half a month later.
The magnificent inner palace is full of golden light.
In front of the red sandalwood desk, the emperor in the bright yellow dragon robe was attentive from time to time.
He wrote an imperial edict with pen and ink, flowing and flowing.
The top three of the palace examination came out, which were lanmoxuan, Ji Dongyu and Liu Ziwen.
"Emperor, have you chosen it?" Several ministers around the table, face to face, looking at these names asked.
The emperor's face was quiet, and the light in his eyes was obscure: "don't say anything. I know what you want to say?"
Having said that, some ministers were still speechless: "emperor, the performance of lanmoxuan in the palace examination is obvious to all civil and military officials, and he is worthy of the champion. But this season, Dongyu's qualification is a little poor, and Liu Ziwen's performance is not bad, but he is also strong as a flower explorer. I don't know what the emperor's criteria for selecting talents are? "
The minister tried to recall the students he saw in the palace examination. Several of them clearly performed well, and they all surpassed the light of Tanhua.
The three ministers were all the emperor's confidants. Seeing their doubts, the emperor readily solved them.
"Don't you forget what I've asked you to check? The sixth Prince bribed a lot of students in order to restrain talents and expand his power. Do you really think I don't know that I will let him go?
The top three must be from me. Liu Ziwen is wavering in his mind and has had contact with the sixth prince. He will stay here for the time being to avoid suspicion. "
If a person who has not been contacted by liuwangye will attract the attention of the old fox, he will pretend to be confused properly.
"The emperor is wise and steady. It's a great blessing." The prime minister is very humane.
Another minister said: "I'm afraid that the sixth prince never thought that his mind would be known to all."
The emperor said, "if you want to play hard to get, I'll let him go first and see how arrogant he will be? What I am most satisfied with this time is that lanmoxuan has not only a literary talent, but also a set of strategies for governing the country. "
Speaking of LAN Moxuan, the prime minister stroked his beard and couldn't help praising him: "I can't imagine that the blue family of the emperor businessman is still talented. LAN Shangshu has been an official for many years and is highly praised. Now his cousin, who is the number one scholar in high school, really shines on his family."
The two brothers of the blue family are not simple.
The emperor nodded: "if there are more talents like this, the prosperous country will be stable. There are not many young people with both ability and political integrity. "
"The emperor doesn't need to be sentimental. As long as you get rid of these rebellious officials and thieves, Dasheng will be more prosperous. The officials will serve the emperor and die." Several ministers are busy showing their loyalty.
"Well said." The emperor clapped his high five in an impassioned voice.
As long as you get rid of the six princes, you can revive the imperial platform. Over the years, he has been thinking about his uncle and nephew. Who knows that he is raising a tiger for trouble.
Seeing his power expand little by little, the emperor realized the seriousness of the problem until he was ignored.
Several ministers stepped back and several generals came in.
"I'll see the emperor."
"Flat." The emperor's tone was light. Pacing back and forth in the hall, he saw General Li, Xue Chuan, and the commander of the Imperial Army and asked, "do you know what I'm calling you for?"
General Li glanced at the people beside him and replied, "I guess it's related to this palace examination."
"That's right." The emperor looked at these powerful generals with great satisfaction, and his confidence increased: "commander Xue, looking at me, is there anything to say?"
"The emperor is wise."
The emperor said with a smile: "there is no outsider here, and I am not a fatuous king. I don't think it's a blessing to have more ministers who have the courage to direct their advice."
These generals are all selected by him and can be regarded as his right-hand men. We have to work together in this battle.
"Emperor, the top three of this year, except for the wavering Liu Ziwen, I'm afraid they are all our people. If the emperor oppresses the sixth prince so much, is war imminent?" Xue Chuan asked.
Liu Ziwen contributed to this line, thus adding a criminal responsibility to the sixth prince. It is punishable to restrain talents without permission.
"You're right. In recent days, both the barracks and the imperial army should be on guard."
The meaning of the emperor was obvious. A civil war was about to break out.
General Li said: "please rest assured, Emperor. More than 30000 soldiers on this side of the barracks are ready to fight at any time."
These soldiers are stationed on the outskirts of the capital, and will arrive soon if anything happens.
The military commander of the imperial forest led the way: "emperor, the palace has also sent more people here."
"Good." The emperor nodded his head with satisfaction. His eyes were sharp, and he had a kind of domineering power that the country was under control.
His eyes moved, and he said: "I remember that deputy general Lei is the most capable general of the sixth prince. How is he recently?"
"Just the same." Xue Chuan returned.
This line is what he heard from Ning Xueyan. He didn't have a complete grasp of general Lei's every move.
After all, it's too private. Deputy Lei will guard against it. Even his own women won't tell the whole story, or they won't have their present status.
"Keep an eye on him. He's the key." The emperor narrowed his eyes and was murderous.
"Don't worry, the emperor. Some of my clues are from his favorite concubine, and I have gained a lot." Xue Chuan Gongshou road.
Since ancient times, heroes are sad for the return of beauties. Although deputy general Lei is not a hero, he is also a man. After all, he can't pass the beauty level.
As soon as he thought that Ning Xueyan was hanging out with Liu Ziwen in the inn every other time, he didn't pay attention to deputy general Lei at all, so he felt extremely ironic.
Deputy general Lei thinks he is invincible. He must have never thought that Ning Xueyan revealed all of his secrets.
"Yes? It's really interesting. " The emperor hooked his lips and said with a smile, "the sixth Prince is good at scheming and employing people, but I didn't expect that if he used the wrong person, how promising can he be if he indulges in gentleness?"
In this way, he is more confident.
"The main reason is that there are not many people available under the sixth Lord." Xue Chuan said that those party members were investigated and dealt with by the emperor for various reasons, but deputy general Lei was still in deep mind.
"There are still a few important people who can make progress."
"The other officials, who have been keeping their peace recently, must be retreating." Xue Chuan said: "emperor, you can force and lure these people into the flag properly."
If the six kings restrain their talents, the emperor can also restrain his people.
"What Ai Qing said is very true." The emperor nodded with satisfaction.
At this time, the door of the hall was knocked. With the sonorous voice of the emperor, Duke Xu came in.
"The emperor, the Empress Dowager's side sends a message, lunch moves to drive CI Ning palace."
"I see. Go down." With that, the emperor said to several generals, "all right, step back."
"Yes, Emperor." The crowd retreated.
