Xia Jiuyuan asked Dian Guangming to tell the outside world that this was an assassination carried out by twelve princes united by various countries in the Western Region. These generals under the Huo family have no doubts!
After all, their Huo family army also killed people from the Western Regions.
Nowadays, it is not impossible for the people from the Western Regions to send assassins to take revenge...
Therefore, the Huo family and all the important officials of the imperial court who were killed hated the people of the Western Regions deeply.
Xia Jiuyuan's proposal is naturally popular with the people.
Little did they know, this was the door to hell that Xia Jiuyuan and Xia Yan opened for Huo Jiajun.
After retiring from the court, Lu Qian looked for Cheng De with a dark face.
Even if he can definitely win chess.
But in the other two rounds, he was also guaranteed to lose.
Not to mention the martial arts competition, he is no match for Xia Yan.
That's a test of eyesight, unless His Majesty is willing to tell him.
However, it is obvious that although His Majesty is unwilling to give Xia Yan the position of Minister of War, it seems that he is even more unwilling to give him...
At this time, Chengde was surrounded by a group of ministers, asking him about playing chess.
Lu Qian saw that Cheng De was not there after a while, so he thought about leaving first.
After returning home, Chengde kept looking for him.
Instead, the former concubine sent a palace maid to deliver the message, which probably meant something like this.
During the competition, Lu Qian can be declared the winner just by letting Lu Qian hold the gun!
Lu Qian suddenly realized that he had a magical weapon.
What a fan of the authorities!
...
Yingxiang Tower, in Wangyue Pavilion.
Xia Yan explained the three competitions proposed by Cheng De.
After listening to Xia Yan's words, Wan Qian sneered and said, "My silly disciple, you have fallen into Cheng De's trap..."
"Master, how could it be a female ganji? I am not very proficient in these three, the last so-called chess. Whether it is martial arts or eyesight...he will definitely lose to me. And that chess, look at him It won't... I won't necessarily lose either... In all three games, he will definitely lose!" Xia Yan said.
Wan Gan sneered, and then said, "I'm afraid you don't know... That Lu Qian has a personal hidden weapon. This hidden weapon is called Suihuo gun... This Suihuo gun is very powerful. It can kill people invisible." ..."
Wan Gan's introduction was very detailed.
He also heard Bai Zhi mention this weapon.
Xia Yan said in disbelief, "Is there such a powerful hidden weapon?"
"Chengde and Lu Qian have a close relationship, so Chengde will definitely help him...how can he help you?" Wan Gan said.
"Then... what should I do? Directly prohibit him from using weapons..." Xia Yan seemed to have thought of a way.
Wan Gan shook his head, then leaned into Xia Yan's ear and said, "I have an idea... Just compare..."
Xia Yan listened to Wan Qian's expression, which became more and more exciting, and then said, "Master, you are still smart... I will follow what you said. Then, isn't he dead?"
Wan Gan smiled slightly and then said, "You can't take it lightly. There are also the rules of chess. You told me... I will practice with you!"
Xia Yan nodded.
...
In the Imperial Ancestral Temple, Lu Qian was lying on a rocking chair, holding a book "The Secret Technique of the Room, One Hundred and Two Moves" in his hand!
This book is a treasure, with both pictures and text.
Lu Qian also discovered it by chance at a roadside stall in Kyoto.
There were two Japanese girls waiting on him.
He lived a very leisurely life...
He had to enjoy these quiet moments.
If I really become the Minister of War in the future, I'm afraid I won't have such leisure time.
While he was talking, the door to his room was pushed open again.
It's Xia Nihuang.
Xiao Anzi said with a bitter face, "Mr. Lu...the eldest princess
he..."
Xia Nihuang saw that Lu Qian was still so leisurely at this time. She seemed to be extremely angry and said to Lu Qian, "Lu Qian, what time is it? You still have time to read here!"
Seeing Xia Nihuang walking up, Lu Qian subconsciously put together the one hundred and two secret techniques in his room and said, "Isn't this relaxing..."
"There are still seven days until the competition... I will ask Yin Yue to come over and train you and teach you some powerful moves..."
"Princess, you should know Xia Yan's skills better than I do. He has been trained by martial arts masters since he was a child. In just seven days, no matter how hard you ask me to practice, I am still no match for him..." Lu Qian said bitterly. Face said.
"Then you gave up?" Xia Nihuang suddenly darkened.
Seeing that Xia Nihuang was about to reprimand her, Lu Qian took out his precious revolver and said, "No matter how skilled he is, can he still dodge my bullets?"
Seeing this, Xia Nihuang seemed to remember that her dark face finally softened a lot...
"Then, are you sure about your chess game? Practice hard... You are underestimated by Xia Yan. His brain..."
"I taught Duke Cheng the chess game!" Lu Qian interrupted before Xia Nihuang could finish.
Xia Nihuang was obviously stunned and looked at Lu Qian with wide eyes...
Lu Qian smiled evilly and said, "How about we give it a try? If you lose, take off your clothes!"
Xia Nihuang saw that Lu Qian was acting dishonest again and said to him, "According to what you said, you are bound to get the position of Minister?"
Lu Qian smiled slightly and then said, "This is natural... Unless His Majesty is cheating, of course. You should know that our Majesty likes to cheat!"
Xia Nihuang said firmly, "If you can win the competition, the position of Minister will definitely be yours!"
Lu Qian smiled slightly and said, "Then don't worry, this position of minister must be mine..."
Seeing Lu Qian speaking so confidently, Xia Nihuang couldn't help but show a hint of appreciation in her eyes.
"Don't worry, you can help me. I will definitely protect Concubine Li, mother and son!"
Lu Qian nodded...
The next few days were very peaceful.
The situation in the imperial court has been completely reshuffled, and Guo Sixin has been promoted to the position of chief minister of the cabinet.
Guo Sixin was reluctant at first, but Xia Jiuyuan invited him several times before agreeing.
He and Xia Jiuyuan also made a three-part agreement that changed the role of the cabinet.
If the cabinet members unanimously oppose it, they may even change the emperor's proposal.
Guo Sixin originally wanted to ask Xia Jiuyuan to retreat when he saw the difficulties. After all, Guo Sixin knew that the cabinet in Li Xiaozheng's hands was essentially useless.
The emperor didn't listen to them at all.
What surprised Guo Sixin was that Xia Jiuyuan agreed without even thinking!
After Guo Sixin became the chief minister, he reorganized the cabinet.
Let the cabinet members completely become people who speak out, have ideas, and stay upright.
Except for Dian Guangming, all the six ministers were replaced.
There is only one vacant position for Minister of War.
Until seven days later, everyone arrived at the Jinluan Palace early.
The Minister of War will be decided today!
Xia Yan saw Lu Qian waiting in the palace early, so he stepped forward and said provocatively, "You eunuch, today I will show you how powerful I am!"
The best emperor master
