Bidding farewell to Zhao Yan's two brothers and sisters, Wang Xu returned to the palace.

"Your Majesty, there is an urgent report from Xipingguan."

"Take a look."

Zhang Meng handed over a notebook, and Wang Xu opened it.

A few days ago, Lei Yan attacked without authorization, led 50,000 iron cavalry to attack the camp of the snowy people, took over the ambush, and most of the 50,000 elites were lost, and only led more than 10,000 cavalry to flee back to Xiping Pass.

Liao Yun had already denied the sneak attack on the people in the snowy region, but Lei Yan insisted on going his own way and was finally ambushed.

However, in the fold, Liao Yun also interceded for Lei Yan, although Lei Yan lost tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, but he fought bloodily with the people of the snow region, and also killed many people on the other side.

"Yes, immediately draft the holy decree, from now on, all the armies in Xipingguan will be commanded by Liao Yun and commanded in a unified manner, as for Lei Yan, he will be allowed to make meritorious contributions to his crimes, and he must not act without authorization!"

"No."

In fact, Wang Xu had long wanted Liao Yun to lead the army of Xipingguan, but considering Lei Yan's great military exploits and his official position was higher than Liao Yun's, it was probably inappropriate to do so, and now, just right, Lei Yan didn't have anything to say.

As Han Shushu said, the reason why the people in the snow region withdrew from the army was to lure Liao Yun and others to take the bait, and let Liao Yun and others go out to fight in the field, and it was because of this that Lei Yan fell into the plan.

It can be seen that Ye Minzhong is also an extremely difficult person to deal with.

.............

At this time in Nandu.

In the high-ranking mansion, two officials were reporting to him.

"Prime Minister, a military report came from Xipingguan, Lei Yan lost 30,000 iron horsemen, and Ye Minzhong won a big victory."

Gao Quan smiled: "Okay, it's good to win." ”

"However, only 30,000 people are not enough to shake the three armies, Ye Minzhong still needs to continue to work hard."

An official said: "Ye Minzhong sent someone to come again, saying that he wants to buy a large number of secret weapons, how should we deal with it?" ”

"Sell. Sell him all the inventory we have now, and let them fight Wang Xujun in a decisive battle! ”

High power.

The official thought for a moment: "If we sell all the secret weapons to Ye Minzhong, and Wang Xu or the Eastern Imperial Court leads an army to attack, what should we do?" ”

Gao Quan smiled and snorted: "The Eastern Capital Imperial Court." It's like the twilight of the sunset, we are dying, how dare we come and go against us, as for Wang Xu, if we sell all the secret weapons to Ye Minzhong. Does he still care about us? Ye Minzhong is frozen, Wang Xu has no time to care! ”

At this time, the two officials suddenly realized that the prime minister was scheming.

There are two benefits to doing this.

First, you can take this opportunity to make a large amount of national disaster and make a thorough economic development of the southern capital, you must know that the most lacking thing in the current southern capital is money, as well as food.

Second, use the hands of Ye Minzhong to eliminate Wang Xu. Oh no, it can't be said to be annihilation, because the people of the Snow Land don't have that much ability, but at least it will weaken Wang Xu's strength and make it impossible for him to support troops against the southern capital.

In this way, in just a few years, the Holy Dynasty is weak, and the southern capital is strong, one is prosperous and one is declining, and then there will be a decisive battle. How it will win, only God knows.

...........

Wang Xu didn't know about this, everything was done in secret. Not even the brocade guards detected it.

For a long time in the following years, Xipingguan was in a state of truce, Ye Minzhong calmed down again, and Liao Yun also adhered to his principles, saying that he would not go out of the city after breaking the sky, but would stay on the city wall. Every day is a level 1 defense state.

Imperial capital.

On this day, Wang Xu took Zhang Xue and Ye Minyan to the scientific research institute together, today is the day of the re-examination, Wang Xu plans to serve as the chief examiner in person, this kind of thing is the first time it has appeared, it is actually the emperor's main exam, then these students are honored again, once they are selected, it is the protégé of the Son of Heaven.

Getting this news, all the candidates were extremely excited, especially Zhao Jinyuan, he finally saw hope, if he was appreciated by the emperor, it was very likely to soar to the sky!

Early in the morning, all the students who participated in the scientific examination came to the gate of the scientific examination institute and waited for the inspection.

Half an hour later, Wang Xu's imperial car arrived, Zhang Xue and Ye Minyan came together, both of them were sitting in the imperial car, unusually majestic.

Today, Zhao Jinyuan came with his sister Zhao Yan, and when he saw the emperor's guard of honor coming slowly, the two of them, like other students, bowed to the ground, not daring to be a little disrespectful, but Zhao Yan was curious, and he wanted to see what the world-famous emperor was like, so she secretly raised her head.

At this glance, he recognized it: "Hey, isn't that the prince?" ”

"Sister, don't be rude, kneel down."

Zhao Jinyuan was startled and hurriedly grabbed Zhao Yan.

"Brother, it's really Wang Gongzi, and he has eaten at our house."

Hearing this, Zhao Jinyuan also looked up, and suddenly, his head was stunned, Zhao Yan was right, it was indeed the one called Wang Jiu, Wang Jiu Wang Jiu... Secretly read two sentences, Zhao Jinyuan suddenly realized, remove half of the word Xu, isn't it Wang Jiu, it seems that this person is really the emperor Wang Xu.

After the mountain shouted long live, everyone got up.

Wang Xu took Zhang Xue and Ye Minyan to Zhao Jinyuan: "Brother Zhao, you have to take the exam well, I hope you are close to the top three, and then you will be able to realize your wishes, you can rest assured, today is the main exam I will personally take the exam, and there will be no more problems like last time." ”

"Grass people Zhao Jinyuan will obey the holy decree and will not disappoint His Majesty." Zhao Jinyuan was overjoyed in his heart, it was a great honor to be so favored by the emperor.

It seems that his hard life is over, as long as he is outstanding in this scientific examination, he will be prosperous in the future.

Ye Minyan took Zhao Yan's hand: "Sister Yan'er, I've been looking for you for the past few days, I have something good to give you, you come with me." ”

As he spoke, he pulled Zhao Yan aside, and before leaving, Zhao Yan looked at Wang Xu intentionally or unintentionally, and finally withdrew his gaze.

Wang Xu pouted, he didn't have to think about it to know that Ye Min Yan wanted to give the big ingot to Zhao Yan, but with Wang Xu's sister Zhao Yan, the land reclamation would not be accepted, so Ye Min Yan was in vain.

"Candidates enter the exam room."

Su Zhe Yulin Army Han, Wang Xu was the first to enter, and after that, all the candidates began to follow, and accepted the Yulin Army's inspection, this time, there was no one who cheated, all of them were honest exams.

Wang Xu, just like Jia Hui before, sat in the courtyard, waiting for the candidates to answer the papers.

........

Two hours later, the exam was over, Wang Xu asked people to put away the papers, and then took them to the imperial study, during which they never left Wang Xu's sight, so it must be safe, and no one will cheat!

There is also no chance of cheating. (To be continued.) )
