Chapter 258: General, Are You the King?
The eldest prince, Jiang Lie, is more than fifty years old.
For ordinary people, they are about to enter old age in their fifties, but for a cultivator, especially a strong person like Jiang Lie, fifty years old is just like the rising sun, life has just begun, and his talent is waiting for him to display, and his ambitions are waiting for him to realize.
Jiang Lie stood at the forefront of the military attachΓ©, his tall body was like a high mountain, majestic, majestic, and unshakable.
Under the attention of everyone, Jiang Lie pondered for a moment, took a step to the right, and after saluting, a pair of bright eyes stared at King Wen Dao, "Your Majesty, the ministers think that it is inappropriate to use the queen's eating as the theme. β
"The purpose of the immortal examination is to select good talents for the royal court, choose the topic, be serious and solemn, and be closely related to the major affairs of the royal court. β
King Wen glanced at the eldest prince in the audience, and snorted coldly, "You still know that you are a son-in-law, this king has spoken, you, who are a son-in-law, not only disobeyed, but also spoke out to obstruct it, is it a courtesy of the courtier's father, that waiter of the Ministry of Rites, you stand up and say." β
When the waiter of the Ministry of Rites heard this, cold sweat flowed on his forehead, the king and the eldest prince dared to offend anyone, he was silent for a long time, and he didn't say half a fart.
King Wen snorted coldly, "Who said that the theme of the queen's eating is not related to the major affairs of the royal court, the queen is the queen of this king, the queen does not eat, and she is unwell, and this king has no intention of ruling the government, you say, what is more important than this king ignoring the government?"
"You all tell me that it is appropriate for this king to use the queen's food as the theme?"
As soon as King Wen's voice fell, the imperial envoy on the side stood to the left and said, "Your Majesty, Weichen thinks that it is very inappropriate to use the queen's eating as the theme. β
"As the eldest prince said, the immortal examination is to select the pillars of the royal court, if the queen eats as the theme, doesn't it mean that whoever has good cooking skills can be the champion, if so, the people of the world will follow suit and become cooks, your majesty, this move must not be?"
The old lady Shi Ling shook his head like a rattle when he heard this, and finally stood to the left, looked at King Wen and said, "Your Majesty, this move is indeed inappropriate, as the eldest prince said, the immortal examination is the main way for my royal court to choose talents, and the people of the world take this as the way to promote, if it is based on the queen's eating, it is tantamount to blocking the passage of the immortal examination, and at the same time, it also chills the hearts of thousands of cultivators and candidates in the world, in the future, those people of insight will still participate in the immortal examination, if there are no people with these talents, how can the royal court continue!"
"The lessons of the past, the teachers of the future, for hundreds of thousands of years, tracing the root cause of the decline of the dynasty, are all due to the fact that the rulers are dimly rotten, do not accept loyalty, villains are close, and the thousand-year-old foundation is destroyed in just a few years, the edifice is declining and irreversible, and those kings will also be stinking for 10,000 years. β
"Your Majesty, good medicine is good for illness, loyal words are good for deeds, and the old minister's heartfelt words, the king thinks twice!"
As soon as the old lady Shi Ling's voice fell, the Ministry of Rites Shangshu also stood up and said, "Your Majesty, what the eldest prince and the old lady Shi Ling said is very true. β
"The reason why my royal court can be passed down to this day is because the royal court has the highest belief in the hearts of the people, all of them are honored to enter the royal court, and now the king takes letting the queen eat as the exam question, that is, it is telling the world, who has high cooking skills, who can be the champion, how can the world cultivators and candidates still be convinced of the royal court, I am afraid that they will be disappointed in the king, the king is untrustworthy and the people of the world, and the people of the world will be dishonest in the king. β
At that moment, most of the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty knelt down and said in unison, "Your Majesty, what the eldest prince said is very true, please think twice." β
King Wen looked at most of the Manchu Dynasty civil and military who were kneeling, and his face was pale.
He naturally knew that the palace test was not a child's play, and he also knew that these people were all good words, but these people shouted one by one, 'What the eldest prince said is very true', all of this was exactly what Lao Tian expected.
King Wen glanced over, and there were only a few people who did not kneel.
If he was in the prime of life, no matter how rude the decision he made, not many people in the court would dare to refute him, and it seemed that his deterrence was long gone.
King Wen took a deep breath and said slowly, "Okay, since all of you Aiqing think it's impossible, then King Ben will change the topic." β
"The king is wise. Hearing this, the officials said in unison.
"Father is wise. β
A smile appeared on the corner of the eldest prince's mouth, looking at the attitude of the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military affairs, the joy in his heart was all on his face, and at this moment, he didn't need to hide anything anymore.
King Wen glanced at the eldest prince deeply, and finally said, "Since this topic is not successful, then the king will change it." β
"If you want to protect the royal court, you must first eliminate the border troubles, and the royal court needs to train more generals, so the topic of this palace test, this king will be set to play chess to break the game. β
"Chess is the skill of the national warrior to practice the formation, this king uses the chess game to test the candidates, select the generals, you Aiqing, think it is possible?"
The eldest prince gestured to the military department secretary behind him with his eyes, and the military department secretary immediately took a step to the right and said, "Your Majesty, Weichen thinks it's impossible." β
"Chess art is just chess art, not a real battlefield killing, no matter how superb any person's chess skills are, I am afraid that it is not as good as an ordinary soldier on the battlefield, the king, although the prince of Weichen fought in the north and south, killed the enemy for thousands of miles, and took the enemy's head, relying on the blood of seeing death as home, relying on the warrior who dares to use his life in every war, if the chess skills are superb can be a general, then the old man who plays chess on the street, isn't he also a general?
"Yes, Your Majesty, this method must not be allowed, how to choose the topic, please consider it carefully, in this regard, the king can listen to the general's meaning. β
"Yes, yes, the general has fought for many years, has made many military exploits, repelled demons, protected my royal court, and the king can listen to the general's meaning. β
King Wen slapped the table when he heard this, and said angrily, "General, you are the king, you look at them one by one, the left is not the king's law, and the right is the general, I see in your hearts, there is no such king as me, and in your hearts, there is only the general in your hearts." β
Jiang Lie was unmoved, but he also quickly knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, your sons are afraid, your sons have no rebellious hearts, and your sons will always be your sons." β
The faces of the civil and military officials also changed when they heard this, and they hurriedly said, "The king forgives the sins, and the ministers are dedicated to the country, and they are in a panic when they are anxious, and they ask the king to forgive their sins." β
King Wen snorted coldly and said, "If this is the case, then the question of this palace exam will be heard as a breakthrough, and whoever can break the game will be the champion of my royal court." β
said King Wen and Tian Xiangguo, "Xiangguo, set up a bureau." β
Xiang Guotian immediately bowed down and said, "Minister, obey the order." β
