The Four Concubines

"If you say this Yun Sheng is also a talent! Although he is useless in state affairs, but with his good voice, he really caught up with the number one beauty in Daqin at that time!"

"it is good!"

"it is good!"

"Well said!"

Yun Xiao was startled by the excited shouts around her. Hearing the applause from all over the building, she felt helpless.

In the Zichen Palace before, Changsun Wuji spent two cups of tea and listed nearly ten reasons for "why the official selection system cannot be changed". At first, Yun Xiao could listen carefully, but she could barely hear the fourth She started to get distracted.

It's no wonder that she couldn't listen anymore. Changsun Wuji expanded from an official selection system to the influence of the imperial court and local families, and what kind of turmoil the country would experience if a large amount of money was targeted at the family.

Yun Xiao got dizzy when he heard that, are all of you politicians so crooked?Yun Xiao looked worriedly at the black hair under Changsun Wuji's official hat, wondering how long they would last.

Changsun Wuji was still analyzing the general situation in the court, but was interrupted by Yun Xiao's gesture.

Yun Xiao took a deep breath, and said seriously, "The selection system for officials must be changed!"

"Your Majesty!" Changsun Wuji uttered immediately, but Yun Xiao made a gesture of calming down.

"I know what Master Changsun is worried about." Yun Xiao organized his words, "But officials are the mainstay of the country. If the officials are all useless, then the country is rotten from the inside. What does your lord mean? Understand, I don't intend to directly change the situation now, but I need adults to help me plan, how can I reform the most tactfully and quickly."

After finishing this long series of words, Yun Xiao took a deep breath. Although she knew nothing about politics, she knew a lot about history. In the 2000-year history of feudal rule, how many dynasties were dominated by such aristocratic families? Leading to the usurpation and destruction of the country.

The imperial examination system must be implemented, otherwise, after 20 years of muddling along like this, Qin is really hopeless.

Changsun Wuji fell silent after listening to Yun Xiao's words, but the taciturn Changsun Wuchen looked up at Yun Xiao, his eyes full of approval.

Changsun Wuji was silent for a moment and then said: "Your Majesty's thoughts are understood, but this is a very big plan, please think about it for a few days, and then give an explanation to Your Majesty in a few days."

Yun Xiao nodded, "Master Changsun, don't worry, I also know that this matter needs to be taken care of slowly, don't put too much pressure on yourself..." Watch out for your hairline... The last sentence Yun Xiao said for Changsun Wuji In order to save face, I could only say something silently in my heart.

Yun Xiao felt that it was really not easy for him to be an emperor, worrying about state affairs and taking into account the health of his subjects...

The three of them made a summary of the content of today's court.

The main purpose was to give a detailed explanation to Yun Xiao who had no political awareness. After all these big and small matters were dealt with, the sun had already risen. Yun Xiao intended to keep the two of them for lunch, but this time they agreed The mouth declined.

Yun Xiao didn't force it, and said something hard to them. Before leaving, Changsun Wuji looked at Yun Xiao frequently as if he wanted to say something. Yunxiao asked him to speak directly, but this time Changsun Wuji still didn't I can speak.

"My lord grandson... you can just say something, um... no matter what you say, I won't be angry, um, yes, I'm sorry." Yun Xiao is still a little unaccustomed to the ancients' way of speaking, and she feels as if she is acting TV series, although there is no camera, but it is still a bit shy to say it...

Changsun Wuji hesitated again and again, looked at the expressionless Changsun Wuchen frequently, and opened his mouth with the expression of a strong man breaking his wrist, "Your Majesty, what Li Shangshu said today makes sense. It's better to book it later..."

Yun Xiao frowned, but didn't speak immediately, Changsun Wuji secretly looked at Yun Xiao's expression, seeing that she was silent and didn't show any displeasure, he was quietly relieved, and thinking of what he hadn't finished, he gritted his teeth and continued, " Your Majesty, I know that your Majesty is worried that the harem will affect the previous court, so I dare not easily appoint a heir. I am not talented, and there is a younger sister in my family. If your majesty really doesn't know who to appoint as empress, my younger sister is willing to solve your majesty's worries."

After Yun Xiao listened, she glanced at Changsun Wuji. The two brothers didn't look up after they finished speaking this time, and lowered their heads with a look of remonstrance. , It's just that this thought flashed in my mind, and I was strangled to death by myself.

"You don't feel sorry for my sister." Yun Xiao was a little melancholy.

Changsun Wuji bowed his head and waited for a long time, but he didn't expect Yun Xiao to say such a sentence.

How could they not feel sorry for their younger sister? The three of them depended on each other since they were young. Finally, both of them held high positions in government and had no worries about food and clothing. They were also involved in disputes between the court and China. They wanted to protect the emperor, but this emperor made them shattered. Xin, Changsun Wuji's words just now can be said to be against the world's dissatisfaction. If it were any other emperor, just his words would drag him out and cut off his brothers.

But Yun Xiao only asked if they didn't love her sister.

Yun Xiao lamented in her heart that women really had no status in feudal dynasties. No matter how much the two brothers of the eldest grandson's family loved their sister, they still wanted to send their own sister to the palace. What about the queen?Wasn't it being locked up by this imperial city for a lifetime, the highest glory, but a little comfort from loneliness.

Yun Xiao shook her head, but said to the two of them to wait and see.

Let's see if there is another way.

She is an emperor, but she is also a woman, and she "does not obey the destiny", if she can, she doesn't want to lock an innocent girl into the palace, even if this girl is chosen by herself from the beginning.

After the eldest grandson brothers left, Yun Xiao collapsed again. Even if she is the emperor now, there are still many things that she cannot and cannot do.

If according to the previous game, she has soldiers in her hands, she can completely kill every single one in the court with the iron and blood policy, but now she can't, it involves too many aspects, and the subjects are no longer NPCs and numbers, how can she go on? hand.

Yun Xiao was in a restless mood and didn't even finish his lunch. Under the almost despairing eyes of the servant, he put on plain clothes and took the servant's badge, and walked out of the palace in a grand manner.

Well, how can a good emperor not know what his people's daily life is like!

The Qin Dynasty is similar to the Tang Dynasty in Xiaoyuan's world. Foreign merchants can be seen everywhere on the main road of the capital, and the costumes of different styles are interspersed with the crowds, which is very lively.

As Yun Xiao walked, he felt novelty in everything. Previously, literati and poets used pen and ink to describe the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty, but no matter how gorgeous the writing was, it could not compare with what they saw with their own eyes.

"My lord, my lord, come in and have a cup of tea. Our tea in Yingchun Building is recognized as the best in the capital!"

Yun Xiao felt someone pulling her arm, and when she turned her head, she saw a young man smiling brightly at her. Yun Xiao looked up at the three-story building behind the young man, um, it wasn't a brothel.

Yun Xiao thought for a while, then asked, "Is there anything to eat?"

The boy was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect that someone would ask if there was any food in the Yingchun Building, but he was also a smart person, he just paused in his heart, and his mouth twitched, "Master, this is his first visit to the capital, right?" , our Yingchun Building is a tea house, but although it is a tea house, our dim sum here is also the best in the capital, why don't you come in and try it?"

Yun Xiao happily said hello, she was not very picky about food, she just didn't eat at noon, she was a little hungry after walking for a long time.

The boy led Yun Xiao into the Yingchun Building, Yun Xiao looked it up and down, the design of this building is a bit interesting, there is a high platform in the middle, and there are desks and chairs for storytelling on it, but there is no one on the seat. Yes, it hasn’t started yet, and there are scattered and chic guest tables all around

.

Yingchun Building has three floors, the second floor, the decoration of the third floor is slightly better than the first floor, but there is nothing special, and there are no single rooms. It is clear that it is a place to listen to books. Yun Xiao sat on the third floor and expressed emotion The TV shows are all lies. They are plotting big things in teahouses, restaurants, and brothels. There is no door here, so who dares to plot.

Fortunately, the boy didn't boast about it. Yingchunlou's dim sum tastes really good, sweet but not greasy, loose but not soft, um, there are no preservatives.

Yun Xiao finished eating a piece of dim sum, and the storyteller also came. With a clap of Tang Mu, he began to talk about the past of a prince in Qin Dynasty chasing his wife. Yun Xiao almost choked on the dim sum, Qin Chao was too open Well, you dare to speak out about this kind of princely and noble affairs so openly.

Well, TV dramas are indeed a lie!

Here, Yun Xiao ate wholeheartedly, and there were occasional applause from below, but it was lively and cheerful. Yun Xiao finished a plate of dim sum and was sipping tea when the voice from next door drifted in.

It wasn't that Yun Xiao was eavesdropping on people's speech on purpose, but there was a curtain hanging between the two compartments. Apart from being unable to see people's faces clearly, any louder voices couldn't be hidden. What's more, the neighbor's The man obviously didn't intend to hide it, the voice was very loud.

"Brother Pang, look at that little girl on the second floor." A young voice rang out first, and Yun Xiao raised her eyebrows. The voice sounded like a scholar, but the tone was full of obscenity.

"Well, not bad, I didn't expect to have such a big harvest today by drinking tea." Another male voice sounded, and Yun Xiao silently discerned the conversation next door. The second person who spoke should be that "Brother Pang".

"Pang?" Yun Xiao murmured in his heart, the surname of Pang in the capital...

Yun Xiao looked up to the second floor, and saw the girl they were talking about at a glance. Without him, her outstanding temperament really made it impossible not to attract attention.

Yun Xiao put down the teacup, and went downstairs quickly without any intention, only to find on the second floor that the woman was not alone, but also accompanied by a servant girl, who was standing behind, and she was looking down from a height, so she didn't see Until there is such a person.

Yun Xiao looked up and saw that the person next door had already started to move, she didn't care about anything else, and sat directly opposite the woman, the maid was about to speak when Yun Xiao stopped her.

"I'll talk about it later, your lady is in danger."

Xu Yunxiao's tone was too serious, and the maid swallowed the scolding from the edge of her mouth.

Yun Xiao looked up at the woman, thinking of how to explain the matter clearly as quickly as possible, but just by opening her eyes, a pair of scissored eyes crashed into her eyes, abruptly interrupting what Yun Xiao was about to say.

The woman was not frightened by Yun Xiao who suddenly barged in, but instead said with a smile, "Is there something wrong, sir?"

When the woman smiled, two dimples appeared on her face. I don't know whether it was because her eyes were too bright or the dimples were too pretty. Yun Xiao's brain froze and she stared blankly at her, unable to say a word. come out.
