Be sure to cover the trumpet tightly.

Chapter 172 Autumn Examination, Letter from Conan.

As early as a few days ago, Chen Xiaoer learned everything through the news in his pocket.

This big cleaning will be after the autumn test.

At that time, all factions and forces in the imperial court will begin to reshuffle their cards.And the first among them is the two phases.

"It's just that I didn't expect that after the little emperor learned about the cabinet system, he chose to tell the concubine."

Thinking about it, Chen Xiaoer couldn't help but glance at Chen Changshou, "Father said earlier that there will be no more intense fights, so that's what he meant."

"He predicted early on that the little emperor would not fight the concubine to the death."

Thinking about it, Chen Xiaoer suddenly understood what the little emperor was up to.

"Is it the same reason as flattery..."

"First make moves, and then deliberately attract a group of old officials who are full of old officials in the imperial court, and then let the concubine kill them."

"In this way, the concubine offended more people."

"If you want to make it perish, you must first make it crazy. For this reason, you will not hesitate to sacrifice a group of veterans who may support you."

"This little emperor is cruel enough!"

Temporarily suppressing these thoughts, Chen Xiaoer looked at his father who was frowning and thinking, "After the autumn test, the concubine will definitely suppress and kill a group of people."

"Afterwards, a group of people were placed along the way, and the real cleansing was completed."

"At that time, the government will be united as one, and it will completely become the concubine's words."

"What do you think?" Chen Changshou couldn't help but see that Chen Xiaoer frowned and said nothing.

Seeing his father asking about himself, Chen Xiaoer organized his speech and said, "I want to ask my father a question."

A look of curiosity appeared on Chen Changshou's face, but he still asked, "What's the problem?"

Chen Xiaoer rolled his eyes at Chen Changshou, and said:
"If one day, the concubine or the emperor asked my father to choose a side, which side would you choose?"

Chen Changshou was taken aback.

He didn't expect Chen Xiaoer to ask him this question.

After Chen Changshou pondered for a moment, he shook his head and said, "I hope Your Majesty can win the fight with the concubine."

"If I were to choose a side to join before the decisive battle between the two sides, I think I would choose Your Majesty."

Unexpectedly, Chen Changshou chose the little emperor.

Before, Chen Changshou also admired the concubine very much, thinking that Shengyang could not live without the concubine.

But when it came to choosing the team, he chose the emperor without hesitation.

"Is it because of the dogmatic ethics of heaven, earth, monarch, relatives and teachers?" Chen Xiaoer asked, thinking that ancient people cared more about these things.

Chen Changshou shook his head and said with a smile: "That's a corrupt scholar, your father and I are not."

After finishing speaking, Chen Changshou let out a long sigh, and said, "It's to repay Taizong, the crown prince's kindness."

"If it weren't for the prince's help and Taizong's appreciation and training, I might not be able to live today."

"It's even more impossible to control the Jingzhao camp."

"Have you seen from ancient times to the present, apart from your father and me, which Jingzhao Mansion holds the Jingzhao Camp?"

Chen Xiaoer thought for a moment, it really is so.

The official of Jingzhao Prefecture Yin has been embarrassing and dangerous since ancient times.

But there has never been someone as powerful as Chen Changshou.

He single-handedly controls the entire Jingzhao Camp that guards the safety of the capital.

This is basically equivalent to handing over the emperor's life to an outsider.

Once Chen Changshou rebelled, or colluded with the outside world, it could be said that the emperor would be overthrown in minutes.

Taizong's ability to hand over Jingzhao Daying to Chen Changshou is enough to show how much trust he has in him.

"Since I decided to stand in line with the emperor, my father still pretends to be a plan, and this capital may have to be reshuffled." Chen Xiaoer said, standing up.

He couldn't say some things because he couldn't explain them clearly.

But he believed his father would understand.

Once the cabinet is established, it will be a long period of time, and the concubine will have absolute control over Shengyang.

At this time, if Chen Changshou still wanted to stand in line with the emperor, he had to see the situation clearly.

It's good to surrender for the time being!

Otherwise, if the concubine has the heart to claim the title of emperor, she may be the first one to get rid of next, and it will be this threatening Jingzhao Fu Yin.

"Retire first, my son." With a bow, Chen Xiaoer turned around and left the study.

Watching Chen Xiaoer leave behind his ears, Chen Changshou looked solemnly.

"Xiaoer, is this reminding me of something..."

As soon as Chen Xiaoer left the study,
I saw Hanhan Wen Ruxian walking over with a servant.

The servant was still holding a steaming casserole in his hand.

"Xiaoer." Seeing Chen Xiaoer, Hanhan beckoned.

"Mother."

After waving to Chen Xiaoer not to be too polite, Hanhan signaled the servant to bring the casserole and said with a smile:
"Xiao Er, come here quickly, this is my braised local chicken, I'll try it for you."

Braised chicken nuggets?Chen Xiaoer looked suspicious, can this Hanhan cook the food?

Watching Hanhan lift the lid, a smell of soy sauce hits his face.

Chen Xiaoer's eyes lit up slightly.

Didn't expect that the eldest daughter of King Wen, who was born in rich clothes and well-fed food, has such cooking skills?
This fool is not very good at painting, he has two brushes in cooking.

"Come on, open your mouth."

Hanhan held a piece of steaming chicken nugget between chopsticks, blew on it, and handed it to Chen Xiaoer's mouth.

"Tsk, not bad."

Chewing the crispy and tender chicken nuggets, Chen Xiaoer gave Wen Ruxian a thumbs up.

"Humph, isn't it delicious?" Hanhan raised his chin proudly, as if what I made was delicious.

"Mother's craftsmanship is really good!" Chen Xiaoer said it from the heart this time.

"Well, the kitchen is still there. I'll send someone to send you a pot later. This is for your father."

Hanhan closed the lid and said.

"Thank you mother." Chen Xiaoer bowed.

"Yeah, let's go back." Hanhan patted Chen Xiaoer's shoulder, and then walked towards the study.

"If I could give up painting and cook instead, I'd be willing to try dishes for her every day..."

Smiling and shaking his head, Chen Xiaoer turned and left.

……

Three days later.

Autumn exams begin.

The autumn exam is divided into two sessions, the north and the south. The south session is set up in the Imperial College, and the north session is set up in the White Horse Academy.

The reason why it is divided into north and south fields is not because the two factions are opposed to each other.

It's because Taizu established the world for the first time.

The first Enke was held, because the north was initially settled, and there were years of wars, thieves and monsters were rampant.

A large number of northern students could not reach Kyoto smoothly.

As a result, only students from the south participated in an Enke.

Taizu was furious, and ordered the destruction of the northern monsters and rebellious thieves.

Afterwards, an ENCO was re-opened exclusively for northern students.

To commemorate Emperor Taizong, the tradition of the two Enke competitions in the north and the south was preserved.

Of course, today's north-south field is no longer divided by region, but by the number of people.

Later, when the concubine came to power, in order to support the White Horse Academy, she assigned the North Test Center to the White Horse Academy.

for three days,
Over the Imperial College, blue clouds rolled, and there were visions.

Innumerable sons write the ambitions in their hearts.

The green air rolled and surged, paving the way for the ground, covering the entire Kyoto.

The monsters outside the capital were even more salivating from being greedy.

There were roars.

...

"Master, I have your letter."

A servant handed over a letter.

Chen Xiaoer took the letter and opened it to have a look. There was a line of elegant and small characters on it:
Dongcheng, the ninth floor of Zuixian Tower, Tianzi No. [-] private room - Conan.

"Conan?"

Surprise appeared in Chen Xiaoer's eyes.

"Tsk! This bad woman hasn't heard from her for a long time..."

Thinking of that woman who always had a smirk on her face, Chen Xiaoer smiled knowingly.

"Prepare the car."
