Murong Cang wanted to laugh in his heart. This black-bellied girl had already taught them a lesson, not content with that, she even didn’t forget to give them a slap in the face at the end!
“Your Majesty, your words are not a joke. Following the imperial decree, from today on, the Crown Prince and the Princess Protector of the Nation will take charge of the government!”
Murong Cang made the final decision at the right time!
The court officials looked at each other, and no one dared to speak out against it! Lord Gu also quietly returned to his seat!
Murong Cang waved his hand and another imperial decree was issued.
The content of the imperial edict was that the imperial examination would be moved forward to this year. No matter whether it was a civil examination or a military examination, only the poor children who had been selected in the last two joint examinations were eligible to participate. The chief examiner of the civil examination would be Jiang Taifu, and the deputy examiner would be Lu Zihao, the university scholar. The chief examiner of the military examination would be Xian Wang, and the deputy examiner would be Duke Rong. The Ministry of Personnel and the Ministry of War would assist!
The ministers had been opposing the early start of the imperial examinations for the past ten days, and were even more opposed to targeting only the children of poor families, because then wouldn’t their sons and grandsons who were just old enough have to wait another three years? But now that the emperor had issued an imperial decree, it seemed that the imperial examinations were inevitable.
Rui Wang’s faction had suffered repeated defeats, something that had never happened in recent years. They all looked at Rui Wang secretly. But Rui Wang remained silent and did not make any comments! So, those who followed him had no choice but to keep silent.
Yun Qianyu and Yujian had been standing quietly on Murong Cang’s side, but their indifferent eyes took in all the courtiers’ expressions!
At this time, the Minister of War, Gu Zhenyu, stood up again and said, “Your Majesty, the Tiger Guard Camp outside the city has been without a leader for ten days. The Tiger Guard Camp is responsible for the safety of the imperial city. The imperial city will be uneasy if it is without a leader for one day!”
Murong Cang glanced at Gu Zhenyu and said, “I have already handed the tiger talisman over to Yujian to deal with.”
“Your Majesty, the Crown Prince is still a child! How can such an important matter be handled?”
This time, not only did Gu Zhenyu oppose it, but many ministers also spoke out against it.
Murong Yujian glanced at Yun Qianyu, and Yun Qianyu nodded to him.
Murong Yujian stepped forward and said sternly, “How dare you!”
The ministers were suddenly silenced, staring at Murong Yujian, who was furious, wondering why.
Murong Yujian stretched out his hand and pointed at everyone, even Rui Wang.
“Whose world is this? Who is the king? Who is the minister?” Although the voice was still a little childish, the aura in his body was still very strong.
The ministers were startled. Why did the Crown Prince pick such a fatal question right away?
“This world belongs to Grandpa Huang, and it will also be my world in the future. Who gave you the courage to resist Grandpa Huang’s decision? Grandpa Huang pays you such a high salary every year. What have you done for Grandpa Huang?”
Yujian’s body, which was not yet tall, stood straight, and the former immaturity in his eyes was swept away, replaced by a look of disappointment.
“Have you used all your energy to oppose Grandpa Huang? Then when you use the salary Grandpa Huang gave you, won’t you feel guilty? Won’t you feel ashamed?”
Seeing that some ministers had already lowered their heads, Yujian became even more confident.
“You don’t even understand the way of ruler and subject. Do you want to go back and ask the teacher who taught you for advice?”
As soon as this sentence was finished, the ministers could no longer bear it. The Crown Prince was too disrespectful. Wasn’t this a mockery of them having to go back to school and be retrained?
“Crown Prince, we are not…”
Yujian didn’t even give them a chance to speak. “Shut up. Grandfather Emperor is in poor health. I don’t want to see him get unnecessarily angry because of your stupidity. Also, this army belongs to my royal family. Do I need your consent to manage my family’s affairs? Do you have the qualifications?”
After saying that, Yujian turned to Murong Cang and said, “Grandpa Emperor, I have already given the tiger talisman to the prince of Duke Rong. He should have almost reorganized the Tiger Guard Camp!”
Everyone gasped when they heard this. The Crown Prince actually let the Duke Rong Mansion, which never touched military power, take over the Tiger Guard Camp! Especially the people of Rui Wang’s faction couldn’t help but worry. They all looked at the taciturn Duke Rong. Seeing that Duke Rong was still standing calmly like a pine tree, the eyes of the ministers did not affect him at all! However seeing that Rui Wang was also calm, they also calmed down.
Murong Cang looked at Yujian with satisfaction. It had only been ten days, but Yujian had changed so much. Of course, he knew that it was Yun Qianyu’s credit. He also understood that what Yujian did today was also taught by Yun Qianyu in advance, and she wanted him to take this opportunity to establish his authority in front of the ministers. But even so, it was rare for Yujian to control his emotions so well! Moreover, Yujian’s authority was equivalent to Yun Qianyu’s authority! A ten-year-old child could be taught like this by her, it was already shocking!
“Yujian handled it very well. It seems that Grandpa Huang can relax now.”
Yujian smiled at Murong Cang, “Don’t worry, Grandpa Huang, Yujian is no longer a child and knows what he should do.”
“Good, good, good.”
Murong Cang said “good” three times in a row, which showed how pleased he was.
He looked at Yun Qianyu and nodded to her, “Qianyu girl is really capable. You have trained this boy well!”
“Grandpa, this is what Qianyu should do. What’s more, Yujian is extremely smart and can understand things at a glance!” Yun Qianyu said calmly.
All the ministers were shocked. It turned out that the Crown Prince had already started being taught by this Princess Protector of the country! They had no choice but to accept this series of changes!
However, Rui Wang’s eyes darkened, his hands clenched into fists, and he glanced at Yun Qianyu with unfriendly eyes, while the corners of his mouth raised an arc with unknown meaning!
