When Sun Qingmu heard this, the loneliness in his eyes flashed away. It turned out to be because of a few pieces of cloth.
Sun Qingmu immediately gathered herself and shook her sleeves with a calm expression: "I know, I said it was summer clothes, so I made two sets." But in her heart, she couldn't help but think that since the young master Ziche came, she had not had any clothes for nearly two months.
Summoning the three palace attendants to go to bed, the movements of shaking sleeves in his hands gradually became lighter. Finally, before Eunuch Chi could walk out of the room, he asked, "How is your emperor doing lately?"
Eunuch Xiaochi's eyes lit up for a moment when he heard this, and then immediately returned to normal. He stood with his hands lowered and shivered. Knowing that the young master was asking about the private affairs of the harem, after hesitating for a while, he cautiously gritted his teeth and said respectfully: "Master, the emperor's condition should be...
It's getting better, I've been taking medicine less recently..."
Sun Qingmu breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good..."
"But..." Xiaochizi raised his eyes hesitantly and then lowered them.[
"If you have anything to say, say it."
"Yes, the third young master Zi Che suddenly came back, and happened to bump into the young master Zi Che who was in the study room. Then for some reason, the two young masters Zi Che came out of the study room one after another, their faces changed.
It doesn’t look good…” Xiao Chizi finished speaking and nervously waited for his master’s reaction.
Sun Qingmu frowned slightly, paused for a moment and then regained his composure: "Maybe there is something wrong with the Academy of Sciences... You go down..." He thought about the fold line of his sleeves, what could happen to these two people who have always been in harmony with each other?
Seeing that his master didn't give any orders, Xiaochizi guessed that he didn't need to inquire by himself, so he couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. He wanted to ask his master if he wanted to go to the emperor's palace to have a look. The emperor hadn't been here for a long time, and now there were all kinds of rumors in the palace. Mr. Che
The master also became more and more respectful. If the young master Ziche made a male queen, would he have a serious master above his head?
Xiaochizi was a little anxious when he thought of this, but seeing the way his master was aware of it, he could only retreat lonely. How come none of the three of them were anxious!
Sun Qingmu wanted to ask, but what's his position? These days, the three palaces are busy and he is even busier. The emperor suddenly doesn't care about court affairs, and all major and minor affairs are summarized in the Ministry of Revenue. Xin Shangshu can make mistakes, but he has no position.
Sun Qingmu gathered his energy and sent people to find Shen Fei. Shen Fei was becoming more and more unsafe recently.
…
Zhou Tian was lying on the yellow wood bed in Qionglin Palace. He had long heard that Qionglin Palace was not only extravagant and beautiful, but also good at elegance. Since Se Se moved in, the elegance has become even better than usual.
Under the beams inlaid with gold carvings, pens, inks, paper and inkstones were placed neatly under the bed not far away. The silk-dyed silk was dotted with round beads. There were paintings on the wall that she couldn't name, and simple arrangements.
But the utensils did not reveal their elegance. They were very similar to the feeling of Sesel. She couldn't help but feel comfortable. It was so clean here: "Sese."
Yi Se put down the work at hand and looked at her with a smile: "Your Majesty?"
Zhou Tian looked at the rolling patterns on the top of the bed: "Let the imperial doctor come and take a look at it for you."
When Song Yise heard this, the golden thimble in her hand trembled: "Your Majesty..." She held back her tears of joy and knelt down as she wiped her tears gratefully: "I thank you, Your Majesty for your grace."
…
This morning, the golden flag of the palace was waving, and the imperial guards were on guard; this morning, the courtiers were dressed in military uniforms, with arrogant expressions; today, there were several new faces in the morning court, with low eyebrows and submissive eyes.
When he was named on the gold medal list, he dominated the list. He has been a student for sixty years, but he rarely spoke in dialect.
This road is quite difficult. The old man is in his sixtieth year and can be considered as high-spirited as he is in his thirties. Unfortunately, all the scholars who passed the imperial examination this year met the sons of various ministers who have both knowledge and status. It was really a tragedy that it rained for several days overnight.
, I just hope that after joining the top three, I can get an official position to develop my talents, so as to comfort myself after many years of coldness.
The rookie followed the ministers all the way, seeing the majestic Yanguo palace and the majestic imperial guard, which were different from the frightening murderous intentions in the legend, and did not reveal the majesty of the Tianjia.
Duan Jingjin stood with lowered eyebrows among the candidates participating in the imperial examination. Even in his calm heart, he lamented the changes in the palace over the years. Under the bright sky, the palace was bright and solemn, and Duan Jingjin couldn't help but respect the emperor who had not yet appeared.[
Xin Shu lowered his head and smiled kindly with the old scholar beside him, and whispered: "Don't be nervous, the emperor's grace is so great."
Zhang Yihan stood respectfully in the corner, looking at the ministers in front of him who were whispering or talking but not messing up the rules. He was shocked by that person's status in the hearts of the ministers.
Among the newcomers in the Hou De Hall, only one person has a seat. He is different from the other students in black and purple clothes. Instead, he is wearing a white robe, holding a string of white beads in his hand, his eyes are as pure as a lake, and his expression is as natural as a reef.
He was talking to Prime Minister Song who came over. On the contrary, Prime Minister Song was as respectful and humble as Mr. Chujian's students.
The man in white robe sometimes frowned and sometimes shook his head. Finally, Prime Minister Song sighed and left with his expression still respectful.
A quarter of an hour later, Eunuch Lu walked out quickly, swept the dust with his whisk, and sang to the court
"Long live my emperor, long live the emperor!" The old minister stood up in accordance with his official position, and the deep and solemn words of kneeling seemed particularly solemn today.
"Long live my emperor, long live the emperor!" The newlyweds stood in order, and their respectful kneeling sounds were trembling with a little awe.
Zhou Tian raised his head slightly when he heard the words, with a calm expression. He held a few coupons in his hand as usual, and leaned leisurely on the dragon chair. He was not more polite because of the new face: "Get up."
"Long live my emperor, thank you for your grace." The ministers stood up, and each minister stood solemnly, with his back straightened, as if he would lose the dignity of an official if he did not stand like this.
Zhou Tian looked at their upward momentum like bamboos and couldn't help but shake his head and laugh, and said seriously: "You are all very knowledgeable people. You can stand out from tens of thousands of students. Seeing that you are higher than ordinary people, I
I am deeply pleased to see you all here. After the dynasty is over, a banquet will be held in the Xingxing Garden to honor the virtues of all of you and to show the blessings of Yan Country."
"Long live my emperor, long live the emperor." The old ministers suddenly knelt down before the newcomers, frightening the newcomers who had not yet had time to express their gratitude.
Zhou Tian looked at the newcomer who was suddenly stunned but immediately recovered and hurriedly thanked him. He secretly felt that the old guy had the same hatred for "killing".
The top three of the Spring Palace had to stay at the Jiying Palace, and the astrology banquet later was where they would show off their skills. Zhou Tian withdrew his eyes from them and started to deal with the book in his hand.
In the official assessment report, Zhou Tian moved four officials and three court officials; only one person, Mu Feiyan, was named by the external officials. When Zhou Tian's finger pointed at the three words on the report, he thought about it for a second and then said:
: "That's right." He was promoted to the position of Minister Zuo of the Ministry of Civil Affairs.
The lax control of the Su Canal and the collapse of the dams due to floods in the two rivers were suspected of being used by the Su Canal for personal gain. Zhou Tian distributed the investigated data and finally decided on the death penalty for the eighteen princes and those who were negligent in the process of communicating the disaster.
The salary of thirty-six people was suspended for three months, and it was over.
The military department's talk was not a cliché. This time, it finally gained insights and gave the results of the talks. Zhou Tian was deeply pleased and approved the proposal to rectify the empty pay. He appointed Ouyang Niyu as a concurrent inspection envoy to go to the local areas to conduct strict inspections.
The morning ended peacefully with a hint of opposition. Zhou Tian went first, and an hour later he would appear in the Astrology Garden as usual.
After the emperor left, the ministers immediately raised their arrogant tails, contrary to their previous obedience. Even if they did not display their witty words and superior wisdom throughout the morning, in the eyes of the newcomers who were waiting to show their enthusiasm, they were still in control.
The old minister in the temple scenery.
The ministers walked towards their favorite newcomers with smiles on their faces. They needed many direct connections and the newcomers who were eager to integrate, immediately formed a harmonious beauty, and walked towards the Astrology Garden while talking and laughing.
The veterans explained sympathetically to the newcomers: "This astrology garden was newly built by the emperor's order to entertain envoys from all countries. It has only been opened once this year, and this is the second time. It shows the emperor's love for everyone, haha
.”
All the newcomers were hurriedly humble and said frankly that the Emperor's grace was "immense".
Some people couldn't help but curiously look at the royal scroll in the hands of the ministers, eager to know what was written on it. However, one person did not say a word about Su Shuiyuan's possible "favoritism" that caused the spring floods, and even held people accountable.
.[
This kind of non-questioning is not due to the majesty of the emperor, but just as if nothing is wrong.
It's a pity that their qualifications are still young, and the veterans don't say anything. They don't dare to ask more questions. They can only suppress their cat's paw-like curiosity in their hearts, and they will definitely ask when they are in the same court with them one day.
Zhang Yihan had already been taken by Zhang Tingdao. Instead of pulling his son towards his small group, he shamelessly walked towards Sun Qingmu who was alone. Before anyone arrived, he smiled: "Master Sun, I heard it's you.
Congratulations to the Governor Mu who has been promoted. This is Quanzi, Yihan, and Yihan has met Sun Shilang."
Zhang Yihan had met Sun Qingmu, the person who asked the emperor to whisper that day. He suddenly had a strange feeling, indescribably weird: "Yihan has met Sun Shilang." He must be the most high-spirited person at their age.
Sun Qingmu couldn't hide anymore. He thought no one would pay attention to him. He had already chosen a path to go ahead and go there when the banquet started. Their identities were too sensitive to accept greetings here, under the melons and plums, but unexpectedly, it was still a step too late. Sun Qingmu smiled.
Gong Shou: "I don't dare to take it seriously. Mr. Zhang has great literary talent and can discuss the truth with the emperor. He should be an example for Sun to learn from."
Zhang Tingdao and You Rongyan. Last year, his son had a very happy chat with the emperor, which made him proud for a long time. If it weren't for Sun Qingmu, he would have been so proud: How about it? Zhang Tingdao, who was born in Shangjia, also raised a child with both political integrity and talent.
It is possible that the candidates will be in the top three this year.
Zhang Tingdao could only say humbly at this time: "Master Sun, you are polite, you are polite. The dog is too young to deserve such praise from an adult, please don't."
"Shilang Sun, so you are here!" Xin Cheng walked over generously and looked at Sun Qingmu lovingly like an elder, with a kind smile in his eyes. Behind him was his beloved son, Xin Shu.
Xin Cheng ignored Zhang Tingdao and Zhang Yihan, and returned Xin Shu to Sun Qingmu with an undiminished smile: "Qingmu, help uncle look after Xin Shu and don't let him run around without understanding. This is not the case in the palace.
We can't tolerate his arrogance outside. I have something to discuss with your father, so you can help me keep an eye on him." Xin Cheng didn't wait for Sun Qingmu to reply, but directly grabbed the old friend who was walking towards him and walked away with a big smile.
Sun Qingmu could only stop what he wanted to say and looked at Xin Shu beside him with a smile: "Mr. Xin."
Xin Shu was embarrassed. He didn't expect that as a father, he could do such a thing. He thought... thought... At this moment, he could only bite the bullet and said respectfully: "I'm sorry to bother you, Mr. Sun." He wanted to make up for it with a few words.
, saying that he could join his colleagues, but thinking that it would be stingy, he could only return the favor to Sun Qingmu in embarrassment.
Because of this, Xin Shu couldn't help but think more highly of Sun Qingmu. As a father and he now recognized Xin Yiren, he was so comfortable with him, and he actually let himself be taken care of by Sun Qingmu under the pressure of his elder status. This shows that Sun Qingmu's heart was in the emperor's heart.
status.
Sun Qingmu was worried that Xin Shu was overthinking, so he calmed down the atmosphere and said with a smile: "Speaking of which, we have met before. At that time, General Ouyang said that you have great talent, but your mind is not on official career. Now you and I are expected to be officials in the same dynasty. In fact,
It’s a blessing.”
Xin Shu's smile became even more awkward because he didn't know how to proceed. He was ashamed to say that they were all about the same age, and the elders in the family were close friends and had contacts with each other. Although Sun Qingmu was the best among his peers at that time, he was only the best.
There has been little news about him since he withdrew from this group years ago. Now that we meet again, it is a different situation.
Xin Shu couldn't help but feel a bit bitter in his heart. Faced with his former friend who controlled half of the Yan Kingdom, he couldn't help but feel ashamed. Now he was on the same level as his father, had quelled too many turmoils with the emperor, and had conspired to fight difficult battles.
Years passed, and it was only after the country was peaceful and the people were at peace that he stood in the tranquility made of the blood of everyone and became an official.
Xin Shu felt even more ashamed. How could he dare to talk and laugh freely in front of Sun Qingmu? His father, too, left him here without saying a word to him. Did he look like a powerful person? Fortunately, his father used to say that he understood him.
Xin Shunai complained and said respectfully: "Master Sun, please be polite. General Ouyang and Master Sun are our role models. We have met Master Zhang and Mr. Zhang."
Both parties duly accepted the courtesy.
Zhang Tingdao secretly scolded Xin Cheng, the old fox, for using the excuse he had thought up. If he now said that he would entrust his son to Sun Qingmu, wouldn't it be obvious that he was very selfish, but he would not be willing to give up.
So after saying the polite words, Zhang Tingdao did not leave, but continued talking nonsense.
How could Xin Shu fail to see the hidden meaning of the richest man in the capital? He couldn't help but look at Zhang Yihan on the side, and found that Zhang Yihan also had a wry smile on his face. He felt that he felt the same for a moment. Hey, Zhang Yihan is probably better than himself.
It was even more uncomfortable. No matter what, Zhang Tingdao tried to lower his face to gain opportunities for him, but he couldn't refute his father's wishes, otherwise it would be unfilial.
While Sun Qingmu was talking, his pace had already deviated from the road to the Astrology Garden. Even so, he found that there were still people following him around. He could only reluctantly respond to Zhang Tingdao's inner thoughts: "Master Zhang, you are so polite. It turns out that Mr. Zhang is proficient in tea art. The emperor just said
I just received a batch of new tea. I wonder if Mr. Zhang and Mr. Zhang can reward me with a favor. Let's go to Chengqian Palace to sit together."
Zhang Tingdao suddenly smiled with a ginger face, his smile was like a crooked orange peel, wrapping himself sweetly: "Yi Han, if you don't thank Master Sun, I won't go. I still have something to do. You young people can talk, you can talk."
He said that he was like a gambler who was in a hurry to sell his daughter to pay off his gambling debts. He eagerly handed his son to Sun Qingmu and left quickly.
