Yuchi Lan enjoyed a brief moment of glory in the capital for a day before being locked up in the post station. The envoys who had been laughing at him the day before, by the time they realized what was happening, the carrier eagles had already flown over most of Daxia's territory.

"Your Majesty, the Shanshan delegation has come to bid farewell."

This was the first person to come to Liang Chongyue to resign in recent days. Everyone else was waiting and watching, wanting to see if there would be any reversal in the Xiaowan incident.

"Let him in."

After the Shanshan delegation came in, they simply and clearly expressed their loyalty to Daxia and then began to resign.

Liang Chongyue had the system in her hands, and she knew better than anyone which countries' delegations had released the carrier eagles that night. The prince of Shanshan was a wise man who was good at making plans and making decisions.

"I approve. Three days from now, I will send an official from the Ministry of Works specializing in agricultural policy to accompany you back to Shanshan."

She gave these people another three days, hoping that they could be caught and not follow Xiaowan's fate one by one.

"Thank you, Your Majesty. Shanshan will swear allegiance to Daxia until death."

Liang Chongyue waved her hand to signal him to leave. The annual leave was over. She handed half of the memorials to Minglang for review and took her to slowly get started. It would be March in two days, and the capital was bustling these days.

Minglang sat below the Queen Mother and reviewed memorials. Now the Queen Mother always brought her by her side when governing the country and would ask for her opinion from time to time.

She had benefited a lot these days. She was so busy digesting the knowledge she had learned from her mother that she almost forgot about Yuchi Lan.

After waiting for the Shanshan envoy to leave, Minglang handed the reviewed memorials to the Queen Mother's desk, and Liang Chongyue opened them one by one to check.

"Queen Mother, the Spring Examination will begin in March. Wouldn't it be unsafe for these envoys to stay in the capital?"

Minglang wanted to resolve this matter as soon as possible. The Spring Examination was a big event, and if these envoys stayed, it would cost manpower to guard them.

"It's okay. If something really goes wrong during the Spring Examination, they'll be a thousand times more nervous than you."

Liang Chongyue didn't even raise his head. After checking all the memorials that Minglang had just reviewed, he put down his pen with satisfaction.

"You've done well, but you could be more resolute and decisive in your judgments on some matters. These decrees are not for officials in the capital. After you review them, if they are not resolute enough, the people below will second-guess your thoughts. By the time your decrees become their guesses and are sent to the prefectures and counties, they will no longer be what you wanted to see."

In order to please their superiors, officials would try to guess their preferences and thoughts. When Minglang first came to court to govern, people below her were trying to guess her style of doing things in order to please her, but errors were inevitable.

Liang Chongyue taught her little by little. Her scumbag father had never taught her these things before, and she figured them out little by little.

She made mistakes, including being framed by others and having her subordinates make misjudgments. The root cause was that she was not decisive enough.

This allowed those people to take advantage of the loopholes in her policies.

When the Queen Mother was teaching, Minglang stood aside and learned obediently.

"I understand. Thank you, Queen Mother, for your guidance."

Liang Chongyue would teach Minglang a small point every few days, and would move on after she had fully mastered it.

"I intend to hand this year's Spring Examination over to you. I've already made the general arrangements. As for the remaining minor matters, Li Wen and Zhou Xuan are here, so you can rest assured."

All the major events of the Spring Examination were prepared the year before. Liang Chongyue wanted to add more political achievements for Minglang before she came of age, so that she would be more comfortable when she took over the imperial power in the future.

"Don't worry, Mother Queen. I will definitely not let you down."

All the memorials have been reviewed, and Minglang has a small class in a while, so her schedule for the day is even fuller than Liang Chongyue's.

Liang Chongyue looked at her back as she left, feeling distressed but also relieved.

This is how she studied and advanced by feeling her way forward based on the knowledge she gained.

If Minglang works so hard, he will definitely be able to govern Daxia well in the future.

After Minglang left, Liang Chongyue leaned back on the dragon chair with a dark look in his eyes. The milk tea that Yunling had just brought out was emitting a fragrant aroma, and the smell made him feel better.

"Fei He."

Liang Chongyue's voice fell, and a dark shadow appeared in front of her.

"Your Majesty, I am here."

Liang Chongyue played with the jade twist and said casually:

"The carrier eagles of those small countries are definitely not as fast as those of the Qingyu Pavilion. Please help them. I hope that before they return, the beauties from various countries will have arrived in Daxia."

"Yes, my subordinate will do it now."

Qingyu Pavilion has been distributed in various countries over the past ten years. Although it is openly stationed there, there are countless secret agents hidden everywhere, including high-ranking officials and ordinary people. These are all means for Liang Chongyue to control various countries.

After Shanshan resigned, the news quickly reached the post station. There were still many people standing on the high building of the post station, looking down at the quiet courtyard.

Prince Bao hasn't come these days, but the Queen of Daxia shows her concern every day, and they are all delivered personally by Aunt Yunling, who is by the Queen's side.

They were stunned by the scene and had no idea what the Queen of Da Xia was planning.

"There are more soldiers on duty outside the post station these days. It seems that the Great Xia Spring Examination is about to begin."

Someone in an unknown room suddenly spoke up. The windows of several nearby rooms were open, and the words were blown into everyone's ears by the cold wind.

"According to past practice, we should leave the capital before the Spring Examination begins."

Now, all the delegations except Shanshan show no signs of leaving, and everyone knows what they are waiting for.

But the Spring Examination was a big event for Daxia. Those who were quick-witted immediately gave orders to the people below:

"These days, if you see a scholar carrying a bookcase on the street, you must stay away from him. Don't get close to him. If you don't have anything important to do, it's best not to even leave the post station."

The Spring Examination of Daxia lasted nearly a month from beginning to end. The channels used by the emperors of Daxia to select talents seemed fair, but in fact there were many injustices inside.

Although the Queen of Daxia has issued a strict ban on cheating in the imperial examinations, there are still people who are not afraid of death and are willing to take risks to change their fate.

This matter has nothing to do with them. They are just afraid that someone does not want to start this matter fairly, and then throws dirty water on their delegation after it is over.

Their country is not as good as Daxia, and it is a foreign country. When this dirty water is poured on them, they have no way to defend themselves.

Who knows, it might even implicate the motherland in the end. Such risks are like hidden in the air. You can feel it is around you, but you can only feel it when the cold wind blows.

But by then it was too late. The officials involved in the imperial examination cheating would at least be convicted and exiled, not to mention the foreign delegation.

"Daxia is full of dangers. Xiaowan's evil plan seems to have failed. Yuchilan has lost Prince Bao's favor. I don't know when she will be able to leave that small courtyard. Do we really want to take this gamble?"
