Chapter 79
In view of the anger that happened today, Xu Miaoyun politely expressed that she would invite Ning Yuezhao and others to dinner.

Ning Yuezhao declined on the grounds that something happened at home, Xu Miaoyun went down the steps and left with Wu Yuyuan and Liu Ying.

On the carriage back to the palace, Qingchi almost burst out laughing——

"Oh, Your Majesty, you didn't see Xu Miaoyun's expression at that time, hahahaha!"

"Okay!" Ning Yuezhao pushed her, "Have you laughed enough? Is it that funny?"

Qingchi turned to Jiang Nian, and jokingly said: "Your Highness, I think that Xu Miaoyun misses you so much! I caught a glimpse of her looking at you just now, and I wish I could swallow you up!"

Jiang Nian still looked as usual, "There are too many women in the imperial capital Xiao Xianggu, but that one is the only one I like." After finishing speaking, he gave Ning Yuezhao a meaningful look.

Ning Yuezhao deliberately changed the subject, saying: "Qingchi, I'm more curious, who will you propose to marry when you are in high school?"

Qingchi seemed to be choked, turned his face away and said: "That's what I said to displease that surnamed Wu. I didn't ask anyone to marry. Besides, I won't be able to graduate from high school."

Ning Yuezhao rubbed her chin, thinking, "I'll have to take a closer look at who is suitable for you."

"Your Majesty!" Qingchi raised his voice and looked at her complainingly.

"Haha..." Ning Yuezhao laughed out loud.

On the carriage going back, there were laughter and laughter all the way to the ancient and quiet palace.

The next day, Jiang Nian summoned four cabinet scholars to gather in the Palace of Political Affairs.

The question of who should hold the position of minister of the Ministry of punishment was raised.

Because this time is a big event, although Jiang Nian doesn't want Ning Yuezhao to work too hard on state affairs, he still has to let her come here.

The Bachelor of Wenhuadian is about to retire, and he knows very well that this Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment is the one who will take his place.

As for the University of Martial Arts Hall, although he has not yet reached the age to become an official, it is not a few years away.Besides, for so many years, Jiang Qixi and Xu Zhi have taken over the decision-making of the cabinet. He, the fourth-ranked bachelor in the cabinet, basically follows the path of harmony.

Of course, Xu Zhi hoped that his protégé would become Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, and then he would enter the cabinet and take over the position of Bachelor of Wenhua Palace, so that he could completely trample Jiang Qixi under his feet.

Therefore, he bowed and said: "I think that since the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment took the position of Minister of Justice, he has been conscientious and diligent, and all the cases he has judged are correct. This person is worthy of the post of Minister of the Ministry of Criminal Justice!"

Jiang Qixi said: "Xu Cifu's words are too much. The Criminal Ministry's judgment should be correct and correct. How can it be regarded as such absurd praise."

Xu Zhi turned to Jiang Qixi, "I don't know who the Chief Assistant thinks is suitable?"

Without batting an eyelid, Jiang Qixi casually reported the name of his protege in the Ministry of Punishment.

Because the two have been fighting for many years, no matter what, they have to find fault with each other.

All of a sudden, there was another dispute in the political hall.

Jiang Nian looked at Ning Yuezhao worriedly, worried that she would be quarreled.

Ning Yuezhao nodded to him, cleared her throat, "Okay, stop arguing."

Jiang Qixi and Xu Zhi both closed their mouths when they heard the words.

At this moment, a scholar from the Wenhua Palace stood up, "Your Majesty, I have someone to choose."

"Oh?" Ning Yuezhao looked at him with interest, "Who is it?"

The scholar of the Wenhua Palace bowed and said: "I recommend Yan Zhenglang, a scholar of the Imperial Academy."

As soon as he said this, Jiang Nian couldn't help being a little curious.This old cabinet bachelor has been quiet for many years and never took the initiative to participate in the debate between Jiang Qixi and Xu Zhi. Is it because he wants to be tough because he is about to retire?

Ning Yuezhao sat up straight and said seriously, "Why?"

"Yan Taifu is the teacher selected by the late emperor for His Majesty, and his talent is beyond doubt. Moreover, Yan Taifu also served as the left minister of the Ministry of Punishment, and has qualifications for judging criminal cases. In addition, Yan Taifu has been here for so many years. Compiling the history books of the previous dynasty in the Hanlin Academy, and reviewing the rise and fall of the previous dynasty, this experience must be more beneficial to the Ministry of Criminal Affairs in the future."

Ning Yuezhao remained calm, shaking her head repeatedly in her heart, it's really embarrassing for this old man to hold back so many words of praise.

"I think it's impossible!" Xu Zhi was the first to object, and he said loudly, "Teacher Yan is the emperor's teacher, and his talent is undoubtedly unquestionable, but it was more than ten years ago that Grand Master Yan was appointed to the Ministry of Criminal Justice. Well, everyone knows the truth of success and failure by taking history as a mirror, so I'm afraid there will be little help in judging cases by criminal names, right?"

Because of Yan Zhenglang's status as the emperor's teacher, Xu Zhi didn't dare to refute his words too hard.

Ning Yuezhao smiled faintly, "Teacher Yan can teach an emperor like me, so can't he be qualified for a mere minister of the Ministry of Punishment?"

The partiality of what she said is obvious, since Yan Zhenglang can teach an emperor, what is the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment?If he can't even be the secretary of the Ministry of punishment, doesn't that mean that she is incompetent as an emperor?
Xu Zhi hurriedly lowered his head and said, "I know I was wrong."

Forget it, at best, it's just one more mess. Anyway, he, Xu Zhidu, has been fighting Jiang Qixi for so many years, and he is not afraid to continue fighting.

Ning Yuezhao turned to Jiang Qixi, "Does Mr. Jiang Ge have any objections?"

Jiang Qixi made a bow and said, "I have no objection."

The University of Martial Arts Hall also said: "I also think that Yan Taifu is worthy of this position."

Ning Yuezhao nodded in satisfaction, "That's it, you guys go down and draw up an order."

"Yes, I will leave!"

After everyone left, Jiang Nian got up and walked to Ning Yuezhao, held her hand and said, "Are you tired?"

Ning Yuezhao shook her head, "I appointed Qingchi's father as Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, will you blame me?"

Jiang Nian stretched out his hand to caress her cheek, and said with a smile, "What are you complaining about? I originally wanted Taifu Yan, but you just said it for me."

Ning Yuezhao asked curiously, "Oh? Why do you still pay attention to him?"

Jiang Nian said slightly apologetically: "First, I don't think he's in the pool. Second, my father and Xu Zhi have been dealing with Xu Zhi for so many years, and he also intends to withdraw. No matter how you look at it, Yan Zhenglang is the most suitable. I didn't talk to you before. Said, I don't want you to worry too much about these things."

Ning Yuezhao smiled and nodded silently.The first thing Jiang Nian moved her was this tacit understanding without words.

Because of the strong support of the empress, although Yan Zhenglang was appointed as Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, although there was some resistance, he finally suppressed those opposing voices.

Time flies, on this day in the Yizheng Palace, the list of candidates for this year's Women's Scholars Section has been submitted to the case in front of Ning Yuezhao.

Ning Yuezhao picked up the list and read it quickly, then passed it to Jiang Nian.

"Jieyuan, the emperor's capital of this autumn, are you sure this is him?" Jiang Nian raised the list in his hand.

The chief examiner nodded and said: "This is decided by the minister and several accompanying examiners after several discussions, and it is definitely this person."

Qiuwei's examination room is in the imperial capital and the state where the chief envoy is located, so there can be several Xie Yuan, but Yan Qingchi is impressively written on the list of Xie Yuan in the imperial capital examination room.

Because Xu Miaoyun had a reference this time, Xu Zhi avoided it. In order to avoid suspicion, Jiang Qixi did not touch the position of the chief examiner, and even the two students also avoided it.Qiuwei used the Milu Tengfeng system to review the papers, so this candidate for Jieyuan is enough to convince the public.

"Then, let's announce the list as soon as possible, don't make the students wait too long." Ning Yuezhao said with a smile, she was happy for Qingchi from the bottom of her heart.

Jiang Nian was nervous about Ning Yuezhao's body, almost reluctant to let her bother to read the memorial, but she had been thinking about this matter all along, so she had to let her do it.

After the main examiner withdrew, Ning Yuezhao looked back and saw the worry in Jiang Nian's eyes.

"I'm not paper." Ning Yuezhao looked at him with helpless eyes.

Jiang Nian pursed his lips slightly. It has been a month, and Fu Liao still hasn't made any progress.If she had just an ordinary headache, he wouldn't be so nervous, but it's Gu poison, except for the Gu poison that Miao people can detox!

Ning Yuezhao ignored his worries. She hadn't had any headaches in the past month. Although her face was still pale, she figured it out.Birth and death are fate, and everything cannot be attached to.

"Jiang Nian, it will take a few days for the Ministry of Rites to publish the list. I decided not to tell Qingchi and make her nervous for another two days. What do you think?"

Jiang Nian was amused by her self-satisfied expression, and he said: "It's late, I just saw the little eunuch who was serving tea trot away, and he must have gone to Shenglong Palace to say goodbye and ask for a reward."

Ning Yue Zhaobo said angrily: "These cunning slaves!"

She could almost foresee how Qingchi in Ascending Dragon Hall would reward people indiscriminately after hearing the good news.Just thinking about it like this, I can hear her wanton laughter in my ears...

Jiang Nian glanced helplessly at her with a gloomy expression, picked up a booklet and read it. After reading it, his expression changed slightly.

Although Ning Yuezhao was stopped by Jiang Nian to review the papers without bothering, he often stayed in the Yizheng Hall recently.Seeing Jiang Nian's complexion changed, she couldn't help taking the folder in his hand.

After reading it, Ning Yuezhao also felt a little unnatural, "I always thought that this Tai Tuo was not easy, after all, I underestimated him, and was eager to gain power so soon?"

Jiang Nian took back the notebook from her hand, "It's not necessarily because of impatience. Those old people must not be convinced when he parachuted into the Ministry of Criminal Justice. He really needs to do something immediately to convince the public."

Ning Yuezhao looked at the booklet that had already arrived in Jiang Nian's hand, "You have to have that ability, otherwise don't blame others for kicking the iron board."

Jiang Nian looked at her sideways, "Are you blaming him for overturning the old case set by the empress?"

Ning Yuezhao shook her head, her tone was affirmative, "Although the case was decided by the empress, but now that I think about it, I also feel that it seemed a bit hasty at that time. If the Taifu can really find solid evidence, I don't mind overturning the case for the Lu family."

Jiang Nian glanced across her peaceful but resolute face, and sincerely felt that Ning Yuezhao might be a bit headstrong as an emperor, but her generosity and kindness were invaluable.

As for the case of the Lu family, he has almost completed the investigation through the strength of the Jiang family in the past month.

He just sent someone to hint to Yan Zhenglang, and this guy got the job done. He's really daring.

In order to reward Yan Zhenglang's courage, Jiang Nian decided to give him this ready-made bargain, presenting all the clues, and leading him to discover it step by step.

Of course, the news that Lu Ji is still alive has to be kept secret for the time being. He doesn't have any evidence in favor of the Lu family, so appearing rashly is just to die.

As for today's note, he also deliberately used it to test Ning Yuezhao's reaction, and her reaction satisfied him.

She began to look more and more like an emperor, the only regret was that the poison was difficult to cure.

Obviously she saved An Chen out of kindness at the beginning, but why didn't her kindness get the reward it deserved, instead it made her such a miserable life?
No matter what, he will not let the tragedy of his previous life repeat itself this time.

Jiang Nian secretly made up his mind.

The next day at the court meeting, Yan Zhenglang, the new secretary of the Ministry of Punishments, gave a performance in court, demanding that the former Minister of the Ministry of War Lu Jiansheng's treason case be re-investigated.

The empress sitting on the throne pondered for a while, and when she raised her eyes again, her voice was full of majesty, "Quite."

At the same time, Xu Miaoyun stared at the name at the top of the list under the Imperial Capital Tribute Court, almost biting his silver teeth——

"Yan Qingchi! How could Xie Yuan be her!"
