"I see."

Song Shiwen signaled Bai Yong to return the official certificate to Feng Yuan, "Ji County is my hometown, and you are my father's father as the magistrate of Ji County."

"Your Excellency the Prime Minister, you are truly embarrassing me." Feng Yuan answered neither humbly nor arrogantly.

"You were a Jinshi in the thirteenth year of the Yuan Jing era. You later served as an editor in the Hanlin Academy for ten years, and now, in your middle age, you've been appointed county magistrate... You should have been promoted long ago, but you've been suppressed for a full ten years. Do you know why?"

Feng Yuan pondered for a moment before speaking: "It is because I am not very talented and well-educated..."

"No."

Song Shiwen said calmly: "You followed the wrong person. If you are willing to switch to me, I can guarantee that you will be promoted to prefect within two years. After two years in the position of prefect, I will promote you to the capital..."

Except for the two parties involved, the rest of the people were all shocked, even Song Chi was no exception. It seemed that this County Magistrate Feng was indeed extraordinary, otherwise how could Song Shiwen win him over so directly.

"How could I have deserved the kindness of the Prime Minister?" Feng Yuan's tone remained calm without any ripples.

"I can give you some time to think about it."

"Thank you for your kindness, Prime Minister. I have no intention of changing my allegiance." Feng Yuan refused directly, not giving Song Shiwen any face at all, and even intended to criticize him.

He is a member of the Qingliu Party, so how could he switch to the Wen Party?

Song Shiwen's eyes flashed with anger, but he didn't lash out. He glanced at Song Chi and asked, "What's the matter with you guys?"

Feng Yuan continued, "Your Excellency, this examinee has written a truly astonishing essay. I would like to name him first in the county, but Magistrate Bai disagrees and has come to ask Your Excellency for your decision."

Hearing this, Song Shiwen's eyes fell on Song Chi.
