"yes!!!"

Yuan Xiu had already decided on this matter, and now he was reenacting it in front of Wen Tai as a formal announcement.

Yuan Xiu smiled at Wen Tai and said, "This is the first time our dynasty has held a military examination. We have no experience to draw on. If there are any shortcomings in their work, we would appreciate the assistance of the Left Prime Minister."

Wen Tai said, "We are all serving the country, so I will do my best to help."

As he spoke, Wen Tai looked at Lü Lu and said sincerely, "If Eunuch Lü needs anything from me, please don't hesitate to ask."

Lü Lu nodded and smiled, "Thank you, Left Prime Minister."

"Excellent!"

Yuan Xiu raised his hand to signal the others to stand up, then walked towards Wen Hu and said, "Lord of Sha County."

"Your subject is here!" Wen Hu suppressed his resentment and quickly knelt down.

Yuan Xiu said, "You told me at the state banquet that Zhou Chuan and Chen Chong are already top-notch masters at such a young age, with unlimited potential. Zhou Chuan has already agreed to participate in the martial arts examination, and as for Chen Chong... judging from the timeline, he should have already left Changsui City."

Wen Hu's eyes lit up, and he immediately understood Yuan Xiu's meaning.

"Once this matter is handled well, there's no need for you to remain idle at home to avoid suspicion. The Da Jing army is in dire need of talent like you!"

Yuan Xiu patted Wen Hu on the shoulder and said with a smile, "Your uncle has a good saying: 'When recommending someone for a position, one should not avoid relatives!' I have high hopes for you!"

"Your subject will certainly not fail in his mission!" Wen Hu breathed a sigh of relief, finally hearing some good news.

His Majesty directly assigning him a task is the best opportunity!

Yuan Xiu thought for a moment and then said, "Chen Chong will protect Zhou Jinghuan and will be inseparable from him. What you do is your business, but you must not hurt Zhou Jinghuan."

"Your subject understands!"

...

Inside the Left Prime Minister's residence, Wen Tai, Wen Hu, and Yu Changsi were discussing matters in the hall.

"Uncle, His Majesty's arrangements for the military examinations are clearly aimed at you!"

"I know."

Wen Tai sighed and said, "It's probably because His Majesty and I think the same way. We feel that Zhao Cheng is not a threat, and our teacher really seems to be enjoying his retirement. He thinks that the Right Prime Minister's Mansion is no longer a threat, so he has started to be wary of the Left Prime Minister's Mansion."

Wen Hu said, "Zhao Cheng is about to become the emperor's son-in-law. Shouldn't His Majesty be even more wary of the Right Chancellor's office?"

“But the princess is marrying down!” Wen Tai shook his head.

Yu Changsi continued, "Although I don't know who came up with this idea, it is indeed a good move. If Zhao Cheng moves into the princess's residence, it's the same as moving Zhao Huan to Changsui, and His Majesty will have to be wary. But since the princess has gone to Yanchuan, Zhao Cheng will only have the title of consort and no real benefits, so His Majesty will naturally lower his guard against him."

Wen Tai narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "Based on my understanding of His Majesty, he may be thinking about something deeper. The Princess entering the Right Prime Minister's residence is tantamount to His Majesty planting a spies next to Zhao Huan."

Yu Changsi nodded and added, "It's still an iron nail! They know it's a nail, but they dare not pull it out, nor can they. So His Majesty feels that the Right Chancellor's office can rest easy!"

Wen Hu wasn't stupid, but he wasn't as perceptive as Wen Tai and Yu Changsi. After hearing what they said, he immediately understood and said, "In that case, we should kill Zhao Cheng as soon as possible!"
