Mrs. Anyuanhou is just a woman, even if she is the first-rank Mrs. Duke, she is an insignificant woman to the court.The influence she brought to Daqi was nothing more than the man behind her, her husband, the younger brother of the concubine Xian who was closest to the queen, Li Shiyuan, Marquis of Anyuan.

Li Shiyuan, as the commander-in-chief of the Northwest, has been far away in the Northwest so far, and his body is tied with the victory of the Northwest Road. Moreover, Da Qi has spent more than a year in the Northwest, spending a lot of money.If it fails, starting from His Majesty, everyone's faces will not be good.The imperial court does not allow failure, so this is the death of Mrs. Anyuanhou, which is a bit subtle.

It's just that Marquis Anyuan's wife has been bedridden with weakness for many years, everyone knows this.

It is not very surprising that a person lingering on his last breath died. The news of Mrs. Anyuanhou's death was expected. People regretted it and could only say "she is not blessed."

Mrs. Anyuan Hou's death date was brought forward by one month, and according to the news from the outside world, she stopped breathing while she was sleeping. The imperial doctor tested it, and there was nothing suspicious about it.

After the initial surprise, Gu Changhua could only analyze the pros and cons of this matter, and guess the cause and effect of this matter.

The narrowness of the news kept Gu Changhua at a loss. He couldn't even be sure whether the Anyuanhou's man died normally. After all, the vicious methods of the inner house made people hard to guard against. There were too many methods to kill people without leaving a trace.He can only deduce that "she died at the wrong time, but at the right time".

The only thing he can confirm is that at this critical moment in the draft, Gu Yihui has undoubtedly benefited from this matter.

The development of the matter is no longer on the track of the previous life, and Gu Changhua's resentment towards Gu Yihui seems to be just an opposition to "born of the concubine".

After a sleepless night, Gu Changhua couldn't help but reflect on whether he had put too much attention on Gu Yihui. After all, Gu Yihui was a woman. He could even let go of the "culprit" father, so why couldn't he let her go?He could even ignore her elder brother Gu Changting, why would he be filled with resentment whenever he met Gu Yihui?

In fact, he should be grateful to Gu Yihui for teaching her a lesson, "Only villains and women are difficult to raise", he let him engrave this sentence in his heart.

But he should let it go, at most, when necessary, just put Gu Yihui in a stumbling block for her, without herself, does she think he can become Mrs. Anyuanhou?

I'm afraid, even if he doesn't trip her up, in this life, there is no right time, place and people to let her get her wish.

She, in this life, is destined not to be too easy.

On the second day, Gu Changhua's vacation was over.

Lin Hengchuan and Gu Changhua, in addition to being the editors and editors of the Hanlin Academy according to the old rules, they also joined the cabinet and took charge of the Wenyuan Pavilion.

Daqi has four halls and two pavilions, namely Baohe Hall, Zhonghe Hall, Wenhua Hall, Yingwu Hall, Wenyuan Pavilion and East Pavilion.Drafting imperial edicts for the emperor, approving memorials, undertaking government affairs, mainly performing the duties of the emperor's secretary, so the four halls and two cabinets are collectively called the cabinet.

There are only six cabinet positions, the University of Baohe Palace, the University of Zhonghe Palace, the University of Wenhua Palace, the University of Yingwu Palace, the University of Wenyuan Pavilion, and the University of Dongge, all of which are five-rank.

Walking in Wenyuan Pavilion is not an official position of Daqi, but a back door opened by the emperor for people who have great potential, are favored by the emperor, and will focus on training in the future.This is a precedent set by His Majesty the Emperor himself.

In the 18th year of Zhao Xi's accession to the throne, in the sixth year of Guangwu, he set up "Wenyuan Pavilion Walking". After 12 years, less than nine people have done Wenyuan Pavilion Walking, and three of them did not satisfy Zhao Xi, and did not stay for three years , was kicked out by Zhao Xi halfway, and since then he has been devastated and forgotten.

But the remaining nine people have made great achievements, and the worst one to be released is also the lord of a state. This is the closest shortcut to suffering from the seventh-rank sesame official and slowly gaining qualifications.

The most important thing is that as long as you have done the Wenyuan Pavilion walk, then it is equivalent to being registered with His Majesty the Emperor. As long as you leave an impression on the top, there will be unexpected benefits. Otherwise, why would people scramble to go to His Majesty? Yuqian looked familiar.

——Walking in Wenyuan Pavilion is a high-risk and high-reward job, and failure is like falling into the dust.If you succeed, stepping out of this position means that you are the emperor's favorite and trustworthy minister.

On the first day they took office, that is, the first day of the draft, they entered the palace after reporting at the Imperial Academy in the morning.

Their arrival was not hindered by the "old man" in the cabinet. On the contrary, they felt joy from the bottom of their hearts.

This is easy to understand, because Zhao Xi's Ning Que Wu Lan, high standards and high requirements for cabinet members, the cabinet has not had a newcomer for two years, and three were released during the period. Before they came, the cabinet had only There are two people, Xue Jin, a scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion, and Cao Wei, a scholar of Dongge University.

Now.Counting the two of them, there are only four people in the cabinet.

They are very happy to have someone to share the burden for them.

Gu Changhua and Lin Hengchuan sat in front of the tall memorial, smiling wryly at each other.

Xue Jin, a scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion, said cheerfully: "This is the memorial presented by the upper court. This is the first batch. The local ones have not arrived yet."

The eunuch who was waiting next to him brought them tea. Immediately afterwards, Cao Weizheng, a scholar of the East Pavilion, walked in with a stack of memorials, put down the memorials, "Come, teach you two the rules of our cabinet."

The four of them were sitting together facing the tall memorial. Dongge University scholar Cao Wei smiled and said relaxedly: "I didn't expect that there are only four of us in the cabinet. I saw you two during the palace examination earlier. Your Majesty is very pleased." We saw your attitude, and we murmured in our hearts, [-] to [-]% of you will enter the cabinet, and we did not expect it to come true.

Our two brothers are really looking forward to and looking forward to it day and night, but it can be regarded as a help. "

Speaking of which, there is a reason for them to think so, because the people their majesty brings into the cabinet follow a standard, young, talented, and beautiful. In short, they want to make Zhao Xi pleasing to the eye, especially this kind of raising their heads. He never wronged himself when he didn't see officials who bowed their heads.

It's just that they thought that the two people who were going to enter the cabinet were Lin Hengchuan and Yu Heng. Although Gu Changhua was a beauty between his brows and eyes, he was a slightly fatter beauty. They couldn't help wondering whether His Majesty's taste had changed?

It's no wonder that Gu Changhua thinks that Zhao Xi has taken a fancy to his own face. In fact, Zhao Xi really likes beauties very much.

Gu Changhua and Lin Hengchuan saluted at the same time, "Boys are young and inexperienced, please teach me more from the two adults."

"It's easy to say, easy to say." The two bachelors nodded at the same time, no wonder His Majesty likes to look at beauties, this beauty is a beauty, even a fatter beauty is a beauty, even if they are already [-] years old and calm, they cannot avoid judging people by their appearance.The so-called love of beauty is shared by everyone, among other things, at least the beauty is seductive. They work hard all day, and they can adjust their mood after seeing each other.

Cao Wei drank a sip of tea, this year's new Dahongpao is worth as much as gold, and the folks have a price but no market. If it weren't for the palace, he wouldn't have such a good fortune. Unfortunately, he can't take it out, so he can only drink his fill here.

The meal at noon is also specially provided by the Imperial Study Room, which is also one of the benefits of the cabinet.

"Okay, let's get down to business now." The two adults put down the teacups, "Your first day in the cabinet, I will tell you one thing first, the most important one, cabinet members can be late, leave early, and even accept bribes, but There is only one thing, you must keep in mind that we are only assisting His Majesty in reviewing memorials and drafting imperial edicts, all our actions are to assist His Majesty, not to make decisions by ourselves."

Gu Changhua knew that it was his seniors who were imparting experience, so he listened very carefully.

Xue Jin waved his hand, "Okay, Mr. Cao, don't be so serious, don't scare the young people. In fact, although our cabinet is working hard, it doesn't need to bother too much. Our most important thing is to classify the memorials. If you want money, please Those who are sealed, those who request tax reduction or exemption, should submit it to His Majesty according to the priority of the matter, and those who thank you need us to sum it up clearly, and we will directly approve it, and after His Majesty reads it, affix the jade seal."

Gu Changhua picked up a memorial that had already been prepared, and inside it was a white note: XX land is flooded, pray for tax relief, Cao Wei.There is only one sentence on the white paper, but the memorial written above is gorgeous and full of words, and it takes two cups of tea to read it from the beginning to the end.

Just look at the white paper.

Gu Changhua put down the memorial, what they have to do now is to summarize it, reduce His Majesty's workload, and then sign it to clarify the responsibility.

In this way, the emperor's workload has been drastically reduced.

"This is a method invented by Taizu. However, due to too much resistance, this method of writing memorials has not been popularized, so we had to take a step back and set up a cabinet." Cao Wei shook his head regretfully.

The reason for too much resistance is nothing more than scholars.

If you ask a scholar to complete a memorial in one sentence, how can it show the superiority of the scholar? Officials who cannot get close to the holy face just hope to impress His Majesty with their beautiful brushwork. Every time I write a memorial, I can’t wait to write It seems that the longer you write, the more respectful you will appear. Don't you know that the longer the memorial, the more annoying your majesty will be.

In the Taizu era, it was a little bit better. As the founding monarch, he was less constrained and had a lot of prestige. Under the ban, the length of the memorial was not as objective as it is today.However, with the death of Taizu, the officials returned to their old ways, and Gaozu didn't bother to take care of it. He simply set up a cabinet once and for all, and he could write whatever he liked, and he didn't read it. cabinet members.
