Daqin: Consolidate the destiny of the country and help the ancestors live forever!

Ying Ziye was speechless, he was powerless before, so what's the use of having big ambitions.

Looking at brother Zheng's appearance, he probably won't stop if he doesn't order rewards.

"Royal father, then bestow the reward of the Shaofu to the son-in-law."

Shaofu?

What's the use of this kid wanting a Shaofu?

"That's it!"

Ying Zheng didn't think much about it.

It's nothing more than a small Shaofu.

"Thank you, Father."

Ying Ziye bowed his hands and retreated.

All the ministers looked at Young Master Jiu in puzzlement.

It is a great achievement that they only want a small Shaofu.

It seems that the Ninth Young Master has really lost his mind.

Ying Zheng glanced at the ministers below.

Seeing that no one was advising, I slowly said today's theme.

He thought about it, originally he still had 20 days to live, but it was inexplicably increased by ten days just now.

But he himself increased somehow.

He needs to devote all his thoughts to investigating this matter.

Therefore, there will not be much time to manage government affairs.

I want to test the abilities of the young masters.

I hope that a capable son can be selected to supervise the country for him.

He wanted to retreat behind the scenes and concentrate on investigating the matter.

Nothing is more important than your own life.

A person's energy is limited.

"Today, the widow came up with two questions to test the young masters."

"I hope that the young masters present can have different opinions, or answers!"

"The widow has important matters to deal with recently, and I don't have the heart to deal with the palace memorial for the time being."

"As long as these problems can be solved, then the important task of supervising the country this time will fall on him!"

The court ministers were shocked when they heard the words.

The main event is coming!

Is this His Majesty's purpose today?

Is this to choose a crown prince or simply to supervise the country?

To be so sudden that you have to take the test of the young masters.

You don't even take a break when you come back from the Eastern Tour, are you so eager?

Could it be that His Majesty knew that he was dying, and was preparing for the funeral?

Thinking of this, everyone's mood is not calm.

Some of the officials in the court are happy and some are worried.

Old General Wang Jian, Li Xin and other officers and soldiers frowned. Your Majesty, this is too sudden.

They were not prepared at all, which made them worry.

Could it be that something really happened to His Majesty's body?

Wang Jian, Li Xin, Meng Yi and other important officials subconsciously took a few steps back.

They don't want to participate in the power struggle between the sons.

But there were also people who were happy, Chunyu Yue and other Confucian officials were ecstatic.

They are the supporters of Mr. Fusu.

Hearing His Majesty's words, I know that His Majesty may want to establish a prince or something.

And Mr. Fusu is the best candidate!

Originally, Mr. Hu Hai was the most powerful competitor, but now he has been reduced to a commoner.

Since he is not destined to be the crown prince, it would be good to save his life.

That young master Fusu is the best candidate!

The rest of the princes also whispered to each other, and all looked at the imperial brother Fusu.

Among the young masters present, perhaps he is the most suitable.

Before that, there were eighteen younger brothers who could compete.

Now that the Eighteenth Brother has lost, no one can beat the Great Emperor.

If Brother Da Huang hadn't gotten too close to Confucianism, the position of crown prince would have belonged to him long ago.

And Fusu frowned, not happy, but looked at his father worriedly.

Ying Ziye also glanced at the cheap brother.

Fusu's philosophy of governing the country is different from Zhengge's, so he has been unable to be a prince.

Otherwise, there is nothing wrong with Hu Hai.

"The first question, the treasury is empty now, how can we replenish the treasury?"

"Second question, there are rumors everywhere. The remnants of the Six Kingdoms are very active recently. How can we solve it?"

"These two questions are mainly to test your problem-solving ability."

"This consideration is complicated, so let's write it directly in written form."

Ying Zheng, who was sitting on the dragon chair, answered these two questions.

He also had this idea on the spur of the moment.

To be fair, it was not mentioned to anyone.

I saw that those generals didn't intend to participate.

Ying Zheng nodded in relief.

But as soon as he finished speaking, the ministers in the court couldn't help whispering.

"This question is raised, His Majesty is deliberately making things difficult for those young masters?"

"These are two problems that we all share, and we haven't been able to find a solution to them over the years."

"The experience of these sons is much worse than ours. How could they solve it?"

"Today, His Majesty's two questions seem to be in vain!"

Chapter 15 Assessing the son, favor one more than another

The civil and military officials of the court were not optimistic about the young masters present.

After all, they have never been able to solve this problem.

"This is also a problem that has puzzled us for many years. If it is so easy to solve, my Daqin will look different!"

"Your Majesty suddenly came today to examine the young masters."

"It's because this question is too difficult. It's not as good as the civil and military examination."

"There must be civil and martial arts tests, after all, the son with both civil and military skills is the best candidate!"

"You know, before His Majesty ascended the throne, he was both civil and military!"

"It is because of His Majesty's both civil and military skills that we, Daqin, can sweep Liuhe!"

"Wen Neng draws a pen to secure the world, and Wu Neng mounts a horse to determine the universe!"

"That's what the most powerful son in Daqin should do!"

Immediately after—

All the officials have speculated about the next day's competition.

The ministers did not believe that the princes present could solve these two problems that had plagued the empire for many years.

Let's not talk about the remnants of the Six Kingdoms.

For the treasury issue alone, they have been unable to solve this problem for all these years.

Just these sons want to solve this matter?

impossible.

It is absolutely impossible.

It's so hard.

Many people in the world can hardly afford to eat.

Isn't it normal for the treasury to have no money?

Unless... unless the problem of eating for the common people can be solved first.

But this question has puzzled them for a long time.

"Please, gentlemen."

While the ministers were whispering, a group of eunuchs brought bamboo slips that had been prepared.

Pass it to the desks of the young masters for them to write down the exam questions for this time.

"Write all your answers on the bamboo slips, Ye'er doesn't need to write them, just dictate."

Ying Zheng glanced at Ying Ziye, thinking of his son's previous achievements, he didn't want him to lose face in court.

And this not only lost face, but also lost face of the royal family.

As soon as Yingzheng finished speaking, ministers immediately raised objections.

Among them, Chunyu Yue is the most.

I saw him get up and salute.

"Your Majesty, absolutely not, the assessment should be fairer."

"The rest of the sons wrote on the bamboo slips, but the ninth son didn't use it. This is because the bowl of water is not level."

"All the sons are His Majesty's own sons, I beg your Majesty to treat them equally!"

"If you don't even know how to write, how can you review the memorials during the prison period?"

Chunyu Yue knew that Young Master Jiu couldn't even write words.

His Majesty once invited the Nine Young Masters of Confucianism to be literate.

And the minister is still his junior.

But after drinking once, I heard from my junior brother that the Ninth Young Master couldn't learn it.

That's why Chunyu Yue said that on purpose.

After all, the scene of the Nine Young Masters talking to Lu Sheng just now is vivid in my memory.

Because of Jiu Gongzi's words, there are no more alchemists in Daqin!

He also noticed Jiu Gongzi.

Otherwise, he wouldn't bother to make things difficult for Young Master Ninth.

In his eyes, only Hu Hai was a little threatening to Fusu.
