Chapter 166: Love in the Ancient Planes, Brain Opening 26

When Jiang Lan left the government office, she found Yuan Qingci waiting for her at the door.

She looked calm, and several colleagues from the Ministry of Industry were all making faces.

The audience in the live broadcast room, like the group of people in the Ministry of Industry, didn't know what they were excited about.

[It appeared, it appeared, the famous scene! Shura field get!]

[Brother Yuan, you are so scheming, you must be here to claim sovereignty!]

[Ah? These two are like this, can we still support CP?]

[No, I don't support CP, I just like to watch the anchor ruthlessly reject all kinds of men!]

[Sisters upstairs hold claws, I also like to watch the anchor abuse all kinds of men! It's so cool!]

Jiang Lan's inner OS: I really thank you for looking up to me!

"Lan...Lan..."

In front of so many people, Yuan Qingci couldn't say the word "sister".

"Minister Jiang, who is this?"

In front of colleagues, Jiang Lan said openly: "This is my brother."

"Ah...brother."

Several colleagues put aside their excitement and said goodbye to her directly: "Minister Jiang, we will leave first, see you tomorrow."

Jiang Lan waved and followed Yuan Qingci into the carriage.

Along the way, Yuan Qingci's face was long, as if it was a huge bitter gourd, and it looked a little pale.

The two returned home, and when there were no idle people waiting, Jiang Lan asked about the things in the court.

"Have you handed over the evidence of Shi Zhifu's cheating in the imperial examination to a reliable person?"

Yuan Qingci nodded and replied, "I arranged it a few days after arriving in Kyoto."

The longer the evidence was in his hands, the more dangerous it would be.

Because he was afraid that Shi Zhifu and his men would use ruthless tactics to kill him, he arranged it early.

Jiang Lan was impressed by his speed, but asked worriedly, "You didn't expose yourself, did you?"

Yuan Qingci said with a smile, "You underestimated me too much. I had nothing to do with this matter from beginning to end. At least from the surface, I will not be involved, you can rest assured."

Jiang Lan just asked casually, not because he was really worried.

"The emperor was furious at the court meeting today. I estimate that there will be a big purge next."

"Although you have passed the joint examination, the palace examination has not yet begun. It is a turbulent time. Don't go out if you can, so as not to get involved in trouble."

Yuan Qingci naturally understood this truth and nodded in understanding.

Jiang Lan stretched his waist and walked past Yuan Qingci to go back to his room, but was stopped by him.

"Something?"

"We are still engaged. Why do you say that in front of outsiders..."

Jiang Lan didn't quite understand the emotions on Yuan Qingci's face. She said calmly: "I am telling the truth. Our engagement will be cancelled sooner or later."

"Can I..."

Yuan Qingci was interrupted by Jiang Lan before he could finish his words.

"No, no matter whether you will become the Yuan Qingci in your memory or not, Jiang Lan will not accept it."

Whether it is Jiang Lan himself or the original owner, they will not accept Yuan Qingci as the other half of their lives.

Yuan Qingci's eyes instantly turned red, and his emotions became a little excited.

"This is unfair to me! Why should I pay for what he did?"

"You are his younger brother."

Jiang Lan touched his head, with some inappropriate kindness in his eyes.

This is the child she watched grow up, and now he is taller than her.

"You are different from him, I know that."

"No, you don't know! You have always treated me like him! You have always been on guard against me!"

Yuan Qingci choked up and said, "It's not fair to me, you are being unfair to me."

Jiang Lan sighed and explained, "It would be unfair to you if I accepted you. My personality is destined to not make me a good wife, and I can't help you manage the harem and take care of you in every possible way."

"If you care about our relationship, let's find a day to cancel this engagement."

"You are not me, how can you make decisions for me! I won't cancel it!"

Jiang Lan wanted to say something, but saw Yuan Qingci turned around and ran away, with a panicked look as if something terrible was chasing him.

[Brother Yuan, let's mourn for the anchor, who is a ruthless and loveless woman, and you are wrong after all. 】

【People who can't get what they want will always be restless. The host has got it right. 】

Jiang Lan: A wise man doesn't fall in love. Besides, it's a bit beastly to date a kid you raised yourself.

...

The imperial examination fraud case that shocked the whole country has officially begun.

Emperor Xizheng was a tough emperor who couldn't tolerate any sand in his eyes. He issued a death order to investigate the case thoroughly and even sent two teams to supervise each other in handling the case.

Pulling out radishes brings out mud. The number of people involved in the case is staggering.

Lizhou prefect Shi Hao hesitated and was imprisoned without any surprise. Even King Xuan was implicated.

A storm, a major change of blood.

Jiang Lan found that there were obviously fewer people attending the court meeting. They must have gone to arrest people or been arrested.

In this storm, the Ministry of Works was lucky enough to escape.

After all, the officials working in such a low-ranking government office have no real power, so it was a blessing in disguise.

Jiang Lan has been very busy recently. She was originally in charge of manufacturing, but since she invented cement and concrete, her work scope has expanded to include water conservancy.

Usually, she has to follow her colleagues to collect data from dams around Kyoto.

In the midst of the busyness, the palace examination that attracted much attention from students began.

Yuan Qingci was originally ranked 25th in the joint examination, which was considered a good result.

After the imperial examination cheating case, many people were arrested, causing his ranking to rise a few places to 19th.

The topic of this palace examination is: How to rejuvenate the country.

After seeing the topic, Yuan Qingci was also stunned. He remembered that the topic of the palace examination in his previous life was "What is a national scholar".

How to rejuvenate the country... enrich the country and strengthen the army...

Yuan Qingci's mind was a mess, and suddenly a sentence that Jiang Lan often said rang in his ears.

Science and technology are the primary productive forces.

Yuan Qingci seemed to be deceived, abandoning the moderate and conservative arguments of strengthening the army and educating people, and seriously began to write about rejuvenating the country with technology.

The examination time was over soon, and Yuan Qingci looked at the full article on the paper, and suddenly remembered what he had just done.

For such an important exam, he was so willful that he wrote down the theory that Jiang Lan often talked about.

This was a very risky thing to do. In fact, with his current grades, he didn't need to be so eccentric.

Now that things have come to this, he has nothing to regret.

Compared to the relaxation of the tribute students after the exam, the chief examiner who read the papers began to get busy.

Several people were reading the papers in the room and grading the papers.

"Rejuvenate the country and enrich the people, the argument is good... B-A."

"Strengthen the army, educate, and enrich the people, the words are simple, and the ideas are rare and comprehensive, A-Middle."

"What is this... Restrain thoughts, restrain women... Which pedantic scholar is this, C-B." "

Rejuvenate the country with science and technology... This argument is interesting... Well, it makes sense, this..."

The examiner was a little hesitant about what grade to give, so he called his colleagues.

After a final agreement, the essay was rated B.

After the examiners finished reading the papers, they presented them to Emperor Xizheng for review and finalization.

Emperor Xizheng put the papers below B aside, showing no interest at all, and then began to read the papers above B. After

reading several papers in a row, they all had the same arguments, and he suddenly felt a little bored.

"This is interesting... science and technology will revitalize the country... hehe... interesting."

However, although it was interesting, Emperor Xizheng still finished reading the other papers.

"My dear ministers, what do you think of the essays of the candidates this time? Are there any that stand out?" "

Although the essay of candidate No. 3 is not ornate, it is very pragmatic. It can be seen between the lines that he has practical experience. I recommend No. 3."

"I recommend No. 7. No. 7 is very talented and rare."

"I think the essay of candidate No. 39 is meaningful and well-organized. It is very good."

Emperor Xizheng smiled and said nothing, watching everyone recommend.

"So many of you are talking about No. 3 and No. 39. By the way, why doesn't anyone appreciate No. 19? I think his essay is refreshing."

No. 19, isn't it the one who wrote about revitalizing the country through science and technology?

The ministers looked at each other, not knowing what the emperor meant, and didn't know how to answer for a while.
