Chapter 280 [Student Committee Recommendation]
This means that Xue Wei no longer has to go through the provincial and palace examinations and can be directly recommended to become an official!
This is such a great honor!
The students in Class 477 were stunned. When they were in high school, the student council member had won a national award in a science competition and was admitted to the university. Now, he had traveled back to ancient times and was facing the imperial examination. He was still admitted!
Is this the academic god? No matter where he goes, he is a child of destiny!
Xue Wei's father, Grand Tutor Xue, was already paralyzed. He knew his second son had made great progress in the past six months, but he was shocked to see him and Xia Su rescue the emperor today. It could be said that if his son hadn't been there today, the throne would have needed someone else.
Half a year ago, he was still worried that his second son would be a useless person who would just stay at home and rely on his parents for support, but now he feels that he can rely on his son after retirement.
Strange, so strange.
However, just as everyone present was drooling with envy, Xue Wei bowed respectfully and said to Emperor Qingning, "I thank the emperor for his kindness."
"It's just that I believe that protecting the monarch's safety is my duty. As citizens of Dasheng, we should put the monarch's safety first."
"Your Majesty is the first person capable of leading a prosperous society. If I cannot guarantee your safety, then what good will it do me to achieve a higher rank in the imperial examination?"
Xue Wei's face was firm and righteous, "I beg the Emperor to revoke his order and allow me to take the imperial examination normally."
Xue Wei's speech made Emperor Qingning feel very comfortable. It was so pleasing to the ears!
"Okay, then I'll wait to see you at the palace examination!"
@Jiang Lili: Where did the student council take the emotional intelligence class? I'd love to take it, too. This is so different from facing Jiang Wanyue before.
@Hou Xiaoxiao (Princess of Jin): Oh my! Actually, the student council member is pretty smart, they just don't want to deal with Jiang Wanyue.
@周居善 (Eunuch Supervisor) on vacation: Xue Wei's playing hard to get is even better than any of the concubines in the harem!
If Xue Wei accepted the emperor's offer of an official position now, he would be the emperor's savior. The position would likely be a well-paid and leisurely one. It wouldn't be too high, and the actual power wouldn't be great.
But if Xue Wei made it to the palace examination, with his merit in saving his master, his performance in the imperial examination, and the reputation he had accumulated among the people during his previous epidemic control, his future would be much brighter and brighter!
Emperor Qingning pressed Xia Su, "What about the deputy commander Zhuang Hefeng? Did he rebel?"
Xia Su replied, "Your Majesty, Zhuang Hefeng took the initiative to expose Prince An's plan to me, which is why I was able to mobilize so many people in time. Lord Zhuang is currently clearing out the rebels outside the palace."
When Prince Jin heard what Xia Su said, his heart sank. Zhuang Hefeng was afraid that Xia Su, who had returned, would catch him off guard, so he took advantage of the situation to expose Prince An, protect himself, and give this credit to Xia Su as a favor.
He had planned carefully for so long, but the fruits of victory were about to fall into the hands of others. He was so angry!
Prince Jin gritted his teeth and looked at Xue Wei. Where did this evil Xue Wei come from?!
How could he know the situation in the suburbs so quickly and accurately? And how could he have the confidence to tell Xia Su not to rush to the suburbs of Beijing and return to the palace as soon as possible?
Didn't those people he placed among the refugees make things worse and stir up trouble?
The King of Jin originally thought that he had the upper hand and that all he had to fight for was a time difference.
He has already had people keep an eye on and strictly control who is entering the city. Even if someone sneaks in from outside the city to deliver a message, Xia Su will definitely not have time to come back to support.
Hou Xiaoxiao looked at Prince Jin, whose expression had changed like a palette, and said coldly, "Hey, Your Highness, why are you sweating so much?"
When the King of Jin heard Hou Xiaoxiao's words, he quickly lowered his voice and gave him a warning look: "Don't talk nonsense, if we get involved in this, we will all lose our heads!"
Hou Xiaoxiao covered her mouth in surprise. "How could that be? We are the victims of today's palace turmoil. What does this have to do with us?"
Prince Jin was furious. This woman had no idea of his situation. To some extent, she had given him an inhumane drug and helped him gain Prince An's trust.
King Jin persuaded himself to suppress the anger in his heart.
However, at this moment, a guard came in to report: "Your Majesty! The General of the Cavalry single-handedly shot and killed the leader of the rebels outside the palace with a single arrow. The rebels outside the palace are leaderless and are now under control!"
"The general is still waiting outside the palace gates for news on His Majesty's safety."
Prince Jin had just finished complaining about Hou Xiaoxiao in his heart, but when he heard the news, he immediately sat up straight.
He glanced at Hou Xiaoxiao and said indignantly, "You have a good grandfather who can benefit from it."
Upon hearing that the General of Cavalry, who was over sixty years old, had accomplished such a feat, Emperor Qingning was moved.
The General of the Cavalry never attends palace banquets because he thinks they are too noisy, otherwise Emperor Qingning would have to invite him in today.
After hearing this, Xia Su remembered something. He turned towards Hou Xiaoxiao and said, "The patriotic spirit of the General of the Cavalry family is inherited from their ancestors. Even the Princess of Jin, the granddaughter of the General, is so courageous!"
Emperor Qingning became curious after hearing what Xia Su said: "What do you mean?"
"Your Majesty, do you know how I learned the details of the number and location of these rebels in the palace?"
Xia Su recounted to Emperor Qingning the wonders he had witnessed before entering the palace: "Before I entered the palace, my men discovered a strange phenomenon in the open space near the palace gate. A large group of ants had gathered in the open space, and from a distance it looked like a map."
"To me, it looks more like a floor plan of the Xingqing Hall, the palace's banquet hall. On the floor plan, small groups of ants are gathered in different locations, and there is a golden ant on the position of the dragon throne!"
Emperor Qingning raised his eyebrows, "Is this really true? Could it be..."
Emperor Qingning remembered that Princess Jin was good at using poisonous insects.
Xia Su continued, following Emperor Qingning's words, "After the General of the Cavalry reminded me, I remembered that Princess Jin's maternal family has ties to the Miao region, so controlling ants is no problem for them. They're tipping me off! They've told me the location and number of the rebels!"
Hou Xiaoxiao listened to Xia Su's words without changing her expression. In fact, it was not that mysterious. He Lin simply asked the Miao people to draw pictures on the ground with honey at night, and then used their domesticated poisonous ants.
However, this is the only reasonable explanation for why Xia Su was able to obtain information from the palace.
“Okay, okay!”
Emperor Qingning praised him three times, "Princess Jin, you and your grandfather, one old and one young, are truly my two capable generals!"
Hou Xiaoxiao saluted Emperor Qingning with a smile and replied, "Serving the Emperor of Dasheng is what my grandfather and I should do."
So when will the reward be distributed? How much taels of gold will be distributed?
