“I need some information about some people.”

Before coming here, Yun Qianyu had done her homework on the situation in the capital, but now she found out that she didn’t know anything about her opponent, which was a taboo in military strategy.

Moreover, Rui Wang gave up the military power of the Tiger Guard Battalion so easily. You know, what he lost today was not only the Tiger Guard Battalion, but also Liu Jingsheng’s military power. This made Yun Qianyu feel uneasy. Because Rui Wang had no other military power on the surface, why was he still so confident? There was only one possibility, but it was the one Yun Qianyu least wanted to happen.

“I have it all.” Gong Sangmo said naturally.

San Qiu behind him twitched uncomfortably. What do you mean you have it all? It was obviously the prince who ordered people to move it into the study overnight last night. He didn’t understand it at first, but now he knew. It seemed that the prince had already planned it out to please the Princess Protector of the country!

Yun Qianyu nodded, glanced at the tiger talisman on the table, and asked, “Grandpa, what do you think of Prince Hua?”

Murong Cang looked at Yun Qianyu in surprise, “Qianyu thought of Manxi?”

“How could the prince of Duke Rong be as unruly as he seems?”

Yun Qianyu said indifferently, as if she had known Hua Manxi for a long time.

To be specific, Hua Manxi’s mother was the only daughter of Emperor Murong Cang. In other words, his father, Duke Rong, was the only son-in-law of the emperor. Yujian’s mother, the late Crown Princess, was Hua Manxi’s aunt. Although she was no longer alive, the relationship was there! Hua Manxi and Murong Yujian were real cousins. If Hua Manxi still couldn’t be believed in despite these relationships, then Murong Cang had failed too much in his life!

Murong Cang laughed, “You naughty girl.”

He pushed the tiger talisman to Yun Qianyu, “You should give it to him yourself! If you can get him to take it!”

Yun Qianyu opened her big almond eyes, thinking of the ancestral precepts of the Duke Rong Mansion that had never touched military power for a hundred years, and silently put away the tiger talisman and handed it to Yujian.

“Yujian, take it!”

Yujian was already ten years old, and with Murong Cang’s special training, of course he knew what the tiger talisman represented! He raised his eyes to look at Murong Cang.

Murong Cang’s old eyes flashed a gleam of light, this girl was really naughty! She looked so weak and beautiful that people wanted to hold her in the palm of their hands and pamper her. Even the cold boy from the Gong family did not escape her palm, but there was a cunning little fox living inside.

Murong Cang said to Yujian: “From now on, Sister Qianyu is Yujian’s sister, so you have to obey her unconditionally, understand?”

Yujian nodded, stretched out his hand to take the tiger talisman and put it into his sleeve.

Murong Cang had aged a lot in the past few days, and it was also a headache to think about the vacant position. There were too few people who could be used!

Yun Qianyu understood Murong Cang’s dilemma. She had thought of this step when she took action yesterday. It was easy to cut off Rui Wang’s arm, but most of the people in the court were his people, and the reappointed people may not be their people as well.

“Grandpa, you can start preparing for the autumn examination.”

Murong Cang’s wrinkles squeezed together when he heard it.

“Qianyu, the imperial examination is held every three years, and it should be next year according to the year.”

“Isn’t this an accident! Three pillars of the court are missing at once, but there are no good talents to replace them. It is also a last resort to take the imperial examination in advance, isn’t it?”

Yun Qianyu’s cherry red lips opened and closed as she spoke, as if it was a helpless thing for the emperor to organize the imperial examination in advance.

Murong Cang’s eyes lit up, and then he said worriedly: “Even if the imperial examination is held in advance, it is not certain that we can use the selected talents with confidence.”
