Born a phoenix? The husband I picked up is the young emperor

Chapter 1958

Shi Chengxuan was different now! He decided... to study hard and achieve success.

He just didn't believe it. His son and daughter were so smart... no, they were so smart, how could he be any worse?

His smart bloodline is about to awaken! It can't be stopped!

On the first day of his study, Shi Chengxuan woke up at the sound of the rooster crowing, sat down at his desk, and then... fell into a sound sleep.

Chang Wu silently covered his master with a thin blanket. He did not have high expectations for his master, and thought that being able to sit up from the bed before dawn was a great improvement.

Shi Chengxuan slept at the table until noon and said angrily, "Chang Wu, why didn't you wake me up? Do you know how much you delayed my work?"

Chang Wu was helpless, "Then I'll wake you up tomorrow?"

"You must wake me up!" How can I study if I don't wake you up? How can I pass the imperial examination if I don't study?

Shi Chengxuan ate a bowl of porridge in the morning, nodding while eating, feeling sleepy! He fell asleep again and slept until dusk.

Chang Wu was scolded again.

Chang Wu was inconsolable, "Master, I called you, but you didn't wake up."

"So it's all my fault?" Shi Chengxuan didn't bother to pay attention to him and walked out of the yard with his hands behind his back.

The mansion is very lively.

The red lacquer threshold of the Marquis of Jian'an's mansion had half an inch of red paint worn off by the official boots of congratulatory officials in the past few days.

There was an endless stream of guests coming to congratulate the emperor, and the gifts piled up like a mountain, filling up three storerooms. The housekeepers were so busy that they had no time to rest, and the names on the gift list were dizzying.

The four large gold-plated characters "Heguogong Mansion" shine brightly, replacing the former plaque "Jian'anhou Mansion".

Shi Chengxuan stood under the plaque with his hands behind his back, feeling quite proud and satisfied.

However, Shi Yunqi was not in high spirits. His mother had disappeared and there had been no news of her since then, which had cast an indelible shadow over his heart.

The Shi family members were all very happy, boasting about their ancestors' glory whenever they met someone. Their ancestors had also produced a duke, but that was only recorded in the family tree.

Anyone with a discerning eye could see that Shi Yunqi was able to be conferred the title of Duke at this age, mostly thanks to his second wife, the future Empress Dowager Tang Chujun, who had divorced and left the palace.

The emperor wants to raise the status of Tang Chujun's children!

What is even more intriguing is that everyone gradually discovered a pattern: all the students who graduated from Yunqi Academy actually rose to prominence and received the emperor's favor.

Let’s just say that Gu Boyan was transferred back to the capital from Mozhou, and was promoted from the fourth-rank prefect of Mozhou to the fourth-rank secretary of the Secretariat.

Although the rank has not changed, the gap from local to central level is a chasm that many officials have been unable to cross even after working hard to get their hair turned white.

Xiao Changle, the former top scholar, had a similar situation to Gu Boyan. After being exiled for a few years, he returned to Beijing and was promoted to the fourth rank of Zhongshu Shilang.

The other Lu Sangyu, in addition to being a fourth-rank assistant minister of the Ministry of Justice, also holds an important position in the Northern Propaganda Department.

What was even more shocking was that the three of them were allowed to participate in the compilation of the Northern Wing Code. This was an honor that even many second-rank officials would only dream of.

The top three candidates in that session were all gathered together, and they were all pillars of the court and new elites in the capital.

Everyone knows that Emperor Zhaowu loves talents.

The Emperor has not been to court for many days, perhaps he is busy with his wedding preparations...
