Returning to the palace, there were no other concubines except the queen's people. Concubine Jin bowed to the queen, and the queen had someone help her up midway.
"I haven't seen you every day, and I feel that you have lost some weight. Are you in good health?" The queen looked at Concubine Jin who was sitting down and said with a smile.
"Thank you, Queen, for your concern. I am fine. It is my fault that I have made you worried by eating less." Concubine Jin leaned over and said with a smile.
The queen smiled. The emperor did not tell the matter directly, but the queen has the power of the harem. It can be said that as long as she is willing, everyone in the palace will know every move.
Over the years, the Queen gradually came to know that Concubine Jin was not so much the Emperor's concubine as the Emperor's internal minister, and she had unfathomable control over the Curse and Forbidden Division.
??This Concubine Jin has a respectful attitude and sufficient qualifications. The Queen has always looked at her with other eyes. At this time, the Queen is also very satisfied with Concubine Jin's attitude.
"Sister, I will leave you to speak this time. I have something to ask my sister for help." The queen said with a smile.
Hearing this, Concubine Jin quickly gathered her clothes and bowed, saying, "Yes." Then she said, "Please give me the Queen's instructions."
"Xiyuan wants my sister to come over and take a look at how the work is being done. It's a royal garden there, and I'm not very reassured by outsiders looking at it." The queen said, with a glimmer of light in her eyes.
Xiyuan? Hearing this name, Concubine Jin felt Xun En in her heart. This was the royal summer garden. It was very common and very unconventional for the Queen to want her to go and take a look.
The queen drank tea and took in Concubine Jin's expression in her eyes.
"Let Concubine Jin go, it's Concubine Jin's difference."
The palace is strictly forbidden. Except for the Queen Mother, all other concubines must abide by the rules. Even the Queen, who has great power, has many things that cannot be violated.
Concubine Jin is special, not to mention anything else, it is very obvious just because she is forbidden to enter and leave the palace.
?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Even for the higher-ranking concubines, their relatives are outsiders, and they need the Queen's approval to enter the palace.
And these concubines were not allowed to leave the palace. Unless the emperor issued an order and allowed them to go to visit relatives, or go on royal hunting or summer vacation, they would basically have to live in this harem for the rest of their lives.
Even the queen herself has very strict rules when it comes to her comings and goings, and she cannot do whatever she wants.
Only Concubine Jin could enter and leave the palace at will. The queen was shocked at first, but did not ask any more questions. She just checked the records carefully and found that every time she entered, there were servants, guards, and the Thirteenth Division involved. This was obviously obtained. This can only be done with the emperor's permission.
The queen is in charge of the harem and is particularly keen on things that go beyond the ordinary. This is why she brought up this matter when Concubine Jin paid a visit.
Concubine Jin pondered for a moment, accepted the promise, and said, "Yes!"
This was what she was supposed to do. The feng shui and structure of the royal garden were presided over by her. By the way, she complied with the Queen's decree. There was nothing to refuse. And although they didn't say it, the emperor and Concubine Jin did not deliberately avoid it. It means, so it is accepted.
After saying goodbye, I went out through a certain channel.
"Empress, I heard that Concubine Jin has taken someone out of the palace." Not long after Concubine Jin left, a female official came to the Queen and whispered.
Hearing this, the queen nodded: "In that case, just wait for the result."
Seeing the female officer exiting, Song Xinyou, who was sitting in the upper seat in the hall, was deep in thought. Although she was deep in thought, she still sat upright, her black hair hanging down, with a smile, and her eyes were soft and then lightened. She was indeed gradually gaining the nobility of a mother who cared about the world.
The Queen had very complicated feelings about Concubine Jin, who had always received special treatment.
She is young and beautiful, has the favor of the emperor, and has friendship with the queen mother. Whoever becomes this queen will also be wary.
But Tang San made the queen relax a little.
First of all, Concubine Jin did not have the support of her clan. When I first heard that this woman was also from an official family, she was the daughter of an official family. However, she was separated from her family and has not been found until now. She is considered an orphan. Such a concubine, in fact, The foundation is a bit thin.
And the most important thing is that Concubine Jin has no heirs. The emperor's favor is only for a moment, and the emperor's favor is only for one person and one generation. How can it depend on heirs in the future?
Although Concubine Jin has some favors from the emperor, she has no heirs. This is like a flower without roots. No matter how beautiful it blooms, it will never bear fruit and will not become famous.
In the end, the queen herself has enough chips.
"My own descendants are trusted and valued by the emperor, I have a legitimate son who is valued by the emperor, I also have the emperor's favor, and I have the emperor's respect. These are unmatched by other concubines.
As an emperor, especially the founder of the country, he often has no choice but to do it himself. As long as he can put the queen first and value his legitimate son, this is enough for Song Xinyou, the queen. .
The only thing that made her a little uneasy was the emperor's delay in establishing the Taipiao Astronomy Network.
"Although the world has been settled for the first time and the emperor is only twenty-five years old, it is still a bit premature. The emperor also pays attention to other heirs. If it delays for a few more years, there may not be other heirs to divide the emperor's ghosts."
The Song family is a big family in Shu, but it is still not ranked first among all the families in the world. And among the new concubines in the harem, which one is not from everyone?
¡°If they all have children
Song Xinyou couldn't help but sigh when she thought of this, with a hint of coldness in her eyes.
Imperial study room
As the Prime Minister, Yu Zhao is speaking: "Your Majesty, each department has appointed people, but last year, half of the world was conquered at once, and it is difficult to find officials in this county."
"This matter was discussed during the last court meeting." Wang Hongyi smiled: "This dynasty has been established, but the speed behind it is still too fast, and the foundation is not yet solid",
Yu Zhao was thoughtful, his eyes flashed and he smiled, and said: "Your Majesty, now the appointment is to promote people from the original counties and check the good use of demoted officials, but this is ultimately a temporary measure. Is it right? Those who are promoted in the imperial examination will be promoted from those who are promoted to Jinshi.¡±
"No, it's just a temporary expediency. The appointment of officials through the imperial examination is my national affairs. I want to restore the ancient rural officials and three officials. All candidates for the imperial examination must pass this test. What I want is not an official who can talk, but an official who can talk. A practical officer who rises from the countryside and counties."
"This is state affairs and cannot be violated. You are the prime minister. You are different from others. I will tell you directly. Anyone who shakes my state affairs will not be able to serve as a monarch or minister, and the credit and affection will be lost. I will not hesitate to kill!" Wang Hongyi said quietly afterwards! With.
This kind of silence immediately gave Yu Zhao a chill in his heart. He smiled and said, "Yes, this is a national ceremony for judging talents. Since the emperor has made a decision, we all know what to do."
"I trust the minister, and the cabinet I trust." Wang Hongyi said with a smile: "You are the first prime minister, and this is the first cabinet. The tasks I have given are both simple and complex. During the five-year term, you will be the first prime minister." The various official structures, top and bottom, systems and rules have all been clarified. If we have this, we will make great contributions to the country."
After hearing this, Yu Zhao could not sit still, stood up and bowed: "I understand."
"Get up, I still have two things to do. The first is to discuss the rewards for meritorious ministers. I plan to spend one or two years to complete this matter. There is no need to be too hasty. After the initial discussion is out, let me read it."
After saying some more words, the prime minister withdrew.
Wang Hongyi breathed a sigh of relief, looked at the notes on the imperial case, finally put the imperial pen down and stood up.
Seeing that the emperor looked a little tired, the chamberlain said: "Your Majesty, can you make some refreshing soup for him?"
¡°It¡¯s just that I¡¯m a little bored sitting there, so I¡¯ll just take a walk.¡± Wang Hongyi said and got into the car.
In January, the weather is a bit cold.
The weather on this day was very good, the sun was shining brightly, and spring had just begun. Wang Hongyi sat on the table and breathed the air outside. After a while, the slightly boring feeling went away.
In two months, the scenery in the palace will be good. It will be green and colorful, and the garden will be colorful with butterflies flying in it. The scenery is very beautiful.
For the emperor who focused on government affairs, this thought passed in the blink of an eye.
After going to the back, I went to see the Queen Mother first. After staying in the Queen's Palace for a while, I left the Queen's Palace and ordered people to go straight to Concubine Jin.
Wang Hongyi was sitting on the throne thinking about things.
A note came up just now. Knowing that the queen sent Concubine Jin to Xiyuan, he remembered that the world was finally settled, and there were still some things that needed to be unified.
Nine out of ten Xiyuan buildings are built without exception and must be good in all aspects.
Before the construction, there were many things to do, but just to be on the safe side, after the repairs were completed, I had to let Concubine Jin take a look.
I heard from the queen that Concubine Jin had reported to her that everything was fine in Xiyuan and that it could be used as a summer vacation for the royal family only.
Being in the royal family, many times he has no freedom. Wang Hongyi is not stingy with his own people. If possible, he is also willing to give the harem one more place to have fun.
"Empress!" In Concubine Jin's palace, Tao Zhu came forward and saw the empress sitting. She stepped forward and said, "It's getting late. Please go and prepare lunch."
Concubine Jin said calmly: "Go and prepare according to yesterday's dishes.""No." Taozhu retreated silently and ordered preparations.
When Wang Hongyi arrived, Concubine Jin had just finished her lunch and had her things removed, when she heard reports from the palace that the emperor was here.
"Wang Hongyi comes here often. After coming in, he walks directly inside."
After Concubine Jin got the news, she came out with the palace servants to greet her. She saw Su'er Yingying, who was wearing a light pink skirt and bowed down: "I am a long way from greeting you, please forgive me."
Wang Hongyi walked over, took Concubine Jin's hand, and said with a smile: "I didn't say hello to my concubine when I came here. What's the crime? You shared my worries. Not only is it not guilty, but you also have merit."
Concubine Jin lowered her head slightly when she heard this: "This is my duty as a concubine.
"This is not a place to talk. Aifei Piao took Wang Hongyi's hand and held Concubine Jin's hand and walked slowly inside. The palace servants following behind could not help but slow down a little.
Although Concubine Jin is not a queen or a noble concubine, her status in the palace is not low. The palace she lives in is well decorated, but it is not magnificent and has a somewhat cold atmosphere.
Wang Hongyi has long been accustomed to the layout here and doesn't mind the coldness here. He sat inside and waited for her to report. (To be continued
