Qi Sheng replied respectfully, "That's exactly the case, otherwise, as Lord Duan said, it would chill the hearts of the courtiers if those who had positions in the past went to participate again." ”

He naturally didn't think like this in his heart, he wanted everyone to have a competition, to compete openly, so as to determine the size of the official position, but he knew that it was impossible, and the system that had been formed over the years could not be easily shaken.

The emperor continued to listen to the discussion of Zhao Wancang, Duan Hengzhi and Qi Sheng on this matter.

In fact, the idea has become clear little by little, that is, through this matter, a martial arts examination will be held, and the people who participate in the examination are new recruits every year, and the content is a competition and the art of war.

The three of you and I have added to this idea one by one, and they all feel that this matter is feasible.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that he can still silently bring down the prince of Nanxuan and other courtiers who are disloyal, cheating, and hiding dirt. After all, with this martial arts exam, of course those people can't sit still, and they will try their best to arrange their own people to go to the army, and they will also do tricks and feet in the examination center. Duan Hengzhi said.

"Lord Duan is right, even if they don't act rashly at that time, we can let them have to be involved in the whirlpool of this matter." Zhao Wancang said.

"Okay, good, the three Aiqing are really talented people." The emperor is old, but he can't see that the country he has governed for decades falls into the hands of others, at this time, seeing these three young courtiers so bold and knowledgeable, he can't help but feel an inexplicable restlessness, this reform may be unprecedented, and it can make the entire apocalypse change the experience of earth-shaking changes.

"Okay, this matter will be discussed in the future, what Zhong Aiqing said will be remembered, and now the one to deal with is the second prince of Western Qin." The emperor's old voice came.

Zou Shiyan hid himself in the darkness of the roof, listened to the conversation between several monarchs and ministers for a long time, although he was quite interested in the martial arts exam, but the more important thing was Li Ming's matter.

"Okay, tomorrow, I will directly bring the second prince to the palace, and let him explain all the crimes of the prince of Nanxuan." The emperor said.

After roughly hearing tomorrow's route, Zou Shiyan also left the palace.

With a few jumps, the black figure disappeared with a swipe.

"You two, did you just see anyone?" General Qi stepped forward quickly, and he seemed to sense a breath of life just now.

The two patrolling guards hurriedly replied, "Back to the general, I haven't seen anything unusual. ”

General Qi frowned, could it be that he was wrong just now, it shouldn't be, but when he looked at it, there was indeed no one, not even a cat.

Secretly putting the suspicion in his heart, General Qi gave a few words of serious duty, and returned to his post.

The night slowly became darker and richer, a bright moon hung in the sky, Duan Hengzhi, Zhao Wancang, and Qi Sheng finally left the palace.

All three of them had a happy look on their faces.

In order to encourage them, the emperor promised that tomorrow the affairs of the prince of Nanxuan will be exposed above the government and the opposition, and the three of them involved will be promoted and knighted, and the court will definitely not let them chill.

After working hard for several days, I was frightened every day, and finally sent a few people to the capital, and the hearts of the three of them were suddenly relaxed.

"Two adults, it's too late today, how about we have a meal in the restaurant tomorrow?" Zhao Wancang proposed.

"Absolutely." Duan Hengzhi, who has never liked to move around with other officials, smiled slightly.

Qi Sheng also hugged his fists and said that the guest is at his disposal.

Their Qi family's home is not here, but in a county town on the border, and now they come to the capital, which is equivalent to going out as guests, and Duan Hengzhi and Zhao Wancang, who have lived in the capital for a long time, are the masters.

The three of them laughed, and they all felt that they were in a good mood and needed to celebrate.

Saying goodbye, several people left the palace one after another, before leaving, Qi Sheng glanced at General Qi on duty from a distance, the other party was not his own brother, but his cousin, he hadn't seen each other much for so many years, but just glanced at each other, and the worry in General Qi's eyes was fully visible.

After making a gesture, the two brothers looked at each other from a distance, General Qi nodded, and he saw his brother's gesture to reassure him. Nevertheless. I still can't let go of my hanging heart, isn't Qi Sheng on the border, how did he come to the capital?

On this night, some people had no sleep all night, while others had a good night's sleep.

In the morning, Tang Chu flipped through the map again, this time, her fingers were clasped to the location of the capital, no surprise, today should be the day when the imperial court summoned the second prince!

I only hope that Zou Shiyan can come back safely with people, the dragon and crouching tiger are hidden in the capital, I don't know how many masters are hidden in it, although I am very confident in Zou Shiyan's martial arts, but the worry still cannot be dissipated.

At this time in the capital, the calm lake surface rippled because of a wave of people entering Beijing, slowly, slowly, it seemed to have the tendency to roll up the stormy waves.

On this day, the officials in the capital walked leisurely to the court one by one, as in the past, but they did not know that a court meeting that subverted their perception was about to begin.

"Come, bring hostages." The emperor's majestic voice commanded.

Before the elder brother knew what was going on, he saw a man being brought to the front of the palace.

"Who is kneeling in the hall?" A eunuch asked in a long tone and a sharp voice.

Li Ming replied helplessly, "The second prince of the Western Qin Kingdom!" ”

As soon as these words came out, the faces of the other officials all changed.

The prime minister hurriedly asked, "Your Majesty, is this ...... What's going on? ”

While looking at the second prince kneeling in front of the palace, and at the expressionless emperor on the dragon chair, he was really itching at this time, such a big thing happened, he didn't get any news at all, what a joke!

Glancing at several of his subordinates, seeing that they were also looking at him blankly, the prime minister sighed, it seems that they don't know anything anymore, this time it should be the emperor's intention to hide it, so there is no way.

All of a sudden, many court officials, you look at me, I look at you, are confused by the scene in front of them.

The emperor didn't pay attention to their time, and let the second prince tell what he knew little by little.

Sure enough, the matter of Prince Nanxuan was still said word for word, including the letter containing the seal of Prince Nanxuan.

Suddenly, everyone was in an uproar.

Who would have thought that the prince of Nanxuan, who had nothing to do on weekdays and was idle, would collude with other countries and have the heart of rebellion.

But the ironclad evidence is in front of them, and there is no possibility of framing.

"The evidence is conclusive, now that the prince of Nanxuan has also been arrested, come here, bring this beast up!" The emperor said angrily.
