It was approaching noon.
In front of the palace of Prince Qin.
Countless students gathered here, but as soon as they arrived, rumbling sounds could be heard on both sides of the street.
The sound of neat infantry running filled the whole place!
With the clash of armors, within a few moments, a large number of Qin troops had put the palace under martial law.
A general strode up to the students, glanced around, and shouted:
"What do you want to do!? Do you know where this place is!"
Such a regular army, the students couldn't help but swallowed when they saw this, but soon, someone had the courage to say: Remember it on your mobile phone in one second 『→m.\B\iq\u\g\\o \m』Provide you with wonderful\novel reading.
"I have been wronged! I want to complain to the king!"
"That's right! I have been wronged! I want to complain to the king."
As soon as someone shouted, everyone immediately started to raise their arms.
When the general saw this, he was furious and immediately put his hand on the hilt of the sword at his waist:
"Bold! The land of the royal family! How can you let others make such a noise!"
Following his actions, a large number of Qin troops immediately raised their halberds.
ah! ? When the students saw this, they were inevitably frightened and took a few steps back.
But then, they all knelt down in unison and started shouting in unison.
Why do you have injustice in your heart?
What kind of country is unfair in appointing officials, and so on, and so on...
The scene was noisy.
When the general saw this, he was about to give an angry order, but at this moment, the female officer Chu Ning hurriedly walked out of the palace, walked quickly to the general, and whispered something in his ear.
The general knew that she was a female officer and would nod from time to time when he heard her whisper.
After he finished speaking, he faced the students again, coughed and said:
"You students, don't make trouble here. If anything happens, Wang Ting will handle it on his own, and there will never be any injustice in officialdom."
Obviously, the higher-ups have sent word that these students are not allowed to be harmed.
After Chu Ning finished delivering the message, she also returned to the palace.
But the booing at the scene did not stop at all.
Immediately afterwards, not long after, the ministers of the Qin State began to wear official uniforms one after another and entered the palace from here in a hurry.
Soon Liu Yuzhi also appeared. Before entering the mansion, he couldn't help but glance at the students who were stopped not far away, and said to the general:
"These students are all talented people from all over the Qin Kingdom. They must not be harmed by force."
"Yes, Prime Minister, don't worry. I understand your humble position." The general quickly returned respectfully.
"Oh, things are getting serious." Liu Yuzhi sighed again, shook his head and walked into the palace.
I don’t know how many officials came here, one after another, in an endless stream.
Seeing the ministers walking in a hurry and in a panic, the students stopped shouting and began to whisper among themselves.
There is no doubt that this must be an urgent order issued by the King of Qin to convene all ministers for a meeting.
In the palace of King Qin.
The ministers had already knelt down to salute, lined up on both sides, and bowed slightly.
In the middle, Li Zhengfang stood there, his head lowered and his shoulders lowered.
A roll of bamboo slips was thrown from top to bottom, hitting him right in the body.
Li Zhengfang suddenly trembled and fell to his knees on the ground, his butt raised high, and he did not dare to pick up the bamboo slips on the ground.
The other left and right ministers all knelt down and said in unison: "Your Majesty, please calm down."
"Calm down!?" Xiao Yuan shouted loudly, then slapped Wang An hard, couldn't help but stand up, pointed at Li Zhengfang who was kneeling below, and said angrily:
"Such a big thing! I made you do it like this!"
"Come and tell me! In our country of Qin, there are only two places: Qin and Shu!"
"The great... great king Rongzhen..."
Li Zhengfang said in a trembling voice, then raised the sleeves of his official uniform, wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, knelt there and said: "The thirty scholars admitted are all minor ministers and subordinate officials. They were selected after careful consideration and assessment." The selection is determined, and it is really based on the ability, the king is aware of it..."
"What a talent!" Xiao Yuan almost laughed out of anger, and said even more angrily: "Don't tell me! There is no student from the north who is as talented as Qin Shu!"
"You think! This king doesn't know!"
"It's all the ministers in my court, there are no high-ranking officials from the north!"
"Everyone present! Either come from Sichuan and Shu! Or come from Qin!"
"Your Majesty, you are a high-ranking minister! You are making regional differences! Aren't you using your power for personal gain?"
He shouted fiercely, and everyone in the civil and military court knelt on the ground, not daring to express their anger, and they were all as silent as cicadas.
Li Zhengfang even said in a trembling voice: "Your Majesty, please calm down. Your Majesty, calm down your anger. How dare I use my power for personal gain..."
"Shut up!" Xiao Yuan was furious. The jade beads on his forehead trembled and he pointed at him and said, "Do you know! I want to kill you with a knife now!!"
ah! ? After saying these words, Li Zheng was almost paralyzed with fear. Cold sweat had already soaked his back, and his body could not help but tremble slightly.
"This king has the responsibility! It is the responsibility of the useful people!"
Xiao Yuan glared for a week and continued to shout: "But the same is true for everyone present!"
"The Prime Minister leads hundreds of officials, does he have any responsibility?"
"Does the Yushifu have any responsibility?"
There is no doubt about his royal power. After being shocked and shouted, he was so angry that all the ministers in the court knelt on the ground and lowered their bodies.
Any of these people would be regarded as supreme beings among the people outside, but in front of Xiao Yuan, they all remained silent.
After shouting fiercely, Xiao Yuan took a deep breath, calmed down, and then shouted: "Here comes someone!"
Hearing this, Li Zhengfang, who was kneeling in the middle, suddenly tensed up and his heart rose to his throat.
Soon, a group of forbidden soldiers walked in, and they were carried into groups of two, carrying baskets of sealed silk books and placed them in the hall.
These are all test papers for students.
There were so many students taking the exam this time that it was unimaginable. When the papers were piled up, Xiao Yuan immediately pointed and said:
"This is for me to review! All the ministers, starting from the Prime Minister! They are here to review the students' examination papers!"
"When will the trial be over! When will we leave!"
"When it gets dark, I will ask someone to light the lamp for you!"
Under the king's order, the ministers did not dare to say anything. They immediately responded in unison: "I obey the order."
"Hmph!" Xiao Yuan shook his sleeves and left angrily, leaving behind all the civil and military officials kneeling in the hall.
After he left, everyone straightened up, but they were still kneeling there, not daring to stand up.
Some people grinned and said: "This, this, this, what should I do..."
"Oh Master Li, you have killed us..."
Li Zhengfang had a cold sweat on his face. He couldn't help but approached Liu Yuzhi and said in a trembling voice: "Xiangguo, please save me for this matter..."
"You!" Liu Yuzhi pointed at him complainingly.
"This, this, this, I didn't expect that things would develop like this. These thirty scholars are indeed well-deserved." Li Zhengfang said repeatedly.
When Liu Changqing, who was not far away, heard this, he sneered: "Huh! Some people are really stupid!"
