Chapter 261: You Are the Emperor, You Are Justified
The big man looked at Gonggong Liu as if asking for help, but saw Gonggong Liu's eyebrows lowered, looking like I didn't know you.
"Don't you say yes?"
Princess Shaoguang frowned and looked at Ye Changan, "You say, why did you come to assassinate my father?"
"Princess, I'm not an assassin, I'm wronged. โ
Ye Changan said perfunctorily, "I don't know this big man with an axe at all." โ
Princess Shaoguang circled around Ye Chang'an, and asked suspiciously, "You didn't lie to me?"
"Princess, you are so smart, how can I deceive you?"
"Well, since you didn't lie to me, you can go. โ
Ye Changan: "ยทยทยท"
"Really?" Ye Changan's face was happy, this princess is really good, simple, kind, and knows right from wrong.
"Ahem..."
Gonggong Liu coughed, and suddenly took the initiative to speak: "Pull the plate axe thief down and put him in the prison, this person, I will interrogate him personally." โ
Ye Changan frowned, and had a faint guess in his heart, which was obviously deliberately aimed at him.
The middle-aged man who was reading a book suddenly raised his head and looked at this scene with interest, a smile curled up at the corner of his mouth, but he didn't speak.
"What's your name?"
"Ye Chang'an. โ
"Where?"
"Liangzhou, Cangwolf County, Pingshui Town. โ
Ye Changan smiled, "Father-in-law is afraid that he knows me, right?"
"What?" Princess Shaoguang suddenly frowned and said, "Gonggong Liu, do you know him?"
"Back to the princess, the old slave doesn't know him," Gonggong Liu bowed slightly, and said to Ye Changan again: "What evidence do you have to prove that you are not an accomplice of the thief?"
Ye Changan only felt that this low-level temptation was a little boring, but he still said honestly:
"I came with Huang Zhongyun, the lord of Liangzhou Prefecture, and I didn't meet anyone else along the way, and I was taken away by the people of the Silver Dragon Guard and locked up in that courtyard near the imperial city. โ
"Father-in-law Liu, I don't know what your purpose is in arresting me in this way, I can only say..."
"Between people, can you retain a trace of sincerity, if you have any words, just say it directly, what kind of man is a man who hides and hides?"
As soon as these words came out, I heard the middle-aged man who was reading the book sneering, and hurriedly covered his mouth again.
Princess Shaoguang also covered her mouth and smiled, her eyes laughed like a crescent moon, which was amazing.
Gonggong Liu has no waves, what is wrong with not being a man? It is my honor to be able to accompany His Majesty all the time.
"Forget it," Gonggong Liu suddenly flicked his sleeves and looked at the man who was reading, "Lock him up in Wuwei Hall first, and then you take him to the court with the other people who participated in the test three days later." โ
After speaking, Gonggong Liu took Princess Shaoguang and left.
Sitting in the carriage, Princess Shaoguang still felt unsatisfied, "Father-in-law Liu, that person just now, is also going to take the test?"
"Yes. โ
ยทยทยท
Ye Changan was 'imprisoned' in Wuwei Hall, but he enjoyed unusual treatment.
Big fish, good food and wine, brand new bedding, it is not an exaggeration to say that you are a guest.
Except that you can't leave the room and see anyone, it's comfortable.
Three days passed in a flash.
At this time, as soon as the first ray of sunlight lit up in the sky, someone from Wuweitang came to wake up Ye Changan and sent new clothes.
Changing into a white robe embroidered with silver flowers made Ye Changan a little more bookish.
Ye Changan saw that there were already twenty more young people in Wuwei Hall, and each of them was heroic and extraordinary.
The middle-aged man in charge of Wuwei Hall was still holding a book, and without saying a word, he led everyone into the carriage and rushed towards the palace.
After entering the palace and waiting for the carriage to stop, the middle-aged man walked through a wide square with twenty candidates and Ye Changan, and stopped in front of a staircase.
The stairs are hundreds of steps, and the palace at the top is set off majesticly.
There, it is the place where the government is discussed, it is called Taiping, which means peace in the world.
When many Wenchen generals saw the man who took the lead in Wuweitang, they would come over with a smile to say hello.
Ye Changan secretly remembered in his heart that the harmless middle-aged man in front of him was definitely not a small person.
When these officials all climbed the steps, a scholar standing next to Ye Changan couldn't help but speak.
"My lord, when are we going to go in?"
The middle-aged man smiled, "Wait, Your Majesty has to deal with national affairs first, and after that, it will be the test session." โ
Not far away, a sturdy man in silver armor walked slowly, he was swordsman-eyed, not angry, wearing a heavy helmet, and a silver cloak at the back, typical of the silver dragon guard.
However, as the man approached, Ye Changan involuntarily took a step back, without him, the aura on this man was too strong.
Ye Changan estimated that he regarded himself as a mortal, and this person was at least a master of strength.
"Commander Zhao," the middle-aged man from Wuwei Hall hugged his fists and said with a smile, "Is there anything abnormal in the palace today?"
The man clenched his fists and bowed slightly, "Don't worry, Lord Mo, the palace is stable." โ
Mo nodded leisurely, rolled up the book in his hand and inserted it into his waist, and then said to Ye Changan and the others: "This is the leader of President Yinlongwei, Zhao Beishan." โ
"It turned out to be the commander of the Silver Dragon Guard, no wonder," Ye Changan's eyes lit up, if he cultivated to the point of transformation in this world again, wouldn't he be able to get such a position as the commander?
When the time comes, if the family comes, it will be good to have something to rely on.
"Are these the students who are going to take the exam today? Why are they all so weak?"
Zhao Beishan frowned, "Haven't you ever practiced martial arts?"
Mo Yi shook his head and smiled, "Forget it, from Wenyi, it's okay to be able to achieve something, don't expect them to be able to be literate and martial." โ
Zhao Beishan clenched his fists again and turned away.
Mo nodded leisurely, glanced back, and glanced at Ye Chang'an with great meaning, "Zhao Beishan is the most powerful person in the palace, except for Gonggong Liu, who is only thirty years old, but has nine-star combat power. โ
Upon hearing this, many students were curious.
"My lord, how many stars do you have?"
"Me?" Mo smiled mysteriously, shaking his head without answering.
Ye Changan secretly estimated that according to the road, people like Mo and other leisure are generally hidden very deeply, and maybe, they are some peerless masters.
"Xuan Mo and the others will take all the students to meet you!"
As soon as he heard this, Mo Waitian hurriedly tidied up his makeup, and said softly: "Come up with me, you are all children, and many of your family members are officials in the court, so I won't talk about the excess, just pay attention to etiquette." โ
Ye Changan frowned, caught in the middle of the crowd, and walked briskly towards the steps.
After climbing this step, Ye Changan couldn't help but smile bitterly, whenever he climbed the steps, he would gasp for breath.
The palace is extremely solemn, the three big characters of Taiping are hung high, and from here, you can only see rows of Wenchen generals standing neatly.
In the middle was a passage paved with a red carpet, and Ye Changan walked at the back, following the others to slowly enter.
"Minister... Don't wait, meet Your Majesty!"
"The king ** greets Your Majesty!"
"Li **, please meet Your Majesty!"
"Song ** to meet Your Majesty..."
Ye Changan stood at the back, and after waiting for the people in front of him to bend down, he happened to see the emperor sitting on the dragon chair holding a fold.
Ye Changan couldn't help but nodded, this emperor was wearing a dragon robe, but his long hair was scattered, his face was expressionless, and he didn't wear a golden crown like he played on TV.
"Chic! โ
This is Ye Changan's new label for the emperor.
Just as the emperor looked up, he saw Ye Chang'an, who was standing straight, and frowned: "What's your name, why don't you bend down to meet you?"
Ye Changan grinned, bent down slightly, hugged his fists and said, "Ye Changan, I've seen Your Majesty." โ
"Hypocrisy!"
Someone opened his mouth to reprimand, "If your heart is not sincere! If you don't worship Your Majesty, you should be punished for the crime of disrespect!"
The emperor smiled slightly, his eyebrows lowered, "Ye Chang'an, hmm... Do you hear that?"
Ye Changan nodded, "I heard it." โ
"And what do you think?"
"Zhu Jiu Clan!" Ye Changan stretched out his hand and pointed at the person who said that he would cure himself for the crime of disrespect, and said sharply: "Your Majesty is here, this guy is actually acting on behalf of the Nine Clans!"
"Presumptuous!" The old man who was pointed at was so angry that his beard trembled, and he hurriedly walked out, knelt on the ground and trembled: "Your Majesty, I definitely didn't mean that, please forgive your Majesty!"
Ye Changan sneered in his heart, whoever makes you talk too much, you will punish me at every turn, and I can't scare you to death!
"Hong Qing, get up," the emperor smiled, "This kid named Ye Changan is really open-mouthed." โ
"What Your Majesty said is extremely true!" Hong Daguang wiped his cold sweat and quickly stood up, but he didn't dare to say anything more, for fear that Ye Changan would say something again.
But Hong Daguang doesn't speak, it doesn't mean that others don't speak.
"Your Majesty. โ
Ye Changan saw that there was a chair on the side of the right front, and an old man in a yellow python robe was sitting.
He sat there with two cold lights in his triangular eyes.
"Your Majesty, such a great traitor should be punished. โ
The Emperor nodded, "The Prime Minister has a point. โ
Prime minister?
Ye Changan's eyes lit up, that old man, is the prime minister?
"But," the Emperor waved his hand suddenly, "after the trial, let's deal with this matter, and begin." โ
Gonggong Liu, who was standing on the side of Emperor Li Jingtian, stepped forward and said, "Try, start." โ
When the words landed, I saw that these officials walked to the side one after another, and some eunuchs and palace maids trotted up with pen, ink, paper and inkstone.
Ye Changan knew that among the people who participated in the test with him, many of his elders were standing here.
But he knows no one.
"Father, you said okay to let me be the examiner, why don't you let people call me?"
Princess Shaoguang's voice suddenly sounded outside, and then she saw a beautiful shadow running in, and said angrily: "Father and Emperor lied to me again!"
"Shaoguang, this is Taiping, don't make a loud noise," Emperor Li Jingtian frowned, "Don't make a sound, wait for them to finish answering, and then talk about anything else." โ
Princess Shaoguang stomped her feet, her eyes swept around, and fell on Ye Changan's face.
"You're really there, take the exam well, and I'll look at your exam papers in a while. โ
Ye Changan nodded with a smile and lowered his gaze to look at the exam paper.
It's just that this first glance made Ye Changan's back break out in a cold sweat.
Looking at the others, their faces were also pale.
If the first two questions left room for candidates to be sloppy, then this questionnaire is not allowed to take advantage of loopholes.
Ask:
If Prime Minister [Lin Heru] rebelled, how should he respond?
Ye Changan: โฐโฏ
Is it okay to shiver?
Your Majesty, if you want to be crazy, I won't stop you, can you not take me with you?
Ye Changan was speechless, but the others were scared to death, holding a brush in their hands, and they didn't dare to put down the pen at all.
But cold sweat kept dripping on the exam papers.
Li Jingtian laughed, stood up and said with a smile: "Prime Minister, this question, the widow asks how to deal with it if you rebel, you see, they are so scared that they don't dare to write, haha!"
Prime Minister [Lin Heru] smiled lightly, "What's so hard about this?"
[Lin Heru] glanced at the candidates and said with a smile: "You can answer how you want, Your Majesty assumes that the old man rebels, which is testing your ability to strategize." โ
"I... I can't answer!"
"Me too, I... I'm not going to take the test!"
Ye Changan frowned, if he doesn't take the test, then he has already written most of the volume?
"Oh~ The one called Ye Changan, you wrote it?" Li Jingtian smiled, stood up, and slowly walked towards Ye Changan.
Prime Minister [Lin Heru] looked cold, sat on the chair and did not move.
The emperor didn't look at Ye Changan's answer, but all the expressions in his eyes disappeared in an instant, like an abyss.
"You wrote the answer, aren't you afraid that I and the prime minister will punish you for your crimes?"
Ye Changan was unhappy, and said with a blank face: "This is all hypothesis, and it is not true, besides, it is not a bad thing to take precautions." โ
"It's a good plan for a rainy day, hehe," the emperor sneered, "The prime minister is dedicated to the country, and he is the head of the literati of Wuwei State, you are a little grass people, and you dare to answer?"
"You should be like everyone else, don't answer, or even tear up the exam papers, or scold the widow for not treating the prime minister as an imaginary enemy!"
Ye Changan: "ยทยทยทยทยท"
Act, whatever you want.
You are the emperor, and everything you say makes sense.
