Liu Qing was a little embarrassed... She looked at the empress Liang Zhao and saw that she still had the attitude of "I'm not in a hurry, you can think about it slowly." She had no choice but to temporarily give up considering the emperor's ideas and seriously think about the nature of the problem.
my dream?
my wish?
Liu Qing fell into deep thought.
If I was captured into the Ye Mansion, my wish would definitely be to kill the Ye family father and son and avenge my mother...
Before entering the palace, my wish would definitely be to gain a good foothold in the palace, become a powerful concubine, be able to protect my father, and allow him to spend his old age peacefully...
Now...
For some reason, the figure of the masked man with a grimace suddenly appeared in Liu Qing's mind...
Her hero! !
Her savior in difficult and dangerous situations! !
If I have a chance, I really want to see his true face...
Liu Qing could feel her affection for the savior, but she also knew that it was impossible for her to be with him. If she went to find him or showed it, it would not be repayment for him, but a disaster.
She is destined to be the emperor's woman.
This is her life.
She can't change her fate against the odds! !
So, for herself, and for the ghost-faced masked man.
These things must be rotten in your heart.
"Your Majesty, my dream is... to become a useful woman."
"My wish is that my family can live a good life and not be bullied by others..."
Liu Qing thought for a while and expressed her thoughts.
"Um."
Empress Liang Zhao nodded and said softly: "Very simple dreams and wishes."
"The former requires you to work hard and prove yourself with your results. As for the latter... I can help you solve it."
"Huh?" Liu Qing was also stunned and looked at Empress Liang Zhao in surprise, not understanding what she meant.
"I can send someone to protect your family." Empress Liang Zhao did not hide anything and said directly: "When I was investigating court officials recently, I found a case involving you. I know that your family is being threatened by some people. I have already dealt with those people. They are all officials suspected of corruption. Dali Temple, the Ministry of Punishment, and the Metropolitan Procuratorate are investigating, so you don’t have to worry."
Liu Qing was a little stunned, but then she realized what she was doing, cried with joy, and knelt down directly:
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
The surprise came so fast that Liu Qing was caught off guard!
Liu Qing originally wanted to start secretly investigating and find out the real culprit behind the scenes after becoming the imperial concubine, but she didn’t expect that just by becoming a selected attendant, the matter would have been solved by the emperor?
This is an unexpected surprise! !
"Okay, get up!" Empress Liang Zhao smiled slightly and continued to ask: "Now that your family affairs are settled, do you still want to continue to be a concubine in the palace?"
"This..." Liu Qing was stunned again. What did the emperor mean?
Could it be that I could still choose this kind of thing?
Have they all become concubines in the palace?
Have you all entered Chuxiu Palace?
Have you already become a Chosen Attendant?
Can you still give up your job?
It is true?
Are you testing me?
Liu Qing suddenly became alert and said cautiously: "Your Majesty, I don't dare to have other thoughts. I am very satisfied to be protected by your Majesty and to protect my family."
"It's okay, you don't need to be nervous." Empress Liang Zhao naturally guessed Liu Qing's thoughts, put down the tea cup, and said gently: "Liu Qing, with your intelligence, why do you think I asked you to learn the Great Wilderness Art of War?"
"This..." Liu Qing thought for a moment and replied, "Is it to select concubines who are smart enough?"
"Yes, and no!" Empress Liang Zhao smiled slightly and explained directly: "I am indeed selecting, but I am not selecting concubines who are smart enough, but selecting available talents."
Having said this, Empress Liang Zhao took out a few test papers from the drawer and handed them to Liu Qing.
"Your Majesty, what is this?"
Liu Qing took the test paper and did not open it immediately. Instead, she looked at Empress Liang Zhao in confusion.
"This is the result of my test in the academy. You can take a look." Empress Liang Zhao responded.
Liu Qing took the test paper and briefly looked through it. He found that the answers from the students in the academy were decent, but their thinking was fixed and they felt a bit scripted. The most important thing was that the content on the test paper was copied mechanically and forced to cater to the Dahuang Art of War, and the language was , is full of praise and praise for this art of war.
Obviously, if these people are really allowed to take charge of the army, I am afraid that all of them will be just armchair strategists! !
'If these people are allowed to lead the army, I'm afraid it will be difficult for Dahuang to fight against the wolf-like Sirius army...'
This idea flashed through Liu Qing's mind.
But she had no intention of saying it. After all, she was just a concubine. Unless the army attacked the capital, it would have little to do with her.
Just seeing the answers from these students, Liu Qing naturally came up with a better answer.
For example, in the fourth question, one of the three items is missing...
Another example is question 9: How to quickly conquer a city?
Liu Qing has a better way.
"How about it?"
"What do you think of their answers?"
Empress Liang looked at Liu Qing and asked playfully.
"Well... the answers from the students of the Academy are very good. After all, they are all people who have read poetry and books. They are definitely much better than us women who only know how to be a prostitute, a husband and a child... ..." Although Liu Qing was dismissive of their answers in her heart, she was still very humble and low-key on the surface.
"Indeed, their answers are much better than those of Chuxiu Palace's talents and attendants." Empress Liang Zhao nodded, agreeing with Liu Qing's words.
But soon, Empress Liang Zhao changed the topic: "But, these people are not as good as you!!"
"You are a true genius!!"
"In my opinion, you are a genius no less powerful than Zhou Zhenwen, the chief minister of the cabinet!!"
Um?
Liu Qing was also stunned. This evaluation was really frighteningly high.
Since Zhou Zhenwen came to prominence, he has been hailed as a rare genius in a thousand years.
This is the common understanding of almost all people in the wilderness.
Winning six yuan in a row, he went from being an unknown person to becoming the number one scholar in Beijing...
It can be called a counterattack by the poor people! !
Can you compare to such a person?
"Haha, you seem a little unbelievable..."
Empress Liang Zhao looked at Liu Qing's expression of surprise, surprise, and astonishment, and smiled: "But in my opinion, you have such potential, so I think you should become a little woman who is comfortable in the harem, and spend every day in the harem." It’s such a shame to waste time and pass it by in pain.”
"Fighting in the harem is not suitable for you!"
"You have a broader world, your battlefield should be above the court, above the battlefield..."
"Who says women are inferior to men?"
"You should have greater achievements and a brilliant future of your own!!"
"So, I want you to disguise yourself as a man, enter the Ministry of War, continue to study the art of war, and command troops and horses..."
"After you get acquainted with the Ministry of War, I will hand over the Royal Forest Army to you, and I will leave the matter of the imperial city's internal defense to you from now on."
Empress Liang Zhao kept talking, but Liu Qing's expression became weirder and more confused the more she listened...
Empress Liang Zhao soon noticed that Liu Qing's expression was a little strange, and gradually stopped and looked at her.
Liu Qing groaned and murmured: "Your Majesty, that...that...I don't have such a big ambition. I don't want to go to the Ministry of War, nor do I want to honor my ancestors and achieve a great career." ..."
Empress Liang Zhao's expression froze and she thought to herself: It's bad, the showdown is too early...
