Fortunately, he will never die.

After all, I have passed the sixth grade, and there are many things that civil servants can do to reject imperial edicts as long as they find reasons.

If nothing else works, the worst he can do is resign and go home. The emperor cannot kill people just because of this.

That is a tyrant, and the Supreme Emperor is not that stupid.

"Master Zhuangyuan, you still don't accept the order?"

Dai Quan's tone was much harsher this time.

On the other hand, the faces of the fellow scholars around him became angrier the more they heard about it.

But it’s not like no one seems to care about the matter as it doesn’t concern them.

Even the guy named Fan Dao had a look of gloating on his face.

He even stood up and shouted, "Shi Boqian, are you trying to resist the decree?"

Shi Zhongkui sneered, this man is absolutely crazy.

Anyone who jumps out to speak at this time will definitely not get good results.

Sure enough, the official was furious and said, "You are so bold that you roar in front of the emperor. What crime should you do? Come here."

Fan Dao turned pale with fright.

Dai Quan, on the other hand, chuckled and glanced at Fan Dao, who was kneeling on the ground, before waiting for the Han general in charge of etiquette and security in front of the palace to answer.

He took the first step and shouted loudly, "Master Zhuangyuan, take the order first and then talk about other things."

Damn the damn eunuch, Shi Zhongkui cursed in his heart.

Sure enough, the body of the guard in front of the palace, who was about to move, froze in place again.

Punishing a new scholar is indeed not as important as the emperor's will.

Because of Dai Quan's words, everyone's attention returned to him again.

Yu Tongfu on the side was even more anxious, he was so frightened that he broke out in cold sweat, and his breathing gradually became heavier, but it was useless no matter how anxious he was.

Shi Zhongkui heard the breathing sound on his right back, but he didn't understand that it was Yu Tongfu.

Not caring about the loss of etiquette, he put his hand on the back right side and waved slightly towards Yu Tongfu.

Sure enough, after a while, Yu Tongfu's breathing slowly calmed down.

But this reminded Shi Zhongkui, who sighed heavily and could only make a dangerous move.

Without saying a word, he bowed to the Jinluan Hall and lay motionless.

The smart people quickly realized that the emperor's way to break the situation was actually very simple.

Since Shi Zhongkui has delayed for so long and refused to accept the order, all fools know that he only wants to be loyal to the emperor.

After all, the number one scholar was chosen by the emperor, and he could only be loyal to the emperor, because to a large extent, the emperor was also his mentor.

At this time, the emperor laughed and said some stage words, hinting that he would accept the order, and the emperor's plans were instantly foiled.

Don't think that the emperor doesn't have to worry about what his subordinates think.

The so-called giving both kindness and power, since the word "kind" comes first, it means that kindness is more important than power. This is what the saying "the benevolent is invincible" means.

This kind of emperor who can consider his ministers will definitely be recognized by many officials.

Moreover, he was able to maintain his delicate relationship with the old emperor and once again suppressed the fight that was about to be brought to light in private.

This further balanced the situation, and in the end the emperor took the greater advantage.

After all, time is on the emperor's side.

Of course, the premise is that the emperor himself is patient.

When Shi Zhongkui succeeded in raising fish in the rice fields of Gyeonggi Province and combing the river channels, and the people and ministers praised his merits, the emperor would have at least half of the credit.

Sure enough, when the emperor saw the ministers in the Jinluan Palace showing enlightened expressions, he suppressed the anger in his heart. When he thought about it carefully, the anger on his face was quickly replaced by a smile.

I secretly sighed in my heart that Shi Zhongkui was worthy of being the leader of the Six Yuan Dynasty, he was so smart.

And he's loyal enough.

After a while, Xia Shouzhong hurriedly ran out of the Jinluan Hall and walked quickly down the white marble steps.

Smiling, he cupped his hands to Dai Quan and said, "Good luck to Dai Quan, this servant is following His Majesty's decree to congratulate the No. 1 Scholar."

As soon as these words came out, the 199 Jinke Jinshi and officials outside the hall were envied by everyone and almost went crazy.

He, Shi Zhongkui, had all the good things in the world, including winning six yuan and getting married, and marrying the daughters of two rich families at the same time.

But since the Emperor has been emperor for decades, how can he be easily defeated?

After Shi Zhongkui accepted the order with peace of mind and thanked him for his kindness, Dai Quan said with a smile, "The sage has spoken."

After hearing that the Supreme Emperor actually asked him to go to Jia's house tomorrow to announce the decree that Jia Yuanchun should be promoted to Fengzao Palace Minister, Shi Zhongkui was stunned.

It is impossible for foreign ministers to declare a royal marriage.

Only the eunuch, a domestic slave, could go.

But if you think about it carefully, it's not right.

The oral edict did not say anything about making Jia Yuanchun a concubine.

How great an honor must it be to be the number one scholar in a new subject, or to have an uncle who was ranked sixth in a new subject come to announce the decree in person?

It would be strange for the Jia family and other nobles not to be grateful.

And what if I go to Jia's house tomorrow?

Soon after, the eunuch came to the house and asked Yuanchun to be made his concubine.

All the nobles and officials who felt uneasy because of the serious illness of the old concubine Zhen would definitely feel that the Supreme Emperor had not given up on them.

Shi Zhongkui sighed in his heart and secretly thought that the old emperor was really powerful.

He secretly glanced at Xia Shouzhong and saw that the eunuch's eyes were already dull.

Dai Quan looked at Xia Shouzhong blatantly, with a sneer on his lips.

Then he said with a smile, "Since Duke Zhuangyuan is the husband-in-law of the second girl of the Jia family, then you and your daughter, Shangshu, are one family.

This kind of honor is due to the saint's deep love for Duke Zhuangyuan and his sympathy for the Jia family.

Outsiders don’t have the qualifications or opportunities to seek help.”

Shi Zhongkui secretly thought that it was indeed the same as he guessed.

Although there will be debates between the government and the public, the emperor's kindness to the nobles will definitely stabilize his own fundamentals.

If you fight with the emperor again, it will be much easier to stabilize your rights.

Moreover, in ancient times, fathers had absolute power to let their sons marry whomever they wanted.

Even if the emperor resisted in his heart, he could only make Jia Yuanchun his concubine.

But if nothing unexpected happened, when the emperor granted Yuanchun the title, he would grant it to a virtuous concubine.

This can actually explain a lot of problems.

Any kind of virtuous concubine or virtuous concubine can be used, but no one has two titles of concubine while alive.

Of course, you have to say that this is a gift from the emperor, and that is justified.

Shi Zhongkui could think of so much because he had already seen the ending from God's perspective.
