Chapter 531 Before the Martial Arts Exam, Women Passed Half
Jiang Ningwan said calmly, "Let's not talk about the past. I will do what I promised you, so don't worry."
"I guess your family is coming to pick you up, so go back quickly."
Song Mingyu wanted to say something more, but after a moment's hesitation, he didn't say it. "I'll come to thank you another day."
After speaking, he left.
Pei Xunzhi was very curious, "What's going on between you and him?"
"What's he saying thanks for?"
Jiang Ningwan explained, "He almost put that bottle of banned drugs on me today."
Hearing this, Pei Xunzhi was extremely shocked. "Really? Didn't that mean something almost happened?"
Jiang Ningwan nodded.
When she saw Song Mingyu this morning, she felt that he was a little strange, so later, she caught up with Song Mingyu again...
At that time, Song Mingyu was squatting in the corner, holding his head in pain, looking at the medicine bottle in great pain.
"What is this?" Jiang Ningwan asked.
After being discovered, Song Mingyu panicked and tried to hide the medicine bottle but was too late as it was snatched away by Jiang Ningwan.
She opened the bottle and smelled it, and knew what it was.
"You're actually hiding a banned drug? Do you know that this could cause you to fail the martial arts exam and be immediately expelled from Linjiang Pavilion?"
Judging from Song Mingyu's reaction, she felt that this medicine was not something Song Mingyu wanted to use himself.
Song Mingyu was panicked and anxious. Knowing that he could no longer hide the truth, he told everything.
"General Jiang, I'm sorry. The eldest prince gave me this medicine and asked me to put the bottle on you before today's competition."
Hearing this, Jiang Ningwan was slightly startled.
It turns out that Song Mingyu was the person arranged by Qin Chengqian.
Not Fan Fuxing.
"I have failed General Jiang's kindness. I will go find Minister Jiang right away."
Jiang Ningwan came to her senses and pulled him back.
"Since you are struggling internally, it means there is still hope. I will give you a chance to save yourself and the Song family."
Hearing this, Song Mingyu's eyes widened...
……
"So that's how it is! Fortunately, Song Mingyu is not a bad guy, otherwise if the eldest prince succeeds in framing us, we will be in trouble." Pei Xunzhi felt scared after hearing this.
"This time the eldest prince has shot himself in the foot. I don't know how the emperor will deal with it in the end."
Jiang Ningwan said calmly, "I won't deal with it."
"The Emperor has always been partial to the eldest prince."
When the incident happened in Guanjiang Pavilion today, the emperor did not deal with it, so he will not pursue it further afterwards.
Pei Xunzhi sighed, "Then I hope this martial arts exam will end smoothly. If we can select useful talents and the new policies are promising, it will be a great achievement for the Third Prince."
……
The results came out half a month after the martial arts exam.
Crowds of people gathered early in the morning, waiting for the announcement.
Jiang Ningwan and others also arrived early.
This time, only the top five in the first rank will be given important positions and can be directly appointed as military generals, but as long as one can reach the first rank, they will also have the opportunity to serve as an official in the court.
So they just need to focus on Class A and search.
Jiang Ningwan searched for a long time but didn't see any familiar name, and felt a little heavy-hearted.
But at this moment, a cry of surprise came from my ears.
"Oh my God, I'm in the top five!" Pei Xunzhi's shocked voice attracted the attention of everyone around him.
Seeing that she was a woman, they were very surprised and immediately congratulated her: "What a great girl!"
"Congratulations, girl!"
Pei Xunzhi felt a little embarrassed, so he quickly lowered his voice and pulled Jiang Ningwan to the front of the list.
"Look, Xiao Fuxue Jiayi!"
"Song Mingyu is ranked second, Xiao Landong is ranked third!"
"Yan Huixue is in Grade 4, and I'm in Grade 5!"
Pei Xunzhi was so excited that he almost jumped up.
Jiang Ningwan was so frightened that her head was buzzing. She took a long time to react and felt like it was a dream.
Four of the top five made it!
This was something she would never dare to dream of.
Jiang Ningwan continued to look down. The seventh was Xie Caiyun and the ninth was Chen Yuzhu.
Except for Pei Xunzhi, the top five are from Ling Weijun.
And more than half of them are women.
There were also many people who got good rankings, which made Jiang Ningwan happy.
When the results came out, they spread quickly.
For a moment, there was an uproar inside and outside the palace.
"This Ling Weijun is truly extraordinary. He was able to hit so many targets."
"That's right, more than half of the top ten women are here. Who would have thought of that?"
"It's not surprising. The generals of the Ling family in the past were no ordinary people, especially General Ling! Jiang Ningwan can be considered to have inherited General Ling's true teachings."
"If I had known this, I should have sent our rebellious son to the Lingwei Army for proper training."
The next day, the top ten on the list were summoned to the palace.
After the emperor met them in person, he bestowed titles on them one by one. The first five were given official positions, some in Beijing and some sent to various places.
Seeing them receiving rewards one by one, Jiang Ningwan felt indescribably happy.
After leaving the palace, several people returned to the military camp and had a final celebratory drink.
A bonfire was lit on the snow, lamb was roasted, and there was laughter and joy everywhere.
Xiao Fuxue and others raised their glasses, stood up and faced Jiang Ningwan.
With red eyes, she said, "General Jiang, thank you!"
"We sisters never thought we could have official positions, but we never expected it to actually happen!"
Since they started following Jiang Ningwan, they have been very satisfied to be able to join the Lingwei Army and hold some positions in the army.
I didn’t expect that they could be like Jiang Ningwan.
Jiang Ningwan smiled and said with emotion, "You are really hardworking and have earned yourselves a bright future."
If they were not so diligent and hardworking in their daily lives, they would not be able to seize the opportunity when it comes.
"After today, you will each take up your respective posts, and we will be colleagues from now on."
Everyone nodded, "No matter where we go in the future, we will never forget General Jiang's kindness."
Yan Huixue and others had never thought that with their backgrounds, they could become officials and generals. They were so excited that their eyes were filled with tears.
Everyone gathered together to celebrate and thank Jiang Ningwan.
For Jiang Ningwan, although there are fewer personal guards, she will have more allies in the court in the future.
……
This military examination selected many talents for the court, and the emperor was very satisfied.
At the morning court three days later.
The emperor took the initiative to say, "From now on, the imperial examination system will be reformed. Since it was Wen Li who proposed this, then Wen Li will be responsible for it, and the six ministries will assist in improving the system."
"The position of crown prince has been vacant for the past two years. Wen Li is benevolent and considers this new policy a great contribution to the country, so he is appointed crown prince!"
When these words came out, the entire court was shocked and knelt down in unison, "Your Majesty is wise!"
Jiang Ningwan also breathed a sigh of relief.
It’s finally settled.
Qin Chengqian was in a trance, kneeling on the ground for a long time, unable to recover, his head buzzing.
Qin Wenli was made crown prince.
What about him?
Didn’t the Queen Mother say before she passed away that the Emperor had promised to pass the throne to him in the future?
He had always believed this! He thought that once his father had calmed down and he had made some achievements, he would restore his position as crown prince.
How could it be...Qin Wenli?
How can it be!
"Be flat."
All the officials stood up, but Qin Chengqian was still immersed in it and had not come to his senses.
"Crown Prince, please get up." The minister next to him reminded in a low voice.
When Qin Chengqian came to his senses, he seemed to have suffered a heavy blow. He suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood and fell unconscious on the spot.
