Entering the capital now carried a different significance. According to the Emperor's esteem for Minister Zhou, it was said that these days, Minister Zhou had been giving lectures to the Emperor and Crown Prince in the Palace. This was indeed extraordinary—it showed just how highly the Emperor valued Minister Zhou's talent.
With the Emperor backing him, Minister Zhou's career path was smooth. Zhou Changlian, with such a good father to protect him, had a promising future.
Changlian hadn't heard his father mention this, but he had guessed as much. Still, he couldn't say it out loud. If his father was truly going to the capital, he needed to be even more prudent at this critical juncture, "I haven't heard about this. Alright, stop guessing wildly, everyone focus on their own tasks."
Mr. Lv returned to his seat with a smile, thinking that he still needed to follow Zhou Changlian. As for Shen Yang's overtures to him, he was better off ignoring them.
