Han Ziyou had something to say a few more words to the two of them, and then quit the house.

Han Luoxi and Qi Shi'an returned to Qi Shi'an's study.

Qi Shi'an ordered someone to give Han Luoxi a cup of steaming chrysanthemum tea, saying that it was for Han Luoxi's defeat.

"Why is Luoxi so angry today?" Qi Shi'an smiled and handed the tea brought by the maid to Han Luoxi.

"Hmmm! I don't know why, Keisai, I find that some things I remember are getting clearer, but some things are getting more and more blurred. Han Luoxi took a sip of tea, his mind calmed down a little, and he wondered.

"Really?" Qi Shi'an restrained his smile, and he stared at Han Luoxi, as if he wanted to see something from her face.

Han Luoxi was a little overwhelmed by his staring, she stepped forward and said with Qi Shi'an's eyes covered, "Lord Wang, these big eyes make me have nightmares at night." ”

Qi Shi'an regained his smile, "Didn't you listen to Zi You, you are so dissatisfied, how envious the women of Daqi are, there is a dashing prince who accompanies you every day, and you still dislike it." ”

Saying that, he still pretended to shake his head and sighed: "It's just that I don't know the blessing in the blessing!"

Han Luoxi looked at him, "Poof!" Laughing, Qi Shi'an saw Han Luoxi's happy appearance, and let out a long breath, his smile froze on his face, and there was a faint trace of melancholy in his eyes.

On this day, the assessment of the princes of each other was in full swing.

Yu Hefeng is old and has many princes, and there are about 30 people who can participate in this assessment.

Yu Chengyang is his seventeenth son, and he is not at all conspicuous.

Some people didn't know that Yu Chengyang had been crowned the crown prince, and they didn't pay attention to him.

The eldest prince, Yu Qingchen, is confident, he sees himself as high and has no dust.

He had heard about Yu Chengyang, and he heard that his father made him the prince with a finger of his hand, and he did not make an order or make any courtesy.

It's just a joke.

He has always looked at Yu Chengyang's position as the crown prince.

Because as the crown prince, he was going to be sent to Shouma to be the crown prince, so over the years, no prince was willing to compete with Yu Chengyang for this position.

This year, because Han Luoxi wanted to protect Yu Chengyang, Shou Ma did not mention the matter of asking for hostages, and the crown prince became the object of attention of these princes again.

Countless courtiers wrote to Yu Hefeng, proposing to replace the crown prince.

Some directly recommend the eldest prince Yu Qingchen.

But the strange thing is that Yu Hefeng didn't seem to hear or see these folds, so he turned a deaf ear, didn't give Yu Cheng a proper name, and didn't abolish him.

finally received an invitation from Dongfang Yu, the prince of Daqi, and had to send the prince to attend the wedding banquet.

Yu Hefeng came up with such a method, exam!

When the princes heard about it, they were eager to try.

No one takes the inconspicuous Yu Chengyang seriously, and everyone feels that they are better than him.

Yu Chengyang was the last to enter the examination room, and there was only one position left in the examination room next to the examiner.

Yu Chengyang lowered his head and sat down, and the examiner handed out a piece of paper to each prince, and the examiner said, "Today we want to test the princes' understanding of the mutual defense array, and the princes don't have to be confined to the theories in the books. ”

As he spoke, he looked at the princes in the examination room, and then said, "After you finish the exam, I will invite the chief soldier to come and see everyone's suggestions, and if which one can be adopted, then he will become His Royal Highness the Prince." ”

Yu Chengyang listened, picked up the pen to dip the ink, thought about it for a while, and began to write hard.

The venue immediately fell silent, only the sound of some writing, the eldest prince Yu Qingchen strategized and wrote very smoothly.

The examiner looked at the prince who bowed his head and nodded.

At this time, Yu Hefeng walked in quietly, and the examiner was just about to salute, but Yu Hefeng hurriedly waved his hand, signaling him not to make a sound.

He quietly stood behind the princes, watching them write their opinions one by one.

Yu Hefeng smugly swept his white beard and held a hand behind his back.

The exam was finally over, and at this time, the general soldier walked in, and when he saw Yu Hefeng, he was about to salute, but he was also stopped by Yu Hefeng.

The examiner collected the exam papers and handed them to Cheng Jian, who sat in front of him and opened them one by one to look at them carefully.

Yu Hefeng walked over to read his sons' exam papers with him, and the two sometimes discussed them.

The princes were sitting precariously, waiting for the chief soldier Cheng to see the results.

One hour, two hours, the volume has not been finished, and some princes have begun to sit still, and begin to constantly sway their bodies, bending their bodies down for a while, and straightening their backs for a while, or scratching their heads and twisting their necks for a while.

Only Yu Chengyang and Yu Qingchen sat straight and motionless, like two statues.

After another hour, finally some princes couldn't hold on, and one prince closed his eyes slightly, and suddenly fell backwards.

Yu Hefeng frowned, waved to the palace man next to him, and said, "Pull it down." ”

The fainted prince immediately sat up again, kowtowed, and said, "Father, forgive the sin, the child will not dare again." ”

Yu Hefeng waved his hand again impatiently, "Get out!"

The prince saw that Yu Hefeng's face was full of anger, and he didn't dare to say anything, and walked out obediently with his head bowed.

At this time, another prince covered his stomach, sweating profusely and begging, "Father, the child has a bad stomach today, and he wants to solve the internal emergency, and ask for his father's permission." ”

Yu Hefeng glanced at him coldly, then looked at the crowd and asked, "Which of you still has the same requirements as him?" Bring it up together, and my father and emperor will approve it!"

When all the princes heard this, they all rushed to go out of Gong, Yu Hefeng smiled, he waved his hand and said, "Go, go!"

All the princes saw that their father was actually smiling, and they thought that there should be nothing wrong, so they all ran out of the door.

As soon as they walked out of the door, they only heard the examiner say, "All the princes who came out were eliminated." ”

"What?" The prince who had just come out was immediately dumbfounded, knelt on the ground in unison, and begged Yu Hefeng to forgive them.

Yu Hefeng didn't bother to look at them, picked out the papers of Yu Chengyang and Yu Qingchen from the examination papers, and threw the rest to the kneeling prince, shouting, "You group of things that don't make a climate, get out!"

More than 30 princes picked up their exam papers from the ground and ran out.

There are only two princes left in the palace, Yu Chengyang and his eldest brother Yu Qingchen.

Cheng Jian, the chief soldier, said with a smile, "Actually, it was also an exam just now, I don't know if the two princes ever knew?"

"I don't know!" They both replied in unison.

"What I just tested is your endurance, as a prince, if you can't even endure this hardship, what else can you do?"

Yu Hefeng said slowly.

"The heavens will descend on the people, and they must first suffer their minds, strain their muscles and bones, starve their bodies and skins, and empty their bodies." Yu Chengyang's words surprised everyone.
