In Shengjing, during a grand court session one day, an official from the Zhao family suddenly submitted a memorial requesting the emperor to adopt a son to enrich the imperial family.

His reason was to adopt a child to strengthen the boyishness in the palace, since wasn't there going to be a talent show?

We can learn from folk customs and see if these people can attract a few princes.

The ministers remained silent, waiting for the emperor to speak.

Zhao Yunqi said calmly, "After the selection of princes, there will be no need to cause trouble."

In terms of etiquette and law, adopted children are equivalent to biological children. Once this precedent is set, everyone will start to become restless.

What annoyed him was that some members of the Zhao family were becoming increasingly arrogant.

The matter seemed to be temporarily suppressed by the emperor without any ripples, but unexpectedly, rumors began to circulate in Shengjing two days later.

In fact, the emperor was secretly selecting a son of the Zhao family to be adopted.

Zhao Bupi was the first person mentioned.

The person who pushed him into the spotlight was none other than his own father.

Zhao Bupi was a low-key person and had a very low profile in Shengjing City. Everyone took a closer look.

Wow, this person is even more outstanding than Li Jun and the others.

He was both a scholar and a warrior, a gentleman of great talent. At the age of eighteen, he became the leader of the Jingwu Guard and worked diligently and silently to safeguard the security of Shengjing.

He enjoyed the emperor's deep trust.

The only disappointment is that he is already married.

No wonder his father was so eager to promote him; such an outstanding son was very likely to be chosen by the emperor as his successor.

The rumor spread throughout Shengjing in just half a day. In addition to Xiao Zhixing acting as the instigator, some members of the Zhao family also took the initiative to help her and take the blame.

After that, she didn't need to exert any more effort, and the whole world knew about it.

That evening, Zhao Bupi left his father's study with a livid face.

The next morning, he entered the palace and knelt in front of the Shengde Hall, taking off his black gauze hat and placing it on the ground, looking as if he were begging for forgiveness.

Inside the hall.

Zhao Yunqi rubbed his forehead, looking exhausted. He had been suffering from insomnia all night and could only get a little sleep after burning some calming incense.

Therefore, my mood wasn't very good this morning.

"How long have you been kneeling?"

Fu Lu said, "Your Majesty, Lord Zhao has been kneeling for an hour."

Zhao Yunqi slowly got up, and after being served breakfast by palace servants, he said, "Let him go back. I will not blame him."

Fu Lu should go out and spread the word.

Zhao Bupi kowtowed three times, then silently left, clutching his official hat.

Zhao Yunqi got up to review the memorials, and after half an hour he said, "Fu Lu, summon Jiang Bozhou."

The Emperor System asked, "Are you planning to have Zhang Shanhai succeed him?"

Zhao Yunqi nodded, "There's no other way. I must make a statement on this matter and not give people any more hope."

Originally, Zhao Bupi was considered to succeed him as the leader of the Imperial Guards, but now that things have come to this, it is not advisable to give him a more important position.

At least on the surface, they cannot be given important positions, which is also to protect Zhao Bupi.

Otherwise, the Zhao clan would definitely push him into an embarrassing situation.

The Emperor System muttered to itself, "Why do I feel like things are a bit too coincidental?"

Zhao Yunqi shook his head. "These rumors have been circulating for a while now, and their intentions have become increasingly obvious. I decided to hold a talent show to thwart their plans, which led to this farce."

Even if others were putting in the effort, they were only slightly helping each other.

The Emperor System suddenly asked, "You really didn't consider having an adopted child back then?"

Looking back on it, he felt something was amiss.

Zhao Yunqi was very frank, "Isn't it that you're dissatisfied with them all? And you've put forward your own ideas, what can I do but listen to you?"

Emperor System: Is that really the case? No other intentions?

Having witnessed the other subsystem hosts' defensiveness towards their respective subsystems, it now often finds itself wondering whether Zhao Yunqi truly trusts and obeys it.

However, Zhao Yunqi had everything under his control, so he really had no chance to cause trouble.

“Zhang Shanhai and Xiao Zhixing have a close relationship. This time, when he went to Beizhou, he cooperated well with Xiao Zhixing. Can you trust him with the Imperial Guard?” The Emperor System couldn’t help but want to stab Zhao Yunqi.

Zhao Yunqi said calmly, "Zhang Shanhai doesn't have the guts or the brains to betray me. He's loyal enough and has no evil intentions. How can his slight affection for Xiao Zhixing compare to the favor I've shown him?"

The Emperor System scoffed, "I hope so."

Not long after Jiang Bozhou met with the emperor, an imperial edict was sent to the Zhang residence.

Holding the imperial edict, Zhang Shanhai was completely dazed, his face showing surprise and delight at being hit by a pie.

...It just happened like that?!

His reaction prompted the guards who were secretly observing him to nod in agreement, confirming that he had not used any underhanded tactics.

After Xiao Zhixing withdrew from the listening, he immediately ordered the Ghost Guards to withdraw and cease their involvement in the matter.

Looking back, she noticed that her various points in her 186 account had become enormous.

The number of people with a loyalty score of 60 or above reached 400,000.

More than 5,000 people scored above 90.

What surprised her even more was that her total points, achievement points, luck points, and merit points were not only displayed numerically.

Each one was still radiating a dazzling golden light, just like the ones displayed on the main system.

It was covered with mysterious runes, and at first glance it looked high-end, classy, ​​and righteous.

Xiao Zhixing asked 186, "My various points have increased, are there any other changes?"

The 186-point system was bewildered. "Other changes? What other changes?"

It suppressed its envious drool as it frantically searched the host interface, but nothing had changed.

In addition to the fact that various points are increasing rapidly every day, each one is different.

It was certain that even the main system wasn't as wealthy as it was.

Oh dear, it's a pity that none of these are usable!

Xiao Zhixing pondered to himself, what exactly was going on?

What do these golden lights and runes represent?

It's definitely something good.
