238 Layout of the Intramuros

Li Zhouying took the gift list and scanned it. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoLast year's gift list was full of good rare treasures and rewards, and there were hardly any medicinal herbs, food, and nothing that would cause poisoning.

The matter of the monarch's serious illness has nothing to do with the Li family.

I really didn't find any problems. The Li family also did not have close contacts with the kings and grandchildren, so they should not be affected by this palace change.

"Hao'er, you have to remember. No matter which prince becomes the new monarch, our Li family is one of the few big families in Donglai County, and they all have a place in Donglai County, so there is no need to get involved!"

Li Zhouying was a little relieved and advised.

"Yes!

Li Hao lowered his eyebrows and said, but he didn't think so.

Only the Marquis of Wu, who has the trust of the monarch, will be appointed as the county lord of the ten major counties. Otherwise, there are so many martial marquis in Canglan country, where is it so easy to get the position of county lord. When the new monarch takes the throne, it is estimated that the lord of Donglai County will also be replaced. After a full-time change, the power of the Li family is not as strong as before.

The rise and fall of the Wuhou family is all on the monarch alone.

The monarch saw it and entrusted him with a heavy responsibility, and the family mastered the power of a county and immediately prospered.

The monarch couldn't look down on it, and if he was rewarded for an idle official position, the family power immediately declined and was replaced by other Wuhou families.

Unless it is a martial king family, it is really four or five hundred years of prosperity. As long as King Wu is alive for one day, no matter which king reigns, the family of King Wu can sit and enjoy the most noble preferential treatment, occupy the treasures and important mines in the princes' country, and do not worry about financial resources. The family of King Wu can not look at the face of the monarch. There is no need to get involved in the disputes of the imperial court.

However, how can it be so easy to become a martial king.

The heart of martial arts, there is no trace.

It's all about chance, or a little bit of luck.

For all the martial marquis. Becoming a martial king is an extravagant and unrealistic idea, and you can't grasp it even if you try to grasp it.

The peak of the Wuhou period is the limit of what they can reach.

The most practical idea is to be on the list in the palace examination, be valued by the monarch, and become the minister of the frontier. In this way, the family has access to a lot of resources and can prosper for at least twenty years.

The Li family is just a family of martial marquis. The position is not secure. If you don't seize the opportunity to join the future Xinjun, you will only have the prosperity of the past two decades.

"Depart today and go to Wangcheng to celebrate your birthday!"

Li Zhouying ordered.

Next. A team from Dongnae County set off. Including the county lord Li Zhouying, Zhenhai general Pan Dahai, Donglai Mansion President Cao Hao, and some local families of Donglai County congratulated the monarch on his birthday, about 100 people, set off for the royal city.

The heir of the Gu family. Gu Han Sword was also among them. Prepare to go to Guozijian to enroll.

"Han Jian, go to the prince of Wangcheng Guojian, cultivate with peace of mind, and don't get involved in any court disputes! You are different from other martial artists, you have a natural martial arts heart, and now you have broken through the realm of martial arts and become a martial king is just around the corner. Other martial artists need to fight, you don't need to fight. No matter how the situation changes, it will not affect you. Every month, the family will send you a sum of money. You don't have to worry about money. As long as you cultivate wholeheartedly to break through the Martial King, the fate of the entire Gu family is pinned on you!"

The patriarch of the Gu clan came to see him off and admonished.

"Patriarch, I understand, you know that I don't like mundane affairs, and I don't bother with idle things. ”

Gu Han Jian flew on his horse and said indifferently.

Don't talk about the affairs of the Canglan Imperial Court, he doesn't even pay much attention to the affairs of the Gu family.

For him, it was more like a deal, the Gu family gave him enough cultivation materials, and his reward was to become a martial king. Fortunately, the Gu family has only one requirement for him, that is, to become a martial king, without too many other constraints.

"Don't worry, old brother, when you go to Wangcheng, the old man will take care of it more. Gu Hanjian is the genius of my Donglai Mansion, how can this dean not take care of it. ”

Cao Hao said with a smile.

"Everything has Dean Lao Cao!"

The ancient patriarch thanked him and was quite relieved.

Cao Hao is the top ten masters in the "Blue Haoyue List", and with him, there really can't be any problems.

Because of the tight time, this birthday team of Donglai County did not have too many entourages, and they all traveled lightly, riding horses and beasts, and hurried to the royal city day and night.

Intramuros.

As soon as the royal decree in the palace was announced, the news reached the Guozijian, and there was jubilation in the Guozijian immediately.

All the prisoners and martial princes originally thought that this year's palace examination would be canceled, and they didn't know what year it would be delayed.

Unexpectedly, the queen actually announced that the palace test would be carried out as usual.

When the people of the country got the news, they couldn't help but be very excited.

A group of prisoners who were in the royal city, three or five groups invited each other to go to the best restaurant in the royal city together, and dozens of martial marquis chartered a restaurant to celebrate.

"It seems that God helps me! If this palace test is another five or eight years, I don't know what will happen, and some powerful new martial artists will come out to grab this palace test list, I'm just afraid that my hope will get smaller and smaller. But in this palace exam in front of me, I don't dare to say anything else, I am at least expected to be in the top ten!"

Hao Ziming couldn't help but be overjoyed, poured a glass of wine, and raised his glass to the prisoners.

"Brother Qingshan, Brother Hao, and Brother Bao are all expected to be able to enter the top ten in the palace examination, and even enter the top three! ”

"In the future, we will all serve the imperial court, of course we must support each other!"

Many martial marquis raised their glasses and complimented.

The prisoners of the Guozijian are very wise, and few people will bury their heads in the realm of martial arts. After reaching the realm of the Wuhou Realm, it is difficult to climb up the martial arts, and the strongest is only the peak of the ninth layer of the Wuhou Realm.

Their focus has gradually shifted to the power of the imperial court.

With power, you can have cultivation resources, and only then can your family also prosper.

Because of this, the temple examination is extremely important.

All the prisoners knew that there were only the top ten prisoners who entered the temple examination. Only then can it be hoped that it will be reused by the imperial court. Outside of the ten are all alternates, holding idle official positions, and the chances of being reused are very small.

"You've got one less. There is also Brother Ye, who has just entered the National Prison! If he can't make it to the top ten, then I'm afraid that it will be hopeless! Brother Ye's strength is far above me!"

Hao Ziming immediately waved his hand and said.

Others may not know. But he and Ling Qingshan knew very well that Ye Fan had a deep friendship with Princess Jiaojiao.

After the monarch fell ill, he did not see the foreign ministers, and now few people can enter the palace, and even the ministers of the court are not allowed to go in to visit.

Queen Zhou supervised the country. Zhou and Princess Ling Jiaojiao did not trust these court ministers, fearing that the court ministers would collude with the princes to plot the throne - their worries did not come out of nowhere, and many ministers had long been uninterested in ruling the court. shouted that a certain prince would become the crown prince. I can't wait to hug the thighs of the future new king.

But Ye Fan has a good relationship with Princess Jiaojiao, and he has the trust of the princess, and he can enter the palace to see the princess and the queen.

Hao Ziming knew that Ye Fan entered the palace once the day before yesterday.

Morning pilgrimage today. Queen Zhou issued two edicts that were as fierce as a knife and hidden: the monarch's birthday banquet and the palace test as usual.

Hao Ziming felt it. I'm afraid that Ye Fan is meddling in the affairs of the palace and supporting the queen Zhou and the princess behind his back. Otherwise, Queen Zhou, who has been doing nothing since the monarch became seriously ill, how could she suddenly use such drastic means to force the culprit to come out.

Ye Fan has only been a martial marquis for more than a year, and through Princess Jiaojiao, he manipulated the situation of the Canglan Imperial Court behind his back.

This shocked him.

"Brother Ye should be able to compete for the top three, and I will compete for the top ten! Brother Ye, what do you say?"

Hao Ziming wisely ranked himself behind Ye Fan.

Ye Fan took a sip of wine. His eyes swept over the prisoners, and he said lightly: "Actually." The top three and top 10 are the same, and even the top 20 in this palace examination have a good position! I think most of the people here have the opportunity to be reused. ”

"Oh, what did Brother Ye say?"

Bao Hua's heart suddenly moved.

He has self-knowledge, and he may not be able to squeeze into the top ten of the temple test. If the top 20 can also have a good official position, it will undoubtedly be of great benefit to him.

When it comes to being well-informed, no one can compare to Ye Fan, who can enter and leave the palace freely.

"Brother Ye has something to say!"

Ling Qingshan and the other dozens of martial marquis of the Guozijian were also very interested.

"This monarch's birthday banquet, the culprit will have to pay the price, and a large number of people who follow him will also be unlucky, and there will naturally be a lot more vacant seats. In addition to having enough places in the top 10 of the palace examination, the 20 in the later palace examination can also fill the vacancies! Even the top 30 in the palace examination can also have a good position.. Of course, you have to stand in the right position and follow the right people! Who are you all following? The king, or the second, third, or fifth princes?"

Ye Fan looked at them one by one with burning eyes, and said directly indifferently.

He needed some strength from the Wuhou Realm to help him suppress the rebellion at the monarch's birthday banquet.

And the martial marquis who cultivated with a clear heart in the country, except for a few who colluded with the courtiers and a few princes, most of them were relatively innocent and were most suitable for his help.

When the prisoners heard this, their faces suddenly changed slightly.

The prisoners of the Guozijian generally do not easily choose someone other than the king. But if the king is about to die, there are also a few prisoners who will bet in advance and follow the future king.

But this kind of thing will not be directly singled out.

Unexpectedly, Ye Fan asked them to express their position in person.

"Brother Ye, who are you with! I will follow whom! Lao Tzu will go out and gamble!"

Hao Ziming's eyes were fierce, and he said in a deep voice.

Now the one who can enter and exit the palace, make layouts and make moves inside and outside the court, is Ye Fan. The only one who can see clearly the chaos and confusion of the entire court is Ye Fan.

Although the other princes are powerful, they are far away from the royal palace and cannot see clearly.

Through the hands of Princess Jiaojiao and the queen, Ye Fan can continue to make moves, step by step, and seize the opportunity. A young genius like Ye Fan, a far-sighted Wuhou, would definitely make the best choice.

He is not blind, of course he follows Ye Fan.

"Those of us who stayed in the Guozi Prison to cultivate, almost none of us have followed anyone! It's not too late to choose!"

"That's right! Whoever Brother Ye is with, we will also follow!"

The prisoners and martial marquis woke up in shock.

Although they couldn't see the chaotic situation in front of them clearly, as long as someone could see it clearly, they couldn't help but say.

"Okay! I'll just say one thing to you. The bureau has been laid out, just waiting for you to enter the urn. Half a month later, on the day of the king's birthday banquet, you will follow me to help the queen, princess and monarch suppress the rebellion at the birthday banquet!

Among the three most powerful princes, at least one vein will be uprooted. There are countless vacant seats inside and outside the court, waiting for everyone.

After the birthday banquet, at the palace examination a month later, the monarch will naturally treat you well! If there are still people who can't see clearly and choose the wrong side, don't blame them for not being reminded in advance. ”

Ye Fan's eyes exuded an incomparably cold meaning, sweeping over the martial marquis and prisoners.

The martial marquis and the prisoners were awe-inspiring.

For Ye Fan's deep cultivation of the Ice Martial Soul, he was even more secretly frightened.

It has only been one year since he entered the Guozi Prison, and with the three years in the Star Tower, Ye Fan's Wuhou realm cultivation has reached a deep level, and a glance at it will make them feel chills all over their bodies.
