Xu Changqing's words made Xu Junlou stunned for a moment. He hurriedly asked, "Uncle, why is this?"

Xu Changqing glanced at Xu Junlou and sighed: "Now the conflict between the cabinet and the East Palace is almost on the surface. If I expected it, the great changes will come soon."

"This huge change can only have one winner. When you say that at this time, is it a good or a bad thing to participate?"

Xu Junlou immediately said when he heard this: "I have studied hard for more than ten years in order to wear a black hat, realize my ideals and ambitions, and benefit the local people. How can I retreat because of these struggles for power and profit? Besides, I just don't participate in those things. Just do my own thing well, no one will deal with me, a small role, right?"

Xu Changqing glared at Xu Junlou and scolded, "Childish!"

"The situation in the court has changed. This year's scientific examination was labeled as the East Palace from the beginning because of the prince's intervention."

"Political struggle is party struggle. Since it is party struggle, we must naturally eliminate the root cause."

"If the Eastern Palace loses in this huge change, both you, my uncle and nephew will not have a good ending. Do you think you can stay out of the matter if you turn a blind eye to the outside world? It's too simple to think."

Xu Changqing's words made Xu Junlou's expression a little ugly.

He asked in a low voice: "Uncle, what should I do now?"

Xu Changqing sighed and said, "Since I didn't stop you before, it means I have already agreed. I have figured it out, even if you don't participate in this scientific test, what can you do? You can't escape it."

"If the Eastern Palace fails, I will definitely lose my official position and my life. How can you, as my nephew, be alone?"

"If the Eastern Palace wins, you will participate in this palace examination and get a good ranking, then when the crown prince ascends the throne tomorrow, you will be considered a hero who will join the new prince when he was in the crown prince's mansion, which will make your future journey much easier."

"So since the worst result is the same and the good result can be better, we naturally have to choose the best option."

After listening carefully, Xu Junlou bowed respectfully and said, "Uncle thought deeply, and nephew admired him."

Xu Changqing waved his hand and said, "The Xu family has passed down to your generation. The population has withered. I am two brothers with your father. Your father has passed away in an accident. Although you and I are uncle and nephew, I have no children, so I have always trained you as my own son. When the Xu family comes to you, you are already the only seedling."

"So, you don't need to be too polite between you and me. As long as I have it, I will help you."

These words touched Xu Junlou very much.

He said solemnly: "Uncle, my nephew is not a plant or a tree. Who can be ruthless? Isn't that a person who doesn't understand the truth? I know my uncle's efforts and good deeds to my nephew, and my nephew will remember it in my heart."

Smiling with satisfaction, Xu Changqing said, "It's the best, it's getting late, go and have a rest early, everything, I'll talk about it after the results are released. I guess it will take three or five days, and it may be faster. At that time, depending on your ranking, I will help you find a good position no matter what."

"Thank you uncle."

The conversation between the uncle and nephew ended here.

Xu Changqing thought that the result of this palace examination would take as long as a few days to come out, but he was beaten by a gong and drum on the street the next morning.
