Many people are trying to figure out the emperor's intentions. The King of Han suffered a setback, and the emperor promoted the second son of King Jing. Could it be that the emperor is referring to King Jing?

Many old ministers looked at each other and decided that it was time to continue writing memorials to persuade His Majesty to establish a crown prince.

Is it true that King Han has no hope?

Everyone else was trying to guess what the old emperor was thinking, only Su Juan sighed again and again, "It would be nice to have a position as the Minister of Rites."

Some people pricked up their ears immediately. These six officials were directly under the emperor and supervised the six ministries, but they had low ranks and offended people. From what the Yuanwailang said, it seemed that they had become very popular.

[She watches others work all day long. She can participate in politics and conduct supervision and impeachment. She can impeach anyone she dislikes. Although she is only a seventh-rank official, her superior is the old emperor. She has a bright future. Who wouldn't be respectful to her? ]

Lords: It seems to be the same thing again.

Duke Ping coughed lightly. This girl is quite ambitious now, but her mind is always thinking about messing with others.

Su Juan recalled the previous encounter with the Criminal Department Secretary. [When I was helping the Ministry of Justice, I met that Criminal Department Secretary. Even the arrogant Dali Temple Minister was respectful to him, fearing that he might offend him.]

Yu Zhong, the Minister of Dali Temple: "." Just say it to the Six Departments Censors. Do you have to hold me ass together with them?

The old emperor almost laughed out loud, his eyes fell on Yu Zhong, and many people also looked at Yu Zhong.

It seems that Yu Qing's butt is more upturned than others.

Su Juan sighed, "Oh, I'm so envious. I'm nothing like you, a lowly rank 6th rank official who has no say and who everyone wants to step on. 】

All: ???

The old emperor's eyes fell deep on the courtier in front of him.

The ministers were indignant: Look at all the civil and military officials in the court, who dares to step on you!

I don't even have time to avoid you, who has the guts to step on you? This is obviously bullshit!

[It would be great if I could also be a Six-Ministry Censor, I wouldn't have to be watched by those old men in the Censorate, and I could gossip in front of the old emperor every day. Just thinking about it makes me happy.]

Minister Mo: That’s why all the Six Departments’ Censors in history were not liked by people.

But Su Juan's face was filled with envy. [It's a pity that I'm just a sixth-rank official in the Ministry of Revenue who can't even speak. To meet the old emperor like today, I need the old emperor to summon me.]

All the ministers felt as if they had survived a calamity and breathed a sigh of relief. Many colleagues in the court had been killed by Yuanwailang in the past year. Every time she said a few words lightly, His Majesty would send people to investigate thoroughly, and some of them had even lost their jobs, titles, and heads.

Fortunately, Mr. Su was not the Six-Ministry Censor, otherwise he would have impeached all the civil and military officials.

The sober old emperor: What's this about participating in politics, discussing politics, supervising and impeaching? This girl obviously just wants to gossip.

He really thought he had some ambition, but all he could think about was becoming a censor in the six departments.

When the courtiers came out, the eunuchs also came out and reminded Su Juan in a low voice, "Sir Su, His Majesty wants to see you."

【What do you want to see me for? 】

Su Juan hurriedly adjusted her official hat and stood up. Minister Mo looked at her, shook his head and sighed. Alas, she is ambitious, but also seems not to be ambitious.

He left with a long sigh.

Duke Ping patted Su Juan on the shoulder and said, "Come back early. I will ask the chef in the mansion to cook a few dishes you like today."

Su Juan: “?”

[Why do I feel like these people are looking at me as if they are sending me off? ]

[Alas, what am I imagining? The old emperor is not a beast, it's not possible. ]

She followed the eunuch in with her head down. After the eunuch left, she didn't hear any movement from the old emperor for a long time. She raised her eyes quietly and glanced at him, only to see that the old emperor was reading memorials.

It doesn't look like he wants to pay attention to me.

Su Juan could only wait patiently.

After an unknown amount of time, the old emperor finally put down the last memorial in his hand and looked at Su Juan who was still standing in front of him. He had waited for so long, but she hadn't even complained. It seemed that this girl had become a lot tougher in the past year.

The old emperor coughed lightly and said, "Su Qing, come forward and talk."

But after a while, Su Juan did not move.

"Su Qing?" The old emperor called again, but Su Juan still stood there motionless.

He looked suspiciously, "?" He couldn't have fallen asleep.

Seeing that Su Juan still didn't move, the old emperor simply got up and walked down, walked around Su Juan twice, and finally confirmed that she was really asleep.

The old emperor: “.”

The next moment, with a "clang", the teacup broke into pieces!

The eunuchs and guards immediately rushed in, shouting, "There's an assassin! Help!"

This shout woke Su Juan from her sweet dream and she opened her eyes suddenly. [There is an assassin? Protect the old emperor!]

She opened her eyes and saw the old emperor sitting high on the throne. He slowly picked up a handkerchief and wiped his tea-stained hands. "I just broke a teacup. Why are you so flustered? Back off."

Everyone looked at each other and left the hall.

Su Juan: “.”

[Su Juan, Su Juan, why are you so careless? Even if the old emperor wants to make things difficult for you, you can't fall asleep! ]

The old emperor snorted softly. This girl had just woken up from her sleep, and her first reaction was to rescue and protect him. She was really loyal.

Well, considering her loyalty, I will not bother with her about this misconduct in front of the palace.

"I heard that you are very familiar with Song Qianhang, the second son of Prince Jing?"

【？ 】

Su Juan thought the old emperor called her in for some important matter, but [that's it?]

She replied respectfully, "Your Majesty, I have had some interactions with Song Qianhang, but we are not very close."

Are you kidding? How can you tell the truth in front of the old emperor?

[Song Qianhang is Song Qianfan's younger brother, how can he be familiar with him? ]

The old emperor looked suspiciously at Su Juan for a long time, "Really? But why did I hear that you two often go to Baihua Tower with Xie Xun from the Duke's Mansion?"

Su Juan smiled flatteringly, "Your Majesty, I think it was a misunderstanding by the outsiders. I am a woman, how could I go to a place like a prostitute?"

The old emperor tapped the table with his fingertips. At this time, the broken teacups had been picked up by the eunuchs.

"Oh, really? But if Su Qing has never been there, how would she know that Baihualou is a place of brothels?"

The old emperor's voice was sometimes light and sometimes heavy, which made Su Juan's heart tremble. She was afraid that the old emperor could really hear her thoughts, and she was also afraid that she could not control her mind and leaked some secret.

But the old emperor called Su Juan in today because she had not revealed the secret for a long time.

Su Juan bit back, "Your Majesty, I have definitely never been there."

The old emperor pondered for a while, and suddenly asked, "I have no children, and the ministers in the court have long urged me to establish a crown prince. Su Qing, who among my brothers do you think can take on this important task?"

[What the hell!? ]

【Why are you asking me this all of a sudden? 】

[Could it be that the old emperor already knew that Song Qianfan had been in close contact with Yu Ting, the deputy commander of the Imperial Guards, and Mei He, the Minister of Personnel, and had his eyes on the dragon throne! ? ]

The old emperor: “?”

Why does it feel like the news was revealed particularly smoothly today?

It's the last day of the month, everyone, stop saving and throw your money at my face, hahahaha~
