Chapter 947 - 941 Persuading Him
"If that’s the case, what do you have to worry about? They’ve all been through your hands, and you know them well. Just because I didn’t choose one doesn’t mean I’m shutting them out. On the contrary, it’s fairest to them. I’m not related by marriage to any family, so I’m clean and unbiased. I think, the clever ones should know what to do."
Jin Zijin’s words didn’t meet with the Emperor’s opposition, but he couldn’t help but sigh in resignation, "You’re making sense, but unfortunately there aren’t many clever people in this world."
"That’s alright, just having the clever few is enough for me."
The two of them exchanged words, both calm and even-tempered in their discussion.
They attempted to convince each other, but it seemed that neither could persuade the other.
That their conversation hadn’t escalated to a point of intense confrontation was truly miraculous.
As noon approached and mealtime was nearing, they continued to banter one sentence at a time, still calm and occasionally, a strange smile could be seen on their faces.
The eunuch standing outside felt the scene was very odd. He could only occasionally hear a word or two, not knowing what they were discussing.

The Emperor accepted the cup of tea handed to him and, warming his hands, said, "You’ve just returned and are not familiar with the Imperial Court. Court matters are not as simple as those of the Dao Family, where you only need to deal with Xuanzong.
