Meng Yuan has a great weight in the emperor's heart, but in fact, everyone knows it at a glance and does not attach great importance to it.

But although Meng Yuan is suspected of favoritism, he also has some talents. Such officials are probably not uncommon in the court, and the emperor only turns a blind eye on weekdays, as long as they do things.

Donglin Shuo couldn't help but be happy when he saw her ice and snow smartness, and said with a light smile: "General Chu is really thorough." ”

Chu Nanyue smiled at him, and already had an idea in his heart.

After she returned to the General's Mansion, she had no intention of doing her own thing with peace of mind, because the Criminal Department has always been resolute, and she has been waiting for the news from the Criminal Department.

Within a few days, Qingshuang, who was in charge of finding out the news every day, came back and said: "Lord Shangshu of the Criminal Department has already spread the news, saying that Meng Yuan and Liu Yiyang have both confessed, but Your Majesty has not yet convicted the two. ”

Chu Nanyue knew that this was because the emperor had a difficult choice, and at this critical time, he must have begun to summon ministers in the imperial study.

Chu Nanyue sent someone to investigate, but she only heard that the emperor had summoned a few princes, and she couldn't help but guess that she had nothing to do, but she was summoned by the emperor at noon.

Chu Nanyue expected that after meeting with the three princes, the emperor had not yet made up his mind, which showed that the princes did not dare to form a party, so they were reluctant to do too much and did not give the emperor much advice.

So when the emperor asked about himself, Chu Nanyue said: "Your Majesty, although the last general is a military general, he also knows the ruthlessness of the law. Now Lord Chu is in front of hundreds of civil and military officials, and he will tell the two of them for their crimes, if they are not severely punished, they are only afraid of causing controversy. ”

The emperor frowned and said, "General Chu's words, I naturally understand, but now that there are so few talents in the court, Meng Yuan is also dutiful, I can't bear to lose a talent." ”

"Your Majesty, haven't you forgotten that Wang Chang, the current squire of the military department, is a rare talent." Chu Nanyue replied. "His Majesty has seen his performance with his own eyes, and if there is a little flaw, it is that he is inexperienced in the court."

The emperor's eyes lit up, because of the incident with the martial arts this time, he didn't want to mention these new science and technology scholars again, Chu Nanyue took the initiative to mention Wang Chang, and he remembered Wang Chang's demeanor when he took the palace test.

"The Wang Chang you are talking about, in the past few months, he is also excellent." The Emperor thought for a moment.

Chu Nanyue knew that rashly recommending someone would inevitably seem too urgent, so she took the initiative to mention Wang Chang's shortcomings, and said: "But Your Majesty also needs to pay attention, because of the favoritism and fraud of the martial arts, the country will inevitably suspect other candidates except Liu Yiyang, and Wang Chang will inevitably be criticized." ”

At this time, it is a risk to appoint a minister who is likely to cause controversy.

The emperor waved his hand and said, "General Chu, this is not a problem. As long as all the fraud in the martial arts examination is investigated and everything is open and honest, there will be no more gossip in the country. ”

Chu Nanyue saw that the emperor's attitude seemed to be loosened, so he said: "Your Majesty has a heart of love for talents, and the last general admires it. ”

"Okay, I know what I know, you can step down." The Emperor said.

Chu Nanyue retreated from the imperial study, although the emperor didn't say anything today, his attitude was already very obvious.

There is not a single minister in the court who has not come up little by little. If you don't give them a chance, how can you try out their talents?

Since the emperor is not dissatisfied with Wang Chang today, the vacant post of secretary of the military department must be given to Wang Chang.

As Chu Nanyue expected, within a few days, the emperor finally convicted Meng Yuan and Liu Yiyang of capital crimes. At the same time, Wang Chang was also promoted to the youngest secretary of the military department, in charge of the military department.

Wang Chang thanked the emperor for his kindness, and said that he would serve the dogs and horses in the future.

And all the ministers in the palace were still sighing until the next dynasty.

Wang Chang has less experience, and he is from the martial arts, and being able to be so valued by the emperor has made many people red-eyed.

Chu Nanyue's face was not shocked, and he went out of the palace all the way, but when he got into the carriage, he was blocked by Dongling Yan.

"General Chu, you have always liked to hide your merits and fame, and today you left quietly, and no one knows your merits." Donglin Yan raised his eyebrows and chuckled.

Chu Nanyue's face was at a loss: "What does His Royal Highness King Qi mean by this?" What credit do I have to do today? ”

Dongling Yan glanced at her, then changed his tone and said lightly: "It's nothing." ”

Chu Nanyue knew that he was deceiving himself, if he really panicked because of his words, then he really lost his general's spirit.

"His Royal Highness the King of Qi, how is the Princess of Qi?" Chu Nanyue asked.

At the mention of Chu Nanxin, Dongling Yan was obviously displeased, and only replied: "The fetus in the womb is very good, and General Lao Chu is worried." ”

Chu Nanyue saw his face, so he didn't ask any more.

This greeted Chu Nanxin on the surface, but Dongling Yan's reply did not mention Chu Nanxin at all. Although others didn't know, how could the two of them not know that Chu Nanxin had no child in his womb at all.

Dongling Yan now only cares about the child in Lu Qi's womb, and he refuses to even mention a word of Chu Nanxin.

While speaking, Dongling Yan had already moved out of the way again, while Chu Nanyue hurriedly got into Qingshuang's carriage.

After returning to the General's Mansion, Chu Nanyue went to bed early at night, but he didn't feel stable.

Faintly, she dreamed of a nightmare she hadn't had for a long time!

I saw Chu Nanxin pinching her neck, and Zhao Jingyu appeared in a hurry, and as soon as the sleeve arrow in his hand came out, he was about to shoot her to death!

Chu Nanyue struggled, but her heart didn't hurt, her eyes were confused, and she saw that Chu Nanxin had become Xie Yinhua, and Zhao Jingyu, who had shot arrows at herself, had also become Donglin Shuo.

Chu Nanyue looked at Dongling Shuo incredulously, and felt unbearable pain in her heart.

"General, general, wake up......" came the call of Qingshuang in his ears.

Chu Nanyue opened her eyes dimly, only to see Qingshuang looking at her anxiously, and her clothes were soaked with sweat, and the hair on her forehead was also wet.

"General, are you having nightmares again?" Qingshuang cared.

Since she followed Chu Nanyue's side, she knew that Chu Nanyue had nightmares. But in recent months, Chu Nanyue no longer has nightmares. Who knew that tonight would look even more terrifying than before.

"General, take a sip of tea." Qingshuang poured water on the table.

"It's fine." Chu Nanyue waved her hand, "I'll take it slowly, you go down to sleep, it's late at night." ”

Although Qingshuang was worried, she had no choice but to obey.

And Chu Nanyue was shocked, and the scenes in the dream were still floating in his mind.

When Donglin Shuo in the dream shot the arrow into his body, Chu Nanyue was in pain that he had never felt before.

This pain was different from the death in the previous life, and it was only at that moment that Chu Nanyue realized that her trust in Tanglin Shuo was really deep, so deep that she didn't believe that Donglin Shuo would hurt herself.

Although it is a dream, it is more like a heart knot.

Chu Nanyue's hatred for Zhao Jingyu and Chu Nanxin has gradually let go.

But she asked herself, what about the secret feelings for Tanglin Shuo in her heart?
