After everyone left, Yan Renzheng did not get up in a hurry, but just called the people waiting outside in.

"Go to Wangjiang Tower and bring the man back. Put him in jail. Tell those on duty tonight to be alert and not let anyone die in jail."

After Yan Renzheng finished giving the instructions, he leaned back in his chair and pondered silently.

"Sir, would you like to ask a doctor to take a look?"

"No need, someone will come to treat him, just go and bring him back."

"Yes, my subordinate will do it immediately."

After everyone left, Yan Renzheng took out a clean teacup and placed it on the table. He waited for a while before starting to pour tea.

The aroma of tea wafted through the air, becoming very noticeable in the dimly lit room. Soon, there was movement outside, and the door was opened.

"My lord please."

Yan Renzheng turned his head and saw that it was Fan Jiang, the Dali Temple Minister who had returned.

"Today's incident happened suddenly, so we only had tea to greet each other."

After Fan Jiang sat down, Yan Renzheng pushed the freshly poured tea in front of him.

"A cup of good tea from you can relieve all my worries. It's enough, it's enough."

Fan Jiang lowered his head and sipped his tea. There were many people around just now, so he didn't say a word. He just waited until everyone left before coming back.

"Brother Yan, since Your Majesty ascended the throne, you first enacted laws to protect women, then opened a special examination for women, and today, for Princess Yongle, you almost killed the Second Young Master Liang of the Qiang Palace.

Your Majesty currently has only one child, Prince Bao. If this continues for a long time, Daxia will not always have female emperors succeeding to the throne. A hundred years from now, I am afraid that the status of men will be even lower than that of women today."

Fan Jiang sat at the table with a frown on his face, his tone and expression filled with resentment.

"It's fine if you say this to me today, but if you leave, I'll just pretend you never said anything. Who of us will survive a hundred years from now?"

Yan Renzheng put his hand on Fan Jiang's hand, leaned over, and carefully instructed:

"Let me speak to you from the bottom of my heart. Your Majesty has made outstanding achievements in government at such a young age. No one else can be as good as Your Majesty. If it weren't for Your Majesty, we don't know when we could have conquered the northern border. Now that the world is at peace, you and I are both useful ministers to Your Majesty. Don't be foolish at this time. There are so many people eyeing your position. If you don't want to take it, there are plenty of people who will.

Besides, your daughters are all well-read. If you send them out to take the imperial examinations and pursue a career in government, your family may not be any worse off in a hundred years."

Yan Renzheng finally understood His Majesty's attitude today and the importance he attached to the women who had passed the imperial examination last spring. His Majesty was a man who could kill his father with his own hands. Who could be more cruel than His Majesty? Instead of complaining about these things, he might as well take advantage of His Majesty's new special examination for women and let all his daughters try.

If they can make it to the list, both their sons and daughters will have Yan Renzheng's blood. While he is still capable, the whole family will support and help him. Your Majesty has always been clear about rewards and punishments. If his children can seize this opportunity, they may not be worse than him.

The Yan family may be able to move to a higher level.

Fan Jiang had his hands held down by Yan Renzheng, and the depression and resentment he had just felt suddenly cleared up after Yan Renzheng's comfort. After thinking it through, he couldn't help but feel scared.

"Thank you for reminding me today. If it were someone else, I don't know if I would have a tomorrow."

Your Majesty has just ascended the throne and there has been a major reshuffle in the court, leaving many positions vacant and opportunities abound.

"Brother Yan is right. I am narrow-minded. Both of your daughters are good. When His Majesty opened the girls' school, the girls from our two families were classmates, just like you and I were in the past."

After thinking it through, Fan Jiang swept away his previous gloom. Looking at the dry snacks on the table, he felt a little hungry. He put his backhand back and pressed Yan Renzheng's hand:

"I came to your place this afternoon, and they don't provide meals. You don't even provide meals for me?"

Yan Renzheng and Fan Jiang have known each other since childhood. He has become more and more unreasonable as he grows older.

"I really can't do it today. Believe it or not, the moment the Second Young Master Liang of the Qiang Palace was imprisoned, the Qiang Prince arrived. I will stay at the Ministry of Justice tonight and wait. The Qiang Palace has been declining day by day. The reason it can still maintain its reputation is all thanks to the bravery of the Qiang Prince on the battlefield when he was young. But since he was injured on the battlefield, none of the children of the Qiang Palace's generation can support the Qiang Palace."

The second son of the Liang family is considered to be the tallest among the short ones. He passed the imperial examination last year and became an official. Although his score was not very high, most of the military generals in the court are employed by the Xiang family nowadays. It is not easy for the Qiang Prince's Mansion to have a child who passed the imperial examination and became an official.

Prince Qiang must have already brought doctors and others to the gate of his Ministry of Justice.

Fan Jiang remembered that when he left, there were several carriages parked outside the gate of the Ministry of Justice. If it hadn't been dark and he hadn't been preoccupied with things, he wouldn't have paid much attention. Now that he thinks about it, they might really be carriages from the Qiang Prince's Mansion.

"Then you'll have a busy night. I wonder how hard that kick was. Your Majesty is a god on the battlefield. If he hadn't held back, Young Master Liang would have already reported to the underworld."

Fan Jiang complained weakly, and there was sympathy in his eyes when he looked at Yan Renzheng.

"Since you're not free, I'll go back. My wife must have prepared dinner and is waiting for me. Once this matter is settled, I'll treat you to dinner and drinks."

Fan Jiang stood up and patted Yan Renzheng on the shoulder:

"If you have any problem, feel free to send someone to my house to find me. As long as it's your business, no matter how big it is, I will do it without hesitation."

Facing Fan Jiang's serious gaze, Yan Renzheng slapped him on the shoulder in anger:

"Can't you just hope for me to be well? Let's go now. If you don't leave now, you'll run into Prince Qiang soon."

Yan Ren was calculating the time. Wangjiang Tower was on the most prosperous street in the capital, and it would take some time to get to the Ministry of Justice. In addition, the second son of the Liang family was seriously injured, so the carriage could not move fast at all.

"Then why don't I go out through the back door to avoid running into Prince Qiang."

"Just go through the front door, you won't get hit."

Yan Renzheng said this as he pushed Fan Jiang out.

Fan Jiang was thinking, and suddenly he seemed to have thought of something. He stopped walking, turned around and said to Yan Renzheng with great confidence:

"You said Liang Er had just passed the imperial examination and entered the government, yet he dared to harass Princess Yongle in the street. Could it be that Prince Qiang was instructing him?"

After Fan Jiang finished speaking, he was convinced that this must be the case. Everyone in the capital knew that His Majesty loved Princess Yongle. The Duke Dingguo's Mansion had the merit of following the emperor, and there was no more title to be given. Almost all the rewards went to Princess Yongle.

In Daxia, Princess Yongle is not inferior to the princess in any way.

"Just figured it out? Liang Er has only been in high school for a year. Prince Qiang only has an empty position now, so he can't give him much help in the court. He can only find this method. If this can be accomplished, even if the Prince Qiang's Mansion can no longer produce a child who can support the family, with the Xiang family and the title of Princess Yongle, they can enjoy happiness for generations."

Therefore, even if the method is radical and there is a risk of losing his job, Liang Er will continue to try under the instruction of Prince Qiang until he fails completely.

Now it seems that after this incident, those who have ideas in the capital will have to give up their thoughts.
