Chapter 316
Three days later, Qi Ran personally presided over a meeting at the Jingchuan Gongyuan.

As many as 50 people participated in the general examination, and more than 40 people finally entered the palace examination.

Generally speaking, the emperor An De personally came up with questions for the palace examination, but Ander was always impatient with these things, so the chief examiner of the palace examination was also Qi Ran.

The main reason is that Ender can't recognize a few words at all, and he doesn't have the ability to come up with this question.

After the palace examination is over, more than 30 people can enter the court as officials, and the rest can seek a small official position in Jingchuan even if they don't enter the court.

The reason is that the officials in Jingchuan are almost exhausted now, even if there are dozens of them, they still can't fill all the vacancies.

But to have such a result, Qi Ran is already very satisfied.

He did not expect that the people recruited this time would have such high talents, which is much stronger than in previous years.

Andersi was very satisfied with Ran's efficiency.

These days, the death of Prince Ancheng was investigated by Guangluqing Fang Yunchang. He reported to Emperor An De that Sima Kangcheng lied to Prince Ancheng, saying that there was a treasure for the prince, and then secretly murdered the prince with his family. , but Sima Kangcheng's family fled overnight after killing the prince, without a trace.

The matter had no choice but to be shelved, and Ander didn't dare to kill Fang Yunchang again, as there were not many people in the palace who could help him, so he decided not to kill people indiscriminately.

On this day, after An De came to the court, he felt that the court was basically stable. Although the new officials had just started, everything was developing in a good way. He was in a particularly good mood, so he proposed to Qi Ran again. The matter of setting up the prince.

With the establishment of a prince, there will be no disputes between brothers.

Qi Ran said: "Your Majesty, I think the nineteenth prince is the most suitable prince."

Ander thought of his nineteenth prince, but he couldn't remember it.

"The Nineteenth Prince—I remember, it's that An Wen who doesn't like to talk all day."

Because this son was too quiet, he never attracted his attention.

Qi Ran said: "It is Anwen, he is pure and good-natured, and he is the most suitable to be a monarch."

In Qi Ran's eyes, the other princes are incompetent, they only know how to be carefree all day long, and they are ignorant and incapable of learning. However, this An Wen, although he has a quieter personality, has quite a literary talent. If he can be made king in the future , will definitely not be as cruel as his father.

This palace smells too much of blood, Qi Ran very much hopes that one day this life will be peaceful.

But An De hurriedly waved his hand and said: "No, no, Anwen is just a useless scholar. To be an emperor must be able to kill and make decisions, and he must be ruthless, but he is too weak. Qi Aiqing, please help me think of another .”

When Qi Ran heard Ander's objection, his heart sank suddenly.

This, is there any other candidate than Anwen who is most suitable to be the monarch?

After thinking about it for a while, Qi Ran suddenly thought of a plan.

"Your Majesty, let the princes have a fair game! Whoever can win No.1 will be the prince."

"Competition?" Ender frowned, "How do you compare?"

Qi Ran said: "Your Majesty, since you want to choose a crown prince, you must be capable of both literature and martial arts. If you don't have all-round talents, then you should focus on literature."

Ander's thick eyebrows frowned even deeper: "Why do you want to focus on literature?"

"Your Majesty, in governing the country, literature is better than martial arts."

"Bullshit!" Ender yelled.

Qi Ran's heart trembled with fright, he remembered that this Ander was a martial artist, and he had no education at all.

It seems that I have been so proud recently that I almost forgot my last name.

He hurriedly knelt down on the ground, "Your Majesty, please forgive me. It's just my humble opinion. If you can be both civil and military, that would be great. During the competition, Your Majesty can personally select the prince to see which prince is most suitable for His Majesty. For the prince."

He felt that he should protect himself first, and it was really not up to him to decide who would be the crown prince.

Ander controlled the anger he just erupted, and he said silently in his heart again: I won't kill my subjects anymore.

"Qi Aiqing, get up! The selection of the crown prince has been decided like this. You arrange a day and let me know when it's time for the competition."

Qi Ran got up from the ground, he bowed and said: "Of order."

Ander retreated, and Qi Ran returned home after finishing the matter at hand.

He is very dependent on Lily now, just because Lily is so caring.

He has married all four wives, and she is the only one who is the most well-behaved and the most lovable. From time to time, she can also give him advice and talk with him.

There is no doubt that his Lily is a woman of knowledge and wisdom.

And he, who is under a lot of pressure, needs such a woman most to relieve his troubles.

Lily took a cup of tea, sat on his lap, and slowly fed it to him: "Master, drink slowly, and Lily will squeeze your back after drinking."

Qi Ran finished drinking the tea, looked at Lily contentedly, moved his mouth to Lily's face, and kissed her deeply.

"Lily, Your Majesty wants to choose the crown prince. I originally recommended the nineteenth prince as the crown prince, but he feels that the nineteenth prince is not cruel enough."

Bai He frowned and said, "Your Majesty must be so ruthless, so he hopes that the Crown Prince will have the same character as him."

Qi Ran sighed, and said: "That's right, Your Majesty's character is too cruel, I, as an official, should be terrified! I almost died today."

Lily was startled: "Ah! My lord, why do you say that?"

Qi Ran said: "The selection of the crown prince is difficult, so I made a suggestion, saying that the crown prince should be selected through a competition, but among the 23 crown princes of His Majesty, there are basically no civil and military talents, and a dozen of them are not good at all. They don't know martial arts, there are still a few who know how to martial arts, but the nineteenth prince has excellent literary talents. I said that if you can't have both literary and military skills, you should focus on literature."

Seeing that Qi Ran's face had darkened, Lily answered, "Did you lose your temper because your majesty doesn't know how to read?"

Qi Ran nodded and said: "Yes, it's all my fault that I have been doing things too smoothly recently. I don't know how high the sky is and the earth is thick, which made His Majesty furious. But for some reason, His Majesty didn't punish me anymore. If this is normal, I'm afraid it will be a matter of killing my head." .”

Baihe said: "Your Majesty must have awakened now! The courtiers in this court were either killed by him, or were all killed by the deceased Prince An Cheng, and now he only has you as a right-hand man, my lord, so he must won't kill you."

Hearing what Bai He said, Qi Ran was startled, this woman is really smart, she can see the affairs of court so thoroughly.

The two were tendered on the bed for a while, then Qi Ran changed and went out.

He wanted to arrange the game as soon as possible, not daring to delay.

After he went out, Lily went out secretly again.

The destination is still her stronghold, the station.

 Azi's broken thoughts: There are still chapters coming out at noon.
