The Emperor listened to this news and was quite amused.
Who would have guessed that the hot potato from three years ago would become a sought-after bun today?
Although the Emperor has been paying attention to Chicheng County and horse farm matters for the past few years, he truly did not know that Chicheng County had changed so much.
He retrieved the memorial written by Song Chongjin and the evaluation from the Ministry of Personnel and examined them carefully once more.
The Emperor had made up his mind.
For the moment, he held back the decree to retain Song Chongjin's position, while also encouraging the intrigue to see who would emerge to seize this opportunity.
With the Emperor's order, who would dare to be slow?
The people at the Ministry of Personnel received the order and did not refuse anyone; whoever came to inquire about the position of Chicheng County Prefect was registered, and various bribery gifts were accepted under imperial decree.
