Your Majesty, she doesn't want to flip the brand

After leaving the queen's palace, Zhou Xingzhi was urged by Wei Zhong to review the memorial.

"Your Majesty, today's memorial is a little less than yesterday's. You can finish reviewing it earlier." Wei Zhong said, "A bachelor from the Imperial Academy will come to explain the historical records to His Majesty later. Your Majesty had better prepare it."

"I see..." Zhou Xingzhi sighed in his heart, "When will the bachelors come over?"

"Your Majesty, Mo Yue is around the time of Shen." Wei Zhong said.

"Bachelors don't teach every day, do they?" Zhou Xingzhi said, if he has to go to class in the afternoon, then the time to find the queen mother will be pushed down a bit?

"The bachelor will come every three days or so. Of course, if His Majesty feels that he has learned enough, he can cancel the lecture." Wei Zhong said.

"Let's arrange it first, I still have a lot to learn." The era she is in is an ancient society, and many systems and rules are different from her own habits. She has to learn some new things.

After seeing the high pile of memorials, Zhou Xingzhi couldn't help but sighed again in his heart. She was tired before, and she is tired now. Could it be that she is destined to work hard!

"Wei Zhong, if you are in doubt, who will the Empress Dowager turn to for consultation?" Zhou Xingzhi asked suddenly after reviewing several memorials.

Wei Zhong recalled for a while and said, "If it's a major event, the Queen Mother will summon the six ministers and Prime Minister Ye to come. For other individual memorials, it should be related officials."

"Can Prime Minister Ye help me with government affairs?" Zhou Xingzhi asked, she had to find a way to share the work on her body.Prime Minister Ye is loyal to himself, he is reliable, loyal to the monarch and patriotic, so there is no problem in entrusting him with the affairs!

"Reporting to Your Majesty, the prime minister has already dealt with a lot of affairs, and there are some unimportant memorials. The prime minister will deal with them together with the six ministers." Wei Zhong said, taking a peek at Zhou Xingzhi, "Your majesty, if there is no prime minister Ye, you I'm afraid my desk will be filled with memorials."

"Okay, I understand." It's a pity that Prime Minister Ye's way is not going to work.

This was Zhou Xingzhi's second day reviewing the memorials. Relying on the experience accumulated yesterday, Zhou Xingzhi already knew which memorials were useful and which memorials were just formalities.Except for a few military memorials, the first hundred characters of other memorials are nonsense, and the middle and the back are the places that need to be focused on.

After knowing what the key points were, Zhou Xingzhi's speed at reading the memorials increased a lot, and he hurriedly read most of the memorials before lunch.

"Wei Zhong, go and say hello to the queen mother, and say that I don't know where I am in political affairs. You can ask the queen mother if you have time to help me solve my doubts." Zhou Xingzhi stood up and moved a little, and added, "I Hungry, pass on the meal."

"Observe the order." Wei Zhong quickly ordered the matter, and then stood in Zhou Xingzhi's hands, gently hammering her shoulders for her, "Your Majesty has worked hard."

"You have worked hard too, you have always been by my side." Zhou Xingzhi said casually.

"No hard work, this is what a slave should do!" After hearing Zhou Xingzhi's words, Wei Zhong couldn't help clenching his hands under his sleeves, and it took a lot of effort not to let himself lose his composure.His Majesty even said that he worked hard!He died without regret!

After hearing that it was a political question, the queen mother quickly gave a reply, and asked Zhou Xingzhi to tell Zhou Xingzhi that she was free for a few days, so if she had any questions, she could come and ask.

"That's just right, I have a question and want to ask the queen mother." Zhou Xingzhi smiled, "Wei Zhong, take the memorial that I picked out, I'm going to the queen mother's palace."

"Observe the order." Wei Zhong replied quickly.

To be honest, Qin Ran was surprised when he heard that Zhou Xingzhi needed to ask him about political matters.After a brief surprise, she readily agreed.Although I don't know whether Zhou Xingzhi did this out of her own heart or because someone was persuading her, but her willingness to come here means she trusts herself, at least that's what the news that has been conveyed to the outside world is like this.

"Mother, this is a memorial sent by Li Shilang from the Ministry of Officials. He said that the staff of the Ministry of Officials is not enough. I hope that I will add two assistant managers, who will be appointed as sixth-rank officials." Zhou Xingzhi sat upright and asked in a cute tone.

Qin Ran opened the memorial and read it roughly, "Your Majesty, do you know the resume of the Minister of the Ministry of Officials?"

Zhou Xingzhi thought for a while, and tried to look through the relevant memories in his mind, "I only know that Li Shilang became a servant last year, and he is a pragmatic person in the eyes of his colleagues."

"Who are the colleagues His Majesty is talking about?" Qin Ran asked.

"Other officials from the Ministry of Officials." Zhou Xingzhi replied.

"Since you are colleagues, you can't believe everything they say, Your Majesty. To put it bluntly, people in the Ministry of Officials have functional connections with each other, and sometimes the routine praise is just a show." Qin Ran, as the queen mother, hoped that Zhou Xingzhi would grow up as soon as possible, and the sooner he could grasp the government affairs, the better, so that Prince Jia would be forced to give up some thoughts.

"The queen mother means that the servant of the official department is not a pragmatic person?" Zhou Xingzhi asked.

"Your Majesty needs to find out the answer to this question by himself. Hearing is believing and seeing is believing. There is some truth in this sentence." Qin Ran said.

When Qin Ran was here, he was asked to marry by the first emperor to become his successor. Many people thought that the first emperor did this because he coveted Qin Ran's beauty.But Qin Ran knew very well that the first emperor was definitely not a person who was obsessed with beauty.Otherwise, she wouldn't not touch her after marrying her, but chose to teach herself how to deal with political affairs.

Sometimes Qin Ran even wondered if the late emperor had guessed such a situation a long time ago, and that's why he did that.

But if the first emperor had known that Prince Jia wanted to plot something wrong, why didn't he make a plan early to eliminate the possibility of Prince Jia's rebellion from the source?

Zhou Xingzhi listened carefully to Qin Ran's analysis of the pros and cons of this matter, "The queen mother means that it is okay to add more positions, but they can't give them too many rights, so as to prevent Li Shilang from using these two positions for his own personal gain?"

"Your Majesty is very smart." Qin Ran smiled, "One more thing, does Your Majesty know who Li Shilang is related to?"

"Could it be that Li Shilang has something to do with the regent?" Zhou Xingzhi asked tentatively, "Or is it with a certain important minister?"

Qin Ran laughed, "Your Majesty, don't you ever care about who is in your harem?"

Of course, she is disguised as a man, the less interaction with people in the harem, the better!

"I just remembered, Li Shilang is Concubine Li's father." Zhou Xingzhi's reaction was a little slower.

"Sometimes the affairs of the previous dynasty and the harem are related, Your Majesty needs to pay attention to this." Qin Ran paused, "In order to balance the relationship between the former court, Your Majesty may have to spend some time on the harem."

Zhou Xingzhi frowned slightly, "But Queen Mother, I am already very tired from dealing with those memorials, and I really don't have much time to spare."

"If you can't make time, then you can choose the time to eat. Having lunch together every few days can comfort those concubines very well." Qin Ran said as he picked up the tea in his hand and gently took a sip.

"Your Majesty, there are some problems that you have to face. Avoiding them all the time is not the answer. It is best to come up with a proper solution," Qin Ranyu said earnestly.

Zhou Xingzhi raised his brows slightly, what do these words imply?Does Qin Ran really know...

"Mother, when do you think it is more suitable for me to have a child?" Zhou Xingzhi told Zhou Xingzhi intuitively that Qin Ran should not have any hostility towards him, so she boldly tested it.

"Want a child?" Qin Ran paused, turned his head and looked at Zhou Xingzhi, "If His Majesty can do it, the sooner the better."

"Then what if I can't do it?" Zhou Xingzhi asked.

Hearing this, Qin Ran laughed, and waved his hands to make the people around him go away, "Your Majesty, haven't I said this, if you can't do it, you should find a way earlier."

After hearing Qin Ran's words, Zhou Xingzhi breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that his guess was correct, and Qin Ran was indeed the one who knew his true identity.

This is normal, Qin Ran was actually the ruler of the harem before he ascended the throne.Not to mention the ability to intervene in government affairs later on, the original body may be able to hide his identity before he ascended the throne, but after ascending the throne.As an emperor, there are countless pairs of eyes on his body. According to the ability of the original owner, it is difficult to hide the secret well.

"Thank you, Empress Mother, for your help." Qin Ran had already said this, and Zhou Xingzhi stopped hiding it, "I still need Empress Mother to help me with more work on the matter of the harem."

"It's natural." At the moment Zhou Xingzhi confessed, Qin Ran actually breathed a sigh of relief.Zhou Xingzhi is willing to tell her this, which means that she really trusts herself, so that it will be convenient for her to do many things.

"However, Your Majesty, there are some things that can't be hidden for a while." Qin Ran simply understood, "Of course, if Your Majesty intends to keep it a secret, it's best to find an excuse once and for all."

"For example?" Zhou Xingzhi asked.

"There is a hidden disease." Qin Ran said, "Although this can be solved once and for all, it is a fatal flaw for His Majesty. Before Prince Jia is resolved, no relevant news must be revealed."

"What does the empress mean?" Zhou Xingzhi can learn from her previous experience when dealing with political affairs, but she basically has nothing to do with concubines in the harem.

"Either choose a reliable person to confess your identity, or choose a person from your confidantes and put them in the harem, and then just spoil her alone." Qin Ran said, "If possible, I suggest that your Majesty choose the former one. , which will help to balance the power of the previous dynasty.”

"I will remember what my mother said." Zhou Xingzhi nodded seriously.

After sharing the conversation with Qin Ran, Zhou Xingzhi felt that the burden on his body was lighter, so he took advantage of the situation and asked the Queen Mother to help her with the memorial.

"It's not right. If Your Majesty has any questions, you can take the initiative to ask me, but if you let me directly intervene in political affairs, it will give Prince Jia an excuse, and it will make it difficult for Your Majesty." Qin Ran's thinking was very clear, and he directly refused to accept Zhou Xingzhi. proposal.

"The queen mother is right." Zhou Xingzhi sighed in his heart, and now Qin Ran's way was also blocked.

Is she doomed to be a hard worker?

Come someone, save her!
