Li Chen's words made Xu Junlou's heart beat wildly.

He realized that this summoning tonight might have a much deeper meaning than he thought.

After swallowing, Xu Junlou lowered his head and said, "I will know what you say to your highness."

Say I don't know, this is impossible.

This is like fooling His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

And there is nothing to be quibbling about. If you know, you know. If you don’t know, you don’t know.

After the rebellion, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince began to liquidate. These people arrested more officials and beheaded than in the past ten years, and almost all of them were officials in important positions in the central department.

People and location are all a carrot and a pit.

Now that these people have been cut down, the pit is naturally empty.

I don’t know how many people are trying their best to get in and take this opportunity to go to the next level.

Just when Xu Junlou was in a state of confusion, Li Chen said again: "The court is short of people at present. What I mean is that all the imperial examinations and Jinshi of this term will be arranged in advance to various departments and positions."

"As the top three in the previous imperial examination, you are naturally one of the candidates for this palace to consider. Now I will ask you what you mean?"

Xu Junlou only felt dry mouth.

If he had the opportunity to enter the court and make achievements, he would not want to stay in the Eastern Palace as a housekeeper.

Although the Zhan Shi Mansion is close to His Highness, he cannot display his ambitions after all.

For him, it is the ideal to get a position that has more real power and can display his ambitions.

Thinking of this, Xu Junlou said, "I dare not ask for anything. I will only follow your orders."

Li Chen chuckled and said, "You are so slick about me. I am asking you now, are you willing to continue to be the head of the Zhan Shi Mansion, or are you willing to go to another position?"

Xu Junlou swallowed and said seriously: "Weichen... want to go to another location."

"One of the reason is to exercise one's own abilities, and the second is that the court now lacks manpower, and what the poor ministers have learned can serve the court."

Xu Junlou's answer did not surprise Li Chen at all.

Nodded, Li Chen said, "Okay, I understand."

Li Chen did not directly announce his new appointment, nor even expressed his appreciation or denial of his statement, which made Xu Junlou feel a little uneasy.

But Xu Junlou didn't have the courage to ask directly, so he had to remain silent.

"Tonight, I'll give you a vacation. Go home and wait for appointment at home."

When Xu Junlou heard Li Chen's words, he was overjoyed.

He knew that he had finally had the opportunity to show his ambitions.

Although I don’t know my position and whereabouts, with His Highness’s words, it is a foregone conclusion that I will take up a new position by myself.

Kneeling on the ground, Xu Junlou kowtowed to Li Chen seriously and said, "I thank Your Highness for your kindness."

Li Chen didn't say anything, but just waved his hand to signal Xu Junlou to retreat.

Xu Junlou stood up, faced Li Chen, and retreated to leave the side hall.

After Xu Junlou left, two words suddenly rang out in the quiet side hall.

"Fool."

These two words were said by Wan Jiaojiao.

She thought Xu Junlou was a fool.

Even she could see clearly that staying with His Highness at this time was the best choice, but Xu Junlou couldn't see through it.

Li Chen glared at Wan Jiaojiao and said angrily: "You are just talking too much."

Wan Jiaojiao stuck out her tongue and said, "Your Highness, I just think he is so stupid."

"This is called everyone has their own aspirations."
