Chapter 421 Su Ling’s Gift



Within two days, the test results came out. For those who performed well, the court would even send someone to deliver the test results.

Mu Yuan happened to be on the list of candidates who had performed well in the exam. When the servant saw the official coming to announce the good news, he was extremely surprised and hurried to call Mu Yuan out.

Mu Yuan was also very happy when he saw the clerk coming to deliver the documents.

In the past few years, he has been studying very hard. Only he knows the hardships he has gone through to get the top rankings in the exams.

"Sir? I wonder what Miss Liu Yu's ranking is?" Mu Yuan stuffed a few bills into the official's hand. "This is for tea, sir."

Seeing that Mu Yuan was so understanding, the few people were very satisfied and told him directly about Liu Yu's situation.

Mu Yuan ranked fifth this time, while Liu Yu, who happened to be slightly higher than him, ranked fourth.

"I knew that Miss Liu Yu was amazing." Mu Yuan said admiringly. He had been smart and arrogant since he was a child, and not everyone looked up to him. Liu Yu was the person he admired. Of course, he also had some other thoughts.

Now that he heard that Liu Yu had passed the exam, Mu Yuan was still very happy.

Zhao Qingrui looked at the list of names sent to him and the test papers completed by these people, and became more and more satisfied.

In recent years, with the emergence of the imperial examination system, the proportion of textbooks in the examination content has gradually decreased, and more attention has been paid to keeping up with current affairs.

The officials selected by the Qin Dynasty were truly capable of handling various affairs, rather than just being able to recite poems and compose couplets.

Although a test paper cannot fully reflect the abilities of those people, it can still reflect part of it.

Zhao Qingrui couldn't help but raise the corners of her lips. In the future, there will be more and more talented people in Daqin.

When we agree on the five-year plan next year, we will have to discuss the imperial examination system and expand the population.

The number of officials that Daqin currently recruits every year is still insufficient.

"Is Your Majesty very happy?" Shang Lian saw the smile on Zhao Qingrui's face when he was sorting out the memorials.

"Yes, Daqin is getting better and better, and there are more and more outstanding talents. This is a great thing." Zhao Qingrui said calmly.

"It is indeed a good thing. With more talented people, Your Majesty will have an easier time in the future." Shang Lian nodded in agreement. After Zhao Qingrui ascended the throne, she basically stayed by her side, taking care of her life and watching her daily diligence.

"Yes, I really want to have a good rest." Zhao Qingrui smiled. She was originally a lazy person, but in recent years, she was so worn out by the messy affairs of Daqin that she almost forgot her true nature.

The days of pregnancy were a bit boring for Zhao Qingrui, as she still had to spend most of her time every day dealing with various government affairs.

Many matters in the court still require her to make decisions personally.

Zhao Qingrui paid more attention to the situation in the Maurya Empire and the Western Regions. There were some casualties in the Western Regions, but they were not serious. The logistics had already been handled, so there would not be any problems.

Leaning on the soft couch, looking at the night sky outside, the night sky of Daqin was very clear. Zhao Qingrui's mind drifted away, and she began to think about the child in her belly.

In the past few years as emperor, she actually didn't feel very happy, she just felt very tired. There were more and more things to do in the court, and she couldn't just sit back and watch.

As for her own children, they came so suddenly that she was unprepared.

According to her plan, she originally planned not to consider this matter for decades. After all, she lived long enough and did not have to worry about the selection of an heir.

The main reason was that the descendants of the royal family were too useless, which made her think of giving birth on her own.

I didn't expect this to happen so suddenly, and the child came at the wrong time.

Zhao Qingrui sat here for a long time before returning to the room to rest.

No one could understand her complicated feelings. Even Shang Lian felt that these two children came at the right time, as the Qin Dynasty needed an heir.

She really needed an heir and a trustworthy helper. She would definitely feel more at ease if it was her own child, but she was not prepared.

Life had to go on, and there were a lot of government affairs waiting for her, so Zhao Qingrui soon had no time to think about it.

Good news came one after another, and Zhao Qingrui was in a very good mood. Both the Maurya Empire and the Western Regions had made very good progress.

If she were in Xianyang at this time, she would definitely celebrate it properly.

Alas, she missed home a little. In just a few years, she had completely regarded the Xianyang Palace as her home. Zhao Qingrui was a little dazed.

After she found out she was pregnant, she started to have wild thoughts.

Although Zhao Qingrui is not in Xianyang now, she still has a strong control over the situation in Xianyang.

It can be said that her legend is circulating throughout the Qin Dynasty. She is a god in the eyes of the common people and a devil in the eyes of the remnants of the six kingdoms.

Especially after she cleaned up many officials in the grassland areas and sent them to labor camps, many people were wary of her, but of course, there were also those who praised her.

"Your Majesty, it's raining heavily outside. Our journey will be delayed for a few days." Shang Lian came to report the situation outside.

As a person who likes to plan everything, Shang Lian felt a little annoyed by these things that disrupted his plans.

Through the window, Zhao Qingrui looked at the heavy rain outside, and his expression did not change much.

"Then stay for a few days. Let the guards strengthen their vigilance and don't let anyone approach my residence at will." Zhao Qingrui said lightly.

"Okay, I'll arrange it right away." Shang Lian responded respectfully.

"By the way, Your Majesty, this is the list of assignments for those who passed the exam." Shang Lian took out the list of officials who passed the exam and presented it to Zhao Qingrui.
