Tian Xiangguo looked at Xue Peng, he didn't expect that this Xue Peng had the ability to break his ninth game.

This ninth game of the endgame, but he worked hard to lay it out back then, and I don't know how many chess masters couldn't sleep for a few days and nights, but now, in just a few days, it was broken by this kid.

At a young age, he has such mental strength, if he is tempered again, he may be able to take on a great responsibility, but his identity is too sensitive, and he doesn't know what his heart is, so he still needs to be tested.

At this time, the female officer on the side said at the same time, "Qingcheng Xue Peng, break the ninth game." ”

After the female officer finished shouting, the incense had just burned out.

Of the remaining twenty-five people, only Himeno was able to break the seventh game.

The chess game was withdrawn, and the shrill voice of the white fat old man in the main hall sounded again, "Crown Prince Jiang Xuan, Qingcheng Xue Peng, and Wangcheng Himeno stepped forward." ”

Jiang Xuan, Xue Peng, and Himeno stepped forward at the same time and bowed.

Looking at the three people below, King Wen stood up with a smile, lifted the bead curtain in front of him, looked at Jiang Xuan and said with relief, "Yes, yes, worthy of being the son of this king, with the demeanor of this king, this king announced that this year's champion is the crown prince with the pseudonym Li Tong." ”

"Thank you, King Xie. Jiang Xuan's face was full of shame, all he got from this champion was water, but he had no choice but to take it.

At this time, he recalled Uncle Maeda's words a few days ago, "Since ancient times, in the face of royal power, siblings have no family affection, think about your sister, think about your sister, and then think about your mother, if the eldest prince becomes the king, will he spare you? No, no, with your eldest prince's heart, he will only kill you cleanly." ”

He was silent.

"These words, Uncle Tian told you three times before and after, Uncle Tian is not for you, nor for your mother, Uncle Tian is doing this, for the people of the world, although the prince is talented, but too belligerent, he is suitable to be a general who expands the territory, but what is needed to govern the country is to make the people stable, this point, he will never understand, he can't do it, once he becomes the king, he is bound to use all his forces, and the people of Dacao Li will fall into dire straits。 ”

"Xiao Xuan, although your martial arts are slightly inferior to the eldest prince, but you have a little advantage, approachable, Kenna is loyal, just like your father back then, but, compared with the king of the year, you still have a trace of courage, you can't be cowardly anymore, I and your father are already old, and I can't suppress the eldest prince, and when the day after tomorrow is in the court, you can see what the situation of the royal court is now, and when the time comes, you will understand. ”

"Uncle Tian and your father have already chosen an arm for you, that Xue Peng, that Xue Peng is an extremely intelligent person, with a clean background, and is related to the Taishang Sect, you need such a person. ”

"He assists you, just like Uncle Tian assisted your father back then, but the predicament you faced is much greater than that faced by Uncle Tian and your father back then, but Xue Peng's talent is also much stronger than Uncle Tian's back then. ”

Jiang Xuan repeatedly recalled his Uncle Tian's words in his mind, he was not stupid, although he didn't say it, but in the past few years, he clearly saw what the eldest brother had done, he understood that the eldest brother was seizing power, he never thought of being the king, but now, whether it is for his sister, sister, mother, or for the people who support him, he must stand up and stand in front of the eldest brother.

It's just that Brother Wang's martial arts are a hundred times better than himself, and now most of the civil and military officials in the royal court support Brother Wang, can he fight Brother Wang, he feels that he has no chance, seeing that this is the case, he feels warmer in his heart.

Because he knew that with the cunning of his brother, he must have understood that he was at an extreme disadvantage, but even so, he still chose to break the game and choose to help him.

Jiang Xuan looked at Xue Peng beside him, and was moved in his heart, "Brother Dumb, in this life, you are Jiang Xuan's Brother Dumb." ”

Xue Peng bowed slightly, he didn't know whether today's choice was right or wrong, perhaps, there was no right or wrong in this, just do as you like.

In his opinion, in this chess game between him and the eldest prince or with Xiangui, he has already dropped a crucial word, which is a great advantage, and it is also the key to winning this chess game, I hope it will not be discovered too soon.

Xue Peng was thinking about it, and King Wen had already said again, "Xue Peng, for the big exam." ”

Hearing this, Xue Peng hurriedly said, "Thank you, Your Majesty." ”

"Himeno, explore flowers for the big exam. ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

King Wen said, "Let's be even!"

"Thank you. Hearing this, everyone said at the same time.

The three of them stood up at the same time, King Wen glanced at the three of them, and finally coughed lightly and looked at Tian Xiangguo, "Tian Xiangguo." ”

Tian Xiangguo made his debut, "Weichen is here." ”

"Tian Xiangguo, it stands to reason that the top three in the palace examination should be assigned an official position, and according to Xiangguo's wishes, what official position should be given?"

Tian Xiangguo said slowly without hurrying, "According to my Da Cao's etiquette law, the crown prince can only listen to the government in the court and learn to govern the country when he is an adult. ”

Hearing this, the king looked at the civil and military officials and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, what do you think?"

Although Tian Xiangguo is old, he can't think about Xiangguo for a few years, but since Lao Xiangguo has spoken, and the crown prince is still the nominal prince, he will not change anything if he goes to court a year in advance.

At that moment, all the ministers said, "The ministers seconded the proposal, let the crown prince listen to the government in the court, and assist the king in governing the country." ”

The ministers seconded. ”

Hearing this, King Wen nodded and said, "Okay, from today onwards, the crown prince will be in the court and participate in the discussion." ”

After speaking, King Wen stopped his eyes on Xue Peng and said, "Xue Bangyan even hit three yuan, but unfortunately, he lost to the prince in the last game, Xue Bangyan and the prince can be called my royal court, this king thinks that Xue Bangyan should also be greatly appointed, the secretary of the military department, aren't you temporarily lacking a waiter, according to this king's view, he will appoint Xue Peng as the waiter of the military department to assist you in managing the military department." ”

Hearing this, Shangshu of the Ministry of War hurriedly stood up and said, "Your Majesty, no, you can't, the squire of the military department is the right and left hand of the minister, and you need a veteran who has fought for many years to be competent, although Xue Bangyan is a talent, but he lacks the qualifications to hone in the army, how can he be the position of a squire? If you let a hairy boy be a squire, the generals in the army will not accept it, your king, you must not!"

"This can't be, that's not okay, does this king still have to ask the general's opinion?"

When the eldest prince heard this, he hurriedly said, "Erchen doesn't dare, but Ji Shangshu is not bad, it is indeed not appropriate to appoint a young man as a squire." ”

"Oh, then the general thinks Xue Bangyan is suitable for any position?"

The eldest prince said respectfully, "The appointment is the king's idea, how dare the ministers trespass." ”
