"The prince's words are right!"
The queen nodded slowly, cast an approving look at the prince, and said with a smile:
"Such a virtuous man, both civil and military, is able to win three battles with Nangong Kui. The writing brings auspiciousness. Such a virtuous man is rare in our country. I should reward him well!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" The prince thanked him.
"..."
Shao Sikou glanced at the bowing prince, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he sneered in his heart: "Prince, prince, why are you thanking me? I don't even dare to express gratitude on behalf of Su Wenxue!"
But the prince seemed unaware, and then said: "Your Majesty, my sons and ministers greatly admire Su Wenxue's poetic talent. Please send us your grace to transfer Su Wenxue to the East Palace."
"..."
As soon as the prince finished speaking, the queen suddenly looked embarrassed.
However, before she could say anything, she heard Shao Sikou below, looking sideways at the prince and saying, "Your Highness, everything must be done on a first-come, first-served basis."
"What does Shao Sikou mean by this?" The prince was confused.
"The reason why I came to the palace to meet His Majesty is to request Your Majesty to issue an order to transfer Su Wenxue to our Prison Department!" Shao Si Kou said.
The prince was shocked when he heard this. He turned sideways and said to Shao Sikou:
"Young Sikou, are you kidding me? Su Wenxue is extremely talented in poetry. He should come to the East Palace. Besides, Su Wenxue is a scholar. Why should he go to the Prison Department?"
"Your Highness, there are some things you may not know..."
At the moment, Shao Si Kou told Su Xian about Su Xian's "claustrophobic method" to solve three major unsolved cases in the Criminal Department.
Finally concluded:
"Su Wenxu has a rare talent in interrogating prisoners. Even Nangong Kui, the three-captain head, is not as good as him... Therefore, Su Wenxu must come to the Prison Department, and the veteran will treat him as the 'five-capture head' .”
"..."
The prince was surprised for a while, then sneered:
"The ability to torture prisoners? This is a trivial matter. Only poetry and articles are the real skills! If Su Wenxue goes to the Department of Prisons, he will not be able to display his true talents!"
"On the contrary, if Su Wenxu comes to my East Palace, his poetic talent and literary talent will be greatly displayed..."
"..."
In the imperial study room, Shao Sikou and the prince started arguing.
The two refused to give in to each other and both had reasons for recruiting Su Xian.
The prince is trying to gain a living, he must seize this opportunity and snatch Su Xian over at all costs to reserve talents for the future.
Shao Sikou had two reasons. One was to appreciate Su Xian's talent, and the other was to get ahead of Yushitai and recruit Su Xian to avoid falling into a passive situation in the future.
In short, the two of them insisted on their own opinions and refused to give in to each other.
…
The queen looked troubled and sat on the dragon chair for a long time without speaking.
Hearing the argument between Shao Sikou and the Crown Prince, she actually had the idea of recruiting Su Xian as her own...but the thought passed away in a flash, because Su Xian was her favorite daughter.
After a while, the quarrel between Shao Sikou and the prince became more and more fierce, and the distance between them gradually shortened. Their faces turned red, and there was even a tendency to start a fight.
The Queen suddenly felt irritable, slammed the table and shouted: "That's enough!"
The noise in the royal study suddenly stopped, and only the Queen's voice echoed.
The blushing prince and young Sikou retreated to their original positions to sort out their emotions.
"One of you is the current crown prince, and the other is the young Sikou of the Prison Department. You are both respectable people. How can you be so rude and quarrel over a single person in front of me today?"
"The old minister (son minister) knows his crime, please punish him!"
"That's all."
The Queen waved her hand and said slowly:
"I understand your feelings, and I can understand that you all want to recruit Su Xian, but..."
The Queen still had a troubled look on her face.
Shao Sikou and the prince's hearts suddenly rose to their throats.
Finally, the confusion on the Queen's face faded away, and she found a way and said:
"But Su Xian and Su Wenxue are now members of the Lanling Mansion. Putting aside Su Xian's wishes, it will be a big problem for Lan Ling to agree to release him!"
"You don't need to argue anymore. I have made up my mind. I will immediately ask Lan Ling for his opinion. If Lan Ling is unwilling to let me go, then let this matter go!"
"..."
After finishing speaking, the queen immediately ordered a female official:
"Go and prepare the letter. After I have read it, I will rush it to Yingzhou 800 miles away."
"According to the order!"
A female official immediately started writing a book.
Below the imperial steps.
The expressions of Shao Sikou and the Crown Prince changed suddenly, but seeing that the Queen had made up her mind, they knew that there was no way to change the matter. They both shook their heads and sighed, with melancholy expressions on their faces.
But soon, Shao Sikou returned to normal.
The reason why he wanted to recruit Su Xian was, firstly, to appreciate Su Xian's talent, and secondly, because he was afraid that Yushitai would recruit Su Xian first.
The first point actually doesn't matter. From now on, all he needs to do is establish a good relationship with Su Xian. Shao Sikou plans to meet Su Xian in person. He believes that with his old face, Su Xian's talents can also be used by the Prison Department.
There is no need to worry about the second point. The Prison Department can't recruit Su Xian, and the Yushitai can't recruit it, so what are you worried about?
The one who was truly extremely frustrated was actually His Highness the Crown Prince.
But it was useless to say anything now. The prince hesitated several times, but in the end he did not dare to disobey the queen's wishes, so he could only stand there with a gray face...
Soon, the female officer wrote the letter. After the queen read it in person, she ordered it to be sent to Yingzhou immediately.
Shao Sikou and the prince also left the imperial study.
After this incident, the Queen's head finally sobered up completely. She didn't need the female officer to read the memorial, she could review it herself...
Come and try it quickly. 】
In a blink of an eye, it's getting dusk.
The Queen finally finished dealing with the pile of memorials.
She folded her desk and rubbed her brows, and suddenly said: "By the way, I forgot one thing."
The female officials immediately made a gesture of all ears.
"Send someone to the Department of Prisons and urge them to resolve the three major unsolved cases as soon as possible, and then release those who should be released, those who should be subsidized, and those who should be arrested, and those who should be beheaded, beheaded!"
"As you command!"
A female officer went down to make arrangements.
The Queen continued to rub her eyebrows and waved to the other female officials.
The female officials filed out of the imperial study, knowing that the queen wanted to be alone for some time.
In the royal study, the queen stopped rubbing her eyebrows, and her expression became very solemn, without any trace of sadness or joy.
I don't know how much time passed, but the queen, who felt a little stiff, slowly stood up, walked to a row of bookshelves, and took out a small wooden box from a hidden compartment.
Opening the wooden box, there were some small objects, jewelry and the like lying quietly inside.
But the queen poured the jewelry directly on the ground, and then opened a hidden compartment in the wooden box and took out several envelopes with yellowed paper.
She took the envelope and touched it carefully, her movements were slow, gentle and gentle. Her face was solemn, without any trace of sadness or joy, as if she was caught up in some distant memory.
These envelopes are not simple envelopes.
I saw these powerful calligraphy written on the cover: "My dear little baby!"
Then came the signature, and it was the word "Yong Wang"!
