Even the old Heavenly Official from the Ministry of Rites breathed a sigh of relief. Seeing Xuanyuan Xue come in, he said in a loud voice: "Xuanyuan Qianhu has arrived. You might as well come into the hall to drink tea. I will ask them to sort out the files and present them to Qianhu.
Send it to His Majesty?"
"Thank you, Heavenly Official, but there is no need for tea. It is important to hand over the masterpieces of this year's imperial examination to His Majesty as soon as possible. Don't miss the release of the imperial examination results. This is a big deal."
Xuanyuan Xue bowed slightly and said in a neither humble nor arrogant tone.
"That's fine."
I heard Xuanyuan Xue mention the Empress.
The old Tianguan didn't insist anymore, he nodded repeatedly and gave his subordinate a look. Soon, a stack of files with a complicated seal script on it was delivered.
It looks like just a roll.
In fact, when this seal script from Longhu Mountain, the ancestral home of Taoism, is unveiled, the original manuscripts of all Mingzhou-level masterpieces in the Jinkefu Examination will be revealed.
Xuanyuan Xue checked the seal script and confirmed with the Heavenly Official that nothing was missing as usual.
Just ready to say goodbye.
Seeing that this person is about to leave.
The old Tianguan finally couldn't help the doubts in his heart and whispered: "May I ask Xuanyuan Qianhu, when will your Majesty prepare to release the results? If there is a delay, please ask Qianhu to explain in advance, and I and the Ministry of Rites can also make preparations early.
"
Hear the words of the Heavenly Official.
Xuanyuan Xue also paused, and after pondering for a moment, said: "Whether it's delayed or not, I have to wait until I go back to ask for His Majesty's Holy Judgment, but it doesn't matter if the Heavenly Official makes preparations early, but."
Xuanyuan Xue said, glanced at the anxious expressions of the officials of the Ministry of Etiquette present, shook his head and said in relief: "My lords, there is no need to worry. Your Majesty is removing the manuscript from me this time. It's not because of the Ministry of Rites' behavior or anything else, it's just because of Your Majesty.
, I just forgot about myself for a while while reading Gu Xianren’s policies.”
Hear Xuanyuan Xue's words.
All the officials of the Ministry of Rites breathed a sigh of relief.
And when I heard it at the end, it was called selflessness for a moment.
But they all showed understanding expressions!
The name Gu Xianren, Gu Changsheng, is now a household name in the Zhou Dynasty and Tianjing City!
The most famous one is the article on national policy in Jinkefu Examination!
The public was extremely curious about the content of the article on national policy, and there was a lot of discussion. However, His Majesty's imperial review has not yet ended, and everyone can only guess that even the six heavenly officials have no right to read and investigate!
And such a national policy.
As a man today, it is normal for me to forget myself while reading.
Xuanyuan Xue seemed to have some emotions about this matter, and then said with emotion: "Your Majesty also said that reading the strategies and opinions of wise men, if you look in the mirror and observe their clothes, it can make people think deeply and wake them up to reflect on themselves!"
Look in the mirror and look at your clothes.
Wake up and reflect?
Hear Xuanyuan Xue's words.
The officials present, big and small, made eye contact with each other, and they were all a little moved.
Even the old Heavenly Official’s eyes twinkled slightly.
Xuanyuan Xue, however, seemed to have realized her gaffe, and refused to speak again. She immediately cupped her hands slightly and said, "Old Heavenly Official, I bear the emperor's mandate and I don't dare to stay for a long time. I'll take my leave here!"
"Congratulations to thousands of households."
Everyone immediately bowed to see him off.
And after watching Xuanyuan Xue leave.
The other ministers from the Ministry of Etiquette couldn't help but come to the side of the old Heavenly Official.
"Lord Shangshu?"
The old Tianguan narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at the subordinates on both sides: "Did you all hear it?"
All the officials nodded one after another, feeling relieved: "It seems that although Gu Xianren's policy can be used to control the country, more importantly, it should be to advise His Majesty on how to restrain oneself and restore etiquette, and reform the government.
Not much involved!”
"Now, I can breathe a sigh of relief!"
The old Heavenly Official also nodded slightly.
"Since you all know it, I don't need to waste my breath any more. Let's get the news out so that they can all feel at ease."
"yes!"
All the officials bowed in unison.
But at this moment, a younger subordinate official couldn't help but whispered: "Sir, although these words are private words of Xuanyuan Qianhu, they involve your Majesty after all. If we can share these information
If word spreads, His Majesty will know about it, and if someone blames him..."
"It doesn't matter."
The old Heavenly Official narrowed his eyes and said calmly: "There is no harm in spreading this news. Your Majesty is merciful and will not blame you. You can rest assured."
"yes!"
I heard Shangguan clarify the matter.
These subordinate officials also completely calmed down, stopped worrying, and took action one after another - these days, many people are curious about the content of the article on national policy.
Just waiting for the news to come out from the Ministry of Rites!
Watching the officials from the Ministry of Rites move.
Old Tianguan was sitting on a soft chair, with a pair of seemingly cloudy eyes, but there was an unconcealable sparkle in his eyes. He narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at the place where Xuanyuan Xue left outside the hall, but there was curiosity in his eyes!
"What's your advice to His Majesty? Haha, interesting..."
"I really don't know what kind of strategy this Gu Xian has made, and he is worthy of His Majesty's protection!"
…
Deep in the Forbidden Palace.
Xuanyuan Xue returned to the Forbidden Palace with the dossier, presented the dossier respectfully, and stood in front of the steps with a bow.
After a while.
Behind the bead curtain, the empress' faint voice came: "Has the news been released?"
"Return to Your Majesty and let him go."
"only……"
Xuanyuan Xue quickly bowed and replied, but after finishing speaking, he hesitated.
"Um?"
The empress raised her brows slightly and looked at Xuanyuan Xue: "It's just that, you are my private person. If you have anything to say, you don't have to hide it, just say it."
"yes."
Xuanyuan Xue nodded quickly, but couldn't help but said: "I think your Majesty's move is really effective? Is it too obvious?"
"Too obvious?"
The empress smiled and said: "Xue'er, you mean that the Heavenly Official will realize that this is my instruction to you, and I specifically asked you to let the news out, so that the officials in the court will not regard Gu Changsheng as a thorn in the side of the reform.
, is that what you mean?”
"Exactly!"
Xuanyuan Xue nodded, but worried that her tone was too harsh, she quickly explained.
"I know that Your Majesty appreciates Gu Changsheng's talent, and I also know that Gu Changsheng is indeed capable. However, I'm afraid it will be difficult for Your Majesty to do this. The effect of protecting him..."
The more Xuanyuan Xue spoke, the lower her voice became.
Although she was the empress's personal servant, she could give advice when she was in the dormitory back then. But now, she didn't need to be reminded by others to give advice so bluntly. Xuanyuan Xue herself realized that it was a bit too much.
But the empress waved her hand and smiled, saying: "I understand what you mean, but you don't have to worry about these things."
Whether you have concerns about Xuanyuan Xue or you can directly remonstrate with him.
The empress was not angry. Xuanyuan Xue was her most loyal guard and the sharpest sword. She was not known for her resourcefulness, let alone.
It seems that God has already sent the wisdom she lacks to her!
