It was originally a good celebration banquet, but his ministers suddenly left half of the people. Emperor Yan was now in a very unhappy mood.

Zhu Jiu did not recommend her own people to fill these vacancies at this time, and Emperor Yan did not ask the cold minister for any remedies. She was not in a hurry, but said to Emperor Yan: "Your Majesty,

Due to the war with Xuanyuan in the past two years, the imperial examination in our country has been postponed for a long time. Perhaps now is a good time to launch the imperial examination."

The Ministry of Civil Affairs has always been responsible for the imperial examinations, and the people in the Ministry of Civil Affairs are Leng Xiang.

It's just that the group just now has already dethroned the Minister of Personnel. Now the position of Minister of Personnel is vacant, and the Minister of Personnel has made good achievements.

After her reminder, Emperor Yan gradually laughed when he thought of this incident, and said relaxedly: "Well, what Aiqing said is true. Let's leave this matter to the Minister of Civil Affairs. Where is Chen Qing?"

Chen Qing, the minister of the Ministry of Personnel, was the son of his elder brother Zhu Yan.

Zhu Yan has been rooted in the official department for many years, but because of the cold-faced people who guarded him tightly and he could not act rashly, these talented people have been buried until now.

When Chen Qing was singled out by Emperor Yan, his hands were trembling as he saluted with excitement.

Sure enough, Emperor Yan took one look at him and saw that he was well-behaved and smart, so he left the imperial examination to him.

When Leng Xiang was about to say something, Emperor Yan looked at him with a half-smile but not a smile: "Leng Xiang, what do you think? It's time for more fresh people in the court."

It was because of his words that Leng Xiang felt a chill running down his spine and felt like he was being beaten.

Yes, because those old faces in the court have already committed crimes in front of the emperor, and it is almost impossible for them to be reused by the emperor.

For a moment, he gritted his teeth and could only lower his head and say yes. After a few words of agreement, he retreated to his position under the action of Emperor Yan.

Just looking at the scene of Zhu Jiu and Emperor Yan talking and laughing happily from a distance, he almost broke his teeth with hatred.

Unexpectedly, he failed to harm Zhu Jiu this time. Instead, he lost so many important chess pieces. How could he swallow this bad breath?

Zhu Jiuke really deserves to die!

Seeing Zhu Jiu becoming more and more powerful, a coldness flashed in Leng Qingxiu's eyes.

Then he raised his head, stood up and smiled at Emperor Yan: "Your Majesty, since the misunderstanding has been clarified, General Zhu is innocent, and today is a celebration banquet specially held for General Zhu, I wonder what reward you plan to give to General Zhu? My maid, etc.

People are really curious."

The person speaking was from the younger generation, the juniors of Emperor Yan. Leng Qingxiu had a high prestige among this group of juniors. In addition, before she got married, she was well-known in the circle for her good temper and close sister, so there were many people.

Willing to agree with her.

Many young faces stood up and smiled at Emperor Yan and said, "Yes, Your Majesty, we also want to see what rewards there are!"

"General Zhu has made great achievements this time, so the reward must not be small, right?"

"Yes, it would be great if I could become someone like General Zhu in the future and be reused by the emperor!"

Seeing that his daughter actually helped Zhu Jiu speak, Prime Minister Leng, who had always been scheming, couldn't help but frown and glanced at Leng Qingxiu.

But he saw Leng Qingxiu looking at him with comfort in his eyes.

As the two looked at each other, the tacit understanding between their beloved daughter and their father came to the heart of Prime Minister Leng. He gradually understood. The man who had been quiet just now also stood up with a smile and looked at Zhu Jiu: "Your Majesty, what I said is absolutely true. It's just that

The great general who protects the country is already a first-level official, and if he gets higher up, he may only be able to make General Zhu a prince."

"Prince?"

Emperor Yan seemed to think this proposal was a good one, and he didn't care whose hands the country of Yan would fall into. As long as it was not trampled by the Xuanyuan Kingdom, it would be okay for Zhu Jiu to protect the country.

Then he smiled and said: "My dear, I have already thought about the reward for you. The late emperor once established the title of a first-class marquis of the country, but no one in the court has been able to hold a title comparable to this title in recent years.

Military merit, so this title has been idle..."

Before he finished speaking, Xuanyuan Che also turned his gaze to Zhu Jiu with a look in his eyes.

Once she is named the Queen of the Zhenguo, she will occupy half of the country of Yan, and she will be with Xuanyuan.

War is imminent.

Emperor Yan looked confused, but he didn't expect such careful calculation.

He couldn't help but clenched his hands and lowered his eyes slightly.

In his selfish opinion, if Zhu Jiu wants to be the Marquis of the Zhenguo Kingdom, he can also give her the position of the Marquis of the Zhenguo Kingdom in Xuanyuan Kingdom.z.br

But if you do this, I'm afraid it will make her even more disdainful, right?

He knew Zhu Jiu very well, but he was unwilling to watch Zhu Jiu inherit this title.

And he was not the only one who was afraid of this reward. Even the ministers on the side were quiet at this moment. Countless pairs of eyes fell on Zhu Jiu instantly, with all kinds of suspicions.

His eyes flashed, Xuanyuan Che glanced at the smiling Prime Minister Leng and his daughter, and then said to Zhu Jiu: "General, this Prime Minister Leng and Leng Qingxiu suddenly spoke biasedly towards you, I'm afraid it's definitely not good."

If you show courtesy when you have nothing to do, then if you are a woman, you will be a thief. How can people who hang out in the court not understand this truth?

only……

Zhu Jiu herself had no intention of accepting this reward. She came back just to save the Yan Kingdom.

She has not forgotten her true identity, which is Lin Ye, the eldest princess of Gaoxin Kingdom.

Coming back this time is already against the rules.

Therefore, Zhu Jiu stood up and said, "Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty. It's just that I won't receive any reward for no merit. All this is what I should do."

As soon as these words came out, not only Emperor Yan, but also other ministers were stunned, and even a little worried for her.

Zhu Jiu finally got rid of Prime Minister Leng's right-hand man, and now he has the opportunity to interfere in the internal affairs of the court, and he can inherit the title openly. Isn't this a good thing that falls from the sky?

Why is she still unwilling?

Leng Qingxiu was surprised and asked for everyone's thoughts: "Why? General Zhu, there is obviously no one in this court who is more suitable for this reward than you. Besides, this is also the emperor's good intention. Could it be that you have ruined it like this?"

What is the emperor’s intention?”

"Tsk, Zhu Jiu is really ignorant. Does he think that with a few military achievements, he will not take the emperor seriously?"

"Yes, this world still belongs to the Emperor. I didn't expect that the Emperor would still be alive and well, yet Zhu Jiu would dare to do such a rebellious act!"

Let me ask you, in this world, when the emperor wants to give someone a reward, there is no one like Zhu Jiu.

Just when Zhu Jiu frowned and was about to explain the reason to Emperor Yan, suddenly, Leng Qingxiu, who had been speaking for her just now, seemed to think of something, exclaimed in low voice, and then looked at Zhu Jiu with disappointed and surprised eyes: "General Zhu,

Could it be that you...are doing it for Gao Xingguo?"

As soon as these words came out, the splendid hall fell into complete silence.

Many people were originally looking at Zhu Jiu, but now their eyes were not only full of suspicion, but also full of shock and hatred.

Gao Xin State and Yan State also had enmity. Before the rise of Xuanyuan State, Gao Xin State had sent people to assassinate their late emperor in order to dominate the family!
