The Royal Palace, the Humble Administrator's Palace.

After Lin Beichen left, a person walked in through the side door of the main hall.

The four forehead lines on the forehead are clearly visible, who is it if it is not the left phase and the left road?

"Did you hear it all?"

The Beihai Human Emperor still looked at the direction Lin Beichen left and did not move his gaze.

"The ministers heard it. ”

Left salute.

The previous conversations between the Beihai Emperor and Lin Beichen obviously fell into Zuo Xiang's ears in a way that Lin Beichen was not aware of.

And this is the acquiescence of the Beihai Emperor.

The relationship between the monarch and the minister did not warn and confront each other as rumored by the outside world, but was like two old friends who knew a little bit about each other, and they were very calm and tacit.

"This kid is very rude to me, much more rebellious than his father was back then. ”

The Beihai Emperor sighed.

Zuo Xiang nodded sympathetically: "In the entire Beihai Empire, there is no longer a second person who dares to use this tone and posture to talk to Your Majesty." ”

The Beihai Emperor smiled, turned back, sat on the throne, and said, "But the more he is so unscrupulous, the more he is so unserious, the more I appreciate him and trust him." ”

Zuo Xiang continued to nod in agreement and said, "Because Lin Beichen is a person with no ambitions. ”

The Beihai Emperor smiled slightly and said, "But how do I think that he is very ambitious?"

Such an evaluation, placed on any courtier, means a huge crisis.

But the expression on Zuo Xiang's face did not show the slightest wave.

He said slowly: "It's the minister who said wrong, Lin Beichen has ambitions, but his ambitions have no conflict with Your Majesty and the Beihai Empire. The minister could see that Lin Beichen still had a great sense of identity with the empire, otherwise, with his greedy nature and fear of death, he would not put himself in danger at all, accept the challenge of [Condor Celestial] Yu Shibei, and participate in a 'heaven and man life and death battle' that he is not completely sure of. ”

"You old fox, it's rare to say so many good things for others. ”

The Beihai Emperor's mood today is surprisingly good, and he ridiculed the left minister.

Zuo Xiang said with a straight face: "That's because no one is worthy of a minister to say good things for him on weekdays." ”

That's pretty high.

But the Beihai Emperor also agreed.

"I originally thought that even though Lin Beichen was a peerless talent, he had Lin Tingzen at the beginning

The general demonic posture also takes years or even decades to grow, but I didn't expect his rise to be so fast, it's incredible, it's only less than a year, from a loser to a celestial man......"

The Beihai Emperor also sighed.

Although he has never been out of the capital, the eyes of the royal family are all over the country, and the rise of any talent cannot escape the supervision of the royal family.

"Zhan Tianhou has a pair of good sons and daughters. ”

Zuo Xiang sighed and said, "It's a pity that he doesn't have time to wait for this pair of children to grow up." ”

The Beihai Emperor also sighed.

For a moment, there was a sudden silence in the hall.

Both of them thought of the man at the same time, and their hearts were a little heavy.

"I want Lin Beichen to go to Baiyun City, what do you think?"

Beihai people royal road.

"[Baiyun Sword Shrine] is about to open, he is indeed a good candidate. ”

Zuo Xiang agreed, and said: "And he is a disciple of Ding Lei, and he can be regarded as the inheritance of Baiyun City, and he is qualified to participate in the Dongzhou Kendo Competition in Baiyun City, which can suppress those guys in Baiyun City, and can also suppress the foreign kendo powerhouses, and leave the inheritance of Baiyun Sword Immortal in the Beihai Empire." ”

"Then it's decided. ”

The Beihai Emperor had a smile on his face, and said, "However, we need to wait until the preliminary evaluation of the imperial assessment is over...... Regarding the preparation for the preliminary evaluation, how did the Qing family do?"

"Your Majesty, everything is ready. ”

Zuo Xiang arched his hand, and said with a confident expression: "All the materials have been prepared, and the corresponding personnel have also been assembled, according to the past practice, as well as the news we got from the Central Imperial Alliance Mission, there will be no major adjustments in the preliminary examination this time, it is still mainly the literary examination, as long as there is no accident, the probability of passing the preliminary evaluation is more than ninety percent." ”

"The Qing family is doing things, I am very relieved. ”

The Beihai Emperor nodded in satisfaction.

Zuo Xiang has been in charge of the imperial affairs for so many years, and his hard wrists, strong abilities, and stable decisions are all amazing, and he is the first person among the courtiers.

Since the first time the news of the Imperial Rating came, he had handed over all the preparations to Zuo Xiang to operate secretly.

In the eyes of the Beihai Emperor, among the thousands of courtiers, no one can do better than Zuo Xiang.

And now it seems that the left minister has indeed lived up to expectations.

At this moment, the sound of footsteps was suddenly heard.

Between the great eunuch Zhang Qianqian, who took small steps, he walked in very quickly,

Holding an object in his hand, he came to the front of the steps, raised his hands high, and said: "Your Majesty, it is the edict just sent by the Tower of Heaven and Man, saying that the assessment method of the preliminary evaluation of the imperial rating this time has been determined. ”

The Beihai Emperor raised his hand to take a photo, volleyed the edict in his hand, and slowly unfolded it.

He said with a smile while watching: "As expected, calculate the time, and the assessment method should also be decided, this time...... Huh?"

Halfway through his words, the smile on his face suddenly froze.

Seeing this, Zuo Xiang suddenly had a not very good feeling in his heart.

He coughed lightly and tried to ask, "Your Majesty?"

The Beihai Emperor frowned, and read the contents of the edict in silence, before raising his hand and sending the edict to Zuo Xiang in the air, and said, "Read it yourself." ”

Zuo Xiang picked up the edict, only to read dozens of words, the expression on his face gradually stiffened, with an expression of disbelief, and said: "How can this be, this time the preliminary evaluation chose the mode of [Battle of the Heavenly Kingdom]......?

[Battle of the Heavens] mode, a distant memory.

It's a mode that hasn't really been turned on in hundreds of years.

Its core is completely different from the previously expected category of 'literary examination'.

It was a thorough martial arts test.

"And it's level 3. ”

The Beihai Emperor's eyebrows were already tightly furrowed.

Of the ten preliminary evaluations of the Imperial Rating, eleven were literary exams.

Why did this time turn into the ancient and rare [Heavenly War] mode?

What is the head of the proposition officer who determines the question of this exam?

Compared with the all-round assessment and evaluation of a country's comprehensive national strength, although this kind of [Battle of the Heavenly Kingdom] is also in the direction of the question bank, it focuses on assessing the top military combat power, which is one-sided and full of accidents, and is an outdated model that has long been buried in the dust of history.

What fool has unearthed this pattern from the pile of old papers of history?

Is he having in his head?

For a while, the two monarchs and ministers were in the Humble Administrator's Palace, looking at each other speechlessly.

It was a real surprise.

It's not at all what I imagined.

In this way, wouldn't everything that Zuo Xiang had worked so hard to prepare in the past few months be in vain?

What's going on?
