He was quite surprised. He never had a good impression of Song Qing. He was usually quiet and cowardly in the court, but he didn't expect that he was actually a loyal minister!

Fortunately, he picked up this little brat today, otherwise he would have almost missed out on a loyal minister.

"Song Aiqing, what are you talking about?"

The great tyrant stood up and walked to Song Qing, helping him up from the ground. "I am not going to punish you today, but to reward you."

"A commendation?" Song Qing looked bewildered.

The great tyrant patted his shoulder with relief and said, "I know you are an honest and upright official. I also hope that after your promotion, you will continue to be a good official who governs the country with integrity and cares for the people. Don't let me down!"

"Your Majesty..." Song Qing's eyes turned red after hearing what the emperor said. He had been reading poetry and books since he was a child just to serve the country and share the worries of His Majesty when he grew up. Finally, his hard work paid off and he passed the imperial examination and became a high-ranking official.

Although he had not handled any major cases during his year as an official, he believed that he had never let a bad guy go.

Recently, he couldn't sleep all night because of the "Night Talk Scholar" incident, fearing that his ambitions would be wasted and that his great ambitions would not be achieved.

But he never expected that His Majesty's words today made him feel that his efforts were not in vain, and that the emperor he respected did not let him down!

Song Qing: "I will definitely live up to your Majesty's trust!"

The Tyrant: "I am pleased to have you like this."

Wanwan: [Why doesn't this scumbag dad follow the rules? But you deserve it, little brother Song Qing. You're a good person after all.]

Not long after Lord Song left, someone else came.

Eunuch Fu: "Your Majesty, General Luo Shen is here."

[Luo Shen? Isn't this guy the traitor who later colluded with Concubine Rou to break the tyrant's leg?]
