All my subjects want to usurp the throne

Chapter 86 Taking off Dong Zhuo's black hat
Looking at the faces of the people below, Ling Xiao only thought it was funny.

Most of those princes and grandchildren were kept in cages, and their fingers were not touched by the spring water. Even if they had a cup of tea, they would be taken care of by someone.

The faces of the noble children changed one by one, they couldn't grab it at all,

They looked at each other, knowing that the emperor was absurd, but it turned out to be so absurd. Isn't it too casual to judge officials by hats?
There was a smile on the face of the civilian children. In the past, they had no chance. If it was a hat grab, as long as they grabbed it, it would definitely be his.

Dong Zhuo's complexion changed, and he stood up, "Your Majesty must never want to, how can it be such a trifling matter to do things for Da Qi Dynasty?"

"It must go through layers of screening, whether it is from the composition or the handling of the case, you have to take your time."

Most of the people I placed were among the group of canaries. If they couldn't win, wouldn't it be a waste of work in this palace election?

As Dong Zhuo spoke, the courtiers knelt down one after another.

Their attitude is particularly obvious, they just want the emperor to cancel this ridiculous practice.

Ling Xiao looked at the common people's children, and felt a little fond of him, feeling a little happy in his heart, he never cared about his background.

No matter what happens this time, I must not let other people be placed in the court.

Lin Ziye, who was standing behind Ling Xiao, frowned, what does the emperor mean by this?
Such absurdity, if it spreads out that it will bring bad reputation to the emperor, wouldn't the whole world laugh out loud?
"You don't need to persuade me to think twice. I think it's very good. Those who want to serve me, Da Qi Dynasty, should naturally work hard and obtain the black hat. I believe in the strength of all students."

"Besides, Wuxuan is separated again, everyone is very fair."

With one word from Ling Xiao, he blocked the mouths of the others.

All the young masters in the capital came here in extravagance, but it was hard to tell in front of the Holy Majesty.

Dong Zhuo clenched his fists and could only resign himself to his fate.

Just thinking about it, the emperor got up and walked towards him.

I thought the emperor was going to change his mind, but felt a chill on his head, and the hat was in the emperor's hand.

Seeing Dong Zhuo's bald head, Ling Xiao held back a smile.

"Our Prime Minister Dong is dedicated to serving the country. The black gauze hat on his head naturally brings luck. Our first round has begun. When I call stop, whoever has the black gauze hat in his hand will be the winner!"

Seeing Dong Zhuo touching his head in a panic, Ling Xiao felt a little pain in his stomach. He had no choice but to take advantage of this moment to bully Dong Zhuo, and he had to make up a reason.

But my heart is relieved, who made this old guy think about him all the time?

Even Lin Ziye, who was standing behind the dragon chair, smiled. The little emperor was too bad. After bullying Dong Zhuo so much, Dong Zhuo couldn't speak, so he could only let the little emperor do whatever he wanted.

In the past, when the little emperor faced Dong Zhuo, he was very submissive, but now he has changed a lot.

Perhaps, it is time to trust the emperor.

Students, looking at the black gauze hat in Ling Xiao's hand, Ling Xiao casually threw it away and sat on the dragon chair.

I saw those students, who had long lost their former delicacy, all went towards the hat.

The hat was caught out of shape, the strength of the civilian children, how could these canaries have snatched it?
In addition, Ling Xiao called to stop, and no one else could intervene. He could see whose hand the hat fell on, as long as his loyalty was high.

Everyone's hearts were raised in their throats, and they watched one by one, but Ling Xiao was really unhurried. After they fought for a long time, those canaries had no strength, and the hats would fall into the hands of common people.

Dong Zhuo was in a hurry to get out, seeing that the hat fell into the hands of the person he arranged, and he had been holding it for a while, but he didn't eat well at night. If this continues, other people will lose the hat if they chase after him. Hurry up. He urged: "Your Majesty, it's almost over. I think these people are tired. How about we stop? The students' bodies can't support it."

Ling Xiao didn't remember that person's appearance every day, as long as those adults were nervous, they actually inserted it in. Seeing that the hat fell into the hands of the common people, Ling Xiao stopped shouting.

The commoner boy looked at the hat in his hand in disbelief, how could it be him, as a commoner boy, does he have a chance to be an official?

The other civilian children are also very enthusiastic. This time it is particularly fair. As long as they can grab the hat, they will win.

Only Dong Zhuo had a bitter face, not only did he fail to choose his own person, but his hat was also damaged like that.

Next, not only Dong Zhuo, but other adults also had a bad face, and there were none of them who were selected.

As for those princes and grandchildren, only four were selected.

One is Nangong Fenglin, who everyone considers a waste. As for the other three, they are also from a family of upright officials and from a scholarly family.

A palace selection, everyone's face is heavy.

Taiwei Nangong was in a daze, he knew best how useless his son was.

However, this time the palace election was actually chosen, and he pinched his thigh hard.

With black gauze hats on their heads, the shapeless adults who had been destroyed long ago looked at each other. Everyone had gray hair and even bald heads.

However, none of their people were selected, and the emperor didn't seem to do it on purpose, but are those people really good?

Everyone was suffocating, but the emperor had already spoken, not to mention it was difficult to say anything in front of civil and military officials, so they had to think of a way during the military election.

Lin Ziye nodded, yes, and the emperor is indeed very smart, this method, even he did not think of it.

It seems that the emperor has indeed changed
The people selected by the palace are given pen, ink, paper and inkstone, which means doing things for the court.

Then put on official uniforms and hats for them.

Seeing their loyalty keeps rising, Ling Xiao felt a sense of accomplishment in his heart,
Only these civilian children can develop their own,
As for those princes and grandsons, they have families behind them, and they will definitely not surrender easily.

The reason why Nangong Fenglin was chosen was because he met him in the bamboo forest before and sold him for favors.

Besides, the Nangong family has always stood in a neutral position, which is not offensive.

When the palace election was over, Dong Zhuo wanted to walk away, but Ling Xiao stared at Lin Ziye behind him.

"These selected people are all outside the Imperial Academy. The Imperial Academy has not cultivated anything in these years. Lin Ziye, are you guilty?"

His voice was loud and his face was gloomy.

Seeing the emperor's appearance, he must be angry.

Everyone stopped in their tracks, staying and waiting to see the Hanlin Academy's joke.

Lin Ziye walked out calmly and looked at the superior person with neither humility nor arrogance.
