Xu Changqing's words stunned Xu Junlou for a moment, and he quickly asked: "Uncle, why is this?"
Xu Changqing glanced at Xu Junlou and sighed: "Now the conflict between the cabinet and the East Palace has almost been made clear. If my predictions are correct, there will be a huge change in the DPRK soon."
"In this great change, there can only be one winner. Do you think it is a good thing or a bad thing for you to participate in this situation?"
When Xu Junlou heard this, he immediately said: "Han Chuang has studied hard for more than ten years in order to put on the black gauze hat, realize his ideals and ambitions, and benefit the land and water. How can he back down because of these struggles for power and profit? Besides, I will not participate in those things.
That’s it, just do your own thing well and no one will come to deal with me as a small role player, right?”
Xu Changqing glared at Xu Junlou and scolded, "Childish!"
"The situation in the DPRK and China has been changing rapidly. This year's scientific examination has been labeled as the East Palace from the beginning because of the prince's intervention."
"Political struggle is party struggle. Since it is party struggle, it is natural to eradicate the root causes."
"If the East Palace is defeated in this great change, and you, my uncle and my nephew all end badly, do you think you can stay out of it by not hearing what is happening outside the window? It is too simple to think."
Xu Changqing's words made Xu Junlou's expression look a little ugly.
He asked in a low voice: "Uncle, what should we do now?"
Xu Changqing sighed: "Since I didn't stop you before, it means I have acquiesced. I have also figured out, what will happen if you don't participate in this scientific examination? You can't escape it."
"If the East Palace fails, I will definitely lose my official position and then my life, and as my nephew, how can you survive alone."
"And if the East Palace wins and you take part in the palace examination this time and get a good ranking, then when His Highness the Crown Prince ascends the throne in the future, you will be regarded as a hero who joined the new monarch when he was in the Crown Prince's residence. This will make your future
The road is much easier to walk.”
"So since the worst outcome is the same, and the good outcome can be better, we naturally have to choose the best option."
After Xu Junlou listened carefully, he bowed respectfully and said, "My uncle has thought deeply, and my nephew admires it."
Xu Changqing waved his hand and said: "The Xu family has been passed down to your generation, but the population has withered. Your father and I are two brothers, and your father died in an accident. Although you and I are called uncles and nephews, I have no heirs, so
I have always raised you as my own son, but when the Xu family came to your place, you were already the only child."
"So there is no need to be too polite between you and me. As long as I have it, I will help you."
These words moved Xu Junlou extremely.
He solemnly said: "Uncle, my nephew is not a grass or tree. He can be ruthless, and he is not an ignorant person. He understands my uncle's dedication and kindness to my nephew, and my nephew will remember it in his heart."
Smiling with satisfaction, Xu Changqing said: "That's the best. It's getting late. Let's go and rest early. We'll talk about everything after the results are released. I estimate that it will take another three to five days. It may be faster. By then,
Depending on your ranking, I will help you find a good position no matter what."
"Thank you uncle."
The conversation between the uncle and nephew ended here.
Xu Changqing originally thought that the results of this palace examination would only come out in a few days at the earliest, but he did not expect that the next morning, he would be beaten by a burst of gongs and drums on the street.
When I got up and asked, I found out that the results were released today.
