No matter what, Situ is his son after all, and he feels sorry for him.
At this time, the people below were still talking: "Who says it's not true? Look, even the Empress Dowager has a special regard for the Seventh Prince."
"Yes, these things are enough to prove the Seventh Prince's ability. I believe the Seventh Prince will not let everyone down."
Situ Yao only felt that these people's ability to make up stories was getting stronger and stronger.
He had only been away from the capital for a while, but he didn't expect that these ministers had developed the ability to tell lies with their eyes open.
"Oh, since this beloved minister praises the Seventh Prince so much, then Situ Zhao, are you willing to carry out this recruitment?" The emperor asked in order to give Situ Zhao a chance to redeem himself.
When everyone recommended Situ Zhao to go to Zhao'an, a look of anxiety appeared on Situ Zhao's face. He didn't expect that these people had the same idea as Cui Mixue, and wanted him to be the envoy of Zhao'an.
However, the more people recommended him, the more dangerous he felt it was, and the less he wanted to go.
He thought that if this matter was really that easy to handle, then why didn't these people go themselves? He completely forgot that these people were his subordinates and naturally had to work hard to do something good for him.
"No, no, father. What I mean is that I am not as powerful as these adults say. I am afraid that I will cause trouble for our country, so your Majesty should choose someone else!" Situ Zhao refused.
This situation was beyond everyone's expectations. They had not thought that Situ Zhao would give up such a lucrative job at this critical juncture.
Even Situ Yao looked at him in surprise.
The emperor asked, "Are you really not going?"
Situ Zhao nodded quickly, afraid that someone else would speak at this time.
"In that case, Prince, then you go." The emperor was a little angry. He didn't want to take the chance to make a contribution for free. In that case, he might as well give it to someone else.
The ministers were in an uproar again.
"Your Majesty, the Crown Prince has been pampered and ignorant of the suffering of the people. I'm afraid it's impossible for him to recruit them. Let's leave this matter to someone else."
In fact, this person wanted to say that Situ Yao did not understand the people's hearts.
Most of those who could become officials in the imperial court were extremely intelligent people, but how many of them could understand what he meant?
Someone else continued, "Yes, Your Majesty, although recruiting the people is a simple matter, it is also the key to winning the hearts and minds of the people. It cannot be decided lightly."
After saying that, the man glanced at Situ Zhao, as if conveying some message to him.
Seeing someone trying to stop him, Situ Yao took a step forward and said, "Father, please rest assured that this matter will be handed over to me. Also, please wait and see how this prince will recruit you, my lord, who has called me a spoiled child."
At this time, Situ Zhao had already understood the meaning of the person who was looking at him, and knew in his heart that this time he had turned down a lucrative job.
The feeling of regret filled Situ Zhao's heart in an instant.
However, the matter was done. Even if he said now that he regretted it and wanted to surrender, it would only make the emperor's opinion of him worse.
He could only sigh in frustration, hiding his regret and unwillingness.
After the court session, everyone left in twos and threes. At the door, Situ Zhao was waiting there. When he saw Situ Yao coming out, he stopped him.
"Your Majesty the Crown Prince congratulates me," said Situ Zhao.
This behavior was very strange. Situ Yao raised an eyebrow at the man who said one thing and meant another, and smiled: "Congratulations? Congratulations for what? How come this prince doesn't know?"
Playing mad and stupid, Situ Zhao thought to himself, but a mocking smile appeared on his face: "The Crown Prince went to seek the amnesty, such a popular thing, isn't it worth congratulating?"
So that's how it is. Situ Yao looked at Situ Zhao's expression and guessed what he was thinking.
It was probably because for some reason at the beginning, Situ Zhao did not understand that recruiting was a good thing, so he accepted it and then reacted. But now, he was probably unhappy and wanted to cause trouble for himself.
The ministers had not gone far, and some of them even stopped when they noticed the actions of the Situ Zhao brothers.
Now, not just the two of them, but many people are paying attention to them.
Situ Yao knew that he was the crown prince and the elder brother, and sometimes he should give in to his younger brother.
Therefore, at this time, not only did he not show any disgust towards Situ Zhao, but he acted like a brother and said to Situ Zhao, "Originally, you should have gone to do this. In fact, it was this prince who stole your job."
As he spoke, he deliberately patted Situ Zhao's shoulder: "You won't blame my brother, will you?"
Although Situ Zhao didn't know why Situ Yao suddenly acted like this, it didn't affect his mockery of Situ Yao at all.
"So the Crown Prince also knew about this. This was originally my business. However, it should be me who should be embarrassed that the Crown Prince picked up the job I didn't want."
After saying that, he burst into laughter. He just wanted to embarrass Situ Yao in front of others.
So what if it's a good job? I didn't want it anyway.
Situ Yao said nothing more and left.
When he arrived at the Imperial Observatory, Situ Yao went straight to the Director of the Supervisory Department, Tu Xingyun.
"The night sky in the northwest?" Tu Xingyun asked after learning of Situ Yao's request.
Situ Yao nodded.
Because of what Master Xu Chen'an and his apprentice said recently, he had to think more, so he came to Tu Xingyun for help.
I hope he can observe any changes in the northwest sky in recent times.
Tu Xingyun agreed immediately. This was not a difficult task for him.
Xu Chen'an delivered the medicine on time. Since the poison had stabilized during this period, Su Mengyan left the original palace.
Su Meng always felt that Xu Chen'an's dedication to them during this period was not just a routine matter, or a thank you gift of gold, silver, or jewelry.
It’s not that she hadn’t used things to test Xu Chen’an, but it didn’t work.
More importantly, Xu Chen'an is now the only person to detoxify.
However, she wanted to know the truth, so after taking the medicine, she looked at Xu Chen'an, who had not yet left, and asked, "Why did you save me?"
As Xu Chen'an packed his things, he said, "A doctor's heart is like a parent's. Don't people often say that saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda?"
This is obviously an attempt to fool Su Mengyan. Su Mengyan is not a fool, how could she possibly believe it?
She sat on the chair, stroking the ring on her other hand, turning it over and over: "Others may believe this, but I don't."
She was determined today to know the truth, otherwise, there would be no need to ask in the first place.
"Of course, there's no need to mention those claims of wanting fame, money, or being forced by the emperor's orders. You should know I don't believe any of that."
