Imperial Palace, Humble Administrator's Palace.
After Lin Beichen left, a person walked in from the side door of the hall.
The four wrinkles on his forehead are clearly visible. Who else could he be if he wasn't the Prime Minister Zuo Luyi
"Did you hear everything?"
The Human Emperor of Beihai still looked at the direction Lin Beichen left without moving his eyes.
"Everyone heard it."
The left minister bowed.
The previous conversations between the Beihai Emperor and Lin Beichen had obviously fallen into the ears of the Left Prime Minister in some way that Lin Beichen was not aware of.
And this was tacitly approved by the Beihai Emperor.
The relationship between the monarch and his ministers was not as wary and confrontational as outside rumors. Instead, it was like two old friends who had a clear understanding of each other, with a very calm and tacit understanding.
"This boy is very rude to me. He is much more unruly than his father."
The Beihai Emperor sighed with emotion.
Prime Minister Zuo nodded with deep sympathy: "In the entire Beihai Empire, there will never be another person who dares to use such a tone and posture to talk to Your Majesty."
The Human Emperor of Beihai smiled, turned back, sat on the throne, and said: "But the more he is so generous and disrespectful, the more I appreciate him and the more I trust him."
Zuo Xiang continued to nod in agreement and said, "Because Lin Beichen is a person without ambition."
The Human Emperor of Beihai smiled slightly and said: "But why do I think he has great ambitions?"
Such a comment would mean a huge crisis for any minister.
But the expression on Zuo Xiang's face did not show any signs of disturbance.
He said slowly: "I was wrong. Lin Beichen has ambitions, but his ambition has no conflict with Your Majesty or the Beihai Empire. I can see that Lin Beichen still has a strong sense of identity with the empire. Otherwise, with his greed for life and fear of death, he would never put himself in a dangerous situation and accept the challenge of Yu Shibei, the Condor Shooting Man, to participate in an uncertain life-and-death battle."
"It's rare that you, an old fox, can say so many nice things for others."
The Human Emperor of Beihai was in a surprisingly good mood today and made fun of the left prime minister.
But the Prime Minister Zuo said seriously: "That's because there is usually no one worthy of having a good word for him."
This evaluation is quite high.
But the Beihai Emperor also agreed.
"I originally thought that even though Lin Beichen was extremely talented, he had the skills of Lin Tingchan.
Holding something in his hand, he came to the front of the steps, raised his hands high, and said: "Your Majesty, this is the edict just sent from the Tower of Heaven and Man, saying that the assessment method for the initial evaluation of the empire's rating has been determined."
The Human Emperor of Beihai raised his hand to take a picture, took the imperial book in his hand in the air, and slowly unfolded it.
He smiled and said while watching: "As expected, considering the time, the assessment method should be decided. This time... Huh?"
Halfway through his words, the smile on his face suddenly solidified.
Seeing this, Prime Minister Zuo suddenly felt a bad feeling in his heart.
He coughed slightly and tried to ask: "Your Majesty?"
The Human Emperor of Beihai frowned and read the contents of the edict in silence. Then he raised his hand and sent the edict to the left prime minister through the air, saying: "Read it yourself."
Prime Minister Zuo picked up the imperial edict and only read a few dozen words. His expression gradually stiffened, and he said with an expression of disbelief: "How could this happen? The one chosen in the preliminary evaluation this time turned out to be [Battle of the Kingdom of Heaven]." The pattern? This..."
[War in Heaven] mode is a very distant memory.
This is a mode that has not been truly activated for hundreds of years.
Its core is completely different from the previously expected category of 'literary examination'.
It's a complete martial arts test.
"And it's still level three difficulty."
The Human Emperor of Beihai's eyebrows were already frowning tightly.
Among the ten preliminary evaluations of Empire Rating, eleven were literary tests.
Why did it turn into the ancient and rare [War in Heaven] mode this time
What on earth was going through the mind of the proposition officer who determined the questions for this exam
Compared with the literary test that comprehensively assesses and evaluates a country's comprehensive national strength, this [War in Heaven] is also within the scope of the question bank, but it focuses on assessing the top military combat power, which is one-sided and full of contingency. It is an outdated model that has long been buried in the dust of history.
What idiot dug this pattern out of the pile of old papers from history
Does he have shit in his head
For a moment, the monarch and his ministers looked at each other speechlessly in the Humble Administrator's Palace.
This is really unexpected.
Completely different from what I imagined.
In this way, wouldn't everything that the left prime minister has worked so hard to prepare in the past few months be in vain
In the end what happened
