Chapter 170 Exam Passed
"Then should we make preparations early?" Sheng Hou asked His Majesty.

"The southwestern frontier defense is a virgin forest, not a natural barrier. In terms of it, it is easy to break through the barrier without being noticed by our army." His Majesty sighed, and various thoughts were mixed in his eyes.

Sheng Hou clearly saw his distress, and comforted him, "Your Majesty, right now we can only strengthen the Southwest Army's awareness of prevention."

"Yes. But the Northeast is also uneasy. A few days ago, the Northwest Garrison sent an urgent report saying that troops on the border of the Great Cold Country were moving towards our Chaofeng territory. If at this time, the Southwest and Northeast armies launched a sneak attack on our country at the same time, I am afraid Not easy to deal with."

Sheng Yu frowned, how could the actions of Dahan Kingdom and Nanyin Kingdom be so consistent?It is impossible to think and know that the two countries have colluded.

"Didn't the four countries have a peace treaty? Don't they dare to openly destroy the treaty?" Sheng Wan said, it wouldn't be nice for future generations to record such things.

His Majesty laughed at her, "Why don't you dare to destroy it? As long as there are enough interests, it doesn't matter whether you keep your promise or not."

"It's really shameless." Sheng Wan laughed and cursed, then turned his eyes, "Your Majesty, why don't we make plans earlier."

"How do you plan?" His Majesty turned his eyes and looked at her with a little interest.

"I need a topographic map of the whole country, focusing on the southwest and northeast." Sheng Wan smiled, so many years of history are not in vain.

His Majesty looked at her suspiciously, not knowing what tricks his Xiaojiu had.But he believed her unconditionally, so he readily agreed.

"Oh, by the way, I heard from Xia Yao that the ministers of the DPRK and China have already prepared a question for me? I'm quite interested." Sheng Wan's eyes flashed with interest.

Seeing her confident appearance, His Majesty was a little dumbfounded.Those civil servants in the court were all obtained through actual examinations for their merits, and the questions they asked were naturally tricky and difficult to solve. I don't know where Xiao Jiu came from so confident.

"Then let the ministers go to the Chongwen Hall to invigilate the examination after the court tomorrow morning."

Sheng Wan looked into the distance and smiled confidently, "Your Majesty, trust me. I will convince them."

His Majesty smiled. His daughter was sometimes lively, sometimes deep, and sometimes ruthless. Many times he couldn't understand what was going on in her heart.

"Huh? There are strangers?" His Majesty suddenly looked into the pavilion in front and asked.

Sheng Wan turned his gaze, saw the walking corpse in the pavilion, and shook his head, "I picked it up from the desert, well, you can call him Ji Qinghan."

"Mr. Ji?" His Majesty's eyes froze.

Sheng Wan said awkwardly, "This person has the same appearance as him. Your Majesty should have heard of the corpse raising technique in Nanyin Kingdom, right? He was raised from corpses, and he only listens to people's orders, without thinking."

After she finished speaking, there was a thought in her eyes.

His Majesty saw the black shadow over there suddenly disappear, and then suddenly appeared in front of him.

He was startled.

Sheng Wan stepped forward and said with a smile, "Look."

His Majesty came back to his senses, and looked up and down the tall, pale man with an icy face. He had exactly the same appearance as Mr. Ji.

"What's going on? Could it be that Mr. Ji has... this is his corpse?"

"No, it's just that they look similar." Sheng Wan explained, with a gloomy look in his eyes.

His Majesty nodded, and brushed past the walking corpse's face before turning around and saying, "I'll ask someone to fetch you the map later, and I'll also give you a defense map, come and discuss with me if you have anything to do. "

"Your Majesty, I'm really flattered that you trust me so much." Sheng Hou smiled and held his arm.

His Majesty smiled and said, "Don't be poor, it's important to do the right thing. What I want most now is to give you a peaceful and prosperous world." Unfortunately, this year turned out to be an eventful one.

"Your Majesty, don't worry, if Dahan and Nanyin dare to commit an offense, I will make them regret it." Sheng Hou said solemnly, as if swearing.

A look of relief flashed across His Majesty's face.

In the afternoon, His Majesty's letter of introduction was sent to General Li's residence.

Morning the next day.

Standing at the head of all the officials in a court dress, Sheng Wan is more confident than usual today.

Those ministers who opposed her were all looking forward to the next court, and hurriedly took out the test questions to test her to see if she still dared to speak so brazenly.

"Your Majesty, the Southwest Army didn't find any abnormalities. Did Her Highness the Empress Dowager mistakenly read or thought it was wrong?" Wang Anzhi, the son of the Southwest Army's commander Wang Zhen, came out and explained.

Hearing this, Sheng Wan frowned.

His Majesty frowned, and there was a change in his eyes.

"Vice General Wang, how can I lie about my personal experience? The name of the young general who leads the army is Lin Xingzhi." Sheng Yu stared at him neither humble nor overbearing, and then looked at His Majesty.

His Majesty's eyes froze, and his hand suddenly slapped on the dragon chair, "General Wang, should you give me an explanation?"

Wang Anzhi's complexion changed suddenly and he knelt on the ground, his whole body seemed submissive as if he had made some serious mistake.

Sheng Wan suddenly felt strange, as if His Majesty knew something.But she still doesn't understand?

"Master Sima, what's going on here?"

Lord Sima didn't want to whisper in the court, but seeing Sheng Yu's confused face, he couldn't help explaining in a low voice, "General Wang, the coach of the Southwest, has three sons, Anzhi, Xingzhi, and Zhongzhi. Lin Xingzhi used to be the second son of General Wang. A pseudonym! It was reported before that the Southwest Army pretended to be the Nanyin Emperor's army to rob merchants, and this time it seems to be true."

As soon as Sheng Wan went deep into the combination, he instantly understood.

This Southwest coach is really bold, pretending to be an enemy army and robbing the goods of his country's merchants. Let alone his bad reputation, the crime of provoking a war between the two countries is enough for him to eat a pot!

So fucking bold!
"Your royal family is really getting more and more daring! You even robbed the imperial concubine's team!" Your Majesty was furious! "The herald, you can send an order to Zhaoxinan's coach, Wang Gang, to return to the imperial capital, and General Li is now rushing to the southwest to act as the commander-in-chief temporarily!"

"Your Majesty, the Wang family has been wronged, maybe someone is impersonating you, Your Majesty!" Wang Anzhi knelt on the ground and cried out in pain.

Sheng Wan's eyes turned back and fell on him.This person was crying, but he was pretending to cry, and his inner activities were relatively large, showing signs of guilty conscience.

It seems His Majesty's decision is correct.

Before the next dynasty.

"The examination in front of the palace of the Empress Dowager will be held in the Chongwen Palace. In order to ensure the fairness and justice of the examination, I allow all the ministers to invigilate the examination." His Majesty's words undoubtedly gave confidence to those ministers who opposed it.

They all wanted to see the empress dowager make a fool of themselves, so they were naturally happy to invigilate the exam.

"These people are really strange. Does it look good for me to make a fool of myself?" Sheng Wan wondered, and then greeted His Majesty who came down from the dragon chair.

"Your Majesty, how much do you know about the Wang family?" If necessary, the Southwest Army must be regrouped, otherwise there will be problems at the border sooner or later.

Your Majesty, "There is nothing wrong with being respectful and respectful in front of me. However, there are reports from all parties that the Wang family is proud of his achievements and domineering in the southwest. I have also sent imperial envoys to investigate, but every time there is no problem. .”

"The more this is the case, the more problematic it is." It can only be said that the Wang family pretended well.

"Okay, let's not talk about the Wang family's affairs for now. Even if my son fails the palace examination, the throne is still yours, and I will not let anyone stop me from making this decision." His Majesty said finally, a stern look flashed in his eyes.

Sheng Wan knew that he was ready to use tough measures.

"Your Majesty, you have to have confidence in me. I won't be troubled by such a small matter." Sheng Wan supported him, smiling brightly.

Chongwen Hall.

All the officials sat down, and Sheng Hou was surrounded by a table in the middle.

The civil servant who had always been the most vocal opponent hung up the exam questions confidently.

"The time limit is two hours, Your Highness, please do not exceed the time limit."

Sheng Wan looked at the test questions and looked at him with a smile, "You can go down now, don't block the questions."

The civil servant's face changed, and he returned to his seat with sarcasm in his eyes.

Sheng Wan looked at the exam questions, lowered his eyes and pondered for a while, then picked up a pen and began to write eloquently.

For two hours, none of the ministers dared to go out for convenience or go out to stand for a while. They were watching the actions of the empress dowager the whole time, for fear of missing the slightest chance of cheating.

Sheng Wan has been writing non-stop since he started writing, as if he was in typing mode.

After an hour or so, everyone put down their pens with a smile on her face, then took the paper and scanned it from beginning to end, and then put the paper on the table.He got up and looked at the examiners with a smile, "Is it okay to hand in the papers in advance?"

The corners of everyone's eyes twitched, this is... too crazy!It is simply provocative!

Sitting upright on the main seat, His Majesty couldn't help but a helpless smile flashed in his eyes when he saw that Sheng Yu had handed in the paper ahead of time.

This child really cannot tolerate the slightest contempt from others.

"His Royal Highness, are you sure you want to hand in the paper?" the examiner asked her again.

"Of course." Sheng Hou walked slowly to the table under His Majesty, took a piece of pastry and ate it, looking refreshed.

The examiner withdrew his gaze in contempt, hurried over to pick up the paper, and immediately behind him several civil servants came up to grade the paper together.

Sheng Wan wanted to wait until they checked the papers to announce the answer, so he couldn't help smiling and walked to His Majesty's side, saying, "Your Majesty, since Old General Li is going to the southwest, why not let him bring Ma Sankai and Meng Yi with him, Meng Yi is in the southwest Having stayed in the army, he must know something about the internal situation. Ma Sankai used to be a native of Nanyin country, so he knows a lot about Nanyin country."

"That's good. General Li is getting old. It's reassuring to have two people around to take care of him." His Majesty nodded in agreement.

A smile flashed in Sheng Wan's eyes, and then he turned his eyes away from the examiners who were grading papers.

I saw their faces turn white and red for a while, reading a test paper can actually make them have various expressions.

Half an hour later, after discussing with the examiners, they all came forward and knelt on the ground to perform the highest kneeling salute.

"His Majesty the Empress Dowager has a unique insight, and the words are full of avenues, and the font is as beautiful as the master font, which makes the humble officials feel ashamed!"

His Majesty frowned, obviously surprised that this group of civil servants with their nostrils upturned could say such modest words.

"Then did I pass the exam?" Sheng Hou laughed.

"Pass, must pass!" the civil servant who had previously disagreed with Sheng Hou immediately said.
