Chapter 74 Maybe, she is the dawn he is waiting for
Seeing Xiao Li sipping a glass of wine, he looked cool and elegant. The young master looked at it for a long time and suddenly said: "I don't know what to call the girl?"
Xiao Li looked over and said quickly: "Song Junzhan, please forgive me if there is anything rude."
"Xiao Li, Li at dawn."
Song Junzhan's expression moved slightly: "Miss Xiao."
Xiao Li put down his wine glass and tilted his head slightly to look at him: "The east wind I have been waiting for has arrived, what about you?"
"Young Master's family doesn't look like ordinary people. What are you waiting for, guarding this teahouse with little business?"
Song Junzhan took a deep look at her and turned his gaze to the window: "Have you ever heard of the imperial examination?"
Xiao Li raised his eyebrows, isn't this world a recommendation system for aristocratic families? Why are there still imperial examinations?
Song Junzhan saw that she didn't know, and explained: "The imperial examination was a system of the previous dynasty, for the purpose of selecting talented people to govern the country. Regardless of their origin, as long as they are scholars with an innocent family background, they can participate."
"But after the founding of our dynasty, Emperor Taizu granted many marquis families to aristocratic families. After that, all the officials in the dynasty came from aristocratic families. After that, no children from poor families could climb to high positions. The aristocratic families controlled the government, evaded the imperial power, suppressed poor families, and cut off the children from poor families. Not to mention the opportunity to display their ambitions, they even enslave them at will and torture them to death with no way to redress their grievances.”
"Ten years ago, the late emperor intended to revive the imperial examination and united many ministers to reform. However, the aristocratic family discovered the intention. All the ministers involved were accused of various crimes and sent to prison and exiled. A few years later, the late emperor also died of illness. From then on, the emperor No one mentioned the imperial examination.”
"I am just an ordinary boy from a poor family. I have a lot of knowledge but nowhere to put it to use. I can only sit in this small teahouse and wait for the opportunity."
Xiao Li didn't speak for a long time, mainly because it was difficult to answer.
How to say that sentence: If you ask me what I don’t have, I can give it to you as long as I have it; but if I really have it and you ask me if I am willing to give it to you, then I may hesitate, because Maybe I really need to give it.
She knew how good the imperial examination Song Junzhan mentioned was for the ancient system, and she also had the ability to help him realize it.
Then you can't accept this casually.
She just wants to kill people, killing them all the way. Although she kills all the people from aristocratic families, the imperial examination changes the structure of the court. She does not want to govern the country for the emperor, so she does not want to get involved in this matter.
This is a script, a cage that traps her. What she wants is to break through the script and return to her original world, not to build any innovative infrastructure here.
"Do you believe you can wait?"
These words were obviously casual and perfunctory, and Song Junzhan didn't care: "It depends on man, and God will always change."
Xiao Li left, Ziyue sneaked in and looked nervously at Song Junzhan, who was still drinking tea: "Shaodong, why did you tell the beautiful sister everything about the imperial examination? Don't you want to live?"
< br>
Song Junzhan asked him: "Don't you like her so much?"
Ziyue sat down, worried: "I like her, but it's not the same thing. The beautiful sister is the golden branch of a noble family. Tell her that if she goes back and tells her family, the consequences will be disastrous."
Song Junzhan raised his hand and touched his head: "Don't worry, even if she can't help us, she will definitely not become our enemy."
Ziyue was very convinced by Shaodongjia’s words: “Why?”
Song Junzhan didn't answer, only thought in his heart: because her surname is Xiao.
Xiao Nai is the national surname.
Dawn is the rising sun. He may know the identity of this girl.
Maybe, she was the dawn he was waiting for.
Thinking of this, Song Junzhan tapped the table lightly, as if he had made some kind of decision: "Zi Yue, go and invite Uncle Jiang up."
——
Xiao Li entered the palace again, because the cowardly and incompetent emperor was blocked in the royal study by the family, and could not even go back to the palace. The emperor issued an order to King Wei and Lou Xi to thoroughly investigate the matter of Changchun Tower, but they could not continue to investigate this matter.
Judging from the speed at which the emperor killed the Gao family, if the investigation continues, many aristocratic families will be killed.
The Gao family has been confiscated, and this matter should end here.
They blocked the situation and talked about persuading and deliberation. In fact, they were preventing the emperor from issuing imperial edicts that they could not control. They were forcing the emperor.
But this time, the Wang family and other aristocratic families seemed to be competing with the Lu family, but they were actually standing on a united front.
We are all in the same quagmire, who can be cleaner than the other?
It wasn't just people related to the Lu family who died in the Changchun Building, not to mention those who were involved in the incident openly, but also those who had participated secretly and were still alive.
The Madam of Changchun House said that their list was also lost. That list must never be made public, otherwise it would really be impossible to end the matter.
Their attitude is also very simple. They will no longer pursue the escaped prostitutes in Changchun Tower, and there is no need to investigate the case in Changchun Tower.
The minister of Dali Temple was beheaded, and the entire Gao family was ransacked. This was considered an explanation to the people, and that was the end of the matter.
In the imperial study room, Xiao Jamyun had not eaten or drank for a day.
Maybe he wasn't so determined in the first place, but seeing the aristocratic family pressing harder and harder, he was driven to bloodshed.
He was an emperor, and these aristocratic families did not take him as an emperor seriously at all.
He would never bow his head, he would fight to the death with them and let them all die.
Dong Changrui stood beside him with the dust in his hand and patiently persuaded him: "I know that your majesty loves the people, but the country and the country are not child's play. Your majesty should put the overall situation first."
"If your Majesty continues to investigate carefully, the world will be in chaos and the country will be unstable, Your Majesty."
Dong Changrui's persuasion was not unreasonable, but according to Xiao Li's previous words, the emperor was now very suspicious that he was speaking for those outside.
Seeing that he was a young emperor, everyone wanted to teach him something.
How could he not know about being an emperor? Do you need a group of people to point fingers?
A group of people outside were forcing him even though he had done something wrong. This damn eunuch was obviously the palm print next to him, but in the end he was talking to outsiders.
These people did not take him as the emperor seriously at all.
The emperor couldn't bear it anymore and was about to get angry when Xiao Li's voice came from outside.
"Hey, everyone is here."
To the emperor, hearing the voice of Qianyian'er was like hearing celestial music.
Completely ignoring the eyes of others, he quickly went to the door, but did not open the door. He looked out through the gap.
Those who came today were all heads of aristocratic families. Most of the highest-ranking officials in the dynasty were from the late emperor's generation, such as Lu Cang and Wang Changwen, who were from the late emperor's generation. At a glance, they were all old men.
Ambition will not fade with age. These gray-haired old men are almost dead but still clinging to their power. Their cloudy eyes are full of shrewd calculations and their ambitions remain undiminished.
"Princess Xuanyang."
Even if they were reluctant, these old men still had to say hello, and they just shouted symbolically, "Don't even think about saluting. It would be good if they didn't let Xiao Li salute them."
