Female special forces soldiers in ancient times

After listening, Emperor Xia frowned slightly, pondered for a moment, and then waved his hand.

"I believe Li Zhong's words make sense; the imperial examination system is crucial to the foundation of the nation."

Changing the examiners abruptly might cause unforeseen problems; it's better to stick to the usual practice.

It would be best if Li Zhong continued to be in charge.

Emperor Xia would naturally side with the Li family; without the Li family, he would be nothing.

But his words immediately caused an uproar in the imperial court.

Wu family officials were the first to object, and Wu Xiong'an's face turned red.

"Your Majesty," Wu Lixin said emotionally, "Lord Wu Lixin is fully capable of serving as the chief examiner."

Why should Li Zhong still be in charge? This is detrimental to our dynasty's selection of talent through the imperial examination system!

The Wang family officials echoed their sentiments, and Prime Minister Wang stroked his beard.

He replied neither humbly nor arrogantly, "Your Majesty, reform of the imperial examination system is imperative."

Only by appointing new examiners can new vitality be injected into the imperial court.

Even the Ho family, which had maintained neutrality, now has members speaking out.

An official who appeared to be an elder of the He family bowed and said:

"Your Majesty, this matter concerns the fairness and impartiality of the imperial examinations, and the well-being of scholars throughout the land."

This should be carefully considered. Blindly adhering to the old practices would likely fail to win over the public.

Although the He family members were not as fiercely opposed as the Wu and Wang families,

However, it also expressed clear opposition.

Emperor Xia's expression darkened slightly. He had thought his decision would quell the conflict.

Unexpectedly, this caused an even bigger uproar.

"Gentlemen, my mind is made up. This matter will be settled for now."

Emperor Xia emphasized his words, attempting to suppress the dissent from the crowd.

However, this did not stop the chaos in the court.

Officials who support replacing the examiners are still arguing their case.

He spoke eloquently about everything from Wu Lixin's talent to the necessity of reforming the imperial examination system;

The Li family camp, which supports Li Zhong, is not to be outdone.

It emphasizes the importance of maintaining a stable imperial examination system.

The two sides went back and forth, neither willing to give in, and the entire court was in chaos.

Arguments and rebuttals rose and fell, and the scene briefly spiraled out of control.

......

Night fell, the moon had just peeked over the horizon, in a courtyard on East Street in Beijing...

Then laughter and cheerful chatter filled the air.

"Haha, Uncle, you did the right thing today. Under normal circumstances..."

We should remain neutral, but occasionally we should get involved.

He Yalan smiled slightly and nodded in approval.

He Chong stopped smiling and waved his hand, "Yalan,"

These are all minor matters. I know how to handle affairs of the court, so you can rest assured.

By the way, now that Emperor Xiahe has taken over the servants and maids here...

"If you all withdraw, I will send a group of people to serve you tomorrow."

"Haha, thank you for your kindness, Uncle, but there's no need for that!"

"After a while, Li Tingting will send someone to take care of my child and me."

The eldest prince looked at He Yalan with disbelief and curiosity.

"Mother, how could that be! How could Li Tingting be so kind?"

"Haha, she will not only send people to serve us, but she will also come to see us in person."

The eldest prince wanted to ask more questions, but He Yalan stopped him with a gesture.

So they didn't ask any further questions.

"By the way, Uncle, how are the arrangements going with the Third Prince?"

"Oh, someone reported yesterday that they have already started."

He Yalan smiled gently after hearing He Chong's reply.

"Okay, that's good! But this doesn't seem to keep Li Tingting busy enough."

Let's add a little more to it! I'll make arrangements later.

"Yalan, do you mean you want to keep her too busy to manage the harem?"

He Chong asked, puzzled.

But He Yalan laughed and said, "That won't do."

I can't wait for her to come back.

"Then what do you mean?"

"What I mean is, I'm worried that the fire between her and the Wang and Wu families wasn't big enough."

So, I'll add a little something extra for them.

After He Yalan finished speaking, a sly glint appeared in her eyes.

"Alright, since that's the case, it's getting late, I'll head back now."

"Yes, be careful on the road. My son, go and see your uncle off."

He Chong nodded to He Yalan, and then left with the First Prince.

After the two left, she got up, walked out of the living room, and crossed a corridor.

They entered a servant's room.

There were five people in the room, all of whom were highly skilled martial arts masters carefully trained by He Yalan.

One of them had a particularly striking physique.

He was about 1.85 meters tall, with broad shoulders and a thick back, and was incredibly strong.

The moment he stood up, he was like a moving mountain.

He exuded a powerful aura of pressure; just standing there,

It makes you feel as if there is an invisible force squeezing the surrounding air.

His face was stern, with hard lines.

His eyes, beneath thick eyebrows, were like cold stars, exuding a chilling sharpness.

The other four were equally impressive.

Although they weren't as burly as him, each of them had eyes as sharp as an eagle's.

Their figures were agile, and every move they made carried the skill and efficiency unique to martial artists.

Of the four, one was rather thin.

But there was a glint in his eyes, as if he could see right through people's hearts;

There was also a square-faced man with a full beard, giving him a rugged and bold appearance.

The remaining two were a man with delicate features, yet exuding a restrained ruthlessness.

The other one had dark skin and taut muscles, like a cheetah ready to pounce at any moment.

When they saw He Yalan arrive, they all got out of bed.

They knelt down with a thud and shouted in unison, "Greetings, Your Majesty!"

The voices were clear and loud, echoing in the small room.

He Yalan slightly raised her hand, gesturing for them to stand up.

His gaze swept over the five people one by one.

A satisfied smile curved his lips: "Get up!"

Tomorrow I'll take some people to Pingbei Prefecture to make things difficult for Li Tingting.

All that's needed is to set fire to the Wang and Wu families, and the job will be done.

"It would be best if we could kill Li Tingting."

The burly man stepped forward, clasped his hands in a fist salute, and said:

"Your Majesty, rest assured! We will certainly complete our mission."

.....

The next morning, after entering the palace, Madam Liang rushed to Yonghua Palace in a panic.

A newly arrived guard quickly stepped forward to stop him.

"Madam, please wait! May I check your identification badge?"

"Guards, slap him twenty times!"

Madam Liang glared angrily at him, and after giving her instructions, she hurriedly went inside.

The talkative guard was then apprehended by Madam Liang's attendants.

He held her down tightly and kept slapping her.

After the guard finished being beaten, the other guards covered their mouths and chuckled.

"You deserve it! Do you even know who she is?"

"Who is it? How was I supposed to know I'd be so unlucky?"

The guard looked mournful, with tears welling up in his eyes.

"Haha, she's the third wife of the Li family, and the cousin of Consort Hui."

The current empress is her niece; you should be grateful you're still alive.

In the future, whatever you do, never try to be clever.

Meanwhile, Madam Liang had already arrived at Consort Hui's room.

"Cousin, waah~ Cousin, waah~"

Upon seeing Madam Liang, Consort Hui immediately threw herself into her arms and burst into tears.

Madam Liang's eyes were also red, and she held Consort Hui tightly.

"Cousin, don't cry, I know you've suffered!"
