In the Jinluan Hall, after all the Wuhou supervisors finished answering their essays, they began to hand in their respective examination papers one after another.
Rui Zifan is still the first candidate in the Jinluan Palace to submit his proposal for the palace examination. His face is full of pride. His proposal is worth real money. I don't believe that the monarch will not be happy.
An old eunuch laid down the stone steps, collected his papers, and handed them to the monarch Ling Rui on the throne of the Jinluan Palace, who judged the papers himself.
The monarch didn't have a good impression of Rui Zifan, and originally planned to move Rui Zifan out of the top three in the palace examination, but after reading Rui Zifan's policy, he couldn't help but be a little surprised, and his eyes lit up.
The aristocratic families in the royal city have always been stingy and would not spare any money when encountering disasters.
Rui Zifan was actually willing to take the initiative to donate 30% of the property of the Rui family to provide disaster relief. This move was commendable and could set an example for other officials and wealthy families. The real money and silver that comes out of the competition is much more than those empty policies and articles.
Since Rui Zifan has such a repentant heart, it would not be a bad idea to keep him in the top three in the palace examination.
"Rui Qing has such thoughts and has set an example for all the ministers and the great families. I am very pleased!"
The king nodded happily.
Rui Zifan was secretly happy, knowing that his ranking among the top three in the imperial examination was secure, and he quickly said: "Thank you, Your Majesty! It is my duty to share His Majesty's worries!"
"However, the donations from more than a dozen of you aristocratic families alone may not be able to save this disaster. I am thinking of raising donations from hundreds of aristocratic families in the royal city and many aristocratic families in the ten major counties to relieve the disaster. You guys The Rui family has set an excellent example for other wealthy families. I will entrust this important task to you, and you will persuade all the wealthy families to raise donations! After the palace examination, you will be given a title in the Ministry of Household Affairs, and you will be the Minister of Household Affairs. Let's take care of the fundraising first. How much money have been donated by the major families across the country? Write a list and submit it, and I will reward all the major families who donated!"
The monarch looked at Rui Zifan and said.
Rui Zifan was stunned when he heard this, and couldn't help but groan secretly in his heart.
In order to maintain his ranking in the palace examination, he had to come up with the idea of donating his family wealth. But other aristocratic families don't want anything. It is so difficult to persuade the royal families in the royal city and the counties to provide money for disaster relief. It is definitely a hard job that offends people.
But now at this juncture, he could not give up all his previous efforts, so he could only bite the bullet and agree: "Yes, Your Majesty!"
The monarch finished approving Rui Zifan's policy documents, and then began to read the policy documents of other Wuhou.
Many of Wuhou's policies were not interesting, and they were put aside after a few glances.
The monarch was quite satisfied when he saw that Ling Qingshan's policy, text and memorial were correct. At least he was much more capable than his sons who only fought for power or were idle.
"Qingshan Marquis, you have a good idea. I have ordered you to serve as the minister of the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Households. With my royal decree, you will set off for Donglai County tomorrow to recruit all the large and medium-sized ships in the country and go to the coastal vassal states to collect as many as possible. Rush to buy a large amount of food and come back. In the year of great disaster, there is nothing wrong with having more food. As for the cost of purchasing food, we can draw it from the goods donated by the Rui family and more than ten famous families."
The king smiled.
In the front, Rui Zifan and more than ten Wuhou supervisors donated a large amount of goods. In the back, Qingshanhou took this money and took ships to the coastal vassal states to buy food.
As a king, he accomplished a great thing with almost nothing.
"Yes! Your Majesty, I will do my best!"
Ling Qingshan heard the admiration in the monarch's words and couldn't help but be overjoyed. Donglai County is the largest coastal county and sea port of Canglan Kingdom. It has gathered a large number of sea-going ships from Canglan State. It is the only place where enough sea-going ships can be mobilized to transport food.
Transporting food by land is too troublesome and there are too many checkpoints in various countries. If the relationship between the vassal states is not good, the grain may be directly seized. Sea transportation is much more convenient and has a larger shipping volume.
The monarch put down Ling Qingshan's policy documents, read the policies and documents submitted by hundreds of Wuhou supervisors, and gave instructions respectively.
If you see someone you are satisfied with, you will say a few words.
If you see something you are not satisfied with, you can either just leave it aside without saying a word, or you can make a few criticisms.
The imperial examination policy essay written by Ye Fan was placed last by the monarch.
After all the other Wuhou supervisors' papers had been reviewed, the monarch finally picked up Ye Fan's palace examination papers.
He was looking forward to what Ye Fan would write in the imperial examination policy.
Ye Fan once saved his life and put down the rebellion and conspiracy case of the second prince of Jinluan Palace. In recent months, his reputation in the royal city has been extremely high, and it is difficult for anyone to match him. Yesterday, he also won the first place in the first round of civil and military examinations of the palace examination, and was praised by countless people as a well-deserved first place in the palace examination.
But he was still curious whether Ye Fan's palace examination policy was stunning and shocked everyone, or whether it was ordinary and similar to other Wuhou.
The monarch calmed down and slowly opened the file written by Ye Fan.
His eyes glanced at the first line of writing on it, and his pupils suddenly shrank.
""Kill the Wolf Kou Ce"!"
These four eye-catching characters are clearly the names of Ye Fan's contributions.
The king was shocked.
The name of the Blue Wolf King of the Blue Wolf Tribe in the Lieri Mountains is none other than Wolf Bandit.
Ye Fan actually proposed a plan to kill the Green Wolf King Wolf Bandit in the palace examination policy document!
In the past few decades, he was the first student supervisor who dared to talk about the Blue Wolf Tribe in the Lieyang Mountains in the palace examination papers.
Ye Fan, as a Wuhou, dared to talk about killing the Green Wolf King and the wolf bandits... This is a bit young and frivolous!
The monarch was shocked, narrowed his eyes, and looked carefully.
But the more he looked, the more frightened he became.
Unlike what he imagined, the content of this policy document did not contain the slightest hint of youthfulness, but a complete plan to kill the Blue Wolf King. The paper was filled with cold murderous intent, which made him feel shocked and a little trembling. .
Ye Fan's plan to kill the Blue Wolf King and the Wolf Bandits was not just a casual talk, but a strategy with a certain success rate.
The monarch took a long time to read it, and after being stunned for a long time, he wrote on Ye Fan's file the words "Head of the Palace Examination" and the instruction "Seal it and prohibit anyone from consulting it!"
He didn't want the third person to see the detailed plan of this policy document.
Then he closed the file and put it on the table. His old face looked at the hundreds of Wuhou supervisors in the Jinluan Hall with an expressionless expression.
At this time, there was solemn silence in the hall.
All the Wuhou supervisors were watching the monarch reviewing Ye Fan's policy, and they were carefully looking at the monarch's face.
All the policies and documents in the palace have been approved by the monarch, and only Ye Fan's last policy document is left.
If there are no big problems with Ye Fan's policy, then he will be the leader of this palace examination. But if there is a big problem with Cewen, it is not impossible for the leader of the palace examination to change hands.
"Ye Fan, your article "The Strategy of Killing the Wolf and the Kou" is very good! Unfortunately, I am afraid that I will not be able to wait for the day when you implement this strategy!"
The king said calmly.
All he can do is to let the next Canglan King help Ye Fan complete his plan to kill the Green Wolf King.
As soon as these words came out, all the Wuhou supervisors in the hall were shocked.
"What, Mark actually wants to kill the Green Wolf King?"
"But...what will he use to deal with the Blue Wolf King? This is simply impossible!"
All the Wuhou were shocked.
Although they couldn't see what Ye Fan specifically wrote in the imperial examination policy, the most basic fact was that Marquis Wu would never be able to pay off the Beast King!
Ling Qingshan, Hao Ziming and other martial princes were all anxious. Although the monarch was optimistic about Ye Fan, he couldn't just write random policies in the palace examination!
This palace is trying to answer questions and answers, but it is a matter of national policy and cannot be played at all.
Rui Zifan was surprised and happy, vaguely feeling that this was a perfect opportunity to suppress Ye Fan, and hurriedly said loudly: "Your Majesty, Ye Fan is just a Wuhou, what can he do to kill the Green Wolf King? This is empty talk and harming the country. ! He thinks that he is Gu Hanjian and has a natural heart for martial arts. Can he become the King of Martial Arts? If he also has a natural heart for martial arts, then I have nothing to say! But he is not! We sincerely ask your majesty to think twice and not to do so easily. Use his tactics!"
Gu Hanjian had just entered Canglan Imperial Academy and became a prison student. He was unanimously optimistic about the future King of Martial Arts. However, Guhanjian does not need to participate in the palace examination and can directly break through King Wu in the future.
"Your Majesty, Ye Fan is doing this to harm the country! Your Majesty, think twice!"
Qin Ning and other martial princes suddenly came to their senses and spoke out to persuade them.
However, the monarch glanced at the shocked Wu Hous in the palace, waved his hands indifferently, and said in a deep voice: "Who said that to kill the Green Wolf King, King Wu must take action? It's the same with a Beast King!"
"Beast King?... What Beast King?" "Ye Fan, Mammoth?! Yes... Ye Fan's pet beast, the Mammoth, is of the blood of the Beast King!"
When the princes in the palace heard this, their expressions suddenly became dull.
The excited opponents almost choked.
One thing that many people, even the Wuhou supervisors, have almost ignored is that Ye Fan's mysterious mammoth beast that has barely been seen has the blood of the Beast King level flowing on the beast's body.
Whether Ye Fan can become a King of Martial Arts in the future is uncertain, and no one dares to boast about it.
But there is no doubt that the mammoth can become the king of beasts.
With the talents and qualifications of the mammoth family, becoming a mammoth king would definitely be smoother than the Guhan Sword. Moreover, Ye Fan's mammoth grows much faster than everyone imagined. It is already in the late stage of Beast Lord. It may not take long to break through the Beast King, which is faster than the ancient cold sword breaking through the Martial King realm.
By that time, Ye Fan, who owned a beast king, would have such a high status in the Canglan Kingdom... that he would be directly chasing Wu Wang Bian Herong, not much worse than the king. Moreover, the future Wu King Gu Hanjian will still be Ye Fan's senior brother from Luyang Mansion.
The mammoth is Ye Fan's confidence to dare to say the words of killing the wolf bandits, and it is also Ye Fan's most powerful trump card to occupy a place in the Canglan court. No other Wuhou has such a powerful trump card.
When Rui Zifan, Qin Ning and more than 10 or 20 Wu Hous thought of this, their hearts trembled and their bodies trembled unconsciously. They no longer dared to object even a word.
The monarch officially set the rankings for this year's palace examination.
An old eunuch announced: "This year's Canglan Kingdom palace examination, the leader Ye Fan, the second place Ling Qingshan, Tanhua Rui Zifan. The fourth place in the palace examination Qin Ning, the fifth place Hao Ziming..."
The Canglan Palace Examination finally came to an end.
The final result of the second round of the palace examination was exactly the same as the first round ranking, and there was not much difference.
Ye Fan lived up to expectations and won the first place in this Canglan Palace Examination, becoming the leader of the Canglan Palace Examination.
The palace examination rankings are finalized and announced.
With the announcement of the palace examination rankings, a group of new ministers also took office.
Ling Qingshan, Rui Zifan, Qin Ning, Hao Ziming, etc. have all become deputy chief officers of various departments in the imperial court, temporarily gaining experience.
To everyone's expectation, Ye Fan was not promoted from Tingwei Shaoqing to Tingwei Highness. Instead, he was directly promoted to the Minister of War, one of the nine most important ministers of the imperial court. He filled the vacancy left by the former Minister of War Rui Liangzhi and became one of the top officials in Canglan Kingdom. The highest officer with more than 100,000 soldiers and horses.
This appointment shocked both inside and outside King Canglan's city.
