Chapter 280: Recommended by the Student Committee
Chapter 280: Recommended by the Student Committee
This means that Xue Wei no longer has to go through the metropolitan examination and the palace examination, and can be directly recommended to become an official!
This is such a great honor!
The students in Class 477 were shocked. When the student council member was in high school, he won a national award in a science competition and was admitted to the university. But now he has traveled back to ancient times and is facing the imperial examination. How can he still be admitted to the university?!
Is this the academic god? No matter where he goes, he is the pride of heaven!
Xue Wei's father, Grand Tutor Xue, was already very nervous. He knew that his second son had made great progress in the past six months, but today he and Xia Su actually saved the emperor, which really surprised him. It can be said that if his son was not there today, the person sitting on the throne might have to be replaced.
Half a year ago, he was still worried that his second son would be a useless person who would just sit at home and rely on his parents for support, but now he feels that he can rely on his son after he retires.
Strange, so strange.
However, when everyone was drooling with envy, Xue Wei bowed to Emperor Qingning without being humble or overbearing, and said, "I would like to thank the emperor for his kindness."
"It's just that I think it's my duty to protect the monarch. As a citizen of Dasheng, I should put the monarch's safety first."
"Your Majesty is the first person who can lead the great prosperity. If I cannot guarantee your safety, then what is the use of me getting a high honor."
Xue Wei's face was firm and righteous: "I also ask 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!"
【@江麗麗: Where did the student council member take the EQ class? I also want to go and take some further studies. This is very different from the time I faced Jiang Wanyue before.】
【@侯潇潇(王妃):Alas~ Actually, the student council member is very smart, but he just doesn’t want to deal with Jiang Wanyue. 】
【@周居善在假(长管太太): Xue Wei is even better at playing hard to get than the concubines in the harem! 】
If Xue Wei accepted the emperor's official title now, he would be the emperor's lifesaver. The title would be a well-paid and leisurely position. The title would not be too high and the actual power would not be great.
But if Xue Wei made it to the palace examination, with his merit in saving the lord, 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 asked Xia Su: "What about the deputy commander Zhuang Hefeng? Did he rebel nearby?"
Xia Su replied, "Your Majesty, Zhuang Hefeng took the initiative to expose Prince An's plan to me, so I was able to mobilize so many people in time. Right now, Master Zhuang is clearing out the rebels outside the palace."
When Prince Jin heard Xia Su's words, his heart sank. Zhuang Hefeng was afraid that Xia Su would catch him off guard, so he took the opportunity to expose Prince An to protect himself and gave the credit to Xia Su as a favor.
He had planned carefully for so long, but the fruits of victory were going to fall into the hands of others. He was so angry!
King 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 for support.
Hou Xiaoxiao looked at Prince Jin, whose expression had changed like a palette, and said coldly, "Hey, Your Majesty, why are you sweating so much?"
When King Jin heard what Hou Xiaoxiao said, 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 it be? We are the victims of today's palace turmoil. What does it have to do with us?"
Prince Jin was furious. It was all right. This woman had no idea of his situation. To some extent, she had given him an inhumane drug and helped him gain the trust of Prince An.
Prince 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 shot and killed the leader of the rebels outside the palace with one arrow. The rebels outside the palace are leaderless and are now under control!"
"The general is still waiting outside the palace gates for news, wanting to know whether His Majesty is safe."
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 Cavalry never attends palace banquets because he thinks they are too noisy, otherwise Emperor Qingning would have insisted on inviting him in today.
After hearing this, Xia Su remembered something. He turned to Hou Xiaoxiao and said, "The loyalty and patriotism of the general's family is inherited from their ancestors. Princess Jin, as the general's granddaughter, 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 told Emperor Qingning about the wonders he saw before he broke into 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 gathered in the open space, which looked like a map from a distance."
"It looks to me like the floor plan of the Xingqing Hall, the banquet hall in the palace. On the floor plan, small groups of ants are gathered in different locations, and there is a golden ant at the position of the dragon throne!"
Emperor Qingning raised his eyebrows, "Is this true? Could it be..."
Emperor Qingning remembered that Princess Jin was good at using poisonous insects.
Xia Su continued to speak along with Emperor Qingning's words: "After being reminded by the General of the Cavalry, I remembered that the Jin Princess's maternal ancestors have a connection with Miaojiang, so controlling ants is no problem for them. They are tipping me off! They have informed me of 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 just 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.
"Good good!"
Emperor Qingning said three good words in a row, "Princess Jin, you and your grandfather, one old and one young, are truly my two capable generals!"
Hou Xiaoxiao saluted Emperor Qingning and responded with a smile, "Serving the emperor of Dasheng is what my grandfather and I should do."
So when will the reward be distributed? How many ounces of gold will be distributed?
