The disgraced official I took care of was actually Zhu Houcong's childhood friend.

Chapter 415

This question confused Yan Song even more, but he still answered Zhou Chu's question truthfully.

"In my spare time, I have read some stories about Sun Wukong and Tang Xuanzang. There are many versions, and I have only read one of them."

Yan Song said.

Zhou Chu nodded upon hearing this.

"If the Jade Emperor wanted to make changes to the Heavenly Court and the Three Realms, but didn't want to do it personally, what should he do?"

Zhou Chu looked at Yan Song and continued to ask.

Upon hearing this, Yan Song thought for a moment, recalling Zhou Chu's earlier mention of Sun Wukong, and immediately had his answer.

"Then let Sun Wukong cause trouble, turn the world upside down, and beat up everyone in heaven. Whether they agree or not, they'll have to agree."

Zhou Chu was not surprised by Yan Song's answer. If he couldn't even understand this point, then he would have wasted his time in officialdom.

"So we need a Sun Wukong to cause trouble in Jiangnan Province. We need to follow the rules when we do things, but Sun Wukong doesn't. You, Lord Yan, also need to suffer some grievances. The more grievances you suffer, the greater your contribution will be after the performance evaluation system is successfully implemented."

Zhou Chu took a bite of the pastry and said.

Upon hearing this, Yan Song's eyes lit up. Only then did he realize, as if struck by lightning, that Zhou Chu's plan was fully understood.

"Sir, it's not easy to find a suitable candidate to play Sun Wukong."

Yan Song was somewhat uncertain.

"What a coincidence, there really is such a suitable candidate by my side."

After saying this, Zhou Chu looked at Shen Lian beside him.

"Go and call Yang Shengzhai over."

Upon hearing this, Shen Lian immediately left the courtyard where Zhou Chu was and went to find Yang Shengzhai.

"Yang Shengzhai?"

Yan Song was puzzled when he heard the name. He didn't know much about Yang Yiqing's grandson. He only knew Yang Yiqing's son. He did know that Yang Yiqing had two or three grandsons, but he didn't know their names.

"Yang Shengzhai is the Grand Secretary's beloved grandson."

Zhou Chu seemed to be pointing something out.

Upon hearing this, Yan Song suddenly realized Yang Shengzhai's identity, and his eyes shone even brighter.

"Sun Wukong needs to have a strong background and status to cause trouble at will. If he didn't have a strong background and status, who would dare to wreak havoc in the Heavenly Palace?"

Zhou Chu looked at Yan Song and said.

"Your Excellency is truly a man of extraordinary wisdom and strategy; I am far inferior to you."

Yan Song flattered him.

Zhou Chu just smiled when he heard this, without replying.

Soon, Yang Shengzhai followed Shen Lian to Zhou Chu and Yan Song.

"The student has met the teacher."

Yang Shengzhai approached Zhou Chu and bowed respectfully.

Yang Shengzhai was originally somewhat unconventional. Even in the Yang family, he was not very convinced of his father and grandfather, but he was completely convinced of Zhou Chu's abilities.

Since joining the academy, and especially after Zhou Chu's assassination, Yang Shengzhai has learned too much about Zhou Chu. The things Zhou Chu did alone have made Yang Shengzhai extremely admire him.

Not to mention that Zhou Chu also taught them the science of investigating things, showing them many phenomena that Yang Shengzhai had never even thought of, making him extremely enthusiastic about the science of investigating things.

"I'm planning to have you join the Embroidered Uniform Guard and become a commander of a thousand men. Are you willing?"

Zhou Chu looked at Yang Shengzhai and asked.

Yang Shengzhai was stunned when he heard this, and Chen Zhao, who was next to him, almost cursed.

Shen Lian, on the other hand, was extremely familiar with Zhou Chu's style of doing things and was not surprised at all.

Yang Shengzhai is only fourteen years old now, and he has no experience in officialdom before. Chen Zhao, on the other hand, has worked hard for many years to become a commander of a thousand households.

The fourteen-year-old boy in front of me started as a commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, personally appointed by the commander himself. Who can I complain to?

However, Chen Zhao only thought about it and didn't feel any resentment. He had heard Zhou Chu and Yan Song's conversation clearly and knew exactly what the young man was going to do.

He couldn't do those things, nor did he dare to. Just thinking about them made his scalp tingle.

"The students just want to immerse themselves in the study of natural philosophy."

Yang Shengzhai hesitated for a moment.

"The study of natural sciences is certainly necessary, and there will be plenty of time to study it later. There's no need to rush. You should join the Embroidered Uniform Guard and do something for me."

Zhou Chu looked at Yang Shengzhai and spoke patiently.

Zhou Chu quite liked this student who was obsessed with the study of natural philosophy.

Upon hearing this, Yang Shengzhai knew he couldn't refuse. Being able to help his teacher was something Yang Shengzhai was happy about.

What tasks did the teacher ask the students to do?

Yang Shengzhai asked.

"Investigate this Lord Yan."

Zhou Chu smiled.

Upon hearing this, Yang Shengzhai looked at Zhou Chu, then at Yan Song beside him, his face full of doubt.
