Chapter 190
Shen Fu was also shocked when he heard that Meng Xuan'an was so talented, how could His Majesty remove him? Besides, he had never met His Majesty, so how could Your Majesty know about him?
"Let me see."

He took the letter in Shen Shaoqing's hand and breathed a sigh of relief after reading it from beginning to end.

"Siqi, this is a good thing."

Seeing his father smiling, Shen Shaoqing was a little puzzled, and then heard Shen Fu ask: "Meng Xuan'an was removed from the list, but he was made a living man by your Majesty. My father asked you, do you live with your Majesty day and night?"

Shen Shaoqing nodded. The purpose of the daily life was to record His Majesty's daily life and whereabouts. Naturally, he wanted to spend time with His Majesty day and night.

"Then I'll ask you again, father, why is a big tree attracting the wind?"

At this point, Shen Shaoqing suddenly understood that Miaocai was a great talent, and he was naturally worthy of being the number one scholar. However, in today's court, he came from a poor family and had no foundation, so he would be easily ostracized by the powerful noble families.

As a result, he can only live in a small official position for the rest of his life.

And His Majesty removed him from the scientific examination paper and promoted him to his side. It seemed like suppression, but in fact it was training.

The Living Man and His Majesty get along day and night. Sometimes, when His Majesty meets with important ministers, the Living Man will accompany him. Listening to political affairs in person is much better than working in an official position for several years.

Emperor Yong intends to support him, and Miaocai will definitely seize this opportunity. By then, he will be a close minister of the emperor, and his rise to prominence will be just around the corner.

"It's just that my son still thinks it's a bit of a pity."

They have been preparing for so long just for this moment of fame.

"My father said that Meng Xuan'an has made great achievements. Since he is a close minister of the emperor, his future will definitely be far above yours in the future."

Whether he was promoted to a higher position or made a king or prime minister, he was someone they could only dream of.

Shen Shaoqing folded the letter and put it in the envelope. He and Miaocai were good friends, and he was happier than anything else to see him being appreciated by His Majesty.

How could he care about whether his position would surpass his in the future?

At this time, in the Zichen Hall of the Imperial Palace, Emperor Yong held Meng Xuanan's strategy in his hand and said to Qi Chengze: "This Meng Xuanan is a great talent."

This kind of policy is very rare. Every word is sharp and pointed, but it is both hard and soft. It seems to be a criticism, but there is room between the lines.

"This is a good article. Father, have you met him?"

Qi Chengze took the policy paper and thought it was good after just one glance. Such remarks were rarely made by ministers in the DPRK.

"I've seen him before. I let him come into the palace and become a living servant."

Emperor Yong looked down at the tea leaves in the cup. When he heard Qi Chengze repeating the word "Qi Ju Lang", he laughed and said, "Why, do you think it would be good to be the number one scholar?"

Qi Chengze still held the policy paper in his hand, and after pondering for a moment, he replied: "It is indeed good to be the number one scholar, but Meng Xuan'an comes from a poor family and has no foundation. Even if he wins the number one scholar, he will not be able to use his skills in the court in the future."

"It's better to stay with my father and grow faster."

He has always been surrounded by military generals like Jiang Huaice and Xiao Zian. Although Huai is smart, he is still a military general and spends very little time in the court.

His father's promotion of Meng Xuan'an was probably prepared for him. In this way, he and Ming Huai could maintain the stability of the court.

"Yes, it can also temper his character. I have seen him, but I just feel that he is still a little extreme in some things." Emperor Yong liked people who were ambitious and wanted. As long as a person has desires, he will He is very easy to control, so he never suppresses the minister's desires.

But facing Meng Xuan'an, he saw something in his eyes that attracted him more than ambition. He clearly wanted nothing, but wanted to stand at the top of power, which was a bit interesting.

"Father is wise."

Qi Chengze put down the things in his hands and followed Emperor Yong's words. Emperor Yong picked up the tea cup and took a sip and said: "In a few days, Minghuai will go to Dadu to pick up your aunt. I also feel uncomfortable during this period, so it's just the right time for me to go to Dadu to pick up your aunt." Minghuai escorted him to the palace in Dengzhou to recuperate."

"I'll leave the government to you, don't worry about anything, just go ahead and do it boldly."

Emperor Yong's illness was not yet at the point where he had to drop everything and go to the palace to recuperate. The reason why he stayed away from Huaijing was naturally to give those who were ready to take action a chance.

He was waiting for an opportunity, and so were they.

You can also take this opportunity to train Qi Chengze. As a prince, he is always kind. For example, when Liang Han framed him, he should be treated lightly, which is really not the way to go.

"Your mother is going with me."

When Emperor Yong saw Qi Chengze opening his mouth to speak, he immediately stopped him. She had also worked hard for a long time, so let's go and relax together.

The matter was settled like this, and Qi Chengze also knew that Emperor Yong was training himself, so he did not shirk it.

On the other hand, Shen Shaoqing was a little dumbfounded when he looked at the place where he was going to be posted. He clearly filled in Wenzhou at the time, so why did it become Dengzhou?
He met Meng Xuanan that day and saw that he had no complaints, so he felt relieved. Later, thinking about the ideals they had set at that time, he chose to go abroad.

You can choose your own place to go abroad, not to mention that if he takes the initiative to go out, the chance of being selected will be better. But he didn't expect that Wenzhou would become Dengzhou.

"Dengzhou is not far from Wenzhou. When you get there, you can go and burn some incense if you have time. By the way, Zhizhi will go with you this time."

The old lady walked in and said something to Shen Shaoqing. Shen Shaoqing was suddenly not sure what his grandmother was thinking.

"I don't know where I've been assigned yet. If Zhizhi followed me, wouldn't I be wronged?"

Shen Shaoqing looked at Shen Zhiyi behind her and gave her a look to persuade the old lady. He was going to work outside to do political work and could endure any hardship. But his sister was so doting, how could she follow him? Enduring hardship?
"You don't even listen to what grandma says?"

The old lady glanced at him, raised her hand and struck him with a cane. Fortunately, the force was not strong, otherwise Shen Shaoqing would have been carried away.

He covered his arm and nodded: "Grandma is right, grandma is wise!"

Although he didn't know why he had to take Zhizhi to Dengzhou, he still dared to refute.

Shen Zhiyi didn't understand why she wanted to go to Dengzhou with her brother. She just did as her grandmother told her, but before going to Dengzhou, she still had to make arrangements for Yunxiu Fang and Yanyu Tower.

"Grandma, won't I go?"

Shen Shaowei wondered aloud. She and Zhizhi had always been inseparable. Plus, her brother was a man, so how could he take good care of Zhizhi.

"Why are you going? Your mother has already decided on your marriage to Xiao Zian. They will get married in the spring of next year. You can stay in Huaijing and study with your mother."

Mrs. Shen looked at Shen Shaowei with a smile. Originally, she really didn't want Shen Shaowei to get married so soon, but Princess Danyang pressed hard, and she and Lin Huixin made the engagement as soon as they worked together.
