I shook my head, raised my hand to hold his hand that was holding my face, and subconsciously said, "Your Majesty is too modest. If it were just an exchange of interests, Your Majesty would not have to spend so much effort."
Suddenly, scattered fragments of memories floated into his mind. It was Song Heng marking the essays of the examinees while coughing. At that time, a serious case of shielding and bribery was exposed in the local area.
"Those who are only interested in profit will find the easiest and most convenient way to maximize their own benefits; while those who have justice in their hearts will try their best to come up with a foolproof plan, even at the cost of sacrificing some of their own interests."
If the goal was just to seek profit and balance, Song Heng could easily maintain the current balance by turning a blind eye.
Officials are not brainless. Those sent up may be mediocre, but there will definitely be some people with real talent and knowledge to cover up. And these people with some ability and those who have already been employed should be able to meet the current position requirements.
The reason for saying this is that it took time for such a large sheltering environment to form, and the fact that this situation could continue for many years under the leadership of the previous emperor shows that it has its vitality and stability.

I subconsciously touched his hand, wondering if I had done my bit for him during that time. "Your Majesty has succeeded today, and I am happy for you."
For the sincerity and greater justice in our hearts, to fight for a chance for those struggling at the bottom, and to move forward steadily for the future of Song Huaguo.
No matter which one, Song Heng did it, didn't he?
"Shuang'er..." He lowered his head and stared at me, with light flowing in his eyes.
After a long pause, he said, "I asked the wrong question earlier."
"Um?"
"It is I who am willing to be your light and guide you."
