Chapter 188 Come on, hurt each other
Pei Xuanling: "You are standing too high, your neck is sore."

Jiang Shishi: "." She was the one who bent over all the time, didn't she let him lift his chin?

She didn't even say that her back was sore, but he actually said that her neck was sore?

Seeing this, Huang Dechang immediately sent out all the servants in the house.

Even he himself went out with his whisk on his arm and closed the door of the inner room behind him.

It really didn't matter, Jiang Liangdi's slender hand wiped His Highness's face twice casually, and His Highness's anger seemed to disappear completely?

Still starting to feel sorry for Jiang Liangdi?
It was too tiring to bend over, so Jiang Shishi didn't struggle, she just sat on the man's lap and shaved with the razor from left to right, top to bottom along the direction of the man's beard growth.

After shaving in the forward direction, there was still stubborn stubble left on the man's chin, so she shaved in the opposite direction again, and helped the man clean his beard.

She then applies hot towels over the shaved area to soothe the follicles.

At the end, she also helped the prince apply a layer of body lotion.

After the body lotion was completely absorbed into the man's skin, Jiang Shishi looked at the man's smooth chin and said with satisfaction, "Your Highness, it's done."

"It's all right?" Pei Xuanling rubbed his chin with his fingertips, and the stubble that was originally prickly was really shaved clean by the woman.

In the past, when the court ladies shaved him, they would feel pain.

But when Jiang Liangdi shaved him, he didn't feel any pain at all, and the speed was extremely fast, which surprised him.

"Your razor is not bad." He glanced at the delicate knife on the side, and then asked quietly: "However, you seem to be very skilled in shaving?"

A woman shaves so well it doesn't look like she's shaving a man for the first time.

Jiang Shishi: "."

Too bad, she shaved her grandfather's beard in her previous life, so she was so proficient.

Jiang Shishi pretended to be calm and put the body lotion aside, "This concubine is not so skillful, the main thing is that this knife is easy to use."

After finishing speaking, she got up, escaped from the prince's arms, and hurriedly called a group of servants to come in to pack things.

Pei Xuanling wasn't in the mood to review official documents today, so after washing up, he settled down.

After a while, Jiang Shishi and the prince were lying on the bed, chatting about recent events.

While chatting, we talked about the next martial arts examination.

Jiang Shishi said with some concern: "Your Highness, last time my elder brother took the exam, King Kang made a lot of trouble. Now that King Kang is in charge of the Ministry of War, the military imperial examination is held by the Ministry of Military Affairs. Do you think he will make things harder for my second brother?"

According to the plot in the book, because of the original owner, the second elder brother Jiang Yongjie resented the prince and defected to King Kang instead.

Now that the crown prince treats her well, the second elder brother can see it, so he will definitely not defect to King Kang.

In the eyes of everyone, she is the prince's favorite concubine, and I am afraid that King Kang will not poach the corner of Jiang's family.

I'm afraid that Kang Wang will make trouble.

Pei Xuanling: "He has just taken over the Ministry of War, if he messes around, he won't have any good fruit to eat."

Hearing what the prince said, Jiang Shishi was a little relieved.

**
In the following days, due to the floods in Sichuan and Shaanxi, the Prince's Ministry of Industry was busy arranging for the construction of dams.

King Mu was busy taking over the household department.

After Kang Wang took over the Ministry of War, he was busy with the upcoming martial arts examination.

Just as Jiang Shishi guessed, as soon as King Kang took over the Ministry of War, he asked his subordinates to draw up a list.

At this moment, King Kang is in the study room of the Yamen of the Ministry of War, and the Ninth Prince is sitting at the coffee table drinking tea.

"My lord, this booklet is full of martial arts candidates related to King Mu." A guard first handed King Kang a booklet.

Then, he handed Kang Wang another booklet, "This book is all about the list of candidates related to the prince."

After receiving the two brochures, Kang Wang sent away the guards, and he and Ninth Prince went through the brochures together.

While flipping through the brochure, the two discussed how to proceed with the next martial arts examination.

Ninth Prince: "Brother, I think there are quite a lot of people under King Mu and the crown prince this time."

"Well, there are quite a lot." Kang Wang looked at the booklet with a serious face.

Ninth Prince: "Then what should we do, we can't eliminate them all, can we?"

"That will definitely not work!" Kang Wang said after a moment of contemplation: "We are like this. Those who are close to Mu Wang and the crown prince, and those who are obviously from Mu Wang's party and Kang Wang's party, we will directly eliminate them."

"Also, we have to eliminate them in batches according to the priority!"

**
On October [-], the military imperial examination officially began.

Dongliang Kingdom's martial arts examination was divided into three rounds, and candidates entered the Beijing Central Training Ground on the [-]th.

From the 21st to the 23rd, the first martial arts test will be held, including horse stance and arrows, spears, knives, swords, halberds, boxing, stabbing and so on.

From 24th to 26th, two trial camps, mines, gunpowder, chariots and other items.

From the 27th to the 29th, three trials of military law, astronomy, geography, etc. were held.

According to Kang Wang, the second brother like Jiang Yongjie, who is the prince's favorite concubine, is obviously a princeling, and was eliminated in the first preliminary test.

On the night of the 22nd, when Pei Xuanling was reviewing official documents in the study room of the East Palace, Huang Dechang came to the desk with his whisk on his arm, "Your Highness, Jiang Liangdi's second brother failed in the martial arts examination."

"We were eliminated in the first test?" Pei Xuanling raised his eyebrows, "Why did you get eliminated?"

Huang Dechang: "I don't know the specific reason, I only know that he was eliminated by Kang Wang not long after his first try."

"Isn't the result of the foreign test very good? How could you be eliminated in the first test?" Pei Xuanling frowned and asked, "Is there anything unusual?"

Huang Dechang: "In addition to Jiang Yongjie, several of us were also eliminated. Not only us, but Mu Wang's party also suffered heavy losses."

"Gu knows." Pei Xuanling told Huang Dechang: "Don't say anything about this, especially don't let Jiang Liangdi know."

The last time Jiang Chongjin failed the imperial examination, Jiang Liangdi didn't think about tea or food.

Jiang Yongjie was eliminated this time, so she can't let her know for the time being.

She is physically weak, I'm afraid she won't be able to bear it after hearing it.

Of course, you can hide it for a while, but you can't hide it for a lifetime.

Jiang Yongjie was eliminated, obviously Kang Wang used his power for personal gain and excluded dissidents.

When he comes to court tomorrow morning, he will let people report the matter in the court hall.

King Kang didn't just target Jiang Yongjie, the matter was such a big deal, King Mu would definitely not let it go.

When things get serious, father will definitely not sit idly by.

By then, when the matter has stabilized, it won't be too late to let Roubaozi know.

After thinking about how to deal with this matter, Pei Xuanling asked another thing that caused him a headache recently, "Has the Ministry of Households approved the money for the construction of the embankment?"

Huang Dechang shook his head, "It hasn't been approved yet."

Obviously, after King Kang and King Mu took over the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Households, they were targeting the princelings.

"Oh." Pei Xuanling sneered.

Since King Mu and King Kang have mixed party struggles with political affairs, they will play together tomorrow morning!
In the early morning of the next day, Pei Xuanling got up early as usual and went to the Palace of Preserving Harmony to pay his respects.

At this moment, Emperor Jianyuan sat on the dragon chair and mentioned the military imperial examination, "The military imperial examination is to select martial arts talents for the imperial court, and the Ministry of War must pay attention to it!"

Kang Wang and the minister of the Ministry of War nodded repeatedly in response to "yes".

At this time, someone from the princeling party held up the court board, "Report to the emperor, Kang Wang used his power for personal gain, and randomly eliminated the imperial examination candidates!"

Emperor Jianyuan stared at the official, "Where do you start with this?"

The princeling official replied: "Erchen's cousin, in the provincial examination, his grades were above average, but when he arrived in the capital, he was eliminated in the first examination."

As soon as the words were finished, a member of Mu Wang's party also raised the court board and said: "Your Majesty, my nephew's grades in the provincial examination were top-notch, and he was also eliminated in the first round of the preliminary examination."

"Chen's elder brother was in the top ten in the provincial examination, but he just started dancing the sword yesterday and was eliminated by King Kang."

so and so
Hearing this, Emperor Jianyuan looked at King Kang, "Second, is that what they said?"

"." Even though Kang Wang was so nervous that his palms were sweating, he still pretended to be calm and replied: "Father, you know that some people who do well in the provincial examination may not be able to achieve excellent results in the general examination, even the liberal arts examination is the same. "

Among those who reported him just now, some were indeed eliminated on purpose by him, but some were eliminated because of their incapacity.

He seriously suspected that someone took the opportunity to blackmail him!
A member of Mu Wang's party immediately retorted: "Hmph, it's okay if there are only one or two. Dozens or hundreds of excellent candidates were eliminated in the preliminary examination. His Royal Highness, Kang Wang, why is it a bit unreasonable?"

"That's right, we're not the only ones who raised objections. After the exams ended yesterday, if it wasn't for the unfairness of your military department, how could there be so many candidates making trouble?"

"Your Majesty, I seriously suspect that King Kang is using his power for personal gain, just to eliminate dissidents. Please also ask your Majesty to investigate clearly!"

"Everyone who loves you said so, it must be not groundless." Emperor Jianyuan looked at King Kang with a serious tone, "Second brother, I entrusted the Ministry of War to you to let you take charge of the Ministry of War, not to let you use power for personal gain and eliminate dissidents. of!"

"However, since you have just taken over the Ministry of War and it is your first offense, I will not punish you. However, you can no longer be in charge of the Ministry of War alone. You must let the Minister of the Ministry of War be in charge of the Ministry of War together with you!"

King Kang gritted his teeth and replied, "Yes, thank you, Father, for not punishing me."

Father said that he would not punish him, but in fact he was not punished!
Originally, he was in charge of the Ministry of War, and he alone had the final say, even the minister of the Ministry of War was also under his control.

Now the Minister of the Ministry of War cooperates with him to manage the Ministry of War, and the two are regarded as equals in the Ministry of War.

Cutting off half of his rights in one sentence, is this still called no punishment?

Father is like this every time. He obviously has thunderous means, but he pretends to be a bodhisattva.

Emperor Jianyuan: "Besides, since the martial arts examination is controversial this time, anyway, I have only passed the first test now, so I will take the test again, and the Minister of the Ministry of War and King Kang will supervise this test together!"

Minister of the Ministry of War and Kang Wang repeatedly answered "yes".

King Kang: "."

"Second Brother, Father Emperor is lenient, let me forgive you once, next time, you can't use your power for personal gain again." King Huai sneered, "Otherwise, according to what you did before, will those things that are not for your use be accessible?" Lost your military department?"

Kang Wang was already angry, but now that he was mocked by Huai Wang in public, his temper suddenly became irritable.

"Fourth, don't fart your mother here!" Kang Wang turned to Mu Wangdang, "Recently, the Ministry of Military Affairs held a martial arts examination and applied for approval from the Ministry of Households. You just refused to approve it."

"You didn't approve the money until the martial arts exam was about to start. If it was later, the martial arts exam would almost not be able to be held. I think you are deliberately holding back the money, trying to prevent our Ministry of War from holding the martial arts exam normally! "

Mu Wang: "Second brother, the Ministry of Household Affairs approves the redemption according to normal procedures, and there is absolutely no way to delay the signing."

"You are pure farting!" Kang Wang didn't care so much, "You said that you are following the normal procedure, but the prince, I heard that the prince's Ministry of Industry needs a batch of funds to build the dam, but you have been delaying. If it affects the reconstruction of the disaster area, can you afford to delay it?"

"." Before Pei Xuanling had time to report the matter, Kang Wang poked it out in advance during the quarrel.

King Mu: "I'm also very anxious about the money for the construction of the embankment, but everything has to be processed according to the procedures of the Ministry of Accounts, and the larger the amount, the longer it will naturally take to process."

"Damn, don't tell me this here, I don't believe it!" Kang Wang snorted coldly, "I think you are here to see people. When your household department meets someone applying for money, it approves it very quickly. When you meet me The Ministry of War, and the Prince’s Ministry of Industry, deliberately hold money and refuse to grant red!"

Come on, hurt each other!
