"What happened when the lord entered the palace this time?" Seeing Wu Yue's return, Huo Han pondered and asked.

At this time, there were five people sitting in the study room, Wu Yue was in the first place, Huan Han was in second place, Yan Qiao and two men dressed as warriors came down in order.

Wu Yue said, "Your Majesty intends to let me go to Yuan'an Border City to be garrisoned."

"Oh? Yuanan?" Huan Han murmured, his eyes a little slack again.

It was not surprising that Ouhan looked stunned when he thought about it, Yan Qiao said, "Yuanan is located at the junction of the three kingdoms of Yu, Shao, and Jing, and the king sent his lord at this time to prevent war between those two countries. Does it affect our country?"

A warrior next to him said, "Impossible. If it's just defending the city, why should there be so many generals in the country?"

"However, if it is not for defending the city, is the king planning to take advantage of the fisherman and take advantage of the chaos in other countries?" Another warrior also guessed.

Wu Yue didn't speak, just looked at Huan Han.

Huan Han said: "It is obviously unwise to join the battle circle at this time. The king is probably trying to divide the military power of the lord."

Wu Yue lowered his eyes and moved his gaze to the teacup in his hand.

"Isn't it?" Yan Qiao said in surprise, "Dividing the military power of the lord in this extraordinary period? Isn't this self-breaking?"

"It is precisely because it is an extraordinary period that I have the opportunity to take back my military power." Huohan said slowly, "The king is probably preparing for the establishment of the crown prince. Before the new king ascends the throne, he must solve the hidden dangers for him."

Yan Qiao frowned: "Let's not mention the establishment of the reserve for the time being, it is estimated that it will take a few years for the new king to ascend the throne, right?"

Huan Han nodded: "Yes, but this time is the best time to start planning. Now the three kingdoms of Yu, You, and Jing are in fierce battle, and the Qing kingdom is in full swing.

In a short period of time, he will definitely only watch the fire from the other side. In this way, the king has time to slowly divide the power of the lord. "

The rest of the people were surprised, and after careful consideration, they felt that it was indeed the case.

Huohan looked at Wu Yue and continued: "I just don't know whether the king will move the black iron cavalry first or the ordinary troops first."

Wu Yue said: "The king wants Yuya to temporarily lead the black iron cavalry, and allow me to defend 30,000 troops."

Ouhan sneered: "The king is still cautious and didn't move the black iron cavalry rashly. Thirty thousand? That's almost half of the lord's troops."

One of the two warriors said: "With the talent of the lord, 30,000 troops are enough to keep the long-term security, and there is even a chance to obtain more records. How does the king's move weaken the strength of the lord?"

"General Shuoyou, things are probably not so simple." Another warrior said, "No matter whether it is offensive or defensive, the army cannot be without food and grass. As long as you move your hands and feet on the food and grass, the lord will be in trouble."

"In addition," Huan Han added, "it is not good for the development of the fief if the king leaves the fief for too long. This is a good time to accumulate strength, and the lord must not go to the border town."

"But," Yan Qiao frowned, "Once the king makes an order, will the lord still be able to disobey?"

Ouhan didn't answer this question, but turned to Wu Yue and said, "The eldest prince will hold a talent discussion meeting in three days, right?"

Wu Yue nodded.

"Is the lord participating?"

Wu Yue looked at Huan Han: "This king has been in the fief all the year round and has never attended such a gathering. Didn't you and Yan Qiao always handle this matter?"

Yan Qiao nodded: "In the past, the Rongzhen Palace would send one or two diners to participate in the discussion of talents. In Guxi, the reputation of our talents in the palace has never been publicized."

"This is the foot of the emperor, restraint is necessary." Ou Han said, "But this time, it is better for the lord to participate, and to participate with great fanfare."

"Why?"

Ouhan smiled and said, "In order for people to take the initiative to take over the task of Border Town."

Everyone looked at him, but the latter had no intention of uncovering the mystery.

Wu Yue touched the rim of the cup and said lightly, "Just to participate?"

"Of course."

"Okay, this king will go and see for himself this time."

Ouhan bowed: "Don't worry, my lord, as long as you attend this gathering, this crisis will surely be resolved."

"This king believes in you."

Ouhan smiled, and the others looked at each other in dismay, and couldn't help but murmured again in their hearts. As Rong Zhen's first strategist, Ouhan has always been secretive in his work, and often calculated things before others could react. Even Wu Yue didn't necessarily know how he did it.

Ouhan is too self-sufficient. Although he has excellent talents, his unrestrained ways of doing things often do not please the superiors, but Wu Yue has given him a lot of trust. Perhaps because of this, Ouhan is willing to stay here for him. conspiracy.

If Wu Yue was the most ruthless person in Rong Zhen, then Ou Han was the most difficult person to guard against.

"By the way," Yan Qiao suddenly said, "Which talented person does the lord plan to bring with him this time?"

Huohan restored the old monk's posture, and the other two were warriors, so there was no need to think about it. As for Yan Qiao himself, he was good at handling internal affairs, but lacked in talent and learning. Besides, he was the head of the mansion, so it was impossible for him to leave his business and attend any party.

There are only eight diners in the Fuzhong now, and none of them seem to be able to control the scene. It's a pity that this is in moat, if it is in Rongzhen, why can't you find talents?

"Then, let's float the map." Wu Yue's low voice came.

Yan Qiao was stunned: "Fu Tu? My lord, that young man has only been in the manor for a few days, and his talents have not yet been revealed. He is young, is it..."

Wu Yue squinted to look at him, the latter froze for no reason, and hurriedly lowered his head.

Wu Yue retracted his gaze and said indifferently, "A young man who dares to look directly at the king and can talk openly in front of this king, no matter what his talent is, his calmness alone is enough to be commendable."

Yan Qiao bowed her head and said, "Yan Qiao understands."

"Tomorrow, you will inform him, and choose one of the diners. Three days later, you will go with this king to participate in the scholar discussion meeting."

At this time, Mo Fei, who was studying ancient books in the bookstore, didn't know that he was about to officially enter the upper class of the state of Sang as a talented "Fu Tu".

On the second day, Yan Qiao handed over the finished talisman to Murphy. The latter took the dark blue talisman and was delighted that he was no longer a black household, and could finally walk on the street with no worries. Coveted because of his looks.

Mo Fei bowed: "Fu Tu thanked Mr. Yan."

"No, thank the lord if you want to thank me." The word "Shangqing" on this talisman is enough to make any literati ecstatic, but the man in front of him is unmoved, no wonder even the lord On the other hand, there is indeed a bit of temperament.

But what Yan Qiao didn't expect was that Murphy didn't know the meaning of the extra words. Of course, with her naturally paralyzed face, no matter how happy she was, she wouldn't be overjoyed.

Facial paralysis is really a powerful weapon that can make people stay calm and calm like a peerless master...

"In addition," Yan Qiao said again, "the eldest prince will hold a talent discussion meeting in the next two days, and the lord decided to bring you and diner Lu Yan to participate."

"The Talent Forum?" Mo Fei said, "Why did the lord bring me? The time when Fu Tu entered the palace is still young, I'm afraid..."

"This matter is decided by the lord, you should prepare well."

That is to say, it cannot be changed. Murphy murmured to himself, what is this so-called talent theory? The talent exchange conference of this era?

Mo Fei was about to ask about the specific situation of the next meeting, but he didn't want Yan Qiao to leave first.

She was silent for a while, then turned her head and asked Mu Xi, "Mu Xi, do you know the Talent Forum?"

Mu Xi replied, "That's a party that only powerful clans and talented people can attend. This little slave has never seen it before. But..."

"but?"

"The eldest prince and the second prince hold such seminars every once in a while. Xiaonu once listened to the diners talking about it. Each seminar will set up several topics, and then debate or write essays around the topics. You can get different jackpots.”

"Then do you know what topics have been raised in the past?"

Mu Xi thought for a while, and said, "The little slave remembers a few, including 'Jun and Chen Jian', 'Criminal Law Research', 'Mountains and Rivers Zuo Fu', Jie Zi, etc."

Murphy tapped her forehead with her finger. She had just come into contact with the classics of this era, and had basically no knowledge of its knowledge system and various works. Even if she was writing a propositional composition, it would be too unconventional to not cite the sentences of this era at all. What's more, she has to debate with others. If she doesn't even know where the arguments put forward by the other party come from, how can she refute them?

Alas, how did this happen to her? It seems that we can only act by chance, and it is best not to speak if you can't speak.

For the next two days, Murphy continued to browse the ancient books in the bookstore, and now he is worried that it is useless, so keep calm and see the tricks.

Soon, the day of the meeting will come.

There was a long line of carriages outside the eldest prince's mansion, and talents from various clans were invited to enter with their masters or companions.

About 60 people were invited this time, and about 30 talented people actually participated in the study.

It was not the first time for many people to participate in this kind of gathering, so they greeted each other as soon as they entered the hall, and they were quite calm. Before the party starts, the noble officials will rest in the inner hall first, and the talented people will not take their seats rashly. They must wait for the masters to be seated before they take their places.

Not long after, several servants led dozens of nobles to their respective seats, and the talented men who were still chatting and laughing just now returned to their respective masters, and those masters who had not arrived or who had not been accepted by their masters only based on their own reputation. Invited talents will sit a little further back.

"The eldest prince and the second prince are here." The servant reported loudly.

As soon as the voice fell, the hall suddenly became quiet, and everyone bowed their heads and greeted the master.

A few people walked in slowly outside the door. The head of the person was handsome and handsome, wearing brocade clothes, with a gentle smile on his face, walking slowly under the gaze of everyone.

The man who came in was equally gorgeous, but a little less gentle and a little more arrogant than the former, and there was a sarcastic smile on his heroic face.

Then came several scribes, who took their seats with the two princes.

The eldest prince Li Chen looked around and said, "Everyone, please sit down."

The crowd sat up straight.

"This time, it is a new round of scholars' discussion meeting. I still remember the previous time. Many celebrities fought with each other. Second, show your talents.”

Everyone complied.

After being polite to each other, Li Chen smiled again: "This time there are still four questions, the first question is..."

Before the words were finished, a servant hurried in and reported, "Your Highness, Your Highness, King Rong Zhen is here."

"Wu Yue is here?" Surprise flashed in Li Chen's eyes, and the rest of the room also whispered. Party!

After being surprised, Li Chen was overjoyed and immediately asked someone to invite him in.

On the other hand, the second prince Li Xiao's expression changed slightly, and his heart became suspicious.
