Shen Zicong burst into tears of joy, was he finally free?
The two unscrupulous emperors threw everything at him, regardless of whether his 'weak' shoulders could bear it.
What makes him feel most depressed is that his fiancée lives in his home, but he is too busy to have a romantic relationship and has no time to spend the month and night.
If this continues, it will be strange if Murong Mingyue is willing to marry him next year!!!
Like Murong Mingyue, Shen Zicong felt a sense of relief and was extremely excited when he heard the news that Situ Liuyun and Situ Liufeng were back.
Quickly running into the imperial study room of the palace, Shen Zicong said sincerely:
"We sincerely welcome the Emperor back to the palace."
Situ Liuyun and Situ Liufeng had indeed returned to the royal study at this time, but they had no intention of starting work yet. They said to Shen Zicong casually:
"Plain body."
"Your Majesty, Wei Chen... Wei Chen..."
Situ Liuyun raised his eyebrows:
"kindness?"
Shen Zicong gritted his teeth:
"Wei Chen wants to take a few days off!!!"
Situ Liufeng rested his chin on his hand and looked at him with interest:
"Why?"
"A few days ago, an imperial doctor said that Wei Chen was overworked and asked Wei Chen to have a good rest..."
Of course this is false...
However, in order to have some leisure time, he did go to an imperial physician and ask for such a confession.
Situ Liufeng caressed his chin, and slightly narrowed his shining phoenix eyes:
"That's it..."
He and Situ Liuyun looked at each other, and seeing that his eldest brother had no intention of speaking, he cleared his throat and said:
"Shen Qing, the scientific examination will start in two days. I wonder who the invigilator you have chosen is?"
Shen Zicong bowed his hands and said:
"It's Mr. Cui, the Minister of War."
Situ Liufeng nodded:
"During this period, Shen Qing has taken good care of Feng Xiang... but she is so exhausted... Shen Qing is not allowed to rest. It seems a bit unreasonable."
Shen Zicong nodded vigorously upon hearing this.
Right, right, that's the truth.
Situ Liufeng then spoke:
"Then - let Shen Qing take five days off until the scientific examination is over..."
Shen Zicong slumped down instantly. It had only been five days. He was really a stingy emperor.
However, it was better than nothing. Anyway, from the time he planned for them to become emperors, he knew that he would have to work for these two unscrupulous emperors for the rest of his life, so he had no choice but to accept it for the time being.
"But... Shen Qing... I have an important matter here. I don't know who to leave it to. Could Shen Qing give me some advice?"
When Shen Zicong heard this, his body froze instantly. Why did he have a bad feeling... He had already been given a holiday. What important matter did it have to do with him?
Although he thought so in his heart, Shen Zicong, as a human minister, still tried hard to maintain a gentle smile on his face:
"Your Majesty, please speak."
"When selecting talents, the imperial court cannot only focus on talent. It must be a person with both ability and political integrity in order to benefit the people... Shen Qing, do you think I am right?"
Situ Liuyun smiled charmingly and looked at Shen Zicong casually.
The smile on Shen Zicong's face was trembling:
"Yes...the emperor is absolutely right."
"As for talent, as soon as the scientific examination is over, I will naturally see it on the examination paper... There is a little trouble with the virtue aspect."
Shen Zicong began to grind his teeth:
"What does the Emperor mean?"
"I would like to send someone to observe the moral conduct of those candidates who are famous for their talents during the exam days."
Shen Zicong nodded:
"From what I see, it would be best to leave this matter to the Minister of Rites."
Situ Liufeng shook his head:
"No, no, no, the Minister of Rites is already old and has some old-fashioned ideas. I'm afraid that he doesn't see the truth clearly. Doesn't Shen Qing have any other candidates?"
Shen Zicong was deeply depressed. Could it be that the emperor wanted him to go???
But, didn’t they give him a holiday???
Seeing that Shen Zicong didn't answer, Situ Liufeng didn't care and continued:
"I have a good candidate here. What do you think, Qing Shen?"
"who?"
Situ Liufeng continued to smile, without saying the person's name, but just raised his eyebrows and said:
"That person is knowledgeable, gentle, and very fair. Most importantly, I trust her. For some special reasons, I didn't want her to go... But later, my queen said that person was completely If you are worthy of this responsibility, I feel good about it... What do you think, Shen Qing?"
Shen Zicong frowned.
It's not that he is narcissistic, he really thought the emperor was talking about him.
However, if it was really him, the Emperor probably didn't 'originally' want him to go...then it would be someone else.
But who is it that the emperor praises so much?
Shen Zicong thought for a long time and couldn't figure it out, so he didn't think about it anymore - forget it, it doesn't matter who it is, as long as it's not him.
"Wei Chen thinks it's very good. If that person is as good as the emperor said, he is really suitable."
Situ Liufeng instantly clapped his hands and said:
"Okay, in that case, let's leave this matter to Mingyue."
"Ming...Mingyue?"
Shen Zicong felt for a moment that he seemed to be hearing hallucinations.
"yes."
Situ Liufeng said with a smile:
"I plan to leave this matter to my sister Murong Mingyue."
Shen Zicong instantly turned green.
Who doesn’t know that all the people participating in the scientific examination are men, but Situ Liufeng actually let a beauty like Murong Mingyue go to a crowd of men to get to know men...
He, he, he... What is Situ Liufeng’s intention???
"Ming Yue is a woman, Your Majesty, she is not suitable."
"I know. I once told the queen about this issue. The queen said that women can hold up half the sky, which means that Yue's intelligence is difficult for many men to compare with... I deeply agree."
Shen Zicong sighed, what kind of emperor or queen is this?
He appointed:
"Your Majesty, it's better to leave it to the ministers at this time. Mingyue is a princess, how can she contact those people in the market?"
Situ Liufeng shook his head:
"No, no, those candidates are all people who have read poetry and books. It would be a good thing for Mingyue to have more contact with them, and Shen Qing needs to rest, so at this time, let Mingyue go..."
Situ Liufeng secretly laughed in his heart and assigned the matter to Murong Mingyue. Shen Zicong would definitely be worried that his fiancée would accompany Murong Mingyue when she went to a group of men. When the time comes... this job would still be Shen Zicong's.
The only difference is that Shen Zicong, who was on leave, picked it up himself. They didn't give it to him. They gave him the holiday. They are good kings who are considerate of their subordinates...
