The thief of the fortress dominates the world

Chapter 563 The Resurrected Scholar

After Jiang Chuan read all the top ten papers, especially one of them carefully, the doubt in his eyes became more serious.

"Xuanxuan, come in." Jiang Chuan thought for a while, then raised his head and called out the door.

Qi Xuan walked in from the outside, "Your Highness, what are your orders?"

"Look at this paper, the most important thing is to look at the handwriting." Jiang Chuan took out one of the papers and handed it to Qi Xuan.

Qi Xuan took it, and after looking it over carefully, she raised her head and said, "Your Highness, this handwriting looks familiar, as if I've seen it somewhere before."

"Do you still remember the letters I sent you?" Jiang Chuan reminded.

"I remembered, this handwriting is exactly the same as those on those letters, isn't it?" Qi Xuan came back to her senses, her eyes widened in surprise.

"That Liu Yong is probably not dead. But this matter is very strange, I will let someone find out. Don't tell Miss Liu just now." Jiang Chuan thought for a while and said in a deep voice.

"Yes, Your Highness." Qi Xuan thought to herself that if this Liu Yong really did not die, then Miss Liu would be very happy.

The cabinet is on duty, and the first assistant Xia Junze and the household minister Liu Ji are among them, and the two are discussing the matter of Enke this time.

"Unexpectedly, we set the admission standard so low that less than a hundred people can pass the line. It's really unbelievable." Chief Assistant Xia Junze leaned on the chair, sipped a cup of tea and said with emotion.

Liu Ji has now been promoted from the position of the Youdu Yushi of the Inspectorate to the post of Household Minister. This is a heavenly official, a real boss.

Although many people were not convinced in private, but Jiang Chuan personally ordered, and no one dared to say anything.After all, the graves of those who fought against him before are already very high.

"The world is turbulent, and many scholars have died. In addition, this time Enke does not take stereotyped essays, four books and five classics. The format and content of the test are brand new. 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? After all, His Highness has high hopes for Enke this time." Xia Junze sighed.

Liu Ji secretly laughed in his heart that the chief minister deliberately asked His Highness's thoughts from him, but he didn't say it directly, but put on such an appearance of worrying about the country and the people, he is an old fox.

"George, please relax. Although Your Highness values ​​Enke this time, he is already prepared for this kind of outcome. After all, His Highness wants real talents, not those who are just pretending to be good. This kind of result, As the situation in the world gradually calms down, next year will definitely be much better." Liu Ji said with a smile.

"Master Liu is His Highness's minister, so he naturally understands His Highness. With His Excellency's words, I will feel at ease." Xia Junze said with a smile.

"Elder Ge made a slip of the tongue. You and I are both His Highness's most trustworthy people. If it weren't for this, we wouldn't be sitting in the cabinet. Therefore, Elder Ge, be careful with your words." Liu Ji said seriously.

Xia Junze was taken aback for a moment, and hurriedly laughed, "It's the old man who made a slip of the tongue. Brother Bowen reminded me right."

Liu Ji also smiled lightly, stopped talking, and immersed himself in reviewing the memorial.

A clerk walked in quietly and said in a low voice: "You two elders, Your Highness has sent someone over to deliver a message."

Hearing the words, the two hurriedly got up, adjusted their clothes, and then said: "Please."

The clerk hurried out of the duty room again, and then walked in with one person.

Liu Ji knew this person, he was a scribe who served by Jiang Chuan's side.

"The student has met the two adults." The scribe bowed and saluted.

"Scribe Li is exempt from courtesy, what orders does Your Highness have?" Liu Ji asked.

"His Highness asked the students to come over and inform the two adults that they will meet all the candidates selected for the Enke Scholars Selection in the Palace of Political Affairs tomorrow morning," said the clerk.

"Please report back to Your Highness, the ministers and others must have made proper arrangements." The two said in unison.

After the clerk left, the two sent people to make arrangements to inform all the candidates who were selected this time about what happened tomorrow.

This is not an easy task. Before Jiang Chuan formally interviews these people, they must be properly trained in etiquette, including addressing, kneeling etiquette, and answering etiquette. Dishonored.

Moreover, these people must be inspected in advance and arranged in advance, so that if someone is late or not, they will also be searched when entering the palace to ensure that these people do not carry sharp weapons with them, etc.

It can be said that there are many things to do, and there is only one day.

These things are basically the responsibility of the Ministry of Rites. When the Minister of Rites got the news, he looked bitter and hurried to arrange it.

………………

Jiang Chuan raised his head from a pile of documents, stretched his waist, and rubbed his cheeks to make himself more comfortable.

Although many things are done by the cabinet now, and I am only doing the final check on some major events, I am still busy every day.

Now he really understands how difficult it is to be a boss, so that he sometimes regrets leading troops into customs.

Today's court system is actually unsound and somewhat chaotic.The world has not yet been completely settled, Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong are still running around, and the Zheng family is not peaceful, so his focus is still on the military.

Whether it is the reorganization of the army, the development and purchase of weapons and equipment, the mobilization and recruitment of new troops, training, and logistical support, 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 there are Liu Ji, Su Qin and the others to assist, there is still a feeling that no one is available.

Moreover, many institutions of the imperial court are still in a chaotic state where old and new coexist. Some old yamen have not been abolished, and new institutions have been established. , or the situation where both yamen have to manage it.

This is also something that can't be helped, after all, a transition period is needed.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, which made him feel much better.

With his eyes closed, Jiang Chuan breathed out timidly, and said slowly: "Your technique has improved again, it seems to be different from before."

"Sister Liu taught me this. She knows some medical skills, and this method 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 and good girl. Besides, I think His Highness also values ​​Sister Liu. Otherwise, let her stay in the mansion from now on." Qi Xuan joked.

"Is your statement insincere? Do you want to give yourself another competitor?" Jiang Chuan asked with a chuckle.

"The posture of Pu Liu, the slave girl, how can I get into His Highness's eyes. She is a stunning beauty like Sister Bai. Hasn't His Highness not explained to her yet?" Qi Xuan said angrily.

Hearing her talk about Bai Jinxiu, Jiang Chuan sighed and stopped talking.

It's been a long time since I saw her, if Qi Xuan didn't mention it, I wouldn't have thought of her.

Thinking of a woman who was running back and forth for him outside, accompanied by danger every day, while he was sitting peacefully in this palace, Jiang Chuan suddenly felt a little sorry.
