"Now that the military governor has made a decision, let's follow your Lordship's wishes.⊙,"
Prince Taiyuan said calmly.
"I have no opinion."
Prince Jiuding said calmly, but he sneered in his heart. He had been fighting with Prince Taiyuan for decades, and he had long known what the other party was paying attention to.
Since the military governor mentioned voting, Prince Taiyuan will definitely use the power in his court to stand up for himself in the end.
However, Prince Taiyuan is not the only one with power in the court!
"Disperse!"
As soon as the majestic voice fell, the military temple immediately became silent. Immediately afterwards, Prince Taiyuan and Prince Jiuding also disappeared.
After the Military Temple returned to peace, Wang Tai was the last one to leave the Military Temple.
…
"Yang Ji, I'm afraid I have to leave."
In the golden official post, the young prince Jiuding spoke as soon as he saw Yang Ji, with a worried look on his brows.
"King Taiyuan?"
Yang Jidao immediately guessed something.
"Um."
The little prince Jiuding gave a rare smile:
"I knew I couldn't hide it from you. My father has already come forward in the Imperial City. King Taiyuan is so angry that I can't stay any longer."
"Is there any latest news?"
Yang Ji reacted immediately. He stood next to the table, holding the mask as thin as a cicada's wings in his hand. The identity of the young prince Jiuding was too special, and Yang Ji didn't want people to know his relationship with the young prince Jiuding yet.
Therefore, it is usually Yang Ji who comes to see the young prince Jiuding, and he is basically the same as before, wearing a golden mask.
"Well, your teacher has really complained to the Military God Palace. The three military governors have already come forward and will convene the dignitaries in the Imperial City to discuss and vote on this matter. I'm afraid it will take some time for the results of the martial arts examination to come out.
"
The young prince Jiuding looked at Yang Ji and smiled bitterly:
"However, I can't stay in Taiyuanzhou Mansion any longer. I will leave a few people to help you receive the news from the Imperial City. I'm afraid I can't help you with the others."
"Thank you very much."
Yang Ji frowned and then nodded.
The young prince Jiuding left much earlier than Yang Ji imagined. He left with a huge motorcade almost in the evening of the same day.
The entire Taiyuanzhou Mansion was actually unwilling to stay any longer.
Yang Ji watched the young prince Jiuding leave in a restaurant near the city gate. He jumped down from the railing and quietly returned to the Jade Ax Inn where he was staying.
“I don’t know what the final result will be!”
Yang Ji sat on the floor of the room, sighing secretly in his heart. Although he appeared calm in front of the young prince Jiuding, Yang Ji was far from as calm as he appeared in his heart.
Taking a deep breath, Yang Ji sat down cross-legged and silently adjusted his blood energy. Before the news of the Imperial City came out, Yang Ji could do nothing but rest and regulate his breath and improve his skills during this period of time.
The waiting time was long. The entire Taiyuanzhou Mansion was quiet, looking no different from peace. But Yang Ji knew that privately, there were already ups and downs. He didn't know how many people were waiting for the news like him.
After staying in Taiyuanzhou Mansion for a few days, the three elders of the Tieguan Sect finally returned to Tieguan Mountain. There are still too many things going on in the Tieguan Sect. The country cannot live without a king for a day, and several elders cannot leave the Taiyuan sect.
Long.
"boom!"
An earth-shaking loud bang was heard from the Military Temple. The huge sound shook the earth. A moment later, golden falcons flapped their wings and flew quickly in all directions.
And one of them climbed over the mountains and ridges, shot down from the sky, and landed in a post station.
"boom!"
In the early morning, Yang Ji was still practicing in his room. Suddenly, there was a sound of hurried footsteps. Then with a bang, Yang Ji's door was pushed open.
"Master Yang, there is news, there is news!..."
A palace guard hurried in. He was out of breath. In his hand, Yang Ji saw a piece of letter paper.
Whoosh!
Yang Ji's eyes flashed and he stood up suddenly, "How's it going?"
He was worried and nervous at the same time. All kinds of emotions came to his heart. Even during the martial arts examination, Yang Ji had never been so nervous.
"I got it, I got it! Congratulations, sir, you passed high school!"
The palace guard left behind by the young Prince Jiuding said happily.
"Buzz!"
Yang Ji's mind was shaken, and he could hardly believe his ears. A huge joy surged out of his heart:
"Bring it here and let me see!"
Yang Ji copied the letter paper from the palace guard. When he saw the first name on the letter paper, the pressure accumulated in Yang Ji's heart for days suddenly poured out, and his whole body relaxed instantly.
I saw only a few words on the first line of the letter:
"First place, Wu Jieyuan, Yang Ji!"
…
Clang clang clang!
Cups and dishes all over the table were overturned, and even the vases in the room were pushed over. Mrs. Zhao's face was livid and distorted, as if she had exerted all her strength, she sat down heavily in her seat:
"This is impossible!"
Mrs. Zhao gritted her teeth. She couldn't believe it until the last moment. Even King Etai Yuan's ability could not defeat Yang Ji.
This fact was a heavy blow to Mrs. Zhao.
"Little beast, I won't let you go!"
…
"What the hell is going on here?"
In the Jade Ax Inn, after knowing the final result, Yang Ji finally relaxed and looked at the guard left by the young prince Jiuding.
This was not the first time that Yang Ji had contact with people from the Jiuding Palace. He knew that they had their own information system. He was only given one of them. In addition, the information within the Palace was much more detailed.
"Hey, I know I can't hide it from the young master."
The hard-working palace guard smiled. As he spoke, he explained in detail the most critical decision in the Imperial City. Prince Jiuding was involved in the deliberations at the Military Temple, so he knew it clearly.
Prince Taiyuan made a huge mistake by intervening in the martial arts examination and modifying Yang Ji's ranking. A wise man will always make a mistake after thinking a lot, and a fool will gain something after a lot of thinking.
Prince Taiyuan was accustomed to being shrewd, but this time he was finally smitten by family affection and couldn't see clearly the confusion. For Prince Jiuding, who had been fighting with Prince Taiyuan for many years, this was a golden opportunity.
Therefore, Prince Jiuding spared no effort to publicize this matter in the imperial capital, causing an uproar among the nobles and the court.
Prince Taiyuan's impression in the court has always been quite positive. It has to be said that this incident shocked many people. Moreover, Prince Taiyuan also bluntly admitted it.
This kind of thing can be known as soon as you check it, and it cannot be faked.
At the beginning, many people suspected that Prince Jiuding was forgery. But the final result surprised many people. Yang Xuanlan, the previous martial arts examiner, was indeed the son-in-law of Prince Taiyuan, and there was indeed discord between the two.
This kind of thing cannot be quibbled over!
Prince Jiuding succeeded in greatly reducing Prince Taiyuan's upright image, and also successfully instigated the rebellion of some nobles.
However, three feet of ice did not last in a day, and although it instigated some people to rebel, there is no doubt that Prince Taiyuan's popularity in the Imperial City is much better than that of Prince Jiuding.
The final result was still not good for Yang Ji.
But the turning point came in another person. As an important source of this martial arts examination, Marquis Zhongwu played a decisive role in this discussion.
When the two sides reached a stalemate, the three military governors recalled Marquis Zhongwu.
Marquis Zhongwu is a confidant of the three military governors. He recruited his confidants in Taiyuanzhou with the tacit approval of the three military governors and the military headquarters. Therefore, his opinions are crucial.
When the three military governors asked Marquis Zhongwu, Yang Ji and Wei Boyang who they would choose, Yang Ji's status as a Taiyuanzhou scholar undoubtedly played a role.
Therefore, Marquis Zhongwu undoubtedly chose Yang Ji.
How could a Holy Land disciple from outside the continent be as reliable as a local scholar from Taiyuan Continent? Moreover, what Marquis Zhongwu originally wanted was to select talented disciples from this continent.
Marquis Zhongwu's statement played an important role in bringing a large number of people to stand with Prince Jiuding, thus making the support for Yang Ji and Wei Boyang equally matched.
If this were the case, the decision on Taiyuanzhou might not be finalized until another prominent and important figure unexpectedly stood up and expressed his support for Yang Ji.
"Important person? Who?"
Yang Ji was surprised and looked at the palace guard with a surprised look on his face.
"Young Master Yang, you are still teasing me. Why did the prince ask me to question you? Didn't you arrange this? We always thought that Young Master Yang was of ordinary origin, but it turns out that Young Master Yang has been hiding for so long."
The palace guard shook his head and laughed, thinking Yang Ji was joking with him.
"You misunderstood. I'm not joking with you."
Yang Ji said with a serious face.
"Mr. Yang, are you serious?"
The palace guard was even more surprised than Yang Ji.
Yang Ji nodded. His life experience was much clearer. How could he possibly know some powerful person far away in the Imperial City? You know, he had never even been there.
The palace guard stared at Yang Ji and finally realized that he was telling the truth. He couldn't help but look surprised.
"Didn't the prince say who that person was in the letter?"
Yang Jidao.
"No."
The other party shook his head, "Your Majesty didn't say that."
There was a look of regret in Yang Ji's eyes. This thing was really weird. Wang Tai, Prince Jiuding, he knew only a handful of people.
It can also be said that Marquis Zhongwu supported him because of his identity and background. He was a local scholar in Taiyuanzhou and had the same background as him.
But the other key point mentioned by Prince Jiuding is really strange.
Yang Ji didn't think that besides these people, he knew or knew anyone else.
"What exactly is going on?"
Yang Ji rested his chin on one hand, with a confused look in his eyes. The Imperial City was still too far away from him, and resolutions of that level were simply not something he could participate in.
"Perhaps, if you ask General Wang Tai, you can know who the person who helped me is."
Yang Ji secretly thought in his heart.
Laying out a piece of paper, Yang Ji thought for a while and quickly wrote a letter. Then he sealed it, found the fastest falcon, flapped its wings, and sent it to the Imperial City.
