Qin Zhentian chuckled and said, "General Jiang, you actually asked me to help others get promoted. This is a new thing."
Jiang Gan said, "Your Majesty, this military book is worth my attention. I also don't want a genius like Xiao Shidu to die young."
"His promotion in official rank is a form of protection for him."
Official position is a kind of amulet, and the higher the position, the stronger the protective effect.
He is a sixth-rank tutor to the Crown Prince, and anyone who wants to kill him must think twice.
"Um."
Qin Zhentian nodded slightly.
"Xiao Fan, what do you think?"
Xiao Fan quickly said, "Your Majesty, I am interested in promotion. The future fortune of the empire may help me cultivate."
"But I don't need real power. Being the Crown Prince's tutor is fine by me."
After Xiao Fan finished speaking, many other people spoke up.
If Xiao Fan doesn't want real power, it won't have any impact on their interests, so he still has to give Jiang Gan some face.
"Mr. Xiao, I wonder who wrote this military book?"
A civil servant asked.
Xiao Fan asked doubtfully, "I wrote it. Could it be that you have read it somewhere?"
The other party quickly asked: "I mean, who wrote these words?"
"It's me."
Xiao Fan said.
The other party asked in surprise, "Xiao Shidu, have you reached the master level in calligraphy?"
Xiao Fan nodded: "I have indeed reached the master level in calligraphy. I can write military strategies casually, but I am more proficient in poetry."
"How old are you this year, Xiao Shidu?"
Another civil servant asked.
Xiao Fan said: "I am twenty years old."
"Twenty years old... I love calligraphy. I'm sixty-eight this year, and I still haven't reached the threshold of a master in calligraphy. I'm ashamed."
The civil servant said with great emotion, "Xiao Shidu, are you married?"
"Master Lin, you are still treacherous. You yourself haven't reached the Grandmaster level yet, but you want to find a Grandmaster-level son-in-law for your family?"
Another civil servant glared.
On the imperial throne, Qin Zhentian coughed lightly and said, "Alright, what kind of place is this Tianji Palace? Why are you making such a fuss?"
"Xiao Shidu, you were promoted twice recently. Normally, you can't be promoted again, but this military manual is so valuable that I will promote you one more level!"
"From now on, you are a sixth-rank tutor to the Crown Prince."
Xiao Fan quickly knelt down and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty."
Qin Zhentian said: "If you present this military book to the court, I will reward you with 300,000 Tianlong coins. You should make more contributions to the court in the future."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Xiao Fan said again.
Three hundred thousand Tianlong coins is not a small amount of money.
He had only saved 100,000 Tianlong coins in the previous three years. When he was promoted, he received many gifts from others, but the total amount was only 100,000 Tianlong coins.
"Rewards are necessary for merit and punishments are necessary for fault. This is my rule!"
"Get up!"
Qin Zhentian smiled faintly.
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Jiang Gan bowed and said, "I have some selfish motives in helping Xiao Fan. Xiao Fan helped me a few days ago and saved my reputation."
Qin Zhentian nodded slightly.
"My dear ministers, if you have nothing else to do, please stop here today."
None of the ministers spoke.
"Withdraw from the court!"
"Long live our emperor, long live our emperor!"
Everyone shouted in unison, and Qin Zhentian stood up and prepared to leave.
"System, sign in!"
Xiao Fan quickly said in his mind that he almost forgot about this matter.
"Successful sign-in. Congratulations to the host for obtaining the Sky-Seeing Divine Eye. The Sky-Seeing Divine Eye can see through illusions and demons' disguises."
The system voice sounded, and suddenly a huge amount of information flooded into Xiao Fan's mind.
Xiao Fan felt an itch between his eyebrows, as if a third eye was about to pop out, which made him a little panicked.
If he had an extra eye in this court, wouldn't he be regarded as a monster?
In the Tianlong Empire, everyone has the right to kill any demon!
"Host, you don't have to worry. Even if you use the Sky-Seeing Divine Eye, a top expert won't notice you."
The system's voice sounded in Xiao Fan's mind.
"Why?"
"Host, the Sky-Seeing Divine Eye is half real and half fake. You can see it, but others can't. You will know once you digest the information."
Soon Xiao Fan and the others retreated from the Tianji Palace.
"Congratulations, Mr. Xiao."
"Reader Xiao, please consider this matter. My daughter is only eighteen years old, beautiful and intelligent. She is definitely worthy of your consideration."
"Xiao Shidu——"
Everyone spoke up, they were very interested in Xiao Fan.
At a young age, Xiao Fan has already held the sixth rank in the government. He is a master in calligraphy and chess, and can even write military books such as "Yanhuang's Art of War".
Xiao Fan bowed and said, "I appreciate your kindness, gentlemen. I will not consider these matters until my cultivation problem is resolved."
"Even if the daughters of the masters' families have average talents, I think they will have a certain level of cultivation and their lifespan will be much longer than mine."
"I will miss the beautiful lady in this situation."
Everyone looked at each other. Xiao Fan's cultivation was indeed a problem. The lifespan of an ordinary person was only eighty or ninety years.
Someone like Xiao Fan, who has no cultivation at all, may not be more than seventy years old.
After the age of forty, you start to get old.
The lifespan of a Tiangang-level character can reach 160 years, and the lifespan of a Digang-level character can reach 120 years.
People at the Digang level only start to age at the age of eighty.
"Don't be discouraged, Xiao Shidu, it will definitely be solved."
"Reader Xiao, isn't there an alchemy exchange conference coming up soon? Perhaps you could ask those top alchemy masters to take a look."
Several ministers around spoke up.
