"Sir! The time for the martial arts test has passed, so it is not easy to cause trouble!"

Minister of War Ren Xiao took a step forward and bowed, "The civil and military test has been over. Please make sure the cabinet will choose the top scorer! The five armies of our Ministry of War, Shenji, and Shenshu are all waiting for the Lord to announce the results of the second civil and military test!"

Zhang Fu's expression was slightly dark, he glanced at him and said lightly: "Master Ren, you have crossed the line. You cannot mobilize the five armies, nor can you mobilize the Shenshu. Shenshu Camp, Shenshu Camp belongs to the eunuchs to seal the seal. Without the Western King's Jade Seal, who can mobilize?"

Ren Xiao looked at the two brothers Xia Fanghe Xia Caoying. Xia Fanghe Xia Caoying stood among the civil and military officials, without moving at all.

Ren Xiao was shocked and looked at the admiral of Shenji Camp, Ma Weimin. Ma Weimin smiled slightly, but did not make a sound.

Zhang Fuzheng said lightly: "Mr. Ren, don't make a mistake. The Five Military Camps, the Commander Commander of the Beijing Guard, the Commander Commander of the Chief, the Commander Commander of the Guard Commander, the Qianhu Office, the Recruitment Office. All the troops that you seem to be able to control as the Minister of War are dispatched by the cabinet. What you can dispatch is to mobilize the border troops through the Commander of the Fifty Provinces, but the Commander Commander is also controlled by the Thirteen National People's Clan."

He did not look at Ren Xiao anymore, his eyes fell on the young master. The young master knelt on the ground with a expressionless face.

He was originally waiting for the appointment to fulfill the title of top scholar, but Chen Shi, who accompanied the righteousness of heaven and earth, came to shock Xijing and became famous in Beijing, swept away all the reputation and fame he had accumulated over the past few days.

If he cannot defeat Chen Shi, even if he gets the top scorer, he will be said to have not fought with Chen Shi and won the top scorer.

Zhang Fu said righteously: "Young Master, what you want is power and name. Without name and power, what is the use of this top scholar?"

The young master felt anger in his heart and stood up.

Shui Xuanzhi hurriedly shook his head to him and signaled him not to get up.

The young master ignored his sign and turned around. His eyes touched Chen Shi's gaze outside the hall, and his voice was shocked: "Sir, Chen Shi and others fell into the underworld in the imperial examination. Now they have returned alive from the underworld. They have no fault and made merits. They should be Jinshi. I think they should also participate in the palace examination. If they cannot defeat the heroes in the world in this palace examination, I, as the top scholar, will not be worthy of my name!"

Shui Xuanzhi and others gritted their teeth secretly.

The young master should never agree. At this time, civil and military officials should be allowed to argue and delay time. If he delays him for ten days and half a month, Chen Shi's majesty will slowly be lost.

People in Xijing went from admiring Chen Shi to looking at Chen Shi in a straight face, and regarded his righteous act as a topic of conversation after dinner.

At that time, they had all kinds of reasons and means to mess with Chen Shi, and give him the second place, even if they were merciful.

But now the young master said this, which made this matter more variables!

"good!"

Chen Shi said loudly, "Then, I'll wait for you outside!"

Zhang Fu was looking at the other twelve ministers in the cabinet. The ministers hesitated for a moment and each acquiesced. The young master is now in a difficult situation and needs fame. Now that Chen Shi has gained fame, even if he becomes the top scorer, he will be gossiped about. Now that he wants to get fame, he can only defeat Chen Shi and win the top scorer openly.

"A month ago, the imperial examination suffered a drastic change, so that the juren was in trouble and lost in the underworld. Chen Shi led 350 juren to return to Xijing. Cabinet resolution. Chen Shi was selected for the palace examination.

Zhang Fu was walking out of Zhongji Hall, his voice was heavy, and he rumbling over Xijing. "Young Master Ren Mu is the first person in the palace to test the civil and military test, and he has witnessed it all officials, and there is no objection. To be fair, the other 351 Juren should be the first person to decide, and the top scholar with your son Ren Mu will be the first person to decide.

After he finished speaking, the 350 juren outside the hall, including Zhang You, Guo Daozi, Yu Lingzi and others, said one after another: "Chen Shi first! There is no need to showdown!"

Zhang Fu said righteously: "Since that's the case, then Chen Shi will fight against the prince Ren Mu and Ren Mu, who have won three hundred people. Chen Shi traveled a long distance and both Jinshi need to rest..."

Chen Shi shook his head and said, "I don't need to rest."

The young master walked up and shook his head and said, "I don't need to rest."

Zhang Fu turned around and looked around for a while, and smiled and said, "Sir, since both Jinshi said that, then today, let the two Jinshi win the battle outside the Zhongji Hall. What do you think?" The civil and military officials nodded one after another.

Zhang Fuzheng smiled and said, "Since that's the case, let the two Jinshi compete with each other. The scope must not exceed Wenhua, Wuying, Huagai, Zhongji, Wenyuan, Dongge, Justice, Jingsheng, Jianji and other True King Nine Halls..."

All civil and military officials walked out of Zhongji Hall and withdrew from the Jiu Hall of Zhenwang.

Under the Meridian Gate, Eunuch Feng laughed and said, "Sir Chen Tang, are you standing under the Meridian Gate? Are you waiting for the son to be defeated and beheaded outside the Meridian Gate?"

Chen Tang looked as usual and said, "Don't joke with Lord Feng."

Eunuch Feng calmed down his smile and said seriously: "During the examination, you said that the son was not sure about defeating the young master at that time, but in a month, the young master would definitely lose. Are you still so sure?"

"Confirm." Chen Tang said.

The eunuch breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Then, my position as the eunuch in the hands of the seal and the governor of the East Factory will be stable."

When Chen Tang saw the officials walking out of Zhongji Hall, his expression moved slightly and said, "Mr. Feng needs to prepare. When the child fights with the young master, I am afraid the scene is not calm."

Feng Tianhuan was slightly stunned: "What's not calm? Chen Tang, Chen Tang! Where are you going?" He hurriedly turned the wheelchair and saw Chen Tang leave quickly.

"This kid, runs so fast! I wonder if my legs were interrupted by your father? I still ran away..." Eunuch Feng was surprised and muttered, "Strange, it's just a competition for the top scorer, and it won't kill anyone. Why is the scene not so peaceful?"

Suddenly, his heart was slightly trembling, his face was pale, and his hands trembled. Chen Tang quickly came to Chen's mansion.

Chen Shi's wooden car was still parked at the parking place outside the mansion gate, and was staying honestly in the corner. These days, Chen Tang and Heiguo went deep into the underworld to search for Chen Shi's whereabouts. Without taking the wooden car, the wooden car stopped here.

However, Chen Shi made arrangements that every morning and evening, people from Hongshantang would come to feed the wooden cart with strange beast meat, so there was no need to worry about the wooden cart starving to death.

Chen Tang approached, and suddenly the wooden car moved alertly, the frame of the car was faintly cracked, revealing a big, stern mouth, and a red light was revealed inside.

The canopy inserted in the wooden car also turned from a closed state to a stretched state, with light flowing under the umbrella, and the Youquan Dragon Sword shuttled under the umbrella.

"I, Dad Chen Shi." Chen Tang said carefully.

The wooden car frame had big eyes, staring at him, and the red light in his mouth was slightly dimmed.

Chen Tang slowly approached, and he knew that the creations of talismans created by his father were all very strange. Many of the things created by talismans were more like evil spirits and could not be understood by normal people's brains. Especially after these guys absorbed the moonlight, they could easily lose control and turned into pure evil spirits and committed evil spirits everywhere.

He walked up to him, and the wooden cart did not move any further, so he was relieved.

Chen Tang searched in the wooden car for a while, and found the Jade Seal of the King of the West in a pile of miscellaneous items.

Chen Tang was stunned and looked at it several times. He didn't recognize the Western King's Jade Seal, and was not sure whether it was this thing.

This object is so precious. In previous years, Shenji Camp guarded this treasure, but Shenji Camp did not have the right to use it. Only the eunuch in charge of the seal had the right to use it. However, even the eunuch in charge of the seal must have extremely important matters before he can be qualified to use this object.

Sometimes, this thing cannot be used once in ten or twenty years. "My son, it turns out that he is willing to rebel!"

He thought for a while, put the Western King's jade seal back into the wooden cart and walked into the Chen Mansion.

After a while, he walked out of Chen's mansion with a wooden box and walked straight towards the Meridian Gate of the inner city. The wooden box in his hand was not big, about two feet long, one foot and three inches wide, and seven inches high.

It looks ordinary sandalwood, painted with black paint, completely covering the original wood color, and uses cinnabar and blood of strange beasts to draw extremely complex textures on the surface of the wooden box to outline the form of gods and demons.

The box has no lock, only one handle. If outsiders see it, they will definitely not know how to open the wooden box. However, in the eyes of the talisman master who is proficient in the Southern School of Talismanship, this object is an extremely precise lock, requiring professional lock opening techniques. The talisman master who designed this object will add an elusive small structure inside. If the unlocker makes any mistake, the box will eat the unlocker as soon as possible.

As for destroying the box, you cannot get the items in the box. Instead, you will anger the box. The box will turn into an evil spirit and eat the destroyer.

If you have a good strength and smash the box to pieces, you will not be able to get the items in the box. The box will be broken and there will be nothing else except a pile of flesh and blood.

Those who make boxes only need to create another box that is exactly the same. Open the box and the items inside will be there and will not be lost.

This kind of box monster is very popular with the Nanpai Fu Master, so you don’t have to worry about throwing it away. Chen Tang felt much more at ease when he carried this box.

He walked through the Meridian Gate, walked through the Hall of Supreme Harmony, and walked towards the Nine Halls.

The Minister of Revenue Cui Baihe and the Left Minister of the Assistant Jiang Mo came towards each other, and their eyes flashed.

Cui Baihe smiled and said, "Brother Chen Tang, when did you come back? You have not been to court or to the Ministry of Revenue these days. You are guilty of dereliction of duty."

Jiang Mo stared at the box in his hand and said alertly: "What is the box in your hand?" The two of them clamped him in the center, one left and one right.

Chen Tang said lightly: "Are the two adults invited to block me?" Cui Baihe and Jiang Mo were both embarrassed.

Jiang Mo said: "Put down the box and open it. We want to see what is in the box."

Chen Tang said, "I went outside the Ninth Palace to reason. I carried the box, and it was when they were unreasonable and made them calm and reasonable."

Jiang Mo reached out to grab the box: "Leave this item to me for storage!"

Before he could touch the box, Chen Tang had already drawn his sword with his other hand, and the tip of the sword was pressed against his throat.

Jiang Mo smiled and said, "Mr. Chen, you are..." "Ba!"

The sword body slapped his neck heavily, smashing him to the ground, and the sword energy sealed all the acupoints around him, blocking the sky gate, making his soul unable to leave his body.

The big acupoints in his body were full of sword energy, which made him unable to merge, and he was so anxious that he could not faint from this great master in the realm of refining the gods!

Chen Tang returned the sword and said lightly: "Shangshu Cui, you don't have to waste your energy. I have helped you with work for so many years, and the Ministry of Revenue has been well-organized and has no credit and hard work. If you stop me, the subordinates will only be arrogant and let you sleep with him."

Cui Baihe hesitated for a moment and said with a smile: "My name is Baihe, so it is naturally a harmonious atmosphere. Lord Chen has been hiding his edge for a long time, and it may not be a good thing to show his edge today. Since your sword has been unsheathed, I can't stop you. Please!"

Chen Tang carried the box in one hand and passed by him. Cui Baihe's eyes flashed, and he did not dare to take action, so he allowed him to come outside the Ninth Palace.

"Xiao Shi, if you want to be the top scholar and kill the young master, I will naturally support you!"

Chen Tang came to Eunuch Feng and said silently in his heart, "The moment you killed the young master, I will take action with Eunuch Feng and block everyone who took action to stop you!"

Eunuch Feng raised his head, looked at his face, and whispered: "Xiaotang, I always feel that you have something to hide from me. If you tell me the truth, I will die with peace of mind. As eunuchs, we are always worried that we will die in the palace."

"It's okay, sir, it's okay." Chen Tang comforted.

Eunuch Feng always felt that he would die with his eyes open when he stood beside him.

Outside the Nine Halls, all civil and military officials each sacrificed their grand souls and floated in the air to prepare for the battle.

In the Western Capital imperial court, all officials had extremely high cultivation level. Three corpses, god refining, and emptiness were not a few. The souls of all sizes were floating in the air. Some were still hanging behind them, and the souls were hidden in the great realm of voids.

Even several ancestors of aristocratic families had not left yet, and at this moment they sacrificed their souls and watched the battle with a smile.

Their Void Realm is amazing, and often turns into an arc of light floating behind their heads. With a slightly shallow cultivation, the Void Realm is only about acres.

For them, these are just small fights, and it is also fun to watch two little guys fight each other.

"Chen Tang."

Li Yiran, the founding grandfather of the Li family, found Chen Tang, waved to him, and said with a smile, "Today is a big deal for the man. You kid, your son, your son, your Chen Wu, always make me feel worried. You sit next to me and watch the battle, so I feel relieved."

Chen Tang said yes, and the soul was sitting next to Li Yiran with a box, looking quite alternative and out of place.

Li Ganfeng, the founder of the Li family, Ma Jun, and Fei Buyi, the former leader of the Fei family, also sat nearby.
