Zhangsun Wuji's mission was a secret, but his promotion was not.
It did not take long for the top circle in the capital to know that the Zhangsun family's children had made a name for themselves.
Li family.
"Second Brother, what do you think is the reason?" Li Xiuning was angry.”
"You are clearly the winner, so how could His Majesty confer the title of Zuo Qianniu to that Zhangsun Wuji?”
"He's still a sixth-grade official. Our father is only a fifth-grade official!”
"And that sister of hers, why is she a member of the Internal Study House? And a sixth rank female official, I want it too!”
Li Shi Min was helpless." Xiao Ning, can you stop for a while? Your brain is about to explode."”
" Second Brother, you have to fight for it!" Li Xiuning was a little disappointed." You're the winner. His Majesty still admires you very much!"”
"Since ancient times, which one of those who have been conferred a title of nobility has not contributed to the court?" Li Shimin said seriously. I have been conferred the title of Lantian County Marquis without any achievements. This is already a great favor from His Majesty. We must know how to be grateful. Don't say such words again in the future.”
Seeing her second brother's expression, Li Xiu Ning had no choice but to give up.
"Got it."
She mumbled and turned to leave.
After Li Xiu Ning left, Li Shi Min's expression gradually became serious.
"Why did Your Majesty only confer Zhangsun Wuji? Could it be that you find my methods too intense during the competition? That shouldn't be the case. His Majesty's heart isn't so magnanimous. There must be another reason that I don't know.”
"I definitely can't enter the palace to ask for a title now. All I can do is wait!”
Outside the courtyard, Li Xiu Ning looked in the direction of the inner courtyard of the palace.
She muttered in a low voice," It's said that the Emperor likes to search for beautiful women. It must be that after we left, Zhangsun Wugou used some kind of seductive method on the Emperor. Otherwise, why would the Emperor also confer her title?"”
"You even gave her the freedom to walk around the palace? That must be it!"
Li Xiu Ning lowered her head to look at her figure and raised her chin proudly.""What's so good about Zhangsun Wugou? I, Li Xiu Ning, am much better than her!”
"Yes, in terms of brains, she's a little stronger than me. But in terms of skills, can she beat me?”
…………
Zhangsun Wuji had been extremely busy these few days.
His Majesty had given him a whole box of books on oil.
Only then did he realize that his Department of Energy was really poor.
He needed a large number of talents to support this stall.
Where did the talents come from?
He could only nurture them himself.
Zhangsun Wuji asked his father for help and selected 500 young soldiers who could read and write from Zuo Xiaowei.
He read at home at night and sorted out the key points. During the day, he taught the Department of Energy's team.
It was late at night, but Zhangsun Wuji's room was still brightly lit.
The oil lamp was too blinding.
Yang Guang gave Zhangsun Wuji a 500W solar power generator set.
There was also a 50W LED light bulb installed in his room.
It was as bright as day.
In the courtyard outside the window, Zhangsun Sheng and Zhangsun Wugou stood there, looking at the reflection on the window.
" I don't know what mission your brother has." Zhangsun Sheng sighed." Even we have to keep it a secret."”
Zhangsun Wugou pursed his lips into a smile." Father, you don't have to be curious. Brother has become successful now. You should be happy."”
Zhangsun Sheng smiled." It's like this. Your brother is full of energy now. I'm also very gratified. Have you been working in the palace these few days?"”
"No, His Majesty said that I don't have to work every day.”
" That won't do," Zhangsun Sheng said solemnly." You share the monarch's wealth and share the monarch's worries. Since you are the Imperial Study's official appointed by His Majesty, you should go to work every day. It's the same for men and women."”
Zhangsun Wugou pursed his lips.”
In the Imperial Palace.
Yang Guang had been quite leisurely these few days.
The ancients really did not say wrong, the lower labor, the middle labor wisdom, the upper labor people.
He only needed to pick the right people to do the right things. He did not have to worry about the rest.
Xiao Yu was now in charge of the Longshou Mountain industrial base.
Zhangsun Wuji was in charge of the Energy Department to solve the oil problem.
He Chou was currently selecting skilled craftsmen from all over the country, and he was probably almost done with his preparations.
The Great Sui Empire was like a high-speed train.
Yang Guang only needed to control the direction of his advance.
There were specialized people to do the rest of the work.
As long as the general direction was not wrong.
Then there would not be any problems with the Great Sui Empire.
Yang Guang lay on Xiao Meiniang's lap with his eyes closed.
Xiao Meiniang was already used to Yang Guang's behavior.
Whenever he thought about something, he liked to lie on her lap.
"His Majesty has been very attached to me recently…"
Xiao Meiniang thought happily.
Because of Yang Guang, Xiao Meiniang had been glowing recently, exuding a fatal charm.
She brought out the mature, intellectual, gentle, and noble charm of a mature woman in her thirties to the extreme.
This was also the main reason why Yang Guang was infatuated with her.
This kind of charm was definitely not something that young girls like Zhangsun Wugou and Li Xiuning could compare to.
"Your Majesty, Consort Shu Niangniang requests an audience!" the young eunuch reported.”
Yang Guang didn't even open his eyes.”
The little eunuch was about to leave when Xiao Meiniang raised her hand to stop him.
She gently said to Yang Guang," Your Majesty, Consort Shu has asked to see you several times. You can't always not see her. No matter what, she is still your pillow person. If you don't see her, others will think that I, the Empress, am occupying the Emperor and not taking care of the other sisters!”
Yang Guang had no choice but to open his eyes.”
