"Old Five's previous incident of illegally manufacturing weapons implicated many officials. Now that there are vacancies, we need to promote some people. Does Old Nine have any ideas?"
It can be seen that the old man is still not completely confident in Fan Yunxiao. If Fan Yunxiao reports the names of some officials at this moment, it will be confirmed that he is colluding with officials and forming cliques just like the seventh and eighth brothers.
Even if there is no crown prince, it is actually normal for princes to form cliques with officials.
But it was obvious that the old man did not want Fan Yunxiao, who looked the dumbest and simplest, to be such a person.
"I?"
Under the old emperor's gaze, Fan Yunxiao pointed at himself blankly, then frowned and thought seriously, and shook his head after a while.
"I'm not very familiar with the officials in the capital, so I don't have anything to recommend. Your Majesty, why don't you ask my elder brothers? They should have better suggestions."
The old emperor's face suddenly turned dark. If he wanted his seventh and eighth brothers to take over, why would he have called this idiot over?
At the same time, he looked at Lao Jiu in front of him suspiciously. Was he really not clear about it, or was he pretending to be stupid?

Thinking of this, the old emperor gradually felt relieved.
"Since you're not familiar with it, then go get familiar with it. I'll give you three days to select officials to fill the recently vacant positions."
"Ah? Your son is here to choose?"
Fan Yunxiao's eyes widened in surprise. "Father, I just returned to the capital and I'm not familiar with anyone. This isn't very suitable, is it?"
The old emperor's face suddenly darkened. "I told you to choose, just obey my orders. Do you think you can disobey me?"
Fan Yunxiao was immediately startled and quickly responded, "Yes, I obey your order."
"Remember, don't just give me a few vacancies. I want the most suitable candidate!"
"Yes, Father, I understand."
