Houfu Key Class

Eastern Palace, Zong Zhao went in to look after His Highness.

The Crown Princess invited Xu Wan to sit down and chatted with her: "I heard that there have been a lot of incidents in your house recently. Are you okay? Do you need my help?"

Xu Wan smiled and shook her head: "Thank you for your trouble, my majesty. I have dealt with all the family affairs. It's just that I was delayed in entering the palace for a few days, which made Your Highness wait anxiously."

The Crown Princess smiled bitterly and said: "To be honest, you didn't come a few days ago. I thought you were angry with His Highness because the City Patrol stopped Jin Cheng and others outside the city... But His Highness has been in a coma and has no idea about this."

Xu Wan asked: "Did the City Patrol really stop us on purpose because of Luo Jingfeng?"

The Crown Princess After hesitating for a while, he nodded and replied, "Yes, they thought Zong Zhao and Luo Jingfeng were on the same side, and since His Highness is like this now, they all think that it was Luo Jingfeng who did it, so they refused to let you into the city."

"So that's really the case..." Xu Wan suddenly said, "Then they are quite brave. Everyone in the capital is afraid of Luo Jingfeng, and only the patrol department dares to go against his Luo family."

The Crown Princess smiled bitterly and said, "Yes, in the whole capital, only they, only His Highness... are not afraid of power, life and death, and the people under His Highness are not the kind of people who are greedy for life and afraid of death."

While the two were talking, Zong Zhao came out of the house.

He said goodbye to the Crown Princess and was about to leave, but the Crown Princess suddenly stopped him: "Zong Zhao, although I don't know what you are going to do with Luo Jingfeng, just because you can make Luo Jingfeng stop advocating to abolish the prince, I believe that no matter what you do, you will not harm His Highness."

Zong Zhao did not reply to her.

Whether he treats His Highness well or not is his business, and he doesn't mind whether the Crown Princess will misunderstand.

The Crown Princess added, "The Patrol City has tens of thousands of soldiers guarding the Imperial City. This is the most important thing for His Highness. I can't ask them to apologize to you just for Luo Jingfeng or Jin Cheng."

Zong Zhao replied, "I understand, and I don't need them to apologize."

The Crown Princess took out a token from her body and handed it to him, "But I can hand over the Patrol City to you."

"!" Xu Wan was shocked.

That was the Crown Prince's greatest reliance, the Patrol City, which was in charge of the safety of the entire capital. Even though it couldn't compete with Luo Jingfeng's military power, the Patrol City had the most powerful power in the capital.

And this token could mobilize the entire Patrol City.

Zong Zhao's face was gloomy: "This token is of great importance. Your Majesty, are you confident in handing it over to me?"

The Crown Princess shook her head and said: "In fact, I am not confident, because this trust is too great. If I am not careful, both the Crown Prince and I will be doomed. However, I know the Crown Prince very well. He has been hiding a lot of things from me. Whether it is Jin Cheng or you, he has not revealed much to me. I know he doesn't want me to wade into this muddy water, but I also want to enter his world and bear the wind and snow for him... But he refused to give me such an opportunity."

She was choking a little as she spoke, but she still tried hard not to cry: "Since the Crown Prince won't tell me, then leave it to you. I believe that when the Crown Prince wakes up, he will see a clean court."

Zong Zhao took the token from her.

Such a small sign carries the trust of the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess. He said in a hoarse voice: "Okay, I will do it."

So far, the power of the Patrol City Division has been secretly transferred.

Zong Zhao put the token away and took Xu Wan out of the palace.

Knowing another incredible event, Xu Wan found that she knew too many secrets, but she couldn't erase her memory after knowing everything, so she had to be quiet and pretend that she didn't exist.

She didn't speak, and Zong Zhao didn't speak either, and the two of them were silent.

In the evening, the exam in the big study room ended.

The invigilator Shunzi brought nine answer sheets over. Xu Wan, who had rested for another day, was full of energy. She had dinner early on purpose, just to see the test papers of several people on time.

Zong Zhao sat at the desk and helped her look at the answer sheets.

Xu Wan picked up the little devil's first, wanting to see how good this kid's policy essay was now. When she read the first half of the test paper, she felt that the logic was clear and the order was clear, and the items were listed very well, but when she saw the second half, she frowned.

It's not that the answer was bad, but the idea was very strange.

She couldn't figure it out, so she called out, "Zong Zhao, come and take a look at Jin Cheng's test paper. I think something is wrong."

"What's wrong?" Zong Zhao put down the test paper in his hand and leaned over to look at the answer sheet.

After seeing this, he also fell silent.

Xu Wan said weakly, "Jin Cheng should have just written off topic, right?"

On the test paper, he first wrote what an official should do, but in the end he began to give suggestions to the new emperor, teaching the new monarch how to appoint officials.

How to use officials is something the emperor should consider, what does it have to do with him?

Zong Zhao put down the test paper, his eyes were like torches.

He said firmly, "No, he didn't write off topic, he just thought this was really what he should do... He shouldn't know this."

Xu Wan's heart skipped a beat.

She remembered that the prince came at least one day a month in that year and a half, on the second floor of the big study, and talked with Jin Cheng for a whole day.

She asked Jin Cheng what they talked about, and Jin Cheng covered his mouth tightly, not revealing any information. Now it seems...

Xu Wan guessed: "Did His Highness teach him?"

Zong Zhao acted very quickly, picked up the test paper with one hand, and walked out with Xu Wan with the other hand: "Go ask him."

"Ah? Ask him? I can't ask him, I asked him many times before." Xu Wan was at a loss.

"I'll ask." Zong Zhao said.

In the big study, Zong Jincheng and his brothers were eating buns while studying hard. This was their normal routine in the evening. They felt that eating and studying at the same time could help them absorb knowledge directly into their stomachs, which would achieve twice the result with half the effort.

"General, Madam." The maids at the door announced one after another.

The teachers and students in the room raised their heads.

"Dad, Mom." "Uncle Zong, Aunt." "General, Madam."

Zong Zhao strode in.

Zong Jincheng saw his test paper at a glance. He said excitedly: "Dad, how about it, did you see my wonderful essay and think that this boy is really a literary star?"

Xu Wan: "..."

Here it comes again, this ear-piercing confidence.

Others also twitched their mouths more or less, but when they thought that Zong Jincheng's essay was indeed well written, no one dared to refute him.

Zong Zhao didn't reply to him, but just said: "Bring a lamp to the second floor, I will tell you about your policy paper."

"Okay!" The little devil was excited.

Whether his father was praising him or guiding him in policy paper, it was unique, and he felt super excited just thinking about it.

Seeing that there was nothing for the others to do, they sat down to read again.

Zong Jincheng was young and had a lot of energy. He was afraid that one lamp was not bright enough, so he went downstairs to get another one, running up and down the stairs.

When he finished all this, before he had time to sit down, he saw his father asked directly in front of his mother: "Your Highness taught you how to appoint officials, right?"
