I defeated Emperor Chongzhen at the beginning!

Chapter 37 Dare to ask Your Majesty, my daughter is still...

Although Jin Yiwei has a lot of power, it is still an institution behind the scenes, and it cannot appear in front of the world openly.

Unlike the army, which protects the homeland and fights on the battlefield, it is all about confrontation, not secret-to-secret calculations!
"Report!"

Front Army News is here!

"Reporting to Your Majesty, General Yuan Chonghuan has now shot and killed Zhang Yang, the son of the rebellious minister Zhang Xu, and has shot and killed 20 dead soldiers from the aristocratic family with the power of a crossbow. Our army has won a complete victory!"

"Good! Very good!"

"According to my decree, the soldiers and soldiers in this battle are indispensable, and all will be given a hundred pieces of silk and satin, and a hundred taels of gold!"

"Yuan Chonghuan and General Lu Xiangsheng were promoted to the first rank! Give the mansion and reward ten thousand taels of gold!"

Zhu Youjian couldn't think of anything else to reward, so he could only reward some vulgar things.

Family!

finally reached!

……

Kunning Palace.

Zhu Youjian and the queen sat at the same table, and there was someone else for this meal, a rather special guest.

This matter is one of the three great Confucian scholars in the Ming Dynasty, a member of the Ministry of Rites, Wailang Shangling, and the head of the country.

"I see your Majesty!"

Zhu Youjian raised his hand, but did not help.

"Master please get up quickly."

He was still a bit awkward in his heart, because Shang Ling and the Zhang family were very close before, if he hadn't deliberately reminded the queen at that time, Shang Ling would be the first to perish together with the Zhang family.

"How is the father-in-law?"

"With His Majesty taking care of you, everything will be fine!"

What Shang Guozhang said, since this daughter entered the palace, his status in the national tide has risen, and his confidence has also improved a lot.

People are now legitimate relatives of the emperor.

During the Chinese New Year and holidays, there are also many gifts sent to the door by various officials, and the common people love him even more on weekdays.

Every time I meet my daughter returning to her natal family by chance, or enter the palace by herself, the reward from His Majesty is indispensable.

So every time he meets Zhu Youjian, Shang Ling is respectful and excited.

There is no shortage of smiles on the face.

"Guo Zhang, according to folk customs, I should visit the Guo Zhang first, how can I always let the Guo Zhang run for kilometers?"

After saying this, even the queen couldn't help but sweat.

"Your Majesty is really a disgraceful minister. You are busy with state affairs. When you come in, you will find the Empress Dowager Qing Dynasty outside, and there will be uprisings from aristocratic families inside. I dare not speak falsely just because Your Majesty did not come in person!"

Zhu Youjian nodded, and patted Shang Ling on the shoulder to express his affirmation.

"It's the best for the head of the country to think so. However, what's the matter with the head of the country entering the palace this time? But what's missing or what's missing?"

"Reporting to Your Majesty, there is no shortage and no shortage of ministers!"

Shang Guozhang quickly shook his head, and then said with a smile: "I dare not hide anything from Your Majesty. I entered the palace this time to let Your Majesty see what I have not done well, or the official position has been transferred..."

That's it!

This is a drunkard's intention not to drink.

Zhu Youjian pretended not to understand, and snorted softly: "Huh?"

Shang Ling had no choice but to continue to explain with his head bowed: "I believe that now that the family has collapsed, it is a great opportunity for poor scholars to come to power! But because there is no official selection system for poor families, the old minister has the courage to come here to replace poor families. Your Majesty begs for your grace."

"How do you want to ask for grace for them?"

Zhu Youjian put down the chopsticks in his hand, picked up the wine glass on the side, and drank a glass of wine with his head up. Then he put down the wine glass a little hard, and the sound of being knocked on the table made the queen's heart tremble.

I don't know if she was thinking too much.

In order to achieve his goal, Shang Ling didn't care about these things, he quickly stood up from the chair, then knelt on the ground, and made a big gift to Zhu Youjian.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, I believe that a scholarly selection system should be established. A scholarly selection official should be appointed to set up positions for poor students, and then the scholarly selection officials will select suitable candidates from among the poor students to assign positions. In this regard, the poor students Everyone can have the opportunity to become an official in the court."

The words are rough and the rationale is not rough, although Shang Ling's little thoughts can't be hidden at all, Daming Zhu Youjian knows that his suggestion is reasonable.

It's just...

"Then Master Shang thinks, who is more suitable to be the selection official?"

Even if this is just a position to select poor students, and these poor students will not have much money to bribe, but this position can train a large number of officials who can be used by themselves in the future.

What is the difference between this and the family!
Zhu Youjian's eyes gradually became cold, and his gaze towards Shang Ling was no longer soft.

The queen noticed the change in Zhu Youjian's expression very carefully, and quickly helped her father who was kneeling on the ground to get up.

Then he explained with a smile: "Father, over the years, you have seen the daughters you made for the poor students. Now that the family has been eliminated, as for the poor students, His Majesty will definitely use them again, so I don't need to worry about it."

"Can……"

Shang Ling opened his mouth at first, and opened his mouth to argue again, but the queen's hand hidden in his sleeve gently pinched his arm, Shang Ling reacted and glanced at Zhu Youjian's expression, and said nothing else.

"Father, it's hard for you to enter the palace today, and it's rare for His Majesty to be free. Let's finish this meal and stop talking about business, shall we?"

The father was outspoken, but the daughter was sensible.

"The queen is right. This is just an ordinary family banquet. The selection of officials will be discussed at the court. Today is a family banquet, so let's not talk about it."

Zhu Youjian don't say that there is food in the queen's bowl.

Seeing this, Shang Ling had no choice but to give up. He also secretly blamed himself for being too impatient and almost showing his feet.

As everyone knows, everything he does reveals his little thoughts, and Zhu Youjian has seen all of these.

The reason why he was not dealt with was just because he was the queen's father.

"Your Majesty, after half a month, it will be the concubine's birthday... After the birthday, the concubine will be ready to age."

The Queen bowed her head and smiled shyly as she spoke, her face was instantly flushed, and her ears were also red.

Hearing this, Zhu Youjian smiled and held the queen's hand, stroked it twice with his thumb, and then patted the back of her hand with fiery eyes.

Shang Guozhang watched from the side and coughed lightly. He suddenly felt that his existence was a bit out of place.

"May I ask Your Majesty, my daughter is still..."

He didn't say the words "virgin body", under the blue sky and bright sun, he really didn't know how to say it for a person who had read sage books for so many years.

Moreover, he just made Zhu Youjian angry just now, and now he has to be more cautious in his words and deeds.

Zhu Youjian knew what he wanted to express, and then explained: "My father-in-law, don't get me wrong. The reason why I don't have a Linxing queen is because she hasn't reached the age yet, not because of other things. The father-in-law doesn't need to worry about it."

Hearing this, Shang Ling breathed a sigh of relief, but he didn't dare to make it too obvious.
