Chapter 320 Going out for a stroll?
Seeing Jin Yiwei Qianhu whispering to Gao Yu, the old servant had already raised his heart.

Hearing Gao Yu calling him, he rushed over to him.

"Yes, sir."

The servant carefully helped Gao Yu up from the ground.

Behind.

Seeing this scene, the scholars all fell silent, and then began to discuss in a low voice.

"Gao Lao got up at this time, is he going to argue with those shameless people in the palace?"

"Those guys in the palace are unreasonable and have no bottom line. Elder Gao should reason with them!"

"That's right! If we continue to compromise like this, our Great Zhou Kingdom will be destroyed!"

As the scholars said, they all looked at Gao Yu eagerly, hoping that the respected elder Gao would lead them to fight against the regent who came from Qian Kingdom!
however.

What happened next stunned them.

After Gao Yu stood up from the ground, he didn't walk towards the palace, nor did he walk towards the royal guards, but turned around slowly and walked in the opposite direction.

"This"

Seeing this scene, everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, not knowing what happened.

Until Gao Yu left here without saying a word.

Only then did they realize that Elder Gao had chosen to give up at this juncture!
Obviously not afraid of death, saying that he wants to stay innocent in the world.

Why did Jin Yiwei leave in despair as soon as he stepped out?

this moment.

Similar questions appeared in the minds of the scholars.

At the same time, a sense of despair and powerlessness of being betrayed and abandoned swept over like a tide, making them instantly plunge into grief and anger.

"At the most critical moment, Elder Gao actually chose to run away! He...how could he be like this!"

"Thousands of scholars in southern Jin put their hopes on Mr. Gao. We scholars also spared no effort to stand by his side. Facing Jin Yiwei, he abandoned us and turned away without looking back. He You are worthy of my enthusiasm for waiting!"

The scholars stared wide-eyed, looking at the direction where Gao Yu left, and said indignantly.

In front of the palace gate.

Jin Yiwei's expression was still very flat.

It was as if everything that happened in front of them had nothing to do with them.

Jinyiwei Qianhu, who was the leader, stood in place, waiting quietly.

After a stick of incense.

The crowd gradually quieted down.

Jin Yiwei Qianhu walked up to the scholars, looked around for a week, and said indifferently: "You are the pillars of the future court, don't ruin your bright future because of a single mistake! Your Majesty has decided that this year and next year And three more Enke games in the next year! You have been studying hard for more than ten years, isn't it just for the future spring breeze to be proud of horseshoe disease and see all the flowers in Jinnan in one day?

In order to rectify the administration of officials, His Majesty and His Majesty the Prince Regent have dismissed many mediocre officials who were sitting on vegetarian meals. The vacant positions need to be filled by new scholars.

Therefore, Enke in the past few years is an excellent opportunity for you to realize your ideals. Don't listen to the rumors circulating in the market, and cut yourself off from your majesty and the court! "

These remarks are well-founded and convincing.

When the scholars heard this, their expressions all changed.

They knew in their hearts that this Jinyiwei Qianhu was right.

Those officials were dismissed, and the vacant positions needed to be filled.

In order to attract talents, His Majesty will definitely open Enke.

Moreover, in order to prevent the Supreme Emperor from "resurrecting from the ashes", he will definitely reuse Enke's top Jinshi in the past few years.

This is undoubtedly an excellent opportunity for scholars like them.

That being the case, why should they make trouble here and make trouble for themselves?
Just when many scholars showed sudden expressions.

Jin Yiwei Qianhu spoke again: "His Royal Highness the Regent has an order. No matter what the people who have caused trouble these days, no matter what words or actions they have disobeyed the court, as long as they change their ways and leave the palace gate, the court will forget the past!

His Royal Highness the Regent has always had a solid reputation, and you must all know that since His Highness the Regent said let it go, after you leave here, no one will trouble you! "

Speaking of this, the conversation changed, and his tone suddenly turned cold.

"But! Anyone who insists on going his own way and does not realize his mistakes will not only go to prison, but after he comes out, he will also miss the imperial examination for life!"

As soon as this word comes out.

Many scholars who wanted to enter the imperial court to realize their ideals immediately felt withdrawn.

Even Lord Shangshu who was dismissed chose to leave.

What's the point of them staying here?

Furthermore, there is nothing wrong with the regent rectifying the administration of officials and getting rid of officials who have vegetarian meals in place of corpses.

If the imperial court did not have so many officials with corpses and vegetarian meals, the regent would not be in charge of Jinnan.

A few scholars thought so, no longer hesitated, turned around and left without saying a word.

The rest of the scholars saw that there was someone leading the way, so they didn't hesitate anymore and walked away.

Just half a stick of incense.

There are less than 100 scholars left in front of the palace gate.

Originally filled with righteous indignation, the scholars who were at the forefront now feel a little embarrassed and leave directly.

at this time.

Jin Yiwei Qianhu suddenly looked at Jin Yiwei behind him, suddenly raised his voice, and almost roared: "Draw your sword!"

moment.

There was a sound of metal crashing.

The brocade guards pulled out their knives in unison, and stared at the remaining scholars with cold eyes.

Jin Yiwei Qianhu also set his eyes on these scholars, and said coldly: "After half a stick of incense, all these people will be arrested and imprisoned!"

"Yes!"

Jin Yiwei's voice was uniform, and a strong killing intent burst out of his eyes.

These scholars have never seen such a scene before. Seeing the shining sword, they only feel their legs go weak, and they almost kneel on the ground.

That is, the little bit of dignity left by the scholars barely supported them from kneeling down.

Time passed minute by minute.

Just for a moment.

Some people couldn't bear the huge psychological pressure, turned around and slipped away as if fleeing.

This time, the rest of the people no longer maintained their ridiculous self-esteem and left one after another.

After half a stick of incense.

In front of the palace gate, apart from Jin Yiwei, it was empty and there was no one else!
Originally, Xie Qian and the others thought that there might be a big mess, but Fang Xiu easily resolved it.

Gao Yu and his disciples, as well as the outraged scholars in Jinnan City, not only did not take advantage of Fang Xiu.

Instead, in a humiliated way, he chose to compromise with Fang Xiu.

As long as this group of scholars can still remember what happened today, they will never be able to oppose Fang Xiu in the future.

After all, this feeling of being pinched in the palm of the hand is really unacceptable!

a few days.

Fang Xiu used practical actions to tell the people in Jinnan City a very simple truth, that is, don't fight against the regent!
What has happened in the past few days.

Whether it is officials, scholars, or ordinary scholars, they all have a deep understanding of this point.

thus.

the next few days.

The entire Jinnan City was calm and peaceful, and no other disturbances occurred.

Those dismissed officials all accepted the reality, packed their bags and left the Yamen.

at the same time.

Li Yaoyue's first imperial edict after returning to Jinnan was drawn up.

The content is very simple. In the next three years, the imperial court will open Enke to recruit talents for the empire.

When the scholars of the whole Dazhou learned about this imperial decree, they were all excited, their heads hung on their beams, and their buttocks stabbed, hoping to get a good result in the next year's Enke.

The second edict that followed was also about scholars.

The imperial court will spend a sum of money to build completely free government academies in various provinces.

As long as children of the right age are sent to study, a certain amount of land tax can be exempted.

Compared with the first edict.

Not many people paid attention to the second edict, and it did not cause much reaction.

But Li Yaoyue knew it in her heart.

When Fang Xiu came to Jinnan, the first practical thing he wanted to do was to set up this completely free official school.

Although this will cost a lot of money and won't achieve much effect in a short time, Fang Xiu still insists on doing it.

Li Yaoyue once had the idea of ​​persuading Fang Xiu, but after thinking about it, even if she persuaded herself, Fang Xiu would not accept it, so she chose to remain silent.

The day after the second edict was promulgated.

Li Yaoyue performed her first early court after ascending the throne in the Hall of Supreme Harmony.

There is a dragon chair in the middle of the Hall of Supreme Harmony.

Next to the dragon chair, slightly in front, there is a chair carved with python patterns.

Li Yaoyue, wearing a dragon robe, sat on the dragon chair.

And Fang Xiu sat beside him.

Such scenes have been very common for hundreds of years.

Generally speaking, when the young crown prince ascends the throne, there will be a queen mother listening to the government behind the curtain.

If there is no empress dowager who is behind the curtain to listen to the government, it is the minister who asks Gu to sit aside and deal with the affairs of the court.

Fang Xiu's position is the position of the Queen Mother and Minister Tuogu.

However, Her Majesty the newly enthroned Empress is not young.

In the first early court, there were not many things to discuss.

It was over in less than an hour.

After all the officials saluted and left.

Except for a few court ladies and eunuchs, there are only three people left in the Hall of Supreme Harmony.

Li Yaoyue, Fang Xiu, and his new bodyguard, Tang Rou.

Fang Xiu stood up from the chair, stretched his waist, looked at Li Yaoyue, and said, "I've been bored in the palace for the past few days, would your majesty want to go out for a stroll?"

Li Yaoyue shook her head lightly, expressing her refusal.

Fang Xiudao: "Since that's the case, do as His Majesty said. After leaving the palace, I will hang out with Your Majesty."

"."

Hearing this, Li Yaoyue opened her mouth, wanting to say, I don't want to go out for a stroll.

However, he noticed Fang Xiu's eyes.

She immediately realized that it was not that Fang Xiu hadn't heard clearly.

He was just playing dumb.

Even if he said that he didn't want to go out for a stroll, he would still say that His Majesty wanted to leave the palace.

have to say.

What she, the empress, does is no different from a puppet.

but.

Her ability to become an empress is inseparable from Fang Xiu's desire to support a puppet.

She was already mentally prepared.

"Come here, change your clothes for His Majesty, and accompany His Majesty on a private visit!"

At this time, Fang Xiu's voice sounded again.

Several court ladies looked at each other, hesitated for a moment, then came to Li Yaoyue with their heads down, and whispered: "Your Majesty is waiting for you to change clothes."

Li Yaoyue was silent for a few seconds, then nodded lightly, and walked towards Qianqing Palace.

Fang Xiu didn't follow, but looked at Tang Rou beside him, raised his brows and said, "Jinnan is no better than Chang'an, there are many people who want to die alone here, as the only personal bodyguard, you will go out to hang out in the palace later , You have to cheer up very much."

Tang Rou always felt that his words had other meanings, but she didn't know what it meant, so she just remained silent.

After half an hour.

Fang Xiu, Li Yaoyue and Tang Rou, under the protection of the shadow guards, came to the bustling streets of Jinnan City.

Wandered aimlessly for a while.

Fang Xiu suddenly said: "It seems that the situation in southern Shanxi is better than expected. Although the people can't talk about living and working in peace and contentment, they can barely make ends meet. After half a year of war, it is not easy to maintain this. It seems that Xie Qian is still Those with some skills can be regarded as mediocre."

talking.

Fang Xiu stopped, pointed to the shop not far away, looked at Li Yaoyue, frowned, and asked, "How do you feel when you see the shop in Zhenbaozhai here?"

Li Yaoyue looked in the direction of his finger and saw the familiar three words Zhenbaozhai, a trance appeared in her eyes.

For a moment, she actually had a feeling of time and space disorder.

After all, the decoration of Zhenbao Zhai branch in Jinnan is almost the same as that of Chang'an Zhenbao Zhai.

There was silence for a moment.

Li Yaoyue suddenly asked, "When do you plan to return to Chang'an?"

Fang Xiu was not surprised that she would ask this question, and replied flatly: "When Jinnan is completely stabilized, it will be three or four days later."

three or four days later
Li Yaoyue fell into silence again.

I do not know how long it has been.

She asked again, "What are you going to do with me?"

Fang Xiu heard this, glanced at her, and said: "Your Majesty is a man of gold, so it's not appropriate to use words like disposing of it."

Your Majesty's body of gold
In your eyes, when did you put me in your eyes for a moment?
Such thoughts popped up in Li Yaoyue's mind, and she couldn't help but sneer in her heart.

"Your Majesty is the Empress of the Great Zhou Dynasty and the Son of Heaven. You can go wherever you want.
However, Jinnan is thousands of miles away from Chang'an, and the news is not smooth. From now on, many decisions will be made by the meeting of ministers. Therefore, in my opinion, it is better for Your Majesty to go to Chang'an with my ministers. "

Fang Xiu finished speaking.

Li Yaoyue gave a "hmm" and stopped talking.

Seeing this, Fang Xiu moved to her side and said, "Your Majesty really wants to go back to Chang'an with my ministers?"

"."

Li Yaoyue was a little speechless.

She didn't understand how Fang Xiu came to such an inexplicable conclusion.

"If not, why did His Majesty agree so smoothly?"

Fang Xiu looked at Li Yaoyue and said, "Actually, I don't have to force Your Majesty to return to Chang'an. If Your Majesty wants to stay in Jinnan, you can ask me. Maybe I will allow Your Majesty to stay when I am happy." .”

Do not know why.

Fang Xiu tore off the annoying disguise, blatantly showing his strength and control.

Li Yaoyue didn't dislike him that much.

"I won't do that."

It is rare for Li Yaoyue to call herself "Zhen" in front of Fang Xiu, which can be regarded as a response to what he said just now.

After hearing this, Fang Xiu smiled and said, "Your Majesty, don't talk too much, otherwise it will be very embarrassing if the car overturns in the future."

Will it be embarrassing if the car overturns in the future?
Li Yaoyue felt that this sentence was very strange, but she couldn't tell what was so strange.

Just as he was about to respond, he suddenly heard Tang Rou's voice behind him.

"Murderous."
