The Li brothers looked at each other and saw confusion in each other's eyes.

Chu You thought for a moment, then clenched his right fist, put it to his mouth and coughed lightly.

My father is really something. If you miss your child, just say it directly. Why does he have to say something incoherent and ambiguous?

Can Yaoyao understand?

He looked at the little guy in Li Wanjing's arms.

Chu Yaoyao, with her chubby little face, was slightly restrained, her chubby double chin became more and more obvious, and her expression was unusually solemn.

Seeing her expression, Chu You raised his eyebrows slightly, his eyes filled with anticipation.

Could it be that... Yaoyao had figured it out? However, the next moment, Chu Yaoyao touched her belly and smacked her lips twice.

"I want to eat baked sweet potatoes."

Chu You: ...

He shouldn't have thought too much! She couldn't eat the roasted sweet potatoes, not to mention it was late at night, and they were all afraid that she would get indigestion if she ate them.

She herself was feeling sleepy and fell asleep before even waiting for Ah Shi to carry her back to the room.

But she could sleep peacefully, as the others were discussing the Han family's affairs in the study and stayed up all night.

…

The next morning, in the capital city hundreds of miles away.

Outside the Tai'an Hall, as soon as the civil and military officials stepped out of the hall, they all raised their hands to wipe the cold sweat from their foreheads.

They looked at each other and smiled bitterly.

Your Majesty has been truly horrible these past few days.

An official suddenly called out, "Minister Wu!"

Hearing the voice, Wu Shangshu stopped and rolled his eyes secretly. He wanted to run away quickly. Who is so tactless? He couldn't help but complain in his heart. What a bad luck! Just now, the officials of the Ministry of Personnel were bribed, the test questions were leaked, and the autumn examination cheated. He is still busy and exhausted.

Just now in the court, His Majesty produced evidence and searched the homes of many officials in the Ministry of Personnel. In a short while, several people from the top to the bottom of the Ministry of Personnel were dragged out and beheaded!

He had been an official for more than 20 years, and he had never been so embarrassed as today! He finally waited until the court was dismissed and wanted to leave quickly, but now he was stopped again! In fact, what he didn't know was that it was not just the Ministry of Personnel, but also the Ministry of Revenue, where several people were pulled out just now.

Ninety-nine percent of the ministers in the court, regardless of whether they have problems themselves or not, have a tense mind.

Apart from……

Censor Zhou, who was keen on making death-defying remonstrations and would hug the pillar every other day.

There is also the old tutor Zhou, a veteran of three dynasties.

These two are quite calm.

Minister Wu tried hard to pull the corners of his mouth, put on a skilled fake smile, and turned to look at the minister.

"What advice do you have, Master Pan?"

Pan Lu, the president of the Hanlin Academy, took two steps forward.

"Nothing much, I just want to discuss with Minister Wu about what His Majesty just said about adding another test."

Hearing this, Minister Wu secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Just as he was about to speak, he caught a glimpse of Censor Zhou walking down the stairs slowly with square steps, and Old Tutor Zhou looking hurried.

Minister Wu hurried over and bowed slightly to the two of them.

"Meet the old master, meet Censor Zhou."

"My Lords, I was just about to discuss the matter your Majesty just mentioned with Scholar Pan. What do you think?"

Censor Zhou did not speak, but looked at Old Tutor Zhou.

Old Master Zhou waved his hand casually.

"You two may discuss this among yourselves. I have important matters to report to the Emperor."

After saying this, he hurried towards the imperial study with his crutches.

Many ministers stayed where they were, unable to stop wondering.

"It's rare to see the old master looking so hurried."

However, the appearance of Old Tutor Zhou made all the ministers temporarily forget their previous fear, and their extremely nervous mood eased a little.

They began to discuss in a low voice what important matter he was going to discuss with the Emperor.

On the other side, Censor Zhou and the other two gradually walked out of the palace while discussing in low voices.

Suddenly, Censor Zhou covered his mouth and yawned, looking tired. He bowed to the two of them with a little apology.

"I'm sorry, both of you. There are so many children at home these days, and they are making noises day and night. I am really very tired. I don't understand anything about the imperial examination. After you two have discussed it, just notify our Censorate directly, and we will definitely cooperate with you fully."

After saying that, he waved to the two of them and got into his carriage.

"Master Pan, aren't Censor Zhou's married sons all out of town? Why are they back in Beijing during the New Year holidays?"

Master Pan's old eyes flashed slightly, and then he patted his shoulder.

"Doesn't Lord Wu know that Old Tutor Zhou was the little princess's first teacher?"

Minister Wu nodded. This matter was explained publicly by the old tutor in the court, so how could he not know about it?

"What's the connection between the two?"

Master Pan came closer, speaking mysteriously, as if to say, "If we weren't so close, I would never tell you."

"The little princess is just a child under three years old. She loves to play. It's hard for her to find it boring to attend class alone. But it's different with a few classmates."

That's Master Zhou! Over the years, Master Zhou didn't easily accept disciples, but the students he taught were all very good, not to mention the late emperor and His Majesty, there's also the Emperor of Donglin.

The worst one was once the top scholar. Now he is only thirty years old, but he is already a sixth-rank official. He has a bright future!

If it weren’t for the fact that the ages of the grandchildren in my family don’t match, the older ones would already be in their twenties, and the younger ones would still be in their infancy.

I won't tell him these things, as it will only create more competitors for myself!

After hearing what he said, Minister Wu couldn't help but shouted out.

"Is this really true?!"

Such a big thing, and I just found out about it! He quickly bowed and said goodbye.

"Thank you for the reminder, Master Pan. I am not feeling well. Let's make an appointment another day!"

Looking at his hurried back, Master Pan stroked his beard and smiled wickedly.

What he couldn't get, no one else could get easily! Then, he continued to look among the crowd, and suddenly, his sights fixed on the last minister.

This person had been away on business for several months and had just returned to Beijing. It seemed that he was unaware of the situation?

Guessing this, he cleared his throat and strode forward, "Master Wang, please stay!"

…

In the imperial study, corrupt officials were punished and the national treasury had a large amount of income. Emperor Qixuan's mood finally improved a little.

He decided to play the game console for a quarter of an hour to celebrate! The previous game console had a black screen, and Yaoyao said it was out of battery, so he sent a few more.

Soon, a series of cheerful ding-dong sounds were heard in the imperial study.

Suddenly, Su Maowen outside the door shouted.

"Old Master, why are you here?"

Hearing this voice, Emperor Qixuan quickly pressed the pause button, put the game console on his lap, and opened the memorial seriously.

"Is your majesty in there?"

As he asked, Old Master Zhou pushed the door open and left.

"Your Majesty."

Emperor Qixuan put down the memorial and asked, "Taifu, is there anything important?"

Old Master Zhou knocked the ground heavily with his cane.

"May I ask, Your Majesty, when will my disciple return to the capital?"

Emperor Qixuan was also very depressed when talking about this matter.

I want to know, too.

"I have already asked Li Wanjing to bring the oral instructions. I don't think it will take too long."

Old Master Zhou puffed his nostrils slightly and exhaled heavily.

"My wife's health has improved these days. I would like to take her to travel south with me. Please grant me permission, Your Majesty."

"You're leaving Beijing?!"

Emperor Qixuan stood up suddenly, "No!"

When he stood up, the game console on his knees fell to the ground with a thud.

His eyebrows jumped suddenly, and he was about to run to the desk to pick it up, but he didn't expect that Old Tutor Zhou had picked it up before him.

"What is this?"

Emperor Qixuan held his forehead helplessly.

broken!
