However, Empress Dowager Zhang's face was pulled down. The bandits were considered to be accomplices of the tiger in any case. Although they were innocent, they also caused many evil consequences.

But... her eyes flashed over Ye Chunqiu's face. Empress Dowager Zhang admired this guy quite a bit. He didn't care about such great achievements. Instead, he hoped that he would pardon the remnants of the sect bandits. What kind of person he was.

Queen Mother Zhang was a little angry, but she couldn't get angry with this guy.

Her eyes turned, and her eyes fell on Zhu Houzhao on the side. Perhaps... she had some ideas and the emperor liked him very much. It was rare for Ye Chunqiu to have such kindness. It can be seen that this person's character cannot be damaged, and he may also have a kind side of a woman, but what is the most important thing for being a minister?

Empress Dowager Zhang pondered for a moment, her face turned cold and said, "Ye Qing family, do you really want this? You can think of the consequences."

Ye Chunqiu was also a little scared, but soon he dispelled his doubts. He was now the top scholar, and the top scholar he had just appointed in the court would not be wiped out like this.

In fact, he already knew the system of the Ming Dynasty almost exactly. The scholars and officials are often the most popular. It is a bit difficult to commit suicide. The survival rate of scolding the emperor is as high as 90%, let alone asking for the people?

The reason why Ye Chunqiu didn't give rewards was because he had the confidence of this top scholar. This was a real little Sanyuan and *******. One was only released in a hundred years. It was definitely a mascot in the court. With this, other rewards were not different from dirt. He felt pity for those ignorant and pitiful believers. The figure of the little maid appeared in Ye Chunqiu's mind. This was just a very innocent and kind little girl. What was she wrong? Is it involved in the right and wrong of politics?

Do you want her family to be destroyed? She has a father, Ye Chunqiu also has a father, and Ye Chunqiu will have children in the future. She is the daughter of a father. This is definitely not a sentiment or a saint. When killing people, Ye Chunqiu has never been merciful. It is just... deep in his heart, he may not be able to treat flesh and blood as a tool. It is because Ye Chunqiu started among the fields that he can understand more joy, anger, sorrow and happiness. It is because of joy and sorrow that he does not want many people to face despair, fear and great sorrow.

Ye Chunqiu finally gritted his teeth and said, "Students ask the Empress to be extra kind and give it a tribute."

Queen Mother Zhang stopped talking.

Ye Chunqiu was under great pressure, and even if Empress Dowager Zhang disagreed, it would be fine. But this silence made him feel that the atmosphere in the bedroom had dropped to freezing point.

Is this what it means to accompany the king as a tiger? He took a deep breath and said: "Students read books and have experienced the deeds of the late emperor. The late emperor is kind and beyond the reach of others."

This sentence seemed to touch the thoughts of Empress Dowager Zhang. Empress Dowager Zhang couldn't help but sigh, her eyes became gentle, and she looked at Ye Chunqiu and said, "Marquis Shouning said you are his nobleman. As expected, the Ai family coincided with you. Since those bandits of the sect have been killed, the other remnants are just blinded. Your Majesty...what do you think?"

Zhu Houzhao hurriedly said, "This... is easy to deal with, I will discuss it with the cabinet."

Empress Dowager Zhang smiled. She looked at Ye Chunqiu again and found that this young man who was about the same age as her son was becoming more and more pleasing to him. He was well-educated, well-informed, and both civil and military, and was still the top scholar...

Her eyes lit up and she said, "Chunqiu, how many years are you now?"

Ye Chunqiu was still a little nervous when facing Empress Dowager Zhang at first. It was a lie to not be nervous. But when he suddenly heard this familiar sentence, he seemed to have heard it in many places, and he wondered: "The student is only fifteen years old."

"Ah, I'm fifteen years old, have you ever married..."

I knew... Ye Chunqiu was speechless for a moment.

But at this moment, the eyes of Hou Shouning and Jianchang Bo both lit up and he looked at Empress Dowager Zhang suddenly.

This sister is really good at finding a chance, she is very thoughtful.

Shouning Hou's mind was turning rapidly. Ye Chunqiu was his noble man, not to mention... he is still the top scholar now, and his future is limitless. Isn't this just a strong team up? So he immediately said: "Oh, I have a daughter, who is ten years old and has not yet married. She is waiting for her name to be a virtuous person, and she is virtuous and kind, and has a temperament..."

"..." Ye Chunqiu looked at the Zhang family looking at him diligently, but calmed down. This routine was so familiar, so he bowed with both hands and said, "The student already has an unmarried chess wife, the daughter of Wang Hua, the Minister of Personnel. In a few days, he is afraid that he will get married. The Hou of Shouning is kind, and the student will appreciate it."

Shouning Hou's face froze, and then he became full of regret.

It's one step away. If it's someone else's daughter, there is room for a plan, but Wang Hua's daughter... His neck shrank, forget it.

Empress Dowager Zhang also looked regretful, but said, "Wang Aiqing's family education is very strict, and his daughter is of great quality. Well, it is also your blessing to have such a good marriage."

Ye Chunqiu hurriedly thanked him. He was about to say goodbye when he was not early, so he was about to say goodbye. The foreign minister stayed in the harem, which was indeed easy for people to gossip. Queen Mother Zhang laughed: "You take care of yourself. If there is anything, you can ask the Marquis of Shouning to send a message to the Ai family. In the future, you will enter the temple. If you are the top scholar, you must go to Hanlin. The younger generation is terrifying."

After a few words of praise, he let Ye Chunqiu go out.

Ye Chunqiu saw the sun again, but found that the sun was dim and the sunset fell on the glazed tiles, making him a little dazzling. Looking at the palace city, Ye Chunqiu felt a lot of thoughts. He walked slowly, led by the little orange to leave the palace, but someone called him behind him: "Ye Chunqiu."

It turned out that the little emperor was out.

Ye Chunqiu has a bad impression of this little emperor. He looks like a naughty child at first glance, and he is no different from Ye Juncai. Of course... Maybe the 95th emperor of the family will always have some glory, but... it's thanks to him that he can turn from the second level to become the top scholar. He felt a faint gratitude for the little emperor. He stopped and bowed and bowed: "Your Majesty."

Zhu Houzhao walked over quickly, with her hands behind her back, looked at him with a smile, and said, "If I were the general, you would be my deputy general."

With a mindless sentence, Ye Chunqiu was slightly stunned, but Zhu Houzhao blinked at him with a mysterious feeling, and laughed and led the eunuch who was accompanying him.

I don’t want to be a deputy general. Ye Chunqiu thought to himself that my ambition is a scholar-official, and I must be proud and be a talented person in charge of the world.

Ye Chunqiu looked at the back of the little emperor and curled his lips. The little orange suddenly became more enthusiastic about Ye Chunqiu and said hurriedly: "Zhuangyuan, please go here."

Ye Chunqiu smiled at him. Although he had come to the palace to see many eunuchs, the first time he had come into close contact was this little orange. Alas... he was quite curious, well... he should be calm and avoid being rude, and avoid being mistaken for thinking that he had never seen the world.

But... I really came from the countryside.
