Judging from the current situation, Su Wenqing has no ill intentions towards her, and Su Yizhao plans to wait.
The next day, Su Yizhao went to the Hanlin Academy to order mao as usual.
"Master Su, the Emperor has summoned you!" A reviewer came in and reported to Su Yizhao.
Su Yizhao was a little surprised. Why are you looking for her now? There have been no major events between the DPRK and China in recent days. Even the merchant ships have gone to sea.
The person who came to deliver the message was a young chamberlain, who was Xu Luo's godson.
"Eunuch Lian." Su Yizhao nodded towards him.
"Master Su! Your Majesty ordered us to send a message. Please go to the Imperial Study Room now."
Su Yizhao motioned to him to lead the way, and the two chatted for a few words on the way to the imperial study.
I haven't heard any news from Eunuch Lien. Could it be some secret matter?
Just after the morning court, some officials handed the sign to the imperial study room to discuss matters.
Seeing Su Yizhao coming, everyone was not surprised.
Although Su Yizhao was of low rank, he was deeply attached to the Holy Spirit and the Emperor often summoned him.
"Your Majesty Su Yizhao respectfully wishes His Majesty's blessing!"
When Su Yizhao arrived at the imperial study, he unexpectedly discovered that Li Zhenwei, the Minister of War, was also there.
"Ping Shen!" The emperor waved his hand and motioned for Su Yizhao to stand aside.
"Li Aiqing, be prepared! Follow the previous arrangements and formulate a charter as soon as possible." The emperor pointed at Li Zhenwei.
Li Zhenwei immediately agreed, and then said: "I retire!"
After Li Zhenwei left, the emperor said to Su Yizhao: "Recently, the court has been discussing border issues. For some reason, the vassal states have been moving frequently. I am afraid that a war is coming."
Su Yizhao sighed, "Spring has begun now, when the grass grows and the orioles fly. They are not short of food. Does your Majesty think they will take action now?"
"The old khan of this vassal died of illness at the end of last year, and now a new khan has taken over, named Chartu. This man is very competitive, and he must be capable if he can stand out from several princes. I heard that this man is very addicted to
Bloody and cruel, yet brave and resourceful."
The emperor frowned and continued: "When the new Khan takes the throne, he will have to make some achievements immediately to establish his prestige."
Su Yizhao nodded, indeed!
"For this martial arts competition, I plan to appoint you as the chief examiner to select talented people for the imperial court."
Su Yizhao was very surprised. The martial arts examination was the day after tomorrow. She couldn't help but be a little confused. The original examiner was He Run, the lecturer of the Hanlin Academy.
Speaking of which, He Run was still one of her fellow examiners in the provincial examination. Now they have become colleagues, but now he is her superior.
"Isn't this? Isn't the examiner a lecturer for Mr. He?" Su Yizhao didn't understand what the emperor meant, so what should He Run do?
"I have already made a decision on this matter. He Run wants to compile the history of the country and has no time."
Su Yizhao was speechless. Are you sure this isn't helping her to attract hatred? If she really didn't have time, she wouldn't have participated when the martial arts examiners were selected!
Now that someone is unavailable, doesn't this mean that she is asking him to come down and take her place? She shouldn't let the other party poke fun at him secretly?
This will be recorded in the official performance evaluation, which will be very helpful for future upgrades.
"But I plan to take part in next year's college examination and have already registered!"
Originally, she wanted to take part in the next year's college exam, but the court stipulated that she was not allowed to take the exams consecutively. After all, the number of places was limited.
Who wouldn’t want to go to such a good thing? If you participate more, your official career will be prosperous!
"You took part in next year's exam yourself. You were not appointed by me personally. It has nothing to do with this matter."
The emperor's words made Su Yizhao feel happy and he understood immediately.
"I obey the decree!" She really didn't want to refuse such a good thing.
Isn't this just like pie falling from the sky? Others would even envy me!
"I have already given instructions to the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of War. You go and prepare. Leave the errands in hand to others for the next few days."
It just so happens that the Minister of Rites is Su Jinxun, and the Ministry of Rites is working on this matter these days.
After he returned home, he would also ask Su Yizhao to go to the study to discuss matters, so Su Yizhao also knew a lot about some matters related to martial arts.
As soon as Su Yizhao returned to the Hanlin Academy, Zhang He immediately sent someone to invite her to the classroom.
"The Emperor has sent someone to inform you that from today on, your errands will be handed over to others."
Zhang He has always been very kind to her, firstly because of his in-law relationship, and secondly because Su Yizhao was valued by the emperor.
"Then I'm bothering you, sir. If you can finish it early, you don't have to bother other colleagues."
Su Yizhao's attitude was still very humble, and Zhang He was very satisfied with her.
"Hey, you have so many errands, how can you finish them all? You won't come to the Hanlin Academy tomorrow. Go to the Ministry of Etiquette to familiarize yourself with the venue and interact with the officials there."
Is this a disguised form of giving her a day off? There really is someone in the court who is easy to be an official.
"I wonder which of your colleagues you plan to let do it yourself? I'd like to apologize to you." Su Yizhao asked with a smile.
"Oh! Only Mr. He is free now, so you will leave your errands to him for the time being."
Emma! It’s over, I’ve completely offended people.
He stole other people's jobs and asked them to do the work for him.
Not to mention He Run, Su Yizhao himself felt that He Run had become a pitiful little person who was bullied in the workplace.
Alas! Fortunately, there was someone in her court.
But will she go later or not? Why does it feel like she is showing off in front of others?
If you don't go, you'll have to confess to others, so it's hard to break your promise!
"The martial arts examination is the day after tomorrow, and you must not have any free time. Go and get those files and the compiled national history. I happen to have some errands that I have to explain to him face to face."
Su Yizhao immediately thanked him, "Then I'll bother you, sir!"
This is to avoid the embarrassment of the two of them standing together, which is good! Even this has been considered for her.
Su Yizhao thanked her again and was about to leave, but Zhang He said: "Your second uncle and second aunt have been working as officials outside. You have never been to the Zhang family when you were growing up. In the future, you will go to play when you have free time. They are all your in-laws."
During the Chinese New Year, the gifts given by the Su family were particularly valuable, much more than in previous years.
He understood that this was to support Su Yizhao, because he was Su Yizhao's best.
The old man of the Su family has made it very clear that he is very fond of this junior.
According to him, if there is a junior like this in his family, regardless of whether he is a concubine or not, shouldn't he be treated like a treasure?
What's more, although Su Yizhao is capable, he knows etiquette and is very humble in front of his elders.
Every year during the holidays, I prepare another gift, which is very comprehensive.
"I've always wanted to go to your house and make trouble for you. I'm going to be a lower-ranking official in the future. Don't be dissatisfied."
The two exchanged a few more polite words before Zhang He let her go.
Unexpectedly, as soon as she left the class room, she bumped into He Run walking towards her.
The sight was a little awkward, so Su Yizhao immediately put his mind at ease and stepped forward to salute.
"I have met Mr. He!"
He Run's face darkened, and he was about to say something sarcastic, but then he thought of the emperor and Zhang He, so he could only swallow his anger.
