The official road of the farmer

Today is the Queen Mother's birthday, and the whole world celebrates it.

However, the excitement in the palace has nothing to do with him. With Ye Junshu's Sesame official position, he is not qualified to participate in the birthday banquet.

Ye Junshu didn't have time to think about other things, because the first version of the ancient wheelchair was finally completed!

Ye Junshu stood in the yard, looking at the finished products placed on the ground, and there were many scattered objects around.

He put his hands on his hips, feeling a sense of accomplishment in his heart.

Maybe he can be an inventor!

Next, just experiment and see if there's room for improvement!

Ye Junshu sat on it and tried it himself.

When turning the wheel by yourself, it takes more effort and is not very flexible.But at least I can move around.

It was a little uncomfortable at first, but it got better after a long time.

Ye Junshu walked around the yard a few times.

There are no pneumatic tires in this era. Ye Junshu tried many things before he found something like rubber that was more elastic and wear-resistant.

The deceleration effect of the brakes is not very good, and you can try to improve it.

The position of the armrests should be just right, the back chair should be comfortable to lean on...

The height of the eldest brother is similar to him by visual inspection. If he sits comfortably, the feeling of the eldest brother should be similar.

Ye Junshu wrote down the areas that needed improvement, and then continued to study with Dayong and the others to try to optimize performance.

Just rolled up his sleeves and prepared to continue working, a servant came to report, "Master, someone is coming from the palace!"

In the palace?Ye Junshu was taken aback for a moment, he put down the tools in his hands, and while tidying up his appearance, he asked, "Did you say what it is?"

The servant said no.

Ye Junshu secretly wondered, now that the palace should be bustling, why did he suddenly come to this small official?Could it be that something happened in the palace?

Ye Junshu quickly went to the reception hall, where a strange eunuch stood, he hurried over to say hello, exchanged a few polite greetings, and the eunuch explained the purpose of coming here.

"Lord Ye, Your Majesty announces that you will enter the palace immediately to have an audience."

Ye Junshu received Emperor Tai'an's oral order, and then said: "I hope my father-in-law will wait for a while, and the officials will come after returning the clothes." He was wearing ordinary clothes, so naturally he couldn't enter the palace just like that.

The eunuch sat on the seat, was still polite to Ye Junshu, and smiled slightly, "Master Ye, please do what you want."

Ye Junshu quickly returned to his room, changed into his official uniform in twos and twos, and returned to the hall again.

"Eunuch has been waiting for a long time."

"Soon, not long." Seeing that Ye Junshu had packed up, the eunuch said, "Master Ye, please."

"Elder-in-law, please." Ye Junshu raised his hand and leaned slightly to signal.

The eunuch did not refuse, he was also a face-saving steward in the palace, so he had confidence in front of Ye Junshu.

Ye Junshu took a step behind and followed behind the eunuch.

Ye Junshu asked humbly: "Dare to ask my father-in-law, what is the so-called Your Majesty summoning officials into the palace?" He would never be named for no reason. Ye Junshu recalled that during this period of time, his sense of existence was infinitely reduced to zero, so there should be no troubles. .

Looking at this father-in-law's relaxed expression, it would not be a bad thing to be polite to him.

What's more, with Ah Yu in the palace, it seems that nothing will happen to him.

Thinking about it this way, Ye Junshu has nothing to worry about.

The eunuch smiled and said, "Master Ye, you don't have to worry, it's a good thing."

Could it be a good thing?If you have the opportunity to appear in front of His Majesty, civil and military officials, and foreigners, if you seize the opportunity, it is not impossible to soar into the sky.

When Ye Junshu heard his father-in-law say that, he felt relieved, as long as it wasn't a bad thing.

A carriage was already prepared outside the door, and he got into the last carriage, and then the carriage quickly galloped towards the palace.

There are royal symbols on these carriages, and most people will avoid them when they see them, so they drive very fast.

While sitting in the car for a while, Ye Junshu quickly thought of Emperor Tai'an's intention to call them into the palace.

Since there are foreigners, there must be a literary competition in the show. They are entering the palace at this moment, and it is very likely that they want him to participate in the literary competition.

As for why there is him, Ye Junshu pondered, nine times out of ten, Ah Yu played a role in promoting it.

Those who can participate in the birthday banquet are at least ministers of the fourth rank or above, and those who can achieve that position are mostly at least forty or above.And Ye Junshu and the others are the best of the younger generation.

Ye Junshu's eyes brightened slightly, his chance to stand up finally came!

He is not afraid of any challenge in any situation. In this big competition, if he performs well, the First Prince and the others will not be able to do anything to him in a short time!

The carriage stopped at the palace gate, and the eunuch in front took out a token, which was quickly let go, and then the carriage continued to gallop.

Not long after, the carriage stopped, and only heard a voice from outside: "Master Ye, we're here."

Ye Junshu immediately got out of the carriage.

Standing on the ground and scanning casually, he found that not only him, but Deng Hongyuan, Wan Xiuhe and Pang Lizan were also here.

They looked at each other, but it was not easy to greet each other at this time, so they smiled and signaled.

When Ye Junshu saw them, he knew that he guessed right.

"My lords, please come with the miscellaneous family."

Ye Junshu had just stood there for a while, when a father-in-law, about thirty years old, came to show them the way.

Ye Junshu knew that His Majesty called the four of them this time, and Ye Junshu was the last to arrive.

The eunuch who led the way did not bring them in front of Emperor Tai'an, but led them to a few empty seats on the periphery. Their arrival did not cause any ripples, and almost everyone focused their attention on the ring in the middle .

Ye Junshu's eyesight is quite good, although the distance is a bit far, he can still see clearly, there is actually an acquaintance on the stage.

When Ye Junshu noticed, Lieutenant Liao was throwing a burly man of foreign race off the ring, winning applause.

The fighting in the arena has been going on for a long time, but it is just a friendly competition. All countries and tribes can take the stage, regardless of whether they win or lose.

Lieutenant Liao stood on the stage for a while, and another challenger jumped onto the stage.

Soon the wonderful competition began again.

To be honest, this kind of wheel-based competition is very unfair to the people in front. After each competition, the physical exertion is getting bigger and bigger, and at the end, when compared with the energetic warriors, they will be at a disadvantage.

But since it doesn't matter whether you win or lose, it's okay even if it's a wheel game.Their fight this time is just to find out the force value of each country, and they have a bottom line in their hearts.

Sure enough, after two more rounds, Lieutenant Liao was thrown out of the ring in the third round, but despite his glorious defeat, he still made the people of Daxia proud. Among the people in front of the ring, he defended the ring the longest , won five games!

This greatly increased Daxia's prestige, Emperor Tai'an and other high-ranking officials smiled and nodded incessantly.

Ye Junshu looked at it for a while, and glanced in Li Yu's direction from time to time.

The first time he came, he was looking for where Li Yu was sitting. He was sitting conspicuously, and Ye Junshu saw it very quickly.

Li Yu was sitting among the princes, and his position was equal to that of other princes.

When Ye Junshu swept over, he also saw the first prince, but this time he saw a familiar face among the princes.

Just two days ago, the child of Ah Yu's relative's family that he took to play, the seventh prince was sullen, with a correct posture, and he was very handsome at a young age.

Ye Junshu didn't look surprised, but Ah Yu didn't say anything at the time, so he simply regarded him as a relative's child.

In the arena, it is obvious that warriors from other countries are competing, and the guards of the arena basically change every game. It can be said that they are evenly matched.

There were also one or two people in Daxia, who basically won one game and lost the next.

When the last Great Xia military general stands on the ring, the game will end.

Everyone accepted it when they saw it, and through the competition in the ring, everyone had an idea of ​​the force value of each country and tribe, and the fight was successfully concluded.

Emperor Tai'an was in a good mood, and his courtiers did not embarrass him and behaved very well.

He opened his mouth and said a few words, and gave generous rewards to all the warriors who entered the ring.

Envoys from other countries complimented Emperor Tai'an endlessly, praising the warriors of the Great Xia as indeed they deserved their reputation.

Emperor Tai'an was naturally humble and praised each other.

You come and go, the ring in the middle is quickly removed, leaving a large area.

After watching the powerful performance, the next step is naturally soft.

Wen Erhan's long-awaited literary struggle finally begins.

Then Emperor Tai'an called Ye Junshu and others to the front, and said to the envoys of various countries, "These four Qing families are the pillars of our dynasty. Last year, they stood out from thousands of students in the imperial examination, and they were named on the gold list..."

When Emperor Tai'an briefly introduced the characters who would appear on the stage, Wen Erhan looked over with piercing eyes.

Just as he imagined, he was imposing and imposing, with an extraordinary bearing, but standing there, he had the posture of a gentleman.

Emperor Tai'an finally said, "All honored envoys, you can challenge as you like, and you will be rewarded for winning or losing."

Ye Junshu and others saluted, "Your servants take orders."

Great Xia has always been a country with a strong literary style, but this does not mean that other countries do not pay attention to literature.

Moreover, communicating with foreign countries is not simply a matter of reciting poems and competing against each other. It also includes miscellaneous subjects such as astronomy, geography, and arithmetic. The content of the competition is varied.

And their literati are not nerds who only know the Four Books and Five Classics. Those who can stand here are full of economical talents, not to mention astronomy at the top and geography at the bottom, at least a little bit of everything.

Take Ye Junshu as an example. He has a wide range of hobbies and reads countless miscellaneous books. Moreover, because Li Yu fought in the battlefield and lived in the frontier, his focus in recent years has basically been to understand the history and state annals of various tribes in various countries.

However, this does not mean that he has not dabbled in other areas.

His memory is very good, and he basically has a photographic memory. The secretaries he read over the years are integrated in his mind, and his head is like a small library with rich storage.

Ye Junshu basically didn't rush to answer the questions at the beginning, because Wanxiu and them suppressed the possibility of him speaking, intentionally or not, and the three of them took turns to express.

If Ye Junshu rushes to answer regardless, it will be a bit ugly to eat, so he is not in a hurry.

From their methodical answering process, Ye Junshu learned that Wan Xiuhe was good at astronomy, Pang Lizan had some accomplishments in mathematics, and even Deng Hongyuan was quite eye-catching.

Frankly speaking, Deng Hongyuan's temperament is not suitable for being in the officialdom, but he has to admit that his literary attainments are quite powerful.

This is not difficult to understand, otherwise Deng Hongyuan would not be admitted to the second place, second only to Yu Maolin.

Ye Junshu sighed in his heart when he thought of Deng Hongyuan trying so hard to keep the eldest prince on board, what a pity.

With so many tribes and countries, some questions are very remote and profound. Sometimes they are stumped for a moment, and they can't think of the answer for a while. At this time, it is Ye Junshu's appearance.

Therefore, although Ye Junshu only said it two or three times, no one would ignore him. Basically, when he spoke, he was saving the situation.

All the officials present listened with gusto and made private comments from time to time.

Tried round after round.

In the end, Wen Erhan took out a scroll and said to everyone with a smile, "This is the upper couplet that I came up with after thinking about it for a long time. I don't know who can tell it right?"

Wen Erhan has a well-thought-out plan, he can't think of a second line that he can't think of even after racking his brains, even Mr. can't agree, let him see the demeanor of Daxia literati!

Emperor Tai'an smiled and said: "It seems that Wen Erhan is very confident, but my scholar is also very capable."

Wen Erhan smiled and said nothing, two young eunuchs stepped forward to support the core of the scroll, Wen Erhan unfolded the scroll and showed it to everyone.

Then he looked at Ye Junshu with burning eyes, and he could tell that among the four people, this person was the most knowledgeable!

The rapping eunuch looked at the scroll and was about to sing aloud. When he saw what was written inside, his smiling face suddenly turned pale, and he knelt on the ground with a plop.

Ye Junshu noticed the strangeness at the first time, his heart skipped a beat, and he glanced at the content of the scroll in an instant, his expression suddenly changed.

The expressions of Emperor Tai'an, the Empress Dowager and others changed instantly.

The Empress Dowager was instantly enraged, her face flushed red and she gasped, "This, this..."

The queen quickly gave the queen mother a sigh of relief, "Queen, please calm down and pay attention to your body!"

"Presumptuous!" Emperor Tai'an slapped the armrest hard, "Come here! Take down the people from the Tatana tribe!"

Except for the aliens, the queen mother, and the empress, everyone knelt on the ground instantly, "Your Majesty, calm down!"

As he prostrated himself on the ground, the smile on the corner of the First Prince's lips disappeared in a flash.
