At this moment, Emperor Tang was quite satisfied, looking at the six people below, "Thus, the appointments for various positions in this imperial examination have finally been settled… Court is dismissed."

Emperor Tang paused, then suddenly spoke, "The newly appointed Minister of the Ministry of War, someone will take you to get familiar with your position. Prepare yourself, and come to the Imperial Study to see me in the afternoon."

"Yes."

Zhu Zhengwei responded.

He stepped down from the court hall.

The surroundings immediately turned into an uproar, with many people gradually gathering around.

"Congratulations!"

"Congratulations!"

Countless people surrounded Zhu Zhengwei, looking him up and down and beginning to befriend and invite him.

They were all very curious about this newly appointed power figure in the dynasty.

Even Bill Hughes was surprised, leaning over from the side and saying, "Unprecedented. As far as I know, no one has ever been appointed as Prime Minister in this way. Even those rare geniuses from the imperial examination… said to have Celestial Dao level talents, have to undergo long adjustments. Now to ascend to the position of Prime Minister is unprecedented."

Zhu Zhengwei was silent for a moment.

He greeted and flattered the various ministers nearby.

Finally, Zhu Zhengwei bid farewell to everyone and cupped his fists, "Everyone, I must return and prepare today, as I have to see His Majesty in the afternoon. Please excuse me."

"So it should be."

"So it should be."

"On another day, come to our mansion for tea."

...

Zhu Zhengwei soon, accompanied by a steward, arrived at the Prime Minister's Mansion and began settling in.

In fact, there wasn't much that needed settling, so he casually tidied up and sat in the luxurious flower garden of the Prime Minister's Mansion, admiring the scenery. "The environment here is indeed decadent…"

Zhu Zhengwei sat on a chair, lost in thought.

He felt that today was indeed absurd…

One court session unpredictably diverted him in an unexpected direction, directly exposing him.

From a marginal position akin to a "Stable Cleaner," a groom, he became the "Great Sage Equal to Heaven" in the blink of an eye. If there's no problem, that would be strange.

"There is definitely a problem."

"What position is the Minister of the Ministry of War? It controls the military power of the Great Tang! The real power among powers!!!"

"And what is the work of the Minister of the Ministry of War right now? I know it well, for example, commanding expeditions to the Outer Realm Chaos and managing military power in that area!"

Can such a good thing be given to me?

If I truly control all military power of the Great Tang, wouldn't I be in for great profits?

Wouldn't I have various personal agendas in exploring battles beyond the Milky Way, finding alien civilizations, secretly developing myself?

There is definitely a problem!

How can such a good thing fall from the sky??

"No matter the situation now, it's certain that I've been discovered to have 'talents'."

Zhu Zhengwei calculated in his heart, his face slightly darkening, "After all, I alone completed 70% of the work at the Chariot and Horse Institute. Well played, Emperor Tang, with no sense of humanity…"

Zhu Zhengwei had already imagined a naively ignorant young man being secretly observed by Emperor Tang and, after discovering his uniqueness, was crazily assigned various tasks to test him.

"Oh, he can handle this work too?"

"Interesting, then let him try this next task."

"Ah, the progress of this project at the Chariot and Horse Institute is stuck. Next time it's restarted, let him give it a try. After all, those capable should do more."

"He can break through this too? Then how about trying this one next?"

...

One can only say, without any martial virtues.

After all, Li Shimin in Chang'an City, with an overseeing gaze, continually orchestrates the operations of the Great Tang dynasty, monitoring countless ministers, adjusting their job suitability, discovering my multifaceted adaptable talents was inevitable.

Here, he is truly the Son of Heaven, he is invincible.

He reloads the past, while others will not remember the events of parallel time spaces… even I wouldn't remember. This is caused by the Celestial Dao Rules of this powerful world.

"What's more, what lies before me might also be a test."

"Seemingly appointing me as Prime Minister, in reality, he can restart instantly… pretended it never happened."

"Who knows, he might have reloaded countless times before, testing me in various ways, one time appointing me as Prime Minister, another as a royal son-in-law… all kinds of ways, probing my reaction now."

"Who knows, in a moment I might forget what happened in this time space, being restarted."

This alternative interrogation surpasses any severe torture.

Because in countless restarts, without remembering past events, you're likely to reveal something, being figured out.

"Forget it, forget it, I'll take a nap and go see Emperor Tang in the afternoon." Zhu Zhengwei knew he couldn't escape from Chang'an City… he was completely resigned to just lying down.

...

...

In the afternoon, he followed a eunuch into the palace.

Zhu Zhengwei was led into the Imperial Study and found several ministers waiting nearby.

Emperor Tang was sitting on the chair reviewing documents. He looked up and glanced at him, then said calmly, "Speak, who exactly are you?"

"I..." Zhu Zhengwei was just about to speak.

"Of course I am the Ghost Witch Doctor. Why does Your Majesty say so?" Emperor Tang directly answered, laughing heartily, "Isn't that what you were going to say?"

Zhu Zhengwei was stunned for a few seconds and was about to speak again.

"I guess your next sentence is: Your Majesty, what do you mean?" Emperor Tang spoke again, with a somewhat playful demeanor, looking at him.

In such a situation, an ordinary person would already feel a chill down their spine.

It was as if he had been seen through; everything he was going to do, everything he was planning to say, was already known.

After all, the current events could very well not be the first time for this man.

He had restarted countless times, involving meetings with Zhu Zhengwei.

Even the court in the morning, to deal with him, study his secrets, might not be the first time he experienced a restart...

"Alright, enough of teasing my beloved minister."

Emperor Tang laughed heartily, stood up, shook himself, and walked over with large strides, saying aloud: "My minister, I still hope you will help me conquer the world."

"I know you have a lot of doubts at this moment, and I'll have no trouble telling you."

Emperor Tang calmly said: "You must have guessed, I'm not just in the Chariot and Horse Institute, letting you complete 70% of the workload. Initially, I discovered you are a comprehensive talent in the Space System. It wasn't until I started trying, transferring you to other departments... and found that your accomplishments were surprisingly extraordinary."

"Even the newly appointed special talents, the places where they excel, I've let you go to those places..."

"Jiantu Seventh Branch..."

"Great Tang Mint No. 3 Factory..."

"Southwest Machinery Factory…"

...

Zhu Zhengwei listened to these names, and there were some places he had been curious about before, wondering what exactly they were doing, and it turns out he had worked there?

"Yes, most of their achievements were done by you."

"Undeniably, they have talent in this aspect, but far inferior to you... Jiantu Seventh Branch 45%... Great Tang Mint No. 3 Factory 81%... Southwest Machinery Factory 51%... these were your completed projects."

Zhu Zhengwei was instantly numb, truly numb.

His mind felt blank.

What the heck, it's not just the Chariot and Horse Institute, you directly transferred me to other places?

No wonder it's you.

After discovering his own traces, Emperor Tang, to test how many times he had restarted Chang'an City's timeline, loaded the save once again? This must already be an extremely insane number of loops, right!??

Zhu Zhengwei was left speechless.

"'Great Tang Chang'an City,' this type of farming simulation game isn't meant to be played like this."

You keep loading and saving, just squeezing every bit out of one person. This goes beyond reason!

"So, why did I award them their titles? Clearly, all the achievements were yours... because they originally had some talent in this aspect. Although far inferior to you, they had once been your assistants. It's not a big deal to grant them an official position as they can manage these duties just fine... and besides, you are quite extraordinary!"

He stepped forward, his gaze solemn, "I can't reveal the truth, I can only let others take credit for your research results, announcing them publicly as the work of newly appointed officials."

"They are far from your equal, being an unprecedented all-rounder, right?" Emperor Tang's gaze was sharp, as if able to see through a person's soul, watching Zhu Zhengwei.

Zhu Zhengwei remained silent in his heart.

His all-round "Celestial Dao Level" aptitude simply couldn't be hidden anymore.

Everyone has their strengths and weaknesses, and through the "aptitude" test on him, Emperor Tang horrifyingly discovered that he was a Hexagon Warrior. This wasn't something a living being could achieve...

It completely defies logic.

His very existence is something that should not exist.

Originally, he would hide the aptitude bestowed by the Creator God very well, but the special rules of Chang'an City made this point unable to be concealed.

"So, I have to ask again: who exactly are you?"

Emperor Tang spoke softly but quickly shook his head, "Moreover, you've been secretly slacking off, clearly not wanting others to discover your true talents... I'm already very irritated by your actions, you know, every time I have to mobilize your enthusiasm, it exhausts me...."

Zhu Zhengwei felt a bit embarrassed.

He looked at Zhu Zhengwei, just about to explain, when he was coldly interrupted, "I've already heard your explanation for the laziness: I just want a simple life, hence my laid-back attitude."

"...."

Zhu Zhengwei was speechless.

At this moment, he couldn't deny it, this really seemed like something he would say.

Not surprising it's me, in every timeline, making Emperor Tang so troublesome, for him to stimulate his work habit, practically pulling his hair out.
