"The fifth? Rectify the rivers and lakes? ”

Hearing the dark guard's words, Bai Mengyan's face changed slightly, and her face unconsciously showed a touch of disdain.

There are quite a few sons of his father, more than twenty, but only seven or eight are adults.

Five problems, even if everyone wants to fight, there are still three people who have nothing to do.

But who doesn't say it's a screening?

Because only those who are really interested in that position and want to fight for it will take the initiative to take these questions.

Those who didn't accept naturally gave up the competition for this position, just so that the emperor could see who were interested in his position.

Bai Mengyan couldn't help but shake her head when she thought of this, and had to say that her father had a good question.

As for those who have accepted the test of problems, they have to find ways to complete them next, and even if no one can solve all these problems in the end, even if it is just a little change and improvement, it is a good thing for the dynasty.

At that time, even if someone urged him to make a prince, he would have reasons to refute it, and at the same time, he could clearly see his ability from these people and better select a qualified prince.

But he didn't expect that his brother would really get involved, couldn't he see through all this?

What if he tried? This son has never fallen on a prince who has the blood of the royal family of the previous dynasty.

And in the end, it will only lead to greater disaster, unless he wants to rebel!

Rebel?

These two words flashed through her mind, Bai Mengyan's face suddenly turned pale, she may have guessed why her brother chose to rectify the rivers and lakes.

There is nothing more powerful than those people on the rivers and lakes getting together!

Also, after the four princes accepted the fifth question, they sent a signal in the rivers and lakes to prepare to hold a martial arts conference in Jiangnan two years later, hosted by the imperial court.

At that time, a yamen will be established that is independent of the major yamen, and the gods and the guards of the gods and the guards will coexist, called the Demon Slaying Division.

And this time the martial arts conference, in the form of a competition for rankings, any Jianghu or sect cultivator under the age of forty can participate, in addition to the position of the martial arts alliance leader recognized by the imperial court, the head of this demon slaying division will also be the first in this ranking, and ......"

The dark guard glanced at Bai Mengyan and stopped talking, feeling a little difficult to speak.

"And what?"

Bai Mengyan's eyes lit up when she saw this, and the dark guard's look was probably related to herself.

"And... The four highnesses will be rewarded with the princess's marriage event, and the person who wins the first place will give the princess her highness! ”

Boom ——!

"He dares!"

Hearing the words of the dark guard, Bai Mengyan instantly erupted, and the breath gushing out of her body directly lifted the top of the pavilion.

There was a look of disbelief on her face, as well as a strong anger and killing intent, and the last bit of good feeling for this brother disappeared.

It was also the eldest brother's idea to marry her to the son of the soldier squire, and now he knows that she and Jiang Xuan have been friendly since childhood, and he is desperate to find Jiang Xuan to show his determination, and he even dares to use her marriage as a bargaining chip?

How can she not be angry?

"Father and mother agreed?"

She asked, suppressing the anger in her heart.

"Your Majesty's attitude is unknown, but Concubine Xian Niangniang is so angry that she can't afford to be sick, Hongyin sent a letter from Niangniang, wanting the princess to go back to the palace to visit Niangniang, Niangniang also misses the princess very much, and after falling ill, she doesn't think about her body every day..."

"You said the concubine was sick?"

Bai Mengyan's whole body was shocked, and her face was suddenly occupied by a thick worry, and her face was full of anxiety.

At this time, the secret guard took out a letter and handed it to Bai Mengyan.

Bai Mengyan took the letter, looked at the well-sealed fire paint, hurriedly opened the letter, and saw the familiar handwriting and the way to write the letter agreed with herself.

She hurriedly began to read, and the expression on her face became paler and paler, and finally she sat down in the gazebo.

……

Thousands of miles away, in the capital of Great Xia.

His Majesty the Emperor is sitting cross-legged on the futon, and the emperor, who should have been in charge of everything, has not corrected the twists and turns as the people of the world know.

It's meditation and pranayama.

Not far away, Wang Zhaoen, the chief administrator of the Ouchi, who was a permanent attendant, was quietly guarding the door.

It wasn't until a long breath and exhalation came that the chief steward bowed open the door, and a group of palace maids and eunuchs who had been waiting for a long time rushed in outside.

Buckets of water emitting various medicinal fragrances were brought in and poured into a huge pool inside the palace.

And the pool also contained a half-pool of spiritual springs that exuded a rich aura, which merged with these potions.

The palace maid carefully dressed the emperor, and then sat down in the pool, and the people retreated again.

"Wang Daban, what are you talking about recently?"

Hearing the emperor's call, Wang Zhaoen took a few steps forward to the edge of the pool, and after a little thought, he spoke.

"The old slave said a little farther, the kid who was kicked out by His Majesty seemed to have lost his memory by the princess, and the two walked out of that village, but they were better off, and the people below were worried that something would happen, so they specially asked how to deal with it.

In addition, the people below also said that the people sent by the Fourth Highness made a move against that kid, and assassinated that kid on the night of Her Royal Highness the Princess's shot, saying that he had already succeeded, and even his soul was detained, but who knew that the kid was alive again.

The old slave counted the kid's amnesia to something to do with it, as for the suspicion that he was taken away or possessed by the demon clan, the little ones had already explored it.

Moreover, Her Royal Highness the princess's palm made him lose all his cultivation, plus he lost his memory, secretly passed on his cultivation to him, and sent people to the state capital to mobilize resources, but was rejected by the small ones! ”

Emperor Mingde listened quietly, and he couldn't see any emotion with his eyes closed, but he was silent for a while before he spoke slowly.

"Why don't any of my sons and daughters be obedient?"

When Wang Zhaoen heard this, he lowered his head and didn't dare to speak.

"How determined I was to listen to the words of the fourth child and give him to that kid, but she didn't want to live or die, this is good, that kid still dares to resist the decree, where to put the royal face?

It's good now, but she quietly ran out of the palace to be with others, and quietly visited the church to get married, and didn't take me, the father and his mother, in her eyes at all! ”

Wang Zhaoen couldn't hear whether he was happy or angry, so he could only stand quietly and dare not speak.

"What has the fourth been doing lately?"

Wang Zhaoen was about to speak when he heard this, but the emperor's voice came again.

"I guess he's busy recruiting talents, huh, why can't he understand it? Those people in the court are not stupid people, I spoil them because his mother suffered for me back then, but he regarded them as indulgence to him.

How could the position of emperor be given to a person who had the blood of the royal family of the previous dynasty? Are you saying he's that stupid? Can't really guess? Can't see through? ”

After two questions in succession, Wang Zhaoen didn't dare to speak, and still stood aside like a wooden man.

The emperor stopped talking, and glanced at Wang Zhaoen with some boredness, and then said, "Go on!" ”

"All the princes have made some moves, and the fourth prince secretly forced Concubine Xian to send a letter to the ninth princess, probably trying to trick the princess back, and Concubine Xian fell ill because of this!"

Hearing this, the emperor's eyes finally flashed with anger in his calm tone at first, and then he snorted coldly: "Okay! Okay, yes! ”

Wang Zhaoen didn't dare to speak, and the temperature in the room dropped instantly, like falling into an ice cave!
