Chapter 147 I'm going to fly freely
Ye Hanting thought for a moment and said, "I can promise you, but you have to come back on time and don't play around."
Chu Li gave a flattering smile, "Of course."
Ye Hanting looked at the zither in the room, "Are you not going to learn High Mountains and Flowing Water anymore?"
Chu Li nodded his head and said, "No, I don't have time to learn."
Ye Hanting felt a little regretful, as he could have had more contact with her because of this.
His face darkened. "Get well and come back to study. If you can't learn, you're deceiving the king."
The corners of Chu Li's lips twitched. I'm going to fly freely. I don't care about my scumbag father's birthday.
But seeing Ye Hanting's serious look, she still said sincerely: "Learn, I will definitely learn when I come back."
Ye Hanting watched her leave happily, and looked at her back with the corners of his lips curled up.
......
The next morning, Chu Li attended the court on time.
Although her clothes were big enough, the baby in her belly was more than five and a half months old.
By six months, the pregnancy will be noticeable.
She had to leave before then.
Ye Hanting came early today. She secretly glanced at Ye Hanting, but he was very cold and didn't even look at her.
Chu Li knew that Ye Hanting was extremely reliable, so she felt relieved and prepared to show her acting skills at the end of the morning court.
Emperor Qingyuan sat on the dragon throne and looked at Eunuch Li.
Eunuch Li posted the answer sheets of the top ten candidates in the palace examination on the list one by one.
Then the top ten candidates came in one after another and stood in front of their answer sheets.
Chu Li frowned. What was going on?
Do we need to do some brainstorming?
Emperor Qingyuan raised his hand and said, "My dear ministers, this is the answer sheet of the top ten candidates in this year's palace examination."
"The imperial examination is not only a test for students, but also a good opportunity to test the abilities of the princes. Regarding this exam question, I have decided to let several princes and concubines express their opinions and answer the questions together."
Chu Yue's eyes widened with surprise. She had already made up her mind that after the morning court today, she would ask for leave and go to Tianwu Mountain.
Why does my father still want to take an exam?
It's so boring.
Chu Li heard about Prime Minister Jiang’s proposal that day, and it turned out that he was waiting for her here.
Prime Minister Jiang was afraid that he would embarrass her in front of all the candidates.
Ye Hanting's eyes darkened. It turned out that Prime Minister Jiang, the old fox, had set up a trap specifically for Chu Li today.
If other princes answered better than Chu Li, Chu Li would naturally not be worthy of being the crown prince.
He not only wanted to embarrass Chu Li, but most importantly, he wanted to let these ten scholars who would work in the court in the future see how incompetent the prince was.
He thought to himself: Chu Li has never seen the test questions.
There was no chance to prepare in advance, but the same could not be said for the eldest prince.
In addition to political reform, disaster relief, and diplomatic games, this palace examination also has another big question, perhaps the Emperor Qingyuan will take the exam.
Emperor Qingyuan said in a clear voice: "This time the test question for women is to select virtuous people, and the test question for men is to pacify the barbarians. We will only examine the pacification of the barbarians."
Chu Yue's eyes lit up with joy. This question was beneficial to her as she was fighting on the battlefield.
A faint smile of determination appeared in the eldest prince's eyes.
Lao Liu was confused. What the hell? Ping Rong?
What is that?
Barbarians and foreign countries?
The original owner raised fish and flowers every day, and had no strategic reserves in this regard.
Ye Hanting lowered his eyes. Chu Li had never been on the battlefield. Could she pass the test safely?
He raised his eyes and saw Chu Li frowning slightly, looking a little reluctant to participate.
However, he still has high hopes for Chu Li, as she has the ability to resolve crises.
Prime Minister Jiang looked at Chu Li's expression and smiled slightly. The prince was unprepared today, and he had already given instructions from the eldest prince. Let's see how Chu Li responds!
Yun Wanying stood at the end of the line. She felt extremely uncomfortable. She didn't believe that the princes and princesses could give a good answer.
Things like exams are all about luck.
Luo Mingchuan's eyes fell on Chu Li. His usually calm gaze became hot after seeing Chu Li.
Ever since he heard the prince's poems, he regarded him as a spiritual friend.
He believed that the prince might have the same opinion as him.
Li Jinglan stood straight, and from beginning to end, she never looked at anyone.
She was thinking about how she would answer this question if she were asked to answer it.
However, she was still looking forward to seeing the prince's performance.
Emperor Qingyuan looked at the ministers and princes who had come out of the line, and said, "Each of you has one cup of tea to think about this question. Whoever answers first can do it!"
Chu Li raised his eyebrows. It was very considerate of his scumbag dad to only give him ten minutes to prepare.
After a moment, the eldest prince was the first to step out.
"Father, I want to be the first to answer this question."
Emperor Qingyuan smiled with satisfaction, "Very good, as the eldest brother, it is only natural that you should take the lead."
Chu Yue sneered in her heart. Her father was indeed partial. The eldest prince was born on the same day as her, but when he was ranking the children, her father actually forgot to include her.
Therefore, everyone in the palace called the eldest prince, the second prince, the third prince...the seventh princess.
As he was calling out, he realized that he had forgotten to name Chu Yue.
Therefore, after she had made military achievements, her father conferred her the title of Empress Dowager, and no one cared about her ranking anymore.
If she wasn't useful, her father, the emperor, would probably not even look down on her.
The eldest prince's voice came out clearly, "The Great Chu Kingdom has many barbarian tribes. The two most powerful forces are the Dala tribe that is loyal to Your Majesty, and the Murong tribe that despises the imperial power."
Lao Liu narrowed his eyes and said, "Oh, thanks to the boss for telling me the background. He can stay for a while longer and listen to everyone's opinions."
The eldest prince continued, "I think that the matter of pacifying the Rong people cannot be delayed. We must pacify the Rong people first, and then defeat them one by one, divide and weaken their strength, kill the chicken to scare the monkey, and make each tribe fear the Great Chu and be loyal to the Great Chu forever..."
The eldest prince spoke eloquently, and some people expressed admiration for him. After all, the eldest prince had clear logic and a clear approach.
*** smiled slightly, with a hint of disdain in his eyes.
"The eldest prince's approach of defeating them one by one is feasible, but it is a bit stupid."
The eldest prince clenched his palms unconsciously. This damn girl Chu Yue just fought on the battlefield for a few years and thought she was so great, right?
How dare you call him stupid!
Chu Yue continued, "Everyone, why don't we let the Murong and Dala tribes fight among themselves? We in the Great Chu only need to divide and instigate them. We don't need to waste any soldiers. Wouldn't it be better to let them kill each other?"
Ye Hanting's eyes darkened. Is this how Chu Yue achieved her military exploits?
Relying only on conspiracy, intrigue, bloodthirstiness and cruelty!
He suddenly wondered whether what happened back then had anything to do with Chu Yue?
Then, the second prince talked about his strategy of appeasement.
The Sixth Prince basically agreed with the Second Prince's point of view. Born in a peacetime, he did not like war, and he also agreed more with the Second Prince's point of view.
It's not nice to use guns and knives for those raisins.
He is good at making up stories and gave a vivid explanation that was refreshing.
Emperor Qingyuan looked at Chu Li, who had his head down, wondering what he was thinking.
"Prince, tell me what you think?"
Prime Minister Jiang looked over and had various opinions. He wanted to see what Chu Li could come up with!
