There is a certain reason why Xiao Yuan is so angry.
An official in charge of local education actually caused his mother to die of cold and starvation when the country first recommended the "Book of Filial Piety" when the country was developing literacy standards for the people.
There is no need to say what this represents. Under the absurdity, it is more like a slap in the face of the country.
At this time, Liu Yuzhi couldn't help it anymore and stepped out and said: "Your Majesty, if what Mr. Zhang said is true, then Yiyang Academy will definitely become a laughing stock. Therefore, I suggest that the investigation be conducted secretly."
"Well..." Xiao Yuan thought about it, nodded and said: "The Prime Minister's words are reasonable. We cannot affect the entire Yiyang Academy just because of Feng Ji. Such a despicable guy can freeze and starve his mother to death. It is conceivable that there may be more to this person than just this."
As he spoke, he added: "Education is the foundation of a strong country. Being a teacher and role model is very important. If everyone is like Feng Ji, will all the students he teaches will forget about benevolence, justice, etiquette, wisdom, and trust? Judging from this matter, there were indeed some oversights in the country's appointment of academicians."
"The Ministry of Rites is responsible for this matter, and the ministers are responsible." Yan Ming took the initiative to stand up.
The forest is big, and there are all kinds of birds. This is not to blame Yan Ming. Xiao Yuan looked at him and said: "For this matter, we should sort out the bachelor's files from all over the country as soon as possible and formulate the standards for the appointment of bachelors. These educational positions are different from others and cannot be When looking at talent alone, virtue is the most important thing.”
"Yes, Weichen will definitely handle it well." Yan Ming accepted the order.
Next, Xiao Yuan named a few more county guards, asked about the governance situation in the county, and then said: "Based on the situation across the country, our Qin State has achieved further development compared to the past. These, all Thanks to the help of all the ministers, the contribution of all ministers also belongs to the country."
"If there was no king, no Qin, and the king worked hard to govern and was wise and mighty, how could I dare to take the credit?" How could Ding Rong miss such a good opportunity to flatter him?
When the other ministers saw this, they all followed suit.
Everyone likes to hear good words. When Xiao Yuan heard this, he smiled heartily and said: "In addition, I have to ask one more question, have you properly handled the placement of the families of the martyrs in each place?"
Mentioning this, Li Minggui immediately said: "Please rest assured, Your Majesty, according to our king's decree, during the year-end festival, all counties in Yong'an County have implemented subsidies for the families of soldiers who died in war as soon as possible."
"The same goes for Wei Chen."
"The same is true for Beiling..."
County guards from all over the country stepped forward one after another.
Xiao Yuan looked like this, nodded, then stood up and said: "Okay, it's getting late. Let's end today's court meeting. All the ministers have entered the capital and rushed all the way. Don't go back to the post house at noon. My king A banquet has been held in Zhengyang Palace to entertain all the ministers, so I must get drunk before resting today."
"Thank you, Your Majesty——" When people heard this, they naturally shouted in unison.
"My lords, move." After Xiao Yuan finished speaking, he was the first to step off the throne.
People hurriedly saluted, then followed him and filed out.
The Qin Palace is very large and has many palaces. The Chaoyi Hall is some distance away from the Zhengyang Palace.
In the process of going to the banquet, the ministers naturally walked in groups of twos and threes.
On the way, Xu Rong couldn't help but pull Jia You, his voice a little anxious: "Sir, tell me why the king has not awarded the title of Eighth Knights today."
"Why are you in a hurry? Before the edict is issued, the emperor has his own principles." Jia You said.
"This, this, I'm worried..."
"It's useless to worry, but in my opinion, there should be no problem with your military exploits." Jia You comforted him, and then patted him on the shoulder to reassure him.
Along the way in the palace, imperial guards could be seen standing guard everywhere.
Not long after, everyone arrived at Zhengyang Palace.
This is a special palace banquet place, so it is very spacious.
In the hall, the seats for the officials had been prepared in advance. After the ministers came in, Xiao Yuan sat directly above him, stretched out his hand and said: "Everyone, please take your seats."
"Thank you, Your Majesty——" People bowed their hands and bowed, then divided up and began to find their seats, each with a case in front of them.
At this time, it was almost noon. When all the officials were seated, the palace maids also began to carry wine and food, filing in and placing them on the officials' cases one by one.
After the food and wine were served, a group of graceful singers entered the room. After giving greetings, at Xiao Yuan's signal, elegant music played, and in the center of the hall, the singers began to dance.
When it's time to relax, he won't spoil the fun, and he was the first to pick up the wine glass: "Come on, everyone, don't be restrained, and drink to your heart's content."
He held the cup. How could the ministers dare to hesitate? In almost the same movement, they held the cup with both hands, faced Xiao Yuan, and said in unison: "Together we respect the king——"
This royal palace feast was very lively, with non-stop singing and dancing, and endless laughter. Of course, during this period, there were officials one after another, taking small steps, respectfully coming forward, flattering, and toasting Xiao Yuan. .
The latter also welcomed all comers. At the banquet, they did not discuss any political matters, but drank happily with all the ministers.
In an excellent atmosphere, Xiao Yuan was obviously a little drunk at the end.
When the banquet was almost over and the ministers bowed and left, he also staggered and unknowingly walked to the harem.
The palace of the beloved concubine.
Shang Rui was not here at this time. There was only the concubine in the room, sitting in front of the dressing table, combing her black hair.
There was a clang on the door, and someone suddenly pushed it open from the outside.
The sudden movement also startled the concubine, and she subconsciously let out a soft breath.
She turned around, slightly panicked at first, but when she saw the person clearly, her beautiful eyes flashed: "Prince Qin?"
"Yes, it's just me." Xiao Yuan drank a little too much. While speaking, his eyes were fixed on the concubine, and he walked over directly.
"Prince Qin, you...what do you mean?"
As if seeing some kind of fire in his eyes, the concubine looked a little panicked.
She is beautiful, with seductive curves at the corners of her eyes, delicate light makeup, and seductive red lips.
Coupled with the beautiful eyes that are now slightly dodged, it is even more attractive.
After walking up to her, Xiao Yuan grabbed her wrist, pulled her up and brought her into his arms.
There was another soft cry, and the concubine's red lips opened slightly. While feeling Xiao Yuan's chest, she also said in a panic: "Prince Qin, what are you going to do?"
"What do you think?" Xiao Yuan hugged her soft waist and leaned close to her ear, "My body smells so good, my body is so soft."
These words were so explicit that the concubine's heart beat faster. Before she could react, Xiao Yuan picked her up again, walked to the bed, and put her on the bed.
She was a little flustered, but more importantly, she was undoubtedly expecting, but her face was trembling as she said: "Prince Qin, you, you are so presumptuous!"
