"Don't be so surprised. I believe you can do it. You only took a quick glance..."
"Wait, wait." Jiang Yueyang interrupted Emperor Yuan, "Your Majesty, did you just... let me supervise the imperial examination?"
"good."
"Your Majesty, please think twice! I am young and have average knowledge, so it is difficult for me to take on such a big responsibility. Please choose someone else."
Emperor Yuan narrowed his eyes and smiled, "My dear minister, you are too modest. Although you are young, you have a pair of sharp eyes. I believe that under your supervision, no one will be able to cheat for personal gain under your nose."
[Hehe.] Jiang Yueyang's mouth twitched, [Thank you, I don't even believe in myself, how can you have the courage to believe in me?]
Emperor Yuan remained silent.
The system laughed happily, [Host, Emperor Yuan's courage was probably given by Lord Wu. Lord Wu finally admitted under the torture of Qin Shi that he had killed Li Cheng's family. He was sentenced to be executed in three days.]
Emperor Yuan: No, my courage is given by you.
[Is this such a joke? His Majesty doesn't know I have you. Logically, he should think that I am a blind cat that has found a dead mouse, and shouldn't think that I have a pair of sharp eyes. ]
The system said that it also couldn't understand Emperor Yuan's thought process.
Jiang Yueyang had no choice but to continue persuading Emperor Yuan to give up this idea.
"Your Majesty, I have been in poor health since I was a child. I am afraid I cannot handle such high-intensity work."
Emperor Yuan waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, Kong Jijiu and the Minister of Personnel will assist you. When the time comes, you only need to patrol the examination room during the exam."
Originally, the imperial examination was under the charge of the Ministry of Rites, but after the incident with Minister Lin, Emperor Yuan became worried and temporarily let the Ministry of Personnel take charge.
Now that things have come to this, Jiang Yueyang had nothing else to say but to bow and accept the order.
It was already quarter of an hour later when the discussion on the imperial examination was over, and today's morning court session came to an end.
Cao Lingyue was also taken away to a place where Jiang Yueyang couldn't see.
Jiang Yueyang thought she could go and chat with General Zhenguo, but before she could call him, she was stopped by a young eunuch who said that His Majesty wanted to see her.
When she arrived at Emperor Yuan's study, she found that His Majesty had called more than one person.
The Crown Prince, the Left Prime Minister, the Right Prime Minister, the Jingzhao Yin, Lu Yunting and General Zhenguo were all there.
Jiang Yueyang first saluted Emperor Yuan, then walked to stand next to Lu Yunting.
Lu Yunting came here to report to Emperor Yuan, but he failed to meet him last time.
When Emperor Yuan saw that everyone had arrived, he said, "Prince Rong's military advisor Xiao Shan requested that his death be exchanged for the lives of all the rebels, and I agreed.
But Xie Xu begged me for mercy, hoping that I would spare his life. What do you think? Should we kill this man or not? "
[Alas~ Another innocent person affected by the imperial examination fraud.] The system suddenly spoke.
【What? 】Jiang Yueyang asked subconsciously.
System explanation: [Xiao Shan also had his examination paper replaced by someone else. But he was smarter than Li Cheng, and knew that he could not defeat those people, and he would lose his life if he was not careful, so he did not seek justice for himself.
Later, he became the staff of Prince Rong under the recommendation of others. Prince Rong promised Xiaoshan that as long as he took that position, he would let Xiaoshan be responsible for the imperial examination and promised that he would never interfere in the imperial examination.
Xiaoshan didn't want anyone else to have their test paper replaced like he did and lose the reputation that should have belonged to him.
He wanted to change the normal situation of cheating in the imperial examinations. He wanted all candidates to be treated fairly and justly and to enter the government with their own abilities. Therefore, in order to realize this ambition, he agreed to assist Prince Rong in his rebellion.
Jiang Yueyang felt mixed emotions after hearing what the system said.
Xiao Shan was willing to sacrifice his own life in exchange for the survival of thousands of soldiers. This shows that he has a sense of justice in his heart and is not a bad person.
But it is also true that he assisted Prince Rong in his rebellion.
At this time, the right prime minister came out and said, "Your Majesty, I think Xiaoshan is a man of great righteousness and can be kept for use."
"I second the motion." General Zhenguo said, "I have learned about the man in Xiaoshan from the rebels. He is knowledgeable and has given advice to Prince Rong many times and solved many difficult problems. I am afraid that even the Right Prime Minister could not handle some of these things as well as he did."
"My dear minister, you have spoken highly of him." Emperor Yuan looked at the others present, "What do you think?"
[Don’t look at me, don’t look at me, I don’t want to answer. ] Jiang Yueyang muttered in her heart.
Upon hearing this, Emperor Yuan curled his lips and said, "Jiang Yueyang, tell me what you think."
Jiang Yueyang: I knew it!
"Your Majesty, I think what the Right Prime Minister said is right. Xiao Shan is a kind-hearted man, brave and resourceful. If he can be brought back to the court, he will surely be of use to Your Majesty."
Emperor Yuan nodded and said, "Since you, my dear ministers, have said so, then I will spare his life for now.
By the way, Jiang Yueyang, I've thought about it and it's really a bit too much work for you to patrol the examination room alone."
[Hmmmm, you just found out about this? ]
"So I decided..." Emperor Yuan deliberately took a deep breath.
Jiang Yueyang looked at him with sparkling eyes, [So you decided to change people? ]
"I have decided to let the Crown Prince help you inspect the examination room."
The smile on Jiang Yueyang's face suddenly froze and then disappeared.
[Your Majesty must be trying to make me and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince develop a relationship. How treacherous! ]
Emperor Yuan asked the Crown Prince to help Jiang Yueyang share the work, and he really wanted to bring her and the Crown Prince together.
In the past, he didn’t really want Jiang Yueyang to be his daughter-in-law.
But now he has changed his mind. In Jiang Yueyang's situation, it is not suitable for her to marry anyone, so she can only marry into the royal family.
And, to be honest, Jiang Yueyang is a quite likable person. It would be better if she could be more ladylike.
