Chapter 42 Selection



"How is Lord Lu? He has been an official for fifteen years and has worked diligently. Although he has not made any great achievements, he has not made any major mistakes either."

Jiang Yueyang: [Little melon?]

[No. This guy looks like a good guy on the surface, but he is actually dark and vicious. The neighbor's dog just barked at him twice, and he caught the dog overnight and tortured it to death. The next day, he hypocritically asked his neighbor why he didn't see his dog?]

【People who abuse small animals are not good people. 】

Jiang Yueyang looked at her father and said, "Dad, I don't think this man is good enough. Look, he has been an official for fifteen years and has not made any achievements. It is obvious that he has no ability. It is useless to send him to the Turks."

Minister Jiang nodded seriously, "What about Lord Sun Xiaofeng? He was promoted to the third rank in just five years, which shows how capable he is."

System: [This is even worse! This person is very good at scheming, a typical fence-sitter. He was able to be promoted three levels in five years, all by betraying his superiors. Such a person will definitely turn against his superiors as long as he is promised a high position, generous salary, gold, silver and treasures.]

Minister Jiang thought about it and realized that several of Sun Xiaofeng’s former superiors seemed to have been demoted.

And those who recommended him for promotion seemed to be at odds with his superiors.

After Jiang Yueyang finished listening to the system's words, she said to her father, "Dad, I think this guy is even worse. He has been promoted three levels in five years. Regardless of whether he has the ability or not, he must be very ambitious."

"Is it bad to have ambition?" Minister Jiang asked in a very pretentious manner.

"It's neither good nor bad. Ambitious people will never be satisfied with the status quo. If one day we can't satisfy his ambition, he will definitely betray us. Sending him to the Turks is not appropriate."

"What about Lian Yifei, Lord Lian?"

System: [This guy is okay, but he has no opinion of his own and listens to his mother in everything. He is a typical mama's boy. Whether he is loyal to Da Xia depends entirely on his mother's attitude towards Da Xia.]

【Then forget it. 】

Jiang Yueyang: "Dad, choose again."

Minister Jiang mentioned a few more people. The system's evaluation of them was average, not good, and none of them was absolutely loyal.

"My daughter, there are only three left. If we fail to choose, I won't be able to explain to His Majesty."

System: [Host, ask your father if he must have an official from the Honglu Temple? If not, I have a candidate.]

Jiang Yueyang then asked, "Dad, do we have to send officials from the Honglu Temple to the Turks this time?"

"I guess so. People who go to Turkic need to be able to speak multiple languages, and only officials from the Honglu Temple have this ability."

System: [Host, tell your father that Bai Ze, the magistrate of Qingping County, is a good candidate. Not only is he an honest official, he also speaks multiple languages. Most importantly, he is smooth in his work and loyal to Daxia.]

[How do you know that he is loyal? ]

[Someone in the Bai clan was involved in smuggling, and he was collecting evidence of his clan members' crimes, preparing to kill his relatives for the sake of justice. In addition, not long ago, the King of Nanzhao sent someone to capture his wife, using this to force him to work for Nanzhao.

He first agreed, and then waited for an opportunity to rescue his wife. After rescuing his wife, he killed all the people of Nanzhao and sent a letter to the King of Nanzhao.

The content of the letter is: Bai is honored to be born in Daxia. Now that you, Nanzhao, refuse to submit, my Daxia cavalry will trample all over Nanzhao territory in the future. King of Nanzhao, you wait and don't die too soon. 】

Jiang Yueyang was slightly surprised. She had met the Qingping County Magistrate once in the court, and she really didn't realize that he was such a man of blood.

[The Bai family seems to be a noble family. Your Majesty and the noble families have always been at odds with each other, will you trust him? ]

System: [It depends on whether your father is worthy of his trust. ]

Jiang Yueyang thought about it and felt that since His Majesty could entrust such an important matter to her father, he must trust him.

So she said, "Dad, the magistrate of Qingping County can speak many languages. You and His Majesty may want to observe him and see if he is qualified for the mission to the Turks."

"Qingping County Magistrate knows multiple languages? How come I don't know that?"

Jiang Yueyang said casually: "They are just low-key."

Minister Jiang suddenly wanted to embarrass her and deliberately asked, "How did you know that, girl?"

"I..." Jiang Yueyang's brain worked quickly after hearing this, "I heard it."

"Who told you that?"

"I won't tell you." Jiang Yueyang hurriedly changed the subject, "I almost forgot, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince asked me to repair a collection of poems, Dad, if you have time, please help me with it."

Minister Jiang remained tactically silent.

Seeing this, Jiang Yueyang said, "Dad, you know that I, your daughter, have a lot of talent. Restoring the poetry collection is absolutely impossible."

"Dad believes you can do it." Minister Jiang politely declined.

"I can't."

"Nothing is difficult in this world if you are willing..."

"As long as you are willing to give up." Jiang Yueyang interrupted him before he finished speaking.

Minister Jiang: “…”

"Dad~" Jiang Yueyang shook his arm coquettishly, "It's too late for me to try hard now. If you don't help me, I can only hand in a blank paper. Then I will be..."

The voice stopped abruptly, and Jiang Yueyang suddenly thought of something.

"Haha... it's just right if I can't finish it. When the time comes, the prince will blame me and I can use this as an excuse to resign."

Minister Jiang: "Don't be so delusional. His Majesty will not let you resign in the short term."

"Why?"

"Because... because His Majesty has other reasons for granting you this position. Besides, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will not blame you."

To Jiang Yueyang, this meant that the prince treated you as his future princess, and no matter how hopeless you were, he would still consider your face.
