On the wedding night, the villain husband cried and his eyes turned red

"Your Majesty! Guan Jiajun lost again!"

After allocating five hundred thousand taels of silver, the Guan family's army not only failed to kill all the enemy troops, but instead retreated steadily and lost many soldiers.

The emperor was sitting on the dragon throne. When he heard the news that the Guan army had been defeated again, he cursed in his heart and started recruiting troops nationwide.

A few days ago, when he heard that the Guan family's army was defeated, the emperor began to think of changing his generals. But after thinking for a long time, I couldn't find a suitable candidate.

There is no way, Wanhua Kingdom has been emphasizing culture over military affairs for more than ten years. No one with some ability would choose to join the army. As time goes by, there are very few talents who can lead troops to fight.

There was no other way, the emperor could only put pressure on the Wen family to give them more money, and at the same time recruit troops across the country to replace the soldiers who had been lost these days.

"Your Majesty, the recruitment notice has been posted long ago. However, there are only a few people who come to apply!"

Hearing this, the anger in the emperor's heart could no longer be controlled. He slapped the dragon chair hard and shouted angrily:

"When they were taking the imperial examination, they kept saying it was for the country. But when the country really needed them, they all just acted like cowards!"

"Okay! If that's the case, don't blame me for being unkind. Come here, tell me my decree. Every household with a male of the right age must send at least one person during the recruitment. If you don't comply, the whole family's participation will be cancelled. Opportunity to take the imperial examination.”

As soon as this order came out, the whole country was in an uproar. The imperial examination is the most important event in Wanhua Kingdom. Whether they are dignitaries or ordinary people, as long as they can obtain fame in the imperial examination, the fate of a person or even a family will be completely changed.

"Mom! I don't want to go to Hezhou to fight! I want to continue studying!"

"Dad! We have four sons in our family, why do you have to let me go?"

"I don't care! Even if I die, I will die in Yong'an City. If you dare to force me, I will die for you!"

"Son, mother is kneeling down to beg you. Your brother has been smart since he was a child. The master at the school said that he will definitely be able to pass the imperial examination. Just listen to your parents and join the army, so that your brother can have the opportunity to take the imperial examination. .”

The sounds of crying, quarreling, and pleading were all mixed together at once. For every household in Wanhua Kingdom, this is bound to be a difficult choice.

In the Deng Mansion, Mr. Deng, Mrs. Deng, Deng Wanyu and her brother Deng Runze sat around and discussed the conscription.

"Master, can't you find a man of suitable age from outside, say he is your illegitimate son outside, and let him join the army on Runze's behalf?"

Mrs. Deng held her son tightly in her arms and tried to think of feasible ways, just to prevent her son from this disaster. Master Deng glanced at his wife and said helplessly:

"I wonder, will anyone believe it? Who in Yong'an City doesn't know that I am a strict wife, and you are the only woman in this life who has given birth to a son and a daughter, Wanyu and Runze."

"If this reaches the ears of the emperor, it will be the crime of deceiving the emperor. By then, not to mention Runze, our whole family will be in danger."

After hearing this, Mrs. Deng was obviously panicked. She quickly looked at her daughter to see if Deng Wanyu had any good ideas. But what can Deng Wanyu do about this kind of thing? She could only rack her brains and console her:

"Mom, don't worry about it. General Guan is Xu Shihuan's granddaughter, and Shi and I are very good friends. Even if Runze goes to Hezhou, they will take more care of him and will not put Runze in danger."

Seeing his daughter say this, Mr. Deng also hurriedly advised:

"That's right, don't you have a good relationship with Guan Shanyue? As long as you say hello in advance, Runze will be fine when the time comes."

But Mrs. Deng was still worried. On the battlefield, swords would not have eyesight. If anything happened to Runze, how could she survive?

Seeing that her mother was crying uncontrollably, Deng Wanyu had no choice but to secretly kick her younger brother and signal him to say a few words of persuasion. But who would have thought that as soon as Deng Runze opened his mouth, he touched the two elders' inverse scale:

"Dad, Mom, there's something I don't understand. Why do you have to ask me to join the army? If I don't join the army or take the imperial examination, then that's it."

"no!"

"no!"

The couple said in unison, and then gave their son a hard look with their eyes. But Deng Runze seemed to have neither heard nor seen, and said to himself:

"If you ask me, there's nothing wrong with me joining the army. I don't have any talent in reading, so I might as well go to the battlefield and try my best. Maybe I can make some name for myself."

"Besides, it's not like there are no scholars in our family. Didn't my sister pass the Jinshi examination based on her own ability? She is enough to study. I can do something else."

Deng Wanyu felt that what his brother said made sense. But what she didn't expect was that her parents were very repulsive to Deng Runze's idea of ​​joining the army instead of studying.

In their view, joining the army is a helpless move to take part in the scientific examination. Even if they risk their lives, they are not willing to let their son lose the opportunity to take the scientific examination.

"Runze, what nonsense are you talking about? Your sister is a woman and will marry into another family in the future. You are participating in the imperial examination not only for yourself, but also for our entire Deng family."

Hearing this, Deng Wanyu felt depressed. She stood up and walked out. But her parents, who had always cared about her, seemed not to notice at this moment and were still concerned about her younger brother.

A few days later, Deng Runze still joined the army. Unexpectedly, Deng Wanyu also went to Hezhou. It is said that she wrote a memorial overnight, in which she expressed her concerns about the war between the two countries and her desire to contribute to the Wanhua Kingdom.

The emperor had been angry about the conscription in Japan in recent days. Deng Wanyu's memorial was like a burst of rain, sweeping away the gloom in the emperor's heart.

It is said that when the emperor saw this memorial, he said hello three times. When he went to court the next day, he took out the memorial in front of all the civil and military officials and read it carefully.

All of this was done secretly by Deng Wanyu, and Master Deng had no idea about it. When he learned the news from the emperor, there was no room for regret.

He could only bite the bullet, accept the praises from the emperor and his colleagues, and watch his daughter promoted from the ninth grade to the eighth grade, and was sent to Hezhou to assist the Guan family army in fighting.

After returning home, Mr. Deng could no longer restrain the anger in his heart and shouted at Deng Wanyu:

"Are you crazy? Others can't hide, yet you rush to Hezhou to get together? If something happens to you, how will your mother and I live?"

Deng Wanyu was not at all intimidated by her father's words. Instead, she smiled and said unhurriedly:

"Didn't Runze join the army? I went to Hezhou, so I can take care of him more. You and my mother should feel at ease."

After hearing this, Mr. Deng still kept criticizing his daughter for making arbitrary decisions. But Deng Wanyu clearly saw the light flashing in her father's eyes when she mentioned that she could take care of Runze.

No matter how good this daughter is, she cannot compare to her son.

She instantly remembered what her mother had said when chatting with others. At that time, she deceived herself into thinking that her mother was joking. But at this moment, she finally understood that her mother was telling the truth.

Daughters and sons are different after all.
