After leaving the Sifang Pavilion, the five little princes raised their eyebrows, and they were excited.

These five guys, although they are the sons of the nobles of the imperial capital of Chu State, how can their identities compare with the princes of other countries? Even if it is a little prince, he is not qualified to compare with others.

Therefore, they were bullied by the three princes in the Qin Mansion, and they were helpless.

Now Qin Ming took them and taught the three princes a good lesson, making them feel very comfortable.

At the same time, they really admired Qin Ming.

Seeing that the five of them were very excited, Qin Ming also understood that they had experienced the feeling of punishing evil and promoting good, so he said:

"If you want to become a capable person in the future, the only way for you is to study. After all, knowledge is power. ”

Hearing this, the little prince couldn't help asking, "Cousin-in-law...... Oh no, Lord Qin, we are the sons of nobles, and we don't need to be knowledgeable to become officials. ”

Qin Ming frowned: "If you become an official, you must be powerful?" If you are not as knowledgeable as others, and you become an official, you will also be suppressed by others. Whether it is an opinion or an opinion, it will be inferior to others. In the end, it's not just the last stream? ”

The five of them were thoughtful, and then they heard Qin Ming say again:

"You have to take the palace exam in more than two months this time, no matter what, you will also take the Jinshi exam, at that time, if you enter the court as an official at a young age, wouldn't it be a glorious ancestor?"

The three men nodded one after another, while the two girls spoke: "But we girls can't take the imperial examination?" ”

Qin Ming said: "Who said that? Did I stipulate that girls can't take the imperial examination? The new system also shows that girls also have to study together and participate in the imperial examination together, and they can also enter the court as officials! ”

Hearing this, the two girls also showed excited looks, where did they think that they could also take the imperial examination? Can it even be an official?

"Anyway, let's go back to studying. At present, after reading the book for at least half a month, especially after reading the Four Books and the Five Classics, your conduct has become more or less correct, which is also a breakthrough. Qin Ming said seriously.

Several men and women nodded, and then returned to the Qin Mansion with Qin Ming.

On this day, Qin Ming had a good rest at home.

The next day, early in the morning, Qin Ming was wearing a five-grade blue official uniform, a black gauze hat, and a serious expression, and when he arrived at the palace, he walked slowly to the main hall.

Everywhere they passed, all the officials looked sideways.

Although many people also received the news that Qin Ming had returned to the imperial capital yesterday, many people were still surprised when they saw it today.

Qin Ming changed the ruffian state he had in the past when he was in the court, and today he was extremely serious, which made many ministers feel a little nervous.

Qin Ming's appearance, this is obviously another big deal.

After standing in his position, Qin Ming lowered his eyes slightly and said nothing.

On the contrary, the eldest princess standing in front always looked back at Qin Ming intentionally or unintentionally.

Similarly, Mu Xian also glanced at Qin Ming from time to time.

Qin Ming didn't react at all, he always looked like the old god was there.

After a while, the emperor went to court, and everyone shouted long live, and then, the emperor looked happy and said:

"Zhong Aiqing, the border pass and the Jin country are fighting, my Chu country has won a great victory, and the Jin country has been defeated and retreated."

"Your Majesty is wise and sageful, and the country of Chu will never fail!"

All the courtiers shouted in unison, and Emperor Chu nodded happily and said:

"This battle, Qin Ming, is indispensable. With 30,000 people, killing 100,000 Jin soldiers, the Jin country that fought has no temper, and strengthens the prestige of my Chu country, good, good! ”

Qin Ming came out: "Thank Your Majesty for blessings!" ”

"Hahaha, you kid, don't be modest here, no matter what, you've done a great job. is also for me, for the state of Chu, they all have a face. ”

As he spoke, the emperor suddenly got up, looked at the Manchu Dynasty civil and military, and said:

"Zhong Aiqing, Qin Ming, with the strength of one person, entered the Jin State to negotiate, for the Chu State, won the five cities of the Jin State, who can compare with such merits, except for the founding heroes?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked by the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty.

Everyone knew that Qin Ming personally led his troops to win the battle, and they also knew that Qin Ming went to negotiate.

However, no one expected that Qin Ming actually forced the Jin State to give the Chu State five cities as compensation, which is a bit unbelievable, right?

Isn't it, the king of Jin has water in his brain?

They knew how much pressure the King of Jin was at that time, and he was directly facing the pressure of the three powerful countries, and he didn't dare to move Qin Ming, and on the one hand, the army was pressing the border, what could he do?

"Five cities, this is not a child's play, it can become a state, and it was won over the territory of my Chu country by Lord Qin like this, Lord Qin, it really deserves to be a talent of my Chu country."

"If it were someone else, I really didn't believe it would be able to do this, if it was Lord Qin, then it would be right. This kind of feat can only be done by Lord Qin. ”

"Little Jin Guo is so ignorant of life and death, he has provoked Lord Qin, it is really normal to have such an end."

Some people are starting to shoot sycophants, and they are all shooting at a very high level.

However, Qin Ming still kept a calm face and didn't say a word during the whole process.

At this moment, the eldest princess suddenly spoke: "Father, Lord Qin Ming has made such a great contribution, how are you going to reward him?" ”

The emperor was stunned for a moment, looked at his eldest daughter in surprise, and then a satisfied smile appeared on his face.

Originally, he thought that his eldest daughter was going to make trouble with Qin Ming, but he didn't expect that she didn't do it.

This made the emperor a little relieved, but he didn't expect the eldest daughter to finally recognize the reality and be smart this time.

In fact, when it came to this part, the eldest princess didn't expect Qin Ming to make such a big contribution.

Therefore, she was no longer ready to use the reason that the grain and grass had not arrived on time to do the right thing with Qin Ming.

Because at this time, he still took this out and wanted to convict Qin Ming, which was undoubtedly a fool's behavior.

Therefore, not only did she not mention the delay in the escort of grain and grass, but also took the initiative to mention the matter of rewarding Qin Ming.

This made her gain the favor of the emperor, so the emperor was about to speak.

However, at this time, I heard Qin Ming suddenly say first:

"Her Royal Highness the eldest princess, the ministers have merit, but they dare not be arrogant. Therefore, the theory of rewarding is for the time being. Let's talk about the minister's guilt first, right? ”

If the eldest princess doesn't say it, it doesn't mean that some things are forgotten, so Qin Ming mentioned it himself.

Hearing Qin Ming's words, the eldest princess frowned slightly:

"Lord Qin personally went to the battlefield to be free, and it is even more meritorious to negotiate to obtain five cities, what is the crime?"

There are ministers around who also said: "Yes, Lord Qin, your merits are so great, let me admire them, how can I be responsible?" ”

"Lord Qin, aren't you too modest."

"Frequently make meritorious contributions, but do not take credit for themselves, Lord Qin is really a model for the younger generation."

Now that Qin Ming has such a great credit on him, no matter how much he hates him, he will definitely not offend him at this moment, and he has to pat himself on the back.

However, Qin Ming walked to the middle and said confidently:

"Your Majesty, the minister did not arrive at the border gate at the specified time to escort the grain and grass, and the minister is guilty!"
