This made Li Shimin anxious, and he wanted to trade one for one with me.

The Censorate, the Imperial Censorate.

When Cheng Jun walked to the entrance of the courtyard hall, he saw Wen Yanbo sitting inside, with his ten fingers pressed on both sides of his forehead, his brows furrowed, and his eyes wide open, looking like Cao Cao having a headache.

Cheng Jun walked in and asked, "Doctor Wen, would you like me to call Hua Tuo over to take a look at you?"

Wen Yanbo looked up and glared angrily, saying, "My head is throbbing like a bucket right now, and you're still trying to make fun of me?"

Cheng Jun solemnly replied, "This humble official is not joking."

"Alright, go and fetch Hua Tuo!"

“I’m already here,” Cheng Jun pointed to himself. “Aren’t I standing in front of Doctor Wen?”

Wen Yanbo laughed angrily, "You still dare to say you're not making fun of me? Do you believe I'll really play Cao Cao and chop you up?"

Cheng Jun smiled, not minding his angry words, after all, Wen Yanbo was someone who had helped him.

He walked over to Wen Yanbo, picked up the bowl of water from the table and handed it to him, saying, "Dr. Wen, calm down. You're so old, why are you getting so worked up over this humble official?"

"Isn't it because of the mess you guys made that I'm so angry?"

Wen Yanbo took the bowl of water and said irritably.

Cheng Jun shrugged and said, "Didn't I already smooth things over for you?"

"So, have you settled things?"

"It's a draw."

Wen Yanbo snorted upon hearing this, not trusting him at all, and asked, "Do you even know what your Ping matter is, that you're back so soon?"

Cheng Jun laughed and said, "It's nothing serious."

"What do you know?" Wen Yanbo glared at him and said, "We are censors. If the Censorate loses so much face, how can we supervise the officials in the future? You don't want to be laughed at to your face by the officials when you go to other government offices, do you? Even if they don't laugh at you to your face, they will definitely talk about you behind your back. If this continues, how will the Censorate maintain its prestige?"

"You have no idea how serious this matter is!"

Cheng Jun solemnly replied, "Actually, I know."

"You know that, yet you still try to provoke me?"

Wen Yanbo said irritably.

Just then, an elderly clerk from the Imperial Academy walked over quickly with an incredulous look on his face and said to Wen Yanbo, "Doctor Wen, a lot of military officers' families have come outside, saying they want to see you!"

Upon hearing this, Wen Yanbo flew into a rage, slammed his fist on the table, and shouted, "Have they eaten too many plums? They're so unreasonable!"

"Tell them to come in!"

Wen Yanbo said angrily, "These military officers really think I'm made of clay. If they don't cause trouble, fine, but they actually dared to send people to the Censorate. I won't be able to vent my anger until I give them a good scolding today!"

"promise!"

The middle-aged or elderly clerk nodded hurriedly and turned to leave.

He quickly ran back, this time with an even more incredulous expression on his face and an excited tone.

"The steward of Princess Luling's residence has arrived—"

"The steward of General Qin Qiong's residence has arrived—"

"The steward of the Duke of Lu's residence has arrived—"

"The steward of Duke Zhang Liang's residence has arrived—"

"The steward of Duke Yuchi Jingde's residence has arrived—"

"The steward of Minister of War Li Jing's residence has arrived—"

"..."

Wen Yanbo stared at him with wide eyes, his voice trembling with anger, "You bastard, whose side are you on? They came to provoke me, and you still dare to announce their names in front of me?"

The middle-aged clerk's voice abruptly stopped. Just as he was about to explain, he saw a large group of people walking towards them.

Wen Yanbo stared at them, about to start cursing, when he suddenly noticed that each of them was carrying an exquisite gift box. He raised an eyebrow and swallowed back the words that were already on his throat.

He turned and glanced at Cheng Jun.

Cheng Jun winked and made a face at him.

Wen Yanbo instantly understood, forcibly suppressing the shock that was like an electric current surging through his heart, and looked at the more than fifty stewards and managers from various prefectures walking towards him.

The stewards and stewards of each military officer's household stood outside the courtyard hall. One of them walked in first, followed by the rest.

"I am the steward of Princess Luling's residence. My princess said that she was in the wrong today, and she specially sent me to the Censorate with this small gift to apologize to Doctor Wen!"

"I am the steward of the Left Martial Guard General's Mansion. My master said that we went too far today. From now on, when the Censorate comes to visit, we will definitely treat them with courtesy. I hope Doctor Wen will forgive us!"

"I am the steward of the Duke of Lu's mansion. My Duke asked me to bring these wound medicines and this money to the clerk who visited my mansion today. My Duke was angry at the time, but now he regrets it and says he shouldn't have done that!"

"I am the steward of the Duke of Changping's mansion. My master said he was not at home today, so the people from the Censorate went but couldn't get an answer. He expressed his deep apologies and sent me to deliver a small gift. Please forgive me, Doctor Wen!"

"I am the steward of the Duke of Wu's residence. My master originally wanted to come in person, but since he was still on duty, he dared not leave his post. Therefore, he specially sent me to deliver this small gift. Please do not take offense, Doctor Wen!"

"I am the steward of the Li family. My master said that Doctor Wen is magnanimous and will not hold it against him, but he was in the wrong first. Therefore, he specially ordered me to bring this small gift to apologize to Doctor Wen!"

……

The main hall of the National Taiwan University was packed with people.

The sudden scene alarmed the Third Hospital.

The Imperial Censor of the Imperial Academy, the Imperial Censor of the Palace Academy, and Ma Zhou and Xiao Yi, who had just arrived from the Censorate, were completely stunned by what they saw.

After careful counting, a total of fifty-eight stewards and managers from the military officers' residences came. Surprisingly, they all had the same purpose: to apologize to the Grand Censor at the Censorate.

Suddenly, everyone's eyes turned to Cheng Jun.

Ma Zhou and Xiao Yi were extremely shocked; he had actually accomplished it.

Wen Yanbo also turned to look at him, his eyes sparkling as if he were looking at a rare treasure.

Cheng Jun met Wen Yanbo's gaze and said somewhat speechlessly, "Dr. Wen, they're apologizing to you, not to me. Why are you looking at me like that?"

“You’re right, they’ve come to apologize.” Wen Yanbo chuckled, slowly rose, and looked at the three censors standing outside the hall:

"Guards, take all their belongings!"

After speaking, he glanced at the fifty-eight stewards and managers of the military officers' residences standing in the courtyard hall, and slowly said:

"I will pretend that nothing happened today. Go back and tell your patriarchs that I accept their apologies on behalf of the Censorate, but there must be no next time!"

Everyone laughed, and the steward of Princess Luling's residence cupped his hands and said, "We will take Doctor Wen's words back with us. If there is nothing else, we will take our leave!"

After saying this, he bowed, straightened up, and instead of leaving, looked at Cheng Jun, smiled, and cupped his hands in a respectful gesture, saying, "Cheng Sanlang, I take my leave!"

After saying this, he took his leave.

The other stewards and managers followed his example, first bowing to Wen Yanbo, then to Cheng Jun, saying "Farewell, Cheng Sanlang," before leaving.

Seeing this scene, everyone was even more shocked. Apart from Wen Yanbo, only Cheng Jun in the Censorate received such treatment. At this moment, everyone began to re-evaluate Cheng Jun.

"What are you all standing outside for? Get to your posts!"

At this moment, accompanied by Wen Yanbo's loud shout, the censors from the three academies all responded and left.

After Wen Yanbo and the others left, he sat back down on the cushion. His brows no longer showed any worry, only comfort. He turned to Cheng Jun and said gently:

"Nephew Cheng..."

Even the way they address each other has changed... Cheng Jun smiled, cupped his hands, and said, "Here!"

Wen Yanbo stopped him from bowing and said solemnly, "I have a very good personal relationship with your father, so you don't need to bow all the time."

"You two are more than ten years apart in age..." Cheng Jun twitched the corner of his mouth and said, "Then when I'm not on duty, I'll call Doctor Wen 'Uncle'."

"So good!"

Wen Yanbo nodded with a broad smile, then asked curiously, "Nephew Cheng, how did you manage to get them all to come to the Censorate to apologize?"
