「Shangjing」
In the imperial court, a Holy Decree issued early in the morning stunned everyone.
Ancient Wen Heng was unexpectedly appointed Inspector General of Yi Province, skipping the Secondary Third Rank entirely and landing firmly in a Standard Third Rank position.
All the officials in the imperial court had mixed feelings. They had all climbed the ladder one step at a time to reach their positions.
But Ancient Wen Heng had skipped ranks several times in a row.
"Is it really a good thing for this Ancient Wen Heng to keep skipping ranks like this?" The moment the Emperor left, people began to gossip.
"Mr. Yu, you certainly kept this under wraps. How could you not let a single whisper of such big news get out?" Several Chiefs of Staff gathered around Yu Ligao, the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel.
Yu Ligao replied, "My fellow officials, that's an interesting thing to say. Do you all go around broadcasting the internal affairs of your own ministries?"
