"How come...suddenly such a zeal for learning?"
Meng Yunzheng smiled and got serious, "Yu, I want to participate in the imperial examinations."
Shu Yu was stunned, "You want to enter the court as an official?" After saying that, she frowned and shook her head, "No, that's not right; with what you're currently doing, if he truly ascends to that position in the future, you could be an official as rewards for your achievements. There's no need to climb up step by step through the exams."
Within a year at most, the Fifth Prince could become the Emperor.
Meng Yunzheng's scholarship and abilities were extremely outstanding; the Fifth Prince was well aware of this, knowing that as long as he handled several solid achievements, he would be able to rise in rank and participate in the policymaking just the same.
For some people, perhaps passing the examinations was the only path. But for Meng Yunzheng, this path was instead complex and slow.
