wait for me to be king

Qi Yuan threw Qi Zhao to Xie Changfeng, and then began to think about the upcoming palace examination.

Now Enke has ended, and the Tribute Academy is working overtime to correct the test papers. It is estimated that it will take another five or six days for the final results to come out.

If I remember correctly, Enke has produced a large number of available officials this year. Of course, these people were inconspicuous when Emperor Xuanming was alive. When Qi Yuan ascended the throne, these people happened to be officials for about ten years. backbone.

Although Qi Yuan is very envious of these people, it doesn't mean that all the 60 people in one subject and five can be used. What's more, the people he thinks are useful are those who are listed in front of Emperor Xuanming. He is only the prince now. Can't come forward to recruit people at all.

In fact, there are quite a few officials in the prince's lineage. There are a lot of people in the Zhan Shifu in Guangdong Palace, and the Taifu and the left and right concubines assigned to him by Emperor Xuanming are all great Confucians in the dynasty, and the officials in Zhan Shifu are also great scholars. They are all talented young men, but these people are equipped by Emperor Xuanming, and some things...cannot be discussed.

The reason why Qi Yuan sleeps with Xie Changfeng every night is not only because he just made love, but also because Xie Changfeng is the only one who stands by his side wholeheartedly in the big East Palace, enjoying his pleasures and worrying about his worries.

However, although Xie Changfeng is extremely intelligent and martial arts, after such a long time of understanding, he has also discovered that Xie Changfeng is relatively simple and rough, or because his strength is high enough, he doesn't bother to play tricks on some things.

Of course, if Xie Changfeng started to play tricks, then a large number of people would be unlucky, such as the Daijun family who was burned to death at Yanmen Pass.

Qi Yuan sighed, feeling very delicate and complicated.

It just so happens that the most important thing in the palace is to overcome strength with softness, and Xie Changfeng is not good at this at all.

Qi Yuan thought for a long time and made up his mind.

But this time, he learned the lessons and experiences from his previous calculations, and planned to report to Xie Changfeng at night, so as not to be ruined by Xie Changfeng's big shit-stirring stick.

Qi Zhao's eyes widened, and he looked at the bustling crowd, holding Xiao Miao in his arms, with the vitality and joy of a child on his face.

To be honest, Qi Zhaoxu is five years old, but in fact he is only four and a half years old. Even a child practicing martial arts must be relaxed, otherwise his body will be prone to problems, so Xie Changfeng is not in the back garden like Qi Yuan and Fu thought. Teaching Qizhao to practice martial arts, but holding Qizhao under his arm, Shi Shiran...brought him out of the palace.

"Have you come out to play before?"

Qi Zhao shook his head desperately, "In Dai County, when my mother went out to offer incense, I followed her to the temple."

"Well, that means you don't know anything anymore?" Xie Changfeng slammed his mouth, "Then let me show you around today."

Qi Zhao was very happy, "Well, where are we going?"

"This is the capital city, and it is also where you will live for the rest of your life in the future. How can your family not know what your family is like?"

Xie Changfeng said with a smile, "We must combine theory with practice!"

Qi Zhao tilted his head, looking confused.

On the first day, Xie Changfeng took Qizhao to wander around the streets and alleys of the inner city, pointing to the gates of various mansions, and told Qizhao who lived here, as well as the regulations and grades of various grades of mansions.

Then he gave homework =v=

"Silently draw the streets of the inner city and the locations of the palaces of the important ministers?"

Qi Yuan watched his son holding a brush and drawing a square grid on the big white paper with a sad face, smiled and shook his head.

Qi Zhao's small face was wrinkled, "Aunt Cao Guo lives here... Grandpa lives here... Aunt Linchuan lives here..."

Qi Zhao patronized and played during the day, so naturally he didn't remember anything when he came back at night, so he could only ask his personal eunuch bitterly. The little eunuch was very clever, and immediately told his master the exact location.

Then the next day, the little eunuch disappeared.

Qi Zhao was dumbfounded.

Xie Changfeng picked up Qizhao, put it on his lap, gave him a crackling beating, and cursed angrily, "I taught you! Not your eunuch! You kid is not even as good as an eunuch? It's too shameful!!"

Qi Zhao was very angry, and ran to Mrs. Fu crying, saying that Xie Changfeng was very experienced in beating people. After inviting Imperial Physician Ren for diagnosis and treatment, Imperial Physician Ren told Mrs. Fu with a smile, "Your Highness, there is nothing wrong, the swelling will subside within an hour."

Mrs. Fu was angry now. Although Xie Changfeng did not teach Qizhao martial arts, he was also Qizhao's teacher. Even the prince would be punished by the Taifu to copy the book, and the prince would not ask the eunuch to help copy the book!

Fu punished Qizhao not to eat at night, and Qizhao was completely wilted.

He didn't sleep well all night. When he got up in the morning, his master Xie Changfeng came over and beat him up again. The main idea was...

"You actually sued me? You can, you! The thing I despise the most is that you didn't succeed? Are you a little bit successful? If you want to sue, you have to seize the opportunity to kill the other party at once. Is there any use in crying?!"

Qi Zhao was stunned when he heard this, and he looked at his teacher cautiously, "Master, are you not angry?"

"Boy, listen up!!" Xie Changfeng pressed Qizhao's head, stared at the little apprentice's eyes, and said word by word, "Those who steal the hook will be punished, and those who steal the country will be punished! Winners and losers, you succeed!" If you fail, no one will mention your past failures, but if you fail, then this will be a stain on your life."

Although Qi Zhao didn't quite understand what Xie Changfeng said, he remembered everything Xie Changfeng said in his heart.

From then on, no matter what Xie Changfeng asked him to do, Qi Zhao no longer dared to paddle, and gradually, he actually enjoyed it.

In just ten days, Qi Zhao walked all the streets and alleys of Chang'an, and under the pressure of Xie Changfeng's fried pork with bamboo shoots, he remembered all these alleys in his heart.

At the same time, the Tribute Court announced the ranking of the examination.

This Enke, Zuo Qingqiu is the chief examiner, there are no disciples of Zuo Qingqiu among the candidates who came to take the exam, but there are quite a lot of disciples.

Zuo Qingqiu had been the prime minister for six years, even though he consciously controlled it, there were still a lot of disciples and grandchildren, some of them he didn't even remember himself, but Qi Yuan remembered them clearly.

This year, Zuo Qingqiu will have four disciples and grandchildren on the imperial list. Of course, these four people did not visit the door before the start of the examination, and no one knew about it. Master, Zuo Qingqiu also treated them equally, and did not deliberately appease his four disciples and grandchildren.

But Qi Yuan knew very well that now he needed a channel to communicate with Zuo Qingqiu, this channel must be concealed and natural, even if Emperor Xuanming found out in the future, Emperor Xuanming would not have any excuse to deal with it.

After pondering for a while, Qi Yuan crossed out the two people who were related to the aristocratic family, leaving two people on the paper.

One is the grandson of Princess Cao, and the other is a student of Bailu Academy.

Princess Cao is the only remaining younger sister of the former emperor. This eldest princess has a gentle personality. She married Yang Weibo Lu Chen. The husband and wife love each other. They are a relatively harmonious couple in the clan. This couple has three sons and a daughter. They will take the exam this year. This son is the son's eldest son, Lu Jue, who is fifteen years old.

Qi Yuan smiled, glanced past Lu Jue, and his eyes stopped on the last person.

Xie Pingchuan.

Yes, Xie Pingchuan and Xie Changfeng have the same surname. If it is the first time to see the names of these two people, it is estimated that many people will suspect that these two people are brothers.

But Qi Yuan knew that the two had nothing to do with each other.

Xie Pingchuan is from Suzhou and Hangzhou. His great-grandfather was a businessman in the former dynasty. His generation just happened to be able to take the imperial examination. He didn't reveal it, and then the whole family did their best to support Xie Pingchuan to study.

Xie Pingchuan is thirty-five years old this year, and his eldest son should have passed the Tongsheng exam this year, so he can be regarded as a successor.

In his previous life, Xie Pingchuan was his confidant. After Qi Yuan ascended the throne to rectify the court, Xie Pingchuan served as prime minister and devoted himself to everything. The monarch and his ministers are in harmony with each other, and a good beginning and a good end.

Both Xie Pingchuan and Lu Jue can be used, but different people have different usages.

Qi Yuan smiled slightly, with confidence in mind.

"You let me keep an eye on these two?"

Xie Changfeng stared at the piece of paper. He knew that Lu Jue, as the only surviving grandson of the eldest princess in the clan, was the one they, the guards, needed to pay attention to.

Xie Changfeng tilted his head, "What are you doing?"

Qi Zhao immediately explained to Xie Changfeng, "Lu Jue has a background, and the possibility of being assigned to Zhan Shifu in the East Palace is relatively high in the future, but he is a clan and has the eldest princess as his backing, so coming to Zhan Shifu is just a matter of coping. ,but……"

He shook his head, "Lu Jue has good knowledge and is good at natural craftsmanship, so don't be too pity, in the future..." After a pause, he gritted his teeth and said, "He is my favorite military supervisor."

Xie Changfeng narrowed his eyes slightly, and put Lu Jue in bold on the top in his heart, ready to observe closely, and then looked at another name.

"Xie Pingchuan? Who is this?"

"Xie Pingchuan is a man who admires power, has ambitions, is well-educated, extremely intelligent, and is best at calculating people's hearts. I plan to ask him to be my guest..."

Before he finished speaking, Qi Yuan saw Xie Changfeng's hand crushed, and the paper in his hand was blown to pieces with the wind.

Qi Yuan: "..."

Xie Changfeng laughed and said, "Go on."

Qi Yuan coughed, "I'm in the East Palace, so it's inconvenient to come forward to recruit him, so I'll leave this matter to you, how about it?"

Xie Changfeng said with satisfaction, "No problem, leave it to me!"

Qi Yuan was a little worried, "Don't mess around, I really like him."

Xie Changfeng looked hurt, "Do you not believe me so much? Since you are optimistic about him, of course I will provide him with good food and drink. Don't you still expect him to give you advice?"

Qi Yuan felt ashamed immediately when he heard the words, Xie Changfeng was so devoted to him, it was because he cared too much.

That night, Xie Changfeng finally broke through the stage of hugging the pillow with his little hands, and kissed Xiao Xiang's little mouth for a long time.

The next day, after Xie Changfeng bid farewell to Qizhao, he turned his face and showed a murderous look.

"Xie Pingchuan? I can't beat you to death!!"
