Gao Xiuer is not a jealous woman, and Xie Muyu has reached this point without even getting a promise from Liu Ziqiu, which makes her admire her very much. In her heart, she has long regarded Xie Muyu as one of her sisters.
But Gao Xiuer didn't know that Liu Ziqiu didn't understand what Geng Tie meant. So after listening to Gao Xiuer's words, Liu Ziqiu still looked confused: "To untie the bell, you need a person to tie it? Then who is the person to tie the bell? Is it Wang Shichong?"
Although Liu Ziqiu didn't know that Xie Yun had intended to promise his daughter to him, he also didn't want that beautiful girl to live her whole life in the Qingdeng Ancient Buddha. Therefore, he also eagerly hoped to find a way to let Xie Muyu return to secular life.
But Gao Xiuer already laughed: "Wang Shichong is nothing, this bell tying person must be the Holy One."
Xie Zhiwu also said quickly: "Your Majesty, only you can persuade my little sister to change her mind."
Liu Ziqiu frowned slightly: "So, I have to go to Jiangnan in person."
Xie Yun hurriedly bowed and said: "Common people dare not work for the Holy Master, otherwise I, the Xie family, may be reviled by all the people. I hope Your Majesty will be careful!"
If the emperor could rule over the Xie family in the south of the Yangtze River, it would definitely be a great event for the Xie family's reputation. However, when Yang Guangxing was fond of traveling, public resentment boiled over. Xie Yun did not dare to let Liu Ziqiu do what Yang did because of his daughter.
A wide reversal.
Liu Ziqiu waved his hand and said: "I can be where I am today, thanks to the Xie family. I am not an ungrateful person, and I will definitely persuade Miss Xie to turn back. However, this matter is not urgent. I will discuss it with the officials.
Choose a day to go south to Moling."
After a pause, Liu Ziqiu changed the topic and suddenly said: "I have a good sister beside you, but she is a member of your Xie family. Since Mr. Xie is here today, I must invite him out to see her."
This time, even Gao Xiuer was caught off guard. She glared at Liu Ziqiu and had to order: "Herb, go and ask Mrs. Xie to come out and see her."
When they were in Xiyuan, Gao Xiuer, Xie Xiangwen, and Yuan Ziyan were the best sisters. Now that they meet again, they talk about everything. Gao Xiuer naturally understands what Xie Xiangwen and Yuan Ziyan are thinking, and Yuan Ziyan uses the stars as rhetoric.
, Gao Xiuer has three points of belief that the two of them and Liu Ziqiu should also be destined. Of course, Liu Ziqiu doesn't think so. He hopes that Xie Xiangwen can follow Xie Yun back to the south of the Yangtze River, so as not to hang around Gao Xiuer all the time.
It made him very uncomfortable.
After a while, two beautiful women came to the main hall and bowed to Liu Ziqiu Yingying: "I, my concubine, bow to your Majesty!"
Liu Ziqiu nodded and said with a smile: "Miss Xie, look who is here."
Xie Xiangwen was stunned for a moment, and then she noticed that there were three men in the corner of the hall. When she took a closer look, her eyes suddenly became moist: "My niece pays homage to my uncle."
Xie Yun was also full of surprise: "You are Xiang Wen! Okay, okay, as long as you are fine, I will be relieved."
Liu Ziqiu nodded and said, "Mr. Xie, I will leave Miss Xiangwen to you now."
When she first met her relatives, Xie Xiangwen's heart was full of excitement and joy, but after hearing Liu Ziqiu's words, her pretty face turned pale. She gritted her teeth and suddenly said loudly: "Your Majesty, I am willing to accompany you for life.
Your Majesty, please give me your blessing!"
Liu Ziqiu frowned: "Miss Xie, you are still young and have your own life..."
Xie Xiangwen was very determined: "Your Majesty, I have made my mind up, and I will never regret it! If there is really no room for me in the palace, I am willing to live in Xiyuan like Mrs. Qin Fengqin did!"
Gao Xiuer smiled and said: "Your Majesty, Xiang Wen, Zi Yan and I are like sisters, just let them stay."
In this case, Liu Ziqiu couldn't say anything else, so he had to look at Xie Yun. Xie Yun laughed and said, "It's up to the common people to make the decision, your Majesty."
Liu Ziqiu was helpless. When he looked up, he saw Xie Zhiwu's eyes always looking at Yuan Ziyan. He couldn't help but have an idea. He nodded with a smile and said: "Since the Queen has opened the golden mouth, it doesn't matter, you two will stay here for the time being."
In the palace. However, I promise you that you can leave at any time as long as you want." Then he said: "Xiu'er, it's rare for Mr. Xie to come to Dongdu. You, Miss Xie, and Miss Yuan all come out of Xiyuan.
Yes, why not be a guide tomorrow and take Mr. Xie and others to visit Xiyuan."
What girl is not pregnant? Both brothers Xie Zhiwen and Xie Zhiwu are young and handsome. It seems that as long as they stay in contact for a long time, one of them will be able to seduce Yuan Ziyan. In this way, there will only be one Xie Xiangwen left, which will be easy to get rid of in the future.
.
Gao Xiuer naturally agreed to Liu Ziqiu's request. Because her mother had a humiliating experience, Gao Xiuer was unwilling to disclose her identity, but in her heart, she had long regarded herself as the granddaughter of the Xie family, and Xie Yun was her uncle.
Uncle, why wouldn't Gao Xiuer not enjoy the opportunity to take his relatives to swim down to Xiyuan?
…
According to Liu Ziqiu's intention, today's Xiyuan is no longer an exclusive garden for the royal family, but has become the common wealth of people all over the world. However, although Liu Ziqiu announced that the Xiyuan can be opened to the public every five and ten days, so far, no one has dared to open it.
Come to Xiyuan. After all, this is the former royal garden. Anyone who involves the royal family must be more cautious. Although Liu Ziqiu has now agreed to open Xiyuan, who knows whether he will change his mind in the future, in case of investigation.
, that is a serious crime to punish the nine tribes.
Therefore, the first person to eat crabs in the world is a hero, and Xie Yun and his son have now become the first people to eat crabs. Of course, their reputation as heroes does not live up to their name, because they were in Xiyuan under the leadership of Queen Gao Xiuer.
, not really open.
The scenery of the Sixteenth Courtyard of Xiyuan remains the same, and the roads and courtyards are all clean. These are all due to the careful management of the only remaining principal wife, Qin Fengqin. Of course, the absence of a group of singing and dancing beauties in the Sixteenth Courtyard is a bit disappointing.
People were a little disappointed. However, although Xie Yun and his son were wealthy, they had never seen such a luxurious place. Even though there were many beauties missing, they were still deeply shocked and felt sincerely that Liu Ziqiu could give up pleasure.
admire.
Hearing that the empress came to visit the garden, Qin Fengqin hurriedly came out to greet her and said a blessing: "I respectfully welcome the empress. She may live a thousand years."
Gao Xiuer smiled and said: "Sister, please get up quickly. The protagonists here today are not me, but Mr. Xie and the two young masters. I would like to ask my sister to explain something to them."
This kind of thing is not routine, but Qin Fengqin didn't dare to obey Gao Xiuer's order, so she could only say: "Guys, please come with me."
Just as she raised her head, her eyes suddenly lit up. Especially Xie Zhiwen's gentleness and scholarly spirit made Qin Fengqin feel a little excited.
It doesn't matter that Xie Yun is someone who has come before. Xie Zhiwen and Xie Zhiwu are both young at heart. Suddenly seeing such peerless beauties as Qin Fengqin and Yuan Ziyan, they are a little distraught. However, Xie Zhiwen has been studying for a long time and is not as rough and polite as Xie Zhiwu.
He bowed his hands politely and said, "Thank you, madam."
Qin Fengqin smiled faintly and said: "Thank you, Mr. Gentleman, for being polite. I am just a small steward, but I cannot be called a wife."
In fact, Qin Fengqin was originally one of the sixteen ladies in charge of Xiyuan, but now the sixteen ladies are running away, leaving her alone to still guard Xiyuan. Of course, she chose to stay in Xiyuan, but she was unwilling to marry
An ordinary rough man, now meeting a handsome guy like Xie Zhiwen, naturally has to reveal his identity.
Xie Xiangwen was also the wife of the principal. After listening to Qin Fengqin's words, he understood her thoughts and couldn't help but smile: "Sister Fengqin, these two young masters are my younger sister's cousins. The most beautiful scenery in Xiyuan is the Five Great Lakes.
I have to trouble my sister to bring a phoenix boat over."
Qin Fengqin knew that Xie Xiangwen was with Gao Xiuer now, but she didn't know her identity, but she didn't dare to neglect her. She hurriedly said: "Sister has a destiny, but I dare not disobey it."
Gao Xiuer saw Qin Fengqin and Xie Zhiwen's expressions of affection, and was interested in bringing them together. She couldn't help but said: "Mr. Xie, the Sixteenth Courtyard of Xiyuan has its own unique scenery. If you don't have anything urgent, why not spend a few more days here."
Xie Yun came to Luoyang with the intention of deepening his relationship with Liu Ziqiu. He wished he could stay longer, so he naturally agreed.
…
While Gao Xiuer was taking the Xie family and his son around Xiyuan, Liu Ziqiu wanted to break a man in half and use him. Everyone wanted to be the emperor, but it wasn't until Liu Ziqiu actually sat on the throne that he realized that it was not easy to be the emperor.
Although Liu Ziqiu established a cabinet, several cabinet ministers did not dare to take power. Regardless of the size of everything, they still wrote memorials and sent them to Liu Ziqiu's Long Case. It would take three or four hours to read these memorials every day.
Not to mention the instructions. These memorials were secondary. More importantly, Liu Ziqiu did not have so many trustworthy officials.
Nowadays, the officials of the Han Dynasty are almost all former Sui officials who have remained in office. It can be said that the good and the bad are mixed. In order to add fresh blood to the official team of the Han Dynasty as soon as possible, Liu Ziqiu must hold the imperial examination in advance, because under the current conditions, the imperial examination is the best way to select talents.
Good way.
The imperial examination was actually Yang Guang's initiative. Of course, Yang Guang's imperial examination was just a prototype. Only dozens of talents were selected for each imperial examination. Liu Ziqiu hoped that all civil servants must be selected through the imperial examination. This is different from the imperial examination in Yang Guang's era.
There is an essential difference. It is conceivable that the imperial examination system implemented by Liu Ziqiu violated the interests of aristocratic families to a great extent. Because in the past, most officials came from various aristocratic families. Although there were many scholars among the children of aristocratic families, they could stand out through the imperial examination.
The chances are definitely greater than those of ordinary people from poor families, but sharing a piece of cake will eventually make these aristocratic families feel unhappy. How to balance the psychology of these aristocratic families is the first issue that Liu Ziqiu needs to consider.
