"Solve the case?"
Ye Zi'e frowned, her expression doubtful.
How significant must a case be to achieve such rapid promotions in such a short period?
Qilin Pavilion has had no precedent of this nature.
Could it be the invisible hand within the palace exerting its influence?
"Quiet, please."
Luo Huaijin tapped the table, and once the room had quieted down, he spoke up, "I assu everyone has heard of the events that transpired recently, especially regarding Chen Qianhu's promotion. Rumors have been rampant, with so even claiming he's the Commander's illegitimate son—utterly absurd!"
"..."
Chen Mo's lips twitched slightly.
He hadn't expected such a strong reaction within Qilin Pavilion, even giving him a father out of thin air...
"To clarify the facts and correct misconceptions, I have compiled Mr. Chen's achievents for your review," Luo Huaijin said, raising his hand, and a stack of docunts appeared and landed in front of everyone.
Ye Zi'e quickly reached out to grab them, flipping through.
The so-called achievents were issued by the Ministry of Personnel, including evaluations and political achievents, crucial for determining an official's eligibility for promotion.
The docunt before her detailed all the accomplishnts of Chen Mo, densely packed over several pages.
Most of this she already knew and skimd over, her eyes focusing on the highlighted text at the bottom:
[...On the Heavenly Gift Day, during the sacrifice ceremony, Prince Yu's rebel party, in collaboration with the Demon Clan, suddenly caused havoc. The Imperial Army suffered heavy casualties, and the Crown Prince was entrenched in peril... At the ti, Chen Mo, Deputy Thousand Households in the Sky Scale Guard, stepped forward, slaying demons and ensuring the Crown Prince's escape from danger...]
[Subsequently, he pursued for thousands of miles, killing the culprits Chu Heng and his conspirators in the eastern wilderness of Tiandu City...]
[Later proceeded to the southern suburbs, demonstrating divine skills, bringing tily rains and saving thousands of civilians...]
[His rits in escorting royalty, bringing down evil, and rescuing the people are remarkable and deserve great reward to encourage loyalty and bravery.]
Ye Zi'e's lips parted slightly, her expression shifting from bewildernt to shock.
Earlier, she heard ntions of "Chu Heng" and "prison break" but hadn't anticipated that the upheaval was orchestrated by the heir of Prince Yu?
Not only did Chen Mo excel in escorting the Crown Prince, quelling the rebellion, and slaying the chief culprit, he even saved the injured civilians of South City... So he single-handedly took all the credit, while others were just sitting idle?
The most critical issue—this guy actually reached the Third Grade!
No wonder he was imdiately promoted without waiting for next year's evaluation...
A grandmaster at twenty years old, with such case-handling ability, go on and take the position, who can take it better than you?
The achievents were passed around for everyone to review.
After seeing the contents, there was silence.
They had heard about this earlier but had certain doubts. After all, this person was too young, with such strong connections, it's hard not to form certain associations.
Now with black-and-white evidence, stamped by the Ministry of Personnel, they were naturally convinced.
"Mr. Chen is truly a dragon among n, we are deeply impressed!"
"Since ancient tis, heroes erge in youth, like it or not!"
"Mr. Chen appointing as the Fire Departnt Thousand Households is truly well-deserved!"
After a brief silence, everyone began to speak up.
Chen Mo naturally returned their courtesy with a modest deanor.
He understood Luo Huaijin's intention in doing this, intentionally gathering people from the North and South Towns to clear obstacles for him and secure his position.
Since he could get the achievents from the Ministry of Personnel, there must be the influence of Her Majesty the Empress behind it.
Once the issue was cleared, the assembly officially began.
Each departnt's Thousand Households reported their duties, with the assistants recording and handing them to Shi Jingxuan and Mu Zhen for imdiate approval.
Chen Mo sat quietly, listening attentively and observing everyone's expressions.
The Sky Scale Guard was infiltrated by two factions, party struggles intensified, Qilin Pavilion was no exception.
Yun He and Ye Zi'e were steadfast mbers of the Imperial Consort Faction, often clashing with the Gold and Wood Departnts' Thousand Households. They not only obstructed each other in practice but also exchanged barbed words, filled with animosity.
Shi Jingxuan, however, remained calm and composed, evidently accustod to it.
anwhile, the South Town Patrol Departnt was much more peaceful, primarily responsible for internal discipline and intelligence, firmly controlled by Mu Zhen, making it difficult for others to interfere.
While Chen Mo observed others, they were also surreptitiously assessing him.
The Chen Family was a core mber of the Imperial Consort Faction, yet Chen Mo was favored by the Empress, also serving as a Guard General in the palace, his affiliations complex, making it impossible to decipher his stance.
Everyone in Qilin Pavilion was sharp, unwilling to make enemies without reason.
Thus, Chen Mo was temporarily categorized as "soone to recruit and never to offend."
History has repeatedly shown that anyone targeted by this man, be it an imperial official or a royal relative, t a grim fate!
Demotions were the least of their concerns; worse was execution and extermination!
One would have a death wish to provoke this Living Yama...
...
...
Once everyone's reports were concluded, it was already evening, and the assembly was nearly over.
Luo Huaijin looked at Ye Zi'e and said, "Recently, Commander Ye has been pursuing the remnants of the Gu God Sect in the Southern Border, not only killing over a hundred sect mbers but also tracking down the Sect Hierarch, quite ritorious."
Chen Mo glanced at Ye Zi'e.
Previously, Zi Lianji went to Golden Sun State to capture a fugitive, tracking him all the way to the Southern Border, claiming to have t a mad woman who resorted to violence at the drop of a hat... it must be this Commander Ye.
