"Su'er, do you have any private dealings with your princes?"

Osman asked in a deep voice to his son, who was standing in front of him. Eighty-one? Middle? Text ≥≠≤.≥8≤1=Z=

His only worry was that someone in the family was carrying him behind his back, secretly having deep friendships with other princes, and getting involved in this palace change.

Su Er arched his hand and smiled lightly: "Father, the child has a little friendship with several princes, but they are all normal friendships, and there is no private contact. ”

"Three years ago, we brought a birthday gift to the palace, and the gift list is still kept... You've seen it..."

Sur's face was pale.

But it's no surprise that his face has always been like this.

Osman took the gift list and scanned it, the gift list from three years ago was full of good rare treasures and rewards, almost no medicinal herbs, food, and nothing that would cause poisoning.

The emperor's illness has nothing to do with his family, and there is no one in the family, who has close contacts with the kings and grandchildren, so he should not be affected by this palace change.

"Su'er, you have to remember that no matter which prince becomes the new emperor, our family is a golden field, and one of the few great families has a place in the north, so there is no need to mix it in."

Osman was a little relieved and admonished.

"Yes, the boy understands." Sur lowered his eyebrows and said, but he didn't think so.

Only the courtiers who have the trust of the emperor will be appointed as the city lord of the ten major cities, otherwise, there are so many courtiers in the Holy Empire, where is the position of city lord so easy to get.

When the new emperor ascends to the throne, it is estimated that this golden field will also be replaced, and as soon as the position changes, the power of the family will be much less than before.

The rise and fall of the Ottoman family is all on the emperor alone.

The emperor saw it and entrusted him with a heavy task, and the family mastered the power of a city and immediately prospered.

The emperor couldn't look down on it, and if he was rewarded for an idle official position, the family power immediately declined and was replaced by another family.

Unless it is a family of holy valves, it is the real prosperity of the millennium, as long as the great sage is alive for one day, no matter which emperor reigns, the family of holy valves can enjoy the most noble preferential treatment, occupy the treasure land and important mines in the kingdom, and do not worry about financial resources.

The Holy Valve family does not need to look at the face of the emperor, and does not need to get involved in the disputes of the imperial court.

However, how can it be so easy to become a great sage, it all depends on chance, or a little luck.

For all cultivators, becoming a Great Sage is a luxury, an unrealistic idea that they can't grasp it even if they try their best.

The six-star pinnacle is generally the limit of what they can reach.

The most practical idea is to become a preparatory student of the Shengong Branch, and then perform well in the big test, be valued by the emperor, and become a feudal minister, so that the family can obtain a lot of resources and at least fifty years of prosperity.

The Ottoman family is just a nine-star family, and its status is not secure, if it does not seize the opportunity to join the future new emperor, it will only be the prosperity of the current twenty or thirty years.

"That is, the sun rises, and I go to the imperial capital to celebrate my birthday." Osman ordered.

Early the next morning.

A team from the Golden Fields came out, including the city lord Osman, the dean of the Northern Demon Martial Academy, the palace master of the northern academy of the Divine Hall, and some local clans congratulated the emperor on his birthday, about a hundred people, and set off for the imperial capital.

Because of the tight time, this birthday team in the golden field did not have too many entourages, they all traveled lightly, riding wildebeest and monster mounts, and hurried to the imperial capital day and night.

Holy Imperial Capital.

As soon as the royal decree in the palace was announced, the news reached the branch of the shrine, and the courtyard was immediately jubilant.

All the preparatory students originally thought that this year's big test was going to be canceled, and they didn't know when it would be held, and the people's hearts were in turmoil, and almost all the prep students had no intention of taking the big test.

Unexpectedly, the concubine of the prison country actually announced that the big test would be carried out as usual.

When the Jingu branch got the news, they couldn't help but be very excited.

A group of preparatory students who are in the imperial capital invite each other in groups to go to the best restaurant in the imperial capital to celebrate.

"It seems that God helps me, if this big test is another three years, I don't know what will happen, and some powerful newcomers will emerge to grab this big test list, I'm just afraid that the hope will get smaller and smaller."

"But in this big test in front of me, I dare not say anything else, I am at least expected to be in the top ten."

The old preparer Sandur couldn't help but be overjoyed, poured a glass of wine and filled it, and raised his glass to the preparers.

"Brother Plet, Brother Merce, and Brother Dodge, are all expected to enter the top ten in the big test, and even enter the top three.

"In the future, we will all serve the imperial court, and of course we must support each other."

Many preparatory students raised their glasses and complimented.

The preparatory students of the Divine Palace Branch are very wise, few people will bury their heads in the Moon Realm and cultivate, after reaching the high star, it is difficult for the realm to climb up, and the strongest is only the peak of the Nine Stars.

Their focus has gradually shifted to the power of the imperial court.

With power, you can have cultivation resources, and only then can your family also prosper.

That's why it's so important.

All the preparatory students know that only by entering the top ten of the big test can they hope to be reused by the imperial court, and they are all candidates outside the ten, and they hold idle official positions, and the chance of being reused is very small.

The top three will go to the Divine Palace to cultivate and become a member of the Divine Palace.

"You have one less Roland, his strength is unfathomable, far above me."

Sandour immediately waved his hand and said.

Others may not know, but he and another old student know very well that Roland has a relationship with the eldest prince Lei.

After the emperor fell ill, he did not see foreign ministers, and now few people can enter the palace, and even the ministers of the court are not allowed to go in to visit.

The noble concubine Lunyana is in charge of the country, and she and the eldest prince Lei do not trust these court ministers, and are worried that the court ministers and the princes will collude to plot the throne.

Their worries did not come out of thin air, many ministers had long been uninterested in government, and they were shouting that a certain prince would become the crown prince, and they were eager to hug the thighs of the future new emperor.

But Roland has some friendship with the eldest prince Lei, and he has his trust to be able to enter the palace to see the concubine Lun Yana.

Sandall saw that the day before yesterday, Roland had entered the palace once.

In the early court today, the concubine issued two edicts that were as sharp as knives and had a murderous aura: the emperor's birthday banquet and the big test as usual.

Sandall felt that it was probably Roland who was meddling in the affairs of the palace and supporting the concubine's mother and son behind his back, otherwise, after the emperor became seriously ill, how could the concubine suddenly show such a drastic means to force the culprit to come out.

Luo Lan had just returned from cultivation, and through the Great Prince Lei, he manipulated the situation of the Holy Court behind his back.

This shocked and frightened him.
