Mu Qingwan didn't expect that he would suddenly attack her. She smiled awkwardly and laughed:

"Isn't it important to put the overall situation first? Besides, in the future, in order to win over those ministers, more concubines will enter the palace. If I mind them all, won't I tire myself to death?"

The corners of Xia Houlie's mouth curved into a cold arc, and his eyes were frighteningly cold, "The overall situation is more important? That's a very high-sounding statement. I'm afraid you want to escape from this palace and my side right away."

Mu Qingwan's face froze when he said the central thing, and she met his cold gaze. She quickly looked away and said with a twinkling look:

"Haha...haven't I already said that I will help the Emperor gain power and cure the Empress Dowager's illness before leaving?"

But in my heart, I was thinking that in order to avoid long nights and dreams, I had to get him to sign the agreement quickly. Otherwise, there was no guarantee that he would go crazy and refuse to sign one day, which would be difficult.

Seeing that he was still staring at her coldly, Mu Qingwan's scalp went numb, she quickly took another piece of paper from the case, changed the subject and said:

"Now that the three provinces and six ministries system has been discussed, let's talk about the imperial examination system."

Xia Houlie took a deep look at her, his eyes flashed with a dark light, and then he moved his eyes to the drawing.

Seeing that he no longer stared at her, Mu Qingwan breathed a sigh of relief and carefully explained every process on the drawing to him one by one.

The more she talked, the brighter Xia Houlie's eyes became. Especially when it came to the imperial examination, his handsome face could not conceal his excitement. "Keep going."

"The Imperial Examination is the highest-level examination in the imperial examination system. The emperor personally questions the tributes admitted in the imperial examination in the palace to determine the first place. Sometimes the emperor also appoints ministers to be in charge of the Imperial Examination without personally conducting the examination. The admission scores

For the top three: the top three are awarded the title of "Jinshi", the first is the number one scholar, the second is the second place, and the third is the third best; several second-grade names are given the title of "Jinshi origin"; several top-grade names are given the title of "Jinshi origin"; several top three are given the title of "Jinshi"

The title of 'born with the same Jinshi'. The first two, three and three are collectively called Chuanlu, and the first, second and third are collectively called Jinshi. Because the palace examination is set by the emperor, the people also call high school Jinshi students 'disciples of the emperor'."

Mu Qingwan finished speaking in one breath, her throat felt a little dry, so she quickly picked up the tea cup and took a sip to moisten her throat.

Looking up, he saw Xia Houlie's eyes were extremely bright, and his tone had an undercurrent of uneasiness: "A disciple of the emperor?"

"Yes. Disciples of the Emperor." Mu Qingwan nodded, "These people are talents selected by the Emperor himself. Naturally, they are loyal to the Emperor. They safeguard the interests of the country, not the intertwined interests of the family. If the Emperor does not want to be betrayed by the Yun family,

If such a wealthy family is restrained, implementing the imperial examination system is the best way."

"Not only can it break the hereditary phenomenon of the nobility, so that the way to select officials is no longer monopolized by the Yun family, but it can also select talents with real talents from the people for the imperial court. In addition, using Confucianism as the main content of the exam can also

Allowing officials to cultivate their own temperament and reduce the occurrence of corrupt officials is also conducive to the emperor's rule."

Xia Hou looked at Mu Qingwan who was talking eloquently with an unfathomable expression. After she finished speaking, for a long time, the corner of his lips curled up slightly, "I don't know who came from these shocking and unheard-of strategies for governing the country that the Queen presented today."

teach?"

"Forehead?"

Only then did Mu Qingwan realize that the selection of officials in the Xiling Continent, Western Chu, Beiyan, Dongmo, and Nanling still followed the Han Dynasty's imperial examination system. The three provinces and six ministries system and the imperial examination system she just mentioned are indeed true for them.

It is shocking, and the most important thing is that although these two systems are very scientific and complete, but for a young and weak woman like her to speak such a shocking strategy for governing the country, no one wants to doubt it.

It’s also difficult.

If she hadn't been forced by Xia Houlie today, she wouldn't want to use these things as a bet. But now if she said that she came from the 21st century thousands of years later, he might treat her as a monster and beat her to death with sticks.

But if she didn't say anything, with Xia Houlie's aggressive attitude, she might not be allowed to get through at all.

Seeing her hesitation, Xia Houlie's gaze became even more intimidating, and he pressed forward step by step, "Queen?"

Mu Qingwan took a deep breath, suppressed the panic in her heart, met Xia Houlie's suspicious eyes, and started to talk nonsense:

"The Emperor also knows that Qingwan worshiped the old man Wu Yazi as his teacher when he was young, and lived on Piaomiao Peak for eight years. You must have heard of Piaomiao Peak. Rare and exotic animals, exotic flowers and plants are everywhere. I remember that when I was eight years old,

Once in 2010, I discovered a white fox in a mountain stream. The little fox Yuxue was cute. I couldn't put it down when I saw it, so I wanted to catch it back and raise it myself. But it was very clever. I ran after it for a long time.

I didn't catch it, but it took me to a completely unfamiliar place, surrounded by white mist, like a fairyland. I was still young at the time, and I was extremely curious, so I left without caring about the danger.

Go deep."

At this moment, Xia Houlie's curiosity had been completely aroused by her, "What happened next?"

Mu Qingwan smiled inwardly. It seemed that she could take this opportunity to explain all her shocking actions in the future, so as to avoid having to be interrogated by them from time to time.

So he cleared his throat and continued:

"The further I walked in, the less fog surrounded me. When I reached the end, the dense jungle had disappeared from my eyes. What appeared in front of me was a clean and wide official road, surrounded by shops and people coming and going.

It was very prosperous there, and when I walked to the side and asked, I found out that it was another country, and the name of the country was Tang State."

Xia Houlie's expression changed when he heard this, "Another country? Tang Country?"

Mu Qingwan glanced at him lightly and tried her best to pretend to be very calm and serious, "Yes, the Tang State. In that country, the three provinces and six ministries system and the imperial examination system that I just mentioned were implemented, and the empress Wu Zetian there

They also uniquely created the martial arts examination based on these two systems. As the saying goes: 'use culture and education to help the world, and use martial arts to quell troubles.' This martial arts examination is exactly the counterpart to the imperial examination. Every year, one of the six departments

The Ministry of War presides over the martial arts examination, and the examination subjects include horse shooting, infantry shooting, flat shooting, carbine, weight-bearing wrestling, etc., and the martial arts examination cannot only be about force, but also tests military strategies, such as Sun Tzu's Art of War."

"Empress?" Xia Houlie raised his eyebrows, and a sharp look flashed in his eyes: "Can a woman be an emperor?"

Mu Qingwan was irritated by his obvious contempt for women and couldn't help but said angrily:

"Why can't women be the emperor? In the Tang Dynasty, women were the emperor, and the empress was very intelligent and wise. She attached great importance to the development of agricultural production, eliminated current abuses, improved the imperial examination system, eliminated clan notions, and appointed talented people in an eclectic way, which made

Later, the society of the Tang Dynasty stabilized and the economy developed, forming a prosperous scene. Later generations commented that she was "the first to open up the Yuan Dynasty and govern the macro Zhenguan, and the fragrant sword pavilion was the only one to benefit the state." Moreover, in that country, women could study just like men.

, you can serve as an official in the court and serve the country, no less than you men."

After she finished speaking, Mu Qingwan realized one thing. Empress Dowager Yun was also equivalent to Empress Wu back then. If the Empress Dowager hadn't been in charge, she might have become the emperor. However, Xia Houlie has been constrained by everything since he ascended the throne.

The Yu Yun family must have hated an ambitious woman like Queen Mother Yun very much, and she had just made such nonsense in front of him, saying that it was only natural for a woman to be the emperor. Wasn't she deliberately trying to get in trouble with him?

Feeling a little uneasy, she looked at Xia Houlie nervously, but it seemed that he had not thought about that. She didn't know if he was a little frightened by her impassioned speech just now. He looked at her blankly for a long time before he suddenly realized

road:

"No wonder you have so many strange thoughts about monogamy and not allowing your husband to have second thoughts. It turns out it's all related to this experience of yours."

Mu Qingwan was startled when she heard what he said, and then felt happy. It seemed that he believed what she said, "In fact, all people are born equal, regardless of high or low, regardless of gender. It's just that in those people who respect men and women and follow the three obediences and four virtues,

Under the oppression of feudal ideas, over time, even women themselves felt that they were born inferior to men, and they forgot to resist, and could only rely on men to survive like ants all their lives. It is really pitiful and sad."

When she said these words, there was a faint noble and awe-inspiring aura about her. When she said this, it made people feel that equality between men and women should be a matter of course.

And it was because of these damn thoughts in her mind that she would think about deposing the queen and leaving the palace after she became his queen and his wife.

Xia Houlie's mind was full of thoughts, and the more he thought about it, the more irritated he became. He stared at the woman beside him with a fixed look.

At this moment, Mu Qingwan was still immersed in her own thoughts, completely unaware of the murderous look in the man's eyes next to her.

What she just said was completely true to her. I remember that when she read those ancient works in modern times, she felt that she was not worthy of ancient women. Now, although she has fallen into the ancient feudal society, she will never allow herself to become so.

Like those poor women who are jealous of one man competing with so many women, even if she loves that man again, she will choose to abandon him.

What's more, she doesn't fall in love with Xia Houlie now.

Therefore, she will leave this palace sooner or later.

Thinking of this, she suddenly remembered the agreement and said hurriedly: "I have already copied the agreement that the emperor made with me last night. You can see if there are any problems first. If there are no problems, please ask the emperor to seal it."

Hearing her mention the agreement again, the suffocation in his chest increased even more, and he said in a cold tone:

"Mu Qingwan, you are really impatient to get out of the palace. Let me tell you, you don't have to feel aggrieved by marrying me, and you don't have to feel humiliated by becoming my queen. No matter how noble or smart you are,

You are just a lowly person that I can throw away at any time | Bitch, do you think I care about you? I have many women, including you Mu Qingwan. I originally married you with the intention of torturing and humiliating you.

So I sent you back to Xichu, and now you bring it up yourself, I don’t want it! For a shameless woman like you, I will feel dirty even if I look at you one more time!"

At the end of the sentence, he almost gritted his teeth and looked like he wanted to tear her into pieces.

His vicious words hit her face like a whip dipped in salt water. Her face quickly turned pale, and you could almost see the light blue capillaries under the white and tender skin. Her thin body stood there, as if a gust of wind could suffocate her.

She was blown down, but she still stood there upright, with a firm light shining in her eyes as bright as black glass.

"Has the Emperor finished speaking? If so, please stamp and sign this agreement."

Her face was still calm, as if his vicious words just now were about someone else.

He was a little angry and grabbed the two agreements from her hands. Without even looking at them, he took the seal and dipped it in ink pad to cover it. Then he threw it in her face and sneered, "Take it with me."

Get rid of your agreement! But I kindly remind you that you think you have tried every means to get me to divorce you so that you can find He after leaving the palace.

Will Lian Hengzhi renew our relationship? Humph, not to mention that you are no longer a virgin. Even if He Lian Hengzhi doesn't care that you are my worn-out shoes, given his status as the Emperor of Dongmo, I'm afraid he won't be a virgin for the rest of his life.

Guarding you as a woman! What do you want, 'Wish to be with the same person forever'? Go ahead and dream of your spring and autumn dreams."

After saying these words, he was finally satisfied to see the crystal tears rolling down from her eyes. His heart skipped a beat, and then he turned away and strode towards the door of the palace without wanting to look any more.

Just as he walked to the door, he heard Mu Qingwan's cold voice from behind: "Your Majesty, can you return that jade pendant to me?"

Xia Hou turned around sharply. His face was expressionless, but his body exuded an inexplicable coldness that was daunting.

She knew that it was unwise and even stupid to provoke him now, but she couldn't care less. The anger she was holding in her heart made her blood vessels burst. Why should she endure his insults obediently?

?

"Say what you just said again." He approached her step by step, staring at her without flinching.

"Since the Emperor thinks I'm dirty and despicable, fine, as long as you return what belongs to me, I will naturally disappear from your sight and never bother you again!"

The cold aura on his body didn't seem to have any impact on her. She remained cold and calm, and spoke her words clearly every word.

"Things that belong to you?" He smiled coldly, a smile that made people tremble all over, "What a joke! Mu Qingwan, you married me and became my wife and my queen, but you are still thinking about another man in your heart.

, do you know that based on this alone, I can execute you!"

"Your wife? When did Xia Houzhen think of me as your wife? I didn't know!" She smiled sarcastically, "If you thought of me as your wife, you wouldn't push me to the forefront and let others do it for no reason.
