now.
Xia Chuanqiu's face was full of constipation: "Your Highness, don't think that this Grand Master doesn't know that the pair of stone lions in front of the East Palace Gate are evil!"
"You must have used witchcraft on the pair of stone lions, which is why you repeatedly used them as bets to win gambling battles!"
"I will not be fooled!"
"Chicken-hearted!"
Xia Tian said in a disdainful tone: "As expected, he has grown old and become less courageous!"
"Teacher Xia, these rich and powerful people, knowing Gu's will, dare to collude with officials from the DPRK and the Central Government to suppress poor candidates and those from humble backgrounds. Isn't it because of Taishi Xia's contribution?"
"nonsense!"
Xia Chuanqi's pupils shrank: "Your Highness, do you have any evidence?"
"Not now!"
Xia Tian stared at his pupils, murderous intent burst out: "But there will be!"
"Grandmaster Xia, I have been working tirelessly to prepare for the war in the coming year with the courtiers. I am gathering people's hearts and gathering the fate of the country. If you dare to hold me back, if I am caught with evidence, I will kill you with my own hands!"
Xia Chuanqi didn't show any weakness and said word for word: "Then it depends on Your Highness the Crown Prince... whether you have this ability!"
The atmosphere was tense instantly!
Emperor Xia was a little surprised!
The prince's forbearance is very similar to his. Usually, the feud will not be completely broken until the end!
Does he really want to kill Patriarch Gu Xia?
Xia Chuanqi, this old guy, is a little strange!
Could it be that the two of them still have a grudge that he doesn't know about?
Right now.
"See Your Majesty!"
Zang Yi appeared, bowed at the door of the courtyard and said: "Your Highness, everything is ready, do you want to start the rescue operation?"
Xia Tian stood up and said in a deep voice: "Start taking action!"
"yes!"
Zang Yi turned around and said to the Huangzhou archer behind him who had already drawn his bow fully and had an arrow on the string: "Give the signal and start taking action!"
"yes!"
The archers let go.
"Swish swish..."
The sounding arrow flew into the void with a sharp sound, and the sound spread far and wide. After spontaneously igniting in the void, the fire became even more eye-catching!
Immediately afterwards.
"Swish swish..."
With the Imperial Academy as the center point, waves of sounding arrows flew into the sky, resounding throughout the entire capital, causing the capital to tremble, until sounding arrows flew into the sky on the outskirts of the city, shaking the entire suburb!
At this time, countless elite black-armored soldiers, experts from the Criminal Department, and experts from the Imperial City Department were seen inside and outside the Imperial City.
They kicked open the doors of each house and fired deadly arrows at the strong men armed with sharp blades.
"Who are you?"
The strongmen were horrified and turned around one after another, trying to kill the candidates behind them!
But it's too late!
"Puff puff......"
Crossbow arrows were shot from the roof, into the strongmen's Baihui points, and penetrated deeply into their bodies, ending their lives!
There are also many cowardly strong men who dropped their weapons and squatted on the ground with their heads in their hands, escaping the sniper attack and becoming prisoners!
now.
Those trapped candidates were hopeful. Looking at the black-armored soldiers of Huangzhou, the experts from the Criminal Department, and the experts from the Imperial City Department who were charging in, they tentatively asked: "Who are you?"
"People from the imperial court!"
There is always a general of the Huangzhou Army whose face is covered with blood, but his smile is gentle and soothing: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince sent us to rescue you!"
"His Highness wants you to enter the examination room!"
"Your Highness wants you to have a safe exam!"
"You're safe!"
Suddenly.
"Woooooooo..."
Countless poor candidates and candidates from humble backgrounds burst into tears!
"too difficult!"
"It's too difficult to take this imperial examination!"
The general of the Huangzhou Army understands the mood of the rescued candidates, and waits for you to vent your emotions before saying: "Let's go!"
"Your Highness is sitting in the examination room. From now on, no one can hurt you!"
"If you can reach high school, you can enter the imperial court and serve as officials. Your Highness will be delighted!"
"It doesn't matter if you don't have high school. His Highness has prepared the expenses for you, and also prepared a carriage and escort for you. He will send you home safely!"
"Woooooooo..."
Some candidates shed even more tears, knelt on the ground, kowtowed towards the East Palace and said, "Thank you, Your Highness, the Crown Prince!"
"We will do our best to live up to your expectations!"
Not long after.
Countless carriages carrying candidates drove quickly to the Royal Academy, where examination equipment was already prepared!
now.
In front of the side courtyard of the Royal Academy.
Zangyi stood at the door of the courtyard, watching the secret reports coming from everywhere, broadcasting one by one: "The candidates were successfully rescued in the Sun Family Courtyard in the Northeast, no one was injured or killed, our people are protecting the candidates coming to the examination room!"
"Executives were successfully rescued in Liujiazhuang outside the city. No one was injured or killed. Our people are protecting the candidates coming to the examination room!"
"The candidates were successfully rescued from the Qian's cellar in the center of the city. No one was injured or killed. Our people are protecting the candidates as they come to the examination room!"
Every one of them is good news!
Emperor Xia felt relieved and refreshed after hearing this!
Xia Chuanqiu's face was gloomy!
Finally, Zang Yi finished his announcement: "Your Majesty, Your Highness, the operation to rescue the candidates was a complete success. No candidates were injured or casualties. They are all on their way to the examination room!"
"very good!"
Emperor Xia's face was filled with excitement: "Well done, Prince!"
"As expected of my prince!"
Grand Master Xia Chuanqiu said with an ugly face: "His Highness has already planned a bet with me. He really has ulterior motives!"
"Hehehe..."
The third prince seized the opportunity and sneered: "Didn't the Grand Master say that the Prince's younger brother is immature and not worthy of supervising the country?"
"A slap in the face now?"
"Does it hurt?"
Xia Chuanqi: "..."
At this time.
I saw the flash of wisdom in Xia Tian's eyes: "Send the signal and start executing the second step of the plan!"
"yes!"
"Swish swish..."
Rows of loud arrows were fired from the Royal Academy, transmitting orders to the distance. The situation was exactly the same as before, causing the whole city to tremble!
The third prince was very curious: "Brother Prince, what are you going to do this time?"
"Clean up the imperial examination environment!"
Xia Tian's tone was full of murderous intent: "Let those who should not enter the examination room get out, and let those families who secretly oppose the imperial court disappear completely!"
"After today, within the empire, no matter rich or poor, as long as you have talent, you will be able to get ahead!"
At this time.
In the examination room.
I saw the guards of the East Palace rushing into the examination room, their swords flashing with cold light, and the generals comforted them: "All candidates, don't panic, we only arrest those who suppress poor candidates and candidates from humble backgrounds. Your Highness has an order to cancel these people's imperial examination qualifications and escort them out of the examination room. We’ll handle it after checking!”
"Bang bang bang..."
The candidates who participated in the suppression collapsed to the ground one after another and were taken away by the guards of the East Palace!
Other candidates warned themselves...if they ever gain power, they must not do anything to suppress the candidates!
Never do it!
at the same time.
Inside and outside the imperial capital, countless powerful families were broken into. The Imperial City Department, the Criminal Department, and the East Palace guards arrested people according to the roster and sealed their doors, and began to clean up these vicious families!
The major families in the imperial capital once again warned their clansmen that they must never make mistakes, never go against the imperial court, and never go against the will of His Highness the Crown Prince!
Speaking of which, everything is easy to say!
This is exactly what you want in summer!
now.
In the side courtyard of the Royal Academy.
Listening to the report of Zang Yi's actions, the more Emperor Xia thought about it, the more wonderful it became!
The prince is worthy of being his prince!
sharp!
Next to him, Grand Master Xia Chuanqi’s stiff face was even more ugly!
He stared at Xia Tian, his eyes flashing with dangerous light!
finally.
Emperor Xia couldn't help but asked curiously: "Prince, where are the test questions you asked?"
"Can I take a look first?"
