. Present it to Gu."

Turning his head to look at the tense officials of the six departments on both sides, Zhu Qiaoxin continued: "From now on, the blue and green playbooks of the Great Zhou Dynasty will be sent to the six departments directly by special personnel. Then the six departments will pick out the important ones, and the six ministers will specially re-edit them. Present and solitary. As for the red playbook---"

His hands finally left Yue Qingfeng's body, and slowly turned around and walked towards his dragon chair again. Zhu Qiaoxin said coldly and loudly: "As for those important red playbooks, they will be left in the court for processing as before. It's just From now on, all the important notes in red must be discussed by Gu and the six ministers, as well as the ministers appointed by Gu, before they are placed in the court for processing. Those that cannot be processed will be dealt with in the early court. How do you feel?"

"Your Majesty, you can't do this." Some royal relatives began to object.

Turning around and sitting on the carved dragon chair again, Zhu Qiaoxin raised her eyebrows and smiled: "Why not? If Gu does this, the officials and ministers of the six ministries will be able to participate in the government. And if Gu and the six ministers can't solve it, Gu will still take it. Going to the court to negotiate with you, this seems to be no different from before, what can you object to?"

The royal family who objected first blushed and looked away from him. Zhu Qiaoxin said in a deep voice, "Liu Yu, Yu Zhengyu, Gongshu Keqin, Chu Xiangyang, Ji Lian Anrong. You are all six parts." First of all, Cao Guogong objected to Gu's opinion just now, what about you? Do you also think that Gu's decision is a bit inappropriate, a little too childish?"

Handling all the red playbooks of the Great Zhou separately means that all key state affairs and government affairs of the entire Great Zhou will be handled separately in the future.That means that the operation of the entire Great Zhou will only need to be decided by the empress and their six ministers.Such a good thing, who can refuse it.

"Chen—" Gongshu Keqin looked at his old friend Yue Shengde and hesitated.

"The emperor is wise, I admire you!" Chu Xiangyang, who was always slow, was the first to express his attitude.

"My minister, Liu Yu, thank the emperor for his trust!" Liu Yu hurriedly clasped his fists, feeling a little dizzy.

Then the Ministry of Officials and the Minister of the Ministry of Industry also quickly thanked the empress, and looked at the empress with displeasure.Gongshu Keqin quickly echoed loudly.

"Just agree!" With eyes so dark that she couldn't see the end, Zhu Qiaoxin lightly swept over the so-called royal family and veterans, straightened her whole body, stared at the bottom and said in a very serious voice: "Just agree, then from now on , the daily morning time has been shortened from three hours to one hour. The remaining time is the time for Gu and Liubu Shangshu and others to process urgent notes! All the memorials that Gu and Liubu have reviewed are all written by the inner book Sheren, re-file. As for the subsequent drafting and passing of the decree, the three Zhongshu Sheren are responsible. From now on, all the imperial edicts of the Great Zhou must be written by the Neishu Sheren, and they can only be effective if they are stamped with a jade seal , Can anyone not understand?

"..."

"By the way, from now on, there will be ten officials who will discuss and deal with the red book. Except for the six ministers, the rest will be filled by the royal clan!"

Listening to Zhu Qiaoxin's words above, those royal relatives who were still a little worried all showed joy.

Raising her hand to signal the silence below, looking down, Zhu Qiaoxin showed a little complacency for the first time today, Zhu Qiaoxin said in a leisurely voice: "The ten people who are chartered to participate in state affairs can change at any time according to your official positions. It will change. As for the remaining number of imperial relatives, they will be filled according to the merits of relatives, and this year the four people will be in order---"

The row of luxuriously dressed clansmen at the bottom subconsciously held their breath, smiled lightly and looked down, Zhu Qiaoxin said softly, "In terms of closeness, the lonely elder brother, His Royal Highness Ping Wang, is undoubtedly the number one. , followed by Gu’s cousin Jiangnan King Zhu Zhengtang. As for merit, it seems that the royal family has not produced any highly respected figures in the past ten years. Then the remaining two places will be selected from the Gu’s three clans. Among them, King Changshan of Luocheng and King Xuyang Kang are the closest relatives to Gu, so the remaining two places will be filled by the most outstanding of the two of them."

The 30-year-old gloomy man who was not convinced just now breathed heavily, and everyone in the hall looked at him.

With a slight smile, Zhu Qiaoxin said with a half smile but not a smile: "Cousin Zhuo Ren, don't thank you yet!"

"Chen, minister, thank you Lord Long En, long live the empress, I must do my best!"

Biting his lip, he had a premonition of what was going to happen next.When everyone was congratulating Zhu Zhuoren, Yue Qingfeng raised his head and gently shook his head at Zhu Qiaoxin above.

Staring at her firmly, without a single pause, Zhu Qiaoxin said again: "King Xu Yangkang only has three daughters, and there is only one daughter who is an official in the court!"

Yue Qingfeng looked at Zhu Qiaoxin, feeling a little groggy.

It seemed that only then did they realize who the empress was talking about, and many people quickly looked at the woman in the center of the hall who had just been supported by the empress to stand up.

"Zhu Mingyue, Elder Sister Yue, you are not in good health, so you will stay in the palace for a long time to be your companion, and accompany you to deal with the government affairs?"

"Impossible! Your empress---" In the main hall today, seeing Yue Qingfeng's Yue Shengde who had been quiet all this time, he finally couldn't bear it any longer.

But just now he opened his mouth, when he met Zhu Qiaoxin's eyes full of murderous intent, he was startled, opened his mouth and Yue Shengde quickly looked at Yue Qingfeng in the center of the hall.

Facing the hundreds of pairs of eyes in the hall, Yue Qingfeng thought everything through and knelt down immediately after feeling tense just now: "Mingyue accepts the order, thank you Queen for your love!"

"Get up, sister Yue, Hongyuan, Wenyue, have you ever understood how many imperial decrees Gu made just now!"

Yue Qingfeng who was about to get up just now, Shen Hongyuan who was still kneeling, and Gongshu Wenyue all showed confusion.

Smiling softly, Zhu Qiaoxin looked at Liu Yu: "Aiqing, you are the Minister of Rites. You were responsible for most of the drafting of the memorials in the past, teach them well."

"My minister obeys the order!" Liu Yu nodded quickly as he glanced at Yue Qingfeng in front of him.

"Gongshu Aiqing, find someone to make the three-color playbook as soon as possible, remember to do it as soon as possible!"

"Old minister obeys the order!" Gongshu Keqin bowed quickly.

"Lord Ji Lian?" Zhu Qiaoxin called out again.

"The minister is here, please show me the empress?" Ji Lian Anrong stood up respectfully.

Feeling a little tired, Zhu Qiaoxin winked at the little eunuch beside her, and said softly: "Discuss with Mr. Gongshu to see how much silver you need. I want to build post stations in every city in Dazhou. Someone needs to send those urgent notebooks from all over the world!"

The author has something to say: Thank you ch for the two mines, thank you so much o(n_n)o.

I can hardly keep my eyes open. Please forgive me if you see any typos. I will deal with them tomorrow.
