Chapter 89: Entering the Imperial Court
The end of the Tai Academy is almost over. The emperor is reading out their respective rankings.
Although Zhou Jinyu's article did a good job, his martial arts were slightly inferior, and he only won the second, and the first was taken away by Ye Minghuan.
In the past year and a half, Zhou Jinyu has always been the first, but as soon as Ye Minghuan came, he took away his first. But he was not angry or jealous, but felt that Ye Minghuan deserved it. He was also thinking about why Ye Minghuan didn't send such a good seedling to Tai Academy to teach. But today he has the answer, this Ye Minghuan is already strong enough among his peers, and it is superfluous to send this Tai Academy.
Shi Qianqian was really as Ye Minghuan expected, ranking high, and it was even better than Ye Minghuan expected. Due to her excellent performance in mimicry training and sword competitions, as well as her previous good results in essay and literature exams, she ranked tenth.
When Emperor Zun asked about their wishes, Ye Minghuan thought about it and felt that there seemed to be nothing they wanted, so he said, "Emperor Zun, the courtiers don't have anything to want for the time being." She paused, and thought that this reward was a traditional rule, and it was not good to want nothing, so she said, "Or, just like the last Xia Shi Festival, wait for the courtiers to think about it and then return to the emperor?" ”
When Emperor Zun heard this answer, he said in his heart that this little girl's speech was much more mellow than last time, and he thought of her performance in the past two days and her article, and felt that she was a lot more stable, so he smiled, "Okay, I agreed!" ”
"Xie Dizun," Ye Minghuan saluted.
Emperor Zun asked other people's wishes, Zhou Jinyu wanted a set of scriptures in the Royal Library Pavilion, it is said that there is only one in the world now, but Emperor Zun still generously rewarded him. The rest of them are nothing more than writing gold, silver and jewelry to subsidize their families, or to be famous and sharp. But when he arrived at Shi Qianqian's place, Shi Qianqian's answer stunned everyone.
This thin and shy girl said to Emperor Zun in a firm tone, "Back to Emperor Zun, after graduating, the grass people want an official position. ”
Emperor Zun was happy to hear this, "Then what official position do you want?" ”
"It is okay for the household department or the criminal department, and the grass people have had a wish since they were young, hoping to enter the court as an official and benefit the people." Shi Qianqian said seriously.
Emperor Zun thought of this little girl's article again, and indeed had a deep understanding of these two departments, and also had his own ideas. So he waved his hand, "I've agreed!" ”
At this time, an official who accompanied the visit stood up and said that the woman was not in accordance with the official etiquette, and there was no precedent. When Emperor Zun heard this, his face also showed a tangled expression.
Hearing this, Ye Minghuan stood up and said respectfully to Emperor Zun, "Emperor Qiqi, since there is no rule that says that women cannot be officials, but only a matter of etiquette, then it is not a big problem. ”
"Oh?" Emperor Zun wondered.
"Emperor Hui, Lord Chen, and the courtiers are the best example and precedent. When the courtier's daughter went out with her father, she served as a centurion, and later was promoted to deputy captain by virtue of her military merits, and her father also reported this matter to the emperor. It's just that later the courtiers left the army and stepped down. ”
"In the future, the courtiers will also inherit their father's title and enter the court to discuss politics. Since courtiers can rely on their military merits to enter the court as officials, then Shi Tong's classmates can also hold corresponding official positions by virtue of her talents, which is not in conflict. ”
"Moreover, the selection of officials is to select people who are capable and talented and can benefit the fairy world, since Shi Tongxue has these conditions, he can naturally hold official positions. When this is spread, the world will not think that my fairy world does not understand etiquette, but sigh that my fairy world and the emperor are well aware of righteousness and are not eclectic. ”
When Emperor Zun heard this, he felt suddenly clear. Master Chen was speechless, so he had to give up.
"Good! What an eclectic! Shi Qianqian, then I promise here that you can enter the Criminal Department or the Ministry of Officials in the future to choose an official position! But you must be a good official and seek your job in your position. Emperor Zun said earnestly.
"Yes!" Shi Qianqian immediately received the order.
After the emperor rewarded him, he praised the outstanding people in this inspection, such as Shi Qianqian, Ye Minghuan, and some other classmates.
The only thing is that there is no mention of Nanjizi. But she didn't go low this time, ranking third. At the end, she looked at Emperor Zun angrily, and glanced at Ye Minghuan and Shi Qianqian, who were talking and laughing. snorted, and then left with Qianrui.
But as soon as he walked out of the school, he was stopped by Zhou Jinyu.
"What's wrong, Brother Jinyu?" Although she is still angry in her heart, she still retains a politeness and shyness towards Zhou Jinyu.
"Dean Zhou is looking for you." Zhou Jinyu actually didn't like Nan Zhenzi to call herself that, and her eyebrows frowned. I didn't fight much more than her, she called herself so old not only did she call herself, but she also seemed to be ambiguous with her, as if there was something.
Nan Jizi was immersed in the excitement of being alone with Zhou Jinyu at this time, and didn't think about why Dean Zhou was looking for him. She just responded delicately, and then followed Zhou Jinyu to Zhou Yanqiu's courtyard.
Along the way, she only cared about thinking about Zhou Jinyu's tall back, and when she arrived at Zhou Yanqiu's courtyard, she saw Dean Zhou, who had always been happy and temperamental, holding a piece of jade, waiting for herself with a heavy face, and she realized that something was wrong.
"Could it be... He called me this time to... What is Ye Minghuan? ”
