Chapter 51 Tomorrow is a tough battle
Inside the imperial study.

The emperor sat on the dragon chair, looking at the table full of memorials, but he didn't have the slightest intention to deal with it.

He rubbed his temples. He still doesn't know how to pass the test tomorrow. Is Jiang Zhao really going to be executed tomorrow?
If he really wanted to be executed, he was really reluctant.

Not to mention execution, even if he was exiled, he would not bear it.

Being able to write the article "Born in Sorrow and Died in Peace" proves that Jiang Zhao has great talent.

Moreover, the military merit system is enough to change the history of the entire Tianyu dynasty, and he doesn't want to give up easily.

Just when the emperor had a headache, he heard the eunuch come to report: "Your Majesty, the empress dowager is here."

The emperor knew that the empress dowager must be here for Jiang Zhao.

Presumably she also heard the news.

Immediately afterwards, the emperor saw the queen mother come in, stood up from the seat, bowed his hands and said: "Mother queen."

The queen mother nodded and asked the maid to put down the food box, then waved her back.

"The queen mother must have heard the news when she came here at this time."

The emperor looked at the queen mother who was serving him soup and asked.

When he let the palace servant go down, he didn't order him to strictly keep the news.

The identity of the woman Jiang Zhao was exposed in public, and countless pairs of common people saw it, so there was no need to block the news.

The Empress Dowager brought the good soup to the emperor, nodded and said, "I heard that, I wonder what the emperor thinks?"

The emperor took the soup from the Empress Dowager's hand, but put it on the table instead of drinking it. How could he be in the mood to drink soup now.

Sighing, he said, "Jiang Zhao is a great talent. You can see from her book "Born in Sorrow and Died in Peace" and the military merit system. This person can surpass the sky."

"Also, I have read the two poems she wrote, "Compassion for Farmers" and "Qin Ji Le", both of which can be passed down through the ages. This shows that she is compassionate and compassionate, and she hates evil like hatred."

"She can sympathize with farmers and write poems to tell everyone not to waste food at will, which means that if she is an official in the future, she will definitely serve the people."

"Although the song "Qin Ji Le" is only scolding Chen Lianghan, the prefect of the capital, it is actually scolding the officials in the entire city of Huaijing, scolding them for being officials but not speaking out for the people. , they fled first, abandoning the people.”

"A person who hates evil like this will definitely stand on the opposite side of the aristocratic family in the future. If she does not enter the court, it will be a great loss to our Tianyu dynasty."

The queen mother was a little shocked that the emperor had taken such a fancy to Jiang Zhao. Unexpectedly, the emperor knew Jiang Zhao so well in such a short period of time.

But if you think about it, Jiang Zhao is indeed a great talent. If he uses it properly, the heart problems of the emperors of the Tianyu Dynasty may be eliminated by Jiang Zhao's hands.

Even if it cannot be eradicated, it can still suppress and severely damage the family, which is also a good thing for the royal family.

The Empress Dowager nodded: "Since that's the case, the emperor's thoughts and sorrows are understood."

"It doesn't matter if Jiang Zhao is a woman, at least she won't become the next family."

When the Queen Mother said this, it meant that she expressed her support, and she would support Jiang Zhao's entry into the court tomorrow as an official.

"It's just that tomorrow's aristocratic family will pass, I'm afraid it will be very sad." The emperor said.

The Empress Dowager naturally understood that there had never been a precedent for a woman to be an official in the Tianyu Dynasty.

At that time, if those ministers borrowed the ancestral etiquette, they would not be able to say anything, after all, the status of women in the Tianyu Dynasty has always been low.

"Tomorrow, Ai's family will show up. With Ai's family here, they must not dare to stop too much."

She is also a woman, if this group of ministers of the aristocratic family criticize Jiang Zhao through the woman's affairs, it will be disrespectful to the Queen Mother.

The emperor got up, bowed his hands and saluted: "Tomorrow, the hardworking mother will come forward."

The queen mother smiled: "It's not hard work, it's just that the mourning family has ignored the affairs of the previous court for a long time. I don't know how those old guys are doing now?"

"However, to make the emperor such a headache, he must have become more stubborn."

The queen mother planned to enter the court tomorrow not only to support Jiang Zhao, but also to take this opportunity to beat those aristocratic families.

Although she has never asked about court affairs these years, whenever she sees the emperor get angry, she can probably know where these aristocratic families can go.

However, the queen mother said: "The family is powerful now, so don't be too stubborn tomorrow, the emperor."

"Jiang Zhao must become an official in the court, but the aristocratic family should also give some compensation, otherwise they will jump the wall in a hurry."

"Now you don't have any useful people in your hands. It is not appropriate to fight against them. Wait until you have military power in your hands in the future, and then slowly eliminate them."

The emperor nodded. He knew all of this. Right now, he has no power and no one in his hands. Whatever he wants to do will be restricted.

"Mother, I know."

The Queen Mother nodded: "Just think about how to compensate those aristocratic families tomorrow."

The emperor sneered: "What they want is for their descendants to be officials in the court and to stabilize their family's position in the court."

"Tomorrow, the top ten students in the palace examination will be sealed together. In this way, they will not object too much."

"It's really a good idea. Anyway, the court doesn't care about having a few more idlers." The queen mother said.

In this court, there are already too many officials who came in through connections but have no talent.

Not to mention seven more seals tomorrow, even if all the students who took the palace examination this year will be sealed, the court will continue to operate, anyway, it is just a few more salaries.

After making a plan with the emperor, the Empress Dowager returned to the Palace of Compassion and Ning.

After the queen mother left, the emperor drank the soup that the queen mother served him and looked out of the window.

Thinking in his heart, I don't know if Jiang Zhao will face the saint tomorrow in women's clothing, or as usual in men's clothing?

But tomorrow he will award Jiang Zhao an official position in the court, and it is not necessary to know that the group of ministers will definitely oppose it with all their strength.

Before he insisted on picking Jiang Zhao as the number one scholar, he had already offended the ministers, but even if the ministers objected, they still accepted it.

After all, Jiang Zhao did have great talents, but the military merit system touched their interests.

But now that a woman is going to be appointed as an official in the court, those stubborn old people know what to say about ancestral etiquette.

But none of them obeyed the ancestral etiquette and ruled the government all day long. He, the emperor, was no different from a puppet.

Thinking of this, the emperor's heart became more determined to ask Jiang Zhao to become an official in the court.

The emperor leaned on the dragon chair, closed his eyes and meditated, tomorrow will be a tough battle.
