Knowledge and swordsmanship?
Ying Yu was suddenly stunned.
In the past, there had been many court examinations, but he had never been summoned.
Even if the First Emperor doted on him, he knew that he didn't have much talent. If he summoned him, wouldn't he be embarrassing himself in public?
He didn't care if it was embarrassing or not.
Over the years, Ying Yu had long since stopped caring about the ignorant opinions of others. He didn't care about how others looked at him, and just quietly became a salted fish young master.
However, they were going to the Imperial Palace tomorrow, and that would not only embarrass him, but also make the First Emperor lose face and damage the prestige of Great Qin's royal family.
There was something wrong with this Dao Emperor Token!
No matter how he thought about it, the First Emperor would never slap his own face.
What was going on?
Just as Ying Yu was feeling puzzled, someone had already stepped into the hall.
When he saw that the person who had come was not the commander of the Central Carriage Prefecture, Zhao Gao, but a slightly unfamiliar Imperial Palace attendant, Ying Yu began to mutter in his heart.
Something was wrong.
Now that Great Qin had just been unified, Zhao Gao was at the peak of his power.
Logically speaking.
Zhao Gao should be trusted by the First Emperor, and he should be the one to deliver the imperial orders related to the Imperial Family.
Why was there a sudden change this time?
There were many suspicious points. The more Ying Yu thought about it, the more suspicious he felt. It was better not to go to this examination!
Seeing that the other party was curtsiing.
He nodded lazily and directly evaded.
"Yes, I understand."
"However, I have never participated in such matters. Father also knows that this time, it's better not to go like in the past.”
Who knew that just as he finished speaking, the person actually laughed awkwardly.
" Fourteenth Young Master is wise…"
"This is His Majesty's golden order. His Majesty once said that all the young masters must not use any excuses to avoid it. Everyone must rush to the palace tomorrow, including you.”
Even he was no exception?
Ying Yu was even more surprised when he heard this.
Not only did someone else come to pass the exam, but he also specially emphasized that he had to participate. The whole thing was unusual.
This order was simply illogical!
From the civil and military officials to the commoners, who didn't know that the fourteen young masters of Great Qin only knew how to eat, drink, and play? They probably couldn't even hold a sword properly, let alone sword techniques.
Was there a need to test him?
Could it be that the First Emperor still had expectations for him?
He was already so idle, but the First Emperor still hadn't given up. This was really pitiful.
Ying Yu was getting more and more confused. He couldn't figure out what the First Emperor was thinking.
But the emperor's decree has been issued.
There was also a servant waiting in front of him, so he could only respond.
"Alright then, I'll take the exam tomorrow.”
As soon as he finished speaking.
The chamberlain immediately heaved a sigh of relief. After repeatedly flattering him, he respectfully left the hall.
The butler was also overjoyed, and his eyes were filled with anticipation.
" Congratulations, Young Master! Congratulations, Young Master!"
"His Majesty specifically said that you must participate in the examination, which means that His Majesty still has extremely high expectations for you. As long as your performance is acceptable, it will definitely make Dragon Heart happy!”
"If this continues, even if…"
Before she could finish her excited words, Ying Yu's laughter interrupted her.
"Come, come, come. Continue playing the music and dancing!”
In the blink of an eye, the hall returned to its previous joy.
The butler was stunned, and the anticipation in his eyes instantly disappeared.
On the other hand, Ying Yu was still smiling.
He seemed to be enjoying the song and dance, but in fact, his thoughts had wandered far away.
He knew what the butler was going to say.
At most, he wanted to use this examination to gain the First Emperor's recognition with his outstanding performance, and then gain more power and power. He might even fight for the position of the Crown Prince in the future.
Unfortunately, this was just a fool's dream.
Ying Yu knew better than anyone else that the time was not ripe yet.
The power he possessed was far from comparable to the other young masters. If he were to rashly reveal his talent, he would definitely be targeted by someone with ill intentions.
At that time, not to mention fighting for power, there would probably be endless trouble every day.
Even though he had many inheritances and it was not a problem for him to protect himself, as the saying went, it was easy to dodge an open spear but difficult to guard against an arrow in the dark. The hidden forces of the imperial court were not so easy to deal with.
Now, the only correct choice was to quietly accumulate strength.
As for tomorrow's exam…
No matter what, he could not show any abnormality.
Not only could he not show his talent, but his performance had to be more mediocre than before.
After figuring out everything, Ying Yu waved his long sleeves!
"Men, bring ten more jars of good wine!"
The banquet became more and more joyous. The butler could only leave silently. With a helpless and lonely expression, he sighed silently outside the hall.
Sigh…
Young Master was indeed hopeless. Even the First Emperor couldn't help him up.
……
In the blink of an eye, it was already dawn.
The Great Qin Dynasty Conference had already begun.
In Xianyang Palace, the First Emperor sat on the dragon throne and listened to the ministers 'discussion. He didn't say much, as if he was absent-minded.
Below grade-9.
The civil and military officials stood on both sides, and the atmosphere was also a little strange. Very few people stepped forward to discuss, and they were all very cautious.
As the saying went, there was no wall in the world that could not leak.
The news of Fu Su being dismissed from his post yesterday had already spread in secret, causing the officials to constantly guess.
In addition, Zhao Gao was also inexplicably alienated, making the officials feel like they were walking on thin ice.
The officials standing in the hall were all pillars of the Great Qin Empire, and their awareness and vision were far beyond ordinary people. Just by hearing the rumors, they could sense that something was wrong.
It seemed like the royal court was about to stir again.
In this short night, countless people tossed and turned in bed.
In such an atmosphere, the court meeting seemed a little sloppy. On the surface, it seemed as solemn as before, but the officials were somewhat absent-minded.
Even Fu Su and the important officials who were standing at the front were feeling nervous.
What did the First Emperor want?
Until the court session ended.
The First Emperor was respectfully escorted away by all the officials. Zhao Gaotong passed on the imperial order that he had just learned of not long ago!
"Your Majesty, you are going to Lanchi Palace with all the officials!”
"Summon all the princes to meet and accept the examination!”
A melodious voice rang out in the hall, and the eyes of the kneeling officials froze!
