Peerless Taoist

It was also because of the Xu Family's support that the various Princes of the Zhao Family tacitly allowed Shen Linglong to succeed the throne.    

The Crown Prince had his own considerations for doing so.    

However, he never expected that Lu Yu would suddenly appear out of nowhere and become the first in the theory examination.    

"It's also good that Zhang Xuance is the invigilator. If it was anyone else, I'm afraid they would really be frightened by the Crown Prince."    

In Pei Tianguang's previous information, he introduced all the officials of the six divisions and Lu Yu also knew about Zhang Xuance.    

This was an upright and upright official who was close to being stubborn. With him around, it was absolutely impossible for the Crown Prince to succeed.    

After reading the secret letter, Lu Yu frowned slightly.    

As such, he seemed to have become the opposite of the Crown Prince.    

However, he wasn't worried about the Crown Prince. Even his father, the mighty Emperor of Taiqian, was defeated by him, let alone the Crown Prince.    

He was worried about the attitude of the entire royal family towards the Xu Family.    

Lu Yu originally thought that this was just a simple family, and the patriarch was only a World Lord.    

But now, it seemed like not only could the Xu Family force the royal family to hand over the throne, they could also make the royal family do everything in their power to rope them in in for the sake of the throne.    

It seemed like the imperial family wasn't the Zhao Family, but the Xu Family.    

"When did this world have a family like the Xu Family? Xu Guizong, I underestimated you."    

Lu Yu shook his head and burnt the secret letter in his hand.    

9th of March, Imperial Capital!    

This day was the Imperial Examinations and the final round of the examination.    

The High Scholars who stood out from all over the Heaven Realm, as well as the geniuses recommended by the National Supervisors and the five academies, would all gather here on this day to participate in the combat examinations.    

Compared to the quietness of the theory examination, the combat examination was much more lively. Before the sun rose, the entire Tianwu Long Street was crowded with people.    

There were guards standing on both sides of the road to maintain order.    

These people were different from the soldiers in the four main battalions outside. Those who were selected to join the Imperial Army were the elites of the army. From generals to soldiers, all of them had experienced hundreds of battles and were filled with killing intent.    

Coupled with the cold armor on their bodies, even if they didn't say anything, they were still awe-inspiring and didn't dare to approach.    

Those who could walk on the streets were mostly those who had obtained the qualification to participate in the combat examination.    

After a group of people had been eliminated from the theory examination, there were still 300,000 people who participated in the combat examination. As long as they could pass the combat examination smoothly, they would be able to obtain the identity of a tribute and participate in the upcoming court examination.    

Different from the theory examination, the combat examination only had one location, which was the military point on the east side of the Emperor Capital.    

This was the place where the Emperor would personally inspect the army and send out troops. The area it occupied was extremely vast, and the surrounding flags fluttered, enough to accommodate millions of people gathered here.    

At this moment, the military point was completely surrounded by the Imperial Army, and not even a drop of water could leak out. Even if outsiders used Spiritual Sense, they would not be able to easily investigate it.    

Around the Infantry Regiment, there was also a group of embroidered Dragon Guards. They were specifically tasked to monitor the Imperial Army and the hundreds of officials.    

At this moment, Shen Linglong was still personally leading the troops at the front line. When the Son of Heaven was not around, they would act as the Crown Prince. If there were influential officials who dared to spread the news, they could act first and report later.    

It was at this moment that Lu Yu arrived outside the command center.
