Chapter 154 Reminder
"Princess, I have arrived at the military camp. From what I have seen, the Duke of Zhenguo has been repeatedly bullied. Fortunately, a general named Nan assisted him and won the trust of the soldiers in the army."
"Princess, we have fought several battles with the Li Kingdom recently. Both sides have won and lost. Neither side has been able to gain an advantage. The Duke of Zhenguo has been at the forefront. Even though he was injured, he still rushed to the front line and refused to rest."
"My lord, the general named Nan mentioned earlier seems to have corresponded with the capital, and I don't know if he is an enemy or a friend. There is no doubt about his identity, but I don't know if he is an old friend of yours. I have attached his portrait for your reference."
……
Since Nan Nan left, Jiang Yunxi took over all the secret lines in Beijing.
She unfolded the portrait mentioned in Nan Nan's letter and recognized the person in the portrait at a glance - Hua Rong, whom she had met and saved before.
Thinking of the private contact between Hua Rong and Zhao Changyu, Jiang Yunxi thought that perhaps Hua Rong was specially arranged to be by Jiang Youcai's side to monitor Jiang Youcai and report Jiang Youcai's situation to Zhao Changyu from time to time.
Jiang Yunxi wrote back to Nan Nan, "The person in the portrait is Hua Rong, the orphan of the Hua family. Although he is involved in the Yang family case, he has a close relationship with the emperor. If you are doing anything private, avoid this person."
In March, the grass is green and the birds are singing in Beijing, and many students are rushing to the capital to take exams.
This was the first imperial examination after Zhao Changyu ascended the throne. Zhao Changyu promulgated a series of measures to facilitate students' work in the capital.
It can be seen that Zhao Changyu wanted to select capable officials from among them who would serve him exclusively.
Jiang Youfei is also among the references.
Jiang Yunxi originally wanted to let Jiang Youfei enter the Censorate directly, but Jiang Youfei was determined to prove himself and had to take the imperial examination.
Jiang Yunxi would not stop him.
She knew that Mu Kang was chosen by Zhao Changyu as one of the chief examiners of this imperial examination, and he would certainly take extra care of Jiang Youfei.
------------
Zhao Changyu looked at the list of candidates who had entered the palace examination, but did not see Jiang Youfei's name.
He read Jiang Youfei's essay and felt that his essay might not be worse than those of the candidates who entered the palace examination.
"Mu Qing, why is your disciple, Jiang, not on the list?"
Mu Kang bowed and said, "I would like to ask Your Majesty to forgive me for this matter before I dare to speak."
"Go ahead." After Mu Kang said this, Zhao Changyu became interested.
"It's not that he's not on the palace examination list, he just changed his name. The Fei You on the list is him." Mu Kang answered honestly.
"He is quite tough. He abandoned the Jiang family name and insisted on doing things based on his own abilities." Zhao Changyu shook his head helplessly.
He thought to himself, "No wonder Jiang Yunxi only wanted Jiang Youcai to inherit the position of Duke."
"Yes, I have the audacity to request Your Majesty that this person should continue to work in the Censorate." Mu Kang said politely.
"It's up to you." Zhao Changyu waved his hand. "How is the investigation of the Yuan family going?"
Mu Kang then presented the memorial in his hand to Zhao Changyu for him to read.
Zhao Changyu closed the memorial and nodded, "Continue investigating. Be more secretive."
Mu Kang clasped his fists and said, "Your Majesty, I have one more thing to ask."
Mu Kang's tone suddenly became solemn, and Zhao Changyu looked up to listen.
"The princess is a free-spirited person. Imprisoning her is like slow slicing. If Your Majesty really hates the princess, please grant her death; if not, please let her leave the palace." Mu Kang knew that since Zhao Changyu hadn't killed Jiang Yunxi for so long, he didn't want to kill her.
He dared to speak like that.
Feng Gou was slightly surprised when he heard what he said and secretly looked at Zhao Changyu.
Zhao Changyu's expression really turned ugly. "Since we have already severed our past relationship, why are you still thinking about the old one? Since Yun Xi has already presented the letter of withdrawal of engagement, Mu Qing doesn't need to continue to pester me."
