When she returned to the main road with Gu Tingye, Sheng Minglan had not left yet.
Zhao Zhen thought that she was worried about Gu Tingye, the male protagonist, and wanted to stay to see if he would be a hindrance.
However, as Gu Tingye mounted his horse and left with his men, Sheng Minglan did not make a single move.
She didn't even look at him.
"Dare I ask, young master, are you a scholar?”
Sheng Minglan asked Zhao Zhen after Gu Tingye and his group left.
"I guess so! I don't know why Miss Sheng asked this question.”
Zhao Zhen asked with a smile, his interest piqued.
"This little girl…I'm grateful for Young Master's help, so I just wanted to remind Young Master.”
"Oh? Please speak!"
"If Young Master doesn't have any achievements, there's no need to remind him.”
Fame?
As the current emperor, no one could surpass him in terms of fame!
"Coincidentally, I do have some achievements.”
"Since that's the case, I believe Young Master has heard that the current government has punished Teacher Pang Da and his disciples, right?”
Zhao Zhen's excitement grew stronger and stronger. He nodded and said,"Of course!"
"The so-called reminder is just my guess. I hope Young Master will not laugh at it.”
"I've heard the details!"
"Ever since the Emperor ascended the throne, he has been known for his kindness. However, he suddenly became furious and punished Master Pang Da and his disciples. In my humble opinion, the Emperor must be preparing for the future.
Today's dynasty, although it seems prosperous on the surface, is actually troubled by internal and external disasters, surrounded by strong enemies. If the government really has such a heart, it will certainly benefit the country and the people!
If my guess is correct, it is also the intention of the officials to lead the noble to counterattack and use their powerful pressure to clear the obstacles for the future governance.
As far as I know, the counter-attack was extremely fierce and was still quietly brewing. Many students with achievements in the capital were also pulled in and prepared to submit a ten-thousand-word letter.
Therefore, in my opinion, it's best that Young Master doesn't get involved in this matter, in case the official family gets angry again and cuts off his own future!”
Sheng Minglan whispered warily, which made Zhao Zhen look at her in a different light.
He was surprised that a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl could actually see this hidden information.
"Even important officials in the court should not speculate on the Saint's heart. You're a young lady, yet you're not only guessing but also saying it. Aren't you afraid that the news will be leaked and you'll be punished?”
"I…I believe Young Master won't report it! Moreover, even if this was a great taboo, how many officials who had the qualifications to meet the Saint were not constantly guessing the Saint's heart?
Unfortunately, the interest groups were deeply rooted. Even if they knew the intentions of the officials, for their own interests, they would definitely retaliate.
Smart people wouldn't jump out, but they would use others as weapons!”
The latter part of his words was basically telling Zhao Zhen to try his best to understand the pros and cons and not to become someone who was used as a tool.
Zhao Zhen smiled and nodded." Thank you for your reminder, Miss. I will remember it!"”
What an interesting little girl.
Zhao Zhen was willing to cooperate with her.
"I will take my leave now. I only hope that in the future, you will be able to get the title on the golden list.”
After Sheng Minglan finished speaking, she bowed and got into the car with Xiao Tao's help.
Zhao Zhen did not delay any longer and continued to head to the place not far away.
"Miss, to be willing to offend that young master, could it be…"
In the carriage, Xiao Tao looked at Sheng Minglan with a wicked smile.
Her pretty face instantly turned red. Before Xiao Tao could finish speaking, she shouted,"Don't talk nonsense. I really just want to thank him. I don't want him to get involved in meaningless struggles and ruin his future!”
"Young Master is a martial arts practitioner, and he is so powerful. Perhaps his achievements are from the martial examination?”
"I hope so! Being born in the martial arts examination, although it was easy to suppress, at least it was not easy to get involved in court disputes!”
Yao Minglan muttered.
……
Prime Minister Lu's residence.
"Why? Is Prime Minister Wang still refusing to see anyone?”
Lu Yijian, who was sitting at the head of the hall, looked at the officials below and asked with a frown.
"Reporting to Prime Minister, that is indeed the case. Even his own disciple was rejected.”An official reported.
"He's really an old fox who only knows how to smooth things over!" Lu Yijian was furious.
Wansui's previous actions weren't just a clear signal, but also hid a terrifying intention.
This matter involved the interests of all the scholars in the world, yet he still wanted to be a coward.”he said in annoyance.
"Studying hard at a cold window is only for being an official. It's not only for fame and status, but also for privileges. Prime Minister Wang's actions…have indeed disappointed us scholars!”
"Most of the current civil officials have already joined forces. There are thousands of scholars in the capital who have achieved fame, regardless of age. If Prime Minister Wang thinks that without Butcher Zhang, we can't eat the pigs that shed their hair, then he is gravely mistaken.”
"Exactly. Wansui's temperament suddenly changed. He ignored his previous benevolent image and punished Pang Da and his disciples. Although he didn't do anything else, it was obvious that he wanted to affect the interests of scholars and dignitaries. Now that so many people are against Wansui and want to protect Grand Preceptor Pang and his disciples, I don't believe that Wansui won't give in!”
Seeing everyone speak in anger, a satisfied smile appeared on Lu Yijian's face.
He was even full of confidence.
It was as if they could already see the scene of a complete victory!
