Chu Huan really felt that the scene in front of him was a little unbelievable, before seeing the emperor, Chu Huan knew that this emperor had destroyed countless countries in the south and the north, and after the founding of the country, he worked hard to create a prosperous world, such an emperor must be a wise and shrewd person, Lord Lin's ridiculous words, the vulgar woman and fool may believe it, but how can His Majesty the Emperor, who is extremely shrewd, believe it?

However, the emperor's happy expression obviously believed Lord Lin's absurd words.

The emperor believes it, the five or six important ministers next to him are all the heads of the empire, none of these people raised objections, they all echoed and worshipped, for such a moment, Chu Huan actually felt sad for this empire.

The emperor was very happy and said: "Lin Yuanfang, your mother can dream of me, it seems that she is indeed a blessed person, and she will give her a hundred taels of gold and five hundred horses of silk, and I will personally write a word to give it to her when I turn around!" ”

Lin Yuanfang was grateful and hurriedly thanked him.

The emperor looked at Chu Huan happily and said, "Chu Huan, I summoned you today, mainly to ask you, what kind of reward do you want for so many merits?" What kind of official do you want to be, tell me about it. ”

Chu Huan was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said: "The villain doesn't dare!" ”

He is not called a "little minister" at this time, so as not to talk nonsense about Zhou Nayan next to him.

The emperor looked at Lin Yuanfang and asked with a smile: "Lin Aiqing, you also know Chu Huan's merits, you are the secretary of the ministry, according to your opinion, what kind of official should you give Chu Huan?" ”

Only then did Chu Huan understand that the original sycophant Lin Master turned out to be the secretary of the ministry, you must know that the ministry is the head of the six departments, and the book is the head of the ministry of officials, this Lin Yuanfang is really a powerful figure.

Lin Yuanfang hurriedly said: "Holy Lord, the minister thinks that what Zhenjun said is extremely true, Chu Huan has made such a great contribution, Zhenjun has always been rewarded for meritorious service, Chu Huan's merit is so great, it must be rewarded." Such a talent, if it can't be reused, it is really a talent, but since Zhenjun summoned Chu Huan to come, he already has a plan in his heart, and everything is still up to Zhenjun, Zhenjun Shengming, who has always used people only to use talents, will definitely give Chu Huan the best official position! ”

Chu Huan was amused, this Lin Yuanfang said a lot of things, but in the end, he didn't say anything, it was nothing more than taking the opportunity to shoot the emperor's horse again.

The emperor stroked his beard and looked at that Zhou Nayan and asked, "Zhou Aiqing, what do you think?" ”

Zhou Nayan asked respectfully: "I don't know if Zhenjun wants to make Chu Huan a Beijing official, or will he be sent to a local appointment?" ”

The emperor said: "For the time being, I will stay in the capital to run errands, and if I am capable, I will have another will." ”

Zhou Nayan asked again: "If it is a Beijing official, which yamen is Zhenjun going to let him enter?" ”

"Chu Huan saved the King of Qi and pacified the Tongzhou Army, and Liu Yao's thief was also eliminated by Chu Huan, which cured my heart disease." The emperor said slowly: "Do you think that with these few credits, where should Chu Huan go to the yamen?" ”

Zhou Nayan said solemnly: "Since the founding of the Great Qin, no matter the official and military generals, they must be assessed and selected, so that talented people can be selected to serve the country. After a pause, he glanced at Chu Huan and continued: "Zhenjun opened a scientific examination, established a martial arts selection, and was extremely wise, which is to give people in the world a fair opportunity to enter the ranks, encourage people to study and glorify the lintel, and encourage martial artists to practice martial arts to glorify their families." Although Chu Huan has made meritorious contributions, but now he is only a Wu Jingwei, no official and no position, if he is only slightly promoted in Wu Jingwei, it will be excusable, but if he wants to be named an important position, it is unreasonable, and he is afraid of being criticized. ”

Lin Yuanfang immediately said: "Zhou Nayan, the official doesn't understand the meaning of what you said. Chu Huan has made several great contributions, and every one of them is a great achievement, such a talent, it is reasonable for the true monarch to give him an official position, who dares to criticize it? ”

Zhou Nayan said lightly: "Lin Shangshu, having said that, some things are not seen this way. Chu Huan's merits are true, but except for a few people, who really knows? Even if it is spread out, at Chu Huan's age, he has made several great achievements in a row, and not many people may believe it. ”

Lin Yuanfang arched his hand to the emperor before he said: "Who dares not believe the words of the true monarch Jinyu?" ”

Zhou Nayan shook his head and said: "Lin Shangshu, the mouth of the defense is more important than the defense of Sichuan, the words of the true monarch are naturally the words of Jiuding, but the legal system of the imperial court can never be abolished, every regulation and constitution of the imperial court is the hard work of the true monarch, Chu Huan will be awarded the official without assessment, this is a bad charter, and there are always people who want to criticize it in their hearts." ”

Lin Yuanfang sneered: "I'm afraid that the one who criticizes in my heart is Lord Zhou!" ”

"Lin Shangshu said this, and the official has nothing to say." Zhou Nayan said lightly: "Chu Huan will be awarded an official without an assessment, and this official will naturally not be comfortable." As a subordinate of the province, what this official does is to try his best to maintain every rule set by the true monarch, if Lin Shangshu is saying that it is wrong to uphold the laws set by the true monarch, then this official has nothing to say. ”

Lin Yuanfang's face changed color slightly, and he hurriedly said to the emperor: "True monarch, the minister is not ......!" ”

The Emperor shook his head, signaling that he did not take it to heart.

Lin Yuanfang saw that the emperor had no intention of blaming, and was full of confidence, and said: "Lord Zhou, although Chu Huan has not passed the assessment, he has repeatedly performed miraculous feats, and the true monarch has a good eye for people. ”

"The state has national laws, and the family has family rules, how can the national system be easily destroyed?" Zhou Nayan bit his heart: "In other words, if Chu Huan is really a genius, then he is not afraid of the assessment at all!" ”

The emperor stroked his white beard and asked Zhou Nayan, "Zhou Aiqing, what do you mean?" ”

"What the minister means, if the true monarch wants to reward Chu Huan, he will go through the assessment first, if Chu Huan can really pass the assessment, it will not be too late for the true monarch to reward again." Zhou Nayan replied.

The emperor stroked his beard and asked, "Then how do you think you should take the test?" ”

"Chu Huan, this official asked you, are you a professional or a martial artist?" Zhou Nayan looked at Chu Huan.

Lin Yuanfang, the secretary of the ministry, hurriedly said: "He is naturally a martial artist!" ”

The emperor picked up Chu Huan's dossier and said with a smile: "Don't you know that when Chu Huan was in Yunshan Mansion, he once wrote forty-five poems in one go, and thirty-nine of them were flowers. ”

As soon as the emperor's words came out, several important ministers were surprised.

The long-faced official had already said, "Could it be that this Chu Huan is the same Chu Huan who is rumored to have composed forty-five poems in a row?" ”

The emperor bowed his head and said, "Exactly! ”

Suddenly, the ministers looked at Chu Huan, and saw that Chu Huan was very young and looked quite heroic, but there was no trace of gas at all, and several people showed suspicion in their eyes.

Zhou Nayan asked Chu Huan: "Chu Huan, do you really know poetry and books?" What are you best at? ”

Chu Huan secretly complained in his heart, he had heard of these things in the subset of scripture and history, but where was he good at it, looking at Zhou Nayan's posture, it seemed that he was going to test it on the spot, if this was really the case, the other party asked about the chapter, he didn't know anything, the bull's head was not in the horse's mouth, it was very bad, and immediately said: "Don't dare, the villain doesn't know the subset of scripture and history, it's just ...... It's just a matter of knowing a few big characters. I thought about how to explain that I had written dozens of poems if I only knew a few big characters, and immediately continued: "I like the poetry and songs of my predecessors on weekdays, so I ...... So sometimes when I get the mood, I chant indiscriminately. ”

Zhou Nayan was originally very suspicious of Chu Huancai, but when he heard Chu Huan say this, he had a trace of goodwill, to his ears, Chu Huan seemed to be modest, and said with a smile: "If you recite at will, you can get flowers for thirty-nine poems, which is not simple." What else would you do but chant poetry? Can you count the scriptures? ”

"Reckoning?" Chu Huan was stunned, but quickly reacted, this arithmetic is the mathematics of later generations, if you really want to talk about it, he really has some attainments in mathematics, and said modestly: "Slightly understand!" ”

Zhou Nayan smiled and said respectfully to the emperor: "True Monarch, if this is the case, True Monarch can assess Chu Huan on both sides of the martial arts, and no matter which one can pass, he can be rewarded with an official position." ”

The emperor said: "I will enter the customs tonight, and I will leave the customs in five days, it just so happens that the queen may not have accompanied the queen for a long time, and after five days, I will be in the imperial garden to assess Chu Huan, and I will watch it with the queen at that time, which can be regarded as relieving the queen's boredom." ”

All the ministers said in unison: "Holy Wisdom! ”

The emperor was about to say something, when he suddenly heard a sound of footsteps, the emperor frowned, but saw a eunuch trotting over, very hurried, holding a fold in his hand, kneeling down under the jade platform, and respectfully: "Zhenjun, Shangshu Province sent a sharp fold, claiming to be from the northwest, but it was an excerpt played by General Yu!" ”

The ministers suddenly changed color, and the emperor also frowned, but Chu Huan was also slightly surprised in his heart, this excerpt was an emergency twist from the northwest, it can be seen that the matter is very urgent, could it be that the Xiliang people have some move to start attacking?

A eunuch had already stepped forward to take the fold and presented it to the emperor, the emperor took out the fold, frowned and glanced at it a few times, his brows gradually stretched, and soon, his face showed a look of joy, and he suddenly laughed, and said: "Good, good, good!" Seeing this scene, everyone's nervous mood suddenly relaxed, and then they were all full of doubts, not knowing what was written in the fold, could it be that Yu Buqu won the battle in the northwest?

The emperor threw the fold to Lin Yuanfang, Lin Yuanfang picked it up on his stomach, looked at it a few times, immediately knelt on the ground, and said in a loud voice: "Zhenjun Shenwu, the Great Qin State is full of power, and the thieves of the Western Liang Dynasty are difficult to resist the power of my Heavenly Empire, and finally sue for peace, long live my emperor, long live, long live!" He lay on the ground and prostrated repeatedly.

Everyone was stunned, and then they understood that what was played was the Xiliang people who were preparing to negotiate peace.

Knowing this, everyone suddenly showed joy, since the death of General Feng, in the past nearly a year, the northwest has been lost again and again, the Northwest Army retreated again and again, the Xiliang people are pressing step by step, the situation can be said to be extremely critical, and it is precisely because of the crisis in the northwest that Yu Buqu dragged the old body to the northwest, but no one dared to guarantee that Yu Buqu could really block the Xiliang Iron Cavalry.

Although the Western Liang people stopped attacking for a while, the military situation in the northwest has not relaxed, and the imperial court was also extremely nervous for a while, but no one thought that such a twist and turn would suddenly be sent from the front.

The emperor was very pleased, and said in a loud voice: "Old General Yu should be old and strong, it has only been a few months, he has reversed the situation in one fell swoop, the Xiliang people took the initiative to sue for peace, hahaha, I want to greatly reward Yu Buyielding, my general, after all, did not let me lose face ......!" ”

"Zhenjun is strategic, wise and martial, the Great Qin Land is vast and rich, strong and unmatched, General Yu Lao used his life on the front line, and the clown of Xiliang was vulnerable, and took the initiative to seek peace, which was caused by Zhenjun Shenwu." Lin Yuanfang was busy patting his ass: "Great Qin is strong, powerful all over the world, the ministers meet this prosperous world, there is this holy monarch, it is really the blessing of the ministers, long live the Martial Emperor, long live long live!" ”

Zhou Nayan frowned, and couldn't help but say: "Zhenjun, the people of Xiliang suddenly sued for peace, is it ...... Is there any trickery? ”

The emperor's brows tightened, his eyes showed fierceness, and Lin Yuanfang immediately reprimanded: "Zhou Ting, what did you say?" ”

"The minister lost his words!" As soon as Zhou Nayan Zhou Ting's words came out, he also knew that his words were very disturbing, and hurriedly knelt down to ask for sin: "I beg the true monarch to forgive the sin!" ”

The emperor said lightly: "The Xiliang people took the initiative to sue for peace, and they will soon send a peace mission to Beijing." He said to the long-faced official: "Ma Hong, you are preparing to greet the Xiliang delegation with the Ministry of Rites and Honglu Temple, the people of Xiliang do not know the height of the sky, and they are guilty of my northwest, and now the mission is coming to the court, I want them to see the prosperous atmosphere of my Great Qin, and let them never dare to set foot in my Great Qin land again!" ”

Ma Hong, a long-faced official, immediately said: "The minister obeys the order!" ”

The emperor looked at Zhou Ting and said, "Zhou Ting, you send someone to prepare, and after five days, the Imperial Garden will assess Chu Huan." Said to Chu Huan: "Chu Huan, don't let me down!" He also said: "The official position will be rewarded after the assessment, but I will give you a hundred taels of gold and a hundred horses of silk today!" ”

Chu Huan knelt down to thank him, and then the general servant Shui Gonggong led him out of the palace.
