Chapter 699: The Battle of the Great Test
Under normal circumstances, he has served in the imperial court for more than ten years, and he can only serve with the trust of the emperor, one of the nine important ministers at the core of the Holy State, Roland is almost one step to the sky.
The Great Emperor couldn't help but smile when he saw Lei so happy.
But he still has headaches.
Originally, he was actually very optimistic about the second child, and was ready to die in forty or fifty years, so that the second child would take over the throne, but unfortunately the second child couldn't bear it, and couldn't wait to kill the king and usurp the throne, and was given the death penalty.
Lei has a weak personality and respects Wenzhi, and is not suitable for holding the throne, while the remaining fifth and sixth children are quite capable among the princes, but the two of them are half a catty and a half.
Who should the crown prince choose gave him a little headache.
"Lei'er, you said the fifth or the sixth, which of them is better?"
"The child doesn't dare to say that it is the father's sacred heart to choose the crown prince, but no matter which one the father chooses, they just don't force me and my mother to be cornered."
"That's natural, this king has always doted on your mother, whoever dares to embarrass her, this king will take care of them, and wait for my father to think about it, who will inherit the crown prince."
In a blink of an eye, it was the eve of the big test.
Most of the preparatory students who had been trained in various parts of the Holy Empire, and even far away in other princely countries, had returned to the Holy Imperial Capital in 6 consecutive years, preparing to participate in the triennial test of the Divine Palace Branch.
If you can't break through to the Moon Realm and become a Sage.
Then the great test that will be held tomorrow will determine the identity and status of these preparatory students in the Holy Empire in the future.
Several times before the students, except for the recently enrolled student, who is expected to become a saint within ten years, no one else dares to think that he will definitely become a saint.
The big test of the Shengong branch has also become a contest for all the preparatory students.
In the imperial capital, the branch of the shrine, which once seemed quite empty and quiet, suddenly became extremely lively.
All the prospective students looked high-spirited.
In this palace change, the reserve students of the Jingu Branch, only less than one percent of the reserve students, were involved in the rebellion, and the loss was very small.
In contrast, half of the royal family, about forty percent of the court ministers, and thirty percent of the feudal ministers were affected.
At best, he was dismissed, demoted, or demoted, and at worst he was assigned to the frontier to fill the army, leaving a large number of vacancies inside and outside the court, and a large number of new people were urgently needed to fill them.
The preparatory students of the Jingu Branch who are waiting for this big test naturally have a bright future, and a large number of good official positions are waiting for them.
Sandour, Rice and other well-known old prep-takers in the Jingu branch set up a big banquet on the night before the big test, and invited all the pre-preparers of the Jingu branch to gather together.
More than 100 preparatory students of the Jingu branch were all invited to this banquet.
Roland has already become a hot figure in the imperial capital because of the two cases of poisoning the palace and forcing the palace to kill the king, and he is respected and praised by many preparatory students.
"Brother Roland, this first cup is to you, no matter what the result of this big test is, whether it is the top ten, or the top twenty or thirty, you can be arranged for important official positions, thanks to your reminder in advance, most of us are not on the wrong side."
"On the day of the emperor's birthday banquet, we are firmly on the emperor's side, which is the good result today, after the big test, we may be officials in the same dynasty, everyone, I will toast Brother Roland together!"
Sandour raised his glass, his face full of excitement, and said to the preparatory students in the hall.
"Yes, most of our current session is thanks to Brother Roland, we must give Brother Roland a cup!"
"Brother Roland, don't shirk!"
Many preparatory students raised their glasses and said excitedly.
Suddenly, a voice sneered: "Hmph, I thought that Imlin of the last session wrote an essay on "On Water System Spells" in the second round of the big test, openly pleasing the emperor, which was enough to become inflammatory. ”
"I didn't expect that now there is a Roland, even more peaking, before the big test, he has already begun to shoot the emperor's sycophants, it seems that this big test, no matter how we take the test, this year's big test hall, the first must be him."
"This kind of person, I am ashamed to be with him, ashamed to compete in the big test."
Another voice also chimed in: "That is, the first place in this Great Test Hall has already been decided." ”
"No matter what the score of the first round of the big test is, the second round of the big test is none other than Roland No. 1, what are we fighting for, we will also pick up the leftover cold vegetable leftovers from him, and there is still a large group of people to pat his ass, there is no shame!"
There was a sudden silence in the hall, and many preparatory students looked at the sarcastic person.
I saw that in this hall, there was a small group of preparatory students, who did not have the slightest look of joy, but were full of sneers on their faces, and they were all very cold.
Roland looked over and saw that among the small group of preparatory students, a handsome young man in white and a young man with a brave face were the two of them just now, making mocking remarks.
The handsome young man in white looked at him with great hatred.
"Those two, one is the grandson of the former military department Shangshu, Xia Zihao, this person is a famous young genius in the Sacred Imperial Capital, once ranked first in the Royal Academy, known as the young generation of the Imperial Capital, and the top talent among the stars."
"The other is Dai Ning, a member of the clan of the former Soba City Lord Dane, and also the best among the preparatory students of the Divine Palace Branch."
Les immediately whispered to Roland, who was at the next table.
These two are very famous in the imperial capital and in the branch of the shrine.
To be able to be in the Holy Imperial Capital, a place where the country's heroes gather, he ranked first when he was a teenager, and he was definitely a top genius.
The two of them, together with Les, who was born in the Divine Royal Family, are known as the three masters of this year's Divine Palace Branch, and are considered by everyone in the Divine Imperial Capital to be the most likely to win the top three candidates in the big test.
Sandur, Doqi and the others are much inferior to the three masters of this Divine Palace Branch.
Of course, since Roland quelled the palace change, in just over a month, his reputation has been soaring, and no one can compare it at all.
The three masters of the Divine Palace Branch have long been overshadowed, not to mention them, even their father and grandfather are useless, and they can't stop Roland's strong rise.
The prediction of the top three in this big test is naturally no longer mentioned, and no one thinks that Xia Zihao and Dai Ning are still expected to become the top three.
Roland nodded slightly, immediately understood.
Among the hundreds of preparatory students in this Divine Palace Branch, there are at least dozens of them, who are the relatives of those who have been desecrated, the ministers of the imperial court, the ministers of the feudal territory, and the relatives of the royal family.
It's just that this palace change has not implicated all the families, so these preparatory students can also participate in the big test, although the emperor allows them to participate, but obviously they will not be given any good rankings.
How could they be grateful to him, naturally they hated him deeply.
Sandur looked at Xia Zihao and the others, and retorted with disdain: "Xia Zihao, I don't like to listen to what you say, do you want to learn from your grandfather Xia Mar, pat the second prince's ass, and force the palace to rebel in the Jinluan Palace, this is called uprightness and righteousness?" ”
"This sycophancy, slapping on a prince who has not ascended the throne, your grandfather is too early!"
