No one present understood what Chu Tian said, and Chu Tian immediately explained: "I have already explained it before. The monster I mentioned does not refer to the Queen Mother, but I feel that there is a monster behind the Queen Mother, so I said this, and Eunuch Long
Without knowing it, he decided that I was insulting and calling the Queen Mother a monster. This also shows that in Eunuch Long’s heart, he wanted to insult and call the Queen Mother, but he just didn’t dare.”
Chu Tian's crooked talk made Eunuch Long angry, but the Queen Mother believed it, and Eunuch Long was anxious and scared. He really didn't know what to do.
When Chu Tian saw Eunuch Long's appearance, he knew that Eunuch Long was already in disarray. He only needed to add some fuel and jealousy to get rid of Eunuch Long.
Chu Tian did not continue to explain, but asked Eunuch Long: "Eunuch Long, you said that I don't take the Queen Mother seriously, but do you take the Queen Mother seriously?"
Under this situation, what else can Eunuch Long say? There is only one choice. Eunuch Long said: "My father-in-law must take the Queen Mother into consideration!"
Eunuch Long's answer was as expected by Chu Tian. Chu Tian smiled slightly and said, "But I don't take the Queen Mother seriously!"
"Hiss!" As soon as Chu Tian said these words, everyone present took a breath of cold air, and the Queen Mother's eyes instantly became cold, with a faint murderous intention revealed.
However, Chu Tian hurriedly explained: "The Queen Mother is the mother of the world. I will only take such a great Queen Mother in my heart and not take it seriously. You are the only one who claims to respect the Queen Mother, but in fact, she is nothing more than respecting the Queen Mother."
In your eyes, if you are so vain, what is he but a villain?"
The murderous intent in the Queen Mother's eyes suddenly disappeared without a trace. She loved Chu Tian's heartfelt words from the bottom of her heart.
The other people's faces were also different. Eunuch Long was already ashen, but Chu Jun's face was solemn. He seemed to have some complaints about Chu Tian, while the other candidates secretly compared Chu Tian.
He gave me the middle finger. I despised him but also admired him a lot. This statement was an inevitable trap!
Chu Tian hadn't finished yet, and continued: "I have said before that I have lived through the Book of Changes since I was a child, and I know a little bit about fortune telling. Eunuch Long has a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks. He must be a treacherous and evil person, and his surname is Long.
It is a symbol of the royal family, which also implies that this person is the source of trouble and may rebel at any time!"
"Okay! Stop talking, the Ai family already knows!" The Queen Mother waved her hand to Chu Tian to stop talking, turned to look at Eunuch Long coldly, and then said to the guards outside: "Come here, take this little man
Take him to prison and put him on death row! Qiuhou will be beheaded!"
Eunuch Long was confused for a moment. His feet gave way and he sat down on the ground, his face ashen. When he saw the guards coming in, Eunuch Long regained consciousness a little. He crawled towards the Queen Mother and screamed in a sad voice.
Said: "The Queen Mother! I am wronged! I am wronged!"
But the Queen Mother did not pity Eunuch Long at all. Instead, she kicked Eunuch Long down. The power of this kick was so powerful that even Chu Tian admired him.
Eunuch Long was taken away, and when he passed by Chu Tian, he glanced at Chu Tian. He was no longer as arrogant as before, but there was some regret in his eyes. If he had known this, he would not have agreed to that damn deputy examiner last night.
, helped him frame Chu Tian, and now his own life is in danger
After Eunuch Long left, the Queen Mother asked Chu Jun to determine the top three candidates for the palace examination. Chu Jun agreed and named Chu Tian as the number one scholar in the golden subject, and the wretched fat man as the third best candidate, and the second candidate who wrote poems also became the top candidate.
is the second place on the list
Chu Jun had no choice but to make this decision. Chu Jun hoped to obtain talents for his own use, but whether it was the wretched fat man or the second candidate, Chu Jun did not think they were talents. Only Chu Tian satisfied Chu Jun. Originally
Chu Jun just wanted to let Chu Tian become the number one pick and cancel the number three and second place. However, because of the Queen Mother's presence, Chu Jun had to do this.
After the rankings were announced, the Queen Mother left. Chu Jun left three people behind, and the rest left on their own. Chu Jun asked the three people to go to the minister's study room and write down two pieces of documents for the wretched fat man and the second candidate.
Report to the Ministry of Rites
The wretched fat man was awarded the title of Bachelor of Wenshu Pavilion, with an official rank of eighth rank and a monthly salary of 100 Dan. Although the official position was small, the wretched fat man aspired to an official career and did not refuse. He took the documents and reported to the Ministry of Etiquette.
The second candidate was named Zhisu Neishi Shishi, which is an official position for Zhisu Neishi who is in charge of tax revenue and financial revenue and expenditure. The official position is seventh rank and the monthly salary is two hundred Dan. You can tell at a glance that there is a lot of money in this position.
So the second candidate did not refuse, took the paperwork, and ran non-stop towards the Ministry of Rites
In the end, Chu Tian was left alone. Chu Tian rubbed his hands with some eagerness, imagining the official position he should have. The lowest level was six ranks! He never thought that he would also be an official one day.
However, Chu Jun did not mean to write down the document. Instead, he asked the maids and eunuchs in the study room to go out. After closing the door, Chu Jun let the people behind the screen come out.
The person who came out was Pang Shiyuan. Pang Shiyuan smiled at Chu Tian and then said: "Xiannephew, you really did not disappoint me and became the top scholar in Jinke."
Chu Tian smiled awkwardly. His level was achieved purely by messing around.
Chu Jun sat back on the dragon chair and said: "Pang Duwei, the person you recommended for me is really good. He is both civil and military and will definitely be of use to me."
After saying that, Chu Jun said to Chu Tian: "I heard from Captain Pang that you killed Wu Shun, the fake mother-in-law of Wei State, and then handed over the treasonous secret letter of General Guan Shangwu of Youzhou."
Chu Tian nodded noncommittally, then pretended to be loyal and said, "Your Majesty, General Shang Wu has been collaborating with the enemy and treason for many years. This person must be eliminated as soon as possible, otherwise Chu's border will be in vain."
"Hey!" After hearing Chu Tian's words, Chu Jun sighed heavily, and immediately said: "I never thought that this general Shang Wu is the nephew of the right prime minister of the court, and the right prime minister is
As a confidant of the Queen Mother, if this is not handled well, I will not be able to deal with the small role of General Shangwu. Instead, I will get both you and Lieutenant Pang into trouble. I will never dare to do it easily."
Hearing Chu Jun's words, Chu Tian was extremely sure that there must be a hostile relationship between Chu Jun and the Queen Mother, so he raised his hands and asked: "Your Majesty, I felt that your relationship with the Queen Mother was unusual in the main hall. Can you tell me a little bit about it?
?”
Hearing this, Chu Jun glanced at Captain Pang, and seeing Captain Pang nodding silently, Chu Jun turned to look at Chu Tian and brought those past events to the table.
The previous Chu king had eight descendants, including five daughters and three sons. The eldest and second son were both sons, but they were not liked by the previous Chu king. Although the eldest son was born to the queen, he had bad conduct and was idle all day long.
Indulging in the flowers, life is overwhelming
Although the second child is not like the boss, he has good martial arts skills, but the second child is simple-minded and definitely not a talent for governing the country. Moreover, the second child has no interest in governing the country. Instead, he likes to go into battle and kill the enemy.
The son of Lao Liu was the favorite son of the previous Chu king. He had a keen mind since he was a child. When he grew up, he became even more talented and learned. He also had good moral character and great ambitions. He was a good talent for governing the country.
However, the rule left by the ancient ancestors is to make the eldest son the prince. The previous Chu king did not dare to change this rule set by the ancestors at will. However, if the eldest son is made the prince, the Chu country will have no future. This makes Chu
You are in a dilemma
Not long after, a melee broke out among the seven kingdoms. The Chu State had been weak for many years and the war was very tight. In order to boost morale, the previous Chu king decided to conquer the war personally. He took the eldest son, who was named the prince at the time, and the second son, who was good at fighting, to conquer the war personally.
At that time, Lao Liu was still young, which was the reason why he did not go with him. The previous king of Chu made this decision and let God decide the future of the Chu country. If Lao Dacheng survived the war and was tempered by the war,
I think he will definitely change his habits and abdicate to the boss on the day he returns to the court after victory.
And if the eldest brother unfortunately dies on the battlefield, then God has chosen to make Lao Liu the next king of Chu. After the Chu king returns to the court, he will make Lao Liu the prince and pass the throne to him.
Unfortunately, the previous Chu king and the prince were both killed in battle at the same time. The morale of the Chu army also plummeted. In order to boost morale, the second brother had to take the lead and lead the Chu army to continue to fight against the enemy.
The bodies of the previous Chu Junhe and the crown prince were returned to the court. It was escorted by Pang Shiyuan at that time. After the previous Chu Jun and the prince were buried, Pang Shiyuan took out the suicide note of the previous Chu Jun and dispatched his own troops to protect the sixth prince as he ascended the throne.
, in case someone with bad intentions intends to rebel
The sixth prince is today's King of Chu, but when he became King of Chu, he was only fifteen years old. He was still too young to handle political affairs, so the queen had to temporarily take charge of state affairs.
The sixth prince's mother was only the concubine of the previous Chu lord, and her status could not be compared with that of the queen. However, after the sixth prince ascended the throne, the sixth prince's mother's status was higher than that of the queen. She was immediately dissatisfied with the queen's coming to preside over state affairs, and let her
The son announced in court that his mother would be in charge of state affairs.
The sixth prince was very obedient and announced during the morning court that his biological mother would be in charge of state affairs. The queen had no objection at that time. However, not long after, the sixth prince's mother contracted a strange illness before she could preside over state affairs for a day. Within a few days, she became violently ill.
died, and the power of the government once again fell into the hands of the queen.
After presiding over the state affairs for a period of time, the queen fell in love with the feeling of holding power and decided to make the sixth prince her puppet. At that time, the queen made a major change and replaced the old ministers who were loyal to the monarch.
If you can't accept it as your subordinate, then get rid of it
In less than a year, everyone in the court became the queen's confidants, and the sixth prince suddenly turned into a puppet. Fortunately, some veterans in the court were only loyal to the queen on the surface, but in fact they were secretly helping the sixth prince.
, and let the Sixth Prince grow up
As the sixth prince grew older, he also realized that if he wanted to escape from the queen's clutches, he must form his own force, and more importantly, hold the military power in his hands.
But at that time, the left and right prime ministers in the dynasty were all members of the queen. The left prime minister was in charge of political affairs, and the right prime minister was in charge of military affairs. Most of the entire army of Chu State was in the hands of the queen.
The only troops loyal to the Sixth Prince were the Jingzhou Army and the Yulin Army that the Second Prince took with him when he went on an expedition. However, although the Jingzhou Army was elite, its number of troops was not large, and the Yulin Army also died in the melee of the Seven Kingdoms.
, even if these two teams are added together, they are less than one-tenth of the army commanded by the queen. It is really difficult to compete, so the sixth prince Chu Jun is now so hungry for talents.
