Six hundred and thirty-two chapters aware
Even if Xu Yan had a strong ability to bear it, she couldn't help but feel dazed for several days when she encountered her father being killed by her own hands. Her trance made the ministers notice it. They discussed whether there was something wrong with Yun Lang. After all, Yun Lang was imprisoned and was not only involved in him, but many ministers in Xu Guo's court.
Before Xu Yan came to court, they had been muttering below for a long time. After all, since Yun Lang was locked up for so many days, Xu Yan has been depressed. They were afraid that Xu Yan would find him on his head, so they naturally did not dare to say anything. However, there was no result after so long that they were extremely worried. They decided that if Xu Yan didn't say anything today, they would ask for it themselves.
Just as they were ready for all this with the determination to die, Xu Yan came. Xu Yan's face was still as pale as before, and there was no powder on her face, which was a kind of morbid beauty. Xu Yan sat down, pinched her eyebrows with some headaches, and asked, "Do you have something to start?"
The ministers below were eager to try, but no one wanted to open this mouth first. Just as they were hesitating, Xu Yan frowned and looked at them and said first: "Why, I have nothing to say, so I will say it first."
They exchanged their eyes secretly and lowered their heads, thinking that His Majesty was finally about to start talking about this. Xu Yan coughed twice, and his face was covered with unnatural flush. Seeing this, Yingchun next to him hurriedly handed her a glass of water. She took a few sips before stopping to cough.
Xu Yan held his forehead and said, "It's been a while since the Spring Examination has ended. The arrangement for the Jinshi will be coming down in the next two days. If you have any opinions, please give it up now. Don't talk about gossip behind your back like before. Let the people laugh at it for nothing."
The ministers in the audience were silent. They were really not very concerned about this matter now. The reason why they used the arrangements for the Jinshi last year was because they were too idle and could not find anything to do, so they said something about it.
Xu Yan looked at the reaction from the audience and raised her eyebrows unexpectedly, then said, "Isn't there really? Then don't talk about that to Gu after the result comes out. Oh, by the way, there is one more thing."
When they heard Xu Yan's words, they immediately took a breath. It's coming. As expected, what they had shown before was just a trivial matter. Now they finally couldn't help but talk about Yun Lang's treatment.
Xu Yan herself was also a little nervous. She couldn't tell what these old-fashioned men would react after hearing this sentence. But... no matter what, she still has to say it no matter what.
Xu Yan coughed twice and said, "Didn't Yunlang go to find his grandson Yunqi during the six years he disappeared? Now he has found his grandson Yunqi, and I see him well."
The ministers in the audience were stunned when they heard Xu Yan's words. What was going on? It seemed that they were talking about Yun Lang, but it seemed that they were not. Could it be that she wanted to lead Yun Lang out in this way? They did not dare to interrupt Xu Yan at will, so they had to hold their breath and continue listening to Xu Yan's words.
Xu Yan was somewhat nervous about walking the back door for others. When she said this, she secretly observed the expressions of the people below. As she expected, when she said this, she suddenly threw a stone into the silent lake water and started to make a noise.
Xu Yan gritted his teeth and continued what he wanted to say: "You all know Yunqi, you are young talents, and you have been studying with Master Xuanji outside for so many years. You shouldn't have to doubt your knowledge. Moreover, the position of the Dali Temple Minister is still vacant, so I thought..."
The more she spoke, the lower her voice was, because she knew that these ministers would not care so much. They only knew that Yun Qi's current identity was Yun Lang's grandson, and he had not come back for many years. Who could know what his true level was? Besides, Xu Yan was going to give him such a conspicuous position as the Minister of Dali Temple. No one would want to put anyone in such a boy who they couldn't figure out.
Looking at their reaction, Xu Yan knew that today's matter would inevitably be another fierce battle. She sighed silently, and heard someone come out first and retort: "Your Majesty, the matter of selecting officials cannot be determined by your temporary thoughts. You cannot favor him just because you have...! Otherwise, what's the use of spring exams and what's the use of us?"
The more he said this, the more excited he became, and his saliva splashed everywhere, making Xu Yan feel a little guilty. Everyone in the audience and Xu Yan understood the words he had not said.
It was true. She knew that her idea was stupid, but she couldn't help but mention it. She always wanted to give him the best, but she always forgot the opinions of others. It was all because she was so ill that she went to the court to help her. But when she thought that this year's spring exam had just passed, if he wanted to come in, he would have to wait for another year, she still felt hot and put forward the idea regardless of the situation.
There was no need for anyone else to say anything. What the minister said was clear enough. Xu Yan sighed and was about to take back his proposal when he saw Lu Huai come out.
Lu Huai said, "Your Majesty is indeed a bit inappropriate. Even if it is out of his own selfish considerations, he should not give Yun Qi such a high position."
To be honest, Lu Huai's words were something Xu Yan could think of. But what she didn't expect was that he actually said something against him, and he directly pointed out their relationship.
However, after Lu Huai reminded her, she remembered the unwritten rule of Xu Guo: Those who are royal husbands should not interfere too much in political affairs, and at most they can only be a fourth-rank official.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but have a headache. Yunqi's talent is obvious to everyone. She always felt that he could reach a higher position than Yunlang, but if he became her husband, he would not have developed too much and could only be a quiet official forever. She didn't know if this was what he wanted, but when she thought of this, she couldn't help but feel confused.
The ministers in the audience were distracted by the matter she proposed, and for a moment they forgot their purpose of attending court today. They all started to make noise in the audience.
Seeing the market-like scene, Xu Yan quickly persuaded: "I just mentioned this and didn't want to do anything. If you don't agree, you will give up now and don't have to whisper below."
Seeing that they gradually calmed down because of her words, Xu Yan breathed a sigh of relief: "Is there anything else?"
Then they remembered that there was something about Yun Lang that he didn't mention it, so they quickly exchanged glances with each other and decided to postpone this matter for the time being, and wait for them to go back to discuss and draw up a memorandum before starting the report.
Xu Yan looked at them completely quiet, and for a moment he understood that they might have nothing to do today. Well, she was tortured a few days ago because of the wind and cold. Now she finally got the opportunity to rest, so she naturally had to rest for a while, so she announced that she would retreat.
