If there was a reward, there must be a punishment. Those who were caught and waiting to be punished were punished according to the law and were not given any exemptions.
There were many vacant positions among the officials. The imperial examination was already in this month and would only be held next year. Qu Xiao had people directly recommend young talents. He did not want to distinguish between noble and humble. As long as one was talented could do things for the country and the people, and were competent, they were allowed to take the test.
For a moment, Dongxiao was in a state of jubilation.
Qu Xiao then sent someone to send gifts to Da Ling to express his gratitude for Da Ling's help. He also sent a letter of credence and announced to the other countries that as long as he was alive, Dongxiao would never go against Da Ling.
He even announced it to other countries!
