C113 Liuyan Middle Recovery

Now that things had come to this point, it would not be appropriate to decline any further.

Besides, from yesterday afternoon's conversation, this Young Master Ji was a very humorous person. If one were to travel together with him, he would be considered a good partner.

Su Zixuan nodded. On the other side, Ji Xing had been watching Su Zixuan's expression ever since he finished speaking. Seeing her nod, he finally relaxed.

They left with a wide smile on their faces. Only Shopkeeper Chen stood on the spot, wanting to say something but then stopped himself.

From his point of view, this young master Ji had a temperament and said that he would not disturb them. However, Manager Liu would bring the caravan back tomorrow, leaving behind only a few servants.

In the end, he didn't say anything. With so many people in his group, he would just have more young masters.

"..."

However, something big had happened in the capital.

In the morning assembly, just as the eunuch who had read out the decree was about to announce, "It's the start again. If there's nothing else, we'll leave the court."

Ma Ziming stood up from below.

"Your Majesty, I have my own plans."

The Emperor nodded. "Speak, what do you want to play?"

"The position of the justice courts has been vacant for a long time, so the position of the Deep Sense Temple is extremely important. Today, I have come to request someone from His Majesty."

The emperor looked at Ma Ziming and recalled that this position was indeed vacant, but looking back at the court, he did not see anyone suitable.

"Is there a suitable candidate for your beloved official?" If not, he would have to ask the Ministry to select people. The Ministry had the authority to transfer any position below the sixth rank. The Emperor thought that when the Ministry of Government selected the list of names, he would just have to choose one.

Ma Zi Ming hesitated for a moment, then said: "This humble subject wishes to recommend the original official of the justice court, Liu Yan, to assume this post."

When these words were spoken, the entire hall burst into an uproar. The emperor narrowed his eyes slightly.

Thinking of this, he said in a deep voice: "Tell me why you recommended him."

Ma Ziming had taken the risk in one move and was already sweating profusely, but he still replied: "Liu Yan is a man with exceptional talent. When he was serving in the Palace, he had solved countless grievances for us, and this humble subject has watched over the Supreme Court and feels that it would be most appropriate for him to assume the position."

The Emperor was elated and didn't reply. He only said in a low voice, "Then do you still remember why he was abandoned?"

Ma Zi Ming was already regretting his decision. However, since he had said all that, there was no reason for him to not say it.

"This humble subject remembers that in the past few days, this subject has observed Liu Yan and discovered that he is very different from before. Not only does he not drink anymore, he is even recuperating." Ma Zi Ming wiped his sweat and continued: "That is exactly why I dared to recommend him."

The emperor's expression didn't change, but there was no trace of anger or joy. He immediately spoke of this matter before leaving the imperial court.

Chu Yixuan was on his way back from the imperial court. He had not been surprised when Ma Ziming had recommended Liu Yanzhong. In his opinion, this was only a matter of course.

A few days ago, an undercover agent came to report that Liu Yan had gone to find the current justice court's official, Ma Ziming.

As the former best subordinate and assistant of the Supreme Court's Shaoqing, his relationship with the Supreme Court's Shaoqing was naturally not ordinary.

Chu Yixuan didn't know what Ma Ziming had said when he found Liu Yan, but since it was only those few items, he had brought it up earlier today.

The original justice courts had just been promoted to be the Supreme Court's junior minister, and in the past few years they had still promoted him to the position of the temple. However, the position of the temple was still kept, most likely reserved by Ma Ziming for Liu Yan.

This was indeed the case.

In terms of ability, what Ma Ziming admired the most was Liu Yan. The two of them were about the same age, and he had only entered the official court two years earlier than the other person. Otherwise, who could say who would be the current Supreme Court official?

The fact that he was willing to pull himself together was something that Ma Ziming would be happy to do. Thus, he had specially mentioned him to the Emperor. Rather than asking others to take over his seat in the justice courts, why not ask him to come back himself?

Ma Ziming was not a narrow-minded person. He admired Liu Yan's talents, but he himself would not sacrifice himself. Although he had been called an official a few years ago, he was actually still more of a friend.

Chu Yixuan pondered the matter as he walked. Liu Yan's ability was obvious to all. It was only a matter of time before the emperor agreed.

However, if Liu Yan wanted to recover at this moment, that would be interesting.

"Seventh Brother, wait for me." Chu Yixiu shouted from behind, interrupting Chu Yixuan's train of thoughts.

"Seventh Brother, why did you leave so quickly?" Chu Yixiu complained as he walked forward.

Chu Yixuan smiled faintly. "You're obviously the one walking at a slow pace. Why are you blaming me?"

Chu Yixiu was about to say something, but after seeing something, he suddenly stopped talking and dragged Chu Yixuan away.

Chu Yixuan didn't know what had happened, but just as he was about to ask, he saw a man in red clothes walking over to them.

Chu Yi Xiu led them far away without even giving them a second thought.

Chu Yi Xiu saw that there was no one behind him, then let out a sigh of relief.

"What's wrong, Princess Jia He offended you." Chu Yixuan lightly waved his fan, looking at his younger brother with a slightly amused expression.

That's right, the woman in red from earlier was none other than Jia He Princess.

"You're still talking about it, Seventh Brother. This little brother here is trying to protect you from a disaster." He continued, "In the two months that you weren't in the capital, she changed her target and found me. It looks like she's trying to win me over."

After saying that, he winked at Chu Yixuan, "Seventh brother's kindness towards this beauty is the most difficult to bear. I've caused my younger brother to suffer as well."
