Reborn ten times, she is the real daughter of the Marquis Mansion and she doesn't pretend anymo

Therefore, no one else said anything, only King Cheng asked a few questions unwillingly but dejectedly, and then fell silent.

Fortunately, Xiao Beichen didn't care about this kind of atmosphere.

Originally, he wanted to gather everyone together and solve the problem at once, so that Xiao Tang'er's elders and relatives would not always want to see her, and would have to worry too much if they couldn't see her.

He is also a relative of these people, so there is nothing wrong with treating it as a family dinner.

However, Yuntang had just asked her uncle about the situation in the southwest, and now that she hurried away, the topic ended.

Xiao Beichen looked at Xiao Ke and Xiao Yue, then at Jiang Yanting and Jiang Yanxuan, and asked about their daily martial arts training and study, and their performance in the army.

Naturally, Xiao Ke's performance in the army was better than Jiang Yanting's. After all, Xiao Ke was in the Southwest Army, and he already had the title of deputy general.

Jiang Yanting only went to the South Camp and was promoted to captain, but he had also served in the Northern Army. When asked about military strategy deductions, marching knowledge, and basic tactics when two armies fought, he could answer fluently.

Xiao Yue was also able to interject and express his own opinions on these matters. Only Jiang Yanxuan was a little distracted and had little interest in such discussions.

Jiang Yanxuan is also proficient in both civil and military affairs, but he knew very early on that it was difficult for the children of military generals to have a career, so he chose to take the imperial examination instead, and is now a scholar.

Among the four cousins ​​present, he is the only one who has taken the imperial examination.

After knowing his situation, Xiao Beichen said with a smile: "There will be a special exam next year, so you don't have to worry too much, just take the exam first."

An emperor tells you personally to take the exam first, which is almost like saying that as long as you can make the list, your career is almost certain.

Jiang Yanxuan quickly stood up, clasped his fists and bowed shyly, and promised: "Yanxuan will definitely try his best."

Next year will be the year for both the special examination and the academy examination. As long as you have the title of Tongsheng, you can try your luck in this year. The rest of the way will depend entirely on your academic foundation.

Speaking of the imperial examination, Prince Chenghe was also looking forward to it.

"My eldest son is studying at Yuntian Academy. I want him to take the exam for Tongsheng next year. If he passes, maybe he can get the title of Xiucai and then Juren."

Xiao Beichen looked at him and said with a smile, "Xiao Yan is not even fourteen yet. I remember he used to study in the Shangshufang. How come he went to the Southern Territory?"

Speaking of this, Prince Chenghe sighed and explained the whole story.

"It was because his grandmother was ill two years ago, so I asked him to go to the Lan family to visit her. When his cousin went to Yuntian Academy, he went along to play."

"As a result, she caught the eye of the great scholar Chu, so she wrote back and said that she wanted to stay there to study, and even threatened to pass the imperial examination and come back with a top scorer."

"I don't even have the heart to discourage his lofty words. He is a registered resident of the capital. If he wants to take the imperial examination, he has to return to the capital. He can't take it in the southern border."

Talking about their eldest son, Cheng and Prince Jun talked more, and Prince Cheng's originally depressed mood improved a lot.

Prince Chengyang has always been in charge of troops outside the capital, and his children all live with him outside the capital. The only ones who can always be by his side are Prince Chenghe's children.

As a result, two years ago, the eleven-year-old Xiao Yan went to the southern border and refused to come back.

What is often said in family letters...The children in the capital are so spoiled. His classmates in the academy even wash their own clothes, grow their own vegetables and raise chickens and ducks.

When Xiao Beichen heard Chenghe Prince talking about these interesting stories, he couldn't help but miss his youth at Qingfeng Temple. There were many Taoist temples in the entire Qingfeng Mountain, but their Qingfeng Temple was the most famous.

Of course, as the third brother, the fourth and fifth brothers were his friends who went to the East Territory with him. They could be said to be the three bullies of the Taoist temple at that time, jumping up and down, making chickens and dogs shout...

He is also good at growing flowers and making wine.

As they were chatting, it was noon. Eunuch Wang came to ask about the lunch arrangements. Xiao Beichen asked for a table to be set up here and asked about Yun Xuanyuan's test situation.

Eunuch Wang laughed and said, "Fifth Master said that the purpose of the test is to prevent the boys from being too complacent and just going through the motions. We will train them hard once and they will all pass. Now we are letting them eat with other guards in the guard camp."

Eunuch Wang glanced at the Prince of Chengyang and said hurriedly, "The two young masters of the prince's family also won with their martial arts and military tactics. They passed the test."

Upon hearing that the victory was achieved through martial arts and military tactics, Prince Chengyang smiled with satisfaction and looked somewhat proud.

Xiao Beichen was not surprised by this result. After all, he had discussed it with his fifth junior brother yesterday and even discussed how to train him.

Learning Taoism at this age is definitely not as good as they were at that time, but even if you really have talent, it is difficult to predict the result.

But what they want is to train a group of Taoists who can be sent out in the future to teach the army Taoist techniques and cooperate with military operations.

This group of Taoists are not the kind of practitioners who reside in Taoist temples. Instead, they are a team different from the Qinglong Guards but can become a supporting team for the Qinglong Guards.

They have not yet decided whether to set up a new government office for this team or to incorporate it into the Qinglong Guard. It also depends on the results of future training.

After all, the members of the Qinglong Guard are currently mainly selected from Taoist sects in various places or recommended by various places.

Some are cultivated since childhood.

After all, the Qinglong Guard has been established for more than ten years, and the people who were trained from young Taoist children back then have long become the backbone of the Qinglong Guard today.

However, these people are deployed in Qinglong Guard and Tianji Pavilion. Now if we want to promote it to various military forces, we need more people.

But it is obvious that universal popularization is a long way to go and cannot be achieved in one or two years. It would be much easier if we first focus on training a team that can be sent to various places for promotion.

Even if they become an auxiliary force of the current Qinglong Guard and are first mixed into the Qinglong Guard, it is feasible.

However, Xiao Beichen did not mention these ideas and goals.

Prince Chengyang still wanted to send his two illegitimate sons to the imperial guards and keep them in the capital, which was also a good way out.

Xiao Beichen asked Eunuch Wang to arrange the meal, and then found an excuse to get up and walk out of the side hall to see what was going on with Yuntang, so that he could have time to have a meal with his family.

Although Prince Cheng's amulet turned to ashes, he was sitting next to Prince Chengyang at the time, watching the conversation between uncle and nephew, and his surging thoughts made him unstable.

But with Xiao Beichen's reminder and replenishment of the Heavenly Talisman, even if they were eating at the same table, at most one more talisman would be used.

If Yuntang can suppress it for a while, he can also use the excuse to leave.

Although it is troublesome, exorcising evil spirits is what we have always done, it’s just that it’s done more frequently now.

In the side hall, as soon as the emperor left, Jiang Yanxuan immediately moved closer to Jiang Yanting.

He asked in a low voice: "Brother, when Tang'er left before, did you notice that there was a strange black color on her body, looming?"

Jiang Yanting's expression froze when he was asked this question, and he didn't know how to answer without attracting attention.

However, the two brothers didn't know that Xiao Ke and Xiao Yue next to them also had frozen expressions and dared not say a word.
