The whole class traveled through time, the prince's wife was exiled to the wasteland and became

what?

County...county magistrate?

Or the magistrate of Jingshui County?

Everyone's eyes turned to Xue Wei, and everyone's face had an expression of "this guy is crazy"!

Where is Jingshui County?

The nearest border county to the Bol grassland belongs to Sucheng, and is closely adjacent to the Gada district on the Bol border, separated by a long street for trade.

Now the market is closed, Jingshui's arable land has become wasteland, and on windy days the sand and dust blow up so high that people are covered in dust. Jingshui County is almost turning into a ghost town!

Not to mention the arrogant Bor herdsmen in Gada, who burned, killed, looted, and even dared to drive away the envoys sent by Dasheng. They also demonstrated by riding horses and herding sheep near Jingshui County from time to time. Almost all the people in Jingshui County ran away, leaving only a group of old, weak, and sick people waiting to die.

Now, Xue Wei, a top scholar, is going to be a county magistrate in such a remote place?

How can you ever succeed? It's like destroying your own future!

Only officials who have committed serious mistakes and are demoted to exile will be banished to such a godforsaken place!

Could it be that the thunder just now damaged Xue Wei’s brain?

Now that you've asked for it, why don't you ask for a comfortable high-ranking position, but instead ask for a dead end for yourself? !

Emperor Qingning came back to his senses after a long while: "Xue Wei, do you know what you are talking about?"

Only officials who have committed serious mistakes and are demoted to exile will be demoted to serve as county magistrate in a remote place like Jingshui!

"You are a top scholar with a promising future in the imperial court. Why do you want to be a county magistrate in Jingshui?"

Emperor Qingning was a little crazy, he could never have imagined that the official position Xue Wei asked for would be a seventh-rank county magistrate!

Or he's the county magistrate in a dangerous area who might die in office!

Could it be that the attack from these scholars and ministers just now left Xue Wei with a psychological trauma, and he no longer wanted to stay in the capital and face the factional disputes?

Emperor Qingning almost roared at Xue Wei, "Tell me, why is this? You must give me a reason today!"

Zhou Jushan stood behind Emperor Qingning and watched him drool with excitement. He couldn't help but complain in the group: [This dog emperor, he is not happy to be a high-ranking official, and he is reluctant to be demoted to the grassroots. ]

【@江麗麗: He just wants everyone to listen to his arrangements. The position that the student committee member requested is really great. With the group chat cheat code, he can go to Jingshui to be the county magistrate. He can quickly make achievements and get promoted quickly. He also doesn't have to get up early to attend court and face the intrigues of the ministers every day! 】

【@薛蔚: Li Li, you understand me! It’s better to be a local emperor in the northwest border and do some practical work than to be trembling with fear here, and you don’t have to get up early for work, and the boss doesn’t check on you! 】

Of course, Xue Wei replied that Emperor Qingning would not dare to say so.

Facing the excited Emperor Qingning and the confused ministers, Xue Wei's brows were relaxed and his eyes were bright. He said loudly: "I just want to do practical things for Dasheng. It doesn't matter what official position I hold, as long as Your Majesty can see my sincere heart."

"They said that my views on the northwest were well prepared and well-sounding, so I will go there in person and give Your Majesty another answer with practical actions!"

Xue Wei's answer exploded like thunder in Emperor Qingning's heart. He never expected that the reason why Xue Wei asked for an official position was like this!

Such a noble character. Emperor Qingning thought of his previous misunderstanding and flattery, and felt guilty for his malicious speculation. The young man in front of him was so magnanimous!

Wang Yiren was dumbfounded. "Xue Wei, you, are you just trying to attract attention? You actually have no intention of going to the northwest, you just want His Majesty to be reluctant to let you go!"

Xue Wei responded to Wang Yi's speculation: "I am serious. Your Majesty just said that you will grant me any position I want. I dare not joke with Your Majesty."

"I will leave for the northwest tomorrow. Lord Wang, remember to come and see me off."

Xue Wei had a frank face and spoke very seriously. Seeing that Xue Wei was serious, Emperor Qingning was even more reluctant to let him go. It would be a pity if such a noble talent died in the northwest. "Xue Wei, have you really thought it through?"

——"I will devote myself to Dasheng wherever I go, and now it is urgent to solve the problem in the northwest, so I will go to the place where I am most needed!"

Xue Wei's words almost hooked Emperor Qingning into a black bass. His eyes were moved and his throat choked with sobs.

How many people today can have such a pure heart, willing to give up the fine clothes and delicious food in the capital, risk their lives, and go to a small border town to serve as a county magistrate?

Xue Wei's words were deeply imprinted in Emperor Qingning's heart!

"Your Majesty knows best that my father Xue Yun does not participate in factional disputes or form cliques."

"During the palace examination a few days ago, many of my classmates proposed many countermeasures based on my answers. I was very pleased and felt that everyone was working hard to find a solution to the Northwest Dilemma of Dasheng."

Xue Wei turned around and glanced at the new scholars behind him: "But today, I saw these classmates and Lord Wang working together to target me. I am very disappointed."

"Xue Wei has been influenced by my father since he was a child. He disdains internal fighting and criticism of himself. The northwest of Dasheng is facing an unprecedented crisis. The court should work together with Your Majesty to fight the enemy."

His voice was as clear as the collision of jade, resounding: "If Xue Wei's actions today can set an example and inspire all colleagues to focus on striving for the prosperity of Dasheng, Xue Wei, this life is clear!"

As soon as Xue Wei finished speaking, all the ministers and the newly graduated scholars felt a burning pain on their faces!

Compared with these courtiers who were talking nonsense, Xue Wei's vision was already at the grand level!

And their just-prepared conspiracy theory that Xue Wei colluded with Master Xue and his son was a joke in comparison with Xue Wei's frank and generous performance.

Others have already thought about revitalizing Dasheng, but they are still jumping up and down for their own interests.

Tutor Xue was already in tears at this time. His son's heroic act was not only to protect himself, but also to protect him, his old father!

He choked up and yelled at Xue Wei: "Wei'er, you are confused! It's okay for your father to suffer some grievances. I have been through this for so many years!"

Master Xue wiped his tears and burst into tears: "As a father, I would rather you be more selfish! Find a high position for yourself, instead of risking your life to be a county magistrate in a remote place!"

Xue Wei shook his head at Grand Tutor Xue: "Father, you taught me since I was a child that today is the right time, and there are always people who are carrying the burden and moving forward."

"Now I am ready to serve Dasheng, devote myself to the emperor, and let the people live a better life. This is my original intention of participating in the imperial examination system!"

Xue Taifu felt extremely guilty. He had never said these words. Even at this point, the second son was still trying to gain loyalty in front of His Majesty. He was such an incompetent father.

Emperor Qingning was deeply moved when he saw the deep love between the Xue family father and son and their dedication to the country.
