Yuan Chen looked away and continued: "The selection of Shen Huaiting is the result of careful consideration. Do any of you have any doubts?"
Zhang Wenyuan put his forehead against the ground and said: "His Royal Highness the Prince is a saint."
Upon seeing this, the other officials hurriedly followed Shan Hu. Emperor Beichen glanced at them and said: "Since there is no doubt, the matter has been settled. I hope that you all will work together and be loyal to the imperial court."
After everyone accepted the decree, Emperor Beichen also withdrew from the court. The courtiers congratulated Shen Huaiting symbolically, and then walked away in groups.
Shen Huaiting was waiting for Yuan Chen. He stepped forward and saluted: "His Royal Highness has intimidated several ministers today. I am afraid that they will not be convinced."
Yuan Chen said: "Then you have to be careful. This road will not work. They will definitely attack you."
Shen Huaiting smiled and said: "It seems that my future life will not be peaceful."
Yuan Chen was noncommittal and said: "You block their way and you will naturally become a thorn in their side, but this is the first step you have to face as the Prime Minister."
Shen Huaiting nodded and said: "Your Highness, don't worry, I have already prepared."
Yuan Chen patted him on the shoulder and said: "Three months, I will give you three months to firmly hold the position of Prime Minister, can you do it?"
Shen Huaiting saluted him solemnly and said, "I will not let His Highness down."
"good."
Yuan Chen smiled and said: "Although you are now the Prime Minister, it is inevitable for the new champion to parade on the streets. Go ahead and let the people of Beichen see how heroic their Prime Minister is?"
Shen Huaiting had forgotten that there was such a thing. Indeed, this was a necessary process for becoming the number one scholar in a new subject.
He said goodbye and immediately left the palace, where he saw someone waiting for him in front of the palace gate.
Seeing the man, Shen Huaiting was stunned for a moment, then saw the man walking over quickly and called out: "My nephew, I was in the hall just now, and I haven't had time to congratulate my nephew.
No, you should be called Prime Minister now. I really didn’t expect that His Highness the Crown Prince would take notice of you at such a young age and grant you such a high position. You really did not disappoint your father."
Shen Huaiting called out politely: "Thanks to Uncle Shi for taking me in, I am what I am today."
The uncle he mentioned was Wang Qingtong's father, Wang Pingyang.
Wang Pingyang was demoted from his official position because of what happened last time. Although he is still in the court, he is an insignificant person.
Just now in the main hall, he was shocked to see Shen Huaiting being named Prime Minister, and he felt endless regret in his heart.
If he had known that Shen Huaiting had such a great talent, he should not have underestimated him that day.
Fortunately, he knew what Shen Huaiting was thinking about his daughter.
Wang Pingyang collected his thoughts and said again: "We are all one family, why do you need to see others like this? If Tong Niang knew that you are now worshiping the Prime Minister, she would be very happy. Why don't you go back with me, my nephew, so that I can I’ll give you a banquet to congratulate you.”
Shen Huaiting said: "There's no need to bother Uncle Shi. I still have things to do. I will definitely pay you a visit someday to express my gratitude."
After leaving these words, he turned around and walked away. Seeing his attitude, Wang Pingyang couldn't help but feel a drum in his heart. Just now, Shen Huaiting didn't mention Tong Niang.
Could it be that now that he is the Prime Minister of the country, he looks down on his daughter? What should we do?
Wang Pingyang was so anxious that he hurried back to his house, intending to find his daughter and ask for details.
At this time, the streets were very lively, and the people had already heard that the top scholar in Jinke had been appointed as the prime minister.
They squeezed their heads, just to see what the youngest prime minister in the history of Beichen was like.
