The First Auxiliary Road from the Imperial Examination

Chapter 1144 Opening (Part )

When the participants heard Sheng Yuan’s request, their first reaction was to look at each other in bewilderment.

When someone unconsciously wanted to whisper to the person next to him, he heard someone suddenly clear a cough. He immediately reacted and hurriedly closed his mouth as he wanted to talk too much.

Sheng Yuan saw that everyone was acting as if they were facing a great enemy, but he was neither angry nor resentful. He still smiled gently and said, "Why should you be so nervous, my colleagues? I will not confiscate your tokens!"

As she spoke, she raised her token and slowly showed it to everyone: "This token of mine was given by the emperor. It has the words 'a deputy' written on it, indicating the specific position... Unfortunately, I am not well-informed and can only guess the words on the tokens of the other deputy governors, but I don't know what is written on the tokens of the rest of you."

As everyone listened to her words up to this point, no one could ignore the words "given by the Emperor".

Fearing that she would take the opportunity to find fault with them, everyone was stunned for a moment and then rushed to show her the token.

Sheng Yuan looked around and suddenly realized that the tokens of everyone present seemed to be basically the same, distinguished only by color and pattern. Only her token was different.

"It seems that everyone is indeed qualified to sit here!" Sheng Yuan stroked the token a few times and took it back casually.

Her seemingly ordinary question made everyone present break out in cold sweats.

What does "qualified to sit here" mean? !

Or was Sheng Wenzhen actually hinting at something?!

  Is she trying to tell everyone that she can make people eligible to sit here, or she can make people not eligible to sit here? !

People who like to think too much would like to study the dozen words that Sheng Yuan said over and over again.

However, Sheng Yuan did not give these people time to think seriously.

"Ever since His Majesty intended to have me take over as the First Deputy Governor of the Five Military Command, I guessed that there would be people who would strongly oppose or even resist."

When Sheng Yuan suddenly mentioned this, some people who had petitioned the cabinet and expressed their opposition in real name broke into cold sweats.

Sheng Yuan only needed to take a glance to guess who was dishonest. "At that time, the Marquis of Ancheng also advised me that although I had never served in the army, nor had I ever been stationed in a military camp to make plans and help the Chu Jiang state to be stable, I had defended the capital, fought hard in the border towns, and commanded the people and the people to fight against the enemy and capture the thieves. To be precise, I can be considered a half-military person. If we talk about my military achievements, I deserve to be your colleague!"

Everyone listened in silence, and the corners of their lips trembled at the same time.

  Wow, Sheng Wenzhen is retreating to advance!

Her words revealed that she was not confident and was afraid that she would not be able to convince the others; but if you listened carefully, every word she said clearly showed that she was extremely confident and her self-confidence was so inflated!

If she said this out loud, who would be able to question her qualifications and experience in the future?! She's not an idiot!

"What Governor Sheng said is absolutely right! In the past, the Governor defended the border city, broke the enemy's plan, captured the enemy leader, and made many military achievements. I, who am in Kyoto, have heard of you and admired you very much! Now I am fortunate enough to be deployed by the Governor, and I am honored!"

Just as everyone was savoring Sheng Yuan's words, someone appeared to support them.

This person was not someone else, but the person in charge of the Finance Department, Ke Congyun.

"Master Ke, thank you for the compliment!" Sheng Yuan didn't expect that there would be someone who would support him. No matter what the other party's purpose was, he had done his part.

Since the other party has played a role, Sheng Yuan naturally cannot remain indifferent.

So, Sheng Yuan gave the other person an approving look.

"Haha, I'm not saying this to settle scores, I just want to tell you that I and my colleagues...oh, and the commanders and soldiers of the Five Armies, are just as loyal to the court as you are!" Sheng Yuan still smiled at everyone and raised his voice slowly, "Although you haven't said it explicitly, this is just what I think! But I firmly believe that even though the Five Armies Commander's Office holds great power, they are still loyal to the court, the country, and the emperor."

  After saying these powerful words, Sheng Yuan threw another question before anyone else could express their loyalty:

"Everyone, I... shouldn't be being sentimental, right?!"

  boom!

Although these words were simple, they sounded like thunder to everyone.

  At this moment, everyone had an idea:

Sure enough, Sheng Wenzhen...her true colors were revealed!
