Ye Fan's gaze fell on the yellow silk scroll and began to fall into consideration.

The Green Wolf Tribe of the Scorching Sun Mountains!

Cataclysm!

These two major events are undoubtedly the most worrying things for the monarch at present, and they urgently need the ministers of the imperial court to offer solutions.

Of course, there is another thing that is also very urgent, that is, the matter of appointing the crown prince, but this can only be considered by the monarch himself, and cannot be used to ask the ministers at will. At most, the monarch has a suitable candidate for the crown prince in mind, and asks the minister what his opinion is.

Therefore, the ministers can share their worries on the two major issues of this policy.

Regarding the Green Wolf Tribe of the Scorching Sun Mountain Range, this question is simply unsolvable, otherwise there would not be many consecutive sessions of the Canglan Country's palace test questions, and there would be a question about the Green Wolf of the Scorching Sun Mountain Range.

For so many years, none of the Wuhou candidates could answer how to exterminate the Blue Wolf Tribe.

And decades ago, the monarch once asked King Wu to take action and led an army of 100,000 iron cavalry to encircle and suppress the Blue Wolf tribe in the Scorching Sun Mountains, but in vain.

Even the Martial King couldn't solve the Blue Wolf Tribe, let alone let the Martial Marquis think of countermeasures.

Therefore, the most critical point of the problem is that they are all martial marquis, no matter how good the strategy they envision, without the strength of the martial king realm, they will not be able to solve the problem.

There was once a martial marquis who was asking the sky and talked eloquently about how to exterminate the green wolf tribe in the Scorching Sun Mountains. The monarch laughed angrily and sent him to the Frontier to deal with the Blue Wolf tribe in the Sun Mountains. Bai Plating means that Brother Hey's eyes are close to the heart of the mouth chapter

Later, no one dared to easily answer how to exterminate the Blue Wolf Tribe in the Scorching Sun Mountains.

This question made nine out of ten inmates directly stop thinking.

As for the matter of natural disasters, this is what just happened the night before yesterday, and now for one day and two nights, the disaster situation in the counties of Canglan Country has just broken out, and the detailed disaster situation, the local county government estimates that it will take half a month to a month or so before it can be statistically reported to Canglan Wangcheng.

In the absence of sufficient disaster reports, the candidates of the Wuhou were afraid and did not dare to write countermeasures.

Scribbled countermeasures, but it couldn't be realized, and if the monarch was furious, he was afraid that the ranking of the palace examination would plummet by dozens of places immediately.

If they don't dare to write about these two questions, then the candidates can only write about some of their own research experiences of the highest level, and bet on whether the king will take a fancy to them and treat them differently.

"Although it is very tricky, sooner or later it has to be solved. ”

Ye Fan pondered in his heart.

Regarding the Green Wolf Tribe, he had been thinking about it for a long time and had some thoughts of his own.

Even if his thoughts are a little "whimsical", the monarch should not blame him for his previous meritorious service!

He pondered for a while, and finally began to write, writing a piece of writing on a blank dossier about the Green Wolf Tribe of the Scorching Sun Mountains.

Throne room.

The second seat is in the seat.

Ling Qingshan's face was serious and he thought for a long time.

The first question he couldn't answer. But the second question about dealing with natural catastrophes, he has some opinions of his own.

He began to put pen to paper.

"The minister is right: Although the current situation of the natural disaster is unknown, the severity of the natural disaster is rare in a thousand years, affecting most of the Shenwu Continent, and the disaster will inevitably be followed by disasters. First of all, the minister asked the imperial court to immediately dispatch officials to other vassal states that were rich in food and had not been affected by the famine, and urgently purchased large quantities of grain for emergency needs. However, it was difficult to travel by land, and the sea route was the mainstay, so the large and medium-sized sea ships of the country were requisitioned and set off quickly to rush to the coastal vassal states to buy grain. Second, the granaries of the counties and towns of the country should be counted and the outflow of grain should be strictly prohibited. Third, to prevent the occurrence of abnormal movements in the Lieri Mountains of other vassal states......".

Throne room.

Seat 5.

Hao Ziming sat on the fifth-ranked examination seat of the prisoners, looking a little worried.

He was already satisfied with being ranked fifth in the first round of the palace examination, which was far more than the results he had achieved in the previous two palace examinations.

But how to write the essay for the second round of the palace examination, he was at a loss.

In the first two palace examinations, he had already written some of his highest level of research, and he was not taken by the monarch.

I can't take the third palace test, and I still write these things! I guess the monarch won't be able to read it.

Jin Luang Palace, the third seat on the examination table.

Rui Zifan opened his exam paper and read the two questions written on "The King's Questions", and couldn't help sneering.

Sure enough, as he expected, the two big troubles of the Blue Wolf Tribe and the Natural Cataclysm were all in it.

These two big questions are really vexing.

He couldn't solve the problem of the previous green wolf tribe, and he didn't have any ideas to offer.

But for the latter natural catastrophe, he has a countermeasure that can be called a nirvana, which will definitely make the monarch happy.

He couldn't help but think sadly of what happened late last night.

Last night!

Rui's Mansion.

After the first round of the civil and military examinations of the palace examination, their group of twenty or thirty martial artists were all desperate, and the total score ranking was even worse than the worst situation they expected.

They gathered in Ruifu late at night, drinking wine one by one, almost wanting to hug their heads and cry.

Even Rui Zifan, the strongest among them, was squeezed to the third place in the first round of the palace examination. Qin Ning was even more unlucky, and even fell out of the top three.

Next, it was the more cruel second round of the palace examination "The King's Question".

This second round is completely based on the king's likes and dislikes, and the final palace test ranking is determined.

The monarch is not very happy with him, and it is likely that he will be kicked out of the top three as well.

Once he is not among the top three in the palace examination, then according to the practice of the Canglan Kingdom, he will not be promoted to the nine important ministers of the Canglan Imperial Court and the important ministers of the ten major counties in the future.

Even Rui Zifan, the leader of their group of martial marquis, could not become one of the top ten county lords of the Jiuqing of the Canglan Kingdom, let alone the rest of the martial marquis, but they were afraid that they would not even have an ordinary official position.

They could already foresee that Ye Fanling, Qingshan, Hao Ziming, and a group of fifty or sixty Wuhou prisoners would take advantage of the opportunity of a large number of vacancies in the imperial court to aggressively occupy the imperial court of the Canglan Kingdom and the major central official positions of the ten major counties, and become an extremely powerful new force in the Canglan Imperial Court.

And they will gradually be marginalized.

In the next two or three hundred years of suppression, they completely sank, and their family was reduced from a famous family in the royal city to a small family worth mentioning.

"Brothers, we have only one last way now! to save us, and to save our family!"

Rui Zifan endured his grief and said to the prisoners.

"Brother Rui hasn't given up yet, is there any way to keep our ranking in the palace exam?"

All the martial princes were shocked.

"Yes! The king has a problem, that is, his ears are soft, and as long as he pleases the right place, he will be happy. As long as everyone nods and agrees, we will definitely be able to keep our current ranking in the temple examination! We will have a little respite and will not be defeated. ”

Rui Zifan nodded solemnly.

Qin Ning was surprised: "Brother Rui, what is the solution?"

On top of the palace test, we wrote a disaster relief policy together, taking out 10% to 30% of our family's wealth to save the disaster from natural disasters. As soon as this policy comes out, the monarch will be overjoyed! Only by keeping our ranking in the palace examination can we keep it!"

Rui Zifan said, staring at the martial princes of the court, worried that they would object. He can't donate alone, he must donate in a group of people in order to cause the king to shake and rejoice.

All the martial marquis were shocked, and they all looked sideways at Rui Zifan's idea of "selling the clan for glory".

This method looks righteous and awe-inspiring, under the banner of saving the country and providing disaster relief.

But in fact, it is a move to curry favor with the monarch, which will offend many wealthy families and powerful families in Canglan Country.

On weekdays, these wealthy families are reluctant to be willing to take out such a large amount of family money to help the disaster. Disaster relief is a matter for the court and the monarch, why should they ask these big clans to pay!

But Rui Zifan is now trying to please the monarch, regardless of the big families in the royal city, and uses this nirvana to please the monarch, in order to prevent the monarch from lowering his ranking in the palace test and kicking out of the top three in the palace test.

"Brothers, this is the only way we can keep our ranking and status in the palace exam!"

Rui Zifan hurriedly persuaded.

"Okay!

"I'm also a percent, too much!"

"Okay, we'll donate one percent! But in the policy text, we have to falsely report three percent to make the monarch even more moved. ”

Some of the martial arts marquis thought about it for a long time, and under Rui Zifan's persuasion, they finally reluctantly agreed to actually donate one percent of their family wealth and falsely reported to donate three percent.

There are also many martial marquis, who are unwilling to take out a fortune in exchange for the ranking and status of the palace test.

Rui Zifan can't control them anymore, so ask for more blessings. I can't pass the palace test today, and they won't have anything to do in the court of Canglan Country in the future.

The battle on the Jinluan Palace is fierce, how can you win without a trick!

Rui Zifan wrote quickly on the policy: "The minister is right: the natural catastrophe shook the Shenwu Continent, the catastrophe of the Canglan country is imminent, and the treasury urgently needs a large amount of financial resources to deal with it!"

His Majesty was concerned about the catastrophe, and the ministers were also anxious, unable to sleep day and night, and finally came up with a countermeasure to repay the king's kindness. The minister is willing to take the initiative to donate the wealth of Sancheng family to solve the urgent needs of the treasury. At the same time, the minister also called on more than a dozen classmates to donate thirty percent of their family wealth together to dedicate a piece of loyalty to the country and the king!"

It's not a lot of content, just work.

He didn't believe it, and the king would not be moved after reading it.

Inside the Jinluan Palace, there was silence.

Hundreds of Wuhou candidates were all writing essays, only the sound of paper and pencils.

Monarch Ling Ruigao sat on the throne and waited, holding a list in his hand, and looked at the list lightly.

On this, the names of Ye Fanling, Qingshan, Hao Ziming, and a group of martial marquis prisoners who supported him in the Jinluan Palace were recorded.

Of course, there are also dozens of children of the minister's family who are related to the rebellion of the second prince, like the names of Rui Zifan Qin Ning and his gang of Wuhou.

The Wuhou in front needs to improve his ranking, even if his ability is not strong enough, but the loyal Wuhou will have to be promoted a few places in the palace examination.

And of course, the latter must be pressed, at least ten places lowered, otherwise the rebels will not be able to teach a lesson, and they will not have their tails cocked to the sky.

The time limit for the second round of the palace examination was very short, because the content of the inmates' essays had been considered in advance, so they were only given about half an hour to write the essays.
