Chapter 374: Exploring the Palace at Night

This is the first time Li Ming has seen the palace of the Apocalypse, and it is exactly the same as he imagined, just as beautiful and splendid.

He once also hoped that the army of Western Qin would travel all over the Apocalypse and eventually occupy their capital, so that he could take a good look at the scenery of the capital. didn't expect this day to come so early, and he was arrested in the capital as a hostage.

The people of the Apocalypse were cunning and wise, and brought them all into the capital with lightning speed, so that none of their men reacted.

However, thinking of the initiator of all this, Li Ming laughed silently, I hope Tang Chu can keep his promise, and all his net worth and life are now tied to her alone.

At this time, outside the courtyard wall of the palace, Zou Shiyan came here alone, the reason why he didn't take Tangshan with him was because he had been here before, and found that he was worthy of guarding the palace's royal forest army, and he was really extraordinary, with Tangshan's martial arts, I am afraid that there was no way not to be discovered, so Zou Shiyan made a plan, he came to visit the palace at night tonight, inquired about Li Ming's route to the court tomorrow, and then robbed the prisoner on the way back when he was escorted back.

The night slowly deepened, and in the palace of the heart-nourishing hall, the emperor thundered.

Duan Hengzhi, Zhao Wancang, and Qi Sheng, who were kneeling on the ground, couldn't help but tremble, this was Long Yan's anger, and they couldn't help it.

"Bastard, in vain Fei Zhen is so good to Prince Nanxuan, he once blocked a sword for me, but he didn't expect that everything was just a means to hide his ambitions."

Looking at the evidence submitted by Duan Hengzhi and others, the emperor became more and more angry and angry, even if he drank a few cups of tea that failed the fire, it would be useless.

"The emperor is angry, now the evidence is conclusive, but the more important thing is how to make proper use of this matter!" Zhao Wancang said.

The emperor sat down on the dragon couch again, waved his hand and motioned for Zhao Wancang to continue.

Zhao Wancang immediately raised his head, so that the emperor could see the calmness and seriousness on his face more clearly.

From the moment the prince of Nanxuan and the second prince of the Western Qin Kingdom stepped into the palace, Zhao Wancang knew that his own affairs were coming, and he had to seize the opportunity to plan a good future for himself and the Zhao family.

At this time, in another place, Zou Shiyan had already followed a few people all the way into the palace, and there were many Imperial Forest soldiers patrolling back and forth, but no one found him, and no one felt his existence, at this time, Zou Shiyan suddenly had an idea, that is, his martial arts were higher than he knew.

The meaning is obvious, the guards selected by the capital to guard are basically either from the army or people who have been screened layer by layer, and he can't let these people discover their whereabouts at this time, which can only show one point, that is, his martial arts are more unfathomable.

Little by little, watching the patrolling guards alternate posts, he quickly changed his body, moved to all corners, and spent an hour of effort, and finally memorized the route of the entire capital palace in his mind.

The fury of the imperial study made Zou Shiyan listen to it squarely, and he listened carefully to the emperor's list of the crimes of the prince of Nanxuan one by one.

"Your Majesty, this Nanxuan prince can't stay, and he has a lot to do with the army, the minister thinks that the best way is not to announce his crimes first, and pull down those people in the army one by one, and replace the loyal and patriotic generals is legitimate." Lord Zhao said.

Duan Hengzhi glanced at Zhao Wancang, and always felt that he suddenly said something like this, but it was also reasonable to mention this matter now.

"Oh, then does Zhao Aiqing have any good proposals?" The emperor said lightly, his sharp gaze pointed directly at Zhao Wancang.

Zhao Wancang raised his head and looked at the majestic emperor under pressure, "Back to Your Majesty, the minister is a civil official and has never been out of Beijing, of course I don't know what kind of general should be chosen, but Lord Qi is different, Your Majesty can ask him if there is a suitable candidate." ”

His pupils shrank, and the emperor looked at Qi Sheng who was kneeling on the ground with his head bowed, it could be seen from his posture that this was a general, and the murderous aura faintly revealed on his body could show that he must have been on the battlefield and killed the enemy.

This is not the first time Qi Sheng has faced the saint, once when he returned triumphantly with the general, the emperor congratulated them in front of the palace, it was ten years ago, and he has changed from a young boy to such a mature thousand households who have killed the enemy and made meritorious contributions.

The emperor is old, but the majesty on his face has never dissipated, and he replied a little nervously, "Back to the saint, Qi Sheng has never befriended the generals in the army, because he doesn't know who to recommend, but the minister thinks that this matter should not be recommended by the courtiers in the army, but by Your Majesty, let the people of the world recommend it." ”

As soon as these words came out, the emperor raised his eyebrows, he didn't expect this general to be so loyal and straightforward, but well, he likes it!

Brushing his beard, the emperor sat back on the dragon chair, one hand clasped on the armrest, and the other hand rested on his cheek.

He thinks that what Qi Sheng said is very reasonable, no matter who recommends it, it will be mixed with selfishness, but if it is a real competition of swords and guns, it will be different for ordinary people.

"Then Aiqing has any good way?" The Emperor asked.

Qi Sheng raised his head again, "Your Majesty, the minister believes that there should be martial arts competitions and art of war conferences in the military on all borders, so that everyone can perform their duties and get the treatment they deserve." ”

The emperor lowered his eyes, as if he was analyzing the feasibility of his words.

"Does General Qi mean to let all the soldiers in the army come to participate in order to re-evaluate the official position?" Duan Hengzhi frowned and asked.

He felt that it was inappropriate, if this was the case, wouldn't the former generals be chilled, they climbed to their current position step by step, not to make way for others.

"Of course not, it's like the imperial examination, and there is such an exam missing in the army."

Qi Sheng thought back to what Tang Chu had mentioned to him, and only felt that this woman was really talented.

Yes, this matter was brought up by Tang Chu, although she didn't know if Zou Shiyan would be a soldier in this life, but he suffered a lot at the beginning in the previous life.

It is not only the hard work of going to the battlefield to kill the enemy and making meritorious contributions, but also the difficulties and framing of his superior generals.

Now taking advantage of the failure of Prince Nanxuan's affairs, she will take this opportunity to pick out all the pickles.

Qi Sheng raised his head and looked at Duan Hengzhi and Zhao Wancang's faces were unknown, he sneered in his heart, these civil officials naturally didn't know that their fighting on the battlefield was not the source of their tiredness and offense at all, after all, it was the wish of every good man to protect his family and defend the country, but being framed and retaliated against outside the battlefield was extremely chilling.

"What you mean is to also report an exam in the army, and then let all the newcomers who enlist in the army take it, and the former generals naturally don't have to take it." The emperor continued to ask.
