Yue Fuguang's face immediately showed curiosity, "Has Your Majesty already found out who did it?"
Looking at the forced curiosity on her small face, everyone wondered if it was just their imagination, but suddenly felt that the Junior Tutor's expression was even more fake than when she used to make up stories to deceive them.
Is she so disappointed in them that she doesn't even want to act anymore?
Moonlight: Is it possible that this is actually my real acting? (Rolling eyes emoji)
Emperor Mingxi sighed and nodded, saying, "Wei Ping and his men have indeed made some progress. All signs point to Prince Qi as the culprit."
"Didn't the King of Qi commit suicide? Are these his last words?"
Emperor Mingxi: What kind of good person would leave a dying message for the assassin?
Wei Ping added with a smile, "Young Master, according to the confession of the captured assassins, their master's name is Qi Xie, but based on his description of the man's appearance..."
I drew a portrait, only to discover it was of the deceased King Qi. Later, Lord Cai and I found evidence in King Qi's residence that indicated the person who committed suicide by poison was his double, not King Qi himself.
Yue Fuguang nodded. "I see! Then, has Lord Wei found the hiding place of the King of Qi?"
Wei Ping shook his head apologetically, "Not yet! But please rest assured, Your Excellency, I will definitely bring Prince Qi to justice."
"We will also increase protection for the Junior Tutor during this period, and we will certainly prevent a repeat of last night's incident."
Emperor Mingxi then added, "Besides telling you who was behind yesterday's assassination attempt, I also want you to go to the 'Guest House' to select a group of personal guards."
There's no limit to the number of people; you can take anything you like.
Emperor Mingxi waved his hand and sent someone to Yue Fuguang to reassure her.
"The Guest House, where is that? Is it the place where His Majesty trains his guards?"
This was truly the first time Yue Fuguang had ever heard of such an office in the imperial court.
Xie Zhiyan explained, "Didn't the Junior Tutor once ask me about people from the martial arts world, and even considered hiring them?"
Yue Fuguang nodded. She did indeed have such a plan, after all, it involved several of her tasks.
Xie Zhiyan continued, "This guesthouse is a government office that gathers martial arts practitioners who want to serve the imperial court. The people inside are all martial arts practitioners with good skills."
This government office has a long history. For example, General Wei Shouyi's father came from a humble background, having started out in a traveling inn before achieving great military exploits and establishing the Wei family's current status.
Wei Shouyi immediately replied, "Don't worry, Master. The martial arts practitioners who can enter the Guest House are all of good character and skill."
These people and their entire families are all staying in accommodations arranged by the government offices in the capital, so you can rest assured.”
What he didn't say was that those qualified to be brought before the Junior Tutor for his selection were all people they had carefully selected, and preparations had begun when the Junior Tutor was first assassinated.
Emperor Mingxi also said, "These people receive salaries from the imperial court, and they are different from true江湖人 (jianghu people, people of the martial arts world)."
The idea of mastering both literary and martial arts to serve the emperor is not just a saying. Truly farsighted martial artists still hope to infiltrate the imperial court, obtain an official position, and in the future, bring honor to their families and their descendants.
Otherwise, even the most renowned "hero" would have his life or death decided by a single word from the imperial court.
The martial arts world is not only about fighting and killing, but also about human relationships and social interactions.
Yue Fuguang smiled and said, "In that case, I'd like to carefully select more capable people?"
Since they're offering her a hand, she won't stand on ceremony!
As for whether there were any spies from the emperor or others involved, she wasn't worried at all. In fact, she was afraid the emperor wouldn't know what she was doing.
With someone helping to relay the message, she was spared the trouble of revealing gossip in court.
Suddenly remembering something, Yue Fuguang asked, "Your Majesty, do all these people hold official positions?"
Since they were able to come to the Guest Academy, it means they wanted to become 'civil servants'; they are all ambitious and driven individuals.
If I remain a celibate after following her, wouldn't that go against her wishes? It might also make things less convenient to use her.
Emperor Mingxi smiled and nodded. "The lowest official rank is a seventh-rank official, and there is no limit to the number of people who can hold this position. I will also give you five sixth-rank officials, three sixth-rank officials, and one fifth-rank official."
As for who will receive these official positions, you can decide that yourself. Once the list is finalized, just submit it to the Ministry of Personnel.
Yu Fuguang nodded secretly. The emperor was alright. It seemed he was rich and powerful. He even let her choose the people for the fifth-rank official positions. He was quite generous.
Emperor Mingxi: You can't keep the little fairy lord by giving her an official rank. If it weren't for the fact that I haven't promoted her yet, I wouldn't mind giving her a fifth-rank official position or a fourth-rank official position, as long as she doesn't keep thinking about running away!
When the emperor was announced as a fifth-rank official, many people present looked on with envy. Although military officials were naturally inferior to civil officials, given the current development of the Dayan Dynasty...
Sooner or later, they will fight with their neighbors. With the arrival of a celestial lord, Dayan will certainly not be satisfied with the current state of division among several countries.
The Great Yan Kingdom is slowly changing. It will not only avoid the fate of being destroyed as in the original history, but it will also embark on the path of unifying the five kingdoms.
With the imperial court or the Little Immortal Lord as their backing on the battlefield, military merits are much easier to earn than before.
Those without foresight sent their descendants to work under Wei Shouyi and to keep Yu Boming of the Yu family company.
It's called a training exercise, but isn't it just an indirect way of currying favor with the Little Immortal Lord?
They looked at the current emperor, Emperor Mingxi, and the future heir, Xie Zhiyan, who were certain that these two would not let go of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to unify the world.
Even if the two of them wanted to give up, the ruthless officials in the Ministry of War would surely push them down this path.
Moonlight: Me too. They don't take this route, which affects my earning points. I don't mind sending someone else who's obedient to sit down.
Emperor Mingxi and Xie Zhiyan suddenly felt a chill run down their spines, as if they were being watched by some ferocious beast.
Ignoring his colleagues' various thoughts, Ji Hongming seized the opportunity when His Majesty mentioned the Ministry of Personnel and stepped forward, saying, "If Your Excellency needs, I can send a clerk to accompany you to select people."
The Crown Prince also said, "I will accompany the Junior Tutor."
Wei Shouyi also said, "This humble general will go as well."
With a simple smile, he looked at the moon and said, "Young Master, I, Old Wei, know this place well, and I know who has real skills."
Yue Fuguang also smiled politely and said, "That's great. I'll have to rely on General Wei to help me select some good fighters later."
After bidding farewell to Emperor Mingxi, the group headed excitedly towards the guesthouse.
Along the way, they passed several government offices and saw busy figures inside. Yue Fuguang could actually smell a strong office worker's smell on them.
Thinking back to my own school days at the age of nine, I realize that I'm definitely having a tougher time than my peers!
But it seems like it's not unbearable for the sake of points.
With this kind of mentality, Yue Fuguang doesn't need anyone to coax her; she can just change her mindset and use points to coax herself!
After all, poor people don't have the right to lie down!
My laziness over the past few days was quickly cured after checking my points balance!
