three hundred years later
Recently, Taichen Palace posted a notice on the "Si Ming Audition" to select a batch of new Si Ming in the Immortal Realm. There are no requirements for identity, gender, and age in the audition, and all talented people can participate.
As soon as the announcement of the "Si Ming Auditions" came out, the normally idle Taichen Palace suddenly became busy! The maids of Taichen Palace came in and out, moved, climbed and stepped down quickly to arrange the audition venue.
Even Emperor Donghua, who usually likes to play chess with himself, started to get busy. Today, Chao Hui Tianjun asked Emperor Donghua for the registration list for the "Si Ming Hai Selection". It seemed that he was particularly concerned about this "Si Ming Hai Selection".
Three hundred years ago, Tianjun would never interfere with the affairs of Emperor Donghua's internal affairs. Even if he decided to make such a major decision as to who should be promoted to the position of Chief Minister, Tianjun would undoubtedly make the decision by Emperor Donghua.
However, three hundred years later, everything changed. Tianjun was no longer so trusting of Emperor Donghua, and was even a little suspicious!
Emperor Donghua responded to Tianjun in a nonchalant manner: The registration time for the "Si Ming Audition" has not yet closed. When the registration time for the "Si Ming Audition" closes, I will definitely let Young Master Siming take over the "Si Ming Audition". "The list of contestants is presented.
Emperor Donghua replied without saltiness. Of course Tianjun felt a little unhappy, but he didn't dare to show a trace of displeasure on his face. Because Tianjun knew that his throne was abdicated by Emperor Donghua.
After the court meeting, Emperor Donghua returned to Taichen Palace and ordered immediately. Young Siming Ziguo submitted the list of contestants for the "Si Ming Auditions" to review in person.
Emperor Donghua flipped open the list of contestants for the "Si Ming Audition" with ease. The names of the contestants were densely packed. It seemed that there were many more contestants in this "Si Ming Audition" than in previous years.
Emperor Donghua's eyes paused at the name 'Dongfang Yu'er', and he murmured: "Yu'er, why did she come to compete..."
Young Siming beside him curiously asked: "Emperor, what's wrong with this entry list? Who is Yu'er?"
Emperor Donghua glanced at Shao Siming, who was so frightened that Shao Siming was stunned. Shao Siming knew that Emperor Donghua never liked others to speculate on his thoughts.
"Zi Guo made a mistake again. The emperor once taught him a lesson. Don't ask if you shouldn't ask."
Emperor Donghua sighed deeply: "Yu'er is the daughter of Da Si Ming Dongfang Su."
Young Siming was surprised and said: "But I have worked with Da Siming for a hundred years, and I have never heard Da Siming say that he has a daughter."
"Actually, after Da Siming was condemned by Tianjun, I went to visit the wilderness and found out that he actually had a daughter named Dongfang Yu'er. For some reason... he seemed to be very indifferent to this daughter!"
Suddenly Emperor Donghua seemed to realize that something important was about to happen. "Zi Guo, go to Wenchang Palace quickly and ask Emperor Wenchang to come to Taichen Palace. He said that I have something urgent to discuss with him."
Shao Siming bowed to Emperor Donghua and rushed to Wenchang Hall to invite Emperor Wenchang!
A moment later, Emperor Wenchang came to Taichen Palace with his colorful auspicious clouds, and saw Xu Siming scolding the palace maids and setting up the venue for the "Si Ming Auditions".
Emperor Wenchang did not need to be received by the maids, and went directly to Taichen Palace. He saw Emperor Donghua sitting on the pear blossom tree with a leisurely look on his face, and he was playing chess with him, not as eager as Shao Siming said.
Emperor Wenchang grinned and laughed loudly: "Brother Donghua, what do you want from Brother Wenchang?"
Emperor Donghua and Emperor Wenchang have the same level, they are both emperors. But Emperor Donghua was the righteous god of ancient times, and he was much higher in seniority than Emperor Wenchang, and he was once the co-lord of the three realms. Emperor Donghua and Emperor Wenchang had a very good personal relationship, and they treated each other like brothers in private. So Emperor Donghua, who was of higher rank, naturally called him brother, and Emperor Wenchang, who was of lower rank, called him brother.
"Brother Wenchang, please sit down first. I have a favor to ask of you today!" Emperor Donghua replied.
Emperor Wenchang sat down unceremoniously, picked up a chess piece and chatted with Emperor Donghua while playing chess.
"Brother Donghua would ask Brother Wenchang for help, what a joke!"
Emperor Wenchang said this because he knew that Emperor Donghua was so powerful in the three realms that even the Emperor of Heaven had to give in. Is there anything in the world that Emperor Donghua could not accomplish? "
Emperor Donghua said solemnly: "Brother Wenchang, look at me, do I seem to be joking with you today?"
After hearing what Emperor Donghua said, Emperor Wenchang raised his head to look at Emperor Donghua. Sure enough, today, Brother Donghua's face became very solemn, even a little sad.
With thousands of years of experience as an old friend, Emperor Wenchang knew that brother Donghua did need help from him today.
Emperor Wenchang patted his chest and said, "What can Brother Donghua do to Brother Wenchang? I will definitely go through fire and water..."
"I don't need to go through fire and water, I just need to borrow someone from you."
Hahaha!
Borrow someone! Little things! Little things!
I don’t know, who does Brother Donghua want to borrow?
Emperor Donghua responded directly without thinking: "Wenquxingjun - Sima Ao", this tone seemed to determine the Wenquxingjun - Sima Ao.
Emperor Wenchang was stunned when he heard Emperor Donghua spit out the words "Wenquxingjun Sima Ao". Wenquxingjun Sima Ao was Emperor Wenchang's beloved disciple, and he didn't know how long Emperor Donghua would borrow this person. Will you borrow it and never return it...
Emperor Donghua was a little hesitant when he saw Emperor Wenchang, knowing that Brother Wenchang was reluctant to lend someone to him. But that's right. A thousand-year-old prodigy like Sima Ao, who not only has outstanding literary talent but also has excellent magic skills, would not be able to let it go if it were him.
Emperor Donghua asked in a probing tone: "It seems that Brother Wenchang is reluctant to let go?"
"No, no, no, I asked for it, and I won't be reluctant to part with it! I'll lend you the person!"
"Don't worry! I'm just borrowing this person to be the examiner for this "Si Ming Audition". When the "Si Ming Audition" is over, he will return to Zhao intact."
Emperor Wenchang was puzzled. The appointment of Siming has always been decided by Brother Donghua alone; even if Brother Donghua does not do it himself, there are still Shao Siming and Xu Siming; It is run by someone from outside the government.
"Brother Donghua, the "Si Ming Audition" is a matter of your inner government. It should be appropriate for someone from your inner government to serve as the examiner. Why borrow a person from the outer government to serve as the examiner?"
"I want to avoid suspicion. I'm not so confident about Young Siming's work, and I'm even more worried about Xu Siming..."
After saying this, Emperor Donghua took out a scroll from his sleeve and handed it to Emperor Wenchang.
Emperor Wenchang knew that Emperor Donghua had something to say, so he stopped asking. He took Emperor Donghua's book with ease, opened it and saw that it was the list of contestants for the "Si Ming Auditions".
Emperor Wenchang was stunned when he saw the words "Dongfang Jade" in the list. I know very well that brother Donghua was filled with guilt for being punished by the Heavenly Lord for ordering Dongfang Sculpture, and he still can’t let go of it!
This is all the nightmare that happened three hundred years ago. However, the nightmare three hundred years ago has not ended yet...
Emperor Donghua looked up to the sky and sighed: "I, Emperor Donghua, have never been ashamed of anyone, except my great commander..."
"Then what does Brother Donghua want Sima Ao to do? I'll tell him!"
Emperor Donghua responded calmly: "It just needs to be notarized."
"Notarization?" Emperor Wenchang asked puzzledly.
Emperor Donghua just smiled slightly and did not respond to Emperor Wenchang.
Although Emperor Wenchang didn't understand Emperor Donghua's intention, he readily agreed, said goodbye to Emperor Donghua, and returned to Wenchang Palace with his colorful auspicious clouds.
