Almost everyone thought that Chu Xiu was dead, and how deep the water in the capital was, ordinary people who had lived here for countless years were very clear.

Seeing that Chu Xiu has no background, but he has offended so many families, and if he wants to mix in Kyoto, I am afraid it will be difficult.

"Alas, this Chu Xiu is still too young."

"I have offended so many people, I am really not afraid of death!"

"But it's normal to think about it, he has achieved such an achievement at a young age, and it is normal for people to be proud."

Just when everyone was talking about Chu Xiu, this matter finally reached the palace.

Above the main hall, the candle flame was swaying, even if the night was dark, Emperor Dayan was still correcting the music, perhaps tired, he picked up the teacup next to him, drank it all, and then leaned lazily on the wheelchair.

"How was the selection of young officers going this time?"

The emperor casually looked at the eunuch beside him.

An old eunuch hurriedly stood up and replied respectfully.

"Pretty much the same as you predicted."

"Several major families are going crazy to attract talents, and they are almost no longer hidden."

The emperor's expression was still casual, but the old eunuch could see that the emperor's eyes had flashed with murderous intent.

"It seems that they really don't plan to leave me with any talents."

The old eunuch pondered for a moment, hesitating whether to report Chu Xiu's matter or not.

After a moment, the old eunuch made up his mind and said.

"Your Majesty, it's not that all talents will be co-opted."

"I heard that a young officer named Chu Xiu was very strong, and he rejected Ji Chunshen and Wei Wuji's wooing in front of the public."

"The other families are basically closed, and they don't give them a good look."

"And Wei Wuji is inviting him, he once said very clearly, he will only be loyal to the court, and he will only be loyal to His Majesty."

After hearing this, Emperor Dayan raised his head with interest.

As the de facto ruler of the empire, every young general who was promoted was loyal to him. But in fact, these generals will secretly have a good relationship with those families, and it is actually unknown who they are loyal to.

And on the surface, Chu Xiu seems to be the first to break with several major families.

The Emperor said with interest.

"Find this Chu Xiu's personal information, I want to take a look."

The old eunuch nodded hurriedly and turned his head to search for Chu Xiu's information.

Soon, all of Chu Xiu's personnel information was sent.

"Your Majesty, please take a look!"

The emperor took Chu Xiu's information, looked at it carefully, and found that Chu Xiu's personal resume was indeed quite exciting, all aspects of his resume were taken care of, he was definitely a talent that could be created, and the most important thing was that he was promoted by the ancestor, no wonder there were those big families who kept their distance, this is absolutely their own people.

Emperor Dayan nodded with satisfaction, and then said.

"This Chu Xiu is very good, it must be protected!"

"You notify it now, as long as it is about Chu Xiu, it will all be approved, and there is no need for approval!"

He knew very well that Chu Xiu had offended so many big families, and the other party would definitely retaliate.

It's just that considering the identity and status, it is impossible to fight in the streets like a gangster.

It is impossible to blatantly find trouble with Chu Xiu, but it is still very possible to stumble behind Chu Xiu's back and make a black hand.

He is doing this now to show everyone an attitude that Chu Xiu is his own person.

The old eunuch nodded, and hurriedly ordered His Majesty the Emperor's order.

"No!"

Those big families, including Ji Chunshen and Wei Wuji and others, originally planned to brush off Chu Xiu directly through their personal resumes.

Anyway, the right to approve is in their hands, they say that Chu Xiu is not qualified, and Chu Xiu may not even have the opportunity to participate in the trial.

However, the embarrassing thing is that His Majesty the Emperor personally gave the order, and Chu Xiu had a green light all the way, and he couldn't stop it at all.

Everyone including Ji Chunshen looked embarrassed.

"It seems that this matter has reached the ears of the emperor."

"The emperor personally wants to protect Chu Xiu, and I'm afraid it will be difficult for us to stop it."

"This..."

"It seems that I can only find a way to brush Chu Xiu down during the written test."

These families are full of contradictions with each other, but they have one thing in common, that is, to expand their power and resist the pressure of the emperor.

Therefore, in the face of the emperor's protection, not only did they not flinch, but they also strengthened their opinion, and they must find a way to kill Chu Xiu.

At this time, Chu Xiu also realized his danger, although he was pointed, he knew that he should be perfectly loyal to the emperor.

But for those big families, he also didn't dare to despise them.

These people are entrenched in the center of the imperial court, and they have incomparably strong strength in the local area, and Chu Xiu doesn't know if he can survive it safely.

"Whew!"

Leaning back on the sofa, Chu Xiu took a deep breath.

"I'm really uncertain about my future right now!"

"I wonder what those big families will do to me?"

When Chu Xiu was extremely worried, the officials of Sima Mansion personally ran to Chu Xiu's pavilion, but this time their attitude was no longer indifferent, but their faces were full of smiles, and they even looked a little flattering.

The official said with a smile.

"General Chu!"

"I've been ordered by the head to send you a schedule."

"It's all on the calendar for your upcoming races, so you can take a look."

Feeling the change in the other party's attitude before and after, Chu Xiu felt a little dazed, and didn't quite understand why the other party did this?

Chu Xiu has already offended the family, normally speaking, these people should not give themselves any good looks, why do they seem so polite?

Chu Xiu also had a smile on his face, and took the documents sent by the other party.

"Thank you, General!"

After Chu Xiu sent the official messenger away, the whole person couldn't help but fall into deep thought, and he was constantly recalling what the official messenger said.

"This man said that he came here now on orders from above, could it be that the higher authorities are deliberately protecting me?"

"Who could this person be?"

Chu Xiu guessed that someone would protect him, but he couldn't guess that this person would be the emperor.

But for Chu Xiu, it doesn't matter, he just needs to know that he is not alone.

"Whew!"

"I shouldn't have to worry about my safety in the future, this is in the capital, and they won't turn their faces against me in the open."

"I just don't know, who is this person who protects me, and whether he is reliable or not?"
