When Li Fuquan finished reading the list, Emperor Yuan asked, "Is this the person you chose?"
Jiang Yueyang nodded and looked at Emperor Yuan sincerely, "Your Majesty, I know you must be doubting my intentions now."
Emperor Yuan: “…”
Civil and military officials: Is this something you can say in front of His Majesty? Lord Xiao Jiang is still too naive.
However, perhaps it is precisely because of her simplicity that His Majesty continues to use her so much even after she has demonstrated her special qualities.
“But I want to say that the original intention of establishing the Supervisory Department was to do things that others dare not do and to try cases that others dare not try.
The people who do these things need to have strong abilities, absolute loyalty and justice, and a formidable background and power.
Therefore, after much consideration, I decided to risk your Majesty's suspicion and make that list.
However, I am also afraid of death. Therefore, I will hand over the list to Your Majesty, and Your Majesty will confirm the final candidate. "
As her voice fell, the system said: [Host, do you think the emperor will believe you? ]
[I don't know! Any emperor who reads that list would think I am forming a clique for personal gain.]
What if the emperor doesn't believe you?
[Then I can only flee with my whole family. ]
The system hinted: [Host, don’t you want to do something big? ]
Hearing the system's dangerous remarks, Minister Jiang had a sense of déjà vu, and his heart suddenly rose to his throat.
This little kid is causing trouble again!
The civil and military officials frowned. They didn't know whether it was a blessing or a curse for Lord Jiang to have this little melon.
The Crown Prince and the Third Prince were extremely anxious, fearing that Jiang Yueyang would desperately agree with the system's words.
Emperor Yuan waited for her answer with an expressionless face.
Jiang Yueyang rolled her eyes, and this scene was caught by Emperor Yuan who had been watching her.
[I'm not that idiot Prince Rong, who thinks he can ascend to the throne just because he has a little money and influence! I know my own worth. I still know myself.]
Jiang Yueyang shook his head and said, "That position is not for someone like me. Besides, your majesty is a very competent emperor, and the crown prince is also a kind and capable heir. 】
Hearing this, Emperor Yuan smiled with satisfaction, and Minister Jiang and the Crown Prince brothers also breathed a sigh of relief.
Emperor Yuan snorted in displeasure, "Jiang Yueyang, I am not as suspicious as you think. I know the principle of trusting people when you employ them and not employing people if you are suspicious of them."
System: [Tsk! To put it bluntly, the host just doesn't have the courage and ambition, and is just too complacent.]
"Your Majesty, you are so wise! I will definitely be loyal to you like Lord Xie and my father!"
Jiang Yueyang responded to Emperor Yuan before paying attention to the system.
[Little melon, I am very satisfied with my current life. If it weren't for His Majesty insisting on me being this poor official, I don't know where I would be living a happy life now.
I can pay a few handsome young men and beautiful women who can sing and dance to perform for me, and live a life of luxury all year round. It's so cool! 】
Minister Jiang: “…”
The Crown Prince & the Third Prince: "..."
Civil and military officials: "..."
The corners of Emperor Yuan's mouth twitched, and he tried hard to control the expression on his face. "I need to look at the list again. Just remember what you said today."
"Yes, I promise not to forget!"
Emperor Yuan nodded reservedly, then looked at the others, "Do you have anything else to say?"
The representative of the Ministry of Rites came forward to inquire about the issue of the eldest prince Yuanqi's recognition of his ancestry. Kong Jijiu said that they had already screened a part of the palace examination papers, and the rest needed to be read by the emperor himself.
Jiang Yueyang listened for a while, and after making sure that Emperor Yuan would not call her name again, she urged the system to eat melons.
【Xiaogua, tell me about Guo Yuanzheng’s gossip. 】
Guo Yuanzheng was in high spirits, and all the civil and military officials looked impatient.
The system sang a line of lyrics in a pretentious way, [I finally waited for you~ Fortunately I didn’t give up~]
Jiang Yueyang: [……]
Guo Yuanzheng: This song is more suitable for me to sing...
The system just sang this sentence, and then cleared its throat after singing, [Guo Yuanzheng's wife has been secretly running out to see someone in the past two months, and she is so happy that she doesn't want to leave. ]
[Cheating?] Jiang Yueyang subconsciously thought of this.
[Yes and no. ]
Hearing their words, Guo Yuanzheng immediately wilted like an eggplant hit by frost.
All the civil and military officials cried out in their hearts, wondering who could be spared by heaven?
Yuanzheng Guo has been eating melons for so long, it's time for him to contribute to Lord Xiaojiang's melon-eating cause.
Emperor Yuan calmly turned his head and told Li Fuquan to bring some food. He felt that something was missing if he didn't chew something while eating melon.
The Third Prince quickly snatched the snacks from the Fifth Prince's purse and ate them secretly.
The fifth prince stared at his empty hands for a few seconds, then pulled out a purse from his waist, which contained a small naan.
He ate it stealthily, his eyes glancing around alertly.
Jiang Yueyang was confused by the system's words, [What is it and what is not? Can you explain it clearly? ]
Everyone: That’s right! Even storytellers don’t try to be so mysterious!
[No, I have to finish the story so I can earn more energy.]
[Okay, okay, then please speak faster.]
The system was not fast at all, and asked slowly: [Host, how old do you think Guo Yuanzheng is now? ]
[He looks about the same age as my father, about thirty-six or thirty-seven years old.]
System [No, no, no, Director Guo is 45 years old this year.]
