After the emperor placed all his people into the six ministries, there are still some vacancies.

Those positions don't seem to be high, but they are also very important, so the emperor was distressed, and directly found Jiang Zhan and several other ministers to discuss the candidates.

This time, more than 20 officials were investigated by the DPRK and China, and the people of the capital felt turmoil and unrest.

However, those people are usually high, and the people don't know them at all.

So even if they do die, it won't affect their lives.

"Your Majesty, the scientific examination is imminent, it is better for you to directly advance the date by a few months, just enough to test the candidates' slack at home!" Jiang Zhan felt that this was the best way to deal with this matter.

"I almost forgot about the scientific expedition!" In a few months, there will be the triennial imperial examination.

At this time, students from all over the world will come to the capital to take the exam.

However, these people who come to the exam are all students who must have a reputation for themselves.

The scientific examination and drug production are very strict, so as to select talents for the imperial court, relatively speaking, there are not so many rules for martial arts, but to participate in martial arts, someone must recommend them.

The martial arts are also held once every three years, and the men selected are all outstanding in martial arts, as long as the kung fu of horseback riding and archery is first-class, you can go and give it a try.

The imperial examination is different, you have to know everything in the four books and five classics, and when you take the exam, you have to ask the person's mind.

"Wei Chen thinks that Lord Jiang's proposal is very good, and now there is no suitable candidate in the court, so it is better to promote someone who is knowledgeable and capable!" The other ministers agreed.

Subsequently, the emperor ordered someone to announce the advance of the imperial examination to the world.

In any case, he must select the most suitable person in the shortest possible time to take over the vacant post in the DPRK.

What's more, the background of those candidates, the emperor will find out in advance before appointing them......

After the news of the imperial examination spread, countless candidates panicked.

After all, the time of each exam is fixed, but now it is suddenly advanced, and they are afraid that something will happen.

However, some well-prepared candidates don't care much about this, and they are waiting for this day.

When the emperor and the ministers of the court were busy with the imperial examination, Jiang Zhan was idle.

He has already dealt with the affairs of the Criminal Department, and now that the corrupt officials in the court have been eliminated, and there are no new cases in the capital, Jiang Zhan, who is in charge of the Criminal Department, naturally has nothing to do.

Now, Xue Yao is more than four months pregnant, so the clothes she wears are looser than before.

Jiang Zhan saw that she was in good spirits, so he deliberately took her out shopping.

None of them have been able to walk in the market for a few days......

"There are more and more students coming to the capital, and I heard from the shopkeeper that our inn is already full!" Xue Yao saw that there were many more scholars on the street, and a smile flashed in her eyes.

Among these people, there must be officials in the same dynasty as Jiang Zhan in the future, Xue Yao hopes that they can all take charge of themselves as soon as possible, and Jiang Zhan will be able to retire as soon as possible.

Although he came back voluntarily this time, the husband and wife still didn't plan to stay until Jiang Zhanzhishi's day.

When the emperor needed them, they came without hesitation, but they had their own plans and had not yet realized them.

This time, Xue Yao and the fetus in her womb almost died of someone else's plot, although they were saved by Murong Shi, they also experienced countless twists and turns.

If they didn't come back, Xue Yao wouldn't have encountered these dangerous things at all, and Jiang Zhan's heart had never been calm.

However, Jiang Zhan never planned to leave just like that, after all, the court had just stabilized, and there could be no one around the emperor.

When Xue Yao and Jiang Zhan went to their restaurant to find something, they overheard the guests of the restaurant mention something.

It is said that there is a very prosperous boat parked on the lake outside the city, and there are many beautiful women on board, and it is very lively to sing and dance on it every day.

"There has never been such a thing in the capital in the past, is it related to the imperial examination?" Before they came to the capital, the imperial court had just held the imperial examination, so they didn't get to see that grand occasion.

"You want to see it?" Jiang Zhan knows his wife's lively nature.

Xue Yao has a great curiosity about all new things.

"I do want to go, but it's inconvenient right now, so I still don't want to go!" Xue Yao was a little interested in that boat, but she was pregnant with a child now, so it was not easy to go to too crowded places.

Jiang Zhan knew that she took care of the child in her belly, so she didn't say anything more.

After all, there were indeed a lot of people in that place, and there were a mixture of dragons and snakes, Jiang Zhan didn't want her to have the slightest mistake with the child.

However, Jiang Zhan didn't want Xue Yao to spoil her happiness, after all, she was pregnant with a child, so she should have a more relaxed life.

Recently, there have been too many things in the court, and Xue Yao is also frightened, Jiang Zhan always feels a little sorry for her.

If he didn't agree to come back, Xue Yao was only afraid that he would be happy and comfortable in Jiangnan now, and he would not experience these thrilling things.

So Jiang Zhan specially ordered someone to inquire about the situation of the ship.

Jiang Zhan wanted to know who the owner of the boat was, why it was docked by the lake, and whether he had found those dancing girls.

Although he felt that his ideas were a bit of a pawn, Jiang Zhan did not intend to let go of the slightest evidence and other possibilities.

"Master, we went to inquire, but we didn't find out the owner of that ship!" Jiang Zhan's subordinates thought of a lot of ways, but they always found out the identity of the other party.

However, they learned that there were special private rooms on the ship for the use of distinguished guests.

After all, those who like to go on the boat are not only students who come to the capital to participate in the imperial examination, but also officials of the imperial court.

They go there to listen to songs and dances, which is also a pastime.

In ancient times, women were in a low position, and generally obeyed their husbands' arrangements, and there were very few women who could make their own decisions at home.

Therefore, men are relatively more free, while women have to run the family to raise children and support the elderly.

Even if there are slaves in the house, they have a lot to do.

Jiang Zhan has lived in the Jiang family since he was a child, and the Hu family and Jiang Zhengfang are also male and female.

However, Jiang Zhengfang never took a concubine, even if the Hu family only gave birth to a son for him, and the two had no heirs, he never thought of finding other women to extend his heirs......

Jiang Zhan is still somewhat influenced by him, as long as a man has children, he doesn't need to care about how much, not to mention finding some women to go back, fighting for the family property, and in the end it will only become a source of disaster.

What's more, when he first tasted love, he gave Xue Yao a heart, where did he still have the heart to like other people.

After he learned that there was an independent space on that ship, he planned to take Xue Yao over, so he specially ordered his subordinates to book a seat.

Xue Yao has always been very careful for the sake of the child, and if he hadn't accompanied him personally, he wouldn't have even gone out of the door.

Jiang Zhan secretly arranged everything, just to surprise her.

After all, even if she is pregnant, she should not give up what she wants to do for this, in Jiang Zhan's heart, she is more important than the child.

"Have you really booked a private room?" When Jiang Zhan told her about this, Xue Yao was both shocked and happy.

She was afraid that the child would make a mistake, and she was always very nervous, but in fact, Murong Shi persuaded her to open her heart, don't think so much, the child will be born safely.

However, Xue Yao just couldn't relax, she felt uncomfortable when she thought that the poison in her body had still not been completely lifted.

Murong Shi's medicine only restrained the poison in her body to ensure that the child could grow up normally, if she wanted to completely remove it, she had to wait until the child was born, because there was a medicinal herb in the antidote, which would harm the fetus.

Jiang Zhan knew her intentions, so he kept comforting her.

She thought that the system could scan her body at any time, so she didn't take any chances.

"I've ordered someone to take care of it, and we'll just go over later!" Jiang Zhan looked at her dotingly.

"Thank you, Ah Zhan!" Xue Yao leaned into his arms and said.

"You conceived a child for me, I can't share it for you, I just want you to be happy!" Jiang Zhan took her hand and went straight back to the room to change clothes.

Although there are many pure natural skin care products that can be used by pregnant women in the system, Xue Yao has not used them much.

Her skin foundation is already good, but after she became pregnant, her skin was even more white and red, and she didn't look like a pregnant woman at all.

So Xue Yao felt that she was probably pregnant with a daughter.

Jiang Zhan didn't care much about boys and girls, but he was happy when he thought that in the future, he would have a daughter Cheng Huan who looked very similar to himself and Xue Yao.

After Ling Haoxuan learned about it, he was also looking forward to having a younger sister, after all, he used to be the only son in the family, although there were several senior brothers of the same age as him in Feiyun Gate, but there were no girls......

Xue Yao specially ordered the embroidery lady to prepare a lot of little girls' clothes, and Jiang Zhan would also buy them back if he saw beautiful cloth and jewelry.

In the evening, after Jiang Zhan and Xue Yao went over together, they found that the boat was more lively than they expected many times.

When Xue Yao was in the private room, the people on the boat brought snacks and tea.

They felt good while watching the dance and drinking tea.

"This snack tastes pretty good!" Xue Yao is pregnant, so she is not hungry faster than ordinary people.

She smelled the good taste of the dim sum, so she ate two pieces, and it turned out to be quite delicious.

"If you like it, we'll buy some later!" Xue Yao saw that she was eating very deliciously, and her eyes were full of pity.

Recently, Xue Yao's morning sickness reaction has been reduced a lot, but she has never had much appetite, and she has eaten less than usual.

In order to let her eat more, Jiang Zhan tried his best.

Now that she liked the dim sum here, he suddenly had other ideas.

"Okay!" Xue Yao rarely had an appetite and ate the entire plate of dim sum.

"Drink some water and don't choke." He poured a glass of water and handed it to Xue Yao.

Since having children, Xue Yao has rarely touched tea.

Although she didn't pay attention to these in ancient times, she knew that pregnant women drinking tea was not good for the fetus.

"Ah Zhan, you also eat a piece!" During this period, in order to keep her from being hungry, Jiang Zhan asked people to send several snacks over.

Although he didn't like sweets, he still opened his mouth and accepted the snacks fed by Xue Yao.

"Not bad indeed!" After Jiang Zhan tasted it, he also felt that the dim sum was very delicious, sweet but not greasy, and he didn't feel uncomfortable after eating too much, but felt a sense of satisfaction.

So Jiang Zhan simply went to the steward of the ship.
