The emperor pretended to be deep in thought.

The minister who supported this suggestion the most stood up again.

"Your Majesty, the people in the northern border are poor. The counties under the northern governorate are so poor that people often starve to death.

"It's a good place for training. It's easiest for the three of them to make a contribution.

"In my opinion, the top three are all top-notch talents. They shall be the first to go to these places.

"Right now, the imperial court is short of talents like them. After they are posted there and trained, they will be able to serve the emperor and the imperial court better when they return to the capital."

Xi Xinheng looked at this person with a faint smile. "Since that place is so good, Minister Hu, why don't you send your grandson to train and return to the capital after he makes contributions there?"

Liang Mingcheng smiled and said, "That's right. Although your eldest grandson is at the bottom among the second-ranked candidates, he is still a scholar. He is more than capable of being a county magistrate."

Hearing their words, Minister Hu was extremely angry.

His grandson had been pampered since he was a child, so how could he endure the bitter cold at the northern border?

Moreover, his eldest grandson was also the heir he had groomed.

He couldn't bear to let him go to the northern border!

However, he really did not know how to refute this.

The emperor wanted to sneer when he saw his expresssion.

However, he had an idea.

"What Minister Hu said makes sense. The imperial court is currently lacking in talent.

"In that case, just as Minister Hu said, let the top three go to the northern border to train."

A smile appeared on Minister Hu's face.

The emperor changed the topic and said, "However, such a training opportunity is hard to come by. We can't just reserve it for the top three.

"The ministers who had proposed to let the three of them go to the northern border to train shall also nominate one of his direct descendents to go to the northern border to train together.

He then added, "This time, those who participated in the enke and clinched the jinshi must be counted in too.

"Minister Hu, let your eldest grandson represent your family then."

Then, Minster Hu's smile froze on his face.

He said with some difficulty, "Your Majesty, this!"

He wanted to find an excuse.

But before he could finish, the emperor said, "If you are reluctant to let your eldest grandson go to the northern border, then the top three first-ranked candidates don't have to go too. They can continue to stay in the Imperial Academy."

Humph, if they wanted to use him as a raft, they had to see if he agreed or not.

Moreover, these people might think that he was unwilling to let Xiao Hanzheng and the other two go to the northern border, so he deliberately did this.
