The journey of the only child of a peasant family to take the imperial examination

At this time, the other ministers accompanying him were already stunned with astonishment.

I have seen people asking for official positions, begging for mercy, and filing complaints, all kinds of people, but I have never seen anyone asking Your Majesty to allow them to be a widower for the rest of their lives.

The most angry one among them was Master Qian. He had already found a suitable candidate for his successor in the clan, but now someone was holding him back.

"You're still young!" Master Qian sighed. Only when you're young can you have such pure emotions and determination.

When you get old, everything is about interests and reality.

It doesn't matter whether there is affection or love.

Zhou Ziming was silent for a moment before he calmly asked, "My dear, have you thought it through? You must know that I never joke!"

"Your Majesty, I have thought about it. This is what I wish for. I hope Your Majesty will grant my approval!" Zhang Ping'an replied in a firm tone.

"What do you think about this matter, Grand Tutor?" Zhou Ziming did not respond in a hurry, but turned to ask Grand Tutor Qian.

The ball has been passed to Master Qian.

Master Qian secretly sighed at the emperor's cunningness. As the emperor's father-in-law, how could he respond to such words?

It is not right to agree, and it is not right to refuse.

And if Zhang Ping'an regrets it in the future, he will only blame himself.

After pondering it over, Grand Tutor Qian bowed and replied, "Your Majesty, my daughter is unlucky and cannot grow old with my son-in-law. Every time I think of this, I am deeply saddened. I understand my son-in-law's infatuation, but the Zhang family truly needs a virtuous wife to manage the household and raise the children. Moreover, my grandson is still young and needs someone to look after him. If my daughter knew about this, she would probably not want my son-in-law to be so exhausted and lonely. Therefore, I think it would be best for my son-in-law to marry another wife in the future!"

Zhou Ziming didn't say anything after hearing this, but just looked at Zhang Pingan again, waiting for his final decision.

Zhang Ping'an was not shaken by this and kowtowed again to plead.

Zhou Ziming didn't know what he was thinking about, his eyes were very complicated, and after a while he nodded and said: "Since my dear minister is so devoted, then I will fulfill your wish!"

This is what is meant by the promise.

Zhang Pingan bowed and thanked him: "I bow to thank you for your grace!"

"Get up!" Zhou Ziming said and rode back to the camp first.

Zhang Pingan and others followed closely behind.

The others were fine, but the Privy Councilor, Lord Guo, had a look of gloating on his face that he couldn't hide at all.

You have to know that for a man, especially a rich and powerful man, wanting to keep himself clean and pure is nothing but a fantasy.

Although there are definitely some, the number of people in history can be counted on one’s fingers.

Zhang Pingan is still so young, he doesn't think he can hold on.

In response to this, Zhang Pingan rolled his eyes at his boss without any hesitation when he passed by him, and was too lazy to say anything.

Time will prove everything!

Just as these people didn't understand Zhang Ping'an, Zhang Ping'an actually found it difficult to understand why some people would sleep with all kinds of women just for momentary physical pleasure.

He felt disgusted from the bottom of his heart.

Maybe he really has a mental obsession with cleanliness, or something else. Who cares? He should make his own decisions about his feelings.

Being a human being is difficult enough. If even your emotions are controlled by others, life will be too difficult.

Although Master Qian's plan failed, he looked fine on the surface, but he couldn't help sighing in his heart.

After returning to the camp, before the horse had even stopped, I saw Xiao Yuer rushing up first.

He raised his hands happily beside the horse and said, "Dad, I've been waiting for you for a long time. I've been so good. Come on, carry me up. I heard you guys hunted two big brown bears, and I want to see them!"

"Okay, Dad will carry you up," Zhang Ping'an said with a smile, feeling relieved.

The child from the Wang family next to him followed suit and raised his hands to ask Lord Wang to carry him onto the horse. Lord Wang was old and was exhausted after traveling for half a day. How could he have any energy left?

He simply waved his hand, asked the servants to help, and went back to the tent to rest.

"Your father is still the best!" Wang Qingtan was unhappy and envious again.
