On the wedding night, the villain husband cried and his eyes turned red

Before the news of the war between the two countries officially came out, Xu Shihuan faced the Hanlin Academy's assessment. After the assessment, the faces of her colleagues became uglier than the last, but she herself felt somewhat confident.

A few days later, the results of the assessment were posted in the most obvious place in the Hanlin Academy, with Xu Shihuan's name appearing at the top.

"I really admire Mr. Xu for hiding his secrets."

"Master Jiang, we have all seen Master Xu's hard work these days. It is expected that she can achieve such results."

Jiang Zhuang and Tan Hua's results were not ideal, and they were almost among the bottom ones, but at least they did not have to pay a salary penalty.

Seeing Xu Shihuan get the first place in the exam, he was envious and a little jealous, and he seemed a little bit weird when he spoke.

Xu Shihuan didn't take their reactions to heart. She knew in her heart that although she had worked hard these days, she was not as good as her colleagues who had worked in the Hanlin Academy for many years.

If it were all based on her performance in this assessment, she would definitely not be able to get the first place given her strength. Unless, the emperor has already received the news that Suwu Kingdom is preparing to go to war, and wants to use her to betray the Guan family.

Sure enough, as soon as Xu Shihuan arrived home, the imperial edict from the palace was delivered. She didn't have time to think too much and knelt on the ground to accept the order honestly.

Xu Shihuan realized belatedly that he had suddenly changed from a Hanlin Academy review to a Hanlin Academy editor, from a seventh-grade to a sixth-grade.

The father-in-law who came to deliver the message took the banknote handed by the servant with a smile and kept saying auspicious words:

"Your Majesty, you're welcome. It's only been more than a month since you entered the Hanlin Academy, and you've been promoted from reviewing to compiling. Xu Cheng has been promoted in recent years, and he's not as fast as you."

"Our family believes that it won't take long for you to catch up with your father."

Xu Shihuan knew that this father-in-law was deliberately trying to please him. He said this, on the one hand, to sell well in front of himself, and on the other hand, he also wanted to pry.

So Xu Shihuan smiled and said modestly:

"Father, please stop coaxing me. I still have a long way to go in the future. I just want to benefit the people and relieve the emperor's worries."

Hearing what Xu Shihuan said, the father-in-law smiled even more and continued:

"You're welcome, Mr. Xu. Your good fortune is yet to come. We still have things to do in the palace, so we won't stay here any longer today. If we have a chance someday, we will definitely have a good chat with Mr. Xu."

After seeing his father-in-law off, Xu Shihuan didn't even have the time to take a sip of water before getting up and returning to the Prime Minister's Mansion. She wanted to ask her father what the emperor's attitude was towards the war in Suwu Kingdom.

"The emperor's attitude is naturally that he wants to win the battle without spending a tael of silver. Why, Xu Jiifa... no, what is Xu Xiuzhan's opinion on this matter?"

Prime Minister Xu was so happy when he saw that the first person his daughter came to after receiving the imperial edict was him. From the seventh rank to the sixth rank, it seems that the official position is not big, but it is only in Yong'an City.

You know, once you leave Yong'an City, the county magistrate will only be a seventh-grade official. If Xu Shihuan could seize the opportunity and leave Yong'an City to practice, it would not be difficult to be promoted to the sixth level after returning.

As expected, after listening to his words, Xu Shihuan smiled sheepishly and said modestly:

"Father, please don't laugh at me. I came here today just to ask for your opinion. The Suwu country is about to go to war with our country. When the time comes, officials will inevitably be sent to Hezhou to support. As you can see , Should I take the initiative to ask for help?"

Seeing that his daughter was asking seriously, Prime Minister Xu also put away the smile on his face and said seriously:

"A war between two countries is not a trivial matter. If you go, you will inevitably take some risks. Besides, there are very few local people in Hezhou. If you go, I'm afraid you won't be able to help."

Hearing this, Xu Shihuan frowned, obviously thinking of the stakes involved. But then, Prime Minister Xu said again:

"In my opinion, you might as well go to Mengzhou. Mengzhou is adjacent to Hezhou. Whatever you want to do, Guan Jiajun will take care of you. Besides, the prefect of Mengzhou is old and only wants to retire in a few years. Return home. If you go there, he won't take any credit from you."

What Prime Minister Xu did not say is that Mengzhou and Hezhou are both bitter and cold places, and most officials are unwilling to go there. Therefore, the post of Mengzhou Tongjian has been vacant for a long time.

If Xu Shihuan and the emperor proposed to go to Mengzhou, the emperor would probably let her take over the position of general judge. As for Tongpan, he was at the sixth level, and Xu Shihuan could take another step up.

After the war with the Suwu Kingdom is over, Xu Shihuan can be transferred back to Yong'an City. At that time, whether it was for her own sake or for the Guan family's victory in the battle, the emperor would inevitably reward Xu Shihuan.

By that time, Xu Shihuan will be in the fifth rank, no, maybe from the fourth rank. Seeing the bright light in his father's eyes, Xu Shihuan understood that if he went to Mengzhou, there would be many benefits.

As expected, Xu Shihuan soon received the news that the emperor asked her to go to court. When the emperor mentioned that he wanted to go to war with the Suwu Kingdom, the ministers were in an uproar. They suddenly understood why the emperor wanted Xu Shihuan, a sixth-grade Hanlin Academy editor, to come to court.

"My dear friends, when the war between the two countries is approaching, what do you think? There is no need to worry, you can speak boldly."

After a moment of silence, Xu Shihuan's voice suddenly sounded:

"Back to the Emperor, Xu Shihuan, the editor of the Hanlin Academy, has something to say."

Sure enough, after a few words, the emperor decided to let Xu Shihuan go to Mengzhou immediately to serve as a general judge and do his best to help the soldiers fighting in Hezhou.

At the same time, the emperor ordered the imperial merchant Wen Yidi to go to Hezhou to be responsible for the preparation of all supplies such as grain, grass, and arms when the war started.

Of course, this also means that the Wen family will be responsible for all the expenses of this war, and the court is actually unwilling to pay even a tael of silver.
