"Yes, yes... Minister of Rites Li Yulang."

Zhou Chixiong hesitated before telling the truth.

wow——

In an instant, the Golden Palace erupted in chaos.

The expressions on the faces of all the ministers were quite interesting.

Some were surprised, some were gloomy, and some were gloating.

A member of the Wang faction, a censor of the 443rd generation, stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, this matter is absurd, Zhou Chixiong is slandering us..."

Song Qing coldly interrupted him, saying, "Commander Zhou is not lying."

He was immersed in the mysteries of life alchemy when his teacher sent him to the palace, which made Song Qing very unhappy.

Chu Caiwei replied like a broken record: "I didn't lie."

The art of observing qi cannot be used to assess ministers of the fourth rank or higher, but it can be used to assess Zhou Chixiong.

The Minister of Rites looked ashen and remained silent.

Because he knew that there was no point in arguing at this point.

When Zhou Chixiong was arrested, he had already lost!

Unless they knew about it beforehand and ambushed it halfway.

But the night watchman wouldn't let him kill Zhou Chixiong so easily.

"Li Yulang, what do you have to say?"

Emperor Yuanjing looked at the Minister of Rites and said.

The Minister of Rites took a deep breath and composed himself, saying, "I am innocent."

It seemed like a death throes, but there were no extra words of explanation, only three pale words.

Wei Yuan immediately said, "Your Majesty, please hand this scoundrel over to me for interrogation and to find out his accomplices."

The Minister of Justice then stepped forward and challenged Wei Yuan, saying, "Your Majesty, this case should be handled by the Ministry of Justice."

Emperor Yuanjing did not answer, silently looking down at the court officials, causing them to stop their discussion and lower their heads slightly.

After a long while, Emperor Yuanjing announced in a loud voice: "This case will be handled by the Ministry of Justice."

The bombing of Sangbo can be considered to have come to an end.

Although Minister Sun of the Ministry of Justice was a member of the Wang faction, he dared not protect Li Yulang in this matter.

The crime of exterminating three generations of a family is inescapable.

The advantage of the Ministry of Justice taking over the case is that the Wang faction will not be affected too much, thus minimizing losses.

After dealing with the Sangbo bombing case, Emperor Yuanjing looked at Su Nan and smiled:

"Minister Su has rendered meritorious service in solving the case and should be rewarded."

"I intend to appoint you to the Hanlin Academy as a probationary official. What do you think?"

"..."

The expressions of all the civil and military officials changed slightly.

The official rank of Shujishi was not high.

However, historically only the top scholar in the imperial examinations could hold this position!

Because the junior scholars were also known as potential prime ministers in the court and among the common people, they were qualified to compete for the position of chief minister.

This shows that Emperor Yuanjing favored southern Jiangsu.

Grand Secretary Wang Zhenwen's expression did not change much.

He knew exactly how long the road from a junior scholar to the Grand Secretary was.

His Majesty is merely cultivating and promoting people from southern Jiangsu.

Qunqi Qijiu (Part 1) Yaojiu

"Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty."

"I have no official rank or title, so entering the Hanlin Academy is probably not suitable for me. Moreover, His Majesty knows my personality well, and I'm afraid I'm not well-suited for officialdom..."

Su Nan politely declined Emperor Yuan Jing's offer.

But he quickly made up for it.

"If Your Majesty grants your permission, then let me keep this imperial gold medal. If it is of use in the future, Your Majesty may summon me at any time."

He cannot slap Emperor Yuanjing in the face.

At least we can't embarrass him in front of the entire court.

So we still have to give them face.

I can do things for you, but I really don't want to be an official.

Southern Jiangsu is very envious of this gold medal.

With this gold medal, it will be much easier to find the patters and Huaiqing when entering the palace.

as predicted.

Emperor Yuanjing smiled upon hearing Su Nan's words.

"Alright, then we'll do as you say!"

"A gold medal is bestowed upon Minister Su!"

"..."

Emperor Yuanjing knew the nature of this banished immortal, whose greatest love was for the courtesans of the Imperial Music Bureau.

He was a playboy in his youth, and he was also obsessed with harems when he was young, so it's understandable.

The previous attempt to recruit people from southern Jiangsu was met with a direct rejection.

This time, at least Su Nan was willing to keep the gold medal, which shows that he was willing to do things for them.

This was enough for Emperor Yuanjing.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Su Nan bowed slightly and breathed a sigh of relief.

The bombing of Sangbo has now come to an end.

I can now stay in the Jiaofangsi (a government-run entertainment institution) peacefully for a while.

Once his cultivation reaches the second rank and he improves his physical strength, he will have the strength to participate in high-level battles among various forces.

Although a third-rank official is strong, it's still not enough.

……

Then Su Nan, Song Qing, Chu Caiwei, Zhang Shen and others left the Golden Palace.

What happens next in national affairs is none of their business.

"Mr. Su, the booklet you sent on your 644th trip to 8939 was a lifesaver, opening the door to the alchemy of life for me!"

"I just have a few questions, and I hope Mr. Su can answer them for me!"

As soon as Song Qing stepped out the door, he asked Su Nan for advice on alchemy.

Su Nan wasn't in the mood for the moment, so he said, "I'll answer your question next time I come to the Imperial Observatory."

Song Qing said "Oh," and then turned and left.

Su Nan looked at Chu Caiwei and asked, "Has the chicken essence been extracted yet?"

Chu Caiwei smiled broadly as she took a porcelain bottle from the bag at her waist.

"Success!"

"But I haven't had a chance to taste it yet!"

brush--

When the porcelain bottle reached Su Nan's hands, the latter said with a serious expression, "Let me taste it and see if your refining is up to standard."

Chu Caiwei's eyes were almost red.

This is the chicken essence she painstakingly developed!

But in front of Su Nan, she could only nod in agreement.

Zhang Shen looked at the two of them with a smile and said, "Young friend Su is as witty as ever."

"So, would you like to come with me to Yunlu Academy today?"

"The dean is very concerned about you."

Su Nan shook his head.

He had no interest in those old geezers like Zhao Shou.

"No, please thank the dean for his concern."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Shen had no choice but to give up, and whispered, "Within three feet of me, Yunlu Academy shall be the rightful owner!"

brush!

Zhang Shen's figure transformed into a wisp of pure air and vanished instantly.

Su Nan looked on with some envy.

These methods of Confucianism are truly effective.

Chu Caiwei also returned to the Imperial Observatory to continue her career advancement.

Su Nan then turned around and went to the inner palace to find a concubine.
