Chapter 361 Was it planned?
While Mu Chengyan was preoccupied with his worries, Yun Zhao went to court as usual.
By the way, Xie Jingmo was also dragged along.
Xie Jingmo's hand was injured, and there were many people spying outside, so he had not attended court for many days.
He was lazy himself, so it would be better if he didn't go.
But today, Yun Zhao dragged him to court.
Xie Jingmo didn't understand. The little emperor was about to die. Most of the people in the court had gone outside the emperor's bedroom. The people who attended the court that day were all people who had no party. Why did Yun Zhao insist on attending the court?
Yun Zhao smiled and said, "Isn't time running out? Why won't you allow me to satisfy my empress dowager desires?"
Since Yun Zhao said so, Xie Jingmo must make Yun Zhao feel happy.
When he knelt down in court, he was very serious.
Yun Zhao smiled and glanced at the people standing in groups of three or four in the hall.
Gave Fu Hai a wink.
Fu Hai took out a pen and paper and wrote down the people who were still in court today.
Yun Zhao sat at the top and said majestically, "Although not all of us are here today, the Spring Examination is approaching and the selection of talents cannot be delayed. I will personally serve as the chief examiner, with Xie Jingmo as my assistant, and the remaining gentlemen as supervisors. I hope that you will all work together to select outstanding talents for our dynasty."
As soon as these words were spoken.
Everyone standing down was stunned.
Several adults murmured, "The Spring Examination is still being held now?"
"This... Your Majesty is not..."
"Open now, anyone want to take the exam?"
"I don't think so. If the emperor really does... then the new emperor will definitely hold an imperial examination. Those who were selected previously will definitely be eliminated. Wouldn't that mean the exams were in vain? Candidates shouldn't waste their spots."
Several people looked at each other and nodded.
Yun Zhao took the opportunity to give Xie Jingmo a look.
Xie Jingmo pointed at himself?
Yun Zhao raised his chin.
Xie Jingmo coughed lightly twice and said to the adults, "What are you talking about? The emperor is not dead yet, is he? As long as the emperor is alive, we must stand guard for him every day. No one is allowed to slack off! If you think this is futile, you can withdraw and go to guard the emperor's door. If the emperor recovers in the future, I will sue you for dereliction of duty!"
Xie Jingmo was raised as a prince since he was a child.
There is still some dignity and style.
As soon as Xie Jingmo said this, several people knelt on the ground, "Your Majesty, you dare not."
Yun Zhao nodded calmly, "Alright, then it's settled. Court dismissed!"
In just half a quarter of an hour, the team of supervisors for the Spring Examination had been assembled.
Several adults walked out with frowns on their faces.
"Isn't this nonsense?"
"Yes, if the emperor really passes away, these candidates will have a mentor now, and it will be difficult for them to become disciples of other masters in the future."
"That's right. If the new emperor were to ascend the throne, the empress dowager would definitely not show any mercy. Why would she recruit students for the Spring Examination? These students will not be able to become her future arms, will they?"
Several people shook their heads.
Mu Chengyan realized something was wrong and when he rushed to the Golden Palace, it was deserted and there was no one inside.
As he walked out, he heard what the adults were talking about, and his face suddenly became gloomy.
What on earth is Yun Zhao planning to do?!
Moreover, if the Spring Examination really is to be held.
Wouldn't it be more appropriate to let him be the chief examiner?
Xie Jingmo's hand is now disabled, why did Yun Zhao ask Xie Jingmo to be the examiner?
What exactly is Yun Zhao planning?
Mu Chengyan really couldn't think of anything, so he pulled a eunuch and asked about the little emperor's situation.
The eunuch said, "Ah? Prince Regent, don't you know? Doctor Li and his men worked together to save the emperor. Now the adults kneeling at the door have all gone back."
That moment.
Mu Chengyan stood in the setting sun.
There was a vague feeling of being plotted against.
He frowned and walked towards the Cining Palace.
Yun Zhao was eating and everyone in the room was picking up food. When they saw Mu Chengyan coming, Fu Hai and Deputy General Gao stood up, and Xie Jingmo picked up a piece of food for Yun Zhao with his chopsticks.
Yun Zhao was a little depressed.
Mu Chengyan always comes when it’s time for dinner. Today, the beggar’s chicken made by Xie Jingmo is delicious. She reluctantly put down her chopsticks and said to Mu Chengyan, “Let’s talk outside.” No one can eat well when Mu Chengyan is around.
Mu Chengyan noticed Yun Zhao's emotions.
As they walked out, they couldn't help but say, "I've said it many times, there's a difference between master and servant. Yun Zhao, you've already given them status and position. Deputy General Gao is now the commander of the Imperial Guards, and Fu Hai is now the chief steward of the Imperial Palace. With their originally poor status, if they hadn't met you, they would never have been able to climb to such high positions in their entire lives. And you let them act so recklessly, you're too indulgent of them, don't you understand?"
Mu Chengyan had indeed said these words many times.
Before Yun Zhao, no one was willing to refute.
Today, I am annoyed.
She raised her eyelids coldly and asked, "So, in the eyes of the Regent, the poor can't live a good life and are unworthy of the high positions in the eyes of you born rich, right?"
Mu Chengyan pursed his lips, "That's not what I meant."
"Then let's discuss this today," Yun Zhao said calmly while drinking tea. "You said there's a difference between the empress dowager and the minister. I'm the empress dowager, and you're the minister. Are you trying to teach me a lesson with the tone you're using now?"
Mu Chengyan: "That's not what I meant."
"You said they were poor and unworthy of their current positions? I was also born poor. Do you also feel deep down that I'm not worthy of this position?"
"Mu Chengyan, what you say is what you think in your heart, right?"
"In fact, in your heart, I am no different from them, right?"
Mu Chengyan immediately opened his mouth to explain, "Yun Zhao, you misunderstood me. I didn't mean that. I just felt that it wasn't logical. I was just reminding you out of good intentions. I hope you don't misinterpret me like that."
Yun Zhao, however, spoke first, "Mu Chengyan, you keep talking about respect for the inferior, but if you really had this in your heart, you never told me every time you came to me. So, you are just taking advantage of my forgiveness and taking advantage of yourself, but you think others shouldn't do the same. You are so overbearing."
Mu Chengyan frowned.
Yun Zhao said, "I know what you're talking about. I've already decided on the Spring Examination, so there's no need to discuss it. The Regent is so noble, I won't keep you for dinner. Bye."
Mu Chengyan watched Yun Zhao stand up.
Mu Chengyan grabbed her arm and said, "Yun Zhao, you know, everything I do, everything, is for your own good. Why do you always misinterpret me?"
Yun Zhao took Mu Chengyan's hand and said seriously, "I said a long time ago that we are not on the same path. Mu Chengyan, you should understand that I am not joking."
After Yun Zhao finished speaking, he walked away.
Mu Chengyan stood there, watching Yun Zhao's leaving back, and was silent for a long time.
Yun Zhao.
Why, you just don’t understand my heart?
