Chapter 783 The Grandmaster of Martial Arts
Sure enough, the Queen Mother came prepared.
"Yes, Your Majesty, I think so. Speaking of the eldest brother, now..."
"Ahem..."
The Queen Mother interrupted the Queen and gave her a look to shut up. The Queen was obviously not the kind of person who could not speak. She almost said her true intentions. How could this work? Fortunately, the Queen almost listened to the Queen Mother in everything. When the Queen Mother warned her, she immediately shrank back.
The old emperor knew what was going on. It was reasonable to say that the Queen Mother's statement was actually reasonable, but the question was how to blindly select?
The old emperor looked at the head of the Zhongjian Dao. The old man pretended to know nothing and acted like he didn't know anything. He was a little angry, but he had no choice but to nod and say, "What the queen mother said makes sense."
"Right, I think this is more appropriate. There are so many talents in our Great Zhao. Even if we just pick them randomly in this palace, there are many champions. Besides, which of the royal guards in our palace was not selected in the past?"
The old emperor didn't expect that the queen mother actually planned to randomly select someone from the palace to be the martial arts champion, but the old emperor soon felt something was wrong. This must not be that simple.
Imagine that the martial arts examination is about to begin. All the princes bring their own candidates to the palace to wait for the instructions of the emperor. As soon as the time comes, they will bring people to report to the emperor, and then start the competition.
Then the Queen Mother came out at this time to temporarily change the rules of the martial arts examination, which meant that she was going to gather all the people found by these princes together, and then let each prince blindly select talents. Then the people brought by these princes would naturally become one of the candidates that the eldest prince could select.
Then the other princes were just making things easier for others. The Queen Mother was calculating. Moreover, the martial arts examination tested the princes' abilities in all aspects. In this case, it seemed more appropriate for everyone to select talents openly.
Sure enough, the Queen Mother continued, "According to my idea, we have quite a few warriors in the palace now, so we can just call them all over. As long as they are young, they will have the opportunity to participate, and the Emperor's grace can also bless everyone. Wouldn't this be more popular? By then, everyone in the world will know that the Emperor respects talents very much. With such a broad mind, the people of the world will think that the Emperor is an eternal wise ruler!"
The Queen Mother is really powerful. One thing leads to another, and the Emperor can't refute what she said. The Queen Mother first talked about the fairness of the martial arts examination, and then talked about the views of the people of the world. This old woman is really good.
"Well, what the Queen Mother said is very true, but the Queen Mother, there is one thing you may have forgotten, right?"
Although the old emperor had nothing to refute, he still asked this question. In fact, this question refers to the matter of the sword being drawn after the sword is drawn. This matter is extremely important. If none of these princes are suitable after the sword is drawn, then it won't work, right?
"I know what you want to say. By the way, Taoist priest, tell me, if you don't get the chance this time, you can still get the chance next time, right?"
The Queen Mother looked at the head of Zhongjian Dao. The old man didn't intend to participate in anything. He came here to complete a task. His task was not to select the prince, but his apprentice was to select the prince. He came here to accompany his apprentice.
It's just that his apprentice didn't come today, and he didn't know where he went. He said he went outside to see the situation, but this person hasn't come back yet.
But since the Queen Mother asked him, he must answer.
Therefore, he hurriedly clasped his fists: "The Queen Mother is right. If it doesn't work this time, it will still work next time."
"See, isn't this over?"
The Queen Mother was overjoyed. It wasn't that the head of Zhongjian Dao had to interfere. Anyway, whoever was selected was whoever he wanted, and he couldn't interfere. This was the so-called will of heaven, but in fact it was the rules of Taoism. However, mortals in this world don't know the power of Taoism, let alone the karma of cause and effect.
They have not reached the level of cultivating immortals. The spiritual energy of heaven and earth is thin, and they cannot cultivate immortals even if they want to. It is not like the world where Zhang Zhiwen lives, which is a place with abundant spiritual energy and can breed immortals.
Although immortals are rare in the secular world, it does not mean that there are few immortals. It is just that immortals do not go to the barren land of the secular world, but stay in places with abundant spiritual energy. For example, the spiritual energy of Feixian City is relatively abundant, and Tianshui Fairyland is also a place with abundant spiritual energy.
The old emperor was completely at a loss in this situation, but he thought about it carefully and seemed to think that there was nothing wrong with the Queen Mother's decision. Otherwise, these warriors who participated in the martial arts examination would have more or less subjective views.
For example, the warriors who followed the third prince must have felt that the third prince had a chance to ascend the throne, so they had a utilitarian mind. This is actually not suitable for the martial arts selection. After all, the talents selected by the martial arts selection are to be loyal to the Great Yan Dynasty, not to any prince.
At least the old emperor is still alive, so we have to be loyal to him. How can we form a clique for personal gain? This is something that the old emperor would not like too much.
Another thing is, if these people are dispersed and the princes are allowed to choose, then the princes will not know who is who. They must be masked and the winner will be determined by the competition. This is a blind selection. Anyway, no one knows who is whose. This sounds a bit confusing, but in fact, the situation is roughly like this.
