Cui Yan, who had been sitting firmly on Mount Tai before, was immediately shocked and stood up when he heard the name Xuanjia Army.
The Xuanjia Army only obeyed the emperor's orders when there was no war.
Why are there traces of the Xuanjia Army on the official road to Wannian County?
Just in time for them to intercept and kill those villagers?
This is really a bit too strange.
"Luo Tong, you won't do any good by lying to us." Wang Yi said in a deep voice.
His eyes fell on Luo Tong.
There wasn't even a trace of fighting on Luo Tong's body.
If there really was a Xuanjia Army, even if Luo Tong could escape, it would not be so easy, without leaving even a single scratch.
"I didn't say panic. Two hundred Xuanjia troops, one thousand and one behind, intercepted us. If Cheng Chumo, who was responsible for sending people away, had not interceded for me, I would have died there." Luo Tong said hurriedly.
"Cheng Chumo? He is sincere to you, but you... haha!" Wang Yi smiled jokingly and looked at Luo Tong.
Luo Tong's eyes flashed slightly, but returned to dullness in the blink of an eye.
"Luo Tong only wants to save his wife, and the rest can be discarded. Please give Luo Tong another chance." Luo Tong took a deep breath and bowed.
"You go back first, I will look for you!" Cui Yan waved his hand, signaling Luo Tong to leave.
Luo Tong was silent for a moment and then left.
Only Cui Yan and Wang Yi were left in the study.
"The appearance of the Xuanjia Army is too coincidental. Do you think it was arranged by the emperor or by Zhao Chen?" After a while of silence in the study, Cui Yan slowly spoke.
"The Xuanjia Army is responsible for the emperor's safety and has always only obeyed the emperor's orders. Even a person like Li Jing has the right to mobilize the Xuanjia Army only during wartime."
"How can Zhao Chen be so virtuous?" Wang Yi smiled, with a look of disdain on his face.
Just as he said, in the entire Tang Dynasty, only the emperor could command the Xuanjia Army.
No one else has this right.
Because the emperor will not put his life in the hands of others.
Not even the prince.
How could the Xuanjia Army be handed over to Zhao Chen?
This assumption is obviously untenable.
"You mean, those villagers are the ones the emperor wants to protect, so they shouldn't send out the Xuanjia Army." Cui Yan said.
He always felt that something was strange, but he couldn't place it.
"Brother Cui, you have forgotten that those villagers are from the auspicious land. Up to now, there are still 20,000 troops guarding there. Two hundred Xuanjia troops are not particularly difficult to understand." Wang Yi talked about the ten thousand years of auspiciousness.
Things.
When he said this, Cui Yan thought of Zhao Chen who came out of that village.
It was because of Zhao Chen that the emperor had the confidence to take action against their family.
"How was the preparation in the examination room?"
"We must let Zhao Chen be ruined this time." Cui Yan asked Wang Yi again.
"Everything is ready. Tonight, some of our people will cheat in the examination room. Then we can accuse Zhao Chen of being unfavorable to the invigilator."
"At that time, even if the emperor wants to keep him, it will be impossible. It will be too easy to just remove Zhao Chen's title and deal with him." Wang Yi said with a smile.
They had already prepared it.
The means of cheating cannot be discovered at all, and moreover, the examiners have their insiders.
This time, we can definitely put the shit basin on Zhao Chen's head.
"That's good. When Zhao Chen is stripped of his title, let Luo Tong kill him." Cui Yan waved his hand and said.
The study fell into silence again.
…
"Auxiliary machine, you should go back first. I will invigilate the exam here and tell the officials that I will not be able to attend court tomorrow morning."
When Li Shimin and Zhao Chen returned to the examination room ahead, they spoke to Changsun Wuji.
Changsun Wuji regrets very much now. If he had known it earlier, he would have said he was ill and would not have come here.
It's better now. After the emperor has eaten and drank enough, he will be driven back to the palace.
Is there anything like this?
"Um, I'll just wait by His Majesty's side. As for the dismissal of the court, let others inform me." Changsun Wuji said with a smile.
"Well, then you should work hard all night and show me the style of the Tang Dynasty scholars." Li Shimin nodded and continued walking forward.
"Lord Pushe, please go to the back kitchen to eat something first. I have left some for you. They are all clean." Zhao Chen said to Chang Sun Wuji when he saw that he was holding his stomach and his face turned pale with hunger.
Although he didn’t have much contact with Changsun Wuji, someone had to get rid of the uneaten food.
Wasting food is not a good habit.
Changsun Wuji thought that Zhao Chen really left food for him, which was very exciting.
He cupped his hands with Zhao Chen to express his gratitude, turned around and ran to the kitchen.
"Let's go, let's go inspect the examination room again." Zhao Chen and Lao Li Tou said.
Lao Litou had enough to eat and drink, so naturally it didn't matter.
However, he was not here to supervise the candidates' exams. He just wanted to see the fine salt developed by Zhao Chen as soon as possible.
After all, that's what he really cares about.
And for the autumn examination, there are so many officials here...
Li Shimin looked back and suddenly found that there were five or six examiners missing from the crowd.
"Why are there so many people missing? Did I give an order that during the autumn examination, all examiners are not allowed to leave the examination room?" Li Shimin frowned and looked at Yu Shinan.
Yu Shinan also shuddered and turned around to see that there were indeed several officials missing.
"Reporting to your Majesty, this is the case. During the exam in the afternoon, a dozen candidates felt cold and asked the examiners to buy them some clothes."
"Your Majesty also said that you should always care about the physical condition of the candidates so that they can take the examination with peace of mind, so several examiners went out to help buy clothes." The doctor of the Ministry of Rites stood up and said to the emperor.
"Well, yes, I said it, but these clothes are easy to get caught..."
"Your Majesty, they are back and they have brought their clothes." The doctor from the Ministry of Rites suddenly shouted.
Everyone looked around and saw five officials hurriedly walking in from outside with a pile of clothes in their hands.
"Your Majesty, I have bought some clothes. All the clothes are here. Please send someone to check them."
One of the leading officials held some clothes and said to Li Shimin.
Li Shimin frowned and looked at the officials in front of him, not knowing what to say for a moment.
If you ask him to investigate himself, doesn't that mean he doesn't trust his ministers? What will other officials think in their hearts?
But if we don't check, if something really happened...
"It's really admirable that these adults can do so much for the candidates. There is no need to check these clothes, just give them to the candidates." Zhao Chen laughed with several people on the side.
"Deputy Examiner, your words are serious. We are all doing this for the sake of the Tang Dynasty and we dare not express our merits." A trace of surprise flashed across the head of the official's face, and he cupped his hands with Zhao Chen.
"Just do what Zhao Chen said, send the clothes over, and let them take the exam." Li Shimin glanced at Zhao Chen and saw that he had no expression at all, so he waved and said to several officials.
"Yes, I'll do it right away!" The officials bowed, held their clothes and left.?
