"Of course, we should let Long Musi and Song Yu come over to discuss this. Don't they both want to gain some benefits during the imperial examination? Then shouldn't we let them do some work?" Xu Tianze threw the remaining half piece of cake into his mouth with a sly smile on his face.
As soon as the Second Prince heard this, he knew what evil plan Xu Tianze was up to and broke out in a cold sweat. Fortunately, he no longer needed to gain benefits from the imperial examination.
Otherwise, given Xu Tianze's unscrupulous nature, he would definitely cheat him out of a lot of money. However, when the second prince thought of Song Yu and Long Musi being cheated, he felt relieved.
Xu Tianze was interrupted several times and had no more ideas. With the handsome man in his arms, he really had no other thoughts. So he pulled the second prince and started to think about how to trick Long Musi and the other two.
This research was carried out all night long. Finally, at dawn, the second prince could no longer hold on and fell asleep.
"Aze, what's the matter that you called us here?" Song Yu looked at Xu Tianze with a complicated expression.
I just left the Second Prince's Mansion yesterday, and today I was called to meet the Eldest Princess' Mansion. Although I had some guesses in my mind, I still felt a little nervous.
"Wait a moment, everyone is not here yet." Xu Tianze looked around and frowned when he heard Song Yu's words.
He posted the message yesterday, and seeing that no one showed up today, he sent someone to invite him directly, and also explained the purpose of the invitation. Logically speaking, Long Musi should have come no matter what.
After all, interests and power are what Long Musi really cares about.
"Aze is right. How can we start right away when I haven't even arrived yet?" Long Musi's hearty laughter came from outside the door.
"Hmph, you've just been crowned king, and already you're putting on airs." Upon seeing this, the eldest princess gave her cheap nephew a cold look.
He is so impatient that people who don't know him would think he has already sat on the throne. He is really hopeless.
When Long Musi came in and saw the eldest princess sitting at the head of the table, his neck shrank, and the smug look on his face disappeared in an instant. He raised his hand and saluted the eldest princess.
"Aunt is well."
"Please find a seat by yourself." The eldest princess glanced at Long Musi indifferently, and then said no more.
Long Musi looked at Xu Tianze and the second prince sitting on his left, then turned to look at Song Yu sitting on his right, and finally sat down next to Song Yu with a bitter face.
"What? Do you think it's unfair for you to sit below me?" The eldest princess felt unhappy when she saw the aggrieved expression on Long Muse's face.
On the left, Ze'er came in and sat down below him, and on the right, Song Yu came in and sat one seat away from him. Now that Long Musi had arrived, the first thing he did was to find another seat.
After seeing this comparison, the eldest princess was dissatisfied with Long Musi in every way and wanted to kick him directly.
"Aunt, what are you talking about? Your nephew cannot show enough respect to you." Long Musi smiled ingratiatingly to hide his embarrassment.
Originally, when Aze called him, he planned to come directly, but when he heard that it was the Princess's Mansion, he didn't want to come over, but what Aze said was beneficial to him.
He came here reluctantly, but he didn't expect that he was criticized twice by the eldest princess not long after he came in. If he had known this, he would still come.
Just as Long Musi was sighing helplessly in his heart, Xu Tianze had had enough of the show and started talking about business.
"We all know each other already, so I won't beat around the bush. I asked everyone to come to Aunt Qingyi because of the upcoming imperial examination." Xu Tianze played with the jade pendant on his waist and spoke very seriously.
When Xu Tianze spoke, the eldest princess and others also looked over. After all, they also knew the news that Eunuch Quan came to their house yesterday.
I think it is because of Emperor Gan's concern for the imperial examination. Since the imperial edict came down until now, Xu Tianze has not taken any action. If he does not respond now, he will probably be impeached.
"When the imperial examination is over, it will be a time for a major reshuffle in the court. You will have to put in as much effort as you want." Xu Tianze did not keep anyone in suspense and spoke directly.
He also directly revealed a piece of news to everyone, that is, during the imperial examination, he would directly take action against some people. When the court vacancies occurred, how to fill them would be the business of a few of them.
"Aze, now that things have come to this, why not just tell us the truth directly?" Long Musi gently waved his fan, with calculations flashing in his eyes.
If he knew exactly which vacancies were vacant, he could then calculate which talents to recruit and which people to push to the stage.
Although Song Yu didn't say anything, he stared at Xu Tianze, naturally wanting to know what the specific vacancies were.
The eldest princess yawned out of boredom, her eyes swept downwards and left and right, the corners of her mouth curled up.
One of them had calculations in his eyes, one pretended to be stupid, one only had one person in his eyes, but the last one had a calm face, as if everything was under control.
"If we directly mention the specific vacancies, there will definitely be some trouble." Xu Tianze shook his head. He just wanted to bring down a group of people, but he didn't want to decide anyone's life or death directly.
If the person is innocent, he naturally would not think of bringing him down directly. In this case, except for a few big names who have been killed, the others are incidental and uncertain.
How could he directly give the list of names to everyone present? Then it would really not be what he said.
"Ze'er, you need to know that no matter how good your ideas are, without restraint, they will be in vain when the time comes." Seeing that Xu Tianze had made a misunderstanding, the eldest princess started to criticize him directly.
If there was no list of people, Xu Tianze might directly say which people to remove and vacate some official positions, but Long Musi and Song Yu could also do so.
Anyway, there is no list of names. If they set their sights on a certain position, they can simply accuse the person of a few crimes and then pull him down and replace him with their own forces.
Xu Tianze naturally knew what the eldest princess meant. He smiled and nodded at the eldest princess, indicating that the eldest princess did not need to worry too much.
"I want the imperial examination to be fair this time. You two can just follow and act as promoters. Not only will you gain talents, but you can also build your reputation directly." Xu Tianze's voice was flat, but there was a hint of temptation in his words.
"Aze, you should know how many people will be offended by the so-called fairness of the imperial examination, and it will not be comparable to the interests in the end." Song Yu's face changed immediately. If it was other matters, he might still be able to help, but he would make enemies with the powerful people in the entire Shangjing City.
He wouldn't even consider it. After all, he had just taken office and his foundation was not stable. If he made trouble, he would only ruin his future.
"Song Yu, you really are still the same." Xu Tianze heard Song Yu's words, his eyes constantly changing light and dark. "When the Xu family was slaughtered, you also thought about it this way, right?"
