After thinking about it, Rong Yan decided to leave the throne to the people of the Holy Ma Kingdom, so that such people are willing to live and die with the Holy Ma Kingdom.

"Palace!" The attendant shouted at the top of his voice.

Only then did the candidates walk in one after another from the outside, some were calm, some were nervous, looking left and right, and then the ministers walked in and looked at the height and appearance of the candidates one by one.

Rong Yan as the question officer, as soon as he walked in, everyone's eyes were focused on him, Rong Yan ordered someone to open the words written in advance, everyone couldn't help but smack their tongues after seeing it, the title turned out to be "the way of the king", which emperor in ancient times was not afraid of being taken away from the throne, this kind of thing, who dares to discuss it on the surface.

Everyone was thinking about how to answer this, and couldn't help but be stunned, Rong Yan sat on a high place and looked down, some of these people frowned and thought deeply, some of them looked into the distance, Rong Yan looked at the expressions of these people with interest.

After a while, everyone came back to their senses, but the drums were beating in everyone's hearts: "We have passed the exam, should we be officials or kings?" Under normal circumstances, this question should be to listen to others sing praises of virtue, but this way of asking questions makes people feel that this is not the case. When you think about it, some people can't help but have a layer of disdain on their faces.

"You don't have to think about it that complicated, just answer the questions literally." Rong Yan saw the careful thinking of these people, because the candidates were not very old, he didn't break it, but just reminded the ten middle school candidates with a smile, he was bent on not putting pressure on the candidates.

These ten people walked up to Rong Yan in turn to answer, Rong Yan changed his sitting posture, he changed his previous momentum, just smiled slightly, looking very kind, the first person trembled, and finally sat down, but he couldn't say clearly, "I'm ......"

The ministers shook their heads after seeing it, no matter what topic Rong Yan came up with, but if he stammered, he couldn't pass the palace test, the ministers didn't ask Rong Yan's opinion, and directly asked someone to drive him out, Rong Yan just wanted to stop it, but he didn't expect this person to be directly stunned.

Rong Yan felt very helpless, "Come on, help him call a doctor and carry the person to another place." Rong Yan arranged the people safely, and then went back to the exam.

At this time, a candidate in purple clothes walked forward with his eyes wide open, as if he had been enlightened.

"King, the way to be a king is to let the people live a good life, just like you, to save the people of the kingdom of St. Ma from the misery." This person's face is flattering, so that others can immediately hear that he is deliberately greeting, such a person is a traitor even if he is a minister, how can he be worthy of the title of king?

Although Rong Yan was unhappy in his heart, he didn't want to get angry, but he just asked him to wait next to him in a cold tone, who knew that this person was stalking, and Rong Yan got angry, "Drive him out!" Seeing that Rong Yan was angry, the ministers all stood in place with a serious face, and their hearts were raised to their throats.

With the lessons of the past, the rest of the people spoke more carefully, and their remarks were as orderly as possible, although there was nothing wrong with it, but it also made Rong Yan not very satisfied, what he wanted was not a sheep controlled by people, he was looking for a wolf with a head and a person who led the people to live a good life.

"Would you like to take a break?" Rong Yan couldn't help but sigh softly, seeing that there were fewer and fewer people, and in the end there was only one person left, Rong Yan was worried in his heart, is there really no one who can be qualified for this position? He was worried about the future of the kingdom of St. Mar.

The final candidate was not in a hurry, and slowly stepped forward, "Thank you, King, I don't have to rest." ”

"Alright, you can answer." Rong Yan was affected by the previous two events, and his face was not so pleasant, he didn't report any hope, he just wanted this palace test to have an end.

The last candidate paced slowly in place for a few steps, this person was well-dressed and extraordinary, after a while, he stood still, he seemed to have thought of bending down and saluting: "The way of being a king is nothing more than strict rewards and punishments." ”

Rong Yan suddenly became interested, sat upright, and asked in a solemn voice: "You might as well explain, do you know that you are just strict in rewards and punishments?" How so? ”

"Harmony is like a spring breeze, all things are prosperous, punishment is like thunder, God is incomprehensible, there is no reward for stealing, there is no forgiveness for punishment, reward for stealing, then the hero will fall into his karma; If the forgiveness is punished, the traitor will be easy to act recklessly, and on the contrary, the traitor will be reaped, and the meritorious person will not be proud, and the good and evil can also be checked and balanced, and the country can be stable. This person gave all kinds of examples, thoughtful reasoning, rigorous logic, and Rong Yan couldn't help but look sideways at him.

Rong Yan nodded, and drew under his name with a pen, Rong Yan felt that this person was a material that could be made, just in terms of knowledge, this person was an outstanding talent in the country of Shengma.

"Pen and ink!" The attendant let people put pen and ink, Rong Yan wrote two big words, "champion", which means that he was appointed as the champion, at this time the ministers congratulated this person, this person was not complacent because he was the only one left here, but because he saw Rong Yan's words and was impressed by the magnificent momentum.

Surprised, this person hurriedly stepped forward and knelt in front of Rong Yan: "Thank you, the king." Even these few actions will feel his character, Rong Yan saw that he was not delicate and impatient, he appreciated him even more, and also rewarded him with some gold and silver.

Zhao Yunling saw that it was late at night, and Rong Yan hadn't gone back to rest, she was very worried, so she cooked some supper and brought it to Rong Yan, and saw Rong Yan watching the music in front of the candle, and was very heartbroken, "Rong Yan!" Rong Yan? After a few sounds, Rong Yan agreed.

Looking up, Rong Yan found that it was already dark, Zhao Yunling was holding the bowl, he was also hungry and devoured it, Zhao Yunling persuaded on the side, "Don't be in such a hurry, just take your time." ”

Rong Yan shook his head and took Zhao Yunling's hand, and told Zhao Yunling excitedly, as if there was a great joy: "I am preparing to spend the days of idle clouds and wild cranes with you, and I have already taken the first step." Zhao Yunling wanted to ask something, but Rong Yan frowned and turned his head.

"Tomorrow morning, transfer the new champion to my side." Rong Yan stretched his eyebrows after speaking, he still wanted to keep the champion Lang by his side after thinking about it, Rong Yan wanted to cultivate this champion Lang as soon as possible, and he and Zhao Yunling would enjoy the joy of family after retreating.

Of course, the lord of a country must not be sloppy, Rong Yan did not decide immediately, but planned to observe for a while, therefore, Rong Yan decided to appoint some important things to him, in order to hone his mind, Rong Yan did not have much contact with this champion, and did not know the character, Rong Yan decided to find a few candidates.

"I want to see the kids, I'm a little busy here, to see if anyone can come over and help." Rong Yan found some of the original royal relatives, most of these people have rich families, but they are not deeply involved in officialdom, and the young men's backgrounds require innocence, even if there are some small case records, they will be excluded by Rong Yan.

These people are all people who didn't expect their children to be officials, and when they saw Rong Yan coming to them, they were naturally grateful to Dade for Rong Yan, and when they heard that Rong Yan wanted to find a smart one, the children volunteered.

"I'm willing to try."

"I would too."

Even these half-sized lads understood that the current kingdom of St. Ma was not the same as before, and they wanted to find a good job for themselves.

"You guys come here." Rong Yan took a few more children by his side, the age is just right, and he looks very well-behaved, which is very in line with Rong Yan's wishes, after all, the king can't have only one candidate, everything must be prepared for a rainy day.

The country of Shengma has been relatively stable recently, the court is calm, and because Dongwen expressed its goodwill last time, the neighboring countries dare not take action, and the country of Shengma naturally has no external troubles and no internal worries.

Waterfront country.

Ling Fengchen was under the pressure of the outside world all day long, the original power of the various princes was deeply entrenched, and the slightest carelessness would turn into fratricide, and now he was fighting alone, which made Ling Fengchen feel tired.

Ling Fengchen always knew that Rong Yan and Zhao Yunling were going to resign from their current positions, and besides, Rong Yan and Zhao Yunling were not people who were greedy for power, if the two of them retreated, Ling Fengchen was afraid that the new king would take the opportunity to attack Linshui, and after careful consideration, Ling Fengchen ordered: "Invite the princess over." ”

Ling Qianchu has been very likable since he was a child, with a round little face, which elder can not like it when he sees it? It's just that she often teases the maid, she is not popular among the maids, but in Ling Fengchen's eyes, she is just a little naughty, and she is still her favorite sister, the princess of Linshui.

"Sister, you are the princess to take on your own responsibilities, I want you to go to the country of St. Ma to make peace." Ling Fengchen's voice was hoarse, he had been thinking about this matter for a whole day, originally wanting to persuade Ling Qianchu to put her on the overall situation.

Who knew that Ling Qianchu did not object, but covered his mouth, coughed lightly, and there was a smile that could not be concealed behind the fan, "Brother, when am I going?" ”

"Don't worry about these two days, let's talk about when you're done." Ling Fengchen was a little reluctant, thinking about putting it off.

This wrote a letter, in which he entrusted Rong Yan to find a good family for Ling Qianchu, Shengma's clan or the next monarch that Rong Yan is optimistic about, so that even if Rong Yan is no longer the king, Linshui can avoid the pain of war, but he still values the character of the other party more, and after writing the letter, Ling Fengchen put the letter in Ling Qianchu's hand.

"Qianchu's things are packed up and then report back to me." Ling Fengchen instructed the maid and waved his hand, indicating that he wanted to be quiet.

After a while, seeing that there was no one around, Ling Fengchen sighed, he was reluctant to Ling Qianchu, Ling Fengchen lay down tiredly for a while, Ling Qianchu was in a good mood after returning from Ling Fengchen, and led a group of people to pack up their things, making the princess's courtyard rattle.

Ling Fengchen heard the movement and ran to Ling Qianchu's courtyard to check, only to see that Ling Qianchu threw a lot of things, only carrying a big burden and walking out, when he saw Ling Fengchen, Ling Qianchu stopped.

"Brother! I've got it covered! Let's go early, right? Ling Qianchu stared at him with wide eyes and couldn't wait to run over.
