Chapter 578 Extra

But even if you are dissatisfied or don't understand, you have to do it.

Bei Jingchu did not make drastic changes at the beginning, but abolished the rule that businessmen were not allowed to take the imperial examinations.

Later, the rule that slaves and people of low status could not be subject to imperial examinations was abolished.

It is hard to find a saintly person, and maybe one of them is hiding among these people of bad backgrounds.

Wasn’t the famous general Changping Hou actually a horse slave?

If his sister had not entered the emperor's harem, such a person would have been buried.

There was no longer any title of the most powerful general who was later granted the title of Marquis of Langjuxu.

There is nothing you can do about a poor background, but you can’t block someone’s path to upward mobility.

Now that Bei Jingchu no longer has a system to discover the real talents, she simply gives everyone a chance to see who can get in front of her.

As for those who object?

That slaves are prone to become disloyal?

She still refuses to listen. It's none of my business. As long as she has no ill intentions towards me, that's enough.

Every time something new comes out, no matter how big or small, it will affect the interests of some people.

Although no one dared to discredit her openly, she could not resist all kinds of innuendos and slanders.

When she went to pay her respects to the Empress Dowager, she heard some rumors and was afraid that she might be upset, so she said a few words to comfort her.

Bei Jingchu lamented in her heart that the news in the harem flowed too quickly. It seemed that the Empress Dowager also had spies in the previous dynasty.

Fortunately, she didn't care. If the water is too clear, there will be no fish. As long as she sits there for a day, she can suppress countless evil spirits and monsters.

Or maybe the grandmother knew that she didn't care, so she dared to mention these things in front of her.

Bei Jingchu didn't show any of his thoughts, but smiled softly, "Most people in the world are mediocre people who just go with the flow, and only a few are sober people."

"Don't say that the entire Manchu dynasty is made up of talents selected through the imperial examination. There are only a few truly talented people, and they are all replaceable."

"I will not bother myself with mediocre people. I only need to promote talented people. No matter what they do, they dare not say no to me."

The Empress Dowager was relieved. She coughed twice and took a long time to catch her breath. After hesitating for a while, she asked, "Did Chu'er ever blame Grandmother for not helping you in the past?"

Bei Jingchu was a little helpless: "I know that Grandmother and Aye share the same mind, and Chu'er is not an ignorant person."

Smelling the pungent smell of medicine in the hall, she felt a little sour in her heart.

"I am very busy and cannot be with you all the time. Jiujiu is married now. If my mother is bored in the palace, please send Yanyu to fulfill her filial duty and take care of that little naughty boy."

The Grand Empress Dowager smiled, as if reminiscing about their childhood, and shook her head, saying, "I am not as healthy as I used to be. It is a family joy to have one child living in Renshou Palace. It would be troublesome if there were more. I can't watch you little brats playing around like before."

How many more people?

Bei Jingchu understood what she meant and asked, "Which young man does the great mother like?"

The Empress Dowager wanted to raise a lovely child to relieve her boredom. It was just a small thing. As long as the child could show her filial piety, it would be fine for her to choose anyone she liked.

Although children are noisy, an elderly person who is about to die will become younger and feel more at ease when he sees energetic children every day.

As long as you are in a good mood, it will be better for your health than any panacea.

The Empress Dowager tentatively said, "After Zhao Yu died, his wife was diagnosed with pregnancy and left a posthumous child."

Bei Jingchu was stunned for a moment.

Perhaps because she was afraid that Bei Jingchu would not agree, the Empress Dowager's eyes were moistened and she looked a little sad.

"Sister Qiu was so kind to me and Heng'er, but I didn't take good care of her daughter. Even her two grandchildren died. I don't have any descendants at all."

"But the government is more important. I have to take a step back on these personal affairs. I understand that."

So both times, she did not try to stop it.

The country is more important than anything else, so she is still sober.

But......

"Now that Zhao Yu has left behind a daughter, I still hope that I can take care of her a little to make up for what I said to Sister Qiu. We have let her family down too much."

Bei Jingchu's eyes moved, and she didn't know what she was thinking about, so she said, "That's good. I will pass the child to my cousin Qin, and make him a princess, to carry on the family line."

The Empress Dowager was even more relieved.

To her, it didn't matter whether Zhao Yu could bear this honor or not; she just wanted to take care of Sister Qiu's bloodline.

If the little girl can get a title, it will be a guarantee for her life.

Now everyone is happy.

After leaving the Grand Empress Dowager, Bei Jingchu had to pay his respects to the current Empress Dowager.

After the new emperor ascends the throne, he will confer a title on his biological mother. Bei Jingchu also needs to set an example of filial piety for the world to see.

Secretly, she did not want Qi to have any share of her glory, so she thought of choosing between Concubine Fang Gui and Concubine Xian to be her biological mother.

It just depends on who to choose.

Bei Jingchu was not the kind of person who would cause trouble for himself, so he simply let the two of them discuss it among themselves.

Zhang Xiaqin thought it would be difficult, but Concubine Xian gave it up directly.

She felt guilty and advised Concubine Xian: "I know you have never been competitive, but you can't be too noncompetitive. For such a big thing..."

Concubine Xian lowered her eyes and said, "I did this from my heart. The position of Queen Mother is an unparalleled honor, but it is not what I want."

"I have already discussed this with Her Majesty and asked her to let me leave the palace and travel around the world."

Zhang Xiaqin still didn't quite believe it. This was her true feelings. She always felt that she was just giving in to her.

Perhaps people who pursue glory all their lives cannot understand free birds.

Concubine Xian was helpless and said, "I don't compete with the world, just because these things are like icing on the cake for me, it doesn't matter whether I have them or not. If it is really what I want, I will fight for it even if I have to sacrifice my life."

"When I was young, I was a waitress, never leaving the house, just waiting for my father to take a fancy to a potential boy, and then I would marry him. Like a commodity, I became the capital for my father to buy business stocks."

"If he becomes successful, it will be my good fortune. If he dies, I will still serve his family, no matter if I was a daughter of an official in the past." In order to marry into a better family, she and her sisters schemed and spent all her energy, thinking all day, acting like a spoiled child, fighting and framing each other. "

"Later, I had the opportunity to learn martial arts, and I entered the palace right after I finished. Although my life was much more exciting than I expected, the little princess I raised even sat on the throne. But being a queen mother is nothing more than moving from a golden cage to a larger, more luxurious and solemn golden cage."

"The only good thing is that you don't have to worry about her getting tired of you or not supporting you anymore."

"Now that everything is over, I want to see this vast world and the beautiful mountains and rivers praised in poems."

Everyone has their own aspirations.

Not having to fight for profit is the best outcome for their relationship.

Concubine Xian found an auspicious day and left the palace in a low-key manner. No one would care about the whereabouts of a powerless concubine.

Zhang Xiaqin became the empress dowager and accepted greetings from the emperor every day.

But she felt sorry for the child and thought Bei Jingchu was overworked, so despite trying to dissuade her several times, Bei Jingchu still went on every day.

If for no other reason, filial piety is something that is performed for show.

The ruler is the guide for his subjects, the father is the guide for his sons, and the husband is the guide for his wife.

Bei Jingchu abandoned the last item in order to get promoted, but the remaining ones must be more consolidated, otherwise chaos will arise.

Now the prosperous situation has been achieved, we just need to wait for time.

The world is her garden, and she will make it flourish and grow bigger, with all flowers blooming in full splendor.

And she has always been able to wait and be patient.

As soon as everything is ready, we can attack the dragon directly.

Hiding was the last lesson her father taught her, and she had always been an excellent student.
