Chapter Seventy-Two: Questions and Answers in the Palace

The fourth watch got up to bathe, and the fifth watch went out in full suit, and Ying Xiaosi felt that his eyelids were heavier than a thousand pounds, if it weren't for the post officer to help take care of it and explain the matters, Ying Xiaosi would definitely have slept until he woke up naturally, and properly delayed the time of the court. Looking at the blue sky, Ying Xiaosi stretched his waist lazily in front of the gate of the palace, and then walked into the side hall inside under the vigilant eyes of the guards on both sides.

But when he got inside, he didn't know that he had no official position, so he couldn't go to the palace with the ministers, and if he wanted to see King Yan, he had to stay in the side hall honestly and listen to the announcement, as for when he could be called, it was uncertain.

"Damn, I knew this earlier, so I'll come back after breakfast!"

Seeing that the sky was bright outside, Ying Xiaosi felt that his stomach was getting more and more hungry, and he couldn't call him in a short time, so he simply sat down, picked up a piece of pastry in the fruit bowl on the table and threw it into his mouth. The little eunuch waiting next to him rolled his eyes, when had they ever seen such a bold master, when did they see that King Yan still had the heart to eat pastries here, this win Xiaosi is really unique.

When Ying Xiaosi was about to start on the fourth plate of pastries, the shouts of Xuan Jian came from far away in the hall, and the obedient eunuch at the door hurriedly came in and said: "Lord Win, you have already entered the palace, please hurry up and enter the palace." ”

Finally called me, Ying Xiaosi wiped the pastry residue on his mouth, straightened his clothes, got up and went out, and walked along the side auxiliary road towards the direction of the main hall.

But before I got to the door, I heard a commotion from inside, which I knew was discussing state affairs, and I didn't know that I thought I had walked to the vegetable market!

"The king, although it is said that this win Xiaosi has a meritorious role in quelling the rebellion, but after all, he is a white body, and he is directly placed in such a high position, I am afraid that he will not be able to convince the public, and the counterinsurgency is not done by him alone, and it is not appropriate to put all the credit on him, and the old minister thinks that this person is not seen!"

"Ministers seconded the ......"

Yoh? Who is this! Don't say it sooner or later, just wait for him to win the fourth year and go in quickly, this Ma Wei is too obvious!

"King Qiyu, win the little four and ask to see you!"

The little eunuch who was walking in front stopped at the door and shouted in a bright voice. As soon as these words came out, the originally noisy hall suddenly fell silent, and everyone's eyes were focused on the entrance of the hall, where there was envy, jealousy, curiosity, and kindness.......

Kind?! Ying Xiaosi was shocked, and looked at that gaze, only to see a soft seat set up under the throne, and a smiling fat old man was smiling at Ying Xiaosi, the uncle-like gaze next door made people's hearts warm, but looking at his court clothes made people's hearts cold!

I saw that the old man was wearing a goose-winged purple gauze hat, a blue-scaled monster python robe, a palm-wide gold silk belt tied around his waist, and a pair of tiger-mouthed cloud swallowing boots on his feet. This big Yan has a total of four grandfathers, three of them are the brothers of King Yan, these three usually don't see each other at all, not that they have a big shelf, but King Yan takes care of them and lets them "be raised". Then the remaining one is Zhu Xi, the Duke of Zhu who is sitting on top of this hall!

The sharp-edged Zhu Wei is not afraid of winning Xiaosi, and Cheng Xu, who has a knife hidden in his smile, is not afraid of winning Xiaosi, but when he saw this chubby Zhu Xi, Ying Xiaosi was alarmed in his heart, and he was on guard against this fat old man, for no reason, it was purely an instinct honed on the line of life and death for a long time.

"Bold! When I saw the king, I dared not kneel! Are you going to rebel if you win the little four! ”

Zhu Wei next to him saw Ying Xiaosi standing in the hall in a daze, and couldn't help but feel happy in his heart, saying that this soil bun had never seen the world in the end, and when he entered the hall, he was full of stupidity without kneeling and not giving courtesy, just right, look at me and treat him a big disrespectful crime!

Ji Wuwu on the throne was also observing Ying Xiaosi at the moment, and when he saw Zhu Wei's trouble, he just wanted to see what this Ying Xiaosi was capable of, so he simply didn't say much, and looked at Ying Xiaosi's reaction with a serious face.

"If you don't kneel, you want to rebel, so are all those who kneel are loyal ministers?"

Win Xiaosi naturally wouldn't be stopped by Zhu Wei, so he directly took over the conversation and asked: "I'm afraid that the anti-kings of all dynasties have knelt down, but if they really rebel, they really didn't delay at all!" For example, if you Zhu Wei knelt on the king in this palace today, and you will rebel tomorrow, can this also be said that you are a loyal minister? ”

Win Xiaosi shook his sleeves and hugged his fists at Ji Wuwu and said: "The grass people win Xiaosi has seen the king, the villain has never read a book, his knowledge is shallow, it is really difficult to wait for the elegant hall, but the villain also knows that the respect for the king is respect in the heart, just by mouth, it is useless to listen to it." ”

really let Wei San say, this kid really doesn't suffer at all!

Ji Wuwu has sat on the throne of Yan for many years, and he is the first to dare to do this kind of etiquette to him, and he is also recognized a lot of words for winning Xiaosi, but he has to do enough to make a show, Ji Wuwu didn't want Zhu Xi, the old fox, to see the clues, so his eyes seemed to inadvertently sweep Cheng Xu, Cheng Xu understood, and immediately came out and said: "Just now Grandpa Guo also said, this Ying Xiaosi is a white body, and it is already a great grace to give him an official body, as for the position of the city lord...... Please also think twice. ”

"Ji Chong, the person was recommended by you, so you can talk about it too."

Ji Zhong, who had never said a word, listened to Ji Wuwu's question, and then stepped out of the ranks, and said respectfully: "The talents recommended by the ministers are all based on the overall situation of the country, and there is no suspicion of cronyism. If it is really proved that Ying Xiaosi is not qualified for the position of city lord, he will also retreat in the future. ”

Damn, no one told me I had to take an exam when I came?!

After listening to Ji Chong's words, winning Xiaosi is a big head for a while, if you want to say that he wins the weakness of big officials, then the exam is definitely the first! I thought that it was because he didn't like to go to school and didn't want to take the exam, so he won the junior four to become a soldier, but I didn't expect that this was all in another world, and he still didn't escape the fate of the exam!

"Well, let's compare it, the candidates for the lord of the Lion City this time, a total of three people were elected, Zhu Wei, Cheng Xu and the winner of the four, the lord of the city is not easy to do, it must be a person who is proficient in politics, finance, and the military, and the following three questions will come out, the three of you will answer immediately, and the winner will be the lord of the Lion City!"

"1. Each of the three of you has a city, not far from each other, and if you are faced with famine, how should you deal with it?"

"Second, if a Western caravan arrives in your three cities, how are you going to keep them and make the most of them?"

"Three, assuming that the three of you have the same number of soldiers, how can you destroy the other two cities?"
