In the palace of the Wangting, twenty-seven candidates looked at each other, and they felt a little clearer about the current situation of the Wangting.

Nowadays, even the kings can hardly suppress the general. The future royal court will definitely be the royal court of the Marquis of Wuting.

Ji Ye and others raised their mouths slightly. When the general became the king, they could all become high officials.

Jiang Xuan's face looked ugly, and his fists were clenched. He was born in the Wang family. His masters had long taught him that father and son were brothers and sisters in the royal family.

In the past, Jiang Xuan couldn't listen at all. It was not until in recent years that the eldest brother's attitude towards him became more and more cold and his distant intention became more obvious that he gradually realized that now in the court, he saw his eldest brother force his father so much. While he was resentful Jiang Lie, he knew more about the words of the masters.

At this time, he understood the words of the father, "The father is getting older, I am afraid he will not be able to protect you, mother and son in the future."

He finally understood why his father had to arrange a fake identity for him.

Xue Peng glanced at him and saw that the situation in Wang Ting was very subtle.

Reading Taoist Zang and historical allusions over the years also made him realize that the royal city is now in a turbulent period of change of royal power.

This is a danger and an opportunity. If he can seize this opportunity, he may have a place in the royal court for a short time.

While Xue Peng was thinking, a palace maid had already come over and arranged twenty-seven candidates to sit down and set up a chessboard in front of everyone.

At this time, the fat and fat old man beside King Wen shouted, "Dear candidates, you are facing the same chess game as the same incense stick. Whoever breaks the most chess game will be the top scorer this year."

At the moment Xue Peng looked at the first chess game in front of him, Xue Peng was stunned. Xue Peng's heart was beating wildly in this chess game. He couldn't help but secretly glance at King Wen on the throne and the top civil servant Tian Xiangguo.

For a moment, Xue Peng's heart was ups and downs and he thought to himself, "Maybe it's just a coincidence."

Seeing that others had started to move the chess pieces, Xue Peng also started to move. In a blink of an eye, the first game was broken.

The second game is broken, the third game is broken

The more broken the more, the more shocked Xue Peng was.

In just a short time, Xue Peng had already broken seven games in one breath.

Looking at the eighth game in front of him, a burst of sweat spilled out of Xue Peng's forehead, and his heart was beating violently. These eight games of chess are clearly the chess game he broke in that simple courtyard a few days ago!

It turned out that Lao Wang was acting in the past, and his purpose was to do this chess game.

But why did he do this?

Xue Peng's mind was running quickly, and in an instant, Jiang Xuan's smiling face appeared in front of him.

Xue Peng couldn't help but look at it, and saw that Jiang Xuan, who was not far away, had already broken the eighth game and was breaking the ninth game.

In an instant, he fully understood that Lao Wang was paving the way for his son, but why did he pull himself in?

Xue Peng's hand holding the chess piece trembled slightly. He vaguely felt that since he came to the tribute courtyard, he had been in the torrent and in the eyes of the storm of the storm of the royal power.

On one hand, there was a powerful prince in the court and the prince, and on the other hand, there was a fledgling prince. The king and the prime minister asked him to break the chess game, and in the end he also set up a chess game that he could not break, which was obviously because he was afraid that he would not stand out, and at the same time he gave him restrictions so that he could not surpass Jiang Xuan.

All of this was planned in advance!

Xue Peng pinched the chess piece in his hand, and sweat fell down his forehead. He glanced at the others. Many of the others had broken five games and were breaking the sixth game.

Xue Peng understood the intention of the king and the prime minister, because he was attracted by his potential and wanted to cultivate him into Jiang Xuan's right-hand man to compete with the eldest prince.

However, at this moment, the decision is still in my hands.

If you choose to exit this game, you just need to stop moving the pieces.

However, this is equivalent to rejecting the "good intention" of the king and the prime minister. At the same time, he offended Ji Ye and others. After the palace examination, if he wants to save his life, he must leave the center of the vortex in time.

But, if this is the case, how can I do what I promised Master Lu and how can I do what I promised Youlian?

Xue Peng looked at Jiang Xuan. Although Jiang Xuan was a little heartless, he was kind-hearted. At that time, as the prince, he had no airs. He could be brothers and brothers with him, and could be beaten by Erhu without relying on the power of the king. There were only a few such people in the world. If he could be the king, he would be lucky for the people of the royal court.

In Xue Peng's view, the great prince's power is now piled up with the blood and lives of millions of warriors. If such an ambitious person becomes the king, he is afraid that the entire royal court will fall into dire straits.

The sweat on Xue Peng's forehead continued to fall, and in an instant, thousands of thoughts flashed through his mind. He thought carefully about what Tian Prime Minister said when he played against Tian Prime.

"Young man, did you create the three foreign laws?"

"Although it's a small fuss, it's also beneficial to the royal court."

"Young man, you are too determined to kill."

Xue Peng thought repeatedly, and recalling the serious and upright face of the words, he gave Xue Peng the feeling that the Prime Minister should be devoted to the country, but he did not like to kill. Therefore, in the eyes of Prime Minister Tian, ​​the eldest prince is definitely not a good candidate to inherit the throne.

And today's palace examination must have been a drama played by these two cunning old people.

Xue Peng held the chess piece, looked up slightly, and looked at Tian Xiangguo. At this time, Tian Xiangguo's pair of deep stars were looking at him. His eyes were extremely complex, threatening, and resolute, and there seemed to be a trace of helplessness that he could not understand.

Xue Peng took a deep breath. Whether it was for his family, Master Lu, or the people of Youlian, it seemed that he would choose to stand on Jiang Xuan's side. Besides, the stinky brat screamed for so long, and he couldn't bear to let him face the tiger of the eldest prince alone, instead of the group of wolves he waved.

Of course, the most important thing is that the legs are on your body. If you want to leave, who can stop it? Let’s go through the current barrier first!

Thinking of this, Xue Peng began to move the chess piece, and in just a few steps, he broke the eighth game. At this time, the time for a incense stick was almost burned out, and the rest of the people, even Ji Ye, had only barely broken the seventh game.

And at this moment, a female official in a corner of the hall shouted, "Li Tong in Yancheng broke the nine bureaus."

Xue Peng couldn't help but look at the female official who called Li Tong, it was nothing but Jiang Xuan.

King Wen said happily, "Come on!"

Jiang Xuan immediately stepped forward a few steps, "Son minister, Jiang Xuan, have met his father."

"Jiang Xuan?" King Wen looked at Jiang Xuan with a look of surprise for a while, then scolded, "Why are you here?"

Jiang Xuan said, "The son's minister left the palace privately, and his pseudonym was Li Tong. He took the immortal exam and asked his father to forgive his crime."

King Wen laughed and said, "What's there to blame? I'm worthy of breaking nine games in a row. It's not bad, so stand aside."

As he said that, King Wen turned his eyes to Xue Peng. The Prime Minister touched his beard and stared at Xue Peng's chessboard. Seeing that Xue Peng broke the eighth game, the two of them showed joy on their faces, and they couldn't help but look at each other, thinking of their past.

Seeing this, Xue Peng smiled slightly. Since he had already chosen, let's give these two old men a little more surprise. Xue Peng did not stop after breaking the eighth game. Finally, he used a few steps to break the ninth game.

Tian Xiangguo's eyes suddenly widened. In the ninth game, this was a game he set up specifically to suppress this kid. He did not have the mental strength and overall view that was far beyond ordinary people, so he could not imagine breaking this game.

Tian Xiangguo's eyes flashed with brilliance, "It's really surprising. I'm looking forward to your performance more and more."

The poor immortals are noble
