Han Qingshan kept winking at Song Shiwen, asking why the Prime Minister didn't give him advice and how he could let the enemy hold such power.

Song Shiwen turned his head away and pretended not to see it.

Not to mention that he has secretly recognized his son, even if they are still in a hostile state, you can't say anything nonsense at this time. His Majesty obviously wants to support Song Chi. If you sing a different tune at this time, aren't you asking for trouble?

Emperor Yuan Jing's expression turned cold. He stared at Han Qingshan and said, "If I remember correctly, your son is in the Zhifang Division, right? Was he just assigned there a few days ago?"

Han Qingshan's expression changed slightly.

His eldest son Han Yuanteng was arranged by him to work in the Zhifang Division a few days ago so that he could make political achievements during the war. His son was the person in charge below and happened to be under Song Chi.

Han Qingshan said stiffly, "My son is only a clerk in charge, and he's only twenty-five. Song Chi is only seventeen, so it's really inappropriate for him to be a doctor."

"A hero's origins are not judged by age, and ambition is not determined by age. As you said, your Ministry of Personnel selects officials based on age. Then why not just select older people? What's the point of the imperial examination?"

The tone is already very strong.

Han Qingshan was busy explaining, "Your Majesty, that's not what I meant. I meant..."

"That's enough."

Emperor Yuan Jing said directly: "Last year, your Han family was implicated in the Ji County case. The case has not yet been concluded. It is inappropriate for you, the head of the Han family, to serve as an assistant minister in the Ministry of Personnel. First, demote you to a doctor and wait until the case is concluded."

Han Qingshan knelt down immediately. He never expected that the emperor would demote him with just one word.

Song Shiwen was also shocked. Just as he was about to speak, Emperor Yuan Jing asked directly, "Who else thinks it's inappropriate for me to let Song Chi be the doctor?"
