It's hard to be the emperor who crosses the eagle

In a blink of an eye, it was the summer of 1220 AD.

The Empress Dowager Quan's family is used to being poor, and she is very satisfied with her current life, and she is not greedy for power. She eats fast and recites Buddha in her own palace all day long, and gets along very well with Su Ruochen.

Su Ruochen is going to open Enke.The time is set for the spring of the following year.

After more than a year of busy work, many things are on the right track, and Su Ruochen should be free to rectify the bureaucracy.

Back then when he was acting with Zhao Yurui, it was really helpless to let some officials go.After all, if they were all killed, the entire imperial court would be immediately paralyzed.Now, although Su Ruochen has accelerated the speed of cultivating talents and slowed down the speed of elimination, it is still not enough.

Su Ruochen decided to open Enke and acted as the chief examiner himself.In addition to the Four Books and Five Classics, more than ten items including military affairs, agriculture, and industry were added to the examination questions.

Except for the titles of the Four Books and Five Classics, which were drafted by officials from the Ministry of Rites, the rest were personally decided by Su Ruochen.The first question is just a pretense. It is mainly to see if the examinee can read or not, but it doesn't really mean much.And the next dozen or so questions are Su Ruochen's goals.

The last question among them may make the examinees dumbfounded.Su Ruochen couldn't help raising the corners of her mouth in a good mood.

Seeing Su Ruochen sniggering from a distance, Zhao Yurui ran over immediately: "Brother Huang!"

Su Ruochen smiled and said, "Xiao Rui, you're such an adult, why are you still so frizzy?"

Zhao Yurui pursed her lips and said, "Brother Huang, I'm just doing this in front of you! Sister Ling Qiu caught that thief!"

Qiuyue's real name was Yue Lingqiu. After Yueshan succeeded to the throne of King E, she resumed her real name and became the first female guard commander in history.

A few days ago, Yue Lingqiu inadvertently discovered that the precious calligraphy and paintings in the palace were always disappearing innocently. She felt that there was something strange about it, so she paid attention to it.It was only now that the daring thief was caught.

Su Ruo raised her eyebrows, and said with a sneer, "You're so brave, you stole something into my palace! These people from the rivers and lakes really take me for a fool! Let's go and have a look."

After being the emperor for four years, Su Ruochen's biggest change was the change of mood.At this point, he has completely brought himself into the role of emperor.Four years ago, he was just a teenager full of fantasies about martial arts, but now, he has completely looked at problems from the perspective of an emperor.

If it were Su Ruochen back then, he would have respect and admiration for these thieves; but now the emperor of the Song Dynasty hates these thieves even more.After all, "Is it the king's land in the whole world, and the king's ministers on the coast of the land", what the thieves stole is all his things!

Yue Lingqiu had already imprisoned the thief in the sky prison, and when she heard that the emperor was going to meet the thief, she frowned disapprovingly and said, "Your Majesty, this thief is very skilled in martial arts, and the final general used the 'Tian Luo Di Net' to capture him The so-called "heaven and earth net" is a large net made of silk from the sky, which is specially used to arrest martial arts practitioners.

Su Ruo said with a deep smile: "I just went to have a look, I didn't do anything. What's more, with Commander Yue around, what fear do I have?"

Yue Lingqiu looked at the ZTE Lord whom he looked down upon back then but now seems to be a rare one in the Song Dynasty, and sighed helplessly: "Please, Your Majesty."

Following Yue Lingqiu into the place where the thief was being held, Su Ruochen took a closer look at the thief who had eaten the guts of a leopard.

The man with disheveled hair and a black night clothes was tied to a steel torture instrument.His head drooped and he didn't look at people.

"You are so powerful that you even stole into the palace." Su Ruochen smiled and said, "What's your name? Is there a name in the world?"

The man didn't answer, as if he was asleep.

"Is he deaf? Or dumb?" Su Ruochen raised the other's chin with his hand.

The man glared at him fiercely, but was a little stunned when he found his clothes.

"Your Majesty!" Yue Lingqiu quickly drew out his sword and pointed at the thief's neck.

Su Ruochen frowned and said, "Commander Yue, I'm not that bad."

"Hehe," the man chuckled, his voice hoarse, "are you that emperor?"

"It's me."

The man was silent for a while before saying: "You are a good emperor."

Surprise flashed in Su Ruochen's eyes, and then he smiled and said, "Should I thank you for your compliment?"

When Su Ruochen put his hand down, the man lowered his head again.

"Your name?" Su Ruochen thought for a while, and added: "Don't think that if you don't tell me, I have no way of knowing. As long as you post the imperial list and your portrait, there must be many people willing to share my worries .”

The man finally spoke: "Qu San."

Song three?Su Ruochen seemed to have a vague impression of this name in a trance, but couldn't remember it.He asked again: "Why do you want to steal things from the palace?"

Qu San lowered his head and did not speak.

"Commander Yue, let him go." Su Ruochen quickly weighed the pros and cons, and felt that the danger of this person was very low.

Yue Lingqiu replied dissatisfied: "Observe the order." Then he commanded the guard next to him to unlock the lock, while he stood in front of Su Ruochen.

Su Ruochen discovered that Qu San had problems with his legs and feet.

Song three, theft, the imperial palace, expensive calligraphy and paintings, inconvenient legs and feet...Su Ruochen's heart suddenly brightened, and he thought of a possibility.

"Qu Lingfeng."

Qu San trembled all over, looking at Su Ruochen in disbelief, only to see the latter smile resolutely.

"Huang Yaoshi, the owner of Peach Blossom Island known as 'Dongxie' in Jianghu, is the commander, right?" Although he used interrogative sentences, his tone was affirmative.

Qu Lingfeng smiled wryly: "Since Your Majesty has already found out, why do you still pretend not to know?"

Su Ruochen shook her head and said, "I've only heard of it before, and never thought that you are Qu Lingfeng. It was just a guess just now, but now it is confirmed."

The reason why Qu Lingfeng was able to live until now is also indirectly due to Su Ruochen's contribution.Su Ruo Shen fiddled with that, changed this and that, indirectly improved the living environment around Qu Lingfeng, and also added some social benefits.So now he can still run into the palace to steal some valuable calligraphy and paintings, and he wants to dedicate them to his master Huang Yaoshi, and return to the teacher's school.

"Maybe... Let the imperial doctor try your leg." Su Ruochen made a serious promise.

Qu Lingfeng suddenly raised his head and looked at him.After a while, he said slowly, "Why?"

Su Ruo said with a deep smile: "It is rumored that Dongxie has learned about ancient and modern times. As his apprentice, you will not be far behind, right? In addition, you are from Peach Blossom Island, so you are proficient in navigation, right?"

Qu Lingfeng did not deny it: "Your Majesty wants the grassroots to become officials?"

Su Ruochen nodded: "I want you and Yan Zhijing to lead our Great Song Navy."

Qu Lingfeng's eyes were burning: "Your Majesty trusts me so much?"

Su Ruo said with a deep smile, "I can trust the hearts of my Chinese children."
