Xuanyuan Xue is no longer the innocent girl she used to be.
Although her mission and responsibility is to serve as the Empress's blade.
But over the years, she had served as the Tianjing Police Chief Wei Qianhu, and she had seen too many dark things, and she also understood what kind of group of people were behind the decline of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
Getting these conservatives to vouch for their power is far from being as simple as just talking.
But until now.
Only then did she truly feel the difficulty of reforming the court.
Every step you take must be weighed again and again.
And the more I want to understand this.
Xuanyuan Xue also understood more and more why His Majesty valued Gu Changsheng so much.
A figure with a general think tank is indeed in urgent need of the Empress of Zhou in front of her!
Looking at his cronies' thoughtful expression.
The empress didn't say anything more.
Xuanyuan Xue will know these things sooner or later. Although she is his most loyal sword, there are some things that are involved and understood in advance. It is also necessary.
"Your Majesty."
Xuanyuan Xue was stunned for a moment and then came to her senses. Although her heart was still a little shaken, she also knew that now was not the time to express emotion, so she immediately spoke out about the inquiry from the Ministry of Rites.
"I wonder if Jieyuan, who is taking the imperial examination, will be recruited into the capital?"
Prefecture examination, state examination, palace examination.
The top names in these three subjects are Jieyuan, Huiyuan and Zhuangyuan.
According to the usual practice, those who have obtained these honors can enter the capital with special permission and can directly enter the court as officials without participating in the remaining assessments.
This provision.
In fact, it is prepared for those great talents who have made world-shaking strategies, so that they can immediately become close ministers of the emperor and prepare for the eradication of old evils in the future.
Gu Changsheng, who made the policy theory of subjugating the country, obviously complied with this requirement.
Besides.
Since the empress has now given out the hint.
Even if Gu Changsheng comes to the capital, the civil and military officials in Tianjing City will not have much ill will toward him, and will even try to win over him.
This is not without precedent.
Although these great talents all have their own ambitions, ambitions are not immutable.
Moreover, Gu Changsheng's fundamental Taoism is not Confucianism, but Painting Taoism. Even if he changes his ambition, it will not have much impact.
The civil and military officials will only work harder to win over him, and there is no need to worry about any overt or covert attacks that will harm this talented man.
certainly.
Xuanyuan Xue is not afraid whether Gu Changsheng will really be won over.
If you are really won over.
That also proves that this person is not worthy of a big job. It is much better than to find out that this person is a wax gun head when entrusting Gu Changsheng with the important task in the future.
Hear Xuanyuan Xue's words.
The empress was also slightly startled. After pondering for a moment, she did not nod happily as Xuanyuan Xue thought. Instead, she pondered for a moment, shook her head, and rejected Xuanyuan Xue's proposal.
"Gu Xianren's strategy is indeed in line with my wishes, but now that he has entered the imperial court, he will not be able to accomplish anything. He is just wasting his years and his life!"
The empress was calm, but there was also a hint of helplessness in her voice.
As Xuanyuan Xue grew up, she realized how grand their ambitions were when they were young. As the Empress of Zhou Dynasty, she was no exception.
But the more this happened, the more she was unwilling to admit defeat, bowed her head, and wanted to work hard to realize her ambition.
But, she realized it only when she was sitting on the dragon throne.
Many things cannot be decided by becoming an emperor. There is no real freedom in the world, even if you are an emperor.
Only with enough strength can you achieve the goals you want to achieve.
And Gu Changsheng has become the core of the empress's think tank.
Naturally, he won't let him waste his time.
Just think of this.
The empress looked around.
The maids in the Forbidden Palace all understood and bowed away one after another, not daring to stay any longer. Only Xuanyuan Xue remained. These maids were not surprised by such a situation.
"His Majesty."
Xuanyuan Xue was a little nervous.
The empress waved her hand to reassure her, and she stood up and came to a huge golden map.
The huge map is nine feet wide and quite majestic. Standing in front of this huge map, the empress's petite body looks even more delicate, but her golden dragon robe and imperial crown give her a royal bearing.
On the map, mountains and rivers are embroidered with gold thread, rivers are embroidered with silver thread, and calligraphers use large strokes to outline the cities and depict the state capitals.
Qianzhou Prefecture on New Year's Day.
On this map, everything is included and included.
The empress' gaze fell on this vast map, and she scanned it one by one from top to bottom before speaking softly.
"I am going to let him stay where he is and have a good experience. When the time is right, I will recruit him into the court."
"Experience... in the local area?"
Xuanyuan Xue was stunned.
Although she guessed that His Majesty's arrangements for Gu Changsheng would be different from the past.
But I didn't expect that His Majesty would keep Gu Changsheng in the local area for training. This was a bit unexpected.
after all.
With Gu Changsheng's status and talent, it is not polite to say that it is only a matter of time before he becomes an official in Beijing.
And if we want to reform government affairs in the future, we will inevitably start with the court.
If Gu Changsheng enters the capital earlier, he will be able to familiarize himself with the various affairs of the three divisions and six departments in Tianjing City earlier, and he will be able to handle them more easily.
Practice locally.
It was said that it was just experience, but Xuanyuan Xue didn't think it would be of much use!
However, the empress shook her head.
When Xuanyuan Xue thinks this way, she actually treats Gu Changsheng as a tool.
I am only familiar with the court, not the place.
The courtiers who started to implement the reform in this way meant that the reform was ultimately successful, and it must be because of the emperor's talent and strategy behind it.
And the ultimate outcome for such courtiers is, at best, to reduce their positions to serve the people, in order to appease the anger of the old bureaucrats who have suffered huge losses in their interests.
Only courtiers who are familiar with the court and the place.
Only then can we truly formulate reform policies to their fullest potential.
It can also truly assist the king and complete the rejuvenation of the country. Read Shula
In other words.
"Gu Changsheng is a divine sword! It is my Zhongxing Shenfeng of Great Zhou!"
"This divine sword must not be moved lightly! Let alone be moved rashly!"
The empress spoke calmly.
"Although Beijing officials are good, some Beijing officials do not have the qualifications to experience in the place. They cannot do it and cannot do it well!"
"Can't do it? Can't do it well?"
Hear His Majesty's words.
Xuanyuan Xue was startled.
Immediately, he suddenly reacted: "Your Majesty means... Zhongshu Sheng!?"
In the Great Zhou Dynasty, there was no prime minister.
There are three departments and six departments, with clear responsibilities and powers.
But among them.
Zhongshu Province, the head of the three departments, is an exception.
The Zhongshu Sheng has only one authority, and that is to issue the final decision of the court in writing.
It sounds like it is an organization that spreads messages, but in fact, it is not!
