The hot air balloon slowly landed under Xiao Letian's control.
The ministers outside the palace, who were dumbfounded at first, have long since become anxious ants on a hot pot.
It wasn't until they saw Emperor Jing and others landing safely that they all breathed a sigh of relief and then swarmed up.
They gathered around the rattan basket, and everyone began to express concern.
Emperor Jing stepped out of the rattan basket and swayed a bit, feeling an unusually solid feeling return to his heart.
He couldn't help but said: "It's better to go on the ground."
Li Yansong couldn't help but ask: "Your Majesty, how does it feel to be in the sky? What did you see?"
Emperor Jing thought about it and sighed: "I saw it, I saw the whole palace, and I saw the mountains and rivers of my great scenery..."
Who wants to ask this!
"Your Majesty, is there a heavenly palace in the sky?" Zhang Dong turned on the exclamation mode when he saw Emperor Jing, and quickly added.
A pair of small eyes stared at Emperor Jing, intent on finding the answer in his mouth.
Everyone below is worried about the safety of the emperor and prince on the one hand, and on the other hand, they are concerned about the affairs of the Heavenly Palace.
Emperor Jing was speechless. It seemed that everyone was thinking about this issue.
"I didn't see the Heavenly Palace, I only saw the earthly world, but the scenery was beautiful."
Everyone was immediately disappointed. It turned out that they had not seen the Heavenly Palace.
Li Yansong smiled bitterly and said: "Your Majesty, I ask you not to take this dangerous route again. I really can't bear this."
Emperor Jing glanced at everyone, raised his head and glanced at the sky again, and said with a smile: "My dear friends, don't worry, it's very cold in the sky, I won't go there again."
"No further talk, Fang Qing and I have already understood the situation in heaven."
"The great victory at Yishun was due to the crown prince sending troops to help. But the one who made the greatest contribution was Xiao Letian from Dongjiao College."
"Without it, there wouldn't be this flying surprise attack!"
"Xiao Letian, I want to reward you. If you have any ideas, you can tell me."
Everyone present had no time to think too much and all looked at Xiao Letian.
Xiao Letian blushed at being looked at, and he inevitably became nervous again, hesitating and saying: "The common people... I don't know, if it weren't for Principal Fang, the common people would not be where they are today. The common people don't dare to take credit."
Fang Zheng immediately showed a kind smile.
What a good student! What a good student!
Emperor Jing said: "I will certainly appreciate his contribution, and I am asking you now. Since you don't know, let me ask you, are you willing to serve as an official in the court?"
Enter the court as an official?
As soon as these four words appeared, they appeared in Xiao Letian's mind like a curse.
Before entering Dongjiao University, if someone had told him that he could directly join the court as an official, he would have agreed without hesitation.
But now I have found my own way and have my own hobbies.
Are we going to go back to our old ways?
Moreover, his father has high expectations for him. He will definitely be very happy if he really becomes an official in the court.
Should I agree...or not?
As soon as Fang Zheng stood beside him, he roughly guessed the whole story when he saw the troubled look on his face.
He approached Xiao Letian and said, "Choose whatever you want in your heart, don't think about anything else first."
Xiao Letian was stunned for a moment and whispered: "Thank you principal."
Then he raised his head and said: "Your Majesty, I don't want to be an official. I just want to study in school. I hope your Majesty will forgive me."
Emperor Jing didn't care, he nodded and said: "Okay, then today I will give you a thousand taels of gold, a hundred bolts of silk, grain..."
After Emperor Jing finished speaking, Fang Zheng said: "Your Majesty, this material reward is certainly good. I know that Xiao Letian is a filial son, and his father hopes that he will have a good reputation. I sincerely ask your Majesty to give him another set of inscriptions written by the emperor. , taking it home will fulfill his filial piety."
Emperor Jing smiled slightly and said, "Yes. But what word should I give it to?"
"College graduates, college souls!" Fang Zheng said happily.
Once this picture is hung, the publicity effect will explode!
Why don’t the students at school go to death to learn from me? If you want to be a master, give me a college entrance examination!
Xiao Letian swallowed hard.
Inscribed by the emperor? If you take this back to your father, will he go crazy with joy?
Thinking of this, Xiao Letian's knees softened, he knelt on the ground and kowtowed and said excitedly: "The common people thank your majesty for your grace!"
"You should go home first. Someone will come to your home later to deliver the message. Today has really opened my eyes. You can do good research in the Academy of Sciences in the future." Emperor Jing said.
Xiao Letian thanked him again and again, and was then sent out of the palace by the eunuch.
Fang Zhengyi said cheerfully: "Your Majesty, today's deliberations between the DPRK and China are not over yet."
"The historians in the palace said that the evil trend of science has spread to the people and is not beneficial to the people."
"But hot air balloons can achieve great results only through useless theories such as science. I don't know how many soldiers were saved in the battle of Yishun, and how much money was saved for the court."
"As for whether science is good or bad, I think this question should have an answer now. What do you think, Mr. Shi?"
Shi Zhong forced a smile, lowered his head and did not dare to say anything.
The facts are in front of us, and they are so hard. Besides, it is really shameless.
Seeing that Shi Zhong had nothing to say, Fang Zheng turned his attention to Xu Wenshu.
"Master Xu, aren't you curious about where the money I asked from the Ministry of Finance went? You saw it today." Fang Zheng held up his hands and looked like he wanted to be beaten.
Xu Wenshu laughed awkwardly: "I know, but if Mr. Fang had told me as soon as possible, I wouldn't have to talk anymore."
"I told you earlier, do you understand?" Fang Zhengyi raised his voice.
The ministers could not help but shake their heads.
It's over, this bitch can't be ignored... let him have the upper hand again.
Emperor Jing stood aside silently watching Fang Zhengyi's performance until no one spoke.
Emperor Jing said: "A great victory in Yishun, killing more than 8,000 enemies! How many years has it been since our Dajing has achieved such results?"
"The Academy of Sciences and Dongjiao University deserve the first credit this time! Fang Qing, you can ask for anything you want today."
Can I tell it myself? Why is the old father-in-law so generous this time?
Fang Zhengyi looked at Emperor Jing in confusion.
Emperor Jing nodded slightly towards him.
Fang Zheng understood it in an instant and took time to say: "Your Majesty, Xiao Letian was originally just a poor scholar. He only wanted to come to Eastern Suburbs University after many failed attempts. Unexpectedly, he unexpectedly discovered his talent."
"There are many students like this in Eastern Suburbs University. Some are the sons of carpenters, and some are descended from blacksmiths. But they all chose different majors in school from their ancestors."
"Although they study hard, they will inevitably join the private sector after graduation. These people will be restricted by their household categories in the future. If a son inherits his father's business and cannot put what he has learned into practice, wouldn't it be a waste of resources and time?"
"What if there is a genius like Xiao Letian among them, wouldn't it be buried? This is not only a loss for the court, but also a loss for the world!"
"Therefore, I have only one wish. I hope that the imperial court will provide graduates of Dongjiao University with an opportunity to change their household classification!"
"Okay, I'm sure about this." Emperor Jing glanced at the ministers: "Does anyone have any objections?"
