The imperial concubine is charming and charming, and only seeks power and wealth

No.

Given such great authority, there must be corresponding crises.

If it weren't for the danger, why would they need to recruit a young official like him?

...women serving as officials.

Feng Shu's expression kept changing.

"I dare not obey your order?" Qi Junyi lowered his eyes and said calmly, "If you don't want to wade into this muddy water, I won't force you."

"No!" Feng Shu knelt on the ground and kowtowed, "I am so grateful for the kindness of Your Majesty and Your Majesty. I am so happy that I forgot to react."

With danger comes opportunity.

Feng Shu was not stupid, but he immediately guessed the danger he was about to face.

But at the same time, he also knew that being valued so highly by those in power was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Isn't it just about elevating the status of women all over the world, letting them step out of the backyard, and finally become officials in the court?

If he could contribute to this matter, his name would definitely be recorded in history books.

Even if he unfortunately fails, as long as His Majesty's policy is successful, he will surely be treated well in history books as one of those who went to die.

No matter what, their names will go down in history.

Thinking of this, Feng Shu's blood almost boiled. "I obey your orders and report your wishes on the Golden Terrace. I will support Yulong and die for you. I will never let you down, Your Majesty, or the Empress."

He is just a scholar who has studied hard for more than ten years. What is it for?

Isn’t it just about leaving your name in history?

"Okay!" Qi Junyi personally helped him up and said with a smile, "I believe in your ability."

Xie Anning on the other side witnessed the whole scene with a hopeful look on his face.

Before, she was trapped in the inner palace, interacting with the ladies of various families all day long. She would not be allowed to see things like the emperor bestowing titles on his ministers.

And now, she is also an inner court official...

Also named by the emperor to stay...

Taking her expression into his eyes, Jiang Lingyue smiled and said, "Aunt Xie's rank is already quite high. If you also want to leave Beijing for work, I'll see you next year."

Starting from next year, all the officials in the inner court will be busy.

I can't stay idle even if I want to.

Whether you can achieve great success or gradually decline depends on your personal ability.

The first college has been built, and the sites for the second and third have been identified.

The person to be sent has not yet been finalized.

Such matters involve a wide range of people, and local officials and powerful gentry will all be obstacles.

If the situation is extreme, the imperial envoy sent out may really be killed.

According to Jiang Lingyue's plan, he would have to be accompanied by a military officer.

It's not just Xie Anning, but also Feng Shu, and even more pioneers who followed were the same.

Once they leave Beijing, one will be a civil official and the other a military official, and they will take care of each other.

...The same thing, we are short of people.

After receiving her promise, Xie An Ning smiled and said, "Then I will wait."

As a daughter of a general, if she wants to support the Xie family, there is no reason for her to be afraid of anything.

Jiang Lingyue likes her aunt's temperament very much.

Be decisive and don't drag your feet no matter what you do.

She wanted to ask that 'Master Shi', but considering so many people were present, she smiled and said, "It's the New Year's Eve palace banquet. Aunt Xie, please come early. I have something private to discuss with you."

Xie Anning naturally agreed.

At this moment, neither of them had expected that they would not be able to meet at the New Year's Eve palace banquet.

The next afternoon, on the 29th day of the twelfth lunar month, which was the day before New Year's Eve, Xie's mansion was surrounded by soldiers and officers.

The two people leading the troops were Chen Ziwei and Ishihara Qing.

Xie Anning, who got the news, walked out the door and saw them. His face turned pale and he suddenly had an epiphany.

Wu Yong has a problem.

Wu Yong actually has a problem.

He was involved in the Crazy Horse case.

"Thank you, Madam. I'm sorry." Chen Ziyi dismounted and walked up to her with his slender figure. He nodded slightly and said, "Please, and everyone in your house, come with us."

The fact that he was able to bring troops to arrest people obviously meant that he had solid evidence, and the Xie family must be involved in the case.

Facing a criminal who was definitely confirmed to be guilty, this Dali Temple Minister, who was highly praised by the court and the public, was surprisingly gentle and polite.

Behind him, Ishihara Kyo, who was several steps behind him, did not look like the Chief of the Criminal Department who was about to arrest a suspect and solve the case.

His face was paler than Xie An Ning's, and his lips were trembling. He seemed to want to say something, but he couldn't because of the extreme surge of emotions.

Chen Ziwei raised his hand slightly, and soldiers immediately stepped forward. Just as they were about to escort the man away, Ishihara Qing finally reacted and strode forward, "Stop!"

He stretched out his arms to protect his beloved, "Don't be afraid. It was Wu Yong who committed the crime. As long as you are unaware of it, the Imperial Concubine will plead for you given your relationship with her. His Majesty will show leniency."

His voice was hoarse and full of clearly audible tremolos.

She kept telling her not to be afraid, but it was clearly him that she was most afraid of.

Realizing what this person was doing, Xie Anning's panic was calmed, but he gradually became stunned.

In the past year since the imperial concubine entered the palace, from the Jiang family to the Shen family, and then to the Zhao family which was raided some time ago, all the families that were well-informed knew why their benevolent and generous Majesty had been killing people so many times.

It is no secret that the imperial concubine is the emperor's Achilles' heel.

To put it bluntly, the imperial concubine's danger this time is no different from regicide.

Regicide is a serious crime punishable by the death of nine generations of the family.

Wu Yong has been in the Xie family for more than ten years. He is the leader of the Xie family's guards and the steward of the Xie Mansion. If he is really involved, Her Majesty would not care whether her master knows about it or not.

The crime of regicide does not require evidence.

It is better to kill someone accidentally than to let him go.

And he, in front of many subordinates and colleagues, protected a suspect who was suspected of murdering the imperial concubine. At the latest, after one hour, the news would be reported to the palace and reached the ears of the emperor.

Doesn’t he want to be an official anymore?

Even if you don't want a future anymore, aren't you afraid of bringing trouble to your family?

Xie Anning couldn't help but be shocked. She suppressed the urge in her heart and pushed his arm, "Let me go."

Ishihara Qing released his arm, carefully supported her, and said to Chen Ziyu, "The charges have not yet been determined, and she is still a female official in the inner court. Can the shackles be removed?"

She will be escorted to the Dali Temple prison and brought to trial after New Year's Eve.

It is true that he has not been convicted yet and his official position is still valid.

Chen Ziyu agreed.
