Zhao Junyao glanced at her.

”You think you know everything!”

”Hehe! Naturally!”

Xia Ruqing continued to joke.

”After all, I’ve been with the Emperor for so long, learning to read expressions and situations!”

Zhao Junyao raised an eyebrow slightly.

”Then tell me, why am I upset?”

Xia Ruqing indeed picked up a book and began to ponder carefully.

Thinking to herself:

Even though I haven’t read many ancient books, I’m still a person from the 21st century, with relatively advanced ideas and knowledge.

She considered the current state of the Imperial Court, the matters Zhao Junyao had been busy with, and what he had just said about Jingfeng.

After deliberating for a while, her eyes suddenly brightened.

”Is it about the officials in Jiangnan and Guangnan?”

After speaking, she felt unsure and quickly asked cautiously.

”Did I guess wrong?”

Regretting immediately for mentioning this.

This is indeed the Emperor’s taboo!

He’s like a dragon.

No matter how good-tempered he is, allowing all scales to be plucked, there are still three reverse scales that cannot be touched!

Treason is all emperors’ reverse scale.

No matter who it is, getting involved even a little, none can escape blame.

Zhao Junyao’s expression didn’t change much.

He silently drank half a bowl of tea, then suddenly sat up solemnly.

”You’re right!”

”It is indeed about the south!”

”I haven’t been eating or sleeping well these days, all because of this!”

Xia Ruqing finally breathed a sigh of relief.

”Fortunately, the Emperor is not angry!”

Zhao Junyao turned to look at her.

”Why would I be angry?”

Xia Ruqing coughed lightly twice and drank half a bowl of tea herself.

”Because... the Harem should not interfere in politics!”

Zhao Junyao raised an eyebrow.

”What does the Harem have to do with you?”

”They are them, you are you!”

Xia Ruqing was puzzled.

”Is there any difference?”

Zhao Junyao turned his head and glared at her fiercely.

”What do you think?”

Xia Ruqing dared not speak anymore.

It’s true that there has always been a rule in the Great Chu Dynasty that the Harem must not interfere in politics.

But whether this ’Harem’ includes the Empress, no one knows for sure.

The Virtuous Empress Wenxian of the forefather, could manage the Harem internally and set the model for the world externally, handling everything skillfully inside and out.

She assisted the forefather in governing the country in an orderly fashion.

Although the forefather had three thousand beauties in the Harem, who could surpass the Virtuous Empress Wenxian?

The couple respected each other as honored guests and grew old together, an exemplar admired by descendants.

The Filial and Prudent Empress Xiaomin of the great-grandfather.

Also a highly virtuous individual, but she was entirely different from the Virtuous Empress Wenxian.

She spent her entire life devoting herself to serving the Emperor.

Respecting her mother-in-law and stepmother-in-law, serving the Emperor.

Maintaining harmony with sisters-in-law and Princess Consorts, treating others with kindness as a model for all women of ennobled families.

She even wrote and published books, personally creating timeless classics like ”The Women’s Precepts” and ”Women Precepts”.

To educate young women on adhering to the three obediences and four virtues, serving their husbands and in-laws as the standard.

Although these books.

Seem like the dross of feudal society to her now.

But she was, at present, in feudal society!

This type of woman was highly regarded in society.

The life of The Filial and Prudent Empress Xiaomin was equally praised by later generations.

These two most distinct examples.

One a model of participating in governance, another of adhering to tradition, without anyone speaking a word against.

Thus, the rule of ’the Harem not interfering in politics’ does not apply much to the Empress.

...

Under the dim candlelight.

Xia Ruqing’s gaze fell on the somewhat haggard face of Zhao Junyao.

His face had slimmed down considerably, and there was some stubble around his lips.

The eyes, once sharp enough to kill, now showed some fatigue and bloodshot streaks.

Could such a powerful man also be worn down by state affairs?

Indeed!

Modern business moguls manage just a large company, yet many suffer sudden deaths.

Zhao Junyao is not made of iron.

Bearing the weight of the entire empire alone, why shouldn’t he be exhausted?

Xia Ruqing bit her lip in thought for a long time, then suddenly brightened up.

”Emperor, if you’re truly troubled, why not hold an additional imperial examination?”

Zhao Junyao nodded.

”It’s rare that you thought of this!”

”I’ve already decreed it. The exam will be held in June this year, by autumn we’ll have a batch of people ready to solve urgent needs!”

Xia Ruqing nodded and boldly spoke again.

”There’s another point!”

”Since the Emperor urgently needs people, why not have someone recommend renowned individuals?”

She suddenly recalled that from ancient poets’ verses.

Many lamented their unfulfilled ambitions and unrecognized talents.

Some even spent their entire lives being overlooked.

Despite their hearts full of patriotism, they never found a Bole.

Wouldn’t this waste their potential?

Zhao Junyao was somewhat puzzled.

”What do you mean?”

Xia Ruqing pondered for a moment and said.

”Just consider how my brother was initially promoted?”

”Xia Tingfeng?”

Zhao Junyao squinted for a while before suddenly remembering.

”It was the year when I saw him fighting in the street!”

”I thought he had potential, so I reluctantly gave him a chance!”

”Unexpectedly...”

Zhao Junyao looked grateful.

”Never would I have thought he’d be so... reliable!”

Stronger than those with formal military backgrounds.

”Haha, so does this make me his Bole?!”

”Qingqing, is this what you wanted to say?”

Xia Ruqing quickly nodded.

”Exactly! The Emperor is wise!”

Zhao Junyao took another sip of tea, pondered for a while, and suddenly stood up, eyes shining.

”Qingqing!”

”I’ve truly been so busy that such an idea only came to you!”

”Your brother is just like that! Who knows how many more there are like him in the world waiting for me to discover!”

Thinking of this.

He was so excited that he couldn’t sleep.

He immediately got up and pulled up Li Shengan, who was sleeping in the neighboring servant’s room.

”To the Imperial Study Room!”

”Summon the Minister of War, Minister of Rites, Minister of Personnel, and others, bring them all to me!”

Li Shengan was so frustrated.

”Emperor, now?”

It was already the second watch, not to mention that all the palace gates were locked, there might even be a curfew in the city.

Why not wait until morning to call people into the palace?

Zhao Junyao glared at him fiercely.

”What? Not now?”

Li Shengan felt a chill down his back, legs weak.

”Emperor, this servant is guilty!”

”This servant momentarily forgot himself, this servant will now have someone relay the message!”

He then took two disciples, accompanied the Emperor, and rushed to the Imperial Study Room.

That night.

Zhao Junyao and several court ministers discussed until late into the night.

Only releasing them at the break of dawn, just before morning court.

It was not known what conclusion was reached.

But from that day on, Zhao Junyao looked much better, all trace of fatigue gone.

Most importantly, he suddenly wasn’t busy anymore.
