Aspirations for Nation and Beauty Chapter 2: Iron Horse Glacier Section 114 Insights

Both Zhu Zimei and Li Qingke feel flattered. Although they often come to this study, since the establishment of the empire, no concubine has enjoyed the honor of assisting His Majesty in reading documents. Even Angel, who is a queen, rarely comes into contact with these things, but Wufeng was so excited today that he actually wanted to let the two of them go to read the documents together. Although it was just to help with the reading, it was also a rare favor in years up.

Exchanging pleasant eyes with each other, both Zhu Zimei and Li Qingke felt the excitement and vigilance in each other's eyes. It would be great if this kind of favor can only be enjoyed by themselves, but it's a pity that there is an extra character that is an eyesore On the side, it's a bit of a pity to have something so wonderful.

Wu Feng didn't think too much about it. Of course he knew that the empire had established the principle of strictly prohibiting concubines from intervening in politics, but it's nothing to let the concubines occasionally read the documents for him to relieve fatigue. Important military affairs have already been timely Disposal, the rest is just some government affairs, so there is no need to worry about the possibility of any leaks. Adjusting the atmosphere in this way will also make the second daughter and myself feel much better. At least this kind of doting can make the second daughter feel that I have made up for my neglect in the past few months. Now the most dangerous moment has basically passed, and I can also have Spend more energy on accompanying the concubines. If the resentful women in the harem are neglected for too long, it will cause a lot of trouble, especially for these concubines who have no children.

Li Qingke and Zhu Zimei didn't think as much as Wufeng did, and such an honor had already made them elated. The actual content is not important, and this kind of treatment is undoubtedly a kind of affirmation for the two of them in his mind, and this kind of affirmation is undoubtedly a guarantee for them to ensure long-term love.

You must know that there are quite a few women in the palace who are above imperial concubine, Angel, Situ Yutang, Lin Yuexin, and Anne needless to say, except for the second daughter of Zhu Li, it seems that Sophia will also obtain the status of an imperial concubine sooner or later . Her status as a princess of the Kingdom of Jemelo and her ambiguous emotional entanglements with His Majesty made her stand out among the many women who surrounded His Majesty.

There is also that Situ Yuzhen, a lowly woman with the blood of a singing girl who actually wants to dream of being a noble concubine. Both Li Qingke and Zhu Zimei are a little bit upset about this, and the Shijiadi is also overwhelmed. Shi Yawei and Junshan Clivia, who is also one of the four great beauties of martial arts, are also very active in the palace now, and they seem to want to climb high branches wishfully, plus Mo Woer, who is from the Indian region and is known as the number one noble lady in Indian The duke's daughter, Nataguli Movor, has also arrived in Beijing as a gift from the Indian tribes to pledge their allegiance to the empire. Both Li Qingke and Zhu Zimei felt tremendous pressure.

Wufeng naturally couldn't guess the momentary thoughts of the complicated second daughter, but Wufeng noticed the second daughter's brief loss of focus after the surprise, and he was a little surprised. Are these two still unwilling to read the papers for themselves? "Qingke, what's wrong with you?"

Woke up all of a sudden, Li Qing can quickly gather his mind and pick up the first document on the imperial case and said in a manly voice: "I'm a little distracted, I thought that if Qing Shi came to serve Your Majesty Wouldn't it be better to read the copywriting, Qingshi's voice is first-class. Compared with Qingshi, the concubine's body is worse."

"Damn girl, it's not that I appreciate poetry, but this is a government document. Read it quickly and look at this thick stack. It's all work that needs to be done tonight. The emperor can be regarded as dedicated enough Right?" Wufeng laughed, Li Qingke, who was sitting on his lap, patted his **** hard, but never left. The palms were also forcefully kneaded on Li Qingke's tight buttocks.

It was the first time that Li Qing, who felt Wufeng was so presumptuous and provocative, obviously couldn't adapt, especially when there was Zhu Zimei, who could be called a rival in love, beside her. Provocative and raging is still a great psychological challenge for Li Qing, who has received strict court education since childhood.

Doing his best to focus his attention on the document in his hand, Li Qingke realized that his voice was trembling when he read out: "Merry County's proposal on establishing an agricultural futures exchange in Luxor."

"Qingke, you can just talk about the general idea, you don't need to read the original text." This was also an important suggestion, but due to the expansion of the empire's local war, these matters were temporarily put on hold. Now that the situation has improved slightly, many things should be considered and handled as appropriate.

Li Qing could read ten lines at a glance, and briefly introduced the main content of the proposal of Governor of Meili, Qin Tieliu. Wu Feng was quite satisfied with what he heard. "What is the opinion of the Government Affairs Council?"

"Master Xiao has already signed the opinion, he suggested to suspend the consideration, and make a conclusion after the situation in the empire stabilizes." Li Qingke replied obediently.

"Well, this matter is handled according to the opinion of the Government Affairs Council. Now the empire does not have so much thought to pay attention to it. Besides, it will take some time to train officials who are proficient in financial affairs. Just relying on the recruited personnel from the Western Continent, the Ministry of Finance will also I won’t rest assured.” Wufeng shook his head, this war has delayed too many development opportunities, but he has to fight, it’s better to fight sooner than later, and once the fight is over, he can spare his mind to figure out how to make such a huge The Empire is moving forward at full speed.

"Minister of Courtesy, Lao Min, please grant Changbin and other thirty-three people the title of nobles in 701." Zhu Zimei's heart couldn't help jumping secretly when she saw this memorial. It was very intense, and it could even be said to reach the point of white heat. Zhu Zimei knew this well. There were even some people who quietly went to the palace with their connections, and wanted to take the road of blowing pillow wind to influence this matter, and they were also affected by it. As far as she knows, at least Situ Yuzhen is also involved in it.

Since the establishment of the empire, the issue of conferring noble titles has been very strict and even harsh. The requirements are very strict. For example, Xiao Tang and Su Qin, who are the prime ministers of the Government Council, are only earls. There is not even a single nobleman who has been awarded the title of Marquis or above because of his military achievements. There are correspondingly more opportunities, such as overseas adventures to discover territories and colonies, or great breakthroughs in scientific research and technological innovation, or celebrities with outstanding achievements and prestige in the field of culture and art.

The gentry merchants who once made great economic contributions to the empire also obtained some low-level titles, but this condition was soon raised to a very high level. In 701, they were awarded for their economic contributions. There were more than 80 nominees qualified for noble nomination in each county, but they were eliminated at the level of the Ministry of Etiquette to less than 20 people. This once aroused widespread concern and criticism from people in the economic circles, but the Ministry of Etiquette still went its own way. Insist on evaluating according to your own opinions, and formulate corresponding rules.

Because of obtaining the title of nobility, you have the right to choose and be elected as a representative of the Senate. Once you are elected as a representative of the Senate, you can obtain judicial immunity and the qualification to participate in the discussion of national government affairs, and can participate in some government affairs of the Council of State. Meeting, this kind of respectful treatment is not something that can be obtained just by being rich, so the competition among economic people in this area is quite fierce, which has also led these people to hope to exert influence from various angles.

"Thirty-three people? As far as I remember, there are only twenty-five people in this batch. Where did the extra eight people come from?" Wu Feng was a little surprised, Lao Min would not appear on such an important issue Such a big mistake, right?

"Your Majesty, Mr. Lao has stated in the memorial that it is difficult to choose qualified candidates after selection, so I invite you to make a decision." Zhu Zimei certainly knows how much pressure she has endured on this issue as the Minister of Rituals, at least herself He used to more or less hint that Lao Min took care of someone, but now this guy is also cunning, and actually kicked the problem at His Majesty's feet. It seems that he would rather offend His Majesty the Emperor than anyone else.

"Hmph, this guy really knows how to be a good person and let me be an evil person." Wufeng was a little displeased, "How did Xiao Tang give instructions?"

"Master Xiao is also instructing His Majesty to approve it." Zhu Zimei originally wanted to say a word or two, but she felt that Wufeng was a little annoyed, so she didn't dare to add anything at this time.

"Hmph~IndoMTL.com~ will be a good person and send it back to the Government Affairs Council for a review by the Ministry of Rituals. They are not sure about the number of suitable candidates, so I won't sign and approve them." Wu Feng hummed.

"Your Majesty, my concubine has a bold suggestion, I don't know if I should say it or not?" Seeing Zhu Zimei hesitated to speak, Li Qingke looked forward and smiled sweetly.

"Oh? Qingke, let's just say it, you and I should be husband and wife, don't I have to blame it?" Wufeng said casually.

"Your Majesty, I have heard a lot of people say that during this trip to the south, many people have some opinions on the strict control of the title of nobility in the empire. Substantial interests, they value the opportunity to participate in state affairs discussions or the power to elect someone they trust to represent their opinions in the imperial government, because that symbolizes the empire's recognition of their great contributions to the empire. Therefore, the concubine privately thought that the empire should make some changes in this regard, such as weakening the actual privileges of the nobles, such as judicial immunity should be limited or could be canceled under certain conditions, and substantive fiefdoms should be canceled to symbolic fiefdoms, to a certain extent Expand the number of nobles, and consciously tilt the proportion to the economic circle, which can effectively stabilize the ruling foundation of the empire, and at the same time stimulate the entrepreneurial enthusiasm of the empire's business circles."
