More importantly, he must not show any bias to the Emperor. Else, the emperor will deem that he too was involved in this power struggle.
Xing Yuanguo thought quickly on his feet before providing his reply.
"Replying to the Emperor, this official believes that the Crown Prince is trying to abide by the royal rules and wishes. Official Han is incredibly experienced in invigilating the Imperial Examinations. He is able to spot talents from a distance and is a great choice for the Chief Examiner of the Imperial Exam. On the other hand, King Duan is experienced in the other fields. His skills are also equally capable. Having him as a supervisor would also allow him and Official Han to learn from each other.

However, Yan Xiu still seemed quite hesitant.
"What's going on?" Fang Zhengzhi asked as he looked at Yan Xiu.
"About the... Mirror Projections that you told me about last time. I still don't really get it." Yan Xiu had always tried to figure out cultivation matters himself, and found it difficult to ask for help now.
