Once these matters are settled, Lian Musu will first go to Divine Doctor Huang to treat his leg. After the leg is completely healed, it will be around springtime, and he will then depart for another place.
At this moment, he found Minister Jia, those scholars, Old Lady Wu, and others in the crowd, formally thanked each of them, and then took Lian Wanzhen and Wu Sheng to Minister Fan's residence.
Minister Fan, the old fox, was in low spirits at that moment. What use was it to win a verbal battle with the officials? He couldn't pass His Majesty's test, and couldn't even protect the status of his favored disciple. He would be delayed for several more years, and what face would he have to accept disciples?
Though Lian Musu achieved Jieyuan at the age of twenty-six, quite remarkable, how many years can a peerless minister afford to waste? Three years is a chasm, especially now that the court has punished many people, leaving many vacancies, it's an excellent opportunity to fill them.
