Chapter 67 Yongning

Just as Meng Youde had imagined, Jiang Li's examination paper indeed made its way to the palace.

In the Imperial Study Room, a young man stepped out, and the Eunuch Su standing by the door bowed deeply to see him off, watching his departing figure with a sigh. Barely over twenty, he had passed the imperial examinations with flying colors, and within a mere year had climbed to such a position—truly riding the wind and waves, an awe-inspiring young talent.

This young man was none other than the Assistant Head Writer of the day, Shen Yurong. Emperor Hongxiao was very fond of Shen Yurong, often discussing current affairs with him, and there were even rumors that Emperor Hongxiao intended to promote Shen Yurong into the Imperial Cabinet to prepare him as the future Grand Secretary, Jiang Yuanbai's successor.

As for the future, no one could be certain, but that did not hinder people from currying favor with him now.
