As soon as the words fell, the ministers immediately exchanged ears and talked about it. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 There were those who were in favor and some who were against, and after discussing for a while, the privy counsellor Gao De came out and said, "Your Majesty, the minister thinks it is impossible. This Yang Wenzhong has seen that although he is a young hero, and he is also a general, many people in the army are also subordinates of his Yang family, and they can serve the public, but he is too young, only eighteen years old, how can he be entrusted with great military power. ”

This is also very reasonable, an eighteen-year-old young offspring has never been to the battlefield to fight, how can he give him so many soldiers at ease? Chai Yuan was still thinking about it, only to hear Guo Peng retort when he came out of class: "Why not? Yang Wenzhong is a young hero, and he just participated in the palace examination a few days ago, if nothing else, he is another martial artist in our dynasty. Chen is his chief examiner that day, and he knows that he is well versed in the battle formation, a steel gun, and has the courage of ten thousand people, and he really has the legacy of Yang Lao Linggong, and Huo Quai's eighteen-year-old attack on the Huns in the north, and made immortal achievements, why should Yang Wenzhong not? ”

Chai Yuan frowned, and his head immediately hurt again. These courtiers are arguing with each other at the bottom, which really makes them so indecided. When he was young, he was only good as an emperor, he could have 3,000 beauties, he could live in a deep palace compound, he could despise the creatures of the world, and he could manipulate the life and death of his subjects with one hand. I didn't expect to find out after I became the emperor that this emperor was completely a drudgery, not only did I get up early every day to attend the court meeting, but it was also rare to have half a minute of leisure after the dispersal of the dynasty. Whenever a foreign enemy invades, he can't eat, sleep, and suspense about the border war every day. When the war at the border was extinguished, there were floods and droughts in the country, and I had to worry that the people would not be able to eat and be displaced. Since becoming the emperor, in just 12 years, he has turned his head full of green silk into half-white hair, and even his face looks more than 20 years old. Ay! It's better to be a carefree prince, don't care about idle things, eat well, drink well, play well, live a comfortable life, and I don't know what this eighth brother is fighting for with himself? knew this was the case, and asked him to be an emperor and a free prince himself, but in the situation at that time, he couldn't go head-on! I was sighing in my heart, and suddenly heard the privy deputy envoy Wang Kan come out again: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that Yang Wenzhong can be competent after the general, but he is too young, in order to avoid accidents, it is better to ask General Hu Yande to be the commander, Yang Wenzhong to be the vanguard, and lead the army." ”

Chai Yuan looked at Wang Bo and asked, "Wang Aiqing, what is your opinion?" ”

Wang Bo came out of the class and said: "The minister seconded the proposal. ”

Chai Yuan thought for a while, and then said loudly: "I have made up my mind, I have made up my mind, I have named Hu Yande as the general of the expedition to the west, and Yang Wenzhong is the vanguard officer of the expedition to the west, commanding 50,000 elite soldiers, and going to the northwest to resist the enemy, Qin this!" ”

Seeing that the emperor had made a decision and that the measures were relatively effective, the ministers bowed down together and said, "Long live the saints!" ”

decided on the major events in the northwest, Chai Yuan breathed a sigh of relief and asked Wang Bodao: "Wang Aiqing, have you discharged the ranking of this palace test?" ”

Wang Bo bowed down and said: "Your Majesty, the ministers and the lords have reviewed it for several days, and now they have been listed, this is the list of the top ten, as well as their strategy test papers, please take a look at them." As he spoke, he took out a roll of paper from his sleeve and handed it to the eunuch beside Chai Yuan, who forwarded it to Chai Yuan.

Chai Yuan unfolded the strategy paper and looked at it in turn, and said: "This is the ranking of Qiuyu, martial arts and other subjects, just do it according to your Aiqing's wishes!" It's just that this scripture department, I want to choose Lin Yi as the top champion, I don't know what you Aiqing thinks? With that, he looked at the ministers with an inquiring gaze.

The Jinshi of the Great Zhou Dynasty are divided into three first, one and three, which are the champion, the list eye and the tanhua. A number of second-class scholars, born as Jinshi; The top three and a number of names, given the same Jinshi background. However, the treatment of these top three jinshi is much worse, and they are generally sent out to be county officials, and no matter how good they are, it is difficult to climb to a high position. The treatment of the second-class jinshi is very different, and they will be reused by the imperial court, and some officials of key departments in the capital are served by them. As for the three first-class ones, they are the supreme glory of themselves and the entire family, and they will boast about their officials in Bianjing City for three days, and then directly enter the Hanlin Academy, and after a few years of training, they will enter the cabinet, and soon grow into a powerful court official. Therefore, this Jiajin Shi is extremely respected by the world. If Lin Yi becomes the champion, there is no doubt that the power on the emperor's side will be stronger, and the Lin family will be more prosperous. This is something that the Eight Princes and his party do not want to see no matter what.

The muscles on the eighth prince's face trembled slightly, and he and Wang Kan glanced at each other, and a trace of worry flashed in their eyes. And Lin Yongkang, who was standing below, opened his mouth wide, turned his head to look at Chai Yuan fixedly, and his breathing was a little short. He has already won the champion, if his son wins the champion again, which will be a good story in the Great Zhou Dynasty, and his Lin family will be more prosperous. He couldn't believe it was true.

Seeing that Chai Yuan had decided to make an order and personally designated Lin Yi as the first champion, the Eight Sages King was busy giving his henchman Li Song, the secretary of the household department, a look, and asked him to come forward to stop it. Li Song nodded in understanding, and hurriedly went out of class and said loudly: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that it must not be." ”

Chai Yuan's face immediately sank, and he asked angrily, "Why not?" Lin Yi's talent is the best in the world, when will there be a bright moon, no one in the world can beat it, if he doesn't be the champion, who can be the champion? ”

Li Song knelt down and kowtowed, and said with a sincere face: "Your Majesty, Lin Yi is a student of Enyin, and he has not participated in the real imperial examination, and I am the champion of the Tai student who has not heard of Enyin, if it is spread out, I am afraid that it will cause dissatisfaction among the poor students in the world, and it will also give a bad start to future generations, so the minister thinks that Lin Yi should not be among the first." ”

There is some truth in this, if this case is opened, it is guaranteed that there will be powerful ministers in the court to follow suit and take their son as the first champion, and it will not be easy to do it at that time!

Chai Yuan stood up for a while and said, "Okay! Let's take Lin Yi as the seventh place in the second class! As he spoke, he put the roster on the dragon book case, and said loudly: "Ladies and gentlemen, if there is nothing else, let's disperse today!" As he spoke, he yawned heavily.

Wang Kan hurriedly made a look, and Chen Ming, the servant of the ministry, came out of class and said: "Your Majesty, the minister wants to impeach one person above the court today, it is Yang Jichang, the servant of the household department." This person talks about the government in vain, talks about the country, and forces his daughter to remarry, he is really the scum among the scholars of our dynasty, and we are loyal ministers, ashamed to be together! Speaking of this, Chen Ming put on a righteous and awe-inspiring appearance.

Yang Jichang's face turned red, and he looked at Chen Ming with anger, he has always been good friends with him, and he is known as a brother on weekdays, but he didn't expect that he would take the lead in jumping out to attack himself today, which is really shameless. As soon as Chen Ming's voice fell, several ministers of the Eight Princes and the party jumped out to second. loudly accusing Yang Jichang of his crimes, he is about to be called a heinous villain!

"I'm your man!" Yang Jichang peeked at the Eighth Prince, only to see him staring blankly ahead, not looking at himself, obviously these people were instructed by him, and the Eight Sages had abandoned him. At that moment, he swallowed a mouthful of saliva in pain and slowly closed his eyes.

Chai Yuan looked at the indignant ministers in the palace in surprise, and was a little surprised, Yang Jichang has always licked the eighth prince's *** and couldn't get along with himself, but he didn't expect that the eighth prince abandoned him with his own hands today. In this case, why might as well make their enmity deeper, so that the ministers can see the ugly face of the eighth prince. Thinking of this, Chai Yuan turned his head and asked, "Eighth brother, what do you mean?" ”

The eighth prince said lightly: "Your Majesty, there are laws in the imperial court, a villain like Lord Yang, a traitor, everything should be done according to the laws of the Great Zhou!" This is even more ruthless, and he actually wants to label Yang Jichang as a traitor, arrest him in prison, and completely destroy his political future.

Chai Yuan nodded, and a hint of joy appeared on his face. This Yang Jichang has troubled himself for a long time, and this time he can finally get rid of him, so he will be sent far away! was about to deliver the decree, but saw Wang Bo give him a few glances, signaling him not to agree, so he swallowed back the words that came to his mouth, and said with a smile: "The lord must have read the Bianjing Daily yesterday, and he felt it!" Lord Yang has lived in the court for a long time, and he has always been square, how could he become a traitor overnight? He just had a different political opinion, and he was not charged with any major crimes. So be it! demoted Yang Jichang to the prefect of Jiangzhou, and took office on the same day! ”

This is already extraordinarily generous, you have blocked the emperor many times before, but this time you are just degraded to the prefect of any party, and you are not arrested in prison, which can be described as the emperor's grace! Yang Jichang was grateful, and hurriedly knelt down and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness!" Weichen must be broken to repay the emperor's kindness! After that, with a "bang", his head slammed on the floor tiles of the hall, and when he raised his head, his face was full of tears, and his voice was almost choked.

Chai Yuan glanced at Yang Jichang, waved his hand, and said, "Disperse!" We'll talk about it tomorrow. With that, he turned around and drove back to the palace.

The Eight Sages King walked out of the hall with his head held high, and when he passed by Yang Jichang's side, he didn't look at him. And Wang Kan glanced coldly at Yang Jichang, who was still kneeling on the ground, and walked away with his colleagues with a flick of his long sleeves. Yang Jichang knelt on the ground, his face was red and white, angry and angry, and his eyes were staring at the back of the Eighth Lord and the others leaving, but they were red.

"Let's go! In-laws! This loyal traitor above the court has never been judged by which of your great truths? You're a little too nerdy! Lin Yongkang walked over, stretched out his hand to help Yang Jichang up, and comforted him.

Yang Jichang let out a long sigh and walked side by side with Lin Yongkang, and his figure gradually disappeared on the avenue outside the main hall.
