My Sisters Excel in Both Literary and Martial Arts - Chapter 282

[Chapter 279: Granting an Officer (Third Update)]

Then step down, right?

Chen Jiannan thought he heard wrongly, but when he looked at Jing Zhe, he was still standing there. Emperor An had never spoken to him from beginning to end.

He was a little confused.

I don’t know whether Emperor An valued him too much or despised Jing Zhe too much.

Then I thought about it, and thought that maybe it was because he was the first in the general examination. He could choose a doctorate in Taixue or a bachelor’s degree, and Emperor An would ask him. However, Jing Zhe had no official options at all. When he was given an official position, he directly contacted Jing Zhe. Did you bring it along with you?

Thinking of this, I couldn’t be more excited.

“Thank you, Your Majesty!”

He said again, and then pulled Jing Zhe who was in a daze.

“Let’s go!”

“Huh?”

Jing Zhe glanced at him, “Where to go?”

“Your Majesty asked us to step back!”

Chen Jiannan showed off in a low voice: “In the court, you have to learn to figure out His Majesty’s meaning. Didn’t you listen? The official position that His Majesty has given us is the Bachelor of Bohe? Now let us stand down!”

Jing Zhe looked at him like a fool, shook his head and said, “You go, I leave, some people will be unhappy.

“Who?”

Chen

Jiannan asked suspiciously, still thinking that you are being sentimental!

Emperor An saw Chen Jiannan muttering something under his breath with Jing Zhe, and said with some displeasure, “Didn’t I ask you to step back?”

“…”

As soon as he finished speaking, Sui Shouren walked up.

“Grand Bachelor Chen, let’s go!”

“Oh… okay…”

Chen Jiannan was led out by Sui Shouren, and he looked back at Jing Zhe, feeling that things seemed different from what he thought.

Before he could go out, Emperor An asked again: “Jing Zhe, what official position do you want?”

“Your Majesty, I don’t know much about official positions. Everything is left to your Majesty’s arrangement!”

After hearing this, Chen Jiannan He snorted coldly.

What I told you last night was that I was playing the piano to others, but now you are saying that you don’t know much about it? Just wait to be laughed at!

But Emperor An was far from being as quick and direct as when he spoke to Chen Jiannan. Instead, he asked again: “What about the official title?”

“The official title, at least the fifth rank or higher, right?”

“…”

This is what Chen Jiannan heard before going out. The last sentence made his mouth open. He really couldn’t imagine why Jing Zhe was so bold when he came to the court?

To be honest, he wanted to stay and continue to listen. Why would Jing Zhe be blamed by Emperor An for being so open-minded? In the end, he might not even be able to get a bachelor’s degree from Bohe!

Thinking of this, he became even happier.

He didn’t leave the palace, but stood aside, waiting for Jing Zhe to come out and laugh at him.

…

“As for what kind of official position to give you, it was actually discussed in the court before the last martial arts test started, but an agreement has not yet been reached.”

Emperor An glanced at Jing Zhe, “But last time, Zhu Aiqing once said that you You should be rewarded for winning the first place in the Poetry Society, and you should be rewarded for winning the third prince of Southern Qi. My suggestion is to grant you an official position of fifth rank or above, and you defeated the Southern Qi Yinxiu Army severely in the competition yesterday. , This request is not too much!”

In one sentence, the tone was set.

The ministers in the court didn’t have much objection to this. They expected Jing Zhe to be awarded a higher official position. After all, he had made extraordinary achievements repeatedly. The only thing they were curious about now was whose camp he chose!

But opposition arose.

“Your Majesty, no!”

Naturally, it was Bai Qingyuan, the gong who had been prepared.

“It’s not okay. You know it’s not okay every day. Is it because you can’t have children because it’s not okay?”

When the troll appears, the troll will naturally not be willing to be lonely.

In order to attract Jing Zhe into his camp, Yu Sheng was suffering from no chance to perform, so Bai Qingyuan jumped out just as he wanted.

“Mr. Yu Guo, you’d better pay attention to your words! What we are discussing now is a major matter related to Anguo’s country and the country!”

Bai Qingyuan said angrily.

“A major event in Jiangshan Sheji? With Jing Zhe’s ability, if you really consider Anguo, you shouldn’t object!”

Yu Sheng snorted coldly, still thinking in his heart, Bai Qingyuan had better object more fiercely, in the style of others , I definitely don’t want to lose face in the court and argue with Bai Qingyuan.

He is different. He will keep chasing Bai Qingyuan and scolding him, hoping to make Jing Zhe see his sincerity.

After taking a look at Jing Zhe, Yu Sheng felt proud.

Bai Qingyuan’s face turned livid, and he sighed in his heart. Every time like this, he was fighting alone. He was already feeling tired, and he was also secretly thinking, should he retreat behind the scenes after this whole thing?

If he was scolded so many times again, he would be afraid of losing his life!

“Your Majesty!”

He no longer looked at Yu Sheng, but turned to Emperor An.

The strange thing is that when Emperor An’s proposal is opposed by Bai Qingyuan, Emperor An always frowns and sighs, but today Emperor An is uncharacteristically smiling.

“Bai Aiqing, just tell me what you think!”

Bai Qingyuan thought about it for a while, but couldn’t think of a reason, so he said: “Your Majesty, the minister said yesterday at the hunting ground…”

Before the competition started yesterday, Bai Qingyuan said Jing Zhe asked Emperor An to punish him because he was too reckless, and asked Emperor An to give him an official below the fifth rank.

But after hearing this, Emperor An waved his hands and said: “Bai Aiqing, don’t mention what you said yesterday! Although Jing Zhe was reckless, didn’t the third prince of Southern Qi come here to see An Guo’s jokes? Besides, even if Jing Zhe contradicted them, in the end he The merits of repelling the Yinlui Army outweighed the faults, or at least the merits and demerits were equal, so how can we punish him?”

Although An Di said vaguely, none of the ministers present were fools. After careful consideration, they figured out what Bai Qingyuan was talking about. , there was a lot of discussion in the court instantly.

Bai Qingyuan felt a little embarrassed, but still raised his head and maintained the last stubbornness of a master.

“Your Majesty, in the more than 50 years since we founded the country, there has never been a precedent of directly promoting common people to the rank of fifth-rank officials. Even the former Zhu Sheren, who was extremely talented and knowledgeable, and had an extraordinary life experience, was not given a She is a sixth-grade official?”

Bai Qingyuan said, using Zhu Xinning as an example.

“Taifu Bai, our situations are different and we can’t compare them together!”

When it came to matters involving his younger brother, Zhu Xinning walked out.

“When I was given the official title, it was because I won the first place in the Mid-Autumn Poetry Society, and as a rule, I should have been awarded the title of Bachelor of Bohe. His Majesty allowed me to be admitted to Zhongshu. It was already very gracious to me. How can I improve my rank further? Zhu

Xinning glanced at Jing Zhe again and continued: “But Zhe’er is different. Not only did he win the first place in the Mid-Autumn Poetry Competition, he also won the title of the third prince of Southern Qi, and he protected the name of An Guo and Princess Mo Chen.”

Marry

. And yesterday Zhe’er made another outstanding achievement in the hunting ground, which is worthy of thousands of troops fighting against Nan Qi on the battlefield. These two achievements in a row are not comparable to the first place in the ordinary poetry meeting!”

Turning to Emperor An: “So I hope your Majesty will think twice!”

“I hope your Majesty will think twice!”

This time, more than half of the ministers begged for mercy.
