The north wind blows, and the winter night is cold.
The eunuch Dongrong was afraid that Su Hui would be cold, so he burned the stove in the imperial study room very brightly, making the whole room as warm as spring.
Su Hui sat in front of the dragon case and carefully reviewed each memorial.
Su Hanlin's method of quickly reviewing excerpts has not yet been learned by him. He will give patient comments to every excerpt that is submitted.
He wanted the civil servants and generals throughout the country to feel his care and attention, and to let them know that his new king was very diligent in his work.
His hard work and patience were met with an enthusiastic response.
Civil servants and military generals from all over the country were all very enthusiastic, and they would write a memorial no matter what happened.
As a result, Su Hui now has to review hundreds or even thousands of memorials every day, and he has to be busy until late at night before he can rest.
Yet he never tired of it.
Snap!
A drop of sweat slipped from Su Hui's forehead and dripped on the memorial, making the words wet.
Su Hui frowned slightly and found that the room was a bit stuffy. He turned to look at Dong Rong who was waiting aside, asking him to open the window for some air.
But his eyes stopped halfway and fell on the female officer Yan Qinyin.
Yan Qinyin was sitting on her knees in front of a low table with a pile of memorials piled high on it. She was writing furiously over one of the memorials.
These memorials were selected by Su Hui. The contents in the memorials are all similar. They are the praises of local officials praising him as the new king.
Su Hui was too busy to compliment each other with these local officials, but he didn't want to dampen their enthusiasm, so he thought of a way to be lazy and let Yan Qinyin imitate his handwriting to review these memorials.
Yan Qinyin did not disappoint him and completed the task assigned to him very well.
But Yan Qinyin herself was extremely disappointed.
She came to Su Hui's side as the emperor's female official, with great revenge and ready to show off her talents.
She never expected that Su Hui would give her such an insignificant job, and she could neither refuse nor deal with it, so she felt very depressed.
The stuffy room caused sweat to appear on Yan Qinyin's forehead.
A drop of sweat slid down her cheek, slid across her fair and slender neck, and finally disappeared into the slightly fluffy skirt. I don't know where it finally slipped.
Su Hui's eyes were attracted by such a picture.
The beautiful face, the serious expression, the white neck dripping with sweat, and the slightly loosened skirt as the body leaned forward, the invisible scenery, made Su Hui's heart tremble slightly, and a feeling of heat followed. .
Su Hui tilted his head and stared at Yan Qinyin intently. He found that Yan Qinyin, who was serious and serious, exuded an energy that was not inferior to that of a man.
The vigor in Yan Qinyin reminded Su Hui of Su Hanlin's evaluation of her: her heart is as high as the sky, her ambition is high, she can be used but not reused.
"It can be used but cannot be reused... Are you afraid that I can't control this woman?"
Su Hui shook his head and smiled inwardly, feeling that his father looked down on him too much. If he couldn't control a woman, how could he control Da Su's vast empire?
Thinking about it, Su Hui suddenly felt that there was a wild nature in Yan Qinyin, which he couldn't wait to conquer.
Yan Qinyin didn't seem to notice Su Hui's gaze. After approving one memorial, he immediately picked up another memorial, spread it out in front of him, and picked up his pen to read.
This series of movements made her clothes slightly open.
Su Hui looked at the scenery that seemed to be clear but could not be seen clearly. His heart suddenly became hot and his eyes slowly became hot.
Suddenly, Yan Qinyin frowned.
This expression ruined Su Hui's mood, thinking that Yan Qinyin had noticed his peeking and felt rudely offended by him, so he frowned unhappily.
However, Su Hui immediately discovered that this was not the case. Yan Qinyin frowned because of the memorial spread out in front of her.
"Yan Cairen, do you have any questions?" Su Hui couldn't help but asked curiously.
He poked his head in the direction of Yan Qinyin and his eyes fell on the open memorial. He wanted to know what was written in the memorial and why it made Yan Qinyin frown.
"Ah? No... no problem." Yan Qinyin's body trembled slightly, as if he was startled by Su Hui's sudden voice.
She closed the fold, picked it up, walked to Su Hui, held it in both hands and presented it to Su Hui, saying, "Your Majesty, this fold was approved by you. Maybe the junior officer accidentally picked it up by mistake."
Su Hui took the folder, opened it and looked at it.
The excerpt was presented by Zhao Qianyu, a second-rank official in the court, and it was about his resolution to propose the construction of colleges across the country.
He mentioned this during the morning meeting that he planned to advance the academy to every first-level main city.
Unexpectedly, Zhao Qianyu handed over the information in the afternoon, admonishing him not to act too hastily, but to first select four or five first-level main cities to practice, and then slowly implement it nationwide.
Su Hui also felt that building so many colleges at once was indeed a bit rash, so he agreed with Zhao Qianyu's advice.
However, he did not conservatively choose only four or five main cities for practice as Zhao Qianyu said. He planned to build thirty colleges first.
"I see you frowned when you looked at this booklet. You seem to have different opinions. Let's hear it." Su Hui wanted to know why Yan Qinyin frowned.
"This is a major matter in the court, and junior officials dare not overstep it." Yan Qinyin replied cautiously.
"I forgive you. Tell me."
Under Su Hui's urging, Yan Qinyin boldly said: "The junior official feels that Mr. Zhao's thoughts are a little too conservative."
"how to say?"
"Taiping College has been established for decades. We have done enough practice. We are not crossing the river by feeling for stones. The benefits the college has brought to the empire are obvious to all. The junior official feels that we should carry out the college system in a drastic manner. The college has long been The day it is established, the empire will benefit the day earlier." Yan Qinyin said eloquently.
"You're right." Su Hui nodded.
"The humble official's foolish opinion made His Majesty laugh."
"Do you know what the Supreme Emperor said about Mr. Zhao?" Su Hui put the fold on the dragon case and looked at Yan Qinyin and asked with a smile.
"Little officials dare not make wild guesses."
"The Supreme Emperor said that although Mr. Zhao is conservative in his thinking, he is more important in doing things steadily. We need to take big steps, but we must be steady. People like Mr. Zhao can just make us calm down when we advance rashly, and stabilize the results before moving forward."
"The Emperor is wise and wise, and considers everything carefully."
"Then do you know what the Supreme Emperor said about you?"
Yan Qinyin was startled when he heard this, and then he couldn't help but feel a little excited. He never expected that he would be praised by Su Hanlin.
"The Supreme Emperor said that this woman's heart is as high as the sky and she is ambitious. She can be used but not reused."
thump!
Yan Qinyin's face suddenly changed upon hearing this, her legs softened and she knelt down.
The heart is as high as the sky and the ambition is high. These eight words may be words of praise when used on other occasions, but when used in front of the emperor, they are more like words of rebellion, which will make you lose your head.
Seeing Yan Qinyin lying on the ground, trembling in fear, Su Hui couldn't help laughing, thinking that Yan Qinyin was a weak woman after all, and it was not difficult to control her.
Yan Qinyin's hanging skirt made Su Hui's mind tremble.
He stood up impatiently, took a step towards Yan Qinyin, then leaned down and ran his right hand along Yan Qinyin's skirt.
"Haha, Yan Cai's heart is really high." Su Hui grabbed Yan Qinyin's tall breasts and joked like a gangster.
Yan Qinyin blushed with embarrassment and backed away like a frightened rabbit, escaping from Su Hui's clutches.
In fact, this was what she had been expecting to happen, but when it actually happened, she was so scared that she broke into a cold sweat.
"Available but not reusable."
Su Hanlin's comments about her echoed in her mind, making her afraid to climb onto Su Hui's bed.
She knew that if she climbed onto Su Hui's bed, she would have to completely distance herself from government affairs. If she dared to interfere in government affairs while whispering to Su Hui's pillow, Su Hanlin would definitely make her disappear from this world.
She didn't want to be one of those canary-like women in the emperor's harem who were raised by the emperor. She had her own lofty ambitions.
"Your Majesty... Your Majesty may be overheated. Please open the window, junior officer." Yan Qinyin found an excuse and fled from Su Hui in panic.
call--
The window was opened, and the cold wind immediately rushed in and hit Su Hui's face, quickly calming down his hot heart.
"Your Majesty, you have worked hard for many nights. Why don't you just relax tonight and let Yan Cairen arrange for you to have an early rest?" Eunuch Dongrong asked in a low voice.
When Yan Qinyin heard this, her heart was in her throat, for fear that Su Hui would nod in agreement.
But Su Hui shook his head, walked back to the dragon case, sat down, picked up the ink pen and said, "Today is the day."
After that, he collected himself and continued to review the memorial.
This little episode just now did not affect his mood.
Yan Qinyin breathed a sigh of relief, closed the window, walked back to the low desk, and continued her work.
It was not until midnight that Su Hui finished reviewing all the memorials, put down his ink pen, and stretched out.
Yan Qinyin had also finished approving the memorial on the short desk, and was waiting aside for Su Hui to speak as usual, before going back to rest.
But Su Hui glanced at Yan Qinyin, but did not let her rest as usual. Instead, he got up and walked to the soft step behind the screen to lie down. He said, "My shoulders are a little sore. I wonder if Yan Cairen can come over and help her." Shall I give it a squeeze?"
Yan Qinyin's face turned pale when he heard this.
Eunuch Dongrong raised a smile on his lips, gave Yan Qinyin a congratulatory look, and then exited the room.
Yan Qinyin saw Dong Rong's congratulatory look and wanted to kick him to Su Hui.
Click——
The door is closed.
Yan Qinyin bravely walked to the soft pedal and knelt down. She reached out to massage Su Hui's shoulders, but Su Hui turned over and pinned her down.
"Your Majesty, I...I..." Yan Qinyin panicked, but did not dare to refuse, because rejecting Su Hui's request would have serious consequences.
Su Hui's hand had already been put into Yan Qinyin's clothes. He knew what Yan Qinyin was worried about, so he comforted him: "Don't worry, I won't throw you into the harem, nor will I let the Supreme Emperor embarrass you."
"I beg your Majesty to show mercy."
Five o'clock in the morning.
Dongrong knocked lightly on the door and called in a low voice: "Your Majesty, the people are here to take care of everything. You must work diligently and love the people. Don't wait for me to ask for your servants to wash and change clothes for you."
After a while, Su Hui opened the door and walked out, full of energy, radiant and not looking tired at all.
For the first time, he knew that women could be so beautiful. Compared with Yan Qinyin, the concubines in the harem were as boring as wood.
The sun rises in the east.
Zhang Xiaozu closed the wordless heavenly book in his hand, put away the futon, and left the yard.
He first returned the Wordless Heavenly Book and the futon to Zhou Jianlai, and then went to Yueyang Garden to say hello to Huang Daonv and Wang Ruoyu.
After not seeing each other for a few days, the little white tiger has grown up a lot and is being "ravaged" by Ye Wuyou and Qi Xiaoyao who got up early.
Zhang Xiaozu then went to the ancestral hall.
The ancestral hall is large but empty, with only the memorial tablet of Butcher Zhang.
Zhang Guangyao wanted to send people to move the Zhang family ancestral hall in Eternal City, but Huang Daonv stopped him, saying that the Zhang family's roots were in northern Xinjiang, so they could not move rashly and had to give up.
"Old man, when will you come back?" Zhang Xiaopou lit up a stick of incense and muttered.
His eyes fell on Butcher Zhang's extinguished soul lamp on the altar table, and he shook his head and sighed.
Yu Chengyang once told him that if Butcher Zhang returned to Jiuzhou Continent, his soul lamp would light up again after being sensed.
"Does it need to be lit? Can the soul lamp ignite spontaneously without fire?" Zhang Xiaozu frowned in confusion, wondering if Yu Chengyang forgot to mention it.
His words were actually a bit self-deceiving, because he already had a deep understanding of the soul lamp and knew that the soul lamp would burn as long as it was connected to the soul of the person who lit the lamp.
sudden!
Zhang Xiaozu drew a drop of his heart's blood and a little soul power to light Butcher Zhang's soul lamp.
