Chapter 1273: 23 Things About the Fake Emperor and the Powerful Officials
Yuan Chizhi walked into the study.
The faces of the courtier who came to recommend the person and the young man who was recommended suddenly changed. Even though they tried to remain calm, one could tell at a glance that they were uneasy.
Shi Li felt no psychological pressure at all. She looked at Yuan Chizhi coming over with a smile on her face. After all, it wasn't her who did anything wrong.
"I pay my respects to Your Majesty."
Yuan Chizhi looked straight ahead as he saluted Shi Li. He casually glanced at the handsome young man, then smiled at the courtier who recommended him, "Is this the talent recommended to Your Majesty?"
The voice was calm, without any trace of unpleasantness, as if it was just a trivial matter not worth mentioning.
The courtier turned pale with fear, hesitating for a long time, and finally gritted his teeth and said to Shi Li: "Your Majesty, I failed to supervise and recommended a mediocre person. Please punish me, Your Majesty."
Shi Li couldn't help but sneer in her heart.
This court official was also interesting. He was very courageous and became cowardly when asked by Yuan Chizhi. How dare he send a beautiful boy to himself?
But she was not interested in exploring the reason and just waved her hand cooperatively.
"In that case, I will pay him one month's salary and take him back to reflect on his mistakes."
I guess after this incident, things will be quiet for a few days.
The court officials retreated tremblingly with the beautiful young man, and the eunuchs also retreated tactfully, leaving the study to the two of them as usual.
Shi Li tilted her head and looked at Yuan Chizhi, and asked curiously: "Are you angry or not?"
Yuan Chizhi still smiled and walked up to her and held her hand.
"I'm angry at these people who don't know their limits, but I'm not angry at you."
He naturally knew that Shi Li's throne was stable, and the people below would always have all kinds of absurd thoughts, which had nothing to do with Shi Li, so naturally they would not vent their anger on her.
A mature, rational and emotionally stable man is really charming. Shi Li blinked at him and always felt that she had been craving for sex recently.
In order not to appear too anxious, he quickly changed the topic.
"So I am going to issue an edict tomorrow, allowing women to participate in the imperial examinations and be recommended to serve as officials just like men. What do you think?"
"But the achievements made by the girls' school are enough to shut up the stubborn ones."
Yuan Chizhi also changed the subject.
When the two of them were talking about serious matters, they were just the king and his subject, and personal feelings were never mixed in.
Clear boundaries.
History always changes inadvertently. With Shi Li, the first empress, as a pioneer, countless outstanding women emerged in the history of the Jing Dynasty, shining in various fields and making a significant mark in history.
As for the empress's only husband, Yuan Chizhi's historical evaluation is no different from before.
Those who like him praise him as a capable minister who can lead the army to fight against the enemy and govern the country and maintain peace at home, and he is a man of rare talent.
People who dislike him denounce him as an ambitious person who has always wanted to control the empress to achieve his own ambitions and harbors evil intentions.
But none of this matters. Yuan Chizhi never cared about how history would evaluate him.
Anyway, what he wanted was already firmly in his hands.
During Shi Li's reign, the country was peaceful, no foreign enemies dared to invade, and the people lived and worked in peace. All officials were honest and upright, and dared not show any favoritism or corruption.
Occasionally, there would be people who took risks and would always be caught by Yuan Chizhi.
Who could possibly fish in troubled waters under the nose of this former top corrupt official? It is absolutely impossible.
Later versions of the story were spread spontaneously by storytellers, which added many twists and turns to the love story between the empress and the emperor, attracting more people to applaud and cheer in teahouses.
The only thing that remains unchanged is that they are a pair for life, and they truly stay together until they are old.
It was a unique epic of prosperity.
[To be honest, mermaids in fairy tales are just so-so. When it comes to beauty, we have to look at our own mermaids! ]
[The mermaids are on the shore, looking at the moon, the scene is so beautiful! 】
[Are you sure the person above is not coveting the pearls that the mermaid left behind? ]
【Don’t tear down the difficult times!!!】
Shi Li looked at the comments after the live broadcast room opened and swallowed silently.
Okay, okay, after being a eunuch and then a mermaid, she can’t be a human being for once, right?
Unfortunately, whether or not you are a human being is not up to you.
The next second, [Anchor, what do you think? ] slowly floated across the public screen, and Shi Li sighed in resignation.
Let her be a mermaid. What if she is lucky enough to be an ordinary person? Anyway, seeing the mermaid means the mission is accomplished!
