The thief of the fortress dominates the world

Chapter 561

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

Although Liu Rushi is young, he is very smart.She understood that if His Royal Highness the Regent really had any thoughts about her, she would have no ability to resist at all.

It was because I thought too much, His Highness, he was just out of kindness.

They sent a carriage to take Liu Rushi to pick up her luggage and maid Shuang'er.After making arrangements, Qi Xuan walked into Jiang Chuan's office.

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

"Yeah." 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 and asked softly.

Jiang Chuan looked up at her, got up and said, "Come with me." Then he walked to the small study in Xinuange.

Qi Xuan followed and walked over.

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

Qi Xuan took the letter curiously, and when she saw the words "Little sister is so dear" on the envelope, her heart skipped a beat and she raised her head to look at Jiang Chuan.

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

Only then did Qi Xuan understand, and when she opened the envelope and quickly read the contents, 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. He admitted that he had robbed and killed a group of merchants, 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 you were afraid that Miss Liu would not be able to accept it for a while, so you didn't tell her directly about it. But it's more cruel to hide it from her. I think she has been looking for so long, although she still has hope in her heart, But I should have thought about this possibility a long time ago.”

"You're right. In fact, I should have told her at the time. It's just that my heart softened when I said it. Maybe I thought too much. Like you said, she might be able to accept the result calmly. In troubled times, death There are too many people here, so what does Liu Yong count for? But, I always feel that this world is already enough to make people despair, and it might be better to live with a little hope."

There was some melancholy in Jiang Chuan's words, and his tone was also a little lonely.

Qi Xuan has never seen the man in front of her say such a thing in front of her. In her impression, this man is very calm and decisive in the face of everything, even if he executed more than 700 people who broke the law in Hulugu There has never been such an emotion.

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

People are inherently complicated, and many times they don't understand themselves.

Many people talk about things that haven't happened, thinking what will happen to them at that time, all kinds of rationality and wisdom.

But when things really happen, they often panic, not as wise and calm as they imagined.

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

Basically everyone has imagined how they will face when they are diagnosed with a terminal illness.

Many people will feel very calmly that they will not spend money and time on meaningless treatments, but will use the remaining time to visit famous mountains and rivers, do things that they have always wanted to do but have not done before, and try their best To make up for the regrets in life.

But when that day really comes, almost most people will cry for the doctor to save them, tell their family members not to give up on themselves, and even yell at them when their emotions are the most intense, without any so-called rationality and optimism at all. demeanor.

This is human nature, you never know how you will behave when faced with certain things.

Jiang Chuan originally planned to hand these letters directly to Liu Rushi, but for some reason he changed his mind when he spoke.

Maybe it's because of the weird protective psychology that men have when facing a weak girl, or maybe it's because of her bright smile.

More likely, it was because of the hopeful look in her eyes.

Jiang Chuan was not immersed in this emotion, but quickly recovered his usual calm, and said to Qi Xuan: "You should keep these letters first, and then tell her when you find a suitable opportunity. You can arrange her affairs in the mansion. that is."

Qi Xuan nodded and said softly, "Yes, I see."

For Jiang Chuan, what happened to Liu Rushi was just a small episode.The result was doomed, and all that was left was to find a suitable opportunity to tell her the truth of the matter.

Of course, letting Liu Rushi stay in the palace is selfish.

A fair lady, a gentleman is very good, living here will give you the opportunity to get to know each other better.

People have to get close to see clearly.

He still has a lot of things to do, so he temporarily put this matter behind him.

Jiang Chuan regretted entering the customs a little bit. Since he entered Beijing, he has been so busy every day, he might as well be happy with his own one-third of an acre of land after operating outside the customs. Why come here to be a tired model worker?

However, this kind of thought is just a thought, there are no ifs in life.Especially in things like fighting for hegemony, if you don't advance, you will retreat.

Even if you don't want to take the initiative to provoke others, it doesn't mean that others will not provoke you.

If you want to clean it up, you have to kill all the threatening guys within your line of sight before you can clean it up for a while.

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

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

Since it is Enke, it was decided temporarily, and many procedures have been simplified.

And because of the current situation, it is destined that there will not be too many scholars who can come to participate.

The Ministry of Etiquette is still in charge of organizing this exam, but Jiang Chuan's approval was obtained for the format and selection of the questions.

And there are not too many restrictions on the qualifications for the exam. Anyone who is a scholar in the Ming Dynasty can take part, and there is no limit to the level of academic achievement. It doesn't matter whether you are a scholar, a scholar, or a Jinshi.

Although this regulation caused great controversy in the court, and many officials who were born as Jinshi shouted that it was a shame to be an official in the same dynasty as a scholar, but Jiang Chuan remained unmoved and enforced this regulation.

He didn't do the four books and five classics in the exam. It depends on who is good at writing classics and who is good at writing stereotyped essays.Instead, it depends on the person's ability to perceive and judge the general trend of the world, the cognition and analysis ability to practice, and even the mastery of basic common sense in mathematics.

These things are the basic qualities and requirements for politics.

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