Queen of the Black Phoenix

Chapter 386 The Chief of Officials and the Sage

in the dark.

The sound of the car pushing against the palace road made a gurgling sound.

And it's loud.

Shanghai tonight is destined to be a lively night.

There is a curfew in Shencheng on weekdays, and the curfew will only be lifted unless it is a holiday or when the palace has a big banquet.

For the people of Shen, the sources of news are very limited.

It should be deliberately controlled by the imperial court.

Up to now, there are still many people who don't even know that Jing Guo's army has attacked Pingshui City.

Everyone thought that Jing's army had retreated.

There is another princess in the court.

And the monarchs and ministers of the Xi Kingdom actually asked to marry their princess at the same time.

Feeling honored.

Lots of great stuff to talk about.

Of course not everyone is so ignorant.

At least in Shenxue Palace, some people are still very sober.

Many students from Shenxue Palace left and many came.

Always maintain a certain number of people.

Those who left, either entered the imperial court as officials, or returned to their own country, and a small part did not know where they went.

But Shenxue Palace has very strict records.

Shen Xuegong wants to be a place that absolutely teaches and educates people, and even doesn't mind teaching students from enemy countries.

Even the new emperor of Xiguo is a student of Shenxue Palace.

Speaking of it, it is probably the spirit of the scholar.

Because everyone who knows the inside story knows that the general Jing Guo who massacred the city this time is the father of their Shen Xuegong student Ku Muchun, who lives there for a long time.

Ku Muchun has excellent academic performance in Shenxue Palace, and Shenxue Palace has never treated these foreign students differently. Students from Shenxue learn what they study.

Even one day in the future, Kumuchun may also be on the battlefield.

Become a member of the people who raised their knives to massacre the Shen people.

You Jijiu did not attend the ceremony where the princess was conferred on God Bless.

Shenyou can be said to be the first female student in Shenxue Palace.

You Jijiu had observed him before, and didn't know that he was a woman, but he knew that the wolf who came to steal his wine every day was his pet.

The young man named Shenyou has good knowledge, but he rarely ranks among the top. In terms of grades, he is considered mediocre and has always been in the middle.

Not too good, never too bad.

But compared to those other students, Li Shenyou is actually extremely intelligent, because other students worked hard, studying day and night, to get a slightly better grade in the exam, but it was very easy for her.

Even easier than her elder brother Lu Xundu.

Her cohesion is excellent, almost all the big and small things in the preparatory class are behind her shadow.

She is the kind of person who can make people listen to her words, and she has a natural sense of leadership.

The evaluation of Lu Shenyou was made by several gentlemen together.

The evaluation is very high, the first among all officials.

Unexpectedly, she was actually a woman.

Because watching her act is very atmospheric.

She seems a little confused when it comes to small things, and her strategy is mediocre, but she is good at making decisions.

Almost every decision she makes matters.

And now she is a princess, and a princess who is about to be sent away and married.

You Jijiu didn't want to go to the ceremony because he couldn't bear it.

Shen Guo has given one of his most proud students to Jing Guo.

You must know that Lu Xun's evaluation is that those who have achieved first can be sages.

He didn't even have such an evaluation for the tour of offering wine.

Saints.

It is a saint.

Their expectation of Lu Xun is to be a sage.

It is ridiculous that they Shen Guo sent a sage to another country.

It was a foregone conclusion that Jing State's army would attack Pingshui City, and the civil servants of Shen State finally thought of a solution.

First, send the princess to marry.

Second, find a scapegoat.

This time the matter is very serious, so the scapegoat must be bigger.

No one has ever put their minds on Shen Xuegong, but this time, Youjijiu has received the news.

The censor has already written a memorial, and he wants to participate in Shen Xuegong.

It was because of Shen Xuegong's disregard for the overall situation of teaching that he actually taught Shen's military strategy to the enemy, which led to Jing's army defeating Pingshui City this time.

Pingshui City is known as the strongest city in Shen Kingdom. The money allocated by the imperial government from the Ministry of Households to Pingshui City for city defense was enough to build another Pingshui City, and it was also enough to build several circles of walls around it.

But it was easily breached by Jing Guo's army.

Whose pot is this?
Could it be that the city walls built back then were not strong enough?

They definitely can't slap themselves in the face, they can only blame Shen Xuegong.

If Shen Xuegong hadn't taught the enemy people, how could the Jing people have captured Pingshui City so easily.

The most direct evidence is that the general who attacked Pingshui City this time was Kumu Changju, the father of Shen Xuegong student Ku Muchun.

You Jijiu knew the routines of those civil servants too well, because most of the civil servants left from Shenxue Palace.

He felt a little sad.

The wine was delicious, and he drank it in small sips on weekdays, reluctant to spill a little.

Even for the little wolf with a smear of green on its head, it was only a little bit.

It seems very good and suitable for one person and one wolf to drink together.

People are not as good as wolves.

You Jijiu drank and got drunk.

In the drunken dream, it seemed that a wolf ran in and drank his wine secretly.

The wolf still had a touch of green on its forehead, but it was bigger than the last time it was seen.

……

You Jijiu didn't go to the banquet, but Chen Xuejian did.

Supervisor Chen knew Shenyou was a girl from the very beginning.

He remembered that on that snowy day, Shenyou handed him a glass of warm water.

He remembered that God Bless was at the front of the team when the grassland was stained with blood.

She deserves the title of princess.

He wants to go and see it tonight.

Chen Xuejian's wheels are a bit old, very loud, "creaking", and it is relatively far from Shenxue Palace, and there is a traffic jam all the way. When we arrive at the palace, the ceremony is about to start.

Fortunately, he caught up and was not late.

However, the appearance of Supervisor Chen, who has never been a part of the fun, embarrassed some of the officials present.

Seeing him now, I was afraid that he would come and scold people.

He also took a special look at Mr. Chen's boots.

Fortunately, he is not wearing hard-soled official boots today. Although they are thick, they look quite soft. If he goes crazy and whips someone with the boots again, it shouldn't hurt so much.

……

The ceremony is about to begin.

Empress Xiao Zhao hasn't shown her face yet, she is still in the Zhaohe Palace, and the maid Arong is kneading her shoulders.

She is a little tired, there will be a good show tonight.

She needs to act well.

She is the Queen of Shen.

She is also the last woman in the bat tribe.

No, no, there is another one, her daughter Yi Ren.

Xiao Zhao then looked at herself in the mirror, her makeup was very docile.

She asked, "Am I the most beautiful woman in the palace?"

The maid Arong behind her made a voice of "Ahh...".

Nodding desperately.

Empress Xiao Zhao smiled and shook her head: "Of course I am not. Whether it is Concubine Luo, Princess Shenyou tonight, or even Concubine Lu, they all look better than me, but I am the most powerful woman in the palace, and the powerful You can get everything, you can send people to heaven, or you can send people to hell.”

Arong was silent, and continued to press and pinch, his hands trembling slightly.

Fortunately, she is a dumb girl, so she doesn't have to speak.
