February 15th! Zhendongcheng!
The imperial examination in the Eastern Fiefdom has officially entered the grand examination.
This is the first joint examination in the Eastern Fiefdom in four years. There are six thousand people from thirty-six cities, all of whom are the most elite talents selected at all levels. Those who take the martial arts test will take the written test today on how to lead the army. Those who take the literary test will need to take the test today. Strategies for governing the country!
Six thousand people, verified early, entered the huge examination room.
Outside the examination room, there were a large number of soldiers guarding the area to prevent any noise. The huge examination room is divided into two sides, each with a desk. On the desks, the names and exam numbers of each candidate have been labeled.
It was presided over by three highly respected elders of the Wang family.
Six thousand candidates walked to their seats one after another. This time, they chose to take the exam outdoors because they were not well prepared for the first exam. However, there are advantages to being outdoors. People watching from a distance can fully supervise the exam. There will be no fraud in the first meeting.
"Did you see it? These six thousand people will all become high-ranking officials in my eastern fiefdom in the future!"
"It's such a pity that I also took the exam and failed!"
"This group of people is going to jump over the dragon gate today. I heard that these people are going to fill the positions of officials under Captain Pang!"
"Isn't there still a city lord? Can you become a city lord with just one exam?"
… … … … …
… … …
…
There were voices of envy and jealousy among the people. However, this cannot hinder the mood of the internal candidates, because, for the sake of the fairness of this imperial examination, all previous major cities have conducted public assessments in this way, without the possibility of fraud, and it also tempered the candidates' psyche.
An elder of the Wang family looked at the six thousand candidates, who were solemn.
"During the examination, no noise is allowed! Except for those who want to hand in papers and raise their hands, no other actions are allowed! Start now!" Na Zonglao shouted.
"Crash!"
The candidates who were originally motionless opened the papers on the table one after another and began to read carefully.
----------
Dongfang Wangfu, in a valley.
Yu Yan, Wang Zhongquan, and Jumen looked at the more than a hundred people who had Pipa bones locked in front of them.
"Six Martial Saints, 100 Martial Sect Realms? Taiwei Pang is really willing to spend money!" Wang Zhongquan narrowed his eyes.
"General Manager, you killed all the members of the Six-lineage Wang family, will there be no problem?" Jumen asked worriedly.
"Kill the traitor! What's the problem?" Yi Yan said disdainfully.
Yi Yan has the same attitude as Wang Zhongquan, anyone who betrays the prince should die, no matter who he is!
Jumen nodded.
"Ember, in fact, if you want to kill these prisoners, just kill them! Why do we have to escort them back?" Jumen frowned.
Yi Yan was silent for a while: "Do you know how my former Sirius camp grew?"
"Oh?" Jumen looked at Yu Ember in confusion.
"Kill the bad and keep the good! The wolves in the Tianlang camp are all killed. Originally, we were not the same tribe, but as long as you are strong enough and tolerant enough, you can become stronger!" Yi Yan said solemnly.
"You mean, you want me to conquer this group of people?" Jumen asked in surprise.
"Why not? The prince is more open-minded than you and me. At first, we wanted to eat the prince, Juque also wanted to harm the prince, and even the Holy Son Sixin also wanted to kill the prince. How did the prince do it?" said in a deep voice.
Jumen was slightly startled. That seems to be the case.
"If we subdue this group of people, it will be of great benefit to our Dongfang Palace!" Yu Yan solemnly said.
With the addition of six martial saints and one hundred martial sect realms at once, the strength of the Dongfang Palace will definitely rise to the next level. Yi Yan thought so, Wang Zhongquan and Jumen nodded.
"Bah! You want us to surrender to Wang Xiong? What a dream!" A Martial Saint with his pipa bone locked looked disdainful.
Yi Yan smiled coldly. If he couldn't conquer it himself, it didn't mean that the prince couldn't conquer it. From now on, it would be up to the prince to do it. Don't bother yourself.
"These people are all subordinates of Taiwei Pang. Will Taiwei Pang give up?" Jumen asked worriedly.
"What does Taiwei Pang's attitude have to do with us? If Taiwei Pang sends people to attack, the big deal is that we will cut off the heads of these prisoners in advance. Anyway, we can't let Taiwei Pang get any benefits, we will beat him to pieces!" Embers! He said with a ruthless look on his face.
Wang Zhongquan nodded: "It doesn't matter if Taiwei Pang makes any moves. I just hope it won't be today. After all, the examination room next door to the palace is currently conducting the examination!"
"Will you try?" Yu Yan and Jumen looked at each other with concentration.
Both of them understood that Wang Xiong had put a lot of effort into this trial. There is no room for error.
It's a pity that what everyone was looking forward to didn't come, but something came.
"Report! Chief steward, it's not good, it's not good!" A servant ran over eagerly.
"What's wrong?" Wang Zhongquan asked confused.
"Pang Taiwei, Pang Taiwei has led an army to surround Zhendong City. There are two million people! An army of two million!" the servant said in panic.
"Two million troops? They surrounded Zhendong City and you came to report?" Wang Zhongquan's expression suddenly changed.
"They came too fast, in such a hurry. When we saw them, it was already too late! There was no warning before!" the servant said anxiously.
"Bastard! Captain Pang is so desperate that he's going to rebel?" Wang Zhongquan said angrily.
"Come here for these six great martial saints?" Yu Yan's face darkened.
"No, they are under the banner of King Qin and Lord Qing!" the servant said eagerly.
"King Qin? Qing Jun's side?" Everyone's pupils shrank.
----------
Outside Zhendong City!
"boom!"
There was a loud noise, and the city gate was blasted open.
Mainly, no one expected that a mighty army suddenly appeared here. When the city gate guards saw it, they immediately ordered the city gate to be closed, but it was too late. A group of Wuzong realm rushed to the door and slammed the door open. .
As soon as the gate opened, a large number of troops poured in. He beat back all the few guards and seized the city gate.
"We are waiting for the army to come. King Qin and King Qing are on your side. Anyone who dares to stop him is a treacherous traitor or evil spirit. Kill, kill, kill!" The army that rushed into the city shouted loudly.
Not far from the city gate.
Taiwei Pang was wearing a cloak, riding on a big horse, looking coldly at the gate of Zhendong City in the distance.
"Zhendong City? Nothing more than that!" Taiwei Pang said with a sneer.
Behind Lieutenant Pang, a group of generals and officials followed. Among them, there are some city lords from the Eastern Fiefdom. At this moment, everyone stared at Zhendong City in the distance.
"Lieutenant, this time, all of our thirty-six cities are almost in full force. Because they are the army of the Eastern Fiefdom, there is no early warning in the four cities. But if we come here like this, will...!" A city lord Somewhat worried.
These people are all officials of Pang Taiwei's faction. As Taiwei Pang led his troops to attack Zhendong City, although he had made up his mind before, he was still a little scared at this moment.
This is tantamount to rebellion!
"Everyone, at this point, why are you still hesitating?" Pang Taiwei looked at the officials and generals.
"We...!" Everyone was silent for a while.
"Everyone knows that you are very close to me. The fact that you are here today proves this point. Everyone thinks that you are my people. But now, you have seen, what is the purpose of Wang Xiong's three decrees? "Pang Taiwei said solemnly.
"Three political orders?" Everyone's expressions darkened.
"The first step is to be tax-free for one year and cut off our financial resources! The second step is to be promoted to a noble title and an official position! Haha, your rights have been tied up, haven't they? Even your cronies are eyeing you. Chapter 2 Three Ways, wide open Enke! This is already obvious. Wang Xiong wants to recruit talented people. What is the purpose of recruiting talented people? Don’t you know yet? Or are you deaf? This is something that has been spread all over the world, don’t you know? "Pang Taiwei said coldly.
"In order to prepare for our dismissal, and to replace us with new officials for the imperial examination!" a city lord said with a ferocious expression.
The faces of all the officials suddenly darkened.
"You want to give up everything you have? Do you want others to take your place? You have to know that when your power is gone, even if you are rich in the world, many people will come back to kill pigs for you! Come on! At that time, being able to save one's life was already a matter of great luck. What is more, it was confiscating the family and exterminating the clan. Is this what you want? Why are you still hesitating?" Pang Taiwei sneered.
"No, we can't let them do this!" All the officials suddenly said with ferocious expressions on their faces.
"So, we have to clean up all the treacherous villains around Dongfang King, and bring peace to the Eastern Fiefdom. We want to make Dongfang King understand that we are the most important people in the Eastern Fiefdom! As for everyone else, they are all sycophants! " Taiwei Pang shouted.
Taiwei Pang's intention is very obvious, kill everyone around Wang Xiong, and then take Wang Xiong hostage and the emperor to order the princes! When the time comes, just let Wang Xiong be a puppet prince, and we will still share the power below.
All the officials felt ups and downs after being told by Captain Pang.
Take a step back, confiscate your family and exterminate your clan! Take a step further and get promoted to a higher position!
At this moment, who dares to back down? To retreat at this moment is to become an enemy of everyone here.
This was Taiwei Pang's last strength. This time, Taiwei Pang caught Zhendong City off guard. This opportunity must not be missed, and it will never come back!
"The lieutenant is right, we listen to you!" A group of officials immediately shouted.
"Okay, then follow me to the east city of Zhendong City. King Qin will be with you! Put an end to this imperial examination farce!" Taiwei Pang said with a glare.
"King Qin, please come to your side!" All the officials shouted.
"Boom!"
The large group of people rushed towards the city, and Taiwei Pang's eyes showed determination. Because Taiwei Pang also understood that he had no way out at this moment. If he succeeded this time, he could even change the pattern of the eastern fiefdom.
One general's success and ten thousand bones withered! Captain Pang wanted to kill all the important officials around Wang Xiong. Regardless of whether Wang Xiong was in the city or not, he would be alone and could only be a puppet.
The rebel army entered the city, and the city suddenly fell into an atmosphere of great panic.
----------
Baizi Desert, the old Eastern Palace.
Wang Xiong and his party have arrived outside the old Dongfang Prince's Mansion and are now running towards Zhendong City.
"Your Majesty, something is wrong. Look, there seem to be many troops entering Zhendong City?" Sixin suddenly changed his expression.
"Zhendong City was destroyed? So quickly? How is it possible?" Juque also said in surprise.
"There aren't many dead bodies under the city. It's obvious that someone is working inside and outside! Haha, Zhendong City? Wang Xiong, your Zhendong City is nothing more than that! Haha!" Zuo Baifeng laughed.
Wang Xiong looked at Zhendong City in the distance with a gloomy face: "Let's go back to the city!"
