The leadership talks before the appointment have been held, and the formal appointment document has been issued, so the top three in this term's imperial examination have no reason to stay in the East Palace.
Seeing Li Chen pick up the tea cup after speaking, these three smart people knew that it was time to leave.
"Your Highness's state affairs are heavy, and I dare not take up Your Highness's time. I will resign."
Led by Fu Minqing, after going through a process and getting a nod from Li Chen, the three of them filed out of Xi Zheng Palace.
When they came outside, fresh air poured into their nostrils, and the three of them were shocked and realized that the pressure on their bodies suddenly disappeared.
Looking at each other, they each saw that the other's state was similar to theirs.
Fu Minqing smiled and took the initiative to open the topic and said: "His Highness's majesty is getting stronger and stronger. Although he spoke to us in a friendly manner just now, we were unconsciously walking on thin ice. His Highness's aura is really too strong."
Zou Chenglong smiled. He has a calm temperament and is destined to be unlikely to talk about His Highness behind his back. Even if there is nothing wrong with such discussions, Fu Minqing's words are mostly respectful, but his character determines that he is unwilling to do so.
Anything risky.
Xu Junlou cupped his hands in front of the two of them and said: "You two, from now on we will be colleagues. Since we are officials in the same dynasty, and we will work for His Highness in the East Palace together, we will still have to move around more and keep in touch with each other in the future. If we can have
If I can help you, please don't be polite, I will do my best."
This is the difference between having elders take care of you at home and not having elders take care of you.
Fu Minqing is smart and witty, and Zou Chenglong is mature and prudent, but neither of them is as smooth as Xu Junlou.
Under the influence of Xu Changqing, Xu Junlou has long understood that the power tactics and party struggles played in the officialdom actually boil down to only one thing in the end, and that is the human heart.
Politics is dark and obscure, and power is limited. If everyone wants to get more power, they must compete for it. Since they compete, there will be enemies, so political friends or allies are extremely important.
Fu Minqing and Zou Chenglong are now members of the Donggong team. Like them, they both came from imperial examinations. So when we three young people of similar age and similar backgrounds stick together, they become natural allies.
Xu Junlou naturally wanted to build a good relationship with them.
Although Fu Minqing and Zou Chenglong are slightly inexperienced, they are not fools. They are clear-eyed and will certainly not refuse Xu Junlou's kindness.
At the moment, without any status or background, they are like duckweeds in the court, and Xu Junlou, a second-generation official with an uncle who is the left minister of the household department, is obviously the biggest supporter among them.
In addition, His Highness the Crown Prince clearly intends to cultivate Xu Junlou as his confidant, so they have no reason not to be on good terms with Xu Junlou.
Even Zou Chenglong, who was unwilling to take risks, expressed goodwill to Xu Junlou. He was just steady, not stupid, and knew what to do to his benefit.
Lang was in love with his concubine, and the three of them talked happily and left the East Palace together.
"Your Highness, the three of them left the East Palace and went to the direction of the Royal Academy together."
As soon as Fu Minqing and the other three left, the three treasures on the back came to report to Li Chen.
"Um."
Li Chen said something in his nose to show that he knew, and he asked casually: "Has there been any movement in Zhao's house these days?"
Compared with the three young seedlings of Fu Minqing, Li Chen was more concerned about Zhao Xuanji's old fox with its fangs exposed.
