643 Currently Unmarried
At the Imperial Palace in the capital, after the court session, the eunuch stopped Jiang Zhennan and said to him very respectfully, ” general, the Emperor has invited you!”
Jiang Zhennan replied, ” yes, thank you, eunuch Zhang!”
Eunuch Zhang smiled and said, ” general-in-chief, you’re too polite! Then I’ll take our leave first.”
In the Emperor’s study, Emperor Yuwen Xuanji was holding a scroll. His brows were tightly furrowed, and the more he looked at it, the more his brows furrowed. However, he quickly said with great joy, ” good, good, this is really great! Haha, why didn’t I think of this before?”
Eunuch Liu, who was standing at the side, saw the Emperor’s happy expression and imdiately asked curiously, ” Your Majesty, are you very happy? ”
The Emperor nodded and said, ” yes, I’m happy. I’m really happy.”
Then, he put down the scroll and looked out of the study. “is Minister Jiang not here yet? ”
Eunuch Liu said, ” Your Majesty, the general is here. He is waiting outside the door!”
When the Emperor heard this, he imdiately said happily, ” yes, quickly invite Minister Jiang!”
“Yes, Your Majesty!” Eunuch Liu replied respectfully.
After a while, Jiang Zhennan walked in.
“Greetings to the Emperor, long live the Emperor!”
“Please get up, Minister Jiang!” The Emperor was overjoyed when he saw Jiang Zhennan.
After Jiang Zhennan stood up, the Emperor could not wait to ask, ” Minister Jiang, you said in the scroll that the country could unify the language and then compile a book so that everyone can recognize their own words. Why did you have such an idea? ”
Jiang Zhennan bowed and said, ” Your Majesty, I went out to travel for the past six months. When I passed by a small mountain village, I was inspired and hinted at by a lady there. That’s how I ca up with this idea.”
Once he returned to the capital and received the Imperial edict, he reported to the Emperor that he had not been in the capital for the past six months. Instead, he had been traveling and had settled down in a village.
Of course, he concealed the fact that he was assassinated and poisoned.
When the Emperor heard Jiang Zhennan’s words, his eyes imdiately lit up. He asked curiously, ” Minister Jiang, did you just say that it was a girl? How old is that young lady? Is she engaged?”
Jiang Zhennan imdiately felt a little embarrassed, but because he was wearing a silver mask, the old Emperor did not see that his face was red.
He replied, ” Your Majesty, it’s a 12-year-old girl who is currently unmarried.”
When the Emperor heard that it was a twelve-year-old child, his eyes were a little disappointed, but he imdiately asked excitedly, ” Oh, it’s a twelve-year-old girl. Isn’t she afraid of you? ”
It must be known that in the capital, no matter if it was the old, the young, the won, or the children, they all kept a respectful distance from Jiang Zhennan, and they were all afraid.
Suddenly hearing that Jiang Zhennan was communicating with a twelve-year-old child, of course, his curiosity was ignited.
Jiang Zhennan smiled and replied, ” Your Majesty, that child is not afraid of .” At this point, he paused for a mont and continued, ” that child is an amazing person!”
The Emperor was surprised to hear Jiang Zhennan praise soone.
Especially when he praised a child as a “wonderful person.” This was an incredible complint.
The Emperor smiled and said, ” if they ca up with the idea of a unified language and that everyone needs the opportunity to study and read, such a child is indeed an amazing person!”
When Jiang Zhennan heard the Emperor praise Lin yuelan, he continued, ” Your Majesty, that child knows a lot of things. It’s just that I can’t tell Your Majesty everything in such a short ti. I can only tell Your Majesty slowly in the future!”
The Emperor was even more curious. “Oh, that child actually knows a lot of things? ”
Jiang Zhennan nodded and said, ” yes, Your Majesty!”
The Emperor thought for a mont and said, ” then let’s talk about it in the future. At this point, the Emperor thought of sothing else and asked very seriously, ” Minister Jiang, were you the one behind the expose of the corruption and human trafficking of zhou shan mountain prefect Ji Zhongcai? ”
Jiang Zhennan knew that he would not be able to hide it from the Emperor. He nodded and said, ” yes, Your Majesty.”
“Why?” The Emperor was puzzled.
He knew that Jiang Zhennan had never been involved in these things.
“Your Majesty, when I passed by Zhou Shan city, I heard the people there complaining about Ji Zhongcai,” Jiang Zhennan said.
At the Ji mansion in Zhou Shan, the Vice Minister of the capital’s Ministry of Justice led a group of soldiers and horses to surround the Ji residence.
The Vice Minister of the Ministry of Justice said sternly, ” go in and search. No one from the Ji family is allowed to leave!”
