However, his words were met with the typical disdain of a person looking at a retard and Zhou Sheng couldn't help but scold the two of them inside his heart.

When neither of them seemed to budge from their decision, Zhou Sheng left the Imperial Study in a huff and Su Li smiled at his antics but soon enough turned her attention towards Ning Fu.

She heard his report on the various Imperial Officials the First Prince has been in contact with.

The next few hours were spent in the same back and forth between Su Li and Ning Fu.

During their subsequent talk, Ning Fu marveled at the fact that the monarch not only had a keen mind that paid attention to the minutest detail but the other person also thought in the long term and planned accordingly.

He once again wondered what changes and prosperity the proud Son of Heaven would bring about with his ideas.

Though he was happy that the monarch seemed to have come out of his funk and was making solid, concrete plans to tackle people eyeing the Imperial power, he couldn't help but worry about the future.

They walked in companionable silence when Su Li questioned.

”Unit Commander, even though you have spent most of your time in the army, you spent your formative years in the Imperial capital, didn't you?”

”Yes, Your Majesty.”

”Then tell Zhen about your impression of the various first and second rank civil officers in court.”

When Ning Fu opened his mouth to answer the question, the monarch waved his hand.
