The emperor turned his gaze to look at Liu Shengyong, with an indescribable emotion in his eyes.

Then he raised his hand and said, "Okay!"

Liu Shengyong's legs were shaking badly, but compared with the cold feeling of the sword on his neck last night, the fear at this moment was not worth mentioning at all.

"Your Majesty, I was nearly killed by a gangster on my way back from duty last night. Fortunately, the prince passed by and saved me."

As soon as these words were spoken, there was a lot of discussion in the court. Some people looked at the emperor from time to time. The ministers in the court were targeted by bad guys on their way back. It can be imagined how big the problem of public security in this capital city is.

Liu Shengyong was afraid of being interrupted, so he could not speak again, so he raised his voice and continued: "I feel that since the director of the Military Horse Department retired and returned to his hometown, the public security management of this capital has been lacking.

I have heard that Lu Xiaoyu, who was ranked second in the imperial examination, is not only good at studying, but also has acquired a lot of skills. Why not let him take over the position of the head of the Military Horse Department?"

After saying this, while no one was paying attention, Liu Shengyong secretly glanced at Mu Yunyu, as if asking his master, "I performed pretty well, didn't I?"

However, Mu Yunyu's face instantly turned dark when Liu Shengyong mentioned that he was saved by him.

Last night he just gave this idea to Liu Shengyong, asking him to say in the court that he was almost killed, so as to find a position for Lu Xiaoyu to manage the security of the city. Not only can he stay in the capital, but he can also lead troops, which is the best of both worlds.

But he repeatedly warned her not to reveal her relationship with him. As a result, anyone with an eye could guess that the two had met last night, and Liu Shengyong might have been taught by him to say that.

Mu Yunyu was so hateful.

As expected, in addition to Mu Yunyu, the emperor was also a person with ulterior motives.

As soon as Mu Yunyu raised his eyes, he noticed that his father was looking at him, which made him subconsciously straighten his back, as if he was pretending to be confident, the more unlikely it was that he had done it.

From time to time, some ministers would discuss with each other.

"It seems that the security of this capital city really needs to be strengthened."

"Yes, yes. When I went to court in the morning, my wife asked me to bring two more servants."

…………

……

……

The constant discussions made the emperor frown.

It seems that someone must take up the position of Director of the Military Horse Department, and this matter is urgent.

However, the court was unable to find anyone who could fulfill this position.

There are very few military generals in the court. Even if there are, most of them hold important positions such as the Ministry of Justice and the Supreme Court, and cannot be transferred at will.

In addition, the appointment of the top candidate in the Spring Examination was a bit high, so even if the people behind could move on, it still needed to be fair.

Although the emperor was reluctant to hand over the important task of the capital's safety to a young man who had just entered the court as an official, he had no choice but to do so under the pressure of various circumstances.

The ministers were all waiting for the emperor to speak. The emperor looked at the people below and finally said after thinking it over again and again: "Since the Minister of Rites has made such a suggestion, I have to think about it."

"If Lu Xiaoyu is really capable, then let him take the position of Director of the Military Horse Department."

Upon hearing this, Lu Xiaoyu quickly knelt down to express his gratitude: "Thank you, my emperor. Long live the emperor."

"Hey - don't be in a hurry to thank me." Before Lu Xiaoyu could finish his words, he was interrupted by the emperor: "The Spring Examination only tests your talent and learning. It is a literary test. I don't know how good your martial arts are, but if you want to be the director of the Military Horse Department, you must be a martial arts expert."

As he spoke, the emperor turned his gaze to Bai Yu and said, "Lord Bai, you have been guarding the border for many years, and now you are the Junior Secretary of the Dali Temple. It is most appropriate for you to test Lu Xiaoyu's martial arts ability. I will leave this matter to you."

Bai Yu walked forward without changing his expression, received the order, and then stepped back.

The emperor looked at Lu Xiaoyu who was kneeling on the ground waiting, and then said: "Lu Xiaoyu, if you can pass Bai Shaoqing's test, the safety of this city will be left to you from now on."

Lu Xiaoyu kowtowed again to express his gratitude.

After the court session, Bai Yu naturally walked to Mu Yunchen's side, and the two walked one in front and one behind.

Mu Yunchen observed Lu Xiaoyu and Mu Yunyu from afar. The two were quite far apart, but Liu Shengyong walked with Lu Xiaoyu. It was normal to say that before the spring examination, Lu Xiaoyu had accepted Liu Shengyong's recruitment, so it was understandable that Liu Shengyong promised Lu Xiaoyu a good future in the court.

It just happened that the night before his father was about to appoint the candidates for the Spring Examination, Liu Shengyong was almost killed, but was saved by Mu Yunyu.

Mu Yunchen didn't believe such a coincidence.

At this moment, Lu Xiaoyu looked back and met Mu Yunchen's eyes. He immediately smiled awkwardly and avoided his sight, but his heart was actually full of hatred.

Prince Damu, it is because of you that I, Juqu, was convicted of treason, my wife and children were separated, I became a homeless dog, and I almost lost my name. One day, I will make you pay the price.

Thinking about this, Lu Xiaoyu asked Liu Shengyong in a low voice, "Mr. Minister, the Junior Official of the Dali Temple seems to be so close to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. Do you think he will deliberately trip me up?"

He still hadn't recovered from what Liu Shengyong said in the hall before, and couldn't help but murmur in his heart, but he still frowned and said to Lu Xiaoyu: "Your Highness, he won't do that. Don't worry. As long as your martial arts can pass the test, the chief of the Military Horse Department will be you."

At this time, Bai Yu also tentatively called out to Mu Yunchen: "Your Highness the Crown Prince..."

Although Bai Yu did not say anything, Mu Yunchen already understood. He did not even look back, but still looked ahead and said directly: "Just seek truth from facts."

The laws of Damu are here, and as the crown prince of Damu, it is even more impossible for him to bend the law for his own selfish reasons.

What's more, the grudge between him and Mu Yunyu has long gone beyond personal grudges.

And even if he really let Bai Yu act in favoritism, it doesn't mean that Bai Yu would be a person who acts in favoritism and bends the law. Looking at his upright appearance, he has a face that is impartial.

Thinking about this, Mu Yunchen glanced at Bai Yu intentionally or unintentionally. He didn't know if it was because he had been with Pei Xuan for too long, but Mu Yunchen always felt that Bai Yu was almost like Pei Xuan and couldn't smile anymore.

Bai Yu always felt that the look in the Crown Prince's eyes when he was looking at him just now was a little strange, so he quickly looked at his clothes, but the official uniform he was wearing was very decent.

In fact, Mu Yunchen didn't know that Bai Yu had the same trouble as him, that is, their wives were occupied by the little brats at home, resulting in the two grown men being neglected, so they were in a bad mood when going to court.

Mu Yunchen followed Mu Yunyu out of the palace. Seeing him get into the carriage with a calm look, Mu Yunchen snorted in his heart. Doesn't he know what kind of person Mu Yunyu is?

The more outrageously frank one is, the more he has something to hide.

Mu Yunchen got on the carriage while thinking about it. After sitting down, he asked Bi Shiqi outside the carriage: "Bi Twenty-Seven has been here for so long, has he never been assigned a mission?"
