fake prince

Chapter 396
There are really strange magics in this world. Witches and nightmares are deeply scourges, and they have been suspected by the courts of all dynasties. The monster race is even more difficult. The prince is a dragon species. When there is no prince, if you want to fight for the heir, although it is not allowed, it is actually human. Common sense.

Therefore, he secretly recruited and made friends with some people, and even secretly raised some private soldiers. The emperor was not too strict.

But recruiting warlocks, or fornicating monster clans, are the only two that the emperor can't bear.

But because the evidence had not yet been obtained, and the king of Qi still needed to check and balance with the two sons of the king of Shu and the king of Lu, the emperor did not immediately reprimand him.

The emperor swallowed a mouthful of saliva, stared at King Qi, and made up his mind. He originally wanted to discuss the matter of Dragon Girl, but now there is no need to procrastinate.

If King Qi got involved further, how would he end up killing another son?
Thinking of this, the emperor expressed no expression, and said coldly: "You have a good heart, but you are a layman in water control and rehabilitation. You only need to have this heart, and you don't have to go out of Beijing."

"Luo Pei has made great achievements in water control, and he is also good at post-disaster management. Since the locust plague is mentioned, it is better to choose another person."

As he spoke, he said, "Luo Pei!"

"The minister is here!" Luo Pei hastily left the class and kowtowed.

"I order you to be an imperial envoy again, to inspect the three provinces mentioned above, and to control the water that day. The dragon girl of the Panlong Lake Water Mansion that you have reported to the court has made meritorious service. You can also propose a title to invite me. You can do more than one mission. Save the hassle."

"The courtiers respect the decree."

Not only Luo Pei, Taichang Temple is in charge of sacrifices, and this kind of title of ghosts and gods is also in the category of supervision. At present, Taichang Temple Minister and Shaoqing should be listed.

The King of Shu, who had been silent all this time, couldn't help laughing. He actually didn't hear the secret of the Dragon Girl, but now he knew that there must be a big problem in it. Otherwise, this brother, would he take the risk to make things happen?

Now that he was beaten back by his father, he was naturally happy in his heart. He glanced at King Qi, and was secretly vigilant: "Brother Wang's power is indeed superior to mine."

"I have to work hard to strengthen, otherwise, I don't even know many things."

How could the King of Qi know that he just mentioned to inspect the locust plague, not only let the emperor give the opportunity to Luo Pei, but also issued an imperial edict to confer the dragon girl?
"I knew it was like this..." He gritted his teeth, but he knew that even if he knew it earlier, he would probably not be able to bear it, and would still act like this.

Such a great benefit, to give up like this, really makes him unwilling.

Thinking of all the benefits of Tianjue, King Qi couldn't help but say: "Father, in fact, my son..."

He wanted to say that he had actually learned about the locust plague on purpose, so even if he couldn't take care of himself, it would be fine to go out with Luo Pei as a deputy.

But the emperor lightly stopped it.

"Okay! I have already decided on this matter, so there is no need to talk about it!"

This sentence is immediately frozen.

Officials watched their noses, noses, mouths and hearts, and did not dare to open their eyes, but Qi Wang just felt that many people were watching his jokes at this time.

Since he was an adult, he was rarely scolded by his father, and he also had some face in front of courtiers. Although the emperor's cold refusal did not embarrass him like a slap across the face, it was not far behind.

What makes King Qi even more unacceptable is that there are still two brothers, King Shu and King Lu, in the palace. What are their expressions at the moment, are they laughing at him for overestimating his abilities and taking self-defeating humiliation?

The atmosphere was a little stiff, but if it continued, it might embarrass King Qi even more.

An official from King Qi's camp suddenly came out at this moment: "Your Majesty, the tributes are waiting on their knees outside. Do you want to pass the imperial examination for this year?"

The person who spoke was an official of Honglu Temple, although he made a rescue, it was taken for granted and did not attract attention.

The emperor immediately came to his senses and nodded, "That's right, let's pass it on!"

He glanced at Zhong Fanzhi, the chief examiner of this session of the Civil Service Examination in front of the civil servants. Longer, there are always 230 three.

So Zhong Fanzhi took the imperial decree in both hands and walked directly to the gate of the palace.

In other words, the three tributes in 230, whose knees were already swollen, did not dare to move. When the college students came out, everyone was refreshed when they saw this scene.

Zhong Fanzhi unfolded the imperial decree and read it aloud.

"The imperial edict said: On April 18th, 3th year of Chengshou, first-class Jinshi and No.160 were awarded, [-] second-class Jinshi were born, and [-] three-class Jinshi were born together..."

There will only be four people with specific names read out by this great scholar.

The No. [-] Scholar, No. [-], and No. [-] flower in the first class are Jinshi and the first.

And Erjia will be awarded a Jinshi background.

When it comes to the top three, it means that the status is a bit embarrassing, and the family background is Jinshi. Although the world collectively refers to the top three as Jinshi, ordinary scholars only value the first and second grades.

The first name of the second class is Chuanlu. After the college students finish reading, they will take over the golden book and be responsible for the roll call, singing the second and third names behind these four people one by one, so it is called Chuanlu.

Su Ziji was at the front of the team, and he looked calm at this moment, but in fact, because of the atmosphere, he also felt a little nervous.

On the day of the palace examination, he was disturbed, and he didn't know whether the article he wrote could impress the examiners and the emperor, and he won the title of number one scholar.

Although this title is just icing on the cake, it is naturally good to get it.

So, when he heard that the name of Yijia was about to be announced, Su Ziji also held his breath and concentrated.

"No. 1 in Palace Examination...Su Ziji, Shuanghua Mansion, Guangling Province!"

Become!

Hearing this, Su Ziji was relieved.

There is no need for officials to remind, more than 200 people have already received etiquette training before confirming their status as tributes. At this time, they are just entering the hall according to the results of the training to thank the emperor for his kindness.

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!" Su Ziji entered the back of the hall, was led to a suitable position by the ceremony officer, and performed three kowtows and nine prostrations, shouting long live.

And led to the tail of Zuo Ban in the hall.

In an instant, Su Ziji felt that several eyes were fixed on him.

Every move at the court meeting was ceremonial, even at this time, the officials could not look at it casually, all they could look at were people with special status, Su Ziji couldn't help looking, and saw the emperor sitting on the throne, his eyes were sweeping over him.

Su Ziji hurriedly lowered his head, at this moment he felt that among the remaining pairs of eyes, one pair of shining eyes was carefully examining him, and he had already seen clearly that this was King Qi.

"King Qi is just like the rumors. He is seven feet tall and has a handsome appearance. It is said that there are several dragon scales under his ribs. But I didn't expect that this person also possesses extremely high martial arts, but he can't hide it from me."

"The prince's martial arts and literary studies are all just traditional, but it is extremely rare to be able to practice this. He doesn't have half of my red sandalwood."

"I don't know how much hard work I put in."

"Dignified King Qi, it's really unbelievable to be able to do this."
