Chapter 224: The Resurrected Scholar
After Jiang Chuan read all the top ten volumes, especially after reading one of them carefully, the doubt in his eyes became even heavier.
"Xuanxuan, come in." Jiang Chuan thought about it, raised his head and shouted outside the door.
Qi Xuan walked in from outside, "Your Highness, what are your orders?" ”
"You look at this scroll, and the focus is on the handwriting." Jiang Chuan took out one of the rolls and handed it to Qi Xuan.
Qi Xuan took it, looked at it carefully, looked up and said, "Your Highness, this handwriting looks a little familiar, as if I have seen it somewhere." ”
"Remember those letters I gave you?" Jiang Chuan reminded.
"I remember, this handwriting is exactly the same as the handwriting on those letters, isn't it?" Qi Xuan came back to her senses and her eyes widened in surprise.
"There's a good chance that Ryu Young isn't dead. It's a weird thing, though, and I'll let someone find out. Don't tell Miss Liu yet. Jiang Chuan thought for a moment and said in a deep voice.
"Yes, Your Highness." Qi Xuan thought to herself that if this Liu Yong really didn't die, then Miss Liu would be very happy.
The cabinet is on duty, and the first assistant Xia Junze and the head of the household department Liu Ji are among them, and the two are discussing the matter of Enke this time.
"I didn't expect that we set the admission standard so low, and it was unbelievable that there were only 100 people who passed the line." Shoufu Xia Junze leaned back in the chair and took a sip of tea and sighed.
Liu Ji has now been promoted from the position of the right capital of the Inspectorate to the position of the head of the household department, this is a heavenly official, a real boss.
Although many people were not convinced in private, Jiang Chuan personally ordered, and no one dared to say anything. After all, the grave grass of those who worked with him before was already very high.
"The world is shaking, and there are many people who are killed. In addition, this time Enke does not take the Eight Shares test, does not take the Four Books and Five Classics, and the form and content of the exam are completely new, so it is not surprising that this is the first time to have such a result. Liu Ji said with a smile.
"That being said, I just don't know how His Highness will explain it? After all, His Highness has high hopes for Enke this time. Xia Junze sighed.
Liu Ji secretly laughed in his heart that Lord Shoufu deliberately inquired about His Highness's thoughts from himself, but he didn't say it directly, but he put on such a picture of worrying about the country and the people, they were all old foxes.
"Elder Ge and relax. Although His Highness values Enke this time, he has long been prepared for this kind of result. After all, His Highness wants real pillars, not those who are indiscriminate. As a result, as the situation in the world gradually calms down, next year will surely be much better. Liu Ji said with a smile.
"Lord Liu is the minister of His Royal Highness, so he naturally understands His Highness. With the words of the adult, the old man was relieved. Xia Junze said with a smile.
"The elder was speechless. You, I are all trusted people by Your Highness, and if it weren't for that, we wouldn't be sitting in this cabinet room. So, Ge Lao, be cautious. Liu Ji said.
Xia Junze was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly smiled: "It's the old man who lost his words, and Brother Berwyn reminded him right." ”
Liu Ji also smiled faintly, said no more, and buried himself in reviewing the chapter.
A scribe walked in lightly and whispered, "Two elders, Your Highness has sent someone to pass the word." ”
Hearing this, the two hurriedly got up, tidied up their clothes, and then said, "Please." ”
The scribe hurried out of the room again, and then walked in with a man.
Liu Ji knew this person, a scribe who was waiting beside Jiang Chuan.
"The student has met two adults." The scribe bowed.
"Scribe Li is exempt, what does His Highness command?" Liu Ji asked.
"Your Highness asked the students to come over and inform the two adults that tomorrow morning they will meet all the selected candidates for this Enke Scholar at the Royal Palace." The scribe said.
"Please return to Your Highness, the ministers must make proper arrangements." The two said in unison.
After the scribe left, the two sent someone to arrange to inform all the selected candidates of tomorrow's event.
This is not an easy matter, before Jiang Chuan officially receives these people, these people must be properly trained in etiquette, including salutation, kneeling etiquette, correct etiquette and other aspects, and they must also be instructed not to talk nonsense, so as not to lose the etiquette in front of the palace.
Moreover, these people should be checked in advance and arranged in advance, so that no one will be late or arrive at that time, and when they enter the palace, they must also be searched to ensure that these people are not carrying sharp weapons, etc.
It can be said that there are many things to do, and there is only one day.
These things are basically the Ministry of Rites to be busy, and when the Ministry of Rites Shangshu got the news, his face was bitter and he hurriedly went to arrange it.
………………
Jiang Chuan looked up from the pile of papers, stretched his long waist, and rubbed his cheeks to make himself comfortable.
Although many things are now done by the cabinet, and I am only the final checkkeeper on some major matters, I am still busy every day.
He now really understands that it is not easy to be a boss, so much so that from time to time he regrets leading troops into the customs.
Today's imperial court system is actually unsound and somewhat chaotic. The world has not yet been completely pacified, Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong are still bouncing, and the Zheng family is not at ease, so his focus is still on the military aspect.
Whether it is the reorganization of the army, the development and purchase of weapons and equipment, the mobilization and recruitment, training, and logistics support of the new army, these things have consumed most of his energy.
Therefore, there is not so much thought in improving the functions of the various yamen of the imperial court.
Although Liu Ji and Su Qin are assisted, they often have a feeling that no one is available.
Moreover, many institutions of the imperial court are still in a state of chaos in which the old and the new coexist, some of the old yamen have not been abolished, new institutions have been established, and many of the yamen's personnel are not complete, and there are often situations where they do not know who should be in charge of something, or both yamen have to be in charge.
This is also something that cannot be helped, after all, there needs to be a transition period. As the leader of a new regime, Jiang Chuan is actually learning and adapting.
Qi Xuan walked over gently, stood behind Jiang Chuan, and gently rubbed his temples, making him feel a lot more comfortable.
Closing his eyes, Jiang Chuan timidly exhaled a breath of turbidity, and said slowly: "Your technique has improved again, it seems that it is not the same as before." ”
"This is what Sister Liu taught me. She knows a little bit about medicine, and this technique is her own creation. Qi Xuan laughed softly.
"I didn't expect such a little girl to know a lot." Jiang Chuan sighed.
"Your Highness, Sister Liu is indeed a rare good girl. Moreover, I think His Royal Highness also values Sister Liu. Otherwise, let her stay in the house in the future. Qi Xuan joked.
"You don't mean what you say, do you? Do you wish you had one more competitor? Jiang Chuan chuckled and asked rhetorically.
"The posture of the slave and the willow, how can she enter the eyes of His Royal Highness. It's the kind of stunning beauty that Sister Bai, hasn't His Royal Highness still not given an explanation to others? Qi Xuanjiao said angrily.
Hearing her talk about Bai Jinxiu, Jiang Chuan sighed and stopped talking.
I haven't seen her for a long time, and if Qi Xuan doesn't mention it, I won't think of her.
Thinking of a woman running back and forth for herself outside, accompanied by danger every day, but sitting in this palace, Jiang Chuan suddenly felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.
