When the officials came out of Lizheng Hall one after another, they all had smiles on their faces and looked relaxed.

The third alternative classics competition ended perfectly with the victory of Li Xianzi. So far, Jingguo has won two of the three literary tests and won the final victory in the literary test.

The face of the monarch and his ministers was preserved, and the entire palace was swept away by the haze of the past. Although the martial arts test will be held in a few days, it is not a matter of suspense at all. A martial arts competition and a military formation deduction are all things that the military generals should worry about. With the temper of those people, it would be fine if the Qi people lost, but if they won, they would not have to go back.

Li Yi, the son of Chang'an County, who won two key victories for Jingguo, once again broke into the sight of the court officials with an unparalleled attitude.

Needless to say, the last two games, even the first one, if it weren't for the reminder of His Royal Highness the Prince of Jin, the court would have lost face long ago. If you look closely, it was all because of Li Xianzi.

The officials no longer doubted that there were so many talented people in Jing State, why did His Majesty favor Li Xianzi so much, even if he beat the prince, it was just a punishment with a lot of thunder and little rain. Under the situation of obvious decline, he turned the tide with his own strength. Who else in the whole Jing State can do it?

His Majesty's level of judging people is still beyond their reach.

If there was no Shu Wang incident, Li Xianzi's future would definitely be bright, but it's a pity...

The officials of the Shu Wang faction finally no longer simply hated this Li Xianzi. It was a blessing for Jing State to have such a young talent, and it was no longer a matter of personal likes and dislikes.

"Prime Minister Qin, although His Royal Highness the King of Shu and Li Xianzi have always had a grudge, those who achieve great things are never particular about small matters, and must not lose sight of the big picture because of small details." Several officials surrounded Prime Minister Qin and said hesitantly.

"I will inform His Royal Highness the King of Shu about this matter." Prime Minister Qin pondered for a moment and nodded.

After the officials left, a trace of worry appeared on Prime Minister Qin's face.

Is it possible for the King of Shu to put aside past grudges and accept Li Xianzi again according to his personality?

And if Li Xianzi had even a hint of such an idea in his heart, he would not have done such a thing in the palace that day.

Thinking of certain things, a trace of fatigue appeared on Prime Minister Qin's face. He was not in a hurry to leave the palace. Under the leadership of an eunuch, he walked towards a palace somewhere.

...

...

In Kyoto City, it was already a sea of ​​jubilation at this time.

The news from the palace had already spread out. The Qi people lost again. Li Xianzi won two games alone, completely turning the tide and making a beautiful comeback.

The people of Kyoto were very proud and took to the streets, cheering loudly and shouting the name of Chang'an Xianzi, blocking the road. The government had no choice but to send yamen runners to clear the way so that the carriages and horses could pass.

In an extremely luxurious carriage, the third prince of Qi and the old man surnamed Meng sat opposite each other.

"Your Highness, is what Li Xianzi said really true?" The old man surnamed Meng raised his head and looked at the young man and asked. [△网WwW.]

The third prince of Qi sighed helplessly and said, "Although it is embarrassing to say it out loud, this matter is true. Li Yi did not speak nonsense."

"How could it be so?" The old man surnamed Meng frowned.

The third prince of Qi shook his head and said, "Meng Lao also knows that Emperor Wu is the founding emperor of Qi. Since Emperor Wu, successive emperors of Qi have worked hard to govern the country, which led to the current situation of Qi. However, Emperor Wu rose from the chaotic world and gained the world on horseback, so he was naturally violent. At that time, the left prime minister Wei Jing actually wanted to support the Wei family and let Concubine Wei ascend to the throne. So he joined forces with several ministers to falsely say that the harem was in chaos and advised to depose the empress. However, Empress Wenjing was virtuous and kind, and was deeply loved by Emperor Wu. How could he listen to the slander and fly into a rage in court, given Emperor Wu's temper..."

"There were records of this incident at first. After Emperor Wu's death, in order to maintain the face of the royal family, Emperor Wenzong destroyed all the records. Only the royal secret collection has a record..."

The old man surnamed Meng was stunned for a long time after hearing this. Although he had read a lot of books, he could not access the royal secret collection. He thought that the county magistrate Li was just talking nonsense to embarrass him. Now it seems that he is more knowledgeable than he thought.

But he is so young, could he have started reading since his mother's womb?

No longer thinking about this matter that made him confused, the old man surnamed Meng bowed his head and said: "I am incompetent and have failed your highness's trust."

"Lord Meng, you are too kind..." The third prince of Qi State hurriedly helped him up and said: "This is not Lord Meng's fault, it is really that Li County Master..., Alas, if my country Qi has such a talented person, how great it would be?"

He raised his head, and a trace of expectation appeared in his eyes, "The Heavenly Punishment Artifact should not be in the hands of Jing State. If my country Qi can get it, the unification of the world will be just around the corner!"

Then, a smile appeared on his face again, and he said: "However, we have finally gained a lot. I didn't expect that King Shu of Jing State actually had such a grudge against Li Xianzi. It seems that we only need to wait. If we can bring him under our command, why worry about not accomplishing great things?"

Regarding this topic, the old man surnamed Meng did not interrupt again. He pondered for a moment and whispered: "I heard that the eldest prince's people have already chased to Jing State?"

The third prince of Qi State retracted his gaze, sighed, and said: "My royal brother is still worried about me after all..."

"The eldest prince has no tolerance for others, how can he hold the throne? When I return to the country, I will definitely write to His Majesty..."

The two people's voices gradually became quieter, and nothing could be heard from a place outside the car.

...

...

When Prime Minister Qin stepped into a palace, the King of Shu was lying on the bed, holding a book in his hand and reading it intently.

"Does your highness feel better?" Prime Minister Qin walked over and asked.

The King of Shu raised his head and saw the person coming. He immediately put down the book, supported his body with his hands and sat up, and hurriedly said: "Why is Prime Minister Qin here? Come and sit down. Come, serve tea to Prime Minister Qin."

Prince Qin waved his hand, stood by the bed, looked at the King of Shu and said: "Your Highness should know what happened in the palace in recent days, right?"

"How can you not know?" The King of Shu smiled and said: "If I were not ill, I would also like to see what expression the people of Qi had after losing. Thinking of their recent actions in Kyoto and their ending today, I couldn't help but feel happy."

Prince Qin glanced at him and asked: "Then what about the palace? You know, if it weren't for Li Yi, the county magistrate of Chang'an, it would be our Jing country that lost today..."

The King of Shu sighed and said, "County magistrate Li saved the face of our Jing country and is indeed a pillar of the country. Although I have some minor conflicts with him, it is nothing in the face of the righteousness of the family and the country..."

"Your Highness can think this way, and I am very pleased..." Qin Xiang's face showed a trace of appreciation, nodded, and said, "Your Highness, take good care of your injuries, I will leave first."

Walking outside the hall, Qin Xiang took a deep breath. The change of the King of Shu was indeed an unexpected gain for him.

After this incident, although he lost face, it was not without benefits for the King of Shu. At least he has grown up a little and looks like he can take on a big responsibility.

Qin Xiang walked down the stone steps. Inside the hall, the King of Shu still had a smile on his face, but his right hand was tightly grasping the brocade quilt beside him. The veins on the back of his hand were bulging, which was extremely terrifying.

Squeak!

He scratched several long holes on the quilt. Mobile users please visit m.read for a better reading experience.
