Princess is Glamorous in Modern Day-Chapter 1570 - 1570 Red Clothes Like Fire
1570 Red Clothes Like Fire
“Ministers, wait. I still have something to give you.”
Hearing Xia Wei’s words, everyone turned around and bowed. Then, they waited to see what Xia Wei was going to give everyone.
However, the eunuchs and palace maids in the hall did not move at all. Only Xia Wei sat up high. He glanced at the people in the hall. “I want to announce something. Those who come today are all geniuses of the world. As long as they’re willing to stay in my royal court, they can be exempted from the test and enter the Hanlin Academy. They’ll be released as officials a year later.”
Everyone was shocked by this.
In this era of the Great Xia Dynasty, it was still hereditary. The positions of officials and nobles were hereditary. Ordinary people had no chance of entering the royal court.
The prince consort selection this time was an exception. It faced the entire country. Whether rich or poor, as long as one had talent, they could be nominated. There was no lack of men with low backgrounds.
Hearing Xia Wei’s words now was undoubtedly a huge blow to everyone’s worldview.
However, Xia Wei still felt that it was not enough and added, “After the new dynasty is established, an official assessment system will be implemented. You will be promoted based on your political achievements. As long as you have the ability, even a young man with a weak crown can sit in my dynasty’s prime minister position.”
Xie Yun stood up at the right time. “Those who are willing to stay and serve the imperial court can register with me today. Those who are not willing to stay, His Majesty has given you a generous reward. You can leave on your own.”
There were more than a hundred people present. Everyone hesitated for a moment before someone finally led the way to Xie Yun. “I’m willing to stay.” “I’m willing too!” 𝗳𝐫𝘦e𝘸𝗲𝚋𝓃𝚘v𝘦𝘭.𝑐𝒐m
In the end, there were about eighty people who were willing to stay. Only a few chose to leave with the reward.
However, to Xia Wei, more than eighty was enough.
These people could pass through layers of selection and were already one in a million young talents. As long as they were nurtured slightly, they would definitely be pillars in the future.
After everyone dispersed, Xie Yun walked forward. “Congratulations, Your Majesty. You got what you wanted.”
From the beginning, Xie Yun could tell what Xia Wei meant. He just had ulterior motives. What he really wanted was fresh blood and disciples that could be completely used by him.
Thinking that he had obtained so many talents in a day, Xia Wei was in a good mood. The corners of his lips curled up slightly. “Prime Minister, you win my heart the most.”
“Your Majesty, you’re so kind.”
“However.” Xia Wei glanced at Xie Yun. “I’ve always respected my sister’s intentions. I’m also very regretful that my beloved minister couldn’t become the emperor’s son-in-law. I can agree to one request of yours as compensation.”
Xie Yun smiled and shook her head. “Your Majesty, I knew from the beginning that that person could not be mine.”
Looking at Xie Yun’s disappointed expression, for some reason, Xia Wei felt an inexplicable emotion in his heart. It was as if he could also feel Xie Yun’s current emotions.
That helplessness of being unable to love was like a knife cutting through one’s heart bit by bit. Why did I feel this way??
However, he quickly stopped dwelling on this question and treated it as him feeling regretful for Xie Yun.
There were so many things that Dynasty needed him to do every day. This small ripple could not arouse his attention at all.
In front of him was another memorial that the ministers had advised him to set up as soon as possible. Xia Wei frowned and flipped open the memorial. Inside were beauties sent from all directions, all of them for Xia Wei.
Xia Wei casually glanced at it and his gaze paused on a woman with bright facial features in red.
However, it was only for a moment. Xia Wei only felt that the woman’s passionate appearance in red had a different feeling.
