Back in the imperial study, Li Chengqian checked the storage ring Tang Xueyan gave him.

Everyone was shocked at once.

Bottle after bottle, all kinds of elixirs are piled up, how rich this is...

With this batch of elixirs, Li Chengqian estimated that they would be enough for his subordinates to use for a long time, and they would also be able to improve their strength very quickly.

After carefully dividing the elixirs, Li Chengqian planned to deliver these elixirs to each outstanding person through the factory guards in Dongchang.

After doing this, Li Chengqian began to close his eyes and rest his mind, waiting for tomorrow to come.

There may be a tough battle to be fought tomorrow, Li Chengqian had some idea.

...

The next morning, the sun hung over the sky early, and the entire Shengjing City was filled with sunlight.

"The king has ordered that the palace examination begins!"

In the political hall, with a shout from Wei Zhongxian, the palace examination officially began.

The nine palace examiners all walked into the political affairs hall with their heads lowered, seemingly obediently.

"Let us meet the king!"

As soon as they entered the political hall, five young men from poor families knelt down and saluted first.

The other four people just bowed their hands and saluted, looking at the four people's faces and not showing much respect to Li Chengqian.

From this, Li Chengqian also understood Changsun Wuji's real concerns.

I'm afraid that if Changsun Wuji kicks these four people out early, the existence behind these four people will definitely take action.

Once the action is taken, the war on the Seven Fronts of the Tang Dynasty was at a critical moment some time ago, so there is no way to deal with the existence behind these four people.

If you think about it carefully, Changsun Wuji's approach was indeed mature and prudent.

It is also the best thing to do after weighing the pros and cons!

"Today in the palace examination, I will only take one test, and that is the word 'loyalty'. As long as you can make me feel your loyalty, I will give you high officials and generous salaries!"

Li Chengqian's face straightened and he said in a deep voice.

"Your Majesty, it's too much to force others to do something difficult. Since ancient times, the royal family has been selecting talents, but I have never heard of any dynasty that wants to test their loyalty in public!"

The one who spoke was Chai Yangbo. He was wearing a green robe today, and his appearance was quite delicate. His cultivation level was at the fourth level of spirit transformation. Considering his age, he was only a hundred years old. With such a cultivation level, he was really pretty good.

Thinking about it, the master behind him must not be a weakling.

Looking at Chai Yangbo's confident look, Li Chengqian was even more sure that the person behind Chai Yangbo was definitely not dead!

Just imagine, if there is no backer behind him, with his cultivation in the realm of transformation into gods, would he dare to question Li Chengqian in the government hall?

"Oh? You are questioning me!"

Li Chengqian's eyes gathered a lot of cold light, and he suddenly stared at Chai Yangbo.

boom!

Two sharp rays of light shot out from Li Chengqian's eyes like lightning, followed by a loud noise.

Chai Yangbo's eyes immediately lost focus, and his eyeballs fell to the ground with a pop, with blood overflowing from both eye sockets.

puff!

Chai Yangbo immediately vomited blood.

How could he withstand Li Chengqian's offensive with his mere cultivation in the Divine Realm?

If Li Chengqian hadn't been merciful, Chai Yangbo would have died with just one blow!

"Li Chengqian! You are so cruel!"

After Chai Yangbo spit out another mouthful of blood, he lowered his head and roared.

"How dare you! How dare you call the king by his name? Come on, take him down quickly!"

Wei Zhongxian, who was behind Li Chengqian, shouted loudly and slapped his palms heavily.

Just hear a bang!

Chai Yangbo's Dantian burst at the sound! He fainted as well!

Li Chengqian looked at Chai Yangbo with interest and had no intention of stopping Wei Zhongxian.

This person really doesn't know how to live or die. I guess the person behind him is also an old guy who doesn't know how to live or die.

Li Chengqian wanted to see if the person behind Chai Yangbo dared to venture into the Tang Palace!

Today, Li Chengqian deliberately opened the formation around the palace, deliberately letting the ghosts behind it sneak in.

By then, he will be able to catch them all in one go!

After waiting for a while, Li Chengqian didn't say anything, and everyone was waiting quietly.

Someone was quietly glancing at Chai Yangbo with different expressions.

Some people are closing their eyes to meditate, such as Xun Yu and other outstanding figures. If the existence behind this kind of farce does not appear, they will not be able to arouse any interest.

"Now, who wants to ask questions about me? Well?"

Li Chengqian glanced at the remaining eight candidates with majestic eyes.

The five poor disciples lowered their heads and did not dare to say anything. They did not have the courage to go against Li Chengqian.

Everyone looked extremely respectful!

Looking at the performance of the five people, Li Chengqian had a rough idea of ​​these five people.

Basically, if these five people survive, only the seventh-rank official will die.

No matter how high an official he was, Li Chengqian didn't want to be appointed to them.

Because, from the previous information, it can be concluded that the talents of these five people are indeed average.

There are more shortcomings than the other four.

Now he is acting so cowardly that he doesn't even have the courage to look at Li Chengqian.

How else could Li Chengqian give them more important official positions?

Hang Kailang, who was born in an aristocratic family, also lowered his head slightly in a respectful manner.

Chai Yangbo has learned from the past and he still wants a better future.

How could you be so quick here?

Zuo Wu and Zuo Fu both had uneasy expressions.

It seems that these two people also have ghosts in their hearts!

After no one spoke for a long time, Li Chengqian spoke again: "So, you don't have any objections?"

"Your Majesty, we two have something to do with each other!"

Under Li Chengqian's strong pressure, brothers Zuo Wu and Zuo Fu took a step forward and bowed respectfully.

There is really no room for them to be disrespectful. They have a vague intuition that as long as they are slightly disrespectful, they will immediately follow in the footsteps of Chai Yangbo!

"Oh? What's going on with you two?"

Li Chengqian's eyes narrowed, and he deliberately used his royal power to oppress these two people to ensure that they did not dare to talk nonsense.

"Your Majesty, the two of us came down from the mountain at the request of our sect. We just want to seek an official position in the Tang Dynasty."

Zuo Wu and Zuo Fu looked at each other, and Zuo Wu, who was wearing black armor, spoke first.

"Asking for an official position in the Tang Dynasty means that you are not really loyal to me? Huh?"

As Li Chengqian spoke, the pressure became stronger and stronger, so much so that Zuo Wu and Zuo Fu were almost out of breath.

"Your Majesty, the two of us..."

Under Li Chengqian's pressure, Zuo Wu suddenly lost his voice. He could only see his mouth moving, but no sound came out.

"What's wrong with you two? Tell me quickly!"

Seeing Zuo Wu lose his voice, Li Chengqian put away some of his momentum at the right time and shouted loudly.

"Going back to the king, we are purely following the orders of the sect. We want to seek an official position in the Tang Dynasty. It is our mission to make good friends with the king!"
