Wei Zan subconsciously thought that it was a pity that the current Emperor was not good at martial arts, and he was not very familiar with the art of war, so Shen Yuan’s move might not be effective.
Then he heard Tang Nan Xing click his tongue and whisper in his ear in a mosquito-like voice, “Shen Yuan, this kid is really good at grabbing opportunities. It’s quite a feat to have Si Ye endorse his book for him.”
Wei Zan looked at him with his deep eyes, signaling Tang Nan Xing to be quiet.
Emperor Jiayou actually called the writer of the book to come forward.
When he raised his eyes, he saw a student passing through the officials standing on the left and right, without feeling any embarrassment at all.
Shen Yuan wore a neat blue robe, showing a jade-like gentle character.
When he bowed down, his etiquette and gesture were all filled with gentleness.
If you didn’t know his true nature, at first sight, you would definitely think of him as a gentle scholar.
When Emperor Jiayou saw him, he gently put down the book in his hand, looked at Shen Yuan for a long time, and thoughtfully said, “Are you the son of the former Commander-in-Chief Shen Yu Jin?”
Shen Yuan lowered his eyes and politely replied, “That’s right, Your Majesty.”
Emperor Jiayou said, “Your talent is so extraordinary. You are really Shen Yu Jin’s son.”
Emperor Jiayou added, “Your father was very good.”
Hearing this, the surrounding officials laughed together, and most of them immediately praised the martyrs of the past.
The emperor asked several more questions about how Shen Yuan was studying and whether he had any relatives at home.
Hearing Si Ye praise Shen Yuan for everything in the sky and on earth, he became somewhat interested and raised his hand to look at the book containing the war formations.
The emperor wanted to pick it up and look around.
Only then did Shen Yuan show a hint of nervousness and hope in his eyes.
But Emperor Jiayou suddenly remembered something, and asked Shen Yuan again, “I remember you are temporarily staying in the Marquis Mansion?”
Hearing that, Shen Yuan immediately replied, “It’s a blessing that the student was taken in by the Marquis.”
While talking about the Marquis Mansion, Emperor Jiayou suddenly thought of Jing Han.
The emperor glanced at the school teachers and said with a smile, “I remember Jing Han is also in school, is he here today?”
Wei Zan, also known as Jing Han, had always been called Wei Zan by people around him. Wei Zan had himself forgotten that Wei Jing Han was also his name.
Everyone looked over and saw that Wei Zan was lazily standing there. Unlike other students, he was the nephew of Emperor Jiayou. He often walked around the palace and had seen the emperor dozens of times a year.
Wei Zan really didn’t want to get such limelight.
The emperor shouted, so Wei Zan had no choice but to step forward.
Wei Zan bowed, and said, “Greetings, Your Majesty.”
Emperor Jiayou personally patted Wei Zan’s shoulder and said with a smile, “I haven’t seen you for only half a month, how come you have grown taller again?”
From the corner of his eye, Wei Zan caught a glimpse of Shen Yuan’s expressionless face.
He was standing with his hands down, and his fingertips slowly retracted into the cuffs and silently tightened the corners.
The smiling curve of the lips had also become cold but others couldn’t see it.
Wei Zan was very familiar with it. In his previous life, Shen Yuan would always do something like this whenever he saw something displeased with him.
Emperor Jiayou asked someone to give him a seat, and said to Si Ye, “This nephew of mine is the most difficult to discipline, and you must not indulge him. You must treat him harshly. The future Marquis of Daqi will be in your hands.”
Hearing this, Si Ye hurriedly nodded.
The topic was shifted to the Wei Zan, and no one thought of the formation diagram anymore.
Emperor Jiayou said to Wei Zan, “Empress Wei mentioned you a few days ago, saying that you stayed in the Marquis study all day long, and your bones were almost rusty.”
“…If you are free, you might as well come to the court and do some errands.”
As he spoke, the Emperor’s brows were covered with a faint layer of gloom, and he glanced at the ministers nearby, but did not say anything, “Having a young person will save some people from being disrespectful in the court.”
These words were probably meant to hit the surrounding ministers and officials.
