Zhou Tian deceived himself and covered the bird's nest with a memorial, proving that he was a good emperor who took care of everything. He looked down with an inquiring gaze and said seriously: "Is there any omission?"
Yin "Huo" fearfully and tactfully bowed his hand: "Back to the emperor, no omissions will be made within the reach of the humble ministers."
"Back to the emperor, so are the ministers." Wang Ping, the Minister of Rites, replied hurriedly. His position is temporary. Whether he can sit firmly depends on the outcome of this time.
Zhou Tian opened the roster, and many of the first twenty names looked familiar to her: "What do the marks mean?"
Yin "Huo" heard this and said respectfully: "Those with blue pen marks are all candidates who can participate in the palace examination. It's just that there is not much difference in knowledge between the few candidates marked with green pen. I don't know how their positions will be arranged on the day of the palace examination. Please
Your Majesty, please give me your instructions."[
Zhou Tian looked at their names and frowned slightly. Duan Jingjin, Zhang Yihan, Xin Shu, Song Shuang, and a few others she didn't recognize. The last one just looked familiar, as if she should know.
Zhou Tian took out their test papers according to their names. As shown in the marks, there is really no big difference in the content of the articles. What creativity can be written with a non-nutritious title? Ordinarily, if it were not for the prominent identity of the father behind them, they could just stand there.
That's fine, but because their backgrounds are too sensitive, there will inevitably be a lot of trouble: "Let's just arrange it." How can an official not offend others?
When Wang Ping and Yin Huo heard this, their expressions were slightly sarcastic. Wang Ping was originally a commoner, but he was lucky enough to be ranked as the second-rank minister in the first scientific examination because of the small number of people. He really didn't want to offend the deep-rooted old nobles.
Although Yin Huo is not afraid of trouble, he doesn't want to have more trouble than less trouble. It seems he can't escape.
Zhou Tian couldn't remember who Song Shuang was after thinking for a long time. Looking at his test paper, he only felt that his handwriting was different from others, but he couldn't see any difference: "This Song..."
"Your Majesty! Your Majesty! -" Eunuch Li ran in excitedly with Fu Chen in his arms and his robe. He was so happy that he temporarily forgot about etiquette. When he saw someone here, the Emperor, he couldn't help but wake up and look at the master quietly.
As expected, Eunuch Lu did not disappoint him and had already started the training: "How unbecoming is it to act in such a panic! Can you bear the responsibility if I frighten the emperor? You have no rules!"
Eunuch Li hurriedly knelt down, but he could not hide the smile on his face: "I'm so brave, please forgive me, Your Majesty."
Eunuch Lu knew his apprentice's temperament very well. How could he be so unruly if he had not encountered something big? He took a preemptive strike because he did not want the emperor to punish him: "Why don't you say something quickly? Look at your smile. If you can't
Make the emperor happy, and the Za family will cure you."
Eunuch Li stood up with a smile, knowing that he was not angry: "Back to the emperor, General Hei is back and is now waiting outside for the emperor to summon him."
"Great!" Zhou Tian stood up excitedly! He is finally back. Heihu is her best choice to deal with the crisis. She was afraid that he wouldn't be able to come back. She had been depressed these days and didn't expect that he was back!
Zhou Tiangang wanted to rush out and greet him in person, but thinking of his physical inconvenience, he suppressed the relief caused by the stone settling, took a deep breath and calmly left Yin Huo and others and walked out of the study.
Eunuch Lu quickly supported the emperor and couldn't hide the smile on his face: "General Hei is back. I think he won the battle. General Hei is indeed the talent favored by the emperor. He has made many extraordinary achievements over the years. Your Majesty is so wise that I am ashamed of myself."
The number one person in the Great Flame Kingdom."
Yin and Wang Ping looked at each other and silently stepped aside, not daring to answer. They couldn't help but sigh in their hearts. They didn't receive any news about General Hei's return to the palace. He could return from Tianwei Kingdom in just three months.
The black general is becoming more and more capable.
Blackbeard's figure has become stronger again, his eyes are bright, and his thick beard covers three-quarters of his face, as if it is completely dark except for his two bull's eyes. The strange thing is that under such a talent-like cover, he still looks
It can be seen that he has a bright spirit and a straightforward character.
When Heihu saw the emperor coming to greet him in person, Heihu hurriedly took back his head, which was wandering in Taixu, and knelt down respectfully. His strong kneeling sound seemed to poke the ground under his knees: "I am here to see you, your Majesty! Long live your Majesty! Long live your Majesty!"
It's Zhou Tian's business to be excited about Zhou Tian. In terms of merit, Heihu didn't make the emperor so excited that he made him a king or prime minister. She was excited in her heart, but she didn't show it on her face: "Follow me."
"yes."
Yin was confused, and Wang Ping waited in the study room for a long time. It was long enough that they were sure that the emperor had abandoned them. They sighed at each other and left the palace angrily.[
Zhou Tian urged Heihu to return early because there was something big going on. First, he asked the soldiers from Tianwei Kingdom to take their princess away. What was about to happen in Yan Kingdom was not suitable for outsiders to know. All the troops left behind on the way back to Shengdu were killed.
Pretend to be at your disposal at any time; those who secretly support the army under military orders will be killed and pardoned!
After Heihu came back from the palace, he sat at home blankly, shunning the family members who came to see him. He was so confused that he couldn't figure out what was going on. He couldn't help but look at Gopher, who was also sitting beside him: "You said, Your Majesty, this is
What to do?”
The gopher looked confused: "How do I know?" This happened when he came back: "I never heard that anyone was going to rebel." It was not unreasonable for the emperor to recall them with eight urgent measures: "Fortunately, it was just the new army that was delayed on the road.
It will not affect the emperor’s layout.”
Heihu sat until midnight and couldn't think of a reason. Finally, he slapped his thigh and said, "I don't want to think about it anymore! Whoever dares to compete with the emperor for power, I will kill him!"
The gopher was so frightened by him: "What are you yelling about! You are so blind that you are not afraid of causing the roof to collapse."
Hei Hu laughed loudly: "Okay, brother! You should go home quickly." He stood up and punched the gopher twice: "I haven't seen you for a long time, little kid! If I don't want to accompany you, a lonely person like you, Mo Ji, let's go!"
"
In a moment of conditioned reflex, the gopher used his thin leg to trip his thick leg. He thought I was just a servant who came around and threw it around! The gopher ran away as if it was flying after tripping.
Suddenly, an earth-shattering curse sounded in the Hei family's study!
…
Lanterns in Weiyang Palace are hung all over the courtyard. No matter from any angle in the palace, Weiyang Palace after dark overwhelms other palaces and becomes the palace with the most candlelight.
But even though it had been lit like this for nearly a month, the person he was waiting for was not welcomed. Su Yi was sitting in the main seat in a depressed mood. He was beating the eunuch who had smashed the candlestick. He cherished the beating and spoke slowly, fearing that this would be rare.
The evening pastime was over.
Eunuch Gu was waiting by the side, adding a cup of tea to his master from time to time without interrupting. It was a real improvement for his master not to block the emperor, and he couldn't kill the last bit of fun.
Su Yi trained endlessly, and the people below couldn't come up with any new tricks to beg for their lives. Even so, Su Yi cherished the spirit and kept repeating, "Looking for death! Looking for death!"
It seemed like he was really going to do something to the person kneeling below.
Just when Su Yixun's mouth was about to bubble, the door opened with a bang, and all the candlelight in the room swayed. A figure sat angrily under Su Yi's hand, drank the cold tea on the table in one gulp, and then put the tea cup away.
Smashed to the ground: "Get out! Everyone get out!"
Su Yi's eyes were bright, and he looked at Duan Jingchen who was obviously wronged below with great interest: "Come, let's talk and listen, and find something for me to do." It would be best if the matter is big enough to involve the emperor, so he can go and ask for permission openly.
Then he didn't leave and went to bed naturally.
Seeing that his master did not complain, Eunuch Gu waved his hand and led everyone away.
Duan Jingchen's face was livid, and he was extremely depressed. He threw the teapot out angrily, his chest heaved violently, and his face was ferocious.
Seeing this, Su Yi took back his joking attitude and said affirmatively: "What other evil things did your father do?"
"You old man!" Duan Jingchen was like a cat whose tail had been stepped on. He went crazy and didn't know who he was going to catch and bite: "Why do you mean that only Duan Jingjin is his son! He can also get the top prize! Duan Jingjin is nothing! He said he can take the exam if he can
Take the test! I won’t let him get what he wants!” He even dropped the plate as he spoke.
Su Yi watched him fall calmly, but frowned thoughtfully, and said lightly: "I'm afraid your plan will fail. The emperor has a weird temper recently, not to mention the list has been handed over. If this happens..."
"I don't care what happens!" Duan Jingchen looked extremely angry and stood up suddenly: "Even if I die! I won't make it easy for them!" Then he looked at Su Yi: "Is the emperor being coaxed recently?"
Su Yi's heart trembled when he heard this, and he quickly went over to press him down. This was because he wanted to honor the emperor, and then exchanged it for 'profit': "Nonsense! If the emperor has a bad temper and kills you, you won't get anything.
The good thing is that when the time comes, those who love you will be happy with your enemies, and I will be the only one to deal with it for you. You can see if the old fox will set off firecrackers to celebrate the Duan Liang case." [
Duan Jingchen's face was miserable. Looking at Su Yi's nose that was not straightened yet, he felt that there was something more ominous about it, but... "Brother, I have asked about it. The emperor is very happy that General Hei returned to the palace today. Maybe the emperor is happy for a moment."
Just promise me, even if this is not a reason, I."
Duan Jingchen said resolutely: "I have practiced my previous skills again. I will follow the emperor no matter how hard I beat him. The emperor may also become high for a while..."
Su Yi looked into Duan Jingchen's Xiyi eyes, and looked straight into his heart from the eye sockets through the eyeballs: "Is it worth it to risk yourself for those people, and you can't even guarantee a guaranteed victory?"
Duan Jingchen got angry: "What if it's impossible! Let me watch Duan Jingjin become the number one pick! Watch Duan Liang's case humiliate me!"
Su Yi couldn't tell that those were your father and your brother's words. They were a group that abandoned each other. It was impossible to say who betrayed whom. In short, it was a dead end situation until now. Duan Jingchen could not forgive Duan Liang's case, and Duan Liang's case was also
Duan Jingchen is not accepted.
When Duan Jingchen saw that Su Yi hadn't spoken for a long time, he couldn't help but said gloomily: "It really can't be done..." Duan Jingchen's smile became even weirder: "I'm going to tell the emperor that I am lonely in the palace and want Duan Jingjin to accompany me. Duan Jingjin is versatile and has a mellow personality.
Let the emperor take him in! If you don’t believe in Duan Liang’s case, he won’t die!” The more Duan Jingchen said, the more he felt it was feasible, the risk was low, the risk was low, and it was just a matter of uncertainty!
Su Yi knew that this was a good way to combat Duan Liang's case without taking risks, and he could also gain a good reputation as a magnanimous person with the emperor, but that was before.
Su Yi put his thoughtful hands on Duan Jingchen's shoulders, bent over and looked down at his brother sitting in the seat, and decided to have a frank talk with him.
