The Four Concubines

The daylight in winter is relatively late, when Yun Xiao was woken up, the sky outside was still cloudy, Yun Xiao sat on the bed and watched her eldest grandson Wugou busy in the house, for a moment she thought she was in Weiyang Palace bedroom.

It wasn't until Changsun Wugou put a warm towel on her forehead that Yun Xiao fully woke up. He blinked at Yun Xiao who had just woken up, and then was thrown across the face by the towel.

How cute is this guy!

Changsun Wugou pressed the towel on Yunxiao's face, turned around and didn't look at her anymore.

Yun Xiao didn't know why Changsun Wugou suddenly treated her like this, thinking that his "performance" last night reminded Changsun Wugou of some "bad" memories, so that he "had a grudge".

Survival is online again!Yun Xiao got up quickly, ignoring how noisy the cold air outside the bed was, and began to dress herself.

The eldest grandson Wugou calmed down his emotions, but felt that what he had done just now was not right. Yun Xiao just woke up, his eyes were still a little hazy, and he didn't deliberately "show cuteness". He didn't know what he was doing with this towel. I thought so and threw it out.

Turning around, before he could apologize, he saw that Yun Xiao's clothes were neatly dressed.

"When did you learn to put on your own clothes?" Obviously, the last time I went to court, I couldn't...

Yun Xiao had a proud expression on his face, "How can such a trivial matter as putting on clothes be difficult for me, and besides, I'm not an ignorant child, if I have hands and feet, of course I have to wear them myself." Yun Xiao turned around on the spot and let the eldest grandson Wu Gou inspected, "Although this court dress is a little more complicated, I have never seen a pig run, and I haven't eaten pork yet."

The eldest grandson Wugou was stunned, and looked at her with a half-smile, "Who do you call a pig?"

This time it was Yun Xiao's turn to be dazed. In the memory of Changsun Wugou's smile was a dignified and gentle smile, this was the first time Yun Xiao saw this kind of smile with "bad intentions".

Well, it's a little surprising...

Seeing Yun Xiao looking at him in a daze, the eldest grandson Wugou returned to his normal smile, pressed Yun Xiao down on the chair, and began to tie her hair and wear a crown.

Yun Xiao looked at the eldest grandson Wugou who was concentrating in the bronze mirror in a daze, until the servant came to remind Yun Xiao that it was almost time, and Yun Xiao didn't come back to his senses.

Changsun Wugou lightly swept Yun Xiao's back, smoothed the folds on his shoulders, stepped back and bowed slightly, indicating that it was completed.

It was time to go up to the court, but Yun Xiao was a little scared for no reason. This was the first time she felt afraid in such a long time. She was not afraid when she crossed over. Although the first time went up to the court, her legs were weak, but her heart was quite calm. Dozens of people went She was never afraid of entering the Liaojiang camp, but this time she went to court, she was very panicked.

She was afraid that she would not be able to do it, so she would lose all her strength. If she couldn't get a good result today, she would be more passive next time when she faced courtiers who were more prepared. If the evaluation sounds good, she can be regarded as unconventional, but if it sounds bad, it is absurd!

Taking this step is to declare war on the feudal rule for more than 1000 years!

Sensing Yun Xiao's uneasiness, Changsun Wugou stepped forward to hold her hand and silently supported her.

Yun Xiao looked at the smiling grandson Wugou, held her hand instead, pulled her into her arms, and tightened her arms tightly. Changsun Wugou's chin rested on Yunxiao's shoulder. Yun Xiao's heartbeat sounded like a drum beating, and she patted her on the back soothingly.

The servant waited outside and wanted to speak to remind the time, but he didn't dare to speak out at this time.

Yun Xiao took a deep breath, let go of her grandson Wugou, looked at her firm tone, "I'm going."

The eldest grandson Wugou nodded vigorously, followed Yun Xiao all the way to the outside of the Golden Dragon Hall, and followed the figure walking straight forward with his eyes.

"She's gone?" Xiao Chuo's voice came from the side.

"En." Changsun Wugou still looked ahead.

"She can do it. Believe her, we all have to believe her." Xiao Chuo murmured, not knowing whether to tell the people around her or herself.

At the same time, in the clock tower, the tallest building in the palace, a line of sight fell on Yun Xiao's back. Luo Shui stood at the air outlet, his hair dancing in the wind, and looked at Yun Xiao playfully, as if watching another good show.

The harem was calm, but the former dynasty began to be bloody.

"Go up!"

Following the voice of the waiter, Yun Xiao took the ninety-fifth position.

"Long time no see, gentlemen." Uncharacteristically taciturn, Yun Xiao spoke with a relaxed tone, and spoke first.

"The emperor's dragon body is well, we are very lucky." After hearing Yun Xiao's words, all the officials said in unison.

"I heard that Da Sikong was not feeling well a few days ago. I wonder if he's getting better now?" Yun Xiao's eyes fell on Pang Huaibing who was standing in the front row.

Compared with the smiling Yun Xiao, Pang Huaibing's complexion was very bad, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your concern, I'm still in good health."

Yun Xiao just smiled at this answer. She had read the letter given to her by the patriarch of Talbu, which contained Pang Huaibing's arrangements for Liaojiang for more than ten years. Take it out and identify him face to face, but if he really bites down the line, Pang Huaibing will never escape the responsibility.

Thinking of Pang Huaibing knowing that his arrangement of more than ten years was in vain, and having to control his expression to reply respectfully to the "culprit", Yun Xiao felt very happy.

"I think you all know the matter of Liaojiang, and I don't want to talk too much. I have other things to say today." Yun Xiao looked around and continued, "From now on, books are open to ordinary people, and the imperial court supports them. The folk school was established, and a certain amount of subsidies was given, and, starting next year, a three-day official selection examination will be set up on the vernal and autumnal equinoxes, so as to recruit people of insight from all over the world to become officials."

"emperor!"

"No!"

"Think twice, Your Majesty!"

"Absurd! Absurd!"

As soon as Yun Xiao finished speaking, the whole court exploded, and the voices of opposition were endless, and even a few veteran officials blushed because of shouting.

Yun Xiao stared coldly at the chaotic group below, and said coldly, "Be quiet for me!"

There was a moment of silence in the hall because of Yun Xiao's words, Yun Xiao continued to drop a bigger bomb unhurriedly, "I haven't finished talking yet, those who take the exam are not only students, but also women."

……

……

……

The Prime Minister, who was originally humble, suddenly raised his head, but after a while, his expression became complicated and lowered.Changsun Wuji's brows were tightly locked, he didn't know what he was thinking, even the always paralyzed Changsun Wuchen had a slight surprise on his expression.

The hall was completely quiet. The courtiers ignored the etiquette and looked up at Yun Xiao one by one. What did their emperor just say?Allow women to take exams?Allow women to be officials?

crazy!

crazy!

The Great Qin Emperor is crazy!

"Now you have questions to talk about." Yun Xiao ignored their reactions, and then added after a pause, "Tell me one by one."

"Your Majesty, this is absolutely impossible!" A second-rank minister immediately came out and shouted loudly.

"Are you saying that thing is wrong?" Yun Xiao, who was a little scared before going to the court, calmed down a lot after finishing speaking, and began to deal with them calmly and calmly as if sitting firmly on a Diaoyutai.

"Everything is not allowed!" The minister said without thinking.

"Oh? Not everything, you want to say that I am a fool and all the decisions are wrong?" Yun Xiao looked at the minister with a smile on his face.

"I don't dare! I don't mean that, but, I just said that the emperor's decision-making has some... problems." The second-rank minister was busy explaining while choosing words carefully. I don't want to say whether Yun Xiao is a fool, even if she is really , and you can't say that she is a faint king in front of her. If this is true, it will be a great crime to punish the nine clans!

"Then tell me, what's the problem." Yun Xiao didn't delve into it, and waited for the other party to speak in a humble tone.

"Your Majesty, it's not easy to make books. Even our family has only a few, how can we open them to the common people!" The minister calmed down, carefully recalled what Yun Xiao said just now, and decided to break down one by one.

"I also want to add this question. I have a method called movable type printing. Well, let me give you a simple example." Yun Xiao waved to the foreign servant holding the seal, beckoning him to come over, then raised the emperor's seal and said , "The principle is similar to that of seals. Commonly used characters are reversely engraved on mud embryos of the same size and specifications, and a frame of suitable size is prepared. After the mud embryo is baked hard, the characters are placed in the frame according to the content of the book to ensure that they are arranged neatly. , and then pour ink on it, attach white paper, and then just sweep the white paper, well, if you don’t understand, I’ll make one for you these few days, and you’ll understand after looking at it.”

"The problem of the number of books has been solved, are there any other problems?" Yun Xiao continued to ask.

The courtiers were still immersed in Yun Xiao's "movable type printing" just now. There was no reply for a long time, and Yun Xiao was not in a hurry. After a long while, the quick-thinking ministers came back to their senses first, and the hall began to whisper non-stop .

"Are there any questions?" Yun Xiao looked at the ministers who came out and asked again.

The second-rank minister woke up like a dream, looked at Yun Xiao and opened his mouth, but he just said in a dejected manner, "Minister, it's okay." What qualifications to block the development of history.

The No. [-] minister of the defeated dog was included.

Yun Xiao raised her hand, "I know you guys can't accept it now, so why don't you all speak clearly, the result is nothing more than you persuading me, or I persuading you, now you have anything you want to say, you can come out and say it, no matter today Whatever you say, I will forgive you for your innocence. Similarly, I also hope that after the morning court is over, both of you and I will be convinced of each other."

The ministers continued to chat in a low voice, and the whole court was more like a large-scale press conference, and the "reporters" below were struggling to discuss the next question.

"Your Majesty!" Another minister of the third rank from a family came out, "Ordinary civilians can't read Chinese characters, how can they take the exam, let alone become an official in the court."

This is euphemistic.

Yun Xiao asked back, "Are you a commoner?"

The third-rank minister was taken aback, "No."

"How does Zifeiyu know that fish don't eat fish?" Yun Xiao laughed.

The minister frowned, knowing that there was no room for debate, and took a step back, "However, even if they have read books and can read, they may not be good officials!"

Yun Xiao smiled even more, "Who is born to be a good official? Are you? Or you?" Yun Xiao changed into a comfortable sitting position, tapped his hand, "Or, can I be born to be a good emperor? "

"Your Majesty's atonement, that's not what I mean!" The third-rank minister was frightened into a cold sweat when he heard Yun Xiao's words, and hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed in salute.

"Get up, I said that no matter what I say today, I will forgive you all. I said this myself, not you."

The third-rank minister stood up tremblingly, not daring to raise his head again.

Yun Xiao didn't care, and said to himself, "How did I become the emperor? You all know that if it wasn't for the sudden change in the palace, I wouldn't be able to sit in this position no matter what."

"The emperor's destiny is here." The third-rank minister said hastily.

Yun Xiao is very immune to this kind of flattery, and there is no fluctuation in his heart, "Whether I am a good emperor or not is left to future generations to say, whether it is good or not, at least for now I am still the Lord of the Great Qin Dynasty." , If you do well or not, you will not know until you do it.”

Yun Xiao made a pun, but he was speechless, and the No. [-] minister of the defeated dog was included.

The court fell into a short period of silence, and the ministers below did not dare to go out without authorization. Only then did they finally understand that the puppet emperor, whom they thought would be difficult to accomplish, had such a plan.
