Chapter 260 This king intends to appoint Xue Bangyan as the Minister of War
Tian Xiangguo looked at Xue Peng. He didn't expect that Xue Peng would have the ability to break his ninth game.
This ninth endgame was set up by him with great effort back then. I don’t know how many chess masters couldn’t sleep for days or nights, but now, in just a few days, they have been broken by this kid.
He is so mentally and capable at a young age. If he is tempered, he may be able to bear great responsibilities. However, his identity is too sensitive and he does not know what his mind is, and it still needs to be tested.
At this time, the female official next to her said at the same time, "Xue Peng, Qingcheng, break the nine games."
After the female official shouted, the fragrance had just burned out.
Among the remaining twenty-five people, only Ji Ye barely broke the seventh game.
The chess game was removed, and the sharp voice of the fat and white old man in the hall sounded again, "Crown Prince Jiang Xuan, Qingcheng Xue Peng, Wangcheng Ji Ye stepped forward."
Jiang Xuan, Xue Peng, and Ji Ye took a step forward at the same time and bowed.
Looking at the three people below, King Wen stood up with a smile, lifted up the bead curtain in front of him, and looked at Jiang Xuan and said with relief, "No, good, I am worthy of being my son, with the style of my king back then. I announced that this year's top scholar is the prince with the pseudonym Li Tong."
"Thank you, Father." Jiang Xuan blushed. All the results of the top scorer were water, but he had no choice but to take it.
At this moment, he recalled the words of Uncle Tian a few days ago, "Since ancient times, in front of the royal family, there is no affection between brothers and sisters. Think of your sister, your sister, and your mother. If the eldest prince becomes the king, will he spare you? No, no, with your eldest prince's nature, you will only kill you completely."
He remained silent.
"Uncle Tian has told you three times. Uncle Tian is not for you or for your mother. Uncle Tian does this for the people of the world. Although the eldest prince is talented, he is too warlike. He is suitable to be a general who expands territory, but what he needs to govern the country is to make the people stable. He will never understand this, nor can he do it. Once he becomes king, he will inevitably be in a state of war. The people of Dazhao will fall into dire straits. When he is arrogant and fights everywhere, it will be the day when my thousand-year foundation of Dazhao is destroyed."
"Xiao Xuan, although your martial arts skills are far less talented than the eldest prince, you have some benefits. You are approachable and willing to accept loyal advice. Just like your father back then, you are less courageous than the king back then. You can't be cowardly anymore. Your father and I are old and can no longer suppress the eldest prince. When the court is in the future, you will see what the situation is in the royal court now. Then you will understand."
"Uncle Tian and your father have chosen an arm for you, that is Xue Peng. Xue Peng is an extremely intelligent person with a clean origin and is related to the Supreme Sect. You need such a person."
"He assists you, just like Uncle Tian assists your father back then. However, the difficulties you face are much greater than those facing Uncle Tian and your father back then. However, Xue Peng's talent is much better than Uncle Tian."
Jiang Xuan repeatedly recalled his uncle Tian's words in his mind. He was not stupid. Although he didn't say it, he clearly saw what the eldest brother did in recent years. He understood that the eldest brother was seizing power and he never thought of becoming the king. But now, whether it was for the sake of his sister, sister, mother, or those who supported him, he had to stand up and stand in front of the eldest brother.
However, Brother Wang is a hundred times better than his martial arts. Now most of the civil and military officials in the royal court support Brother Wang. Can he beat Brother Wang? He feels that he has no chance. It seems that he feels warmer in his heart.
Because he knew that with Brother Dai's cunning, he must have understood that he was at an extreme disadvantage, but even so, he still chose to break the deadlock and help him.
Jiang Xuan looked at Xue Peng beside him and was moved, "Brother Dai, you are Jiang Xuan's brother Dai in this life."
Xue Peng bent slightly, and he didn't know whether his choice was right or wrong today. Perhaps, there was nothing right or wrong about this, just move as you like.
In his opinion, he had already fallen into a crucial chess game with the eldest prince or the Xiangui. This is a great advantage and the key to winning the game. I hope it will not be discovered too soon.
Xue Peng was thinking, King Wen had already said again, "Xue Peng, the second place in the big exam."
Upon hearing this, Xue Peng hurriedly said, "Thank you, Your Majesty."
"Ji Ye, let's take a look at the big test."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
King Wen said, “Let’s just stay calm!”
"Thank you, the king." Everyone said respectfully at the same time when they heard this.
The three of them stood up at the same time. King Wen glanced at the three of them, and finally coughed lightly, looking at the Grand Highway of Tian, "Captain Tian."
Tian Xiangguo made his debut, "I am here."
"As a rule, the top three in the palace examination should be assigned official positions. According to the wishes of the prime minister, what official positions should be given?"
Tian Prime Minister said slowly without panic, "According to my Dazhao etiquette, the prince can only listen to politics in the court and learn to govern the country. Now, although the prince is underage, he has already passed the top scorer. His talent and strength are the best choice. My ministers think that the prince should not serve in the army. He can listen to politics in the court in advance and assist the prince in governing the country."
Upon hearing this, the king looked at the civil and military officials and said, "What do you think of your family?"
Although the Prime Minister Tian is old, he can't be a prime minister for a few years. However, since the old Prime Minister has spoken and the prince is still the nominal prince, he can't change anything when he goes to court one year in advance.
At this moment, all the ministers said, "I will follow the proposal and let the prince rule the government in the court and assist the king in governing the country."
"I'm going to discuss it."
King Wen nodded after hearing this, "Okay, from today on, the prince will be in the court and participate in the political discussion."
After saying that, King Wen stopped at Xue Peng and said, "Xue Range won three consecutive years, but unfortunately, he lost to the prince in the last game. Xue Range and the prince can be regarded as my two-god prince. I think that he will also be given a great appointment to Xue Range. Minister of War, isn't you a shortage of a minister? According to my king's opinion, I will accept Xue Peng as the minister of the Ministry of War and assist you in managing the Ministry of War."
After hearing this, the Minister of War hurriedly stood up and said, "Your Majesty, no, no, no, no, the Minister of War is the right hand of the minister. You need a veteran who has been fighting for many years to be competent. Although Xue Bangyan is a talent, he lacks the qualifications for training in the army. How can he be the Minister of War? If a young boy is the Minister of War, the generals in the army will not be convinced. You must not!"
"This is not allowed, that is not allowed. Do you still need to ask the general's opinion?"
When the eldest prince heard this, he hurriedly said, "My son is not afraid, but Secretary Ji said it well. It is indeed not appropriate to appoint a young man as a minister."
"Oh? That general thinks that any position of Xue Bunyan is suitable?"
