“That’s what students think.”
Song Gongwen said, "Nowadays, our Great Wei may seem prosperous, but in reality, it is scorching hot and full of hidden dangers. Since I have been promoted by Your Majesty to this position, I must eradicate these evils one by one, but my power alone is too limited."
"Therefore, I hope to receive your help and support. With your help, I will surely be able to eliminate the stubborn disease of the imperial court!"
Hearing this, Zhang Zhengming nodded and said, "Actually, I'm well aware of the court's shortcomings."
"Unfortunately, I'm old now. Even if I want to do something, I'm powerless."
"I originally thought I would leave with regret, but fortunately, I saw you coming."
"Don't worry, I will support you even if it costs me my old bones!"
After saying this, he looked at Song Gongwen again.
Song Gongwen's eyes felt a little sore, and he immediately bowed and said, "Student, thank you, teacher!"
"You don't have to thank me." Zhang Zhengming waved his hand and said, "Actually, I did this for the sake of the Great Wei Dynasty and for Your Majesty.

"Besides, I originally didn't want to see you today, but His Majesty told me this morning that you have talent and I need to interact with you more."

Song Gongwen lowered his head, and a deep feeling of emotion arose spontaneously.
The tears in my eyes finally couldn't be restrained any longer and burst out...
"Alright, alright. You're already in your forties, why are you crying?" Zhang Zhengming said, "Originally, I thought His Majesty promoted you out of nepotism, but I never imagined His Majesty had such a keen eye for talent that he found you."
"That's because of your Majesty's wisdom and bravery!" Song Gongwen said after calming down. In his heart, Wei Yunyi was a truly wise and benevolent monarch.
However, Zhang Zhengming sighed when he heard this and turned to look at the northern Yan area on the map behind him.
"Your Majesty is indeed wise and powerful at times, but it's a pity that you made the wrong decision to allow the Prince of Yan to return to his fiefdom."
