The two nodded and then quietly discussed the books they had read.
The Emperor became interested and asked a few questions about military strategy, to which both responded fluently.
The Emperor frequently nodded, with even more admiration in his eyes.
At the end of the competition, according to the statistics reported by the secretary, You Er and Qi Er took first and second place in the cavalry group.
The top three from the cavalry and infantry groups were all invited to the viewing platform, where the Emperor encouraged them.
Then he gave out rewards.
Everyone else received material rewards, but when it came to You Er and Qi Er, the Emperor paused for a moment, "Jiang Che and Lin Ziqi are promoted to Chiliarch."
The Lord Chief Minister was startled, just about to comment on their young age; the words were swallowed back.
Jiang Youzhi smiled silently.
Qi Er and You Er exchanged a glance, both eyes filled with surprise and joy, kneeling together: "Thank you, Your Majesty!"
