Chapter 22 Eligibility
In the court of the southern departure country, the ministers were discussing how to select a group of young rising stars to enter the army for training.
"Your Majesty, the significance of this selection is important, the beast tide in the border city has become more and more frequent in recent years, and the minister thinks that a competition can be held in the country, so that the young people of the whole country can actively participate, and the judge can be presided over by the elders of the Imperial Academy! I wonder what His Majesty thinks? "It was Murong Ze who proposed this construction.
Nanli Emperor Nangong Ling nodded with satisfaction: "This method is very good!" Then this matter will be handed over to Murong Aiqing to be fully responsible. ”
"Obey the order!" Murong Ze took the order.
In the court of Nanli Kingdom, Murong Ze is in a high position and is Nangong Ling's confidant general, and it is rumored that before Nangong Ling ascended the throne, the two were close friends, which also created Murong Ze's unshakable status.
Like such an important event, Nangong Ling is still used to entrusting the heavy responsibility to Murong Ze.
Several ministers all looked at Murong Ze with envy.
Prime Minister Li Cheng on the side glanced to the side, a touch of unwillingness crossed his eyes, and he stepped forward: "Your Majesty, this competition can also allow all princes to participate, I believe that all princes will be able to shine in the competition!" ”
Wang Shangshu behind him also hurriedly stepped forward and chimed in: "Yes, this pro-people move will definitely improve the enthusiasm of the contestants!" Besides, the princes are talented and intelligent, and they will definitely be able to come out on top! Glory for the royal family! ”
As a father, everyone likes to hear courtiers praise their sons, Nangong Ling was overjoyed: "Good! Then order all the princes to participate in it, and I believe that they will not disappoint me! ”
The crown prince Nangong Jiang on the side had his eyes flickering, and he secretly hated in his heart, among the adult princes, his talent was not the top, and he was naturally pressed by his own imperial brother everywhere, which made him very aggrieved, but he didn't expect these ministers to find trouble for him, and when he thought that he lost to the imperial brother in the game, he felt embarrassed when he thought about it.
After pondering for a moment, he thought about it: "Father, since he is a rising star, Erchen feels that this event can also allow the minister's children to actively participate, I believe that among them, there must be people with extraordinary spiritual power, and there is also a young talent under Erchen, with strong spiritual power, although he is a few years older than Huang'er, but his spiritual power level has reached the seventh order, and I believe that he will be able to stand out in the competition." ”
Nangong Jiang thought to himself, anyway, this event has already stirred him in, so he doesn't mind mixing the pool water a little more, this group of old horsemen wants to be alone, and there is no door!
"Good! Good! I believe that this competition will be able to select outstanding talents for our country! If we can cultivate it well, we will definitely be able to strengthen our country's strength! ”
"The Emperor Shengming!" The ministers pandered in unison.
After going down, Murong Ze came to the imperial study alone and asked to see Nangong Ling.
"Your Majesty, the minister has something to play!" Murong Ze respectfully bowed to Nangong Ling.
"Brother Ze, please get up quickly, it's just you and me here, you don't have to make this big gift." Nangong Ling stepped forward quickly and helped Murong Ze up in a form of support.
"Emperor Xie!" Murong Ze seemed to have unintentionally avoided Nangong Ling's hand.
This made Nangong Ling a little embarrassed, and asked as if unintentionally: "Aiqing came to me alone, what's the matter?" ”
"Shame on you! The minister came this time because of two things to show the emperor. ”
"Oh? Aiqing is like this, but it makes me very curious, Aiqing sits down first, and then I listen to you slowly! With that, he took Murong Ze aside and sat down.
"Don't dare!" Murong Ze was still as respectful as before.
Nangong Ling smiled: "Aiqing, don't you want me to stand and talk with you?" ”
Murong Ze, who heard this, had no choice but to step aside and sit down.
"Brother Ze, what do you have to do, you can tell me!" Nangong Ling looked like a good brother, which made Murong Ze feel like a stalk in his throat.
But when I thought of it, it was about my baby daughter, but I had to open my mouth.
"Your Majesty, the minister is here this time, firstly, for the little girl."
"Oh?" Nangong Ling picked up a cup of tea, took a sip, and waited for the following.
"Presumably the emperor has also heard that the minister's daughter Murong Qi has no talent for cultivation, so in this competition, the minister hopes that the emperor can make a will to exempt Murong Qi from the competition."
"It's because I'm not thinking about it, I'm going to make an order right away!" Nangong Ling, who looked apologetic, walked towards the desk as he spoke.
"Your Majesty, wait! The minister also wants to ask for a will for the courtier! After saying that, Murong Ze knelt down towards Nangong Ling again, after all, what he said next might anger Nangong Ling.
"Brother Ze, why are you! If you ask for anything, just tell me! You don't have to do it! ”
"The minister is panicked, and the minister only hopes that the emperor can dissolve the marriage contract between Murong Qi and the sixth prince."
Hearing this, Nangong Ling couldn't help but be angry.
"Murong Ze, what do you mean by this, isn't my emperor not worthy of your daughter!" Nangong Ling never thought that Murong Ze's words behind him would be like this, if he agreed to dissolve the marriage contract, it would be a heavy blow to the royal face, and it would not be a harm to the woman's reputation.
Faced with such a dilemma, how should you decide?
"The minister asks the emperor to answer! The minister knows that the little girl is not worthy of the six princes, although the little girl can't cultivate, but the minister still spoils her to the bone, if it is not a last resort, the minister does not want to make such a decision! Murong Ze also had a heartache on his face.
If it weren't for Xiao Qi's falling into the water, he might not have thought about it like this.
Thinking that at the beginning, when he was still unconscious for Xiao Qi, and when he was restless, he was noticed by Nangong Ling, and once he was questioned, Nangong Ling, who learned the cause, also sent a royal pharmacist to see Murong Qi and gave him many valuable medicinal materials, this move made Murong Ze grateful, and during this period, Nangong Lie, the sixth prince, did not even visit once.
From this point of view, Nangong Lie should have no intention of being for Murong Qi, and even when he saw Murong Ze's disdainful expression, he was not inclined to be more disgusted!
After thinking about it, he still made such a decision, after all, the temporary reputation, compared to Xiao Qi's lifelong happiness, he can't afford to gamble.
"Alas!" Nangong Ling let out a long sigh, he didn't know why Murong Qi couldn't cultivate, it stands to reason that one of his parents can cultivate, and the children born will have some talent for cultivation, but Brother Ze and Yun Ran, which is not a genius, but Murong Qi's strange phenomenon has subverted Yiqi's theory.
This doll kiss set since childhood, Nangong Ling didn't want to comment more, "This matter, let's talk about it later!" After all, Xiao Qi is still young now! Although emotional things can't be forced, but they can be cultivated, on weekdays, I let Lie'er have more contact with Xiao Qi, if Xiao Qi is an adult, or have no intention of Lie'er, when the time comes, I will dissolve the marriage contract again, do you think it's good? ”
In this matter, Nangong Ling was able to say such a thing, which was really a big step. Murong Ze didn't want to say anything more.
