Become a founding empress in ancient times with the system

The next day, Li Ru hurried over and said, "Sir, I don't think this man is a businessman. He looks more like a spy."

Sheng Changan's eyes sank slightly. Since she was going to open the business, there would naturally be people from all sides, and she had made preparations, but the Xianbei people were strictly prohibited from entering the city.

Unexpectedly, they specifically found such a person. "Don't alert the enemy yet, see if there is a contact person."

"Sir, I asked Qingping. Although this man doesn't look like a businessman, the identity he mentioned does exist." This is what made her confused. "And this person did come to Guangping recently."

Sheng Changan had a headache. Identity cards in ancient times were too easy to forge. Even with a portrait, it was still relatively easy to sneak into the city.

"Ask the staff on duty that day. Don't let them find out. I hope Ashler Yi is still alive!"

"Are you suspicious, sir? But it has been three years, why did you suddenly think of it?" Li Ru was a little skeptical.

"I'm not sure either, I'm just being prepared." And it's not necessarily that she really wanted to save him, but she had to admit that this guy was pretty stubborn. For three years, he never opened his mouth despite being tortured.

I don’t know what Ashler Yan did to allow him to achieve this.

Calculating the time, Shen Huaizhi and others should be preparing to return at this time. "Master Du, can I communicate with you by letter?"

Li Ru shook his head. The communication was not very reliable. After the explosives were unveiled in Guangping County, people from all over the place had been trying to find out. It was inevitable that the communication would be intercepted.

Sheng Changan frowned. Now that he had attracted attention, he was afraid that he would be in trouble on the way. With Shen Huaizhi around, forcing his way in shouldn't be difficult.

On the day of the Spring Chamber, Sheng Changan and others were preparing to enter the examination room with their test papers. This time, they had already gone through a selection process, and the top few candidates from various places were selected to prepare for the exam.

Although Jingguo had a female emperor during the Qing Dynasty, it had been so many years that there were almost no women serving as officials in the court. If this was the case in the court, what about the people?

Even though the people here all knew that Sheng Changan was a woman, and because of her various actions, the people here had a tough character, but the majority of those taking the exam this time were still men.

Sheng Changan glanced at the people sitting there. There were about fifty people, and only six women. They were all young, about sixteen or seventeen years old, but they had their hair in a bun like unmarried girls.

It is rare for someone to be unmarried at this age. Sheng Changan's eyes showed no expression as he scanned the candidates present one by one, finally stopping on Yuan Qi.

After they finished, Sheng Changan took out his test paper first. It must be said that it was refreshing.

Chen Hanlin also saw that "Yuan Qi really understands the adults' thoughts and his articles are well-organized." The key is that he recognizes what the adults have done.

As far as he knew, this was the result after screening. Some of the remarks made during the exams in various places were quite radical.

After checking, I found out that most of these people had little property, and some of them simply couldn't stand women holding official positions. However, Yuan Qi's answer was not only meaningless, but also put forward several feasible suggestions.

Sun Yuan was a little curious. It was rare to see Mr. Chen look so approving.

Sheng Changan put his test paper on the table. The handwriting was sharp and restrained, and the content was concise and clear. When Chen Hanlin and others first wrote something, they also wrote a lot of nonsense at the beginning.

After her correction, these people finally changed their habits. This Yuan Qi unexpectedly suited her taste.

Chen Hanlin stroked his beard and said, "It seems the first place has been announced."

Sun Yuan raised an eyebrow. "The Huainan Yuan family, I've heard of their name during my travels. I heard that when the world is in turmoil, the most outstanding descendants of the Yuan family will choose to come out of seclusion to seek a wise leader."

"That means there's more than one person coming out of the Yuan family this time." Sheng Changan was a little confused. "Is the Yuan family still prone to killing each other?"

Sun Yuan was choked by this sentence. After thinking about it carefully, he said, "They have always been like this. They come out in troubled times and retreat in prosperous times."

Sheng Changan nodded. He didn't understand the idealistic Yuan family, but he respected them.
