On the second day, Emperor Li Yi and his close ministers arrived at the school grounds early.
In order to prevent accidents, Cao Qingyan arranged for internal machine surveillance experts to surround the entire school grounds with water. All powerful officials in the court who came in had to go through three checkpoints to search their bodies.
As for the commander of the imperial army, Lu Hancheng, he has also secured the perimeter of the palace campus with three levels inside and three levels outside. Once the time is up, no one is allowed to enter or leave.
Ning Wen, Xiang Guotian and their group also came to the school grounds. Xiang Guotian didn't know the inside story and was still arrogant.
When Li Yi saw him, he immediately lost his temper and said coldly: "Master Xiang, today I want to see how extraordinary Zhao Qingye, the legitimate son of the Zhao family of the Jiubian family you recommended, is. If he is really a talent, , I will reward you with it."
Xiang Guotian stood up and replied, his face filled with pride, "Thank you, Your Majesty."
Ning Wen looked at his pig teammate and didn't know what to say.
Looking at Wei Ziya again, Cao Qingyan and these people all had faces as if they were sinking into the water, but their eyes looked like they were looking at fools.
Li Yi deliberately glanced at Ning Wen and the others with his peripheral vision, couldn't help but sneered, and said, "My dear friends, are you all here? Where is Zhao Qingye?"
Xiang Guotian raised his head and beamed with joy. As long as this happened, he was the one who made it happen. At that time, the Zhao family would still not be grateful to him for his gold, silver and beautiful family... Hehe, I get excited just thinking about it.
"Your Majesty, Zhao Qingye is outside the school grounds, waiting for your Majesty's summons."
Li Yi nodded and said with a smile: "It's reasonable and measured. Yes, let him come in. I want to see how capable the talent recommended by the civil and military officials of the whole dynasty is."
The word "skill" has a strong tone.
Xiang Guotian was overjoyed and wished he could invite him in personally, but Ning Wen, an old man, frowned. An indescribable and unknown feeling came to his heart. Why did he feel that there was something in His Majesty's words?
The key is that this attitude is a bit different from usual?
But now that people have arrived, there is no other way.
"Your Majesty has decreed that Zhao Qingye, the legitimate son of the Zhao family of the Jiubian family, should appear in court!"
The voice came out of the school grounds, and then, a young man wearing black embroidery on his face, carrying a long sword at his waist, walked in quickly with steady steps and serious eyes.
When the civil and military officials in the court saw the extraordinary Zhao Qingye, they all nodded and praised him, "Young Master Zhao is worthy of being a descendant of the Jiubian family. He is truly a talented person!"
"That's right, he is worthy of being a member of a noble family, he is indeed amazing!"
"Master Zhao has a bright future!"
"..."
Many ministers started to flatter the Zhao family in advance, hoping to gain a good reputation with the Zhao family in advance.
Xiang Guotian took the opportunity to glance at Wei Ziya coldly, and sneered: "That's right, this Mr. Zhao is not a bit better than the pariah recommended by some people!"
Wei Ziya said nothing, his expression was as usual, but he was sneering secretly in his heart, "Just wait, you won't be able to laugh anymore soon."
Mr. Zhao also maintained his posture and saluted the surrounding ministers. Under the gaze of countless eyes, he remained as calm as water.
It's a pity that Li Yi has seen through him a long time ago.
"Zhao Qingye, the legitimate son of the Zhao family of the Jiubian family, pays homage to your majesty. Long live my emperor!"
Li Yi smiled faintly and said in a deep voice: "Get up!"
"I have heard that the civil and military officials of the entire dynasty are full of praise for you. They say that you are highly skilled in martial arts, and have great military skills and strategies. You are the first among the children of the Jiubian family. Is it true?"
Zhao Qingye lowered his head and did not dare to raise it, and said: "Your Majesty, all of you appreciate me. I am just an ordinary student under your Majesty's rule."
As soon as this statement came out, countless ministers once again praised him.
"Neither humble nor arrogant, well-reasoned and well-founded, he is a talent!"
"This kind of character is really rare!"
"What our Gale Dynasty lacks is this kind of talent!"
"..."
Li Yi could tell from his voice that this person was definitely not Zhao Qingye. He had shown no mercy at that time. Even if Hua Tuo was reincarnated, he would not be able to heal Zhao Qingye's legs.
Now it can be concluded that this Zhao Qingye is someone pretending to be.
Suppressing his laughter, Li Yi suddenly frowned slightly. These bastards were really bold. Is there anything they didn't dare to do? In front of me, even people dare to cheat, I'm really tired of living!
If Zhao Qingye hadn't taken care of it himself, he would have been deceived by them.
Okay, I will continue the show with you and see how you end up!
"Oh, really, then I'm here to test you." Li Yi nodded to Cao Qingyan, who immediately understood and walked over with a horse by his own hand.
Zhao Qingye did not doubt that he was there, got on his horse, took a spear, and drove the horse forward, waving the spear on horseback with unparalleled style, which attracted the applause of countless ministers.
Xiang Guotian took the opportunity to say, "Your Majesty, you see that Mr. Zhao's skills are really impressive right away. The position of Deputy Admiral of the Beijing Camp should also be determined."
Hearing this, many ministers present looked at Li Yi with expectation.
Even Ning Wen couldn't help but stare, his heart jumping into his throat.
"Well, his martial arts skills are good, and he is qualified for the position of deputy admiral of the Beijing camp."
Hearing this, Xiang Guotian could no longer contain his excitement and repeatedly called His Majesty wise.
Ning Wen also secretly breathed a sigh of relief, finally getting through it.
But just at this moment, Li Yi suddenly said: "But why does Zhao Qingye keep hiding his face and refuse to show his true face?"
Ning Wen's heart trembled, he was very anxious, and he quickly walked out, "Your Majesty, Zhao Qingye has not been accustomed to the climate these days, his face is covered with pimples, and he is very ugly. He is worried that he will offend the holy face, so he wears a mask. .”
"Really, but I just want to see what my loyal minister and general look like?" Li Yi smiled meaningfully.
Ning Wen stuttered, his eyes dodge, and for a moment, he didn't know what to say.
But when I turned around and thought, even if it wasn't Zhao Qingye, His Majesty probably wouldn't be able to recognize him.
Zhao Qingye slowly raised his head, cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and his hands were shaking uncontrollably. He took off the mask three times in a row.
At the same time, Li Yi's blazing and deep eyes stared at the other party unblinkingly.
As soon as their eyes made contact, Zhao Qingye suddenly turned pale with shock and subconsciously shouted, "It's... it's you!"
The person pretending to be Zhao Qingye was none other than Huaqiang Laoqi. Although he was defeated by Li Yi, Li Yi did not kill him at all, but let him go.
Unexpectedly, we meet here again.
The atmosphere at the scene solidified instantly.
"You are Zhao Qingye!" Li Yi asked coldly.
"Zhao Qingye" lowered his head and did not dare to respond.
"Reply me!" Li Yi suddenly stood up and shouted angrily, like a thunderbolt from the blue, exploding in everyone's ears.
But his move suddenly surprised the civil and military officials in the court, and they all exchanged glances with each other without knowing why.
Xiang Guotian was confused and said: "Your Majesty, this person is Zhao Qingye..."
"Shut up!"
Li Yi frowned and scolded: "I asked Zhao Qingye, not you!"
Xiang Guotian's face turned red after being scolded, and he stepped aside dejectedly.
But Ning Wen felt something was wrong. Did Li Yi recognize it? It shouldn't be, how is this possible? Mr. Zhao has been staying in Jiubian and has only been in the capital for a few days, so the young emperor has no reason to recognize him.
He gave himself a shot in the arm, walked slowly to "Zhao Qingye" and said softly: "Mr. Zhao, His Majesty is asking you, you just need to answer yes or no?"
"Zhao Qingye" lowered his head deeply and knelt on the ground without daring to move. His throat moved, "Yes!"
Hearing this, Ning Wen breathed a sigh of relief and bowed to Li Yi: "He said he was!"
"Oh, that's right!"
Li Yi raised his thin lips slightly, "But someone reported to me that someone pretended to be Zhao Qingye in an attempt to confuse the public and deceive me."
Hearing this, all the officials present were stunned and surprised. Zhao Qingye lowered his head and trembled in panic.
Before he could speak, Xiang Guotian couldn't hold it in any longer and jumped out directly, loudly accusing without any hesitation, "Your Majesty, it's slander, this is slander!"
"Young Master Zhao Qingye is a member of the Jiubian family. How could he do such a thing? This must be someone who hates that the person they recommended was not selected and deliberately framed him behind his back." As he said this, he glanced at Wei Ziya.
"profound?"
Li Yi slowly stepped down from the throne, paced with his hands behind his back, and walked straight to Zhao Qingye, "Sir Xiang, so you are very familiar with Zhao Qingye. Can you prove that this person is Zhao Qingye?"
Xiang Guotian didn't know it was a trap, so he directly vowed, "Your Majesty, I am willing to use my head as a guarantee. This is Mr. Zhao Qingye."
Li Yi had a strange smile on his face, "Head guarantee, do you take it seriously?"
Ning Wen's face changed in shock. He realized something was wrong, but he wanted to stop Xiang Guotian, but it was still too late.
Xiang Guotian blurted out, "Seriously!"
It’s over!
Ning Wen's expression froze instantly?
Li Yi suddenly shouted, "Okay, bring the people up!"
