The crowd dispersed like a tide.
Of course, the county government did not dare to continue arresting people. After the Jinyiwei intervened, they would not dare to continue to find trouble with Su Ce even if they had a hundred guts.
As for accepting money from those scholars…so be it.
Magistrate Ning took a deep look at the small courtyard made of green vines and shook his head slightly. His eyes were filled with disappointment.
He actually degenerated to the point of colluding with the Jinyiwei. He clearly had some talent, so why didn't he go for a proper examination?
Magistrate Ning didn't stay any longer, shaking his head and leaving.
Wei Wenli tidied up his Flying Fish Robe and asked the Embroidered Uniform Guards to wait outside the door. He then walked in respectfully.
He had imagined many things in his mind. He imagined that there should be a great teacher, a great scholar, or a hermit.
However, he never expected that the person who was sitting quietly at the stone table and writing would be a white-robed youth.
He was very young, so young that Wei Wenli was surprised.
* Cough cough *
Su Ce covered his mouth with a handkerchief.
Was he sick?
Wei Wenli was a general of the Brocade Guard, and he had sharp moves. He could see the red handkerchief from afar, but Su Ce quickly kept it.
Wei Wenli walked over and said politely,""Greetings, young mister."
"Thank you, sir, for helping me out," said Su Ce.”
Wei Wenli smiled bitterly, thinking that even if he didn't do anything, if the Crown Prince found out, Shuntian County would probably be in trouble.
Wei Wenli stretched his head and looked at the things Su Ce wrote. They were all ordinary prices. Every common item in the market was clearly marked in his elegant notes.
His words were clean, just like his personality. He had no desires, and his words were elegant.
Was this written for the crown prince?
He was already so sick, yet he was still writing these basic prices for the crown prince?
Why? To get promoted and get rich?
Wei Wenli quickly denied this conjecture. Before this, he had investigated the relationship between Su Ce and the Crown Prince. They were very close.
If Su Ce really wanted money and an official position, he could easily get it, but he didn't.
At this moment, Wei Wenli was certain that the person who was assisting and teaching the Crown Prince was not Yang Tinghe, but this handsome and quiet young Langjun.
Was he nurturing the future of the empire?
In an instant, Wei Wenli's eyes widened, and his heart was filled with respect!
It was rare for him to see such a pure person. He felt that people should not be like this. People should have their own thoughts and should not have no desires. They should not have no desires to nurture the future of the Imperium even when they were so seriously ill!
How big of a plan and breadth of mind did this require?!
How could Wei Wenli not respect such a person!
Actually, Emperor Hongzhi could find out about these things as long as he wanted to.
However, the emperor had too many facts to deal with. Moreover, Emperor Hongzhi had long assumed that Yang Tinghe was the one teaching the Crown Prince, so he did not take the time to investigate who Zhu Houzhao was close to.
However, Wei Wenli was different. Yang Tinghe's attitude towards him made him certain that the person who taught the Crown Prince was not Yang Tinghe.
Wei Wenli was not a fool to be able to command and know the Embroidered Uniform Guards.
That was why he found out about Su Ce.
Wei Wenli hurriedly bowed and cupped his fists. He was even more polite as he said,"Little mister, don't blame me. I'm just doing my job.”
"I would also like to thank Young Sir for recommending me to be the commander of the Southeast Japan Guard.”
Only then did Su Ce raise his head to look at Wei Wenli curiously. He then nodded lightly and said calmly,""I didn't recommend you."
Wei Wenli said seriously," If it wasn't for Young Sir informing the Crown Prince to recommend the Embroidered Uniform Guards to the Southeast, I wouldn't have had the chance to do so. I still have to thank you."”
"Uh, Young Sir must know that he is His Highness the Crown Prince, right?”
Wei Wenli was a shrewd person. He didn't think that Su Ce would be so foolish as to think that Zhu Houzhao, who often played with him, was just a child from an ordinary family.
Su Ce didn't deny it." I know," he nodded." But he doesn't know that I know."”
Wei Wenli smiled bitterly.
Indeed, it should be like this. His Highness the Crown Prince was still foolishly thinking that the young master did not know his identity.
Su Ce slowly put down his pen and looked up at Wei Wenli seriously.""After you go to the southeast, you must have your own opinions. You are a Jinyiwei, a retainer of the emperor. If you get involved with civil officials, you should know the consequences.”
This was Su Ce's advice to Wei Wenli, but it was also a threat.
Isn't it funny? How dare a sickly person threaten the Governor of Southeast to guard against Japanese pirates?
It was not funny at all! Wei Wenli even felt a little frightened.
If other people really treated the little Langjun in front of them as a sickly person, they would probably die without knowing how!
After Wei Wenli finished combing his meridians, his entire body started to feel cold.
On the surface, the Crown Prince seemed to be the key to the opening of the sea and the selection of the candidate. However, the true driving force was probably this quiet and handsome young Langjun in front of him!
A seriously ill young man who was wandering outside the court but could push the empire forward. Who wouldn't be terrified if they knew?
He was polite and knew the rules. At the same time, under these good moral qualities, he had a cold and tough heart.
If he wasn't dragging his sick body, what would his future be like?
Wei Wenli didn't dare to think about it.
He cupped his fists and nodded." I'll do as you say. Thank you for your advice. I'll remember it."”
"Yes."
Su Ce said," As long as you don't get involved with the civil officials, no matter what happens, I'll protect you. You'll make a name for yourself in the Southeast. Your future is limitless."”
Wei Wenli was delighted and quickly said,"Thank you, Your Excellency!"”
The two of them had a tacit understanding that Wei Wenli would not speak carelessly about today's conversation. He believed that Su Ce's calm and undemanding personality would not speak carelessly.
"This humble official will take his leave."
Su Ce nodded lightly.
Before he left, Wei Wenli looked around anxiously. He saw many traps!
What would have happened if those people had barged in?
Even without his help, he would be safe and sound.
……
The next day, at the court meeting of Wuying Hall, a surprising appointment was issued from Hongzhi's mouth.
Appointed the commander of the Royal Guards, Wei Wenli, as the commander of the Japanese army in the southeast.
When the news came out, all the elders and leaders of the six departments were shocked and spoke up to stop it.
However, Emperor Hongzhi was determined to let Wei Wenli guard against the Japanese pirates in the southeast, so the six departments of the cabinet could only give up and watch as such a large and lucrative position in the southeast flew away.
What was worth mentioning was that when they heard that this suggestion came from the Crown Prince, this group of people held a grudge against Yang Tinghe.
They thought that Yang Tinghe was a traitor, a scum among civil officials, and colluded with the Embroidered Uniform Guards!
