He repeated Song Shiwei's identity in his mind once again, his rosy eyelashes drooped slightly, and his covered eyes seemed to be thinking about something.

She climbed up from the ranks of servants. She has no other skills, but her greatest skill is knowing people.

Could an adopted daughter really allow Jiang Zhaorong to do this?

Even if she is her biological daughter, it may not be certain.

From the matter of breaking off the engagement, it can be seen that Jiang Zhaorong is not a person who values ​​feelings, so she did not expect him to have any affection for her at the beginning.

If it's for profit, anyone with a discerning eye can see how much the emperor values ​​Jiang Zhiyu. If she has to choose between Song Shiwei and Jiang Zhiyu, she will definitely choose Jiang Zhiyu.

When faced with major events, what drives people to make choices are nothing more than emotion and profit.

Jiang Zhaorong is ruthless, and since he is ruthless, that is beneficial.

In Jiang Zhaorong's mind, the benefits brought by Song Shiwei are greater than those brought by Jiang Zhiyu?

Why does he think so?

Tao Hong's mind was in turmoil, but she pretended to be angry. "She's just an adopted daughter, and now she's involved in such a big thing. If the emperor blames you, even if you don't consider others, you should at least consider your newborn child!"

When talking about children, Jiang Zhaorong choked.

Tao Hong continued to mutter softly, "With something as serious as this, anyone would have distanced themselves from it first. But you, on the other hand, are still concerned about her life and are so kind to her. This Song Shiwei might not be your adopted daughter, but your biological daughter!"

"Bang!" Jiang Zhaorong slammed the table and stood up, his eyes filled with indifference. "What nonsense are you talking about! When is it your turn to butt in on any decision I make? These past few days, I've really made you forget your own identity!"

He looked so angry and embarrassed that Taohong stood there in a daze, as if frightened by him, and fell silent.

Jiang Zhaorong took a few deep breaths and felt that everything in the room was not satisfactory in his eyes. He snorted viciously and left in a huff.

After he left, Taohong's fear disappeared from her face, and her pretty face became a little distorted.

Song Shiwei, what on earth does she have?!

…

After a turbulent night, Jiang Kang'an was asked to leave by the emperor's men at dawn the next day. Two people were specially left behind to wait for Jiang Zhiyu to wake up before letting her into the palace.

Jiang Kang'an followed the others into the imperial study. Besides him, there were Xiao Lingyu and Xiao Mingye.

Seeing everyone gathered, the emperor coughed lightly and said, "I won't go into details about yesterday's situation. I want to send troops to fight against Nan Gu. What are your opinions?"

The attack on Nan Gu was something everyone had expected, so no one was surprised. Everyone was silent for a moment, then said in unison, "We will follow the orders of the Emperor."

The emperor waved his hand and said, "I didn't ask you to come here to listen to these empty words. Nearly half of the ministers in the court are now in prison. These vacancies need to be filled. And the officials below them who are implicated by them must also be liquidated."

"Now is the time to recruit people. Please recommend any candidates you have. Do you really want me to invite them personally?"

The emperor laughed and joked, and the three of them looked a little relaxed.

"I have already made a plan for who will lead the troops. Let Wen Jing go," the emperor looked at Jiang Kang'an, thought for a moment, and said, "There's no need to bring the man named Ji Tong with him."

Now that we know his identity, whether we want to take advantage of his trick or something else, there will always be risks.

The person can be kept and dealt with later, but the matter of Nan Gu cannot afford any mistakes.

When Xiao Mingye first heard Ji Tong's name, he was stunned for a moment. When he heard the emperor say that there was no need to bring him, the smile on Xiao Mingye's face deepened.

It should have been like this a long time ago. He had felt from the beginning that Ji Tong gave him a very bad impression, which made him feel a little disgusted for no reason.

Unexpectedly, the person who felt the same as him was his own father.

They are indeed a father and son of one mind!

Jiang Kang'an responded, "I will definitely tell Wen Jing."

After deciding on the candidate to lead the troops in Nan Gu, the next step was to decide on the ministers. The emperor originally wanted to discuss this matter at the morning court, but most of the ministers in the court were impeaching Zhiyu, simply because Zhiyu could have held Prince Yu hostage at the time, but chose to let go.

The emperor knew that Jiang Zhiyu did not want to disrupt his plan. After all, if she had held Prince Yu hostage at that time, how could she have gotten so many people out of Prince Yu's mouth?

He thought that his ministers would be able to react after the dust settled, but when they went to court, they gave him a wake-up call.

The emperor immediately didn't want to speak anymore. He hurriedly dismissed the court and sent someone to invite Jiang Kang'an over.

I've had enough of the comfortable life and now I'm too lazy to use my brain at all!

They only care about their own lives!

Do you really think that you are just like them, with blurry eyes and unable to see the situation clearly?

The emperor thought to himself that if he wasn't short of people, he wouldn't want to keep these idiots.

Because of the previous teasing, when the emperor spoke again, the three of them nominated some people one after another, and finally finalized more than a dozen people. The sun was already high in the sky outside.

Jiang Zhiyu came in at this time.

As soon as she came in, all three of them breathed a sigh of relief.

Electing officials is no small matter. If you elect a corrupt official or a treacherous minister, you will also be affected.

Although Xiao Lingyu is the crown prince and has the most contact with people, because of this status, it is not appropriate for him to have too close a personal relationship with anyone. Before Jiang Kangan got into trouble, he had many good friends, but after the accident, there were only a few of them that he contacted, not to mention Xiao Mingye.

He was sent to Youzhou since he was young, and there were only a handful of people he knew in the capital.

It was said that the three of them were to nominate candidates, but even among the dozen or so people who were chosen, more than half were nominated by the emperor.

After hearing the whole story, Jiang Zhiyu couldn't help laughing out loud:

【Hahahahaha, the emperor does choose people.】

emperor:"……"

Jiang Kangan: “…”

Xiao Lingyu: "..."

Xiao Mingye: "..."

At this moment, the silence between the four people was deafening.

The entire imperial study was filled with Jiang Zhiyu's unbridled laughter in their ears.

Everyone had a list in their hands, and Fuping handed the list to Jiang Zhiyu.

When Jiang Zhiyu saw the pitiful number of people on the list, he laughed even louder.

"What do you think of Jinghong, Zhiyu?" The emperor, unable to bear it any longer, pointed at the person in the album and asked.

The laughter slowly died down, and Jiang Zhiyu thought for a moment: "Your Majesty, I have never met this person, so I dare not make any rash judgments."

[He's not particularly talented, but he hasn't made any major mistakes either, so he's still useful. I'll lie to the emperor later and tell him I've met him, then tell him.]

The others: "..."

How can the crime of deceiving the emperor be described so lightly?

You are worthy of it!

The emperor raised the corner of his mouth slightly, pretending that he did not hold the pen firmly, and lightly tapped the pen under this person.

After that, the same old tricks were used again.
