Chu Nanyue did not reply. They are not friends, though they are not enemies at the moment. She won't worry about Xu Qingchang, and people who test each other will never be able to put their hearts in their hearts.

But Xu Qingchang's words probably surprised Chu Nanyue.

She originally thought that Xu Qingchang was just a person who had relied on the Xu family to get to where she is now, but today she knows that Xu Qingchang attaches great importance to the overall situation of the Xu family in her heart, and she knows that he is far from being as useless as he seems.

But Xu Qingchang is not really selfless. He made sacrifices for the Xu family, naturally wanting the Xu family to give him more help.

It's just that Xu Qingchang and Chu Nanxin's unintentional marriage doesn't know how it will end in the end.

Xu Qingchang's words are true.

The next day, in court.

The emperor and his ministers really discussed the establishment of a martial arts test and the election of a martial champion. Compared with civilian officials, military attaches lack many channels for promotion. In his early years, he was able to enter the military camp for training, and made military achievements and then became a general. Now in times of peace, if you want to become a military attaché, you have to rely on your relationship and means.

Family privileges are a taboo for the emperor.

On the surface, this matter was first proposed by the Ministry of Rites. But in reality, it was the emperor's own will.

At the beginning, the discussion was quite smooth and harmonious, but when it came to the specific departments in charge, there was a controversy.

Lord Shangshu Wang of the Ministry of Rites hanged himself because of his son's affairs, and now it is Qin An, the Lord of Qin, who replaces him.

"Your Majesty. Since everything is in charge of the cultural examination of the imperial examination, the Ministry of Rites is responsible for the military examination, so the military examination should naturally be handed over to the Ministry of Etiquette to be responsible for it. Qin An said.

"Your Majesty, the Ministry of Rites is responsible for the cultural test, this is a matter of course, and I won't say anything more. However, the matter of the military test should be more in contact with our military department, and Weichen really thinks that it is more appropriate for the military department to be responsible. Meng Yuan, the secretary of the military department, tried his best to refute.

Because in the final analysis, talents such as Wu Zhuangyuan will eventually enter the military department. The Ministry of War is unwilling, and its own talents have been screened by the Ministry of Rites.

Chu Nanyue silently looked at the two sides. They seemed to be very unconvinced by each other, but because they were now above the court, they didn't quarrel too arrogantly.

It seems that the two sides have different attitudes. The Tanglin system followed the previous dynasty, which was originally for convenience, but now it has added a lot of trouble.

When Chu Nanyue talked to Xu Qingchang yesterday, she thought that this errand was firmly in the hands of the Ministry of Rites. I don't want the military department to worry about it.

Xu Qingchang naturally maintained the book of the Ministry of Rites, and he came out and said: "Your Majesty, since this dynasty, the Ministry of Rites has been conscientiously assisting the emperor. ”

Probably the Ministry of Rites didn't expect that this matter was already halfway through, and the emperor personally ordered it. As a result, he killed the people of the military department halfway, and he was bent on robbing this errand.

The two sides quarreled, and the emperor was also embarrassed.

At this moment, Dongling Yan opened his mouth: "General Chu." Among the military generals of the Manchu Dynasty, you are highly meritorious. I don't know if General Chu thinks it's better to go to the Ministry of Rites or to the Ministry of War? ”

As soon as the words fell, everyone looked at Chu Nanyue. Dongling Yan, who was also looking at Chu Nanyue, showed a triumphant smile,

It's a lot of trouble. Originally, the dispute between the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of War had nothing to do with her, Chu Nanyue. Donglinyan's words made everyone care about her opinion.

Chu Nanyue hesitated and didn't speak, when he heard the emperor also say: "General Chu, since this is the case, you might as well tell me your opinion." ”

Chu Nanyue lowered her eyes and pondered, whether this matter was under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Rites or the Ministry of War alone, it would inevitably offend the other party. Although I choose moderation now, it feels too conservative, but it is also safe.

So Chu Nanyue said: "The last general thinks that it is better to hand over the preparatory work in the early stage to the Ministry of Rites to complete, just like a literary exam." The specific matter of selecting talents in the later stage will be handed over to the Ministry of War. Wouldn't it be the best of both worlds? ”

"Okay." The Emperor nodded appreciatively. "What General Chu said is reasonable, then let's do what General Chu said."

"Wechen obeys." The two said to the emperor.

Chu Nanyue breathed a sigh of relief, looked at the Ministry of Rites Shangshu, and the expressions of the two of them were not too bad, and they didn't raise any more objections, probably accepting it calmly.

She thought that this matter had nothing to do with her, but she heard Zhao Jingyu ask for help: "Your Majesty, although it was handled by the Ministry of Rites in the early stage, the Ministry of War must still be at ease, and Weichen asked General Chu to assist from it, which is also regarded as an overseer, and asked the emperor to agree." ”

Chu Nanyue frowned, but saw the emperor laughing: "The Ministry of Rites is smart and talented." Zhao Aiqing, I agreed. ”

Although Zhao Jingyu is young, he is also dedicated to the Ministry of Rites and knows how to fight for the Ministry of Rites. The Ministry of Rites Shangshu was looking at Zhao Jingyu with satisfaction.

Zhao Jingyu was overjoyed, and hurriedly thanked him: "Thank you, Your Majesty." ”

"The last general will live up to the emperor's trust!" Chu Nanyue also replied.

Although the military department was at odds with Chu Nanyue, he also knew that Chu Nanyue would not help the Ministry of Rites, so naturally he didn't say anything more. There was only Dongling Shuo alone, looking at Chu Nanyue's eyes with worry.

After getting off the morning court, Donglin Shuo had no intention of leaving earlier, but waited for Chu Nanyue behind him.

"Lord Chu." Tanglin shimmer called.

"Sixth Highness, I know what you want to say." Chu Nanyue said.

Tanglin Shuo's thin lips pursed slightly: "General Chu, even if you know me, I have to say one more word, it's good to compromise, and I don't have to do my best." ”

This is a saying that is not out of sight. Between the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of War, it was suggested that Chu Nanyue should be a middle-of-the-road person, and he would not bother to work hard for any of them, so he would avoid them using Chu Nanyue as a tool.

Chu Nanyue looked at his undisguised concern, and his tone was much gentler than usual: "I will only do what the emperor orders, and His Royal Highness the Sixth can rest assured." ”

"Hmm." Tanglin Shuo was also relieved.

She will not get involved in the dispute between the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of War. But it's interesting to say, Dongling Yan and Zhao Jingyu are both from the Zhao family behind them, and this time they really stood on the same side and deliberately involved Chu Nanyue.

And between Xu Qingchang and Zhao Jingyu, the family relationship is average, and the relationship between the two is also average. But above the court, after all, each is his master. Their dispute reflects the dispute between the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Rites, as well as the dispute between the Xu family and the Zhao family.

After a few short exchanges, Tanglin Shuo had already left and went to the queen's palace.

And Chu Nanyue followed the crowd out of the palace slowly, and Xu Qingchang and Zhao Jingyu walked in front, but there was a long distance between the two.

After leaving the palace, Xu Qingchang and Zhao Jingyu were in two directions, so they quickly got into their own carriage.

Zhao Jingyu was also about to get into the carriage, but saw a petite figure walking towards him.

"Xin'er?" Zhao Jingyu was surprised.

The carriage of the Zhao family just blocked Chu Nanyue's way, so Chu Nanyue had to wait there and listen to the conversation between the two.
