Qu clear as promised

As the year approached, Liang Hui hurriedly issued an edict to appoint the head of the cabinet.

After the last morning court a few years ago, Daliang will usher in a national rest. This is also Zhu Zhiyi's first court visit after returning to Beijing.

At that time, Zhu Zhiyi's righteous deeds of sacrificing his life for the country are well known from the age of seventy to the age of three. There are even folk songs praising his demeanor of being loyal to the king and serving the country, and more because of his young age. Sorrow and regret for dedicating oneself to the country.

Fortunately, God blesses them, and their queen is back.

Even though Zhu Zhiyi has been away from the ruling and opposition parties for more than three years, his legend is still circulating in the temples and rivers and lakes.

Several people from the original group of the meeting cabinet gathered around him to greet him, former colleagues also came over to say hello, and those young rising star officials who only knew their names but never met them looked over at Yuqian Avenue, causing quite a commotion .

Three years ago, Shen Ke's decadent and chaotic ruling and opposition parties have taken on a new look. Many of the new faces selected from the imperial examination are from poor families. Zhu Zhiyi is very pleased that Liang Hui has managed the court better than he imagined.

Zhu Zhiyi was generous, unfazed by favor or humiliation, nodding his head and smiling lightly in response, and once again set foot on the jade white steps that he dreamed of in his youth, he had completely let go of his bitterness, hatred and deep burdens, and he was light and unrestrained.

At the Meridian Gate, I met Shen Huayi who used to be in the harem.

Three years ago, Shengshang went north and returned to Beijing to rectify the imperial court and clean up the family. Shen Huayi was very knowledgeable in helping the emperor eradicate the remnants of the family. When the court is an official.

Shen Huayi always felt that Liang Hui was lenient to him because of his defection, but it was not the case.

It was Liang Hui who remembered that Zhu Zhiyi once said that this person was a useful talent, otherwise he would definitely kill the roots with his suspicious and ruthless behavior style at that time.

On the long steps in front of the imperial court, many people gathered their eyes secretly, without malice, but with a heart of gossip, who would not be curious if the rivals in love met in the past.

Zhu Zhiyi nodded first, but the other party suddenly stopped and bowed to him, performing a dignified court official ceremony, with every move and every move carrying a kind of freedom and neatness that the world is open and everything is at ease.

The civil and military officials around were all taken aback, Zhu Zhiyi was also a little bit surprised, so he smiled broadly, the other party was startled, and smiled back.

There was a hint of a smile to wipe away the grievances, but no one said anything.

Shen Huayi watched Zhu Zhiyi walking towards the main hall step by step, that bow was his sincere and sincere obedience, not because of status, rank, or rules.

People in the world don't know that he has never been interested in harem disputes, but he does have a subtle feeling for Zhu Zhiyi.

In the past, he felt that Zhu Zhiyi and he were both political victims of the Zanying family, a stagnant pool of fetters, confinement, and loss of freedom by the family. Later, when he entered the palace, he felt that the other party was only relying on the support of the emperor.

But three years ago in central Beijing, he listened to the more critical battle reports in the south and the news that the queen went to the enemy righteously, and he finally admitted that Zhu Zhiyi could swing a sword even in shackles, such a tough Boda, Daren A person of righteousness cannot be the decoration of the clan or the puppet of the emperor, but the real backbone of the country.

Being imprisoned, manipulated, and suppressed is all because of not being tough enough, firm enough, or persistent enough. Shen Huayi can no longer find reasons for his former self.

Zhu Zhiyi didn't care about other people's scrutiny and comments. While checking his appearance, someone walked up behind him.

"May the Privy Envoy finally come back."

The tone of yin and yang is somewhat familiar.

"Oh, no, it will be the Chief Zhu soon."

Zhu Zhiyi turned around and saw that it was Ji Ning, who has now inherited his father's career as General Ji.

The young man's face faded a little, and became more flamboyant and flamboyant. Behind him was still the shadow guard who had brought him the golden sore medicine in the barracks. His face was stern, but he never left.

Zhu Zhiyi knew that Ji Ning made great contributions in attacking Langyi and expanding the territory, so she smiled at him: "General Ji."

Ji Ning still had the same aggressive attitude, and said in a low voice when passing by him: "There will be another fight in the future." The tone was arrogant, but not annoying.

Zhu Zhiyi was startled, looking at his beautiful side face, she suddenly felt a lot of emotion, three years, neither long nor short, the youths in Beijing all matured back then.

Whether it's Ji Ning, who was once childish and rebellious, or Shen Huayi, who is proud and clean, or Sui Yin, who is underappreciated by others, or even the person who may never have a name who follows Ji Ning like a shadow. The shadow guards behind him have undergone radical changes...

No matter how they calculated, planned, and fought in the court, but when the family and the country were in crisis, it was their young blood and bones that supported this majestic country together.

Daliang's future belongs to them.

Xu Shi's New Year's Eve is approaching, and when the emperor returns to the court, the atmosphere in the early court is lively and delicate.

In the main hall at noon, the emperor wears a nine-pronged crown and sits high in the Ming hall. His Highness, the head of the newly promoted officials, wears purple official uniforms embroidered with embroidered woven tassels with the pattern of treasures and cranes.

One is calm and the other is neither humble nor overbearing.

One of them lowered their eyes and the other raised their heads. When Liang Hui moved his eyes away from Zhu Zhiyi's waist that was narrowed by the jade belt, they lightly bumped into each other's eyes, and then passed each other for a moment.

There is no trace of strangeness on the two faces, so calm and calm that the courtiers suspect that all the rumors about the deep love between the emperor and empress and obsessive sadomasochism are just non-existent rumors.

The matter discussed in the early court today is to unify the management of the post of musician and dancer in the market teaching workshop. As the new year approaches, foreign races from the Zhou Kingdom have poured in many New Year acrobatic troupes one after another.

Both the Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of Rites wanted to let their own people go. This official position is not big, but its position is very important. It is tantamount to a subcultural diplomacy. Everyone knows that Emperor Xi is ambitious to expand his territory and has a lot to do in the Zhou Dynasty.

On the last day of the Gengzi Year, morning court was full of quarrels.

Seeing Liang Hui showing that familiar sneer again, Zhu Zhiyi knew that someone was going to suffer again, so she put her hands together and stepped forward, saying: "Your Majesty, I think that the position of fan music envoy is different from the ordinary management position, and you don't have to be from the Ministry of Rites and officials. Recommended by the Ministry."

"Oh?" Liang Hui asked in a businesslike manner, "Tell me."

"Firstly, this is a job in a music workshop after all. As the chief executive who manages musicians and dancers, he should first learn about literature, education and music theory before he can convince the public; secondly, it is related to diplomacy with other countries and friendship with different races. People better be good at multi-ethnic languages.”

"I think it's better for this position to be selected for the people, not limited to men and women, not limited to nationality, not limited to nationalities, so as to show my tolerance and openness, and the tolerance of all rivers."

Liang Hui didn't say yes or no, he just swiped the ball and kicked the ball to the two old guys who were quarreling just now: "Chen Shangshu, Zhang Shangshu, what do you think?"

I wish Zhiyi a bowl of water, the method proposed is indeed the fairest way that cannot be refuted, and the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Officials can't say no, whoever is not happy with it will be too obvious to make money.

Both of them had to answer: "I have no objection."

"My minister agrees."

Liang Hui raised his eyebrows, it turned out that to cure these old oils and old antiques, you need small antiques.

"Precise play."

In the fifth year of Xihe, following the establishment of women's education for women's officials, Daliang created a precedent for appointing foreign nationals as officials, and opened a civilized and prosperous age.

At the end of the new year, the official rest and bathing, the subordinates are free, and the emperor still has to deal with the daily rush, so Zhu Zhiyi will go out of the palace alone.

Go see Jiang Zhuli.

That day, it was the other party who took huge risks to help him escape from Fengwu Garden, and even gave him ample money so that he could return to Beijing smoothly.

Some time ago, Liang Hui sent troops to the south and directly copied Fengwuyuan. Zhu Zhiyi gave Jiangzhuli a hundred taels of gold and many silver assets.

Jiang Zhuli was stunned for a while when he knew that Zhu Zhiyi was the queen of Daliang, his heart was bitter and sore, thinking that he had been bought into Liuxiang since he was a child, and now he could not think of home when he got out, so he followed Jing Yuwei back to Beijing .

He just wanted to say thank you in person, and...see again that person who looked like a banished immortal.

When I arrived in Beijing a few days ago, it happened that Zhu Zhiyi was going to go to Gu, and Liang Hui was seriously injured and couldn't get away. Later, he was appointed as the head of the pavilion.

Jiang Zhuli now lives in a Zhuang Mansion arranged by Qiao Yi, which is the place Zhu Zhiyi gave him as a gift, complete with gardens and servants.

Zhu Zhiyi, who has turned back into a queen, has not changed much from the resolute and indifferent gentleman in Jiang Zhuli's memory. She has no airs and is approachable.

Zhu Zhiyi asked him what his future plans were.

Jiang Zhuli shook his head.

Zhu Zhiyi thought about it carefully, and suggested that he might as well try for the position of Fan Music Envoy, which is about to be recruited by Beijing Central High School.

On the day he returned to the court, he took this position out of the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Officials for selection among the people in order to find practical people.

In the past, some powerful and high-ranking officials always liked to stuff the unpromising children of the family into such seemingly idle positions, and they would eat a vegetarian meal. Now that he is the head of the cabinet, it is time to change this kind of atmosphere.

Zhu Zhiyi analyzed for him: "You are good at multi-ethnic languages, you are also proficient in music theory, and your pipa skills are superb, you might as well give it a try." qualified for this position.

Although Jiang Zhuli has no experience as an official, he is highly skilled, has a solid personality, and is literate. As long as he has a heart to do things for the people and is willing to learn, it is not difficult.

Jiang Zhuli was stunned, and asked blankly: "Do you want to be an official? As a subject..."

How can he compare with those scholars and noble sons who have been born in a clean family and have good roots?Everything is inferior, only reading is high, let alone people like them.

Zhu Zhiyi looked at him calmly: "Heroes don't ask where they come from. Since there is no rule on the recruitment list that you are not allowed to be a slave in the past, you are eligible. You are now a citizen and a free body. As long as you don't mind passing by, No one can underestimate you."
