Chapter 1146 Luring The Tiger Out Of His Den
The three of them returned to the Taiji Pce.
As soon as Chengye entered the hall, he saw many little things in it. A windmill, a merry go round, a
kite, nine consecutive rings, a doll...
"Wow!" He broke free from Yun Shang''s hand and rushed to the toys.
"There are so many interesting things! Mom, are these all for me? " Then he turned to look at Yun
Shang with his sparkling eyes.
Yun Shang smiled and said, "They are not prepared by mother. It was prepared by your fathher. You
have to ask him."
"Father!" Then he turned to look at Luo Qingyan.
"It''s for you. You did a good job in the game with your mother in Changting garden. This is your
reward."
"Thank you, father. I love you the most," said Chengye cheerfully.
"These things are all yours. I''ll ask someone to move them to your room. You can ask Qian Liu to y
with you, okay?" Yun Shang''s eyes were full of tenderness.
"Okay."
Yun Shang turned around and took a look at Qian Zhuo. Qian Zhuo called in the servants to move
away all the toys in the hall.
Chengye stood aside and looked at them unblinkingly, as if he was afraid that the servants would break
his toys.
Qian Zhuo was amused by him. She reached out her hand and said, "Prince, let''s go. I''ll take you
there."
Chengye held Qian Zhuo hand in a hurry.
Standing aside and watching, Luo Qingyan suddenly said, "Now you shouldn''t call him the Prince. You
should call him crown prince."
Yun Shang looked at him in surprise, "Then the imperial edict..."
Luo Qingyan smiled, "the imperial edict was made by me in person. It is covered with the imperial seal,
and it was read out in the early court. Naturally, it should also take effect. Next, I''ll ask someone to
announce this to the world. "
Qian Zhuo quickly said, "Your highness crown prince, I''ll take you there."
Chengye went out of the door with Qian Zhuo happily. Yun Shang smiled and said, "How could it be?
You conferred Chengye the title of the crown prince even before your enthronement ceremony. "
"Why not? Chengye will be the crown prince sooner orter. There is no difference. "
Hearing Luo Qingyan''s words, Yun Shang shook her head with a smile and changed the topic, "After
today''s incident, there are too many things to deal with. I''m afraid we''ll be busy for a while."
"So many official positions have been vacant in the court. What are you going to do, your majesty?"
Without any hesitation, Luo Qingyan answered, "Imperial examination."
Hearing this, Yun Shang frowned slightly. "The imperial examination is indeed the best way to recruit

talents, but it will take some time. I''m afraid we can''t wait that long. "
"Later, I''ll ask Liu Wenan to check the positions that have been vacant one by one, and then I''ll rank
them ording to the urgency...."
"I''ll ask some remaining courtiers to take in charge of the most important positions temporarily or select
some talented people among my men to fill these positions directly. As for the less important positions,
I''ll ask someone to post a notice in the city that all talented ones could attend the examination
regardless of family background. I will also simplify the four rounds of the imperial examination into two.
"
"I''ll set up a registration office and ask several officials to take in charge of the first round."
"The candidates they choose in the first round will directly been tested by me in the second round. I will
take two hours every day to test them one by one in person. As for the selected people, I will put them
on the suitable positions ording to his preferences and specialty. "
Yun Shang''s brows were still knitted. "In this way, we can indeed select talents faster, but it''s also easy
to miss out some people who have ulterior motives."
Luo Qingyan smiled, "I know your concern. There are two kinds of people you are talking about. One is
to assassinate me. After passing the first round, they can easily enter the pce to see me. It is indeed
a chance for those assassins. But how could they assassin me easily? Not to mention the numerous
secret guards in the pce, even if I fight alone, I''m not afraid. "
Looking at Luo Qingyan''s confident face, Yun Shang couldn''t help but re at him. "Yes, you''re right.
You''re the best in the world. Uncle is the best in Kung Fu, so he is naturally not afraid of anything."
Luo Qingyan also smiled, "Well, it''s good that you know it."
"The other is people who are interested in the throne. They will try their best to arrange some people
into the court."
"This kind of thing has been inevitable since ancient times. Although I''m recruiting talents, I won''t really
put them on the important positions. And for all the people who have passed the two rounds, I will also
send my secret guards to carefully investigate their family background. Once I find something wrong, I
will reconsider... "
Yun Shang nodded, "That''s a good idea. Now all the people of Xia Houjing have been eliminated, and
the vacant positions can be controlled by us. At least, we can put our trusted people in some important
positions. "
Luo Qingyan smiled, "Yes. But it was only temporary. No one could always be trusted. If they were
ced on the official positions, it would be difficult to guarantee that they won''t change. "
Yun Shang nodded slightly, "Yes, after all, people have their own thoughts. I''m afraid it''s impossible to
control it forever. "
"Apart from that, there is still no news about the workmen. What''s your majesty''s n?"
Luo Qingyan smiled, "Xia Houjing''s power is far more than what we found in the court and the imperial
household. We haven''t found anything on Ling Hai, the most suspicious one. Now the court has been
basically cleared up, and we can take our time to deal with the things outside... "
"At least, Xia Houjing is still in our hands. They thought they had been in control of Xia Houjing''s
whereabouts. But now after this incident, I''m afraid they will be in a panic for a while as they suddenly
found they had lost contract with Xia Houjing."
"Besides, I always feel that so many workmen from the Department of Works have gone to Liu Cang,
Siyang and Nanyang. Isn''t Xia Houjing afraid that we will find out what he is nning ording to the
news?"
"Your majesty, what do you think?" Yun Shang looked at Luo Qingyan.
"The trick of luring the tiger out of his den." Luo Qingyan smiled, "Did I tell you that Liu Yinfeng has left
Liucang City?"
