Chapter 616: Holding Imperial Power Alone
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
When Xiong Qiu stood in front of all the officials and faced the Emperor, he was still nervous and excited.
He had won face for the Xiong Family and his father!
One had to know that once one participated in the court examination, the worst ranking would be the top three scholars. How could one not be excited!
Gu Ying was also among the civil and military officials, but he was at the end of the line. He could only enter the court because of his student, Xiong Qiu.
To be honest, among the five participants, the other four had considered the possibility. However, they had not considered Xiong Qiu. They had not expected Xiong Qiu to be the one who had fought till the last round.
It seemed like he knew too little about Bear Hill.
Xiong Qiu’s father, Lord Xiong, had been so happy that his mouth had not closed since his son entered the palace.
Originally, he had never thought that his son would be so successful. He thought that being able to become a scholar was already enough to bring glory to him. He did not expect that the son who was publicly acknowledged by the capital would actually be able to get a scholar. As expected of his son. He had simply brought shame to his father!
Let’s see what the elders will say when we get back!
Usually, when he brought his son back to his hometown, those elders would always beat around the bush, saying that his son was too naughty and should be properly controlled. Now, he would let them see if his son was a silkpants!
Actually, Ji Hong quite liked Xiong Qiu. He was good-looking and had good knowledge. If it wasn’t for the fact that he was too young and was afraid that he would be arrogant, he would have given him the title of a flower man.
After thinking about it, he still felt that it was not appropriate to let Xiong Qiu enter the Imperial Academy to learn and accumulate experience.
Thus, Xiong Qiu was ranked as a second-class scholar. Even so, the Civil and Martial Arts College that Gu Ying had run was also a hit.
It had only been established, but in the second year, there were already three scholars, two Juren, and one Jinshi.
Even in the famous academies in the capital and other places, such results were not bad.
After the court examinations, the officials retreated, but Gu Ying was surrounded by the lords.
Congratulations to Lord Xue!
“Congratulations, Lord Xue!”
Lord Xiong, who was originally squeezed to the outermost edge by the officials, looked on anxiously. Why did he feel that something was wrong?
It was clearly his son who had passed the Jinshi examination, but he looked like Gu Yings son instead.
Gu Ying finally finished chatting with the officials, but he was stopped by Lord Xiong when he walked out of the crowd.
“Congratulations, Lord Xue!”
Gu Ying…
Lord Bear was speechless. His excitement was actually led astray by those old fogeys.
“Cough!’
Lord Xiong coughed and smiled widely.” My son has achieved what he has today. I’m really grateful to Lord Xue!”
“It is also the result of Xiong Qiu’s own hard work.”
A father and a teacher. The two of them went back and forth, praising each other to the core before ending. They only saw the people beside them feeling jealous and envious.
Immediately, many people decided to send those who weren’t good at home and refused to be disciplined to Gu Yings Civil and Martial Arts College.
Xiong Qiu usually treated Gu Ying like a mouse meeting a cat. In fact, he was very grateful to Gu Ying. He knew how mischievous he was. It was all thanks to Gu Yings guidance that he could have his current results.
Only then did he realize how good he was in the eyes of the dean!
He first parted ways with his classmates, then knelt down in front of Gu Ying and kowtowed three times to express his respect and respect for his teacher, and more importantly, his gratitude.
Gu Ying quickly went forward and pulled Xiong Qiu up with both hands.
“In the future, you must study hard in the Imperial Academy. In the future, you must serve the country and the people.
I trust you!’
“Thank you, teacher. I will remember your teachings!’
Ji Hong felt a little sour as well. Gu Ying was really lucky. However, his own strength could not be underestimated. When he thought about how the talents he had educated were all used by him in the end, he felt more at ease.
Many influential people in the capital expressed their desire to send their children to the Civil and Military Academy.
There were also many people who asked the Xiong Family father and son about the various aspects of the Civil and Martial Arts Institute, such as whether the food and lodging were good or not, and whether the education was definitely not a problem. Some people even felt that their own useless children should be sent there because they did not know how to live at home and lived a luxurious life.
However, Xiong Qiu mentioned how delicious their school canteen was and how good the school was. He directly said that those parents who were of the right age to be sent to the academy were even more moved.
He made up his mind to pack up the children and send them to the Civil and Military Academy in Xihe Village.
Gu Ying naturally had no reason to reject the offer. After informing Ji Hong and obtaining his approval, he got the Xue Family Bodyguard Agency to put up a few recruitment notices for gentlemen in various fields.
This time, he didn’t even need to personally come and ask for a teacher. Many teachers would take the initiative to look for him when they saw Gu Yings recruitment notice. This was because the Civil and Martial Arts Institute was considered famous now. If he became a teacher there, his reputation would naturally not be buried.
Didn’t teachers like them want fame and fortune?
If Xihe Village could produce three Elementary Scholars, two High Scholars, and one Jinshi every year, they would become great scholars in the near future.
Today was the day that Gu Ying and MO Ruyue were going back to their residence. When they left, many officials smiled and watched Gu Ying and his entourage leave. They were glad that they were smart and had foresight. Because they knew that Gu Ying and Princess Ming Yue were going to leave today, they packed up their children and grandchildren in advance and sent them to West River Village with Gu Ying.
“Look at how many people want to go. If we don’t follow today, the academy might not be able to take in so many people.”
“Exactly!
The people who heard it regretted not thinking of this! If they reacted, they would go home and pack for their children. If they sped up, they might be able to catch up with the team.
After Sullo returned to the Northland, the entire imperial city was indeed in a mess. It was a little too much to say that there was no leader in the group of dragons. It was more appropriate for the wolf group to be without a wolf king.
Without the Wolf King, the rest felt that they could become the Wolf King and were eager to try.
As soon as he returned to the Imperial City, Sullo didn’t even have the time to say anything. A few of the officials already showed signs of wanting to control him. He could see it clearly and didn’t even have the time to look at him.
Combined with the Eagle Guards ‘cooperation, he obtained the waist token of the commander of the Imperial Guards in the palace. The Tiger Tally was originally in his hands, but he was sent to Xiliang before he could hand it over to the Emperor. With the military power in hand, Sullo was able to easily control the Imperial City.
The Empress and the Imperial Concubine could not stand the situation where Su Luo held the imperial power alone and wanted to join forces to suppress him.
Su Luo didn’t panic at all. She gave the order,”Men, take down all the traitors who have ulterior motives and are plotting to usurp the throne!””
The imperial guards were originally only loyal to the royal family. Su Luo was now the only person who could order them around. The token that could order them around was also in Su Luffs hands. Seeing that Su Luo had spoken, she took down the empress and the imperial concubine’s party.
When the empress and imperial concubine saw that Sullo had really sent the imperial guards over to capture them, they panicked and raged. Their eves were about to spew out fire.
“Crown Prince, have you ever thought of the consequences of doing this?”
The state uncle raised his head high and glared at Su Luo..
