How did I become king

Bang bang bang.

The door of the palace was closed again, and the guards outside the door offered sacrifices to the Dharma, again isolating the sound of wind, rain and thunder.

At this time, the maid had already cleaned up the things on the ground.

On the other side, a young eunuch in Tsing Yi came out carrying a basket of files, and gently placed the basket on the ground.

Everyone's eyes couldn't help looking over.

Chapter 317 Congratulations to the Eleventh Prince Zhao Lan

what is this?

Everyone was surprised.

Holding the wine glass, Lu Gan walked to the basket, randomly picked up a file with his left hand, and handed it to the little eunuch in Tsing Yi: "Read."

"Yes!"

The little eunuch in Tsing Yi took it respectfully, opened the file, took out a stack of papers, and began to read:

"In the third year of Daxuan, the deacon of Zixia's lineage, Han Feng, accepted bribes of 3 taels of gold, twenty agate gemstones, and a spiritual lamp, and sold them to Mengzhou, a disciple of the aristocratic family."

"In the fourth year of Daxuan, Yue Luqiao, the elder of Zixia's lineage, relied on his power to seize 12 women from good families and 45 ladies from great families. His son Yue Zishan was greedy for gambling and lost money, and killed 32 people! His grandson snatched thirteen Xuanjinghua house, and acquire thousands of acres of fertile land!"

"In the fifth year of Daxuan, Guanghe, a disciple of Zixia's lineage, set up a hunting ground in Xueyun Peak, Yuanzhou, and used prisoners as prey to shoot and kill for fun."

……

"In the 24th year of Daxuan, the elder of Zixia's lineage, the great-grandson of Hualing poisoned and killed 82 members of the Confucius family in Jinzhou, just because he failed to please the talented daughters of the Kong family."

A quarter of an hour later, the little eunuch in Tsing Yi paused in his hoarse voice.

Everyone's hearts seemed to stop beating.

Everyone's eyes fell on the basket of files, and they couldn't move them away. They were terrified, for fear that they would have their own share of the basket of files.

"King of Bravery, this servant has finished reading."

At this time, the little eunuch in Tsing Yi put away the file and bowed respectfully to Lu Gan.

"Well, go down and drink water, wait for me to call you."

Lu Gan took the file and waved his hand lightly.

"Yes!"

The little eunuch in Tsing Yi cupped his hands again, bowed and retreated.

"Elder Hualing, your Zixia seems to be a villain who uses power for personal gain. Do you have anything to say?"

With cold eyes, Lu Gan walked up to Elder Hua Ling with a wine glass in one hand and a file in the other.

This Elder Hualing is a middle-aged woman, wearing a white robe, with knife-like lips, and a bit harsh face, but she is the grandma of the eleventh prince Zhao Lan, who is in charge of the military aircraft in the imperial court, and is highly respected by Zhao Xuanji.

"Weichen has nothing to say."

Sitting behind the jade couch, Hua Ling replied blankly: "Whoever committed a crime, whoever is guilty, should be punished by the Brave King! I have absolutely no objection!"

"Oh? You don't want to take the blame?"

Lu Gan narrowed his eyes slightly, and asked in a cold voice: "The servants of the Xuanhuangzong who are in Zixia's line all regard you as the leader. They have caused so much trouble, how can you still have such a clear conscience?"

"I didn't know about it! I didn't do anything wrong! I worked hard at the military plane and didn't have time to care about other people! As for the great crime committed by the great-grandson, it should be beheaded, and it should be distributed. I absolutely agree with it." !"

Hua Ling replied coldly.

sure!It's very bureaucratic!

"very good."

Lu Gan narrowed his eyes, spit out two words, and walked to the jade couch of the Eleventh Prince Zhao Lan: "Your Highness Eleventh, how much do you know about the things in this file?"

"I……"

Zhao Lan's handsome face frowned, and he turned to look at Hua Ling on the other side.

Before he could think to speak, Lu Gan's expression turned cold, and he said in a deep voice: "His Royal Highness, you are already dozens of years old, don't you still want to talk based on people's faces?"

Hearing this, Zhao Lan paused for a moment, with some hesitation and entanglement in his eyes.

"Come here, bring the Emperor Yuxi Seal here."

At this time, Lu Gan suddenly said coldly.

When everyone heard this, their hearts couldn't help but jump.

Under their watchful eyes, the palm seal eunuch held a jade tray respectfully and cautiously, and brought the jade seal covered with red cloth to Lu Gan.

On the other side, a court lady came over with something at the same time, but it was a box of Reversi.

Lu Gan pointed to Zhao Lan's jade couch.

So, two trays of emperor seal and black and white chess pieces were placed in front of Zhao Lan.

"Your Highness the Eleventh, here is the seal of the jade seal that symbolizes the throne, and your favorite chess piece." Lu Gan turned the wine glass and said coldly: "I will give you a choice. Choose the seal of the emperor, and you will officially become The emperor chooses to train. Choose chess, and you can get a box of chess pieces made of coral jade, as well as precious chess records collected from all over the world. Which one do you choose?"

Everyone: "..."

A fool knows how to choose.

When you choose chess pieces, you can only get chess pieces, but if you choose the emperor seal, you will become emperor in the future. You can have as many chess records as you want, and even summoning chess players from all over the world to enter the palace to play games is problematic.

Zhao Lan didn't think for long, and reached out to get the emperor's seal.

At this moment, Lu Gan suddenly turned around, looked at the high and shining golden dragon chair, drank the wine in his glass and said coldly: "For an emperor, one worry about the world is dying, one is poor and weak, and two is worrying about the five grains." If you don’t accept it, the people will be hungry and cold, the third worry is that corrupt officials are rampant and domineering, the fourth worry is foreign invasion of enemy countries, burning, killing and looting, the fifth worry is the waste of unfortunate descendants of the family, the sixth worry is the empty treasury, and the seventh worry is that thieves are everywhere..."

Zhao Lan's hand that touched the red cloth froze, and his eyes rolled.

He hesitated!

Or rather, he was terrified.

"Eleventh Prince, you should know that His Majesty does not sleep every day, so please review the memorial."

Lu Gan's expression was cold: "The world is so big, the basic necessities of life, food, drink, entertainment, life, old age, sickness and death of tens of billions of people are all in the hands of His Majesty. Can you bear this heavy responsibility?"

As soon as these words came out, Zhao Lan's right hand trembled slightly, as if he wanted to retract.

At this time, Elder Hua Ling said: "No matter how big the world is, with His Highness's intelligence and wisdom, coupled with the efforts of all, it can be governed well."

When Zhao Lan heard this, the retracted hand stopped again, and stretched out again, trying to grab the emperor's seal.

But at this moment, the palm print eunuch snatched the jade tray away.

Lu Gan was superior, with a ruthless face: "I'm sorry, Eleventh Highness, you... are hesitant and indecisive. You are already out of this test!"

what!

Zhao Lan was shocked, his eyes widened, and he stood up abruptly.

Hua Ling, who was sitting on the other side of the main hall, also got up straight away, arguing with reason: "King of Bravery, you are too arbitrary! His Highness the Eleventh is a little hesitant about such a big matter, it is nothing at all!"

"Is it?"

Lu Gan snorted coldly: "Look, what is put together with the emperor's seal is a pile of chess pieces! His Royal Highness the Eleventh has been entangled for so long for a pile of chess pieces! , Jiangshan Sheji has the courage to fight, and takes responsibility! If he doesn't even have the courage to kill and attack decisively, he is not suitable to be an emperor at all!"

"He's a kid! He can learn!"

Elder Hua Ling pursed his lips and shouted.

"Since it's a child, let's go home and grow up."

With a cold face, Lu Gan stuffed the box of chess pieces into Zhao Lan's hands: "Come here, send His Highness the Eleventh Prince back to Prince Lan's Mansion! He will come out after he understands the chess spirit!"

"Yes!"

This time, it was Zhao Lan's personal maid who walked out beside Concubine Zhao Lan's mother.

"..."

Seeing this, Zhao Lan breathed a sigh of relief, bowed to Hua Ling, nodded to Lu Gan, and walked out of Qianyuan Hall with the chess box in his arms.

With brisk steps, a relieved smile appeared on his usually cold face.

In the battle for the throne, the eleventh prince, Zhao Lan, is officially out!

boom.

The hall door was closed again, Elder Hua Ling's body went limp, and he sat down on the ground.

But everyone no longer cared about her, and their eyes were all cast on the basket of files, with different thoughts.

The only ones who were calm were Prince Zhao Jing, Seventeenth Prince Zhao Yin, and Zhao Mingyue.

The thirteenth princess Zhao Que and the sixteenth prince Zhao Ming were a little nervous and flustered.

Of course, it was the ministers of Xuanhuang Qimai who were even more flustered.

They have done something bad, and now seeing that their crimes may be exposed, they are naturally guilty and flustered.

At this time, Lu Gan walked to the basket, threw the file back in his hand, walked up to the steps step by step, and sat on the dragon chair again with a big horse and a golden sword.

"Pour wine."

Lu Gan glanced coldly at the people in the hall, observed their expressions, and said two words lightly.

After the words fell, the maid stepped forward and filled him with fine wine.

Lu Gan raised his glass and drank it down, and soon, the wine was filled again.

The next moment, he took out the fire folder from the back of his waist, flicked open the wooden box, and blew lightly.

call.

The fire pocket ignites a blue flame.

Under everyone's gaze, Lu Gan threw it away casually.

Huozhezi flew in mid-air, drew a perfect parabola, and fell into the basket full of files.

Puff puff.

The reddish flame of the burning paper rises up, spreads, and burns to the volume next to it, burning black ashes.

Wisps of rosin floated from the flames and filled the Qianyuan Hall.

At this time, a court lady came over and poured the wine from the jug into the basket.

With a bang, the flames burst into flames.

The dancing flames reflected in everyone's pupils.

Chapter 318

Crackling, crackling, crackling.

Everyone stared at the raging flames ahead, with different thoughts.

Some people frowned, some secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but more people still looked solemn.

The drama has not yet reached its climax.

After a cup of tea, the dossiers and baskets were burnt clean, leaving only a cloud of ashes on the jade floor, and wisps of green smoke rose.

"Everyone, this file has been burned to ashes."

At this time, Lu Gan on the dragon chair was condescending and said coldly: "But the embers are still there, and sooner or later they will rekindle and burn on you. At that time, I am afraid there will be no friendship between monarchs and ministers, only swords and axes." Add body. You should know how to choose.”

The words spread and fell into the ears of everyone in the hall, making people's hearts tremble.

This is the picture! See you!

Either let go of the power in your hands now, and resign from office with a piece of glory and wealth for the sake of past affection, or go to heaven and wait to be executed in the autumn.

Everyone looked at me and I looked at you, their faces were very ugly.

Suddenly, a white-haired old man in a green python official robe came out, sighed, and bowed deeply to the dragon chair: "The old man is old and deaf. I want to retire and return to my hometown. Please grant me the permission of the Brave King."

"Old Li!"

The sixteenth prince Zhao Ming stood up abruptly, his face full of disbelief.

This white-haired old man is Li Fei, a cabinet scholar, Zhao Ming's great-grandfather.
