Chapter 222: The Near Water Tower Gets the Moon First

Liu Ru finally agreed to live in the palace, and Qi Xuan didn't say much, just told her her story.

Although Liu Ru is young, she is very intelligent. She knew that if His Royal Highness the Regent really had any thoughts about herself, she would not have the slightest ability to resist.

It's because he thinks too much, His Highness is just a kindness.

A carriage was sent to take Liu Rushi to pick up her luggage and the maid. After the arrangement, Qi Xuan walked into Jiang Chuan's office room.

"Your Highness, Miss Liu agreed." Qi Xuan said softly.

"Hmm." Jiang Chuan sat behind the desk and looked at the documents in his hand.

"Your Highness, can you really help Miss Liu find her brother?" Qi Xuan hesitated for a moment and asked softly.

Jiang Chuan glanced up at her, got up and said, "You come with me." Then he walked to the small study in the Xinuan Pavilion.

Qi Xuan followed and walked over.

Jiang Chuan found a book from the bookshelf in the study, then took out a few letters from the book and handed them to Qi Xuan: "Look at this." ”

Qi Xuan took the letter curiously, and when she saw the words "Little Sister is like a personal opener" on the envelope, her heart jumped, and she raised her head to look at Jiang Chuan.

"These letters and these books were seized from Hai Dongqing when he was in Liaodong." Jiang Chuan said in a deep voice.

Qi Xuan realized this, opened the envelope and quickly read the content, and her expression became complicated.

"Your Highness, is this Liu Yong?" Qi Xuan asked in a low voice.

"I later asked Bai Mu to torture Hai Dongqing, and he admitted that he had robbed and killed a merchant, and there was a scholar among them. These things were found in the scholar's luggage. ”

Qi Xuan was silent for a while before continuing to speak softly.

"Your Highness, I know that you are afraid that Miss Liu will not be able to accept it for a while, so you didn't tell her about it directly. But hiding it from her like this is more cruel after all. I think she has been looking for so long, although there is still hope in her heart, but she must have thought about this possibility a long time ago. ”

"You're right, you should have told her at the time. It's just that when the words came to my lips, I relented. Maybe I'm thinking too much, and like you said, she might be able to accept the result calmly. In the troubled times, there are too many people who have died, and one Liu Yong is nothing. It's just that I always feel that this world is desperate enough, and it may be better to live and hope a little. ”

Jiang Chuan's words were a little melancholy, and his tone was a little lonely.

Qi Xuan had never seen the man in front of her say such a thing in front of her, in her impression, this man was very calm and decisive in the face of everything, even when the more than 700 people who broke the law were executed in Hulugu, there was no such emotion.

Qi Xuan originally thought that he had been by Jiang Chuan's side for so long, and he already knew this highness very well. But today, she realized that she didn't seem to know much about this highness.

Human beings are complex, and many times they don't know themselves.

Many people talk about things that have not happened, thinking that they will be how they will be when the time comes, all kinds of rationality and all kinds of intelligence.

But when it really happened, he was often panicked, and he was not as wise and calm as he imagined.

The most common example is in the face of life and death issues.

Almost everyone has imagined what they will do when they are diagnosed with a terminal illness.

Many people will feel very indifferently that they will not spend money and time on meaningless treatments, but will spend the rest of their time visiting famous mountains and rivers, doing what they have always wanted to do but did not do, and trying their best to make up for the regrets in life.

But when that day really comes, almost the vast majority of people will cry and shout for the doctor to save them, tell their families not to give up on themselves, and even scold when their emotions are at their most intense, without any so-called rationality and optimism.

That's human nature, you never know how you're going to behave in the face of something.

Jiang Chuan originally planned to hand over these letters directly to Liu Ruye, but he didn't know why he temporarily changed his mind when he opened his mouth.

Maybe it's because of the strange protective psychology that men have in the face of weak girls, or because of her bright smile.

Maybe it's because of the glint of hope in her eyes.

Jiang Chuan was not immersed in this emotion, but quickly regained his usual calm, and said to Qi Xuan: "You can keep these letters first, and then find a suitable opportunity to tell her later." You can arrange her affairs in the house. ”

Qi Xuan nodded and said softly, "Well, I know." ”

Liu Ruyi's matter is just a small episode for Jiang Chuan. The result is already doomed, all that remains is to find a suitable opportunity to tell her the truth of the matter.

Of course, let Liu Ru stay in the palace, his selfishness.

My Fair Lady, a gentleman, living in is close to the water, and there are more opportunities to get to know each other.

People have to get closer to see clearly.

He still had a lot of things to do, so he put this matter behind him for the time being.

Jiang Chuan regretted entering the customs a little, since entering Beijing, he has been busy every day to death, it is better to operate his own one-acre and three-point land outside the customs, which is beautiful, why bother to be a tired model worker?

It's just that this kind of thought is just a thought, and there is no if in life. Especially in the matter of dominating the world, if you don't advance, you will retreat.

Even if you don't want to provoke others, it doesn't mean that others won't provoke you.

If you want to clean up, you have to kill all the threatening guys in your sight to clean up for a while.

In the afternoon, the cabinet sent the admission results of the last Enke scholars, and asked Jiang Chuan to select the top ten first-class scholars.

After months of preparation, the exam was finally held as scheduled in early September.

Since it was Enco, it was decided on an ad hoc basis, and many procedural aspects were simplified.

And because of the current situation, there are not too many scholars who can participate.

This time the exam is still organized by the Ministry of Etiquette, but the form of the questions and the selection of questions are all approved by Jiang Chuan.

And there are not too many restrictions on the qualifications for the examination, as long as it is a scholar in the Ming Dynasty, you can participate, and there is no limit to the grade of merit, whether you are a talent or a person or a jinshi, you can participate.

Although this regulation caused a great controversy in the DPRK and China, and many officials from Jinshi shouted that it was a shame that they were in the same dynasty as Xiucai, Jiang Chuan remained unmoved and vigorously implemented this regulation.

He didn't do the Four Books and Five Classics in the exam, to see who did well in the scriptures and righteousness, and who wrote the Bagu essay well. Rather, it depends on the person's insight and judgment ability into the general trend of the world, his ability to recognize and analyze practice, and even the mastery of basic common sense in arithmetic.

These things are the basic qualities and requirements of government.

The purpose of the inspection is different, and the natural registration qualifications and examination methods are also different.
