Ding Xiaoyan looked at her expression: "Master, something happened in Qinzhou."
Now it is the time for the imperial examination. Before the academic examination, the Academic Affairs Council inspects the local areas and focuses on handling matters related to scholars. At this time last year, Qiao Sangyu also used this to sue the scumbag.
But just a few days ago, something happened in Qinzhou. Some students questioned the unfairness of the imperial examination and jointly filed a petition. The most important thing is that one student hit a pillar and died on the spot in the hall.
With human lives involved, the matter immediately became a big deal.
As we all know, Qinzhou is closely related to Empress Fu, and there must be someone pushing for this matter.
You know, there may have been unfairness before, but the last imperial examination, which was at the forefront, was absolutely fair.
Yan Shiyue is very annoyed by this kind of behavior of not confronting things directly and playing dirty tricks behind the scenes, but now she is surrounded by people like this.
She just nodded: "I know."
When she returned to the palace, the queen asked, "What happened?"
She said: "It's a small incident over there in Qinzhou. Don't worry, Mom, it has nothing to do with me."
The queen didn't ask any more questions, and only told her: "It's not good for you to ignore the things in Qinzhou, but you don't have to worry too much. Today is different from the past. You are the princess now, and you are no longer the little lady you were back then."
Already."
Yan Shiyue nodded, "I understand, Auntie."
She stayed in Kunning Palace for an hour, but Emperor Ming Yan didn't send anyone to call her, obviously he had no intention of linking the matter to her. Then in the afternoon, she heard that the emperor had sent an imperial envoy to deal with the matter.
Yan Shiyue went home directly.
In the evening, Huo Qijing came over to have dinner with her as usual and said to her, "The imperial envoy sent is named Zhang Baigui. You should know him?"
"Oh!" Yan Shiyue said, "So it's him!"
Zhang Baigui worked conscientiously as the acting county magistrate in Dongfeng County for more than half a year. It was not until his younger brother left that he came back and continued to be his supervisory censor. This man is a smart man, and he should not be biased towards either side, right?
Huo Qijing said: "I asked Weiwei to help find the person who touched the pillar and see if I can help."
Yan Shiyue responded.
Huo Qijing said again: "Your Majesty has transferred me to the Yulin Army."
Huh? So fast? But from the Shenwu Army to the Yulin Army, even if you transfer at the same level, you are moving up. After all, no matter what happens, if you get involved in the Imperial Army, it will be much more valuable.
Yan Shiyue asked: "Have you given out clothes?" She pinched her chin and looked at him: "I think the Yulin Army's clothes will definitely look good on you!"
Huo Qijing smiled: "You will see it when you put it on again." He paused: "I guess the emperor wants to take me with him when he goes to the palace. Time is running out. I have to get familiar with him quickly so that he can make arrangements when the time comes.
command."
Yan Shiyue nodded: "Yes."
After dinner, the two went to the study room. She practiced calligraphy, and Huo Qijing also practiced with her. Xu Wenqu came over and brought someone with him, saying, "Yue'er, this is my colleague."
The man stepped forward and saluted: "Qu Shao, the official, pays homage to the Marquis and the Prime Minister."
Qu Shao looked to be in his thirties, with a slender face, elegant and dignified, and he seemed to be from the same group as Xu Wenqu.
Yan Shiyue put down her pen and returned the gift.
She knew that Xu Wenqu would not introduce anyone to her casually, so she said, "Master Qu, please have a seat."
Qu Shao thanked him, stood up, and glanced across the room.
In her study room, on one side is "Fu Gui" painted by Emperor Yan of Ming Dynasty, and on the other side is "Picture of Rolling Yue Family". The latter is hung shorter than the former. The styles are completely different, but they complement each other.
Qu Shao looked at him for a few times, then sat down and served tea. Yan Shiyue said, "Master Qu, do you want to see me?"
He put down the teacup and saluted again: "You don't have to be polite, Prime Minister. My official cousin is Si Nian, so you can call me like this. To be honest with you, Si Nian is a self-recommended person."
"oh?"
Qu Sinian said calmly: "The prime minister has a pure heart and a cheerful and decisive temperament. He will not be patient with Machiavellian things, but he is in the middle of the situation and has no choice. Therefore... Si Nian is willing to make suggestions for the prime minister."
It's really direct.
She quite likes this kind of no-nonsense opening remarks, but she really doesn't need this skill.
She said: "Thank you for your kindness, Mr. Qu, but I don't want to live like this. This is the kind of person I am. I don't want to live like Zhang Shiyue and Li Shiyue."
Qu Sinian said calmly: "I dare to ask the prime minister, if something happens to the commander or the marquis, will you ignore it? Mr. Xiaoyan might ask him if something happens, but you will ignore it? Now if something happens in Qinzhou, will the prime minister?
Can you really be indifferent??”
Yan Shiyue was speechless: "So what?"
Qu Sinian said: "On that day, the Prime Minister, whether it was because he cared about the relationship between the emperor and his daughter, or because of a whim, but now that the Prime Minister has taken this step, is he really willing to retreat in disgrace? Does the Prime Minister know that even if the Prime Minister takes this step?
I will never go to court again... In the eyes of others, I am still the 'Master Prime Minister'! In the eyes of others, I am 'tasteless', but in the eyes of others, I am 'progress and retreat'!"
He paused for a moment: "The Prime Minister cannot avoid attacks and plans as long as he is in the government. The Prime Minister may not do it, but he must not understand it. The commander-in-chief and the young Marquis are not good at strategizing. If you ask him, he is not good at strategizing. Xiao Yan
"Although your Excellency is extremely intelligent, you come from Prince An's palace and many things are unclear to you, Prime Minister," he said sternly: "Prime Minister needs Si Nian's help to continue to do as he pleases and win unfailingly."
Yan Shiyue couldn't help but blinked at Huo Qijing, meaning, "People say you are unreasonable!"
Huo Qijing nodded, meaning "I really don't understand."
After a brief exchange of eyebrows, Yan Shiyue turned back and raised her eyebrows: "According to what you say, all the direct ministers throughout the ages will not be able to survive?"
Qu Sinian said: "None of the ministers in the past and present have been emperors and princesses. None of the ministers in the past and present have ever been so famous all over the world, have made great achievements, and have been so favored by saints." He glanced at her, "and they have never had such great achievements."
His authority will not make everyone feel like they are facing a powerful enemy."
Yan Shiyue was speechless again.
She said: "Actually, I really don't understand why they are so afraid of me."
Qu Sinian said: "There is a treasure in a certain mountain. I am very happy about it. I have been planning for it for a long time. The front and back roads can be blocked. But if someone jumps in from the air, will it be impossible to prevent it? But this person has a high position and cannot be forced.
drive away
, I can only let her do what she does... If this person takes away the treasure, will my previous efforts be in vain? If this person conveniently gives the treasure to my old enemy, how will I feel? If this person destroys the treasure, how will I feel?
How do you feel?"
Yan Shiyue was a little convinced.
There are so many smart people in this world. Yan Xiaohu gave her a half-day lesson, but it was not as good as his.
She instantly understood why others were acting like this.
Yan Shiyue said: "Master Qu is very eloquent, let me think about it."
Qu Sinian smiled slightly: "How about this? Si Nian will first guess what they will do next. If Si Nian really guesses it right, will the prime minister decide whether to use me or not?" (To be continued)
