"What were you two talking about? You stopped talking as soon as you saw me coming?" The wise king looked at the two of them hesitantly.
He always felt that the two men had just said something offensive to him. When he helped Aze get into the carriage, the two men's eyes were always glued to him.
In the past, these gazes were always focused on Aze. Even if they occasionally glanced at him, the wise king could sense the displeasure in the two people's eyes, no matter how subtle it was.
But not to mention that the gaze just now was fixed on him, without even a trace of dissatisfaction.
"My royal brother, why are you here instead of getting on the carriage?" Long Musi did not respond and chose to change the subject.
Seeing that Xu Tianze and the eldest princess had already boarded the carriage, the two of them also planned to board their own carriage.
"It's about Aze." There was worry in the wise king's eyes, and his face looked much more sincere.
"Don't worry, I won't say anything more." After saying this, Long Musi turned around and got on the carriage.
Song Yu was a little dazed when he saw the pleading look on the wise king's face, and was stunned when he heard Long Musi's answer without hesitation.
"Duke of the State?"
"Your Highness, I am not a talkative person. Besides, I also hope that Xiaoze can live a long life." Song Yu came back to his senses and expressed his attitude with a smile.
"Thank you very much." The wise king nodded and turned to walk towards his own carriage.
Song Yu stood there and looked at the back of the virtuous king, then looked at the carriage of the Jingwang Mansion with the curtains lowered. For a moment, he felt that the person in front of him was somewhat familiar and somewhat strange.
He suddenly remembered the second prince when he first met him. He had always been sinister and calculating, and he played everyone around. It was precisely because of the second prince's excellent politics and the lack of any leverage that he became one of the powerful heirs to the throne.
Song Yu still remembers the Second Prince's words when he was in the Imperial College: "I will use any means to get what I want, but asking for help is the only way."
The Second Prince seemed to have been fulfilling his original bold words all along. Song Yu had never heard of the Second Prince begging for anything, but he didn't expect to see it today in the Second Prince who had become a virtuous king.
That's why Song Yu was so shocked that he was a little dazed and even couldn't tell the difference between reality and illusion. But Long Musi's words shocked Song Yu even more, and he even felt like he had recognized the wrong person.
If the virtuous king has always been the representative of sinister and calculating, then King Jing, Long Musi, is the ambitious man who bides his time and is also a ruthless person.
Considering Ozawa's situation and the secret method that was discovered, if they were put into practice, Long Musi would get much more than what has been divided up now. It would not even be an exaggeration to say that he could directly squeeze the crown prince out.
But Long Musi actually gave up directly and did not choose to take advantage of it, without any hesitation.
"Dai Nian, what do you think is the charm of Xiaoze?" When Song Yu saw Dai Nian coming forward, he asked directly what was in his heart.
"I don't know. I just felt sincerity from Lord Xu." Dai Nian looked at Song Yu fiercely when he heard what Song Yu said, then buried his head in thought before tentatively expressing his thoughts.
"Probably." Song Yu shook his head and got on his carriage.
He didn't blame Dai Nian for not telling the truth, because he didn't believe the real reason. The Xiaoze he knew might also know how to use emotions.
But no matter what, if he can make a proud man who makes a living by scheming and scheming restrain his edge and be sincere; if he can make an ambitious and unscrupulous careerist give up his interests, Xu Tianze is no longer the same Xiaoze.
What he discovered, those two might have discovered long ago, but they were just of the same generation as him.
Emperor Gan has been living a very leisurely life in his own Shangshufang these days. He is not worried about the imperial examination at all. As for the officials who came to pay him a visit, he simply had them send them away.
"My dear companion, what do you think of my calligraphy?" Emperor Gan put down the brush, looked left and right, and was indescribably satisfied.
"It is said that handwriting reflects the character of the writer. Your Majesty's handwriting truly exudes majesty." Eunuch Quan leaned forward, took a look, and then began his daily work.
If he hadn't started praising without even looking at the beginning, and was discovered and kicked a few times by Emperor Gan, he would not have planned to move forward.
Just that handwriting, that is, he can tell lies. You should know that at the beginning, the late emperor was so angry about Emperor Gan's bad handwriting that he couldn't eat for several days.
There was even a time when he would force Emperor Gan to practice calligraphy whenever he saw him for a year or two. However, Emperor Gan was very restless when he was young and found practicing calligraphy extremely painful. In the end, he would run away whenever he saw the late emperor for several months.
The late emperor really had no other choice but to give up on letting Emperor Gan practice calligraphy.
Now that he is old, he has started to tinker with his poor handwriting. Although he has been reviewing memorials all these years, sometimes when Emperor Gan is in the mood, he will copy the handwriting of his ministers.
Only then did his handwriting become much more attractive, but it was still incomparable to real calligraphy. However, Eunuch Quan couldn't say it directly, so he had to lie with his eyes open.
"I think it's a good idea." Emperor Gan held up the letter and nodded with a smile.
"Your Majesty, do you have something so good?" Xu Tianze stepped in immediately, followed by Long Musi and others.
As soon as Emperor Gan heard Xu Tianze's voice, he quickly folded the letter and covered it with the memorial. This family member knew his own business. If Xu Tianze saw it, he would not praise him like his elder companion.
"You kid, why are you bringing people to my study when you are not busy with the imperial examination outside the palace now?" Emperor Gan coughed dryly a few times, and when he turned around, he saw his sons. He glanced at them before looking at Xu Tianze.
Not only was this person all there, but he also went straight into his Shangshufang. Emperor Gan had a bad feeling in his heart, thinking that his leisure days were coming to an end.
"The kid has been in a coma for three days and three nights, but Your Majesty doesn't seem to be in a hurry at all." Xu Tianze looked up at the paper that Emperor Gan had just pressed down, then answered Emperor Gan's question with a smile.
He didn't believe that Emperor Gan knew nothing about his coma. Even the nobles outside the palace had directly changed the list. Emperor Gan was indeed not in a hurry at all.
This made Xu Tianze feel a little weird, and he even didn't quite understand what Emperor Gan wanted to do. If he wasn't sure that Emperor Gan was not senile, he would have thought that Emperor Gan was planning to destroy the country.
He didn't even pay much attention to things like selecting talents, as if anything could go wrong.
"Your Majesty, could it be that the imperial examination itself is a setup and it won't follow the old system at all?" Xu Tianze rolled his eyes and began to test Emperor Gan.
