The 25-day martial arts competition finally ended, and under Nangong Xue's reasonable arrangement, every participant in the competition gave full play to their potential, so they also got extremely good results, and all the people were greatly boosted. Looking at such good results, Zhao Xianglin didn't know how much to cheer up, he thought about how to reward Nangong Xue over and over again.

Within a few days, Zhao Xianglin summoned Nangong Xue into the palace. As soon as she entered the palace, Nangong Xue was thinking about how to organize the language to report on the matters of this martial arts conference.

After seeing Zhao Xianglin, Nangong Xue bowed respectfully, and before Nangong Xue could speak, Zhao Xianglin said directly: "Nangong Xue, you did a very good job this time, it seems that Ling Huyi really did not recommend you to be this official in vain, and you have not lived up to my expectations of you." With such a great achievement, it seems that I can't say if I want to reward you well. ”

As soon as Nangong Xue heard that she wanted a reward, she hurriedly bowed respectfully and politely declined: "The minister is very grateful to the emperor for his holy grace, but the minister did not do this to be able to get the emperor's reward. But....... Well, it's nothing. ”

"But ......? And what? As soon as Zhao Xianglin heard Nangong Xue's slightly concealed tone, he sternly got up and asked, "I am not allowed to have any concealment here, if I find out ......, I think you should know what the result will be." ”

Nangong Xue saw that Zhao Xianglin's face had also changed, and replied: "Please let the emperor calm his anger, the ministers dare not hide anything from the emperor, please let the emperor know it." ”

"Then what are you trying to say about that sentence but ......?" Zhao Xianglin looked straight at Nangong Xue, and asked again, "Why do you still want to hide it?" Aren't you afraid ......? ”

“……。” Nangong Xue was silent for a while, and when she saw that she couldn't change the topic when she saw this situation, she sighed lightly and said, "Your Majesty, it's ......, that's the case, the reason why the minister wants to participate in this martial arts conference so much is because he wants to learn some martial arts in this conference, and he began to think that he could ask the emperor for approval to allow the ministers to sign up, but I didn't expect the emperor to approve it, so in the end, I had no choice but to choose to do something in this matter, which can be regarded as participating, but in fact, I figured out that this conference can learn some additional kung fu that I can't usually learn, Not for self-defense, but to satisfy the hobby of the minister's heart. ”

"Is it really that simple?" Zhao Xianglin still didn't believe Nangong Xue's sentence "but" was such a simple reason, so he asked rhetorically, "Isn't there anything else?" ”

"Your Majesty," Nangong Xue replied, "The minister really just has this idea, and has no other ideas." ”

Zhao Xianglin also understood that he would not ask anything if he asked again, so he gave up and said lightly: "Okay, since that's the case, I won't ask more, anyway, I believe you won't and won't dare to hide anything from me." ”

"Thank you for your grace. ……。 Nangong Xue bowed respectfully and said respectfully.

"Don't thank me yet." Zhao Xianglin interrupted Nangong Xue, then picked up a fold from the bookcase and handed it to Nangong Xue and said lightly, "You take a look at this first." Then talk about what you think. ”

Nangong Xue respectfully took the recital submitted by Zhao Xianglin, and opened it in a daze, which read: "Because Nangong Xue has made superior achievements in this martial arts competition and won glory for the empire, Nangong Xue is specially appointed as the head of the country, and her duty is to teach the students of the empire." After reading Nangong Xue, she looked at the beginning of this recital, and the word "proposed" was written on it. Nangong Xue understood at this time that the emperor asked her to co-author so that she could teach in the country. After understanding this, Nangong Xue put it away and handed it back to Zhao Xianglin as it was, and replied respectfully: "Your Majesty, for this appointment, the minister is worried that he will not be able to do it. Your Majesty, what do you think ......? ”

"Your worries are completely unwarranted." Zhao Xianglin replied lightly, "Since ancient times, as long as you have the ability, you will not care about other reasons for the position of the head of the country, and it is useless for other civil and military officials to have opinions." The state has never been stingy with talented people. ”

“……。” Nangong Xue listened silently, and was still a little reluctant to accept it in her heart, the last time she was asked to serve as the inspector of the Kyoto Prefecture Protectorate and the Ministry of Works, she already felt a little bit of the strange eyes of the other ministers at that time, if she served as the head of the Guozijian again this time, and I don't know what kind of eyes she would look at, not that she didn't believe in her own talent, but that she felt that she was always pushed to the cusp of gossip inadvertently like this, and she was still a little uncomfortable in her heart. Besides, it is a place for teaching and educating people, even if those ministers reluctantly accept it, but what about those students? Can they accept it so lightly? Nangong Xue couldn't help but start worrying in her heart, it's not that she can't teach them, it's just that they are really willing to accept her education?

While thinking like this, Nangong Xue couldn't help but show a melancholy expression on her face. This time Zhao Xianglin saw it. So he was faintly relieved: "I know that this appointment may be a little difficult for you to choose, but I think it shouldn't be difficult to solve the small problems in your mind with your ingenuity, right?" Haven't you solved so many problems in the past few years? It shouldn't be difficult to be the head of this country now, right? …… Are you right? ”

Nangong Xue was a little stunned when Zhao Xianglin said this, and she didn't know how to answer for a while, so she was stunned: "Ah......?" Oh......? ”

"Nangong Xue, what do you mean?" Zhao Xianglin was puzzled, "Agreeing or disagreeing is two sentences, you, oh, I don't understand what you mean." Is it okay to give me a letter of approval? ”

“……。” As soon as Zhao Xianglin finished speaking, Nangong Xue relieved herself and said lightly, "Back to the emperor, please forgive the minister, whether the appointed minister agrees or disagrees with this one, don't you already have an idea in your heart, Your Majesty?" Therefore, the result of whether the minister gives the letter or not, isn't it all the same? ”

"Hahahaha......." Zhao Xianglin laughed twice, and then said, "It seems that you are still quite smart, I really didn't mistake you." Alright, this decree will be passed down in the near future, and you can do whatever you want to do in the future, whether you study or teach. ”

"It's the minister's decree of thanksgiving." Nangong Xue knelt respectfully on the ground and said respectfully.

……

……

A few days later, the holy decree was passed down as promised, and Chen Zhao was immediately angry when he heard it, he slapped the bookcase heavily, and then put his hands behind his back and wandered anxiously in the study. From time to time, he also said indignantly: "Ridiculous, ridiculous! What is this, the head of the country is in charge of the sect and dares to seal it, what do you think? Is he crazy about that? Nangong Xue, who are you sacred? can actually do this, and even enter the officialdom again and again, what kind of medicine are you selling in this gourd? Little girl, do you think you can be so easily competent? ……。 ”

After speaking, he called out loudly: "Come on." As soon as the words fell, an attendant hurriedly entered the study and responded tremblingly: "Yes, what does the master command?" ”

Chen Zhao indignantly ordered: "You go and inform the vice presidents of the four major academies, as well as the vice president of the Hanlin Academy, Lord Yang Qihan, the master of the Hanlin Academy, the imperial historian of the Hanlin Academy, Master Lin, and the assistant teacher of the Guozijian to teach Tang Zishu Tang, they are all invited, saying that I have something important to discuss with them." After speaking, the attendant replied: "Yes, master, the little one will go and invite a few adults to come over." With that, he turned and went out.

After the attendant left, Chen Zhao said silently while wandering: "Nangong Xue, I won't let you be so lightly qualified for this position. Wait and see. ”

On the same day, those adults came to Chen Zhao's mansion to discuss ...... with Chen Zhao about Nangong Xue's official position this time. Several adults discussed the matter of Nangong Xue for a long time, until the evening, when they dispersed, Chen Zhao said respectfully: "Regarding today's matter, tomorrow depends on the careful words of your lords." ”

Several adults also replied one after another: "Don't dare, don't dare, Lord Chen is serious." When we are courtiers, we will definitely be obligated to do so. ”

The next morning, these adults jointly wrote a letter on the court and implored Zhao Xianglin to be cautious about appointing Nangong Xue as the head of the country. Several adults also said that no matter how many dynasties and dynasties have never let a child less than fifteen years old come to teach in the country, let alone a girl who has not achieved anything. Hearing this, the other officials in the court also resonated, and they all agreed to ask for a re-examination of this matter.

So the court was suddenly full of all kinds of dissatisfied voices, Nangong Xue stood in it and watched them ask for their lives so "desperately", and suddenly she was worried, she couldn't help touching her forehead and sighed long from time to time, and said in her heart: "Isn't it just a broken official position, do you think I'm happy to be?" Is it a bit official to make such a fuss? Hey, now that I look at it, I really think that the emperor is very pitiful, although he has a word, but he can't get up when he encounters his own courtiers who make such a fuss. No wonder so many emperors are uncomfortable. ”

Although the court has been arguing to such an inextricable point, Zhao Xianglin still insists on his decision, even if there is a cliff in front of him, he has no hesitation to jump down, anyway, it is death horizontally and vertically, it is better to have a Jedi to survive, so Zhao Xianglin "snapped" and slapped the table heavily, and then the entire court instantly quieted down from the noisy atmosphere, and reprimanded loudly: "Okay!" Don't make any noise with me, is your court a street market? What is the system of noisy and shouting? I understand your words, but there is no reason to take back my decree after it has been issued, otherwise where is my majesty? Okay, that's all for today, and let me carry out the decree whether you like it or not. That's what I mean. I don't want to hear any more objections from now on. ”

After hearing Zhao Xianglin's reprimand, Tang Zishu, who was standing beside Chen Zhao, asked softly: "The emperor is angry, hey, it seems that it is useless to be cautious, Lord Chen, what can you do now?" ”

Chen Zhao replied lightly: "Since this is the case, let's take one step at a time, but according to the emperor's intentions, this little girl is going to teach in the Guozi Prison, then this happens to be with you, Lord Tang, what to do ......in the future, I think Lord Tang should understand, right?" ”

The corners of Tang Zishu's mouth rose slightly, and he said lightly: "Tang understands." Mr. Chen, please rest assured. ”

After seeing Tang Zishu understand his intentions, Chen Zhao also raised the corners of his mouth slightly and gave him a look.

Then Zhao Xianglin said to Wang Jiezhong: "Retreat from the dynasty." ”

Immediately, Wang Jiezhong announced loudly: "Retreat from the dynasty!" If there is a recital, you can go to the south study hall outside the hall to wait for the summons. After speaking, all the courtiers left the court one after another.

Nangong Xue was the last to walk out of the court, and she sighed lightly in her heart when she walked last: "It seems that my life in the future is destined not to be peaceful." ”
