Zhou Cai:?

Zhou Xun:?

Two big question marks once again appeared in the minds of these two people at the same time.

The emperor added: "But don't always think about competing with people who are better than you. He has a lot more accumulation than you. You are also quite good at writing materials."

Zhou Cai forced a smile, while Zhou Xun was in a daze behind the screen. Outside the screen, the two chatted for a while. Finally, he finally got to the point: "Actually, I have one more thing to ask of the emperor."

The emperor paused and asked him: "What's the matter?"

Before Zhou Cai could speak, the emperor added: "I would like to state first that salary matters and promotion matters must be done according to the system. This kind of thing cannot be made an exception for personal relationships. Everything must be done in accordance with regulations and systems.

Only then can it last.”

Zhou Cai:……

"What I want to say has nothing to do with salary."

"Then tell me."

Zhou Cai lifted his robe and knelt down: "I beg the emperor to send my brother back home. I heard that the emperor took my brother back to Yangxin Hall for a night last night, is that right?"

After seeing the emperor's expression, Zhou Cai's heart sank slightly.

Without waiting for the emperor's answer, he added: "Zhou Xun's behavior is ridiculous, but he is my younger brother after all. I have wanted to fulfill my eldest brother's duties and control him for many years, but he has been stubborn since he was a child, and he has more than enough intentions but not enough power. I know

The Emperor is broad-minded, but the Emperor is the king of a country..."

"This..." the emperor was stunned and said, "I just talked with him at night by candlelight. Yesterday, Mr. Zhou's few words were very philosophical and reminded me of an... no, many old friends... and he...

"

Zhou Cai continued to speak righteously: "However, in the eyes of others, this move is no different from Deng Tong, Dong Xian and others..."

"How can they compare with him?" The emperor seemed shocked, "They are just a group of mortals! How can they compare with his humble words and righteousness!"

The emperor actually defended Zhou Xun like this!

Zhou Cai gritted his teeth. He thought that the emperor might have just tasted Zhou Xun's taste, and it was the time when his love was strong. It might not be appropriate for him to say this. After thinking about it, he had no choice but to overwhelm others with justice: "Take me as an example.

Although I am a civil servant, I often discuss national affairs with the emperor, and have been friends with the emperor for many years, but I have never stayed in the Yangxin Palace just because of a few words. This matter is really beyond the rules..."

Emperor: "How can you compare with him?! My friendship with him is much deeper than my friendship with you!"

Zhou Cai: "?!"

Emperor: "I think about him day and night, it's not surprising! I understand him! I read and recite it well... No, I know his central idea!"

Zhou Xun:???

Zhou Cai was completely choked. His face was blue and white, and he even suspected that there was something wrong with his ears or his brain.

What does "How can he compare with Zhou Xun?!"

He was the number one scholar and a talented scholar in Jiangzhou. He had always dominated Zhou Xun since childhood. The fifth prince fell in love with him, so he sent Zhou Xun to be his substitute.

So what if Zhou Xun's talent is better than him?! So what if Zhou Xun's appearance is better than him?! In the end, he became the number one scholar, and he wasn't the one who saw all the flowers in Chang'an in one day? As a favorite of the emperor, he was admired by everyone

Not him yet?

He never thought that he would get such a comment from the emperor!

What happened in these short few days? The emperor, who had always been obedient to him, actually questioned him in front of him "How can he compare with Zhou Xun"?!

Last night, what happened between the emperor and Zhou Xun?

Zhou Cai had a good temper after all. He restrained himself and continued: "Your Majesty, please listen to me and let me explain it in detail for you..."

Behind the screen, Zhou Xun was completely shocked by those words.
