Xu Changqing's words made Xu Junlou stunned for a moment, he hurriedly chased and asked: "Uncle, why is that"

Xu Changqing glanced at Xu Junlou and sighed: "Now the contradiction between the cabinet and the East Palace is almost on the surface. If I'm not mistaken, there will soon be a major change in the court."

"This upheaval can only have one victor. You tell me, at a time like this, is it good or bad for you to get involved"

Xu Junlou immediately said, "I have studied hard for over ten years in my cold and secluded room, all to wear the official hat, realize my ideals and ambitions, and benefit one side of water and soil. How can I shrink back because of these power struggles Besides, I don't participate in those things, I just do my own thing, and no one will come after me, a small character, right"

Xu Changqing glared at Xu Junlou and rebuked, "Naive!"

The court situation was in flux, and this year's imperial examination had been branded with the label of the Eastern Palace from the very beginning because of the prince's involvement.

"Political struggles, or factionalism, if it is factionalism, then naturally one must uproot it."

"If this upheaval brings the Eastern Palace to ruin, both you and I, as uncle and nephew, will have no good end. You think that by pretending not to hear what's happening outside, you can stay out of it You're far too naive."

Xu Changqing's words made Xu Junlou's expression a little unsightly.

He whispered, “Uncle, what do we do now”

Xu Changqing sighed: "Since I didn't stop you before, it means I already agreed. I've thought it through, even if you don't participate in this year's imperial examination, what difference does it make You can't escape it anyway."

"If the East Palace fails, I will inevitably lose my position and my life. As my nephew, how could you possibly remain unscathed"

"But if the East Palace wins, you will participate in this palace exam and get a good ranking. When the Crown Prince ascends to the throne in the future, you will be considered an official who joined the prince's mansion during his time as crown prince. This will make your path much easier."

Since the worst outcome is the same in both cases, and the best outcome is better in one case, we naturally choose the option that leads to the best result.

Xu Junlou listened carefully and respectfully bowed. "Uncle has thought deeply, and nephew admires you."

Xu Changqing waved his hand and said, "The Xu family's lineage has dwindled to your generation. Your father and I were brothers, but your father died in an accident. Although you and I are called uncle and nephew, I have no children, so I have always raised you as my own son. The Xu family has come down to you, and you are the only one left."

So, between you and me, there's no need for too much formality. Just ask if you need anything, and I'll be happy to help.

This remark deeply moved Xu Junlou.

He solemnly said, "Uncle, a nephew is not wood or stone; how can he be heartless I am not someone who does not understand reason. I understand your efforts and kindness towards me, and I will always remember them."

"Smiling with satisfaction, Xu Changqing said, 'That's best. It's getting late, so let's get some rest. Everything can wait until after the results are released. I estimate it will take another three to five days, maybe even sooner. Then we'll see what your ranking is. Whatever it is, I'll do my best to help you secure a good position.'"

"Thank you, uncle."

The conversation between the uncle and nephew came to an end.

Xu Changqing originally thought that the results of this imperial examination would take at least a few days to come out, but he didn't expect that the next morning, he was awakened by the sound of gongs and drums on the street.

When he got up and asked, he found out that the results had been released today.ncle, the left minister of the Ministry of Revenue."Xu Junlou's face stiffened.He wanted to take the imperial examinations and enter officialdom, but he hated it most when others exposed his shortcomi...
