Empress is very harmonious GL

"Why dismiss the palace people?" Tang Yi couldn't help joking, "Could it be that you are worried that I will be fascinated by their beauty and empathize with them?"

Chen Jia was annoyed by Tang Yi's bastard appearance, and couldn't help reaching out and pinching the other's waist, "I'm telling you something serious. Besides, if you have any unusual behavior towards them Xin Xin, then I will kick you and go to Nanqiang to find my cousin."

After practicing martial arts for two months, Chen Jia felt that his confidence was much stronger, and he waved his fists and spoke harshly.

Tang Yi hurriedly grabbed her small fist, and smiled apologetically: "Okay, I was wrong. Tell me the reason for dismissing the palace servants."

"I've been taking care of the palace affairs for a while, and I found that there are many inaccuracies in the accounts in the palace. In addition, the palace people are lax, and there is no rules for doing things. There are many flaws in many things."

Chen Jia rarely had such a serious moment, and her appearance made Tang Yi's complexion a lot more dignified.

"Then tell me what you found to be wrong?"

Chen Jia paced back and forth, and began to state her latest discovery: "First of all, the accounts and expenses in the palace are not correct.

There have been no grand events in the palace in recent years, except for the great event of the late emperor's death, which cost a little more, but even so, the Ministry of Internal Affairs is still very short of money.

Most of the accounts presented by the palace servants were fake accounts. One silk flower cost ten taels of silver, and one tael of spices cost ten taels of gold. As far as I know, one tael of silver is enough for a farmer’s monthly expenses.

In addition to cheating in purchases, high-ranking maids often withhold money from low-ranking maids all the year round, and those who are more courageous will even pass second-best items on offer to their masters. "

Chen Jiayue became more and more annoyed when he spoke, and with a strong hand, he broke the flower branch on the side of the road, and the flower thorns fell into the palm of his finger, and the blood dripped on the petals, making it even more delicate and beautiful.

"Just say it, why are you still angry?" Tang Yi took out a plain handkerchief to bandage the wound.

"A Yi, I think you have changed a lot."

Tang Yi froze, "Where did I change?"

"You are more angry than before, and you smile a lot, but you are not as charming as before." Chen Jia frowned, trying to describe the image he felt: "I can't tell exactly where it is, probably because I lack sincerity."

"Are you beating me, saying that I was not sincere enough to treat you?" Tang Yi asked back.

Chen Jia withdrew her finger, "That's not true, I believe you, it's just that you feel different to others."

"Isn't this normal? In the past, I was just a general, a prince, and I was even a silly child when I lost my memory. I didn't have so many scruples. But now that I am a monarch, I naturally have to be more mature, and I can't let those ministers easily see my innocence. mood."

The two sat on the bluestone slab between the ridges of the field, leaning shoulder to shoulder to watch the sunset, discussing in a low voice.

"Well, in fact, I know what you said, and they are not just like that." Tang Yi rubbed the top of Chen Jia's hair and said slowly, "Lazy and slick, deduction of wages, and deception are just a small aspect. , not to mention that there will be no fish when the water is clear, I can tolerate these, as long as they do not violate the interests of the imperial court."

"Then what is it that you cannot tolerate?"

Chen Jia remembered that there were no servants in his mansion, it was very quiet, and the servants behaved well and did not have any thoughts.

"Collude with foreign ministers to steal court secrets."

"Is there? You mean Manager Wang?" Chen Jia suddenly recalled what happened half a year ago.

Tang Yi sighed, "It's not just him, there are many people like this in the palace, especially those old and shrewd court ladies, who often have unspeakable relationships with those guards and courtiers. They came together and secretly watched the movement in the palace.

It's just that I can't clean them up yet. "

"You found out too! Why can't you clean it up?" Chen Jia broke away from her arm and exclaimed, "If you don't deal with such a disloyal servant, do you still want to save it for the Dragon Boat Festival?"

Tang Yi looked at her for a long time, but the smile on the corner of his mouth became more and more obvious.

"You are much stronger than before."

"What are you laughing at?" Chen Jia was a little uneasy, and in order to hide her guilty conscience, she simply pinched the other party again.

Tang Yi covered his waist, pretending to cry: "Okay, don't pinch me, won't your heart hurt if you pinch me?"

"No, you have rough skin and thick flesh. I'm worried that my flesh will hurt."

There was no one around, Chen Jia became more wanton.

"I just think you are much more lively than before. It seems that you have benefited a lot from practicing martial arts. You dare to hit me." She raised her small fist, as if to bully me back.

Standing there, Chen Jia didn't hesitate at all, and became more and more aggressive: "You hit me, if you don't hit me today, you are not a man..."

"I'm not a man, so I'll hit you~"

She stopped talking suddenly, touched her lips, and said wryly, "Why are you staring at me? Is there something dirty on my lips?"

The other party's eyes were so affectionate, like a puddle of water, she would drown in it just by looking at it.

"I wonder if I've been poisoned?"

"What poison? That fruit tree was used by someone..."

The rest of the words were blocked back.

"What are you doing?" She pushed gently.

"Concentrate."

One hand covered her eyes, and the other hand fixed her head, so that she could only passively bear the opponent's attack.

……

"Don't be angry, I'll apologize to you, okay?" Tang Yi shook Chen Jia's arms begging for forgiveness.

Chen Jia pushed Tang Yi away angrily.

This person is a liar, and he is becoming more and more rascal. He even thought of such a bad excuse as being poisoned.Didn't she know that she most tabooed the word poisoning?

Tang Yi chased after her, hugged her shoulders, and comforted her: "I was wrong, I was wrong, I will never joke around again in the future."

Hmph, I finally realized that I was wrong.

"Will you do this again next time?" Chen Jia picked up a branch on the side of the road, picked Tang Yi's chin, and asked, "Do you know how worried you are when you say that?"

"Pfft..." Tang Yi moved away from the branch and hugged her back: "I just want to kiss you."

The aggrieved appearance made it difficult for Chen Jia to pursue it any further, so he had to put down the branch and let the other party move.

"By the way, Jiajia, just do what you decide, and you don't have to worry about it anymore." Tang Yi suddenly straightened his face and talked about the business seriously.

"Didn't you want to hold back before?"

"Before I thought that instead of pulling out the old nails and letting people insert new eyeliner, it would be better to maintain the original state. But now I feel that keeping them is to encourage this behavior and advocate the other party's arrogance. If I do it again Anything will be more difficult."

"Okay, then tomorrow I will start to deal with the affairs of leaving the palace in batches."

Chen Jia lowered her head, and asked with some anxiety: "Aren't you afraid that I will toss like this and ruin your harem?"

"With me here, what are you afraid of?"

"it is good."

***

As soon as Tang Yi returned to the Tai Chi Hall, he saw Elder Tang waiting at the gate of the hall.

Just after the new year, Tang Yi had been cold to him for a long time. The banquet in the palace, the examination questions, and the appointment of the invigilator all left Tang Ge aside.

Those who surrounded Mr. Tange in the past saw that he had no sacred heart and could not help him in his official career, so they all alienated him by coincidence.

But Mr. Tange has been loyal to Daqi for three dynasties. Although his thinking is a little old, he does have real talents and practical learning. Tang Yi has only been on the throne for half a year, and he has to rely on him for many things. Not long ago, he was reactivated. He presided over the marking work of this imperial examination.

Mr. Tang Ge really has the meaning of relying on the old and selling the old. He always thought that he was irreplaceable, and he made a lot of efforts when the new king took the throne. He even refuted his face on the first day of this dynasty and was left out in the cold.

After self-cultivation at home for a while, he was as humble and diligent as when he first entered the court.

Tang Yi is very satisfied with this change.

After Elder Tang had already knelt down, she stepped forward and helped him up: "Elder Ge, there is no need to be so polite, please get up quickly."

Elder Tang Ge immediately refused, "The gift of a monarch and his ministers cannot be discarded."

Seeing him like this, Tang Yi smiled even more heartily.

"Since that's the case, let Ai Qing get up. By the way, why is Mr. Ge here at this time?"

"It's for the examination papers. Chunwei's papers have come out, and the marking work is over. The emperor will decide the rest."

Tang Yi took the test paper and flipped through it briefly, "Ai Qing, do you think there are talents among these candidates?"

Tang Gelao's complexion changed drastically when he heard this, and he immediately knelt down: "I dare not speak nonsense, the emperor will decide everything."

During the previous imperial examinations, the boss of Tang Ge wanted to promote some "good students" he valued and placed them in some of his departments with rich salaries and few affairs. The filthy atmosphere spread to the whole country.

Let's start with Mr. Tang Ge, this is also his opportunity to take the blame and make meritorious deeds.

Tang Yi put down the paper, "Aiqing, I took a look. Most of the scholars on the first and second grades are from Jiangsu and Zhejiang, but it is rare to see the scholars in Sichuan and Shaanxi. If I remember correctly, Shuqin In the two places, the test items have been specially added and the conditions have been relaxed, so how come only ten people from the two populous provinces are on the list?"

Old Tang Ge fell to his knees with a plop, shouting in his heart: "Your Majesty, I don't know, the examiners in charge of Shu and Qin are not humble ministers.

Furthermore, the veteran also thought that the terrain of these two places is steep, information is blocked, the people are stupid, teachers and school buildings are insufficient, and there are very few people who are eager to learn, so naturally fewer people take part in the scientific examination. "

absurd!

The poorer the place, the more they want to take the scientific examination, and the scholar can be exempted from taxes if they pass the examination. How could they not have the heart to learn?

As for the poverty and the lack of teachers and school buildings, that is even more a joke. When she was still the prince, she ordered the establishment of government schools in various places to teach children under the age of 14.

Old Tang Ge, it seems that you haven't learned enough lessons.

"Tan Qing, you have been exhausted during this period. In this case, I will reward you with a vacation. You can rest at home for a while, and you don't have to go to court without my order."

Award?This is clearly disgusting.

Tang Ge really never wants to experience the days when his family is desolate and he worries about his colleagues ridiculing and framing him every day.

He knelt on the ground and kowtowed in defense: "Your Majesty?! I'm not working hard, I can still share the emperor's worries... Your Majesty, please listen to my explanation!"

Tang Yi handed the chief eunuch a color, and the other party immediately waved his hand outside, and two soldiers immediately walked into the hall from the outside and dragged Mr. Tang out.

On the second day, Tange's old mansion received two imperial edicts, one was to remove Tange's old cabinet chief assistant from his position, and the other was to let Tange's grandson with a broken finger enter the cabinet.

The elders who joined the cabinet at the age of 25 are very rare.For a while, the Tan Mansion became the object of jealousy of everyone in the capital.

Chen Xiangye couldn't see Tang Yi's intention clearly, "Your Majesty, didn't you teach the Tan family a lesson? Why did you give them such a big reward instead?"

"Is there anything wrong with promoting Junxiu? Besides, there is such a young elder in the Tan family, and the ministers who usually get along with him will inevitably have some rifts. In this way, their strength can be completely disintegrated."

Chen Xiangye twirled his beard and agreed: "The emperor has some truths, but the old man is so important, how can he give it to Huang Maoer just because he is angry?"

"Yellow-haired boy? Uncle, you underestimate Xiao Tan." Tang Yi dropped his pen and said with his hands behind his back: "Xiao Tan was selected as a scholar at the age of ten, and he was a first-class talent at the age of 15. He was a success at a young age. He is not proud of his talent. He also did not choose such a noble place as the Hanlin Academy, but personally asked for orders to serve as Qipin county magistrate in central Sichuan.

Before he went, people from that county fled every year, and there were many complaints. After he went, the phenomenon of people fleeing was stopped, and the local taxes were never in arrears.

He served in the local area for three years, and every year his performance assessment was excellent. After the three-year period expired, he went to a state in Shaanxi to transform the poorest state into the richest state.It wasn't until three years ago that his grandmother passed away and Ding You returned to Beijing for three years. Otherwise, he would be a great official in the frontier this year.

Uncle, do you think he is still a yellow-haired kid? "

"Hasn't the emperor been fighting outside for the past few years? Why is he so clear about the officials in the court and the local area?" Chen Xiangye's eyes were bright, "Furthermore, Mr. Tan now has severed fingers and damaged limbs. Let him enter I'm afraid it's inappropriate to be an official."

Tang Yi handed a cup of tea to Chen Xiangye: "Uncle, what's the point of losing your limbs? As long as you have a flexible mind and can do practical things for Daqi and the people, it's better than a silverfish with healthy limbs."

Chen Xiangye drank the tea, frowned into a Sichuan character, and muttered: "The body, hair and skin of an official should not be damaged, this is the rule set by the ancestors."

"Don't break, don't stand, break and stand."

"But…"

"Uncle, I've made up my mind, you don't need to persuade me much."

"Destroy the old and create the new? Do other rules left by the ancestors have to be changed? For example, the beauties in the harem..."

Tang Yi laughed. It turned out that this was the real focus of my uncle's attention.

"Uncle, I only have Jiajia in my heart, and there will be no one else."

"Success! With your words, no matter what storms happen in the future, uncle will carry them for you first."

***

After sending off Mr. Chen, a black shadow slipped into the study.

"Who is there?"

Tang Yi pulled out the silver hairpin from his head and threw it towards the place where the shadow passed by.

"Your Majesty, it's me."

Bai Feifei picked up the hairpin on the ground and offered it with both hands.

Tang Yi inserted the silver hairpin back into the bun, looked behind the other party, and couldn't help but wonder: "Are you back? Alone?"

"Yes."

"Where's my mother?" Tang Yi had a bad premonition in his heart.

"The protection of the humble officials is not effective, and the two queen mothers have already been placed under house arrest by the Queen of Nanqiang."

"Boom" Tang Yi punched the table.

"Then why did you come back first?"

Bai Feifei raised her head, and replied neither humble nor overbearing: "The Busheng smoke on my body has recurred. If I don't take the antidote, I will die from the poison. Your Majesty, please give me the antidote."

A burst of hurried footsteps came into the hall.

"A Yi, did you poison Sister Feifei?"

"Jiajia, I said I didn't inflict the poison, do you believe me?"

Chen Jia tightly held the handle of the food box, as if it supported all her courage.

"I believe you."

After taking a breath, he walked forward slowly, and said with a warm smile, "I just learned a dim sum dish, and here it is for you to try."

A person suddenly appeared in front of her, holding her hand and preventing her from moving forward.

"Jiajia, if you believe her, does that mean you don't believe me?"
