Both Zhu Zimei and Li Qing had a feeling of flattery. Although they often came in this study, no concubine has ever enjoyed the honor of assisting His Majesty in reading documents since the founding of the empire. Even An Qier, who is the queen, rarely comes into contact with these things. Today, Wufeng was in high spirits and wanted to let the two of them come to read documents. Although they were just helping to read, they were a rare favor in years.

After exchanging surprise glances with each other, Zhu Zimei and Li Qingke both felt the excitement and vigilance in each other's eyes. How great it would be if they were the only one who enjoyed this kind of favor. It's a pity that there was an annoying character next to them, which made such a wonderful thing a little regretful.

Wufeng didn't think so much. Of course, he knew that the empire had long established the principle of strictly prohibiting concubines from interfering in politics. However, occasionally letting the concubines read documents for themselves to explain their fatigue is nothing. Important military affairs have been dealt with in a timely manner, and the rest are some government affairs, so there is no need to worry about the possibility of leaks. Adjusting the atmosphere in this way will make the second daughter and himself feel much better. At least such pampering can make the second daughter feel the compensation for the past few months. Now the most dangerous moment has basically been passed, and he can also have more energy to accompany the concubines. The resentful women in the harem who have been neglected for too long will cause a lot of trouble, especially the concubines who have no children.

Neither Li Qingke nor Zhu Zimei thought as much as Wufeng thought. Such honor had already made them happy. The substance was not important. This treatment was undoubtedly a kind of affirmation for both of them in his mind, and this affirmation was undoubtedly a guarantee for them to ensure long-term favor.

You should know that there are many women above the imperial concubine in the palace, including Angel, Situ Yutang, Lin Yuexin, and Annie. In addition to the two daughters of Zhu Li, Sophia seems to have obtained the identity of a imperial concubine sooner or later. The identity of the princess of the Kingdom of Jiemeiluo and the ambiguous emotional entanglement with His Majesty made her stand out among the many women surrounding His Majesty.

There is also Situ Yuzhen, a lowly woman with the blood of a singer, who actually wanted to imagine her identity as a concubine. Both Li Qingke and Zhu Zimei were a little angry at this point. They were also overestimated by the Shi family Shi's Shi family and Junshan Clivia, who is also one of the four beauties in the martial arts world. They are also extremely active in the palace now, and they seem to be foolish in climbing up a high branch. In addition, Nataguli, the daughter of Duke Movor, who is known as the No. 1 noble daughter of Indian and German, from the Indian and German region... Movor also arrived in Beijing as a gift for loyalty to the empire and demanding marriage. Both Li Qingke and Zhu Zimei felt tremendous pressure.

The two women, who were complicated, had a moment of thought, and Wufeng could not guess it. However, Wufeng was temporarily lost after the surprise. He was a little surprised. Could it be that these two people were unwilling to read the documents for themselves? "Qing Ke, what's wrong with you?"

After suddenly awakening, Li Qingke quickly calmed down and picked up the first document placed on the imperial desk and said in a voice: "I am a little distracted. I thought that it would be better if Qingshi came to read the copy for Your Majesty. Qingshi's voice was first-class, and I was a little worse than Qingshi."

"Damn girl, I am not appreciating poetry. This is a government document. Read it quickly. Look at the thick stack, which is all the work that needs to be completed tonight. I, the emperor, can be considered dedicated enough, right?"

He tried his best to keep his attention on the documents in his hand. Li Qingke thought it out loud and realized that his voice was trembling: "Merley County's suggestions on establishing an agricultural product futures exchange in Luxor."

"Qingke, just talk about it, no need to read the original text." This was also an important suggestion that I originally wanted to be an important suggestion, but due to the expansion of the local war in the empire, these affairs have been temporarily shelved. Now the situation has improved slightly, so many things should be considered as appropriate.

Li Qingke looked at it and briefly introduced the main content of the suggestions of Governor Meili Qin Tieliu. Wu Feng was quite satisfied with it. He was worthy of being from the Yuejing palace and his introduction to such government affairs was also detailed and appropriate. "What is the opinion of the Government Council?"

"Mr. Xiao has signed the opinion, and he suggests that he will suspend the consideration and make a conclusion after the local situation in the empire is stable." Li Qingke answered obediently.

"Well, this matter is handled according to the opinions of the Government Council. The empire does not have so much attention to it now. Moreover, it takes a certain amount of time to train officials proficient in financial affairs. The Ministry of Finance will not be relieved by relying on the recruited personnel in the Western Continent." Wufeng shook his head. This war delayed too many development opportunities, but he had to fight. He fought earlier than later. After fighting, he could make a hundred years of effort. It would be easier to make the huge empire develop at full speed.

"The Minister of Rites, Lao Min, reported to Changbin and 33 others to award the title of Noble of the Year 701." Zhu Zimei couldn't help but jump secretly when she saw this memorial. The competition for these nobles to grant titles to the empire was very fierce, and it could even be said to have reached a white-hot level. Zhu Zimei knew this very well. Some people even secretly entrusted their relationship to the palace, wanting to take the pillow-blowing road to influence this matter, and she was also entrusted by others. As far as she knew, at least Situ Yuzhen was also involved.

Since its establishment, the empire has been very strict and even harsh in terms of titles of nobles. In addition to those foreign princes and nobles who have joined the empire, the requirements for military merits and political achievements are very strict. For example, Xiao Tang and Su Qin, who are the prime minister of the State Council, are just counts. None of the nobles who were awarded the title of marquis or above for military merits and political achievements have been obtained. On the contrary, some people who have made outstanding contributions to the people have more opportunities, such as overseas adventures to discover territories and colonies or have made great breakthroughs in scientific research and scientific and technological innovation, or celebrities with outstanding achievements and prestige in the field of culture and art.

The gentry and businessmen who once made great contributions to the empire in economic terms also won some low-ranking titles, but soon this condition was elevated to a very high level. In 701, more than 80 people were qualified for nominations for aristocratics in various counties because of their economic contributions, but they were eliminated at the Ministry of Rites to less than twenty people, which aroused widespread attention and criticism from economic people. However, the Ministry of Rites still did their own thing, insisted on evaluating according to their own opinions, and formulated corresponding rules.

Since he was awarded the title of aristocratic, he obtained the right to be elected and suffrage for the Senate representative. Once he was elected, he could obtain judicial immunity and qualifications to participate in state government affairs discussions and advice, and could attend some government affairs meetings of the State Council. This kind of respectful treatment cannot be obtained just by having money. Therefore, the competition among economic people in this regard is quite fierce, which has also led to these people's desire to exert influence from all angles.

"Thirty-three people? I remember that it seems that there are only twenty-five people in this batch. Where did the extra eight people come from?" Wu Feng was a little surprised. Lao Min would not make such a big mistake on such an important issue, right?

"Your Majesty, Lord Lao has reported in the memorial that it is difficult to choose the qualified candidates after selection, so I ask you to take it." Zhu Zimei knew of course how much pressure he had been under as the Minister of Rites on this issue. At least she had more or less suggested that the people were overworked to take care of someone. Now this guy is also cunning and actually kicked the problem at His Majesty. It seems that he would rather offend His Majesty the Emperor than offend others.

"Hmph, this guy really knows how to be a good person by himself and let me be a villain." Wufeng was a little unhappy, "How did Xiao Tang give instructions?"

"Mr. Xiao is also asking Your Majesty for your review." Zhu Zimei originally wanted to say something and say something, but when she noticed that Wufeng was a little angry, she didn't dare to make any more comments at this time.

"Hmph, I will be good people and send them back to the Government Council for re-examination of the Ministry of Rites. If they are not sure about the amount of the right candidate, I will not sign and approve it." Wufeng said angrily.

"Your Majesty, I have a bold suggestion. I don't know whether to say it or not?" Seeing Zhu Zimei's look of wanting to say it, Li Qingke looked beautiful and smiled.

"Oh? Qingke even though you and I are husband and wife, can I blame you?" Wufeng said casually.
