Most of the officials recommended by ministers have some relationship with them, which is understandable.
As long as they are talented people, there is no need to avoid relatives when promoting talents.
But if you are a useless person, then sorry, even if you say ten thousand words, it will be useless.
Ministers also understand this truth. Therefore, the recommended officials, including their qualifications and achievements, meet the promotion standards, which is equivalent to a push.
Xiao Yuan did not decide on the appointment at the court meeting. Instead, he selected several relatively outstanding officials and asked the Ministry of Personnel to send their files to the study after going to court.
Palace study.
Xiao Yuan consulted the files, studied his past political achievements and official evaluations, spent a long time, and finally decided to transfer Zhang Shanping to Jiyang County Sheriff, Wang Qing to Rongyang County Sheriff, and Zhao Wenhui to Haiyang County Sheriff.
Then there are the thirty-one city county magistrates. Under normal circumstances, most of these are the responsibility of the officials, but Xiao Yuan still went through it.
This work lasted a whole afternoon. He signed and sealed it, appointed officials, and then sent it to the Ministry of Personnel.
Later, he wrote a letter in his own hand and had it passed to Yang Heng.
After finishing his official duties, Xiao Yuan couldn't help but get up and stretch, and came out of the study. Unknowingly, it was getting late in the evening, so he walked to Lu Yunyan's place.
The queen's bedroom.
With nothing to do, Xiao Yuan pulled Lu Yunyan to play chess with her.
The latter was quite reluctant: "I don't want to play with you. You always regret playing chess. It's still interesting to play chess with Xue'er."
Xiao Yuan was happy: "Okay, go and ask Xue'er to come over, let's have a dragon and two phoenixes at night, wouldn't it be beautiful?"
"What are you talking about?" Lu Yunyan pinched him and turned a little red.
"Haha!" Xiao Yuan smiled heartily.
Just at this moment, the maid Fengqing came in to make tea, and Xiao Yuan casually shouted: "Fengqing."
"My servant is here." The latter saluted curtly.
"How old are you this year?"
"Ah?" Not understanding what Xiao Yuan meant, Fengqing glanced at Lu Yunyan subconsciously and whispered: "I am twenty-eight this year."
"Look." Xiao Yuan began to accuse Lu Yunyan: "Look at your empress, it's been so long and you haven't told you a good family. If you don't get married, you will really become an old girl."
"Brother Wang thought I didn't mention it." Lu Yunyan glared at him: "It's Fengqing who doesn't want to. I can't force her to get married."
"Your Majesty, slave... I just want to serve my queen all my life. I have never thought about this." Fengqing also made a big blush.
The four maids of Fenghuaxueyue are still very beautiful, each with their own characteristics and strong martial arts. The youngest Yue Ling is probably in her mid-twenties, but she is already married.
As a woman, Fengqing had of course fantasized about her own marriage, but in her opinion, protecting Lu Yunyan was the most important thing, and everything else could be put aside.
And hearing what she said, Lu Yunyan said: "When you are with me, it doesn't matter whether you are married or not. Even if you are married, you can still be my maid."
"Slave...Slave is afraid that the queen will dislike you." Feng Qing whispered, cautiously.
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Lu Yunyan said: "Look at Hua Yu, Xueman, and Yue Ling, aren't they still the same as before? Today, let's talk about whether there is anyone you like."
"No...no." Fengqing's face was red, she was so embarrassed that her head was almost buried in her clothes, and her fingers were nervously holding on to her clothes: "Everything I do, this slave, depends on...it all depends on the queen."
"Well, I will find a good man for you. Marriage is the most important thing for a woman, so don't miss it for the rest of your life."
Lu Yunyan didn't say anything about her four personal maids. When she said this, she looked at Xiao Yuan with a smile: "Brother Wang, do any of your civil servants and generals still have unmarried wives?"
"Well..." Xiao Yuan touched his chin, thought in his mind for a while, and said: "Most of those old brothers are married and have children, but General Anyuan Jiang Ping is still alone, and he is about the same age as Feng Qing ."
"The generals are good. They are loyal and patriotic. They are all good-blooded men. They are much better than those literati, right?"
Lu Yunyan said happily.
"All slaves...all listen to your Majesty." Fengqing's neck was red and she didn't dare to raise her head. She had met Jiang Ping and had a good impression. He was a very masculine person.
"What do you think, Brother Wang?" Lu Yunyan asked Xiao Yuan again.
Xiao Yuandao: "It is indeed a good match, but I don't know if these two people can be in love with each other. We can't force it."
"How is it possible? She has such a beautiful style and is well-educated." Lu Yunyan said.
"Jiang Ping is loyal and has a lot of military exploits. What's wrong?" Xiao Yuan followed.
"So they are a good match." Lu Yunyan seemed very happy: "Then I will make the decision on this matter. I will ask Jiang Ping later."
"Okay, you are the queen, you have the final say." Xiao Yuanle said.
Lu Yunyan rolled her eyes at him.
The emperor and empress were so shy when they told her about their marriage in front of their faces that they bravely said: "Your Majesty, empress..."
Seeing his appearance, Lu Yunyan understood clearly and wanted to avoid his embarrassment, so he smiled softly and said, "You go down first."
"Yes, I will leave this slave." Fengqing bowed quickly and left.
Lu Yunyan mentioned this matter more than once, which also showed from the side that she valued the four maids of Fenghuaxueyue and did not want them to die alone.
The next day, Lu Yunyan summoned Jiang Ping.
How could the latter dare to be careless? He hurried over. When he saw Lu Yunyan, he hurriedly stepped forward, knelt down and saluted, and said, "Jiang Ping, a humble minister, pays homage to the Queen."
"No need to be polite." Lu Yunyan was sitting in the pavilion and pointed to the opposite side of the stone table: "Sit down."
"I don't dare." Jiang Ping stood up and bent over, his head lowered.
"Jiang Aiqing, don't be formal, please take a seat." Lu Yunyan said again.
"Yes, thank you for the seat." Jiang Ping did not dare to refuse. He sat on the opposite side respectfully. He said he was not formal, but in fact he felt like he was sitting on pins and needles, not daring to raise his head at all.
Fengqing came over at the right time and poured tea for the two of them. She looked blushing and secretly glanced at Jiang Ping.
The latter still didn't know what happened, and was in a state of confusion.
Lu Yunyan thought for a while and said straight to the point: "Jiang Ping, it's like this. I heard from His Majesty that you haven't married yet, and I want to find a good match for you, this charming girl. I wonder if you are willing. "
As he said this, he glanced at Fengqing, who was standing there with her head lowered in embarrassment and her feet almost digging into the ground.
"Ah?" Jiang Ping was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly knelt down and said, "I'm scared."
"Of course, you can't force the marriage. If you don't want to, you can just speak up." Lu Yunyan said gently.
"Your Majesty, don't...don't embarrass General Jiang Ping, I know this." Fengqing whispered, her voice was like a mosquito, thinking that Jiang Ping didn't like her.
After Jiang Ping was stunned, he quickly said: "No, no, no, Wei Chen is willing, Wei Chen is willing! I am grateful for the kindness of the empress. I will treat the charming girl well and respect each other as a guest."
The charming appearance is an absolute beauty, and this is someone who grew up with the queen, so her status is extraordinary.
Jiang Ping was already beaming with joy.
