When Mr. Wu learned that his disciple had won third place in the first rank, he couldn't stop grinning. He also felt a sense of relief.
"Good! Well done! I knew that boy was exceptional."
Standing in the courtyard, he watched one wave after another of messengers coming to give the good news, stroking his beard and smiling.
Meanwhile, Mrs. Wu also smiled and said: "This is great. Ajie will surely be able to stay in Beijing."
Anyone who ranks third in the first rank of the examination, without any accidents, would undoubtedly enter the Hanlin Academy. After accumulating a few years of seniority, they would have the chance to enter the cabinet.
This is to say, all the Cabinet officials are graduates of the first rank.
Jiang Jie is so young. In a few years, he will be in the prime of his life. With the emperor's support, rising up to the high ranks of the cabinet will not be unlikely.
